BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266: Heartless
"You!" The black scaled python felt a rush of anger surge though it\'s body at Nox clueless question. It\'s entire body was trembling and even the grounds cracked underneath the beast massive form bearing the brunts of its anger.
Those red eyes became even more piercing and a fierce....it was clear that the black scaled Python was holding back from lashing out on the human standing fearlesssly Infront of it.
"You reek so much of her." A couple of seconds later, The black Scaled python finally spat out: "...It\'s clear you have something with her disappearance...yet yoi act dumb! Do I look like someone who is joking to you!"
As he said that last line, the black Scaled Python head lounged forward causing the air to ripple around it and it eyes were filled with murder.
Fwoosh!
It was going for the kill!
"Huh...why is he standing there." Bridget was at lost of words as she she saw the blizzare scene unfolding before her. She has expected the Nox and the magical beast to clash immidiatly in an epic fight.
She didn\'t expect him to talk to the beast! Which was supposedly impossible for Humans be it Awakened or mundane.
However Nox had simpley displayed too much illogical Actions that she didn\'t even feel shocked... only biwirldmment flicker and acrose her eyes.
What left her even more confused was why Nox stood there unmoving when the python lounged at him with the intention of kill.
\'Has he gone mad? Or does this beats have some sort of paralysis skil?\' Eve couldn\'t help but wonder aloud. She silently debated if she should rush in to save Nox or not. It would be really terrible if A talent like Nox perish here.
However before she could make a move, a sudden thoughts resurfaced in her head.
"This kid has displayed overwhelming control and strategic thinking during the tournament in the mysterious realm."
"Also he had kept everyone in check in the walls as well...let\'s wait a little, he must\'ve have something on his sleeves."
Bridget thought and decided to step back, it was big gamble and she could be wrong but she dicided to take a leap of fate and trust blindly on the kid she had only known for few hour\'s now.
As he watched the snakes forked tongue and those menacing red eyes grew closer, Nox was unflinchingly and remained calmed. This...this caused the black scaled python eyes to tremble in shocked and it came to a puase.
Drawing it\'s head back, the initial shock faded away as the snake ridiculed. "You... you\'re not only stubborn you\'re also a fool for standing blindly when you\'re about to killed."
Nox simply smirked as he said: "Well, it\'s only natural for me to be confident when I know you can\'t really kill me."
"You!" The black scaled python eyes flashed sharply.
"You need me alive." The smirk on Nox face only became even more annoying that it irritated the snake to it\'s bone as he added. "You need to know what happened to your wife after all... whoever she is."
Hearing Nox at the side Bridget couldn\'t help but display a smoke. "I was right.....he did have reason for standing steel like this...but to think he would gamble alone on that is a bit... scary."
"Hahahaha but I love it! I love this confidence!
"Huh?" Nox and the black scaled Python thought they suddenly heard a Crazy woman\'s laughter but they didn\'t think much about it and returned their attention to each other.
"You\'re indeed right." The black scaled python admitted quietly, but it\'s eyes turned sharp the next moment as it added in a dark tone: "Which why I have dicided to tourture the answer out of you before throwing you to my army to devour you!"
Rooar! Rooar!
As soon as the beast heard these word they started jumping up and making gurutual growls. Their collective jump sent mild termor through the surunding.
Nox shifted his gaze to the beast, those dark lightless eyes were even more frightening than those of the beast and they immidiatly flinched back slightly like rats. Nox then returned his gaze to the python and said: "Or you can just tell me a description of your wife. I meant plenty beast you know? How I\'m I suppose to know which of them is your wife?"
After a moment of contemplations the back Python-king realized what Nix said was right: "My wife was beautiful." It eventually spoke and it\'s fierce eyes flickered becoming more intimate and loving. It honestly weirded Nox a bit and his face twisted in irritation.
... irritation that he tried very hard to conceal yet it was just too obvious.
Founatly the black scaled python king didn\'t notice it and continued with its tale. "With shimmering azure scales and mesnerizing eyes she was the wish of all male Pythons and the females greatest bane..."
As the back Scaled python continued it\'s ramblings Nox eyes flashed....this description....it was the same snake that attacked the Barony a few years ago.
A bitter smile appeared on his face but he didn\'t interrupt the python king who continued to sing all sort of praise about his wife. Even the beast hord were becoming bored, it was very evident in their eyes but they dared not show it.
"Just what are they discussing about?" Bridget coundnt help but wonder aloud as she saw the magical beast animated gestures and Nox bored expression.
Unaware of Nox thought the snake finally concluded his tail and said: "so have you met her before?"
Nox hesitated for a while then said. "I have met her before...infact it was just some few years ago."
"Great!" The python eyes lit up in excitement: "How was she? Where did you meet? Has she given birth to our child yet?"
Nox listened to the rain of question patiently and when the python finally took a breath he said.
"She... is dead."
"Huh?" The Python\'s coiled form froze, eyes widenninh "What did you say?"
Nox\'s gaze didn\'t waver. "Your wife is dead," he repeated, each word deliberately cold and even. "My master wss the ones who blew her to smithereens. But," he paused, allowing the words to sink in, "I did assist them."
There was a long, charged silence before the Python\'s entire body trembled with rage and it\'s scaled gleamed dangerously.
"You...vile human!" The snake sheethed with fury as it charged at Nox "You\'ll pay for this! I\'ll make you suffer tenfold!"
"I\'ll gladly do it again if I have to!" Nox shouted as he charged forward to meet the beast headon.
From the side, Bridget eyes lit up. "Finally the exciting part!
