Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 31 – Thrill of the Kill (2)

She wanted to draw nearer, but the blood soaked streets made her stop.

Her knees turned jelly, and the metallic scent of blood wafted in her nose, overwhelming her as it came in all four directions.

Ishakan moved swiftly and gracefully, so much so they had trouble keeping up with him. He came up behind one of the knights, the one that was chasing after Leah, and broke his neck rather quickly before slashing at another who was nearby.

He quickly ducked, avoiding the knight coming up from behind, and grabbed his arm, flipping him over, and pinning him down. Suddenly a loud shrill was heard as a bone cracked, and then he moved on the other.

Blood dripped from his fingers, but before a drop could even hit the floor, hed already struck dead another knight, splattering even more blood. One by one the knights went down, until theyd all been wiped out, annihilated by their supposed prey. They were outmatched by the King of Kurkans.

And by the glint in Ishakans golden eyes, he was clearly enjoying the thrill of the kill.

Leah watched it all, a hand over her mouth as she tried to muffle the gasp of amazement. It spread an exhilarating thrill through her body. Kurkans were said to have possessed physical abilities greater than that of a normal person, but she didnt expect theyd be this strong.

The king barely even broke a sweat, his breathing remaining even despite the number of men he had been fighting against him. Not a scratch was made on his body, but he was bathed in the blood of the knights Byun Gyongbaek brought with him.

Suddenly, Leah had thought about the knights of Estia. Because they had been living in peace for so long, they hadnt bothered to polish up either skills or weapons. They could never hope to go up against the might of the Kurkans.

Should war break out, she would possibly be forced on her knees, begging Byun Gyongbaek for their lives. And should that happen, Estia would be at Byuns mercy.
