Crystal's POV:
It was only then did I realize that I was bawling because of extreme concern and distress. I lowered my head in an attempt to hide my emotions. "Strong winds," I quickly said, trying to deny the emotions I was going through. "I'm not crying."
Rufus didn't say anything and just looked at me with a meaningful expression on his handsome face. It made me feel so uneasy and self-conscious, and so I decided to turn into a wolf again. I immediately attacked the python, but this time, I made sure I hit it on its vital part.
Since Rufus had already dealt the huge beast significant damage, it wasn't able to defend itself anymore. It let out a pained hiss, and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
I honestly thought that that was the end of it, but I saw that the monster was still putting up a fight. Its body was still wrapped around Rufus, seemingly unwilling to let go.
Tears just began streaming from of my eyes at the sight. I gnawed on the python's body, hoping it would loosen its grip on Rufus soon. If not, the man I adored the most would really die.
"Crystal, it's okay," Rufus softly said, trying to comfort me as I continued attacking the python. "It can no longer do anything to me. It can't hurt me."
"Okay?!" I repeated, unable to believe what I was hearing. "This monstrosity will crush you to death!" I felt like I didn't have time to even think. I just attacked and attacked the animal.
I noticed that sweat already forming on Rufus ' forehead. This monster... was really going to kill him!
From the corner of my vision, I saw a number of soldiers approaching to help. Unfortunately, the python let out another powerful hiss, instantly knocking them to the ground. Worse, blood had already come oozing out of their ears.
Even I wasn't able to escape the deathly effects of this sharp, ear-numbing noise; blood had pooled inside my mouth, which I then had to spit out. I was becoming more and more desperate by the second.
It was then when Yana's voice came through. "Only a witch's power can defeat the beast."
I wiped the blood at the corners of my mouth. I had no choice—I had to use my witch power. It was dangerous, but if that was what I had to do to save Rufus, I would gladly do it.
As I was preparing myself to unleash everything I had, I heard cawing from above me.
