妻子的谎言

"Ahhh!"

Akeno's body went smacked against the wall before she fell to the ground.

Benihime and Divanchi both had unexcited looks on their faces as they stared at Akeno's body.

They've been scrutinizing as she kept soaring from her seat and hitting the wall for over thirty minutes and still she had not shown any results.

"Damn that creature." Akeno affirmed as she slowly stood up from the ground and dust her clothes.

Benihime sighed, watching Akeno sit down on the chair to try again. "Hey, Akeno? Are you sure you know what you are doing?" She asked.

"Yeah, you've been falling a lot, it's getting really embarrassing to watch." Divanchi chimed in, with her hands tucked and her back resting against the wall.

Her eyes squirmed in aggravation but she didn't react to it since she still wanted to focus on her magic.

Akeno's eyes were closed as she held on to Sato's hand and went into deep Concentration, 'Come on, let it work this time.' She muttered to herself.

"What are you doing?".

"Eh?" Akeno immediately opened her eyes to see Sato looking at her with a deadpan expression, "You're awake".

"Obviously, why are you holding my hand?" Sato asked, looking at his hand resting close to Akeno's chest.

"How are you awake? I placed a sleeping spell on you." Akeno stared at Sato with utter disarray written on her face.

"Master!"

Divanchi sprinted to the bed and knelt beside him, "So, how are you? Do you feel better now?" She soothed him with questions.

With a weak smile, Sato responded, "Of course I'm alright,".

He sat upright and his eyes immediately hit Benihime who was looking at him from afar. They both stared at themselves for a while.

"Hey, about this morning…"

"I shouldn't have attacked like that.."

Both of them uttered their words at the same time. Benihime's face turned red which caused her to instantly turn around and stare at the door.

She sighed and then looked back at Sato, "Listen, a deal is a deal, you won the duel fair and square, and I wouldn't be much of a leader if I went back on my words." Benihime expressed.

Her face was extremely red, Benihime had to mutter all the courage she had before she was able to say them out loud.

Sato looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face, "Deal?" He muttered, "Oh?" Sato suddenly voiced out.

"The marriage? Oh … I was just stating a …."

Whoosh!

Benihime charged straight at Sato with her sword aimed at his head, "I'd choose my next words wisely if I were you." She said with a cold tone.

Sato raised his hands, as he anxiously looked at the tip of the sword, "Wow chill, I didn't mean it like that!".

Benihime searched his eyes before she sheathed her sword back; she cleared her throat, "Once you are done here, you should meet me at the office, we still need to discuss our next step".

"S..sure." Sato replied, a trial of sweat falling from the side of his head as he forced out a smile.

"Very well then." Benihime uttered before giving Akeno the side eye, "Akeno will inform you about the … trouble you have currently… good luck." She said and exited the room.

Sigh! Sato was relieved as she left, "Divanchi, how long was I out?" He inquired.

"Barely an hour." Divanchi responded.

"I see," Sato muttered.

<<You could have asked me that question.>>

'Don't be jealous.' Sato uttered before he got down from the bed and walked to the middle of the room.

Akeno stood up right after and walked toward Sato, "I should tell you about something… you see you are being targeted by a hunter".

"Yeah, I know."

"Oh okay… what?!!" Akeno exclaimed, "You knew and you didn't do anything about it?".

"Relax, I just found out about it myself, now do me a favor and step out of the room, unless you want to be its target too." Sato uttered with his back turned at Akeno.

"Don't flatter yourself, I have the blood of a god in me, I'm off its radar." Akeno exposed with a smug look on her face.

"Oh, in that case, feel free to stay and watch." Sato voiced out before stretching forth his right hand.

Divanchi monitored him for a while before she asked out of curiosity, "Master, what are you going to do?".

"I'm going to force this abomination out of me." Sato replied, 'Aril, ready when you are'.

<<The skill, body double has been activated>>

A huge wave of white shattered particles left Sato's body from his head to his feet and formed into another Sato right in front of him.

Both Divanchi and Akeno were surprised but they didn't interrupt, instead, they just watched Sato do his thing.

<<Body double created, shutting off magic circuit and transferring remaining essence inside the body double>>

Aril shut off the magic inside Sato, and transferred the ones lingering around inside the body double.

Since all creatures in this world needed magic to survive, Sato's body began to dry up while his body double was glimmering with magic.

"Master!" Divanchi cried out, she was about to run to his side when a huge force of wind suddenly fouled up around Sato.

And like a storm, the whole place began to shake as a dark entity crawled out of Sato's head with a loud growl.

Akeno moved back since she wasn't about to risk herself being his target. The hunter looked around and paused when it spotted the body double.

It immediately whooshed inside the body double and like that the wind blowing inside the room stopped.

<<Activating Auto mode>>

Sato's eyes turned red and with his hand still stretched in front of him , he voiced, "Predator!".

A huge force of dark mist whooshed out from his palm and coated the whole ratio of the body double before sucking it straight inside his hand.

<<Opening magic circuit>>

Gasp!

Sato's eyes went back to normal before he fell to his knees, coughing as he held his throat.

"Master, are you alright?" Divanchi asked, kneeling beside him as she positioned her hand on his back.

Akeno whobwas at the back, was completely astonished by what she saw, she became speechless, the only thing her eyes could at the moment was Sato.
