章 148: Awakening the monster in him

Meanwhile, Elliana who was finally able to get a hold of her touch on the ground, looked up into Sebastian's eyes, feeling grateful to him for not leaving her hand.

If he wanted, he could have left her and stood straight to protect himself, but he is taking the blow with her. 

"I will also protect you," Elliana smiled at Sebastian, who narrowed his eyes before huffing.

"Shut up, will you? Will you listen to me? Just keep your head on my chest. I won't let anything happen to you," Sebastian said, and Elliana smiled before opening her palm wide to form the shield around them so he didn't get hurt too much either while protecting her.

She smiled when the shield started forming, and took a deep breath before pressing her head further into Sebastian's chest.

Sebastian noticed the sudden change too.

The ground and the small pebbles that were supposed to scratch his back like they were doing earlier were not hitting him anymore.
