Chapter 229 - The Guardian Warrior
'Tristan?!'
Zhen-Zhen was fighting her own self, her inner demon. Tristan was hurt and it was because of her. Her inner demon had heard her voice.
She could feel it. Zhen-Zhen's concern for Tristan was strong that she was trying to regain and control her body. But her inner demon won't allow her to take over now.
'Stop. Go back to sleep. Don't wake up. Just stay there. Let me handle this. Let me take over your body and you will never get hurt again because of this man. He is just fooling you. He is just using you.'
Zhen-Zhen was having an internal battle with herself when Tristan tried to get up.
'Urghh, She's strong. Damn! Why do I feel like I broke my ribs and my back?' Tristan complained to himself.
When he looked in Zhen-Zhen's direction, she was holding her head as if her head was aching.
'What's wrong with Zhen-Zhen? Is she in pain?' Tristan was worried about her.
After getting up, he tried to walk towards her once again. Zhen-Zhen was murmuring something but he couldn't hear it.
"Wifey, please listen to me," Tristan started to speak, hoping that Zhen-Zhen would listen.
Zhen-Zhen's inner demon looked daggers at Tristan. She wanted to hurt him. She wanted to get rid of him. Because of his presence, Zhen-Zhen was trying to regain control of her body.
Zhen-Zhen started to create a fireball in her hand. Tristan stopped on his track when he saw her making a big fireball.
'What is she going to do with that?' Tristan had a bad feeling about it when he met her deathly glare. Zhen-Zhen's inner demon was still dominating her body.
"I told you to leave but you didn't listen! Now, you will die!" Zhen-Zhen's inner demon had this killing intent in her dark eyes while looking at Tristan.
'No, don't do it! Don't hurt him!' Zhen-Zhen tried to take control of her body but her inner demon was sealing her in her subconscious.
This happened because she made a deal with her. Zhen-Zhen was devastated after watching Tristan's video and witnessing Hannah's confession.
She was hurt. She was afraid that Tristan would leave her because of Hannah. So before it would happen, Zhen-Zhen decided to shut herself away and to escape from reality, letting her inner demon take control of her body.
Her inner demon took that opportunity to be free. She did something to Zhen-Zhen. She sealed her power so that Zhen-Zhen would be weaker than her.
Zhen-Zhen's inner demon was as sly as a fox. She's sneaky and wise. She decided to get rid of Tristan.
She released the fireball, aiming at Tristan. Tristan froze on his spot with his eyes wide open because of shock and disbelief. Zhen-Zhen was trying to kill him now.
The horror consumed his whole being. He just stood there waiting for his fate to happen. 'Am I going to die? Did she hate me so much to the extent that she wanted to kill me?'
'Nooooo!' Zhen-Zhen screamed from her subconscious.
Zhen-Zhen's inner demon miscalculated Zhen-Zhen's love for Tristan. Because of her action, Zhen-Zhen was able to find her strength to break the seal she cast on her. Zhen-Zhen pulled her back in her subconscious, now they were both facing each other.
Meanwhile, before Tristan would be hit by the fireball, someone interfered. A man in a black robe appeared protecting Tristan and blocking Zhen-Zhen's fireball with his own fire.
"You are evil. That's why you deserve to die. Now, you are trying to hurt people from this world. I should stop you." The man in a black robe spoke up.
'Who is he? He also has magical power. He can control fire as well.' Tristan pondered to himself while watching the man who had just saved him from Zhen-Zhen's attack.
Zhen-Zhen was no longer paying attention to the two men. She's busy fighting her own inner demon within herself.
The man in the black robe continued speaking.
"It was my fault. Because of me and my power, you were able to break the seal. So I came here to follow you in order to put an end to your evil self." The man in a black robe said as he raised the divine sword in his hand.
The man was the guardian warrior who accidentally broke the seal. He was a fire element wielder. He was lured by FaMo in the divine mountain and used him to undo the seal before.
The Head Shaman gave him the task to follow their guardian leader. She was worried about him. So they tried their best to figure out how to open the portal.
Finally, after one month, the guardian warriors headed by the Shaman were able to open the portal once.
He wanted to look for their leader as his goal but he ended up finding the demon god's daughter first.
When he saw her for the first time, he was not so sure if she's the demon god's daughter. She looked familiar to him. He was the only person who had seen her face after she woke up from her deep slumber when the seal was broken.
He was confused because Zhen-Zhen was able to mingle with the other normal human beings. He monitored her for a week, following her secretly. He was surprised that she even met new friends and she's going to school.
She was living like a normal person not until her inner demon took over her body. He saw her using her power. He noticed the changes in her and the danger she posed to this world.
He even witnessed how she tried to harm and kill Tristan. So now, he confirmed that the demon god's daughter was also evil. He heard her a while ago. She was planning to return and kill all the guardian warriors.
He was about to attack her when suddenly Tristan appeared and hugged Zhen-Zhen. He decided to watch them for a while, waiting for the right time to launch an attack.
When Zhen-Zhen attacked Tristan, the guardian warrior had no choice but to interfere and reveal himself to them.
Tristan who was just listening to him could already figure out that the man who appeared was one of those people who wanted to kill Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan shifted his gaze from the man in the black robe to Zhen-Zhen. He became worried about Zhen-Zhen's safety.
It seemed that Zhen-Zhen was not aware of what was happening right now. Her focus was not on them. She looked like she was struggling with something.
When Tristan saw the man raised his sword, the memory of Zhen-Zhen being stabbed crossed his mind. Then he acted on impulse, running in Zhen-Zhen's direction.
The two men were rushing towards Zhen-Zhen, one had the intent to kill her while the other wanted to protect her.
Tristan didn't know where he got his strength and speed to move faster despite the pain he was feeling all over his body. Maybe it was the effect of adrenaline rush combined with his will to protect Zhen-Zhen.
Zhen-Zhen was still oblivious of what was happening in her surroundings as of this moment. She was facing her inner demon in her subconscious right now.
