She Belongs To The Devil

Theodore threw Azriel back on the top of the hill with such a great force that the hill caved in and a large crater was formed.

Everyone who was below them in the Dragon Crypt began flying away from that hill. If they did not, then they were sure that they would die because of the clash between two fallen angels. They knew better and they all ran for their lives, they ran as far away as they could from the Dragon Crypt.

Though Azriel's huge amount of power was already wasted in casting the spells of such a massive scale earlier, he still had enough to defend himself from Theodore's wrath.

He quickly transformed into his dragon form and then roared while facing Theodore. And as though nature also reacted to his roar, the sky grew darker and it started to downpour furiously all over Wyverndale.

The two arch-enemies hovered in the air for a few seconds while throwing piercing gaze at one another. Both of them roared at the top of their lungs and then they both flew towards each other at their top speed.

And when they clashed, the sound echoed throughout the nearby hills, making it sound as though it was a series of thunder. Both of them bounced off after hitting each other and crash-landed on either side of the hill.

The two brothers had managed to fatally wound each other with just a single blow. Theodore was spitting blood from his mouth while Azriel was bleeding from both his nose and mouth.

But disregarding their fatal state, they got right back up and clashed with each other again. Theodore kicked the Dragon on his neck while Azriel sent Theodore flying away by hitting him with his huge claws.

The clash continued for a long time. The loud crashing and clashing sound echoed again and again. The battle sounds that the two of them produced were so loud that some villagers in the nearby village even thought that they were being attacked by the neighboring Kingdom that was behind those hills and mountains.

After about some hours, both of them were holding their stomachs and were grunting in pain. They looked terrible, they had bruises and cut marks all over their bodies, their eyes had already swollen. And they were barely managing to stand on their wobbly legs.

But still, they pushed themselves up again and came at each other. This time, before Theodore could reach near Azriel, the Dragon Immortal breathed out a huge ball of fire towards Theodore.

However, Theodore managed to maneuver his way around that fireball in time. He then went under the belly of that Dragon lord and used his sharp claws to slash the Dragon's gut. But Azriel's scales were stronger than iron and it was a little harder to cut them like butter. Still, Theodore managed to put two deep wounds on Azriel's stomach.

Azriel was already weak before he even started this fight. And when his wounds began to bleed unstoppably, he could not take the beating anymore and he reverted back to his normal form.

Theodore landed in front of Azriel and straddled him. He was still not satisfied beating Azriel even when Azriel was barely moving.

He smashed a right hook right on Azriel's face and screamed, "Tell me why you did that to Adeline?" He threw a left hook on Azriel's cheek and shouted, "What had she ever done to you for you to be so cruel to her?"

He threw continuous fists at Azriel and kept on shouting and cursing at him. And when he felt that Azriel was not even breathing, he finally stopped and got off of Azriel. He needed Azriel alive because he was the only one who could lift that spell from Adeline.

Theodore sat beside the almost-lifeless body of Azriel while breathing heavily, he was in no better condition than Azriel.

It was now already night and the downpour had already turned into drizzle. The two of them kept on soaking in the light rain. Azriel was vacantly staring at the dark clouds while Theodore was staring at his brother.

There was a silence among them two for quite some time. The only sound that could now be heard was the soft pitter-patter of the rain and their heavy breathing.

After a while, Theodore finally broke the silence and asked Azriel, "You wanted to punish me, right? You got what you wanted. So please… take that curse back from Adeline."

Azriel turned his face away from Theodore's sight and said firmly, "No, I cannot do that."

Theodore gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He wanted to beat the crap out of Azriel again. But he knew when to stop being arrogant. He knew that Azriel had an upper hand over him in this situation.

So he put his ego aside and spoke while controlling his anger, "What do you want me to do? What should I do so that you will lift those spells from her? Do you want me to beg?"

Theodore quickly kneeled down facing Azriel and bowed his head. And he pleaded to that heartless dragon, "Azriel, please, leave Adeline out of our issues. You want revenge, right? Then take it out on me. I am ready to take any punishment that you want to give me."

Azriel looked back at Theodore with a shocked expression. He then chuckled and asked, "Is this even you, Theodore? The one who never yields is even kneeling in front of me? You really have become shameless."

He then added in an amused tone, "I really underestimated that girl. She turned the almighty Devil Prince into her puppy."

Theodore dug his nails in the rocky surface that they were on. He swallowed his pride and pleaded again, "You have already put me through hell, so please, don't make her forget me like this. Lift her spell and you can punish me any way you want."

But Azriel scoffed and rolled his swollen eyes. And he whispered in a mocking tone, "You have not even been apart from her for a few hours and you are telling me that you have already been through hell? Then just imagine what I must have gone through for the past nine millennials after you killed my Athena?"
