Masked Girl And Her Prince 42 Chapter 42: Together

Loud laughter boomed across the field as they watch Lyndel stand up, voicing out her amazement. She clapped her hands praising them for their victory.

" But"

Lyndel's eyes suddenly glanced over at them and continued, "I can't let you gloat for long."

Then her eyes moved on to meet cold blue eyes and smirked, "I can't let you live."

Instantly, the surroundings dropped a few degrees. The cold chills emitted from the demon leader quivered the soldiers. They looked at thunder squad as their only hope to save them from the nightmare.

Lyndel knew they would lose once Freya was taken out of the equation. She wasn't sure whether the rest of them would have hidden skills but she was sure of the fact that Freya wouldn't be able to utilise that special move again.

Two times a day had already crossed the limits given the circ.u.mstances.

Lyndel walked slowly as she said, "I'm sure you are aware that with your heavenly power combined with your artefact, it still won't be enough to defeat me."

Freya gritted her teeth as she spat out, "You never know unless you try."

As soon as she conveyed those words, she stood straight and mustered the lightning within her. She winced slightly but recomposed her countenance soon.

Jinha looked on worriedly, "Stop that.. you will just damage your body."

She smiled helplessly, "Do we have any other choice?"

Everyone looked grimly towards the one demon standing far and smirking at them. Even though they defeated her soldiers, no one felt like they could escape the calamity today.

It's just that they could feel the immense pressure from her even with her not revealing it.

Lyndel watched as these fools try to stay brave in front of her with that little leverage bestowed upon them.

When Lyndel let out her aura, the soldiers retched blood as they couldn't withstand the pressure unravelled. The aura was slowly wrapping around them and strangling them like a serpent coiling through their body.

Usui's complexion paled further under the immense aura. He didn't have time to care about his body when he noticed Freya wince. He was about to move towards her when Freya's stern glance rooted him to his spot.

"I don't want you to be in my way." her words rang beside his ears.

He closed his eyes grudgingly, he was hating himself for being weak, for making her feel like he was a burden rather than her ally.

He clenched his fists tight as he exhaled. He concentrated on gathering enough mana in his core. He wanted to help out a little, even if that path meant losing another chance in life.

All he cared about was saving the woman he loved. He didn't want to regret not doing anything if anything bad occurs.

'If something bad occurs.. then I'm not worthy to love her.'

His eyes flickered when he found his brother standing alongside with the thunder squad members against Lyndel.

He hoped for something to happen as he didn't want the woman he loves to die without knowing his feelings nor when he was helpless.

Freya glanced at her friends and was about to order them to stay aside when she heard Zeno casually interrupt, "Just so you know you can't order us."

Hak joined in, as he bobbed his head, "It was different earlier. That power of yours would cause the people nearby more damage than protection. This time, we are standing with you, as your friends and not subordinates."

Liz took her head and gripped it, "We are in this together... We can share your burden."

Jinha grinned as he wrapped his arms around Freya, "We have to get through this alive before you start missing my cheesy lines."

Freya chuckled as her eyes twinkled in front of her friends. She was glad that she met these people in her life and was able to connect with them really well.

Zelal coughed slightly as he added, "Well, I wouldn't mind lending you a hand."

Liz raised her eyebrow at him and he continued fl.u.s.tered, "What are you staring for? I can't face my people if they know I ran away in the middle of the battle. I need to boast about my battle prowess and gain some advantage."

Jinha smirked as he added, "Advantage over the ladies."

Zelal flushed as he scolded him, " You... what nonsense are you spouting?!"

He turned towards Liz and said, "Don't take him seriously.. I don't do that."

Liz rolled her eyes as she said, "As if I care, Idiot"

Freya chuckled, "Thank you for helping us out."

He waved his hands, irritated with Liz's response.

' What's the matter with her?! I took my time explaining to her and what did she say.. as if she cares?!!!???! Hmph!!! see if I care! '

As her friends stood by her side, she had more confidence in pulling out her stunts.

'You need to hurry...I can only hold on for a short time.' she mumbled.
