Chapter 3 If you can save me, I will give you my body
Ultimately, you win some, you lose some. Even though he had awakened, his strength was a very far cry from what Annabelle had, and it would remain that way for the rest of his life.
A line of blood seeped out from the side of his lips, despite trying so hard to keep it in. Seeing the blood, Anna trembled vigorously as her eyes started brimming with tears a bit.
Seeing this, Ethan spat out the blood that had slightly accumulated and got up from his seating position. He embraced her with both arms while laying his right hand on the back of her head.
The thing that would have made anyone who would have sent this scene shocked was that Annabelle didn't resist and laid her head on his firm and sturdy chest. No one would ever believe this.
The Chairwoman of the Associations branch who was known as a stone-cold beauty who never smiled at all was actually acting like a docile wife who had done something wrong in front of her husband.
Thankfully, no one saw this scene, if it were not the case, numerous people would have had a heart attack due to shock and heartbreak. It would have been unknown if Ethan would live a couple of minutes longer than that moment.
"Am so…."
"Don't apologize. I know that you were trying to help me out, and am grateful for it". Ethan cut her off when she was about to apologize. Then an idea popped into his head as he smirked.
"Isn't the chairwoman of the association branch supposed to be a fierce and cold beauty? Why do I now have such a docile housewife?" He said as he spanked her buttocks!
Hearing his words and feeling his actions. Annabelle, who was resting on his chest suddenly, felt her face turn red when she called her a docile housewife. The words 'wife' were her primary focus.
"If the men of the city knew that their leader who was supposed to take them to battle was here with me, I would probably be killed just by their glares alone". He said in a slightly joking tone.
"Humph! Just countless unworthy rats! Let me see who dares to touch you". She said as her face turned back to the usual icy cold beauty that everyone knew.
Ethan chuckled. Most likely no one would recognize her at first glance if she put on the face she always had whenever she was with him. It turns out that there was such a side to such a cold woman.
Nobody would believe that the most powerful woman in Green will city, was actually subdued by a man who was an recently awakened. If they knew that he was just newly awakened, their brains would probably explode from over processing.
"I have to go!" Annabelle said as she retrieved a bunch of clothes from the spatial ring she wore on her finger. These weren't causal clothes but rather, combat suits specifically made to endure the strain of the hunter's full-fledged attacks.
Following which, she kissed Ethan again on his lips for a few good minutes and disappeared quickly. This was her special ability, Blink.
Ethan stood there for a few minutes, seemingly lost in a daze. He remembered the day that he and Annabelle first met.
About two years ago, he had already regained his sight back during his time in Reverb.
As a high ranked expert of Sky reapers in the game, the money he had accumulated over the years was in no way small, and thanks to his best friend who was one of the core members, he was able to buy a heavenly treasure that could cure all infirmities.
His guild had obtained it from a dungeon raid,, and he had happily used his life savings as well as his salary for two years to pay for it.
It was also that day that they chanced to meet in Reverb.
BOOM!!!!!!
He was shaken back into his senses and quickly looked up into the sky. Following which, his face turned grim at the sight of what he saw.
A huge dimensional Gate had appeared high up in the heavens. It was so large that it seemed very close, despite how far away it was. That was because, the whole gate had covered more than half of the whole of America.
It wasn't long before he saw an even more horrifying scene. Countless monsters poured out of the gate in droves. These monsters all emitted a fearsome aura that Ethan could feel from way down where he was despite the long distance.
It was the kind of aura he felt whenever he was with Annabelle, the aura of an
"Holy shit!" He shouted to himself as he immediately dashed forward, headed towards the battlefield. He wasn't thinking with his head, but instead..... Well..... He wasn't thinking at all.
He just ran forward towards wherever Annabelle would be. This was an instinctive reaction from a man to protect the woman he values at all costs, although the woman, he values, was several times stronger than he was.
With his newly awakened powers, he quickly ran through various levels of the city, arriving at the area nearest to the city walls. At that point, a frightening scene was taking place as the monsters from the Gate were engaged in close combat with Earths fighters.
But instead of calling it a battle, Ethan could clearly see it as a one-sided massacre. All it took was one slash from the monsters and about a dozen Beast Grandmasters and Grandmaster Martial artists would be ripped to shreds.
The normal civilians were also running and screaming for their lives in all directions, while many more were being slaughtered.
"Help! Help me!" Ethan turned his head around and his gaze landed on a particular pretty girl who was running and screaming for her life.
She wore office clothes and looked just like a secretary, but presently, her clothes were ripped in several areas along with a flow of blood.
As she was running, she bumped into a much more burly man who was also running for his life. The burly man stopped momentarily, but he didn't let it get to him as he continued to run for his life. Who the hell wanted to play the hero at this moment? All he wanted was to flee while cursing his parents for not giving birth to him with extra legs to run faster.
The pretty girl fell to the floor as more of her clothes were torn, as how the outfit was really too tight and could easily rip if enough pressure was put on it.
The lady tried to get up but was constantly being hit by other people who were just too scared to stop or notice her. Even if they were, they would probably not change their actions even a little.
Currently, a man appeared before the woman and yanked her from the ground. His eyes flashed with a lecherous glint as he ogled the woman's body that was half exposes.
"He-he! Since the world is coming to an end, no one will notice what I do to one single person among the heaps of people panicking.
He licked his large fish lips and gave a smile which looked uglier than crying
"Help me! Help!"
"Stop screaming and hold still, the man said as he dragged the lady towards an empty building. He kicked open the door and threw the lady inside roughly as he prepared to unbuckle his trousers.
"Nobody will hear you, and even if they do, who will have the time to care when they are busy saving themselves? I will fuck as many pretty women as I can for the short time I have left in this world, so I suggest you stop wasting my time and stay still". The man said as he drew down his trousers, exposing a rather pitiful sight.
Seeing this, the lady's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust as she looked at the man's ugly face.
"If you were handsome, I probably wouldn't mind. However, you want to get inside me, with that tiny thing you call a dick? I'd rather die".
She said in a firm tone that brokered no room for arguments.
Hearing her remarks, the man's ugly face turned livid as he nearly roared in rage.
"Humph. Even if you don't want it, I will still have you, whether you like it or not. Who's gonna care anyway?"
He was extremely gloomy when she insulted him for his looks. Although he hated to admit it, even he himself knew that he looked like an ugly breed of pig.
Even those at the night star Pavilion would usually turn him away, no matter how much money he has.
"Who said that no one cares?" A calm voice resounded behind the man, who was so gloomy that he didn't notice it at first. When he realized, he suddenly jumped forward in shock and turned around to see an extremely handsome man staring at him.
His face was calm, but there was a hint of rage in his eyes.
"Oh, thank the heavens, a prince charming has come to save me. If you can save me from being raped, I will happily give you my body".
As soon as she said those words, silence filled the room.
