Chapter 343 Failed Temptation
When Adrien found himself in the middle of a vast field filled with decaying corpses with towers staring straight into his soul, Billy was running from a beautiful, half-naked woman.
Billy should have enjoyed all of that because this was only a dream. Yet, he knows that this is not an ordinary dream.
Somehow Billy can wake up in the middle of this situation and know that this is not an ordinary dream. So that he can escape the temptation of a half-naked woman who he doesn't know what kind of creature she really is.
Billy could feel that there was an aura of sinister from that woman. Which made him keep running regardless of her seductive appearance.
'She's gotta some kind of monster!'
Billy kept running even though he didn't know where he was actually going. He was now inside a very large area of the castle.
The castle was filled with pillars of dark pink crystal that kept emitting a dim glow. The walls looked like they were made of fresh crystal with the same dark pink color.
But not all parts of the castle are made with the same rock crystal. Some of them are simply made of black stone that looks like obsidian.
The dark pink and jet black stones came together to form a dizzying hue for Billy. Because of that, he didn't bother to keep an eye on his surroundings.
Billy just ran as far as possible from the room where he met the woman. But, he then stopped. After realizing that his efforts were in vain.
"Huh..."
A sigh escaped Billy's mouth. He put his hands on his hips and breathed heavily.
"I'm not going anywhere."
Billy saw what was around him. This place looks the same as it did a few seconds ago. Billy only realized it now because he hadn't looked around when he had just started running.
The double doors with indecent carvings were still behind him. Standing towering as if mocking Billy's futile efforts.
"Where the hell am I now?" Billy wondered in frustration.
"You are in my castle."
Billy immediately jumped when he heard a woman's voice from next to him. She was the half-naked woman from earlier.
The woman was only wearing a small bra and panties. Those who are unable to hold all kinds of assets she has therefore make her underwear almost useless.
The woman's face was smooth and oval, with clear black eyes and long, shiny dark hair.
Seen with the naked eye, she was very seductive and no man should be able to resist her.
However, Billy was still able to keep his conscientiousness intact. He at least knew that the beautiful woman he met in this dream, in the suspicious castle, and with a strange aura surrounding her, was not a normal woman.
"Let me out," Billy said with a sharp tone and gaze after recovering from his shock.
The woman tilted her head and frowned. She looked at Billy as if he was an alien figure that was the first time she had seen him.
"That's weird," she said. "I've never met a creature that can resist my temptations."
"Yeah?" Billy replied. "Well, I don't care about your damn temptation. Now let me get out of here."
Suddenly the woman was in front of Billy. Billy didn't even know when she moved, yet now the woman was already holding Billy's head with both hands.
Her black eyes suddenly lit up pink as she met Billy's. She seemed to want to see inside Billy's soul, a creature that made her curious.
However, the woman suddenly groaned in pain and let go of Billy's head.
"Arghhh!!!"
The confused Billy could only stare at her in silence. The woman walked away from Billy as if he was a bane of her existence.
Billy was surprised, but he was also relieved. At least whatever was inside of him prevented that strange woman from doing anything to him.
However, even though he saw an opportunity, Billy wasn't sure if he could get out of this place. So he just stayed where he stood, waiting until the woman could speak again.
"You done?" Billy asked.
The woman was finally released from her pain for a few moments. Then she looked at Billy with an angry expression.
"Who are you?! You're not a normal human," said the woman.
Billy didn't know what she meant. But he chose not to respond.
"Tell me a way out of here," Billy said. "Or I will do the same, causing you pain."
The woman clenched her jaw. Staring at Billy with angry but curious eyes. 'He has an ancient power that can hurt me. Is that... Dragon power?'
"Hurry up before I lose my temper!" Billy said.
"Tell me," the woman said. "Are you a Dragonborn?"
Upon hearing that, Billy slightly widened his eyes. But before she realized it, Billy formed a normal facial expression again.
"What if I am Dragonborn?" Billy asked back.
Until now, he could conclude that the woman must be feeling in pain because she felt the Dragon's power within her.
It turns out that spending time near Erend has indeed proven to be very useful for occasions like this.
The woman was silent and stared at Billy with a stiff face for a few moments. Until finally, Billy felt all kinds of distorted things around him.
The walls and pillars of the castle become blurry. Then Billy realized that this was the time for him to leave this cursed place.
He gave the last smirk to the half-naked woman who was staring at him with a look of hatred.
While hoping that she will not want to meet him again because she knows that there is Dragon's power inside her.
