Alexandra's POV—
Henrich looked at me as if I had gone mad. I said, "For every people like you, there are people like Lia who counterbalance the void that you have created."
"Enough of your nonsense! I have tired of hearing this bullshit. Did you come here reading some comic books?" sneered Henrich.
I shrugged and said, "It's an old habit. But I think it will go away with the course of time." In my previous life, I had to deliver these types of lines frequently. Hah, I can only pray that it will go over time. Although, I have improved much in this life.
"Habit?"
I shook my head and said, "Forget it. We should focus now," I turned towards Lia, "I think you should go Lia."
"But—"
"You don't have to worry anyone obstructing you. No one will stop you as they are incapable of doing anything now. I can handle him. Trust me," I interrupted her. My words were empty but I had no other choice than to say these.
Henrich smirked, "You should go Lia. I will find you once this is over."
I nodded, "Go." Lia swallowed audibly and got up. Throwing me a last look of despair, she left the room, leaving the two of us to fight.
Henrich asked, "How are you going to do this? You don't have any ability, do you?"
"Haven't you read novels in which the protagonist has no ability but still they can defeat people with abilities? I am talking about people like you," I mocked him.
My words had an effect on him as he looked at me angrily. Henrich clenched his fists in anger. I took my stance. Just one hit and this fight is as good as over.
I dashed towards him with a clear intent of attacking him first. Along with that, I needed to see the extent of his power. I knew that he had a fire ability but it wasn't enough. Henrich raised his hand and a ball of fire appeared in his hands. He yelled, "Fire ball!"
What the fuck! Disbelief was evident in my face. Does he think naming an attack will increase its potency? Or, is he an idiot who thinks naming attacks will make him cool? I believe the latter is true. Trust me, yelling an attack's name won't do anything to its power. It will just show how big of a fool you are.
Yelling with all his might, he threw it towards me. I dodged it and the fireball hit a table. It started to burn. Gritting my teeth, I glared at him. How could I forget something so simple? His attacks may burn the whole house down.
[You can use the gun that you have your storage and end this.]
'No. I am not going to kill him even though, how much a scum like him deserves to die. I am not going to kill anyone except the targets.'
[Suit yourself. Don't regret when he defeats you.]
'I won't regret a thing.'
Henrich raised his hand again and conjured a fireball in his hand. He once again yelled his 'move' and threw it towards me. I dodged it once again and this time, the curtains were on fire.
"What? Are you scared of my power? You are just… dodging it. I am telling you that surrendering will be the best option. Be my lover and I will treat you like a queen. You don't even need to worry about the others. I will treat each of you equally to the best of my life. Then again, it depends on how good you to me," Henrich licked his lips, "and how good you are in bed. A pretty little thing like you won't survive in this apocalypse. Just surrender and I will forget your past transgressions."
I sneered in disgust. How much narcissistic a person can be? I want to tear his mouth off his face. This bastard! Once I am done with him, he will never be able to say these words to anyone. A thought entered my mind. Leaving people like this in the open will definitely be irresponsible of me. These types don't try to change themselves. They don't understand from their mistakes and will once again do things like what Henrich is doing now. It's decided. I will not kill him but I have to do something. Otherwise, I will be letting a monster like him off the hook to go and once again resort to kidnap women for his own lustful ways.
