chapter 11

...Flower of Evil...

Iseul went flying across the forests and hit onto a tree trunk before falling down. She coughed a mouthful of blood.

She had been fighting with this demon for a long time now but still couldn't lay a finger on this monster. Other that getting hurt constantly, she could do nothing. She felt like a fool who only knows how to swing her sword.

The demon landed infront of her elegantly, with a smile. "Oh my child,look how badly you are injured. Where are those seven men who accompanied you today? Hm? How foolish of you to come looking for me alone"

Iseul coughed before sitting straight with the help of her sword. "You –You have been stalking us all this time?"

The demon gave an eerie smile. "Of course! That's how hunting goes. Right? You have to wait until your prey comes willingly to your trap. And then,",he licked his lips with his long sharp tongue. The tongue almost looked like a snake tongue but at the same time,it looked like a human tongue.

"You disgusting wile creature who feast on human flesh! I will chop you into pieces!",she jumped back to her feet and launched forward with her sword.

The creature dodged her attack easily and jumped into a tall tree branch. Tilting his head,he spoke. "Who said I eat human flesh?hahahhaha"

Iseul didn't really care what he ate. She just wanted to kill this creature,here,on the spot.

The creature was incredibly fast and in a blink of an eye,he would appear anywhere you least expect. His laughter was echoing through the forest but it was really difficult to pin point where he jumped off to.

Iseul hissed in pain,feeling something penetrating though her flesh on the right shoulder. It was claws of that creature. It was behind her! The claws went deep into her flesh and she was sure that he could feel her bones.

The searing pain was unbearable. She screamed in pain but couldn't move her right arm which was holding her sword. The claws teared her flesh making her scream more and more. When she was about to fall on her knees,the creature held by her waist,supporting her. "You shouldn't have come alone here",he whispered into her ear but the next moment, he jerked backwards when Iseul attacked him from her left hand which now had the sword.

Iseul couldn't move her right arm at all but she still had her left arm. She would rather die than admitting defeat. This was the easiest way to gain power. If she could defeat a wile creature like this,then everyone will acknowledge her. Atleast,her father would notice her presence.

She charged forward again. The creature lit up a spiritual dark energy ball on his palm before shooting a blast to her direction. It was a fatal blow and she could only use her sword to shield herself. But the power was so strong that it made her hurl backward,throwing her towards a tree again. The pain on her shoulder sharpened in ten times which made her dizzy. She could already see black spots on her vision. Right now,she hated herself more than anyone. She is weak. Too weak. Fight a demon? Dream on. She is going to die together, she thought. 

Her eyes were slowly closing itself but she could still see the faint figure of that creature,walking closer to her.

What a shame. I thought this was going to be my first kill,but damn,who thought this will be MY own death.

She was going to close her eyes to accept her death but suddenly a fan flew across the air,shooting a blue spiritual flame towards the creature.

In the next second,a pair of white snowy boots landed infront of her. The white robes flattered with the wind,blocking her view from the creature.

She slowly looked up. "Your highness..",That's all she could say before passing out.

Yoongi looked ahead again and raised his hand to catch his fan. He looked at the creature who was sent flying backwards. Yoongi's eyes were like a frosty blade which said only one thing. "I'll kill you"

The creature landed on his toes elegantly even after receiving a blast of spiritual flames.

"Wow,that was a good one", he eyed Yoongi's fan with a smile. "I didn't think you could find the way this easily. How did you do it?"

Yoongi's eyes narrowed. When he came running to search Iseul,he couldn't find a trace of her. There was a spiritual array maze which distracted him from finding Iseul and he had to waste his time for a long time to break the array. He was scared to death on the way,thinking about Iseul.

No matter how hard he tried to come to her,he was still late. She is hurt. The sight angered him and an unbearable fury rose upone his chest.

"You filthy disgusting creature. You dare cause trouble,huh?",He seethed in anger.

The creature laughed loudly. "Why so mad? Look,she is alright",..."For now"

Yoongi's glare grew in ten folds and threw his fan across the air. The fan was his spiritual device and it was forged by his blood and flesh. It only listen to its master and only him. He would summon his fan whenever he needed and it will act upone its master's command.

The fan flew like an arrow and followed the creature who was trying to dodge the attack but to his annoyance, it followed him.

Yoongi summoned his fan back to his palms and looked at the creature who had jumped onto a tree. It smiled. "I don't want to fight anymore. I had already done what I wanted. See ya", It waved before disappearing into the thin air.

Yoongi was confused. What did he do? He didn't even have a proper fight. So,what did he really do?

Widening his eyes,he looked back at the unconscious Iseul. He immediately crouched down next to her and took her into his arms.

"Iseul! Iseul!"

He suddenly felt a little wetness in his palms. When he took his palm to take a look,his breath hitched on his throat.

Blood!

Her blood!

She is bleeding!

He immediately checked her injury and was taken back seeing how serious the injury was. Her right shoulder was completely torn. There were five bloody holes which had gone deep into her bones!

His fan disappeared into his palm and he immediately picked up Iseul before running away towards the hot springs where they left their horses. He didn't care to look for his rest of the brothers but luckily on his way,he saw Taehyung and Hoseok. They were probably wandering to find the demon. Once they saw Yoongi carrying the unconscious Iseul,they were alerted.

"What happened?!", Hoseok screamed.

Yoongi,"No time! Find others and leave this place! I'm taking her to the Palace!"

After Yoongi found their horses,he rode back to the Palace with Iseul in his arms. At that moment, a deep regret sprouted upone Yoongi's heart. There were so many 'shouldn't have' going on in his mind. He shouldn't have scolded her,he shouldn't have let her run away like that,and most importantly, he should have been a better person whom she can rely on. She had never approached him and it was his fault for being a failed brother.

He was really scared that time. He didn't know what more that demon had done to her. What did he do to her? Will she be fine after this? Will she really be fine?

Two weeks went passed after that incident. When Yoongi brought her to the physicians, they said they could treat her and she would be fine in a few days. But to their concern,she hasn't woken up ever since then.

The King only came once to visit her and that's all. Her mother had been crying all these weeks asking physicians to do something but they were helpless.

Her brothers were distressed. Even after cleansing her body from any evil essence, she didn't wake up.

After few more tormenting days, she finally woke up. She was all energetic once she was awake. She did remember what happened but she didn't speak much about it because it was embarrassing as heck to her. She couldn't defeat the demon. She was knocked out in her first ever fight with a demon. So embarrassing that she even refused to look at her brothers at one point but she was better after few days.

And again,everything went back to normal.
