221 THAT WAS NOT HER BLOOD

It was too late for Lou to escape the attack, thus the only thing in his mind was to protect this red haired woman behind him. He turned around and hugged her, shielding her, as he got ready to take the brunt from the impact. He had his back against the monster.

He swore in his heart that if he managed to come out of this mess alive, he would kill Sabian!

However, Iris shuffled her legs and poked her head from his shoulder and looked the monster right in the eyes, as she cried out loud. "NO! STOP!"

She did that out of instinct, she could feel her heart lurch to her stomach when the monster swung its huge arm toward them, but then stopped only a few inches away from them. He stopped the attack mid air and blinked its small red eyes innocently.
