Everyone was cheering for their deaths. This made Luna's heart beat faster and faster. It felt like she was going to have a heart attack.
Even though Mia was just as scared as Luna she continued to keep a proud look on her face.
Do as you please this isn't my first time!
Luna quickly looked back at Mia.
What!?
Xue Han grew impatient with them.
Enough talk! It is time for your trial!
Luna…!
Mia…!
Xue Han hands over the rope to the guard. The guard walked over towards Mia and Luna who were both held down. Luna quickly knew that she was going to be whipped.
As if this wasn't terrifying enough they are going to torture them and then kill them. This is too much to take in.
The guard waited for Xue Han's orders. Xue Han looked over Mia and Luna giving them a death stare.
I will give you two a chance to redeem yourselves. Admit that you two killed those poor female foxes and I shall make your deaths quick.
We didn't kill them we are innocent!
Humph! How disappointing. You still refuse to admit. Well then we shall torture you! Whip them!
The guard began to whip Luna and Mia multiple times. It was nothing but endless pain. Luna screamed at the top of her lungs and started to cry hard. Mia also screamed in pain and did everything she could to escape but the soldiers who were holding her down were too strong.
Blood started to fall off of their backs. Luna started to feel so weak and helpless. This was pain that she never felt before and it was horrible.
Please stop!!! Ahhhhhh!!!! We….are….innocent!!!!
Still lying I see continue to whip them don't stop!!!
Wan watched Luna get tortured over and over. Knowing she did nothing wrong the bastard did nothing to stop this.
Terra smiled felling happy that she won.
"Humph that's what you get! Beauty can only take you but so far. Now burn in hell where you belong!"
Just hearing their painful screams made Frost heart break. This was too cruel!
Poor Rex couldn't do anything to save Luna. What was even worse was that he felt every single bit of the pain Luna was feeling it was so awful.
Frost screamed so loud to get Xue Han's attention.
Xue Han stop!! If you keep doing this I'll never forgive you I'll always be rude to you!!!
Xue Han looked back at Frost but still had a cold look on her face. But deep down inside her heart ache a little.
"Don't worry Frost when this is over I will make sure you forget about them. And the spell will be complete. You will be mine and I will have so much strength."
Luna felt dizzy she lost so much blood she could barely stand anymore. Her legs were both shaking and she was covered in her own blood.
Xue Han waved her hand. As soon as the guard saw it they finally stoped.
Luna I will give you one more chance. Admit that you killed them.
Luna was so weak that she couldn't even speak or even move.
This annoyed Terra and she quickly shouted at Xue Han.
Chief Xue Han just kill her!!! She won't admit her wrong doing!!! Kill her!!!
The whole crowd joined in and shouted the same words.
Kill her!!!, Kill her!!! Kill that disgusting demon female!!!!
Fine! Since you won't admit your wrong doing I shall sentence you two death!!!
Xue Han waved her hand and the guards took Mia and Luna to the section where they will both be hanged to death.
Wan walked over towards Luna holding the rope in his hand. He gave a soft smile to her and whispered something to her ear.
Luna there is still a chance I can save you and your weird friend. All you need to do is accept me as your mate and I will save you. So choose me or the rope?
Hearing this option changed something in Luna. Tears continued to fall down from Luna's face but she used every bit of her strength to look at Wan and speak.
Go Fuck Yourself!
Wan was shocked to hear her talk to him like that. Though Luna was not the type of person to say such language all the time she even hates it. But in this situation she had every right to say it.
Wan quickly put the rope around Luna's neck.
I hope you burn in hell you snake hearted female!
The soldiers quickly pulled the rope. Luna and Mia both fell down but surprisingly both of their necks did not break. So now they are just fighting death as they are being strangled.
Terra was upset that they didn't die quickly. But at least it means more torture to them.
Luna was slowly dying. She struggled to get air but the rope was too tight. Luna slowly felt like fading away.
"Was this really it? Did mom sent me to this world to die?" I should have just stayed home…none of this would have happened if I just stayed home and never read that stupid letter."
" I'm going to die now…huh I should have known that I would die alone. It's always my fault I always get people I care about killed. Just like dad…mom…Rex…and now Mia.
Luna was about to close her eyes until she heard a strange voice in her head but it wasn't Zing. It sounded like a man with a very deep dark voice.
Hmm….how cruel…how dare they hurt you master?
"Huh? Master?"
Don't worry I won't let anyone hurt you ever again.
And with that Luna finally heard Zing voice again.
" congratulations host you have awakened a new ability. You awakened Rika the Demi of spirits" you can now use the temporary strength!"
Frost quickly gained his strength back and was able to transform into a white snake. He quickly burst out of the cage and rip each soldier apart of who dared to stop him.
At the same time And four of giant arms quickly came out of Luna's back. Luna felt so weak but can feel someone taking control over her body.
Everyone started to panic and run away. The four arms easily broke free from the ropes. One of the arms grabbed Mia and the other grabbed Rex to escape.
Xue Han, Terra, and Wan couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"What kind of magic is this?"
Even though Luna was still dizzy she looked around trying to figure out what was going on. Xue Han sent soldiers to try and stop them.
No! Don't let them escape!!! kill them!!!
But it was no use the four giant arms easily broke free from the soldiers. Its giant hands strength were unmatched.
Frost quickly bust opened the gate to help let Luna and the others escape.
Terra was furious to see Luna escape.
No! I knew we should have killed her in the beginning!! If none of you can kill her I will kill her myself!!
Terra transform into an orange tiger. She quickly used her speed to follow them. Terra's minion also transformed into her beast fox form and followed. Including Xue Han and all the other soldiers.
They were determined to kill Luna to complete the spell. Wan was about to follow until he noticed something strange on the ground. He saw beautiful colorful crystals that is worth a ton on the ground.
They were in the same place Luna's tears fell down. Wan looked closer and saw one last of Luna's tear tun into a blue crystal. It was indeed so beautiful. Wan realized that Luna's tears can turn into rare crystals.
Seeing this made him think for a moment.
" to think that she can even make her tears turn into crystals? I think it's time that I start to learn more about diamond beast." I must get Luna and gain all of her treasures."
Wan quickly ordered his men to follow him and chase Luna. Meanwhile the demon crow seeing everything that just happened grew even more fascinated with Luna. The crow flew to follow the others.
"When I first heard that there was a diamond beast here I didn't believe it. I was there when they all were wiped out. So it was impossible for me to believe that one existed. But there is indeed a diamond beast! Hehe I wonder how all of the ancient beast will feel about this once I spread the word"
Luna, Frost and the others moved as fast as they could to escape from death. It was heavy snow and it was freezing cold outside. But despite the chase and the heavy rain of snow they continued to—
Run far, far away.
