BLOODY LOVE'S
Episode 242

When his son's hands and feet were broken by Sir William, Edgar was on the other side of Bjork, faced with a dilemma. He sees Bjork being attacked by strange monsters that walk like apes but can creep on the wall. The creature was light brown or gray, attacking with its sharp claws and teeth, raging indiscriminately. Edgar slashed his kilij to behead one of the creatures.

"Is this what a golem is called?" greyland asked as he pierced with his rapier, throwing a creature far away to hit the wall of the house.

"It shouldn't be!" Edgar himself had never seen what the golem looked like, but the golem did not fall from the sky. The bells of the town hall rang out in utter disdain, along with the shrieking cry of monsters that did not stop falling from the sky. Some of the creatures crumbled and disintegrated when they fell head first, but most managed to land successfully on Bjork's surface and went berserk.

"We're staying to the South?" Greyland exclaimed again. He himself actually wanted to immediately find Marco, but his current task is to keep Edgar. A Greyland cannot leave the Argent he is guarding.

Edgar also wanted to go south, ensuring the condition of his family, but the creatures around him were clearly dangerous. He saw some patrolmen getting overwhelmed. There are also those who run away. "Protect Bjork!" shouts, swallowing a sense of hopelessness round and round. "Help the patrol!"

Greyland raised his rapier and repeated Edgar's command, which was met with a sword and excited exclamations. His troops split up in units each, leaving twenty people around them who continued to crush the skeletal monsters that came.

"I hope you won't regret this decision" whispered Greyland quietly beside Edgar. His hand stroked the mane of the horse, calming the beast.

"I'll regret it" Edgar replied coldly. Her tears fell from her left eye. "But this is what Marco will do. He had already accepted the challenge of building this city. Where I might let it crumble."

"You're right." Greyland stared at Bjork's streets grimly and then sighed. "He and his self-esteem are high."

They gouged out, coming up against the demons falling around them one after another.

One sheledbolis fell to Nolan's side, who immediately jumped out of the way. The creature let out a hiss like embers doused in water. His long shriek split the night. Dave swore in shock and immediately grabbed one wood from the campfire, directing his guts at the creature.

"What's that?!" nolan's screams were horrified, but while reflexively kicking the head of another sheldbolis that fell to the ground beside him. The creature made him creep in disgust and his entire scalp became itchy. He grabbed a stick of fire, followed Dave's example, and then pointed it at the creature, which had not yet retreated.

The caravan doors opened followed by the sound of two deafening gunfire explosions. Nolan felt his ears ringing. He turned his head, seeing that Mr. Stuart was still holding the gun vigilantly. The end of the gun is smoky. "All of you, come in!" his orders. "Protected in the caravan!"

Dave looked around, intending to be the last person to enter. What matters is the women first. Nolan did not enter immediately as he waited for the others to take cover first. Susan still clasped her short dagger as a weapon, her back clinging to the caravan, her face frightened.

"Where's Garnet?" ask Dave when no one is moving. He looked around and stopped at Susan. "Where is your non?"

Hearing Garnet's name being mentioned, Albert shifted Mr. Stuart's shoulders and stepped down from the caravan. His blue eyes stared fiercely around. "Where's Maria?!"

Winona suffers a panic attack in the caravan, Renata and Helga try to calm her down.

Nolan knows where the girl is. "Definitely overtake Jose."

***

Maria saw clearly when Jose eliminated Shakranim. He hides behind a shrub along with Hans. Maria wanted to sneak in alone, but was caught by the worker.

"I just want to peek for a while and then come back" whispered Maria when she was discovered, being careful that no one would hear her. Susan was distracting Nolan and Dave by making them hot drinks and having the two chat. Mr. Stuart in the caravan, asked by Mr and Mrs Garnet and Renata.

"Little Master asked me to look after Miss," Hans insisted. Because Gerald survived, Jose assumed it was due to a tattoo on his body, so Hans was sent to be Maria's guardian. "I have to go."

After arguing for a while, Maria gave up and let Hans follow her. It was a good decision because the man was then able to protect him from the fallen sheldbolis. Maria's attention was distracted by the creature until she did not see what happened to Jose. The sound of the man's scream made him jump in shock and come out from the hiding place.

"Jose!" he panicked to see the man slammed to the ground. Everything happens quickly. Sir William's demon vanished, Jose exclaimed to give an aba, then the sound of a continuous shot followed the fall of Sir William's body. Rolan, Marsh, and Clearwater and their men galloped across the bridge.

Maria held her breath watching them all turn to ashes in an instant.

"Miss, no!" Hans shouted to Mary who ran out of the shrub. He groped and threw down some of the sheldbolis who were in the way and almost attacked Maria. The man chases after him. "Miss!"

Maria doesn't care. In front of his eyes he saw how Sir William walked up to Jose like a predator approaching a prey. Where could he be silent. Maria knew the man would hurt Jose. "Sir William!" call him hard while he keeps running. His waist was cramping and his breathing was tight. Her tears are hot. "William don't!!" His voice was too small, not heard amid the strange roar of clouds in the sky, the bells of the town hall, and the shrill screams of demons filled the city.

If you're there, help me! Please help me stop your lover! Maria closed her eyes as she ran, letting the noisily hum in her head overwhelm consciousness. He would give up, he decided to give up. The woman can go out and take over her body as long as Jose can survive. He didn't want to see Jose get hurt.

His home. Maria sobs. He will give up the house, a strange house in his soul which he feels is not only lived by him alone. He'll give up anything.

Arabella, help me!

Lord, help your servant!

***

Jose knew the man wouldn't kill him, but Sir William would definitely leave him paralyzed. He could clearly guess what Sir William wanted to do.

I had to hold out until the eclipse, he thought. Time out!

But Jose can't think of anything. His head was dizzy and his bones were melting. Feels hot. It's a miscalculation. He should have let everyone stay in the South. Jose banged his forehead to the ground, regretting his stupidity. He should have been able to draw up a plan more neatly.

Sir William is in front of him now. Jose could see the end of his shoes. He could feel the biting cold coming from the man's body.

"Have you given up, Argent?"

"Cursed you!" sahut Jose furious. He raised his body with one hand to get up, but his arm was kicked and his body fell back.

"You look sweeter if you dwell in such a land" said Sir William calmly. "Your foul mouth needs to be addressed first. What if your tongue is pulled loose?"

Jose's entire body shook violently in horror. He knew the man was serious. Relax, I still have stamina, he thought amid a sense of turmoil. His eyes moved uneasily. First heal his feet, then kick him into the river.

But Jose had trouble concentrating as the air temperature plummeted and Sir William crouched down beside him, grabbing his hair. The man's fingers were cold, it felt like they were touched by ice.

"You're still up to something, Argent?" Those blue eyes stared without mercy.

How could her eyes be the same color as Maria but look so disgusting?

"You couldn't have done this before" Jose said in his time-stalling effort. His teeth rumbled so much that his voice did not sound too clear. "You can't turn others to ashes. That's not your strength."

"No, no" replied Sir William kalem. Her lips formed a sweet smile curve. "I borrowed my teacher's strength."

"Your teacher? You mean that Shakranim?"

Sir William chuckled. "I know you just want to buy time. What his name is not important to you know. We go back to my house now, you and I will wait for the eclipse there. But first, your tongue. Open your mouth here, it'll be easier if you work together. It doesn't hurt, it."

Jose gritted his teeth, preparing to receive pain or another attack when his ears heard a sound. A very familiar voice.

"Billy!"

Both he and Sir William looked to the South at the same time. Both of them were surprised to see the view. That's Maria.

Maria stepped across the grass field with both arms open, as if to hug. The girl's honey-brown hair fluttered in the wind, looking sparkling over the moonlight. The end of her dress covered in a coat fluttered lightly behind the body. Mary stepped fearlessly though sheldbolis fell down and screeched around her.

"Billy, it's me!" The girl laughed sweetly. "You don't know me?"

Jose gaping. That's not Maria. Mary never laughed that way. Mary did not move like that. Maria doesn't express that way. His eyes feel hot. The Mary he knew would not be able to look at another man like that. The girl just loves him. "Mary!" he shouted with a broken voice. He rested his body with healthy hands and tried to resuscitate the girl. "Mary come back!"

Sir William took off Jose's hair and got up. Her face is really bright. "Bella?"

"Where is this?" Mary looked left and right in wonder at the end of the bridge. His head was adorned sweetly to one side. "You're doing another miracle?"

That tone of voice was not Mary. Jose closed his eyes tightly to heal himself, but his concentration always froze. Everything's shattered. He struggled not to give up, not to despair, not to cry, but the world felt so cold and dark at this moment. Everything feels free.

***

"That's Miss Garnet!" nolan exclaimed from the end of the grass field. He still carries a torch. Mr. Stuart and Albert Garnet were behind him. Dave and Susan are guarding the caravan.

"What's he doing?" Albert was confused to see his daughter just cross the grass field casually. Somewhat far behind the girl, an Argent worker was busy kicking and beating every sheldbolis who was willing to attack.

Mary walked across the bridge, approaching a blond man who walked over while opening his arms as if he were about to hug.

One sheldbolis screamed loudly beside Albert and bouncy attacked. Mr. Stuart is quick to shoot.

Surprisingly, the sound of the eruption that was heard there were two.

Nolan stared at the convulsing sheldbolis on the ground with smoky smashed heads, then returned the face forward. The second sound came from Maria.

The girl at the end of the bridge, holding a gun with two hands, then shot once more towards Sir William who had already fallen to the ground.
