Bab 564: Dwarf Demons

Upon hearing the loud explosion, Ellie opened her eyes. When she realized what had happened, her heart palpitated in fear and her tiny face turned pale. But seeing she was in Max's protective embrace, she calmed down. Unconsciously, her grasp on Max's robes tightened.

How could Max not feel her fear when she was tightly pressed against his chest? When looking vulnerable, Ellie grabbed his robes, not willing to leave his embrace, his churning anger was further ignited. He had just apologized for hurting her, and had accepted her as his woman, but someone dared to attack them. It was unacceptable.

Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum!

His heart started pumping the blood at an increased rate and slowly, his eyes turned red.

He gently placed Ellie on the ground, making her eyes widen in fear. Seeing this, he forcibly suppressed his anger and tried to keep his expression normal and softly said, "It's alright. You stand here. With me here, no one can harm you."
