Back in the academy, the guard stared straight towards Medusa who seemed ready to fight him if necessary. The succubus was eager to see how capable the vampires were. Because Kayden had genuinely disappointed her before his awakening. Now she had experienced Aiden and he was also no less than an annoying specimen for her. Medusa was eager to explore and find out the capabilities of the vampires.
'You want a fight, huh? Then bring it on, let's see how much you can do!"
She smiled back at the guard who still stood outside the academy premises. Although he did not require anyone's permission to step inside. But he intended to see and analyse the person who could daringly ruin master Aiden's reputation.
Since Aiden belonged to a wealthy family there were people scattered around the area to protect him. The guard took a step further and crushed the victim girl's skull under his foot. Everyone gasped at the gruesome sight but Medusa seemed unmoved.
The guard crossed the boundary of the academy and stepped inside the premises. Medusa was eager and excited to see how far it could go. Thus deliberately tightened her grip around the rope, whereas Aiden was hypnotised and still sat on the floor like a puppy on his four limbs.
'Gah! You think you can scare me with this measly glare of yours?'
She scoffed at the guard's actions and crossed her arms to display her unmoved attitude. Seeing Medusa's unsaid refusal to release Aiden's rope, the guard was enraged because after all his life was also at stake.
His hands turned into a long single sword which was sharp enough to just slash anyone into two halves vertically. Medusa was not impressed by him because the succubus was confident in her capabilities and magic. She was well aware that if the guard somehow managed to hurt her, she could always use her magic to just finish him off sneakily.
The vampires had lost the privilege of magic which once used to run in their blood. The only way they could protect themselves was combat and the artificially induced powers. Just like the guard was given the power of metals, which were introduced in his body. Medusa keenly analyzed what metal it could be to comprehend the sharpness.
She was aware that certain metals could badly injure her kind, thus a careful analysis could save her head. The succubus' eyes travelled from his head towards hands and then to the feet.
'He seems like a normal person. And the metal inserted in his hands isn't lethal. He should be an easy opponent though.'
Medusa was known for her observation which was never wrong, but perhaps she was not fully sure in this case. It made her a bit uneasy deep down but now it was too late to retreat. The guard did not speak anything, instead lifted his sword- metallic arm and aimed at Medusa to challenge and warn her simultaneously.
However the woman did not show any sign of fright or defeat, and stepped forward towards the stairs. Whereas Aiden who was still tied at her mercy followed Medusa on his four limbs.
'I have to release this jerk for now. Everything should seem like it happened with him, it was consensual and I didn't force him.'
Medusa had made up her mind to let go of Aiden but also intended to pull herself out of this mess. The succubus sent a signal to him through the rope she had been holding. Her voice resonated in Aiden's head which stunned him. The whisper forced Aiden to listen and comply with the commands of the succubus.
She grew a bit impatient upon not hearing any response from Aiden. But did not let anything surface on her face for the guard to acknowledge her defeat. The attacker was halfway through the long entrance, which made Medusa think of some plan B because perhaps Aiden was either confused or unable to comprehend who was in his head.
The guard perhaps grasped that she was next going to get scared just with a bit of display of prowess. Thus he retreated those blades and fished a small device from his pocket. It was a blue pearl which he banged it on the ground and it split into numerous smaller beads. Which were hardly visible in the sunlight but Medusa could clearly spot them due to her exceptional senses.
'What the hell is this sorcery?'
She could not help but admit that it was something she did not expect from the vampires in general. Medusa had heard stories about them possessing some strange powers but never witnessed any such display. It appeared to be the battle of modern techniques and ancient magic, to prove which was the strongest and lethal.
Medusa concentrated on Aiden acknowledging that he needed to wake up from his puppy play and help her out. Whereas the people around them scattered immediately, acknowledging that a lot of bloodshed would rise if they stayed there. It was expected that the bloodlust blind guard would not spare anyone after he finished Medusa.
'Come on, you jerk respond to me.'
Whereas the succubus was trying hard to get connected to Aiden who was now completely zoned out and staring at the marbled floor. Medusa groaned inwardly and shifted her attention towards the guard, who lifted his hand up in the air and the beads whirred and floated around in a circle.
He pointed out his index finger towards the succubus, comprehending that metals did not scare her. The guard concluded she was used to combat and he required something different to kill her. The beads floated in the air and aimed at her, Medusa widened her eyes to immediately concentrate on Aiden.
She called out to him before it was too late, Medusa could feel that he was capable enough to fight the guard. Their brief handshake made her realize that she could use him in that matter.
"Aiden!"
The lethal pearls halted right in front of Medusa as a shield appeared in front of her.
