247 Ch. 247 'The Vampire's Trap'

Niken didn't want this man to experience the same thing. She didn't wish Kazuto to lose control and then regret the next day.

After calming herself down, Niken gently patted Kazuto's shoulder, causing Kazuto to shift his gaze toward her.

Miraculously, Kazuto's fierce gaze and killing intent when Kazuto watched Yang Shuo disappeared and was instantly replaced by nothing but gentleness as soon as a pair of his eyes rested on Niken's.

"I'm fine now. You can put me down."

"Are you sure?"

"En."

Slowly and gently, Kazuto lowered Niken to let the girl stand on her own two feet. Niken clutch Kazuto's clothe as if her life depends on them even though her feet were already resting on the ground. One of Kazuto's hands circled behind Niken's waist while pulling her closer with an enormous protective and possessive attitude.

The two of them didn't seem to want to separate, and both looked to Yang Shuo as their greatest enemy for having kept them apart for over two months.

Yang Shuo was irritated by the lovebirds' intimacy as if they wanted to show off their closeness to him. He remembered that Niken had never clung to him on her own initiative, and it had to be him who was trying to get close to her.

Now, the girl looked so affectionate and didn't want to move away from the black knight as if they were two magnets attracting each other.

Seeing this scene made Yang Shuo feel irritated, and his desire to break apart, the lovebirds became tremendous.

Kazuto, who was alert on the ball, could hear some noise from their surrounding. His eyes caught the small rocks on the ground, shaking as if the world was having an earthquake.

Niken also felt it, and she knew immediately that Yang Shuo was doing something, making her worry, and her clutch on Kazuto was getting tight.

"Kazu, be careful."

"En."

Both Kazuto and Niken's eyes interlocked each other with affection as if giving mental support to each other.

Niken remembered the last time they spoke was when Kazuto admitted that he had killed his own older brother. Then, Niken refused to talk and left before being taken by this vampire without her permission.

She hasn't had the chance to listen to the man's explanation or make-up with him, because of that…

"I love you."

Kazuto was taken aback by her confession. He never expected a confession of love to come out of the girl's beautiful, alluring lips.

As far as he could remember, Niken seemed to hate him very much when the girl learned of his past. He even had time to see how this girl looked at him with a look of fear as if he was a monster.

Who would have thought, precisely because he did not prevent Niken from leaving, a vampire he thought was extinct in this world instead kidnapped Niken.

Luckily, Kazuto arrived not too late, and he hasn't lost the girl yet.

Kazuto's gaze was filled with various emotions as he looked straight at his inamorata's pure eyes. It's been a very long time he hasn't touched this girl, and he was craving to the core and wanting to devour her right there and then.

But he managed to control his emotions because Niken would not be safe if they were in this place too long.

"I love you more."

Kazuto raised Niken's hand linked to his fingers and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. A white light mixed with black appeared from the back of Niken's neck as soon as Kazuto's lips touched the skin of Niken's hands, making Yang Shuo grith his teeth.

He had to separate the two people so that Niken's neck's inamorata mark didn't return to the way it was before.

Wuzzz!

Suddenly a wave of sharp blades came in frightening speed toward them, making them both have to release their hands to avoid the attack.

Kazuto jumped to the right side of the cave, while Niken jumped to the left, gaining a content wicked grinned from the vampire. In the next instant, Yang Shuo built a large cage out of his energy force and locked Niken in it so that the girl would not interfere with his battle with the black knight.

Kazuto felt angry that the vampire locked his inamorata like some pet and attacked the young man after transforming into a giant black wolf.

Yang Shuo showed an evil smirk upon seeing Kazuto's wolf transformation because, in this way, he would set an excellent trap perfect for welcoming the black knight's death.

The black knight's chance to win against him was good as zero if the man had magic. Let alone without magic as the Elementalist knight did not have magic cultivation as their strength base. Yang Shuo would emerge as the absolute winner in this match.

The flying vampire flapped his wings every time the black wolf pounced on him while setting traps every time he avoided Kazuto's attack.

As soon as the trap was fixed, Yang Shuo grinned from ear to ear, making Niken's blood to run cold.

Niken tried to get out of this big cage, but her hands felt shocked with a considerable electric voltage when she touched the cage pole.

In the end, Niken could only wait anxiously while watching this match.

By the time she realized that Yang Shuo was setting a trap for Kazuto, it was too late. As soon as the vampire snaps his one finger, dozens of spear-shaped spikes appeared from the ground surrounding Kazuto and injure and stab every inch of Kazuto's body.

Niken could do nothing but only watch with terror.

"KAZU!!"
