......"Hmm, are you sure you want to threaten me with her?" Aarav's voice cut through the charged air like a blade, his gaze unwavering as he locked eyes with the kidnapper leader.The sharp gleaming knife pressed against Bella's neck added a chilling urgency to the scene.Bella's heart pounded violently; fear paralyzed her, making it impossible to voice even a single plea. The cold touch of the knife on her neck seemed to sear into her very soul.She could only plead with her eyes, hoping Aarav could save her from the clutches of the kidnapper."Step... Step...!""Stop... right there. I am not joking when I said I would slice this girl's neck if you take another step!" The kidnapper leader's threat echoed, attempting to assert control, yet a subtle tremor betrayed his bravado when facing Aarav's relentless approach."And if you do, what do you think would happen to you?" Aarav's steps remained unyielding, bringing him within a two-step distance from the leader.His words served as a reminder to the kidnapper leader about the fate of his men."Think wisely, Mr. Kidnapper. You have a choice: harm her, and you won't live to regret it," Aarav's voice dipped lower, carrying an ominous undertone that sent shivers down the kidnapper leader's spine.The kidnapper leader, trying to cloak his fear with false bravado, scoffed, "You can't intimidate with your petty tricks, you punk. I've dealt with worse."Aarav's eyes narrowed, his retort slicing through the tension, "Worse than me? I doubt that. But go ahead, make your move. Just remember, it'll be your last.""Swoosh!"Aarav seized the opportunity when the kidnapper was momentarily distracted, imagining the scene in his head. With swift steps, he closed the gap and stood beside him."Bamn...Thud...!!" Aarav's elbow landed on the kidnapper leader's side, right on the liver. The impact forced the kidnapper to drop his knife, collapsing to his knees."Ahhh...Cough...Cough....!!"He clutched his stomach, crying out and coughing relentlessly, each breath marked by pain."Ahhh," Bella, her eyes closed in fear, feeling a strong gust of wind pass by."Are you okay... get behind me!" Aarav's calm voice prompted her to open her eyes in surprise. She found Aarav standing in front of her, providing a shield from the kidnapper.'What just happened, how did he do it.' Bella's mind swirled with questions as she looked at Aarav's strong back, feeling a newfound sense of security."Bamn...Ahhhh!""Now then, Mr. Kidnapper! How about spilling who you are and why you tried to kidnap Bella Rossi, the second miss of the Rossi family." Aarav kicked the guy, making him cry out and lie there at his mercy.His words seemed to fall on deaf ears, as the kidnapper continued to convulse, still experiencing seizures and clutching his stomach."Don't make me repeat myself," Aarav's annoyance was palpable as he stood over the guy, his intense gaze conveying the gravity of the situation."Step...!" Aarav stepped over the hand of the kidnapper, pressing his fingers beneath his weight to force him to open his mouth."Ahhhhhh...!" The kidnapper screamed, pain coursing through his crushed fingers under Aarav's leg."How tough...Again...!" Aarav, frustrated by the kidnapper's continued silence, again stepped over the kidnapper's fingers, this time targeting the other hand."Ahhhh....sto...Ahhhh...Stoppppp!" The kidnapper cried out in agony, the double pain now too much to bear. He pleaded desperately for Aarav to cease his ruthless torment."Huh, you feel like talking now!" Aarav, though visibly irritated, halted his steps, watching the kidnapper writhe in pain. His snot-streaked face and tear-stained eyes painted a sorry picture, but Aarav's frustration and fury overpowered any sympathy"Please... I will tell you, hey...!" Aarav, hearing the pleading tone, stopped tormenting the kidnapper leader, standing straight and waiting for him to spill the beans. However, he didn't notice the glint in the eyes of the kidnapper."Swiish....!""Haaaaa...go to hell...!" A whistling sound cutting through the wind alerted Aarav, who noticed the kidnapper suddenly lunging towards Bella, aiming for a fatal blow."Ohh...Nooo!" Aarav felt distressed and angry for letting down his guard against this scum.He reacted immediately, placing himself in front of Bella, who was still in a state where she didn't even notice the attack at all."Ahhh...!"The knife grazed Bella's beautiful left hand near her shoulder. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as pain etched across her face."Clang...fuck you bastard!"Aarav, his protective instincts heightened, glared at the kidnapper, a storm of anger brewing within him."You coward! What have you done!" Aarav's voice thundered through the room, his eyes ablaze with a mixture of fury and concern."Hahahahahha! This is what you get for cornering me, but I still failed to leave a deep scar on her, hahaha!" The kidnapper laughed sinisterly, his voice resonating with madness as if he had lost his mind at that very moment.Aarav couldn't shake the disturbing feeling that perhaps his kick had landed too heavily on the kidnapper."Thud...!" "Damn it...now I won't know why he was after Bella!" Aarav cursed as he witnessed the kidnapper fall to the ground right after his maniacal laughter."Shit...Ahh, are you all right!" Aarav cursed under his breath a few times before he went back to see if Bella was alright.Bella had a pained look on her face, almost on the verge of crying, the wound had already started to bleed a little."Tearing sound...!""Right, here this will do for now!" Aarav tore a piece of cloth from his shirt before carefully covering the wound.Just as he was done with the first aid, Suddenly he felt a few presences coming from behind not much distance from them."Click....click...click...!""Stop...hands up, put Your hands in the air, and don't move!" Loud, multiple clicking sounds were heard, followed by a stern warning, making Aarav freeze and turn around in shock.He saw four figures in uniform, guns aimed at him. Ready to fire, with a sinking feeling, Aarav thought he was in deep shit seeing them.............

320. Facing The Sinister Enemy
............"Whooosh...!!" Once all the energy settled in her, the Emilia men collapsed, feeling drained after giving all of their energy.But Emilia herself bathed in her family's energy as it slowly drilled inside her and made her own energy reserves replenish at an alarming rate before it got absorbed inside her.Her silver and gold hair flowed around her, and her iridescent wings were folded gracefully behind her, brimming with energy. She wore her diadem of delicate flowers and leaves, which shone like coming back to life after getting the fuel it had exhausted before."Knights of Elandor, please don’t worry about my safety and go all out. I can take care of myself and even give you my support, in which we excel," Emilia said in a calm tone, her expression remaining serious, looking battle-ready to face a dangerous enemy."Yes, Lord Emilia. We will give our all to make sure that we are able to buy us time," Sir Galen, impromptu leader among them, replied with a solemn look bef
319. Oppressive Pressure of Powerful Enemy
............"Ahhh... shit, I overdid it. But it can't be helped, there are way too many people who got injured. I really need to rest, but as I speak, the injured people would be increasing on the battlefield." Aarav collapsed on the ground after running around for hours, treating the injured civilians of the city.Fortunately, the less injured ones got taken care of by other healers. He couldn't imagine what would have happened to him if he had to treat every person by himself.There are at least 100,000s of people in the city — or even more. He didn't know the exact number, but he was sure he didn't have the energy to treat each and every injured person in the city.Fortunately, it’s one city which was swept up in the disaster — or maybe others got affected too, but he didn’t know about that.[Healing Count: 3,00,000]But the healing count showed that he had sure treated more than he had counted in his head."But it's nowhere near the next stage — 'Virtuoso of Vitality'. I need to
318. Unsettling Presence
............Another area,The grotesque monster-like creatures were destroyed by the combined attacks of Lord Thaddeus Lumara and Rajendra Chauhan, as they quickly dispatched one monster after another, saving the special squad of the Order of Unity before they got devoured by those grotesque, mud-like monsters."Hey, pal... are you fine?" Rajendra Chauhan asked as he struck the finishing blow to another monster and turned to look at Thaddeus Lumara, who was nursing his hand that got scratched by the mud monster."Ahh... yes, I am fine. But seriously, how many are these fucking things... I’m getting sick just seeing their ugly and disgusting appearance!" Thaddeus nodded back before cursing at the grotesque monster after dealing with them for who knows how long."Can you go on? It looks like these monsters have no end to them," Rajendra Chauhan asked as he looked around, noticing new mud monsters suddenly appearing after they had just gotten rid of the previous ones."We really need t
317. Arrival of Ally Force
............And Goddess Seraphina didn't disappoint her Heir—the help arrived right on time when the Archdeacons were decisively ganging up on her."Boooomom... Zaaaappp...!!"A loud thunderclap and windstorm pushed the allies and enemies alike, while holding Emilia safe and sound in between."Our apologies, Lord Emilia. We have been delayed quite some time." As the storm subsided, a group of people clad in battle-ready gear appeared as they spoke in unison, making Emilia glisten with happy tears."Hmmn... no, you arrived in time. Please help us drive out these enemies from our land." Emilia shook her head as she requested their help in a modest tone.All the allies of Aarav and Aria stood surrounding Emilia in a tight circle.The warrior-like Amar Aahuti from Ivorygate City, Master Healer Soren from Topaz Summit City, and Lady Isolde Moonshroud were in their top form, with tense auras around them.Others included Lord Thaddeus Lumara, Rajendra Chauhan, Sir Galen Quartzblade, Liam B
316. Troublesome Beasts
............"No... how could I retreat in this situation when we are being overwhelmed by our enemy? The morale would go down even more if I took even one step back, and it would be a disrespect to those who have already made sacrifices to protect us," Emilia responded with a firm attitude, showing she didn't have the luxury to take a step back if she didn’t want countless others to sacrifice for her.Emilia's silver and gold hair flowed around her, and her iridescent wings were spread gracefully behind her. The energy she was channeling suddenly doubled in amount and spread around her fellow family members."Please stop overexerting yourself, Lord. We can't fight against them for long." The Order of Unity men got even more worried seeing her indescribable appearance. Even though they had the urge to prostrate themselves and offer their prayers for her victory, the reality was different—one that made them more worried than relieved.They all knew it was inevitable, and their Lord Em
315. The Barrier Broke
............In the coastal region of Seraphina's Domain,"Ahhh...!" "Booomnn...!"The screams, along with exploding noises, were echoing.The two groups of people were at each other's throats—one attacking with all their might, and the other defending with all their might.The people on the defensive side started to show weakness and exhaustion after a long period of fighting."Ahh... puff... Gaahhhh...!" Even though the people on the defensive side coughed up blood and their bodies swayed from weakness and overexertion, they didn't dare to lower their guards and kept maintaining the shield strong and sturdy."All... right, STOP...!" Just then, a commanding voice stopped the attackers, who froze in their place after hearing the commanding and chilling order."Step... step...!" Loud movement noises sounded before a group of people clad in pitch-black attire from head to toe appeared a few steps away from the dome shield covering the defensive line and stopping them from moving.
