Bab 184: 183: Gratitude

The clash had happened in an instant. The weapon collided and the knife managed to graze Maria’s skin. But she had managed to stop the knife from attacking the beast behind her which was a huge win in her mind.

Poor Venus looked shocked as well as scared about the happening and Maria did not fault her for this confusion. She had managed to interfere in the nick of time after all.

The beast behind her gave her a curious stare but the blood flowing through its wound left him too tired and weak to do anything but sit back and look in front of him. It was a heavy wound as well, one that was earned through the outcome of a vicious battle.

“Maria, what are you doing? That’s a beast. We’ll get killed” Venus yelled. She sounded worried but also terrified of the monster. Maria understood where the princess was coming from.
