Tempting Fate

110 Chapter 110: Mission Accomplished

Emy did what Devin wanted. They could hear the creature’s growl coming from outside the cabinet. Devin looked through the hole the creature made when it buried its sickle in the cabinet and saw the creature just staring at the victim.

‘He knew the victim was sleeping in his dream.’ Devin thought.

Later, the creature turned to him as if it saw him, and then it ran away. Devin quickly grabbed Emy’s hand and quickly pulled her out of the cabinet. Devin immediately turned toward the window. He tried to open the window and broke it. Then he turned to Emy and suddenly picked her up. Emy was clinging to Devin’s shoulder.

“Hold on tight,” Devin told her.

Emy was just about to answer when Devin suddenly jumped. Emy closed her eyes and tried not to scream. Devin leaped from the third floor to the outside of the building.

When Emy heard Devin’s soft laugh, she opened her eyes.

“Did I scare you?” Devin asked in a whisper.

Emy went right down and pinched Devin’s side. “You are crazy, you jumped from the third floor.” She scoffed at the man.

“Because that is the fastest way,” Devin said.

.....

Later, they heard something strange coming from the building. Devin stepped in front of Emy to protect her. The creature was very surprised to see them. It even turned around and looked back, probably wondering how they ended up there. Devin smiled, and the demon’s brow furrowed. Then he turned to look at Emy. His eyes got big when he saw Emy. It moved.

“You got his attention, Emy. Talk to Avery and Reed to get us out of here.” Devin said.

“Huh? Can’t you be the one to lead us out of here?”

“I would like to, but I need to concentrate. The demon will attack and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

When the demon attacked, Devin used his hand to block the sickle it was using. Emy was surprised because Devin’s hand could be cut off. Emy looked for a stone and found one right away. She immediately threw the stone at the demon and hit it on the head with it. The demon was surprised and looked at Emy. It was surprised again when the rock hit it in the face. While Emy was fighting the demon, Devin grabbed the chain at the end of the sickle. He needed to get his weapon. The demon is confused about what to do first. He was trying to pull his sickle, but Devin had a tight grip on it, and Emy was throwing stones one after another. Wherever the demon’s body parts were hit by the stones he was throwing. They weren’t expecting the demon to fight back. It caught the stone that Emy threw and quickly threw it back to Emy. Emy got hit in the shoulder, causing him to drop the stone.

Avery was looking while Reed was staring at the sleeping man. A few minutes passed, but he still couldn’t reach Emy. When she tied the cloth to Emy’s hand, she knows she did the right thing. She took the small book and read the instructions again.

“You can’t still get in touch with them?” Reed asked.

“No, I don’t know. It’s possible I did something wrong.” Avery said.

“If they can’t catch the demon in 15 minutes, I’ll open the dimension tunnel and take away Emy there,” Reed said.

Avery glanced at Reed. “Miss Emy’s blood must be on the cloth I tied around her hand before I can talk to her.”

“How will that happen?”

“Miss Emy must be hurt...”

“Avery!”

Avery flinched when Reed’s eyes changed color. Reed took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

“Let’s wait a little longer, Sir...”

Avery tightened her grip on the sheath for her Katana.

—

“Emy!” Devin called. “Are you okay?”

“Of course,” Emy said. She reached out and put one of her hands on her shoulder. She felt a little numb, and she could tell where the blood was coming from.

“Remember that if anything happens to Emy, I’ll kill you and Devin.”

Emy turned her back. That was Reed’s voice. She could hear Reed.

“Avery? Reed?”

Devin and the demon are fighting over a chain. Devin moves the chain away from the demon, but the demon pulls it back.

“Miss Emy... how are you?”

“No, Avery, I’m fine.”

“You hurt yourself...”

“How did you know?”

“Have you already caught the demon?” Reed asked.

“Right now, Devin is wrestling with a demon. The demon is weak when he doesn’t have his scythe.”

“I’m going to open the dimension, and you have to pull him out of there.”

“Okay.”

A voice went away from somewhere. Emy turned to look at the demon, who was pulling the chain. He went up to Devin and pulled him away, causing the demon to walk forward. Later, it will work with them. The demon started moving. But when it saw the opening to the other dimension, it let go of the chain, causing them both to fall. When the demon ran away, Devin got up quickly. He immediately pulled on the chain that was attached to the demon’s body. It tripped and fell on the road. Devin quickly moves toward the demon, but it struggles. It immediately got Devin’s attention. And because he was bigger than Devin, he had a hard time wrestling with it. The demon grabbed Devin’s face with its large hand and rubbed its body over Devin’s. Emy quickly got up and walked toward the demon. It was trying to reach for the sickle, so Emy pulled it away with one hand. But the demon was too heavy, and she couldn’t handle it by herself.

“I need help, Avery...”

“What happens?”

“Pull on the chain, please...”

Avery turned toward Reed. “Sir, we need to help them out. The chain...”

“You came in here to help Emy. Bring the chain to me, and I’ll take care of it.”

Avery quickly stepped into the dimension. He quickly saw Emy pulling on the chain while a creature about the size and height of a bear ran towards Devin. Devin was trying to get the demon’s hand off of his face, which was almost covering his entire face with its width.

“Avery...?” Emy asked in shock.

Avery and Emy tried to pull the chain, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t. It was wrapped around the demon’s body, so they couldn’t get it out. Avery stood up, took out his one Katana, unsheathed it, and walked toward Devin and the demon.

The demon looked at Avery, and it surprised him to see her. She looked at the demon’s body and was sure that her Katana wouldn’t cut through it because it was so thick. If only she could use the power in that dimension, but the owner of that dimension was the dreamer. Avery left and went to Emy. She pulled the cloth from Emy’s hand.

“Use this dagger to stab the demon.”

“Huh?” Emy asked in shock. “Where do I stab him?”

“Anywhere, as long as he’s distracted, he can let Sir Devin go...” Avery said. “I’ll pull him out when you stab him.”

Emy took a big gulp of air. Since her right hand is injured, she doesn’t know how to use her left hand well. He got close to the demon. As Avery thought, Emy’s aura has a strange way of drawing people to her. After letting go of Devin, the demon tried to grab Emy. What the demon did, Emy didn’t expect, surprised her. Emy ran away as soon as Avery pulled the chain. The demon fell onto the road. Devin wrapped the chain around the demon’s neck, and Devin pulled Emy away. Then they helped Avery pull the chain. The demon was no longer standing, so they pulled him until they reached the door to the dimension. The demon was struggling. Reed gets Avery and Emy out of the dimension and helps Devin get the demon out.

When the demon got out, it made a noise, so Reed let out some black smoke and wrapped it around its head.

“The demon dagger belongs to me,” Reed said.

Emy gave Reed the dagger right away, and Reed floated into the air and came toward him.

“Why didn’t we kill him back in that dimension?” Emy asked with surprise.

“There’s no power that can be used in that dimension. The only one who can do it is the dreamer. We can only use physical attacks in the dream dimension.” Avery said.

A few seconds later, the demon was quickly stabbed with the dagger, and it slowly burned. Devin immediately went up to Emy.

“Is your shoulder OK?” Devin asked.

“Oh yes, it’s fine,” Emy said she had almost forgotten that she had a wound on her shoulder.

When the demon finally caught on fire, Devin and Reed teleported Avery and Emy out of the building right away. Avery looked down at her wristwatch. It is 3 a.m.

“Maybe there’s nothing that can mess with people’s dreams,” Avery said.

“As of now, nothing,” Devin said.

“Good job, you three... you’re superb,” Emy said.

Avery gave a smile. “You have an injury, Miss Emy. You’d better just take me home, and I’ll treat her wound.”

“I can heal Emy’s wound,” Devin said.

“Nope, Avery will do it,” Reed said.

“Well, when I treat your wound, Emy, it won’t leave a scar,” Devin said.

Emy glanced at Reed. He just looked at her, and then she looked at Devin.

“Thanks for offering, but I’d rather choose Avery,” Emy said.

Reed had a smile. “Let’s go,” Avery said.

Emy grabbed Avery right away, and she and Avery vanished from Devin’s view.
