Villain Ch 760. The Villains VS The Power Couple [Part 2]
Azura's heart raced in her chest, pounding against her ribcage with a frantic rhythm. Each beat echoed in her ears like a constant reminder of the perilous situation they found themselves in.
With her hiding skill automatically canceled, Azura's form was now fully visible to their assailants, laid bare for the devil emperor and his minions to see. The realization sent a shiver down her spine, a cold wave of fear washing over her as she felt exposed and vulnerable in the face of their enemies.
Beside her, Allen's presence was a comforting anchor for her. But even as she clung to him, seeking solace in his strength, she couldn't shake the gnawing sense of guilt that gnawed at her conscience.
Your next journey awaits at empire
It was her suspicions that had made her feel guilty, her doubts and fears that had driven a wedge between them. And now, as they faced the devil emperor together, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for ever doubting Allen's identity.
The waves surged higher and higher. The sound of their crashing intensified, reverberating through the air like a deafening roar. The force behind them seemed relentless, as if it were determined to breach the barrier of the bone walls and engulf them in its watery embrace.
Allen and Azura climbed higher, their movements fueled by desperation as they sought refuge from the encroaching deluge. But with each passing moment, they realized that reaching the top of the walls would only leave them exposed and vulnerable to their attackers' onslaught, like a pair of sitting ducks.
Still… they pressed on, their muscles straining with exertion as they clung to the bone walls for dear life. But even as they climbed, the waves seemed to swell around them, their towering crests threatening to swallow them whole. It was a race against time, a battle for survival against the relentless fury of the sea and how they could hide from the villains.
'We are going to die, are we?' she thought. Yet despite the danger that loomed around them, Azura refused to give up hope. With every passing moment, she clung to the slim chance of escape, determined to weather the storm and emerge victorious on the other side.
"Any plans?" she asked, her voice tinged with urgency as she sought reassurance from Allen. She knew they needed to act fast if they were to stand any chance against their formidable adversaries. Azura's gaze flickered between Allen and the tumultuous waves below, she couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins.
The appearance of the devil emperor had thrown them into a perilous situation unlike any they had faced before.
But Allen remained silent. The gears in his head turned. The sudden appearance of the devil emperor had thrown him off balance, but as he took in his surroundings, a sense of clarity began to emerge.
Allen couldn't shake the feeling that Emma was somehow involved. It made sense. After all, she knew what happened and she needed to protect the game's reputation. It was the reason why she was willing to go to great lengths to protect his identity. And now, by controlling the doppelganger, she was sending a clear message to Azura: Allen was not the villain she had accused him of being.
With this realization, Allen felt a newfound sense of resolve take hold. This was no longer just a battle for survival – it was a chance to prove to Azura or whoever thought he was the devil emperor that he was not the monster they believed him to be. And what better way to do that than by facing his own character head-on, in front of a crowd of onlookers?
But Allen had to admit, defeating the villains with the limited skills he had as an assassin was not easy.
"Shadow Bind," the witch's voice rang out, sending a chill down Allen's spine. He knew exactly what kind of skill she was using, and he knew they had to act fast if they wanted to escape its grasp.
He knew they were in for another round of trouble. With the devil emperor, the dark priestess, and now the witch joining forces against them, their chances of survival seemed slim. He knew this ambush was his idea, still, his gamer brain took this as a real attack.
"Go up! Now!" Allen shouted to Azura, his voice laced with urgency.
With adrenaline coursing through their veins, Allen and Azura scrambled up the bone wall with urgency. Each handhold and foothold they grasped at was a desperate bid for survival, their muscles straining against the effort of climbing. The shadows writhed and twisted around them like a pack of hungry serpents, inching closer with each passing moment.
They knew they had no other choice but to reach the top of the wall. If they allowed themselves to be ensnared by the shadows, they would be immobilized and at the mercy of their enemies. Trapped in place, they would be vulnerable to the onslaught of attacks raining down upon them, with no means of escape.
The sound of the crashing waves grew louder, a constant reminder of the imminent danger they faced. The water churned below them, waiting to swallow them whole if they faltered for even a moment. But Allen and Azura pushed forward, their determination unwavering despite the perilous circumstances.
With each passing second, the shadows closed in, their tendrils reaching out like grasping claws.
"Ah!" Azura gasped as she felt something wrap around her ankle, pulling her back with a sudden jolt. She stumbled, almost losing her grip on the bone wall as panic surged through her.
"Allen!" she called out, her voice tinged with fear as she struggled against the unseen force that threatened to drag her down. Azura's heart raced as she glanced down and saw the shadowy tendril wrapped tightly around her leg, its grip unyielding as it threatened to pull her down into the abyss below.
With mounting panic, she frantically tried to shake it off, her movements growing more frantic as the tendrils below reached out for her with menacing intent.
