My Boyfriend Is a Demon 40. The Last Wish
Sitting on a bench of what appeared to be leather, although most likely it was not, Shandra could hear the echo of the shouts, whistles, clapping, and boisterous arguing of the huge crowd that attended the arena.The young woman was inside a compartment in the actual fighting arena itself, and all that separated it from a sandy strip three times the size of a soccer field was a low, rusty, barred gate.Binding his feet and hands were two chains connected directly to the stone wall. They were probably magical, as she tried to recite a spell to unlock anything, and all she could manage was to realize that they were tighter than before.While waiting for the announcement of her battle, Shandra thought about what she would do. Even if it was true, and that fairy blood ran in her veins, that didn't make her skilled at all. All she had been able to do, other than ready-made incantations described in a book, was by pure instinct.Could instinct save her from that disaster? Probably not.Soli
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 41. The combat
Sam and Julian are seated next to King Solis, officially as honored guests. However, the demons are not stupid. They know that they are there, high up in a chamber with a privileged view of the arena, because they cannot intervene or help the poor human below in any way.In other words: they are no less than prisoners.The fight was about to begin. Both the red-haired and the black-haired boy tried in vain to fathom who or what Shandra's opponent would be. The knowledge they had about fairies was general: mystical creatures strongly linked to nature, winged, lived in separate cities and were also endowed with magic.If they were in condition, if more than half of their powers had not been nullified, drained and weakened, Sam would destroy not only that arena, but anyone who stood in their way.As if reading his thoughts, Julian murmured:"How long do you think it would take?"Sam knows exactly what he is talking about. Curious, Solis raises one of his eyebrows as he listens to the par
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 42. Power
Sam and Julian, who were already predisposed to blow the whole thing up from the start, have to take a very deep breath in order not to murder the Fairy King right there.Instead, trying at all costs not to scream or slap the monarch, Sam says:"A werewolf? A werewolf here?"Julian also has his reasons to be irritated, though not as much as Sam.Solis gives a small chuckle, although his guards have become more alert to the posture of the two demons."Not just a werewolf, boys," he says. "But something totally unheard of."The fire-eyed man closes both fists, looking once again at the wolf that is growling furiously at Shandra."But werewolves aren't like that! And what do you mean by unheard of?"The King's gaze becomes more serious, as if he were saying that Sam had better remember who he was talking to. The old man just says:"Watch closely."Down below, sweating like a pig and feeling all the danger alerts screaming for her to run out of there, Shandra took two steps back, but soon
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 43. Exhaustion
Sam and Julian don't move.Not because they don't want to. But because they can't.The silence in the arena is deafening.Julian discreetly stops Solis.Just like the rest of his guards (the rest of the whole place!), he doesn't seem to believe his own eyes.Down below, Shandra falls to the ground, unconscious.Sam quickly screams, which alarms the sentries. Before they can do anything to the demon, however, it falls to its knees, though it doesn't pass out."Sam!" Julian goes to him and kneels beside him."She's drained."Solis listens to the little conversation of the two. He moistens his lips, his expression completely closed."The battle is officially over. Shandra has won."A buzz slowly takes over the crowd, who point, whisper, and debate what just happened there.Solis looks at the two demons:"I'm going to ask just once. Is your goal to overthrow a kingdom? Or to completely eliminate an entire civilization of magical creatures?"The redhead opens his mouth to answer no, but th
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 44. Acusation
Julian knows it doesn't do much good, but still, he tries to control Sam's moods:"She's fine. You'll see that we'll be able to get out of here tomorrow anyway.""I don't trust that damned King, nor the supposed safety of this place," he grumbles, looking at the windows and the night sky outside.The two of them were in a large room with two beds, a bookcase crammed with books and other trinkets. Outside, three guards guarded the door, although the demons were in doubt as to whether it was to protect them, or prevent them from leaving.Sam was still exhausted, but he could already walk and talk normally, probably due to his faster recovery."He could have killed Shandra at any time. If he hasn't done that by now, I don't see why he would do it later.""Because he's a cursed fairy with a lot of power? And we're in his territory? Is that not a convincing argument for you?""The human has Aresta blood in her veins. He wouldn't dare. And we've both seen what she's capable of."As soon as
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 45. The Prophecy
The Throne Room was very different at night. The waterfall was still there, beautiful and untouched, but little blue dots glowing like fireflies swirled like petals in the wind.A few butterflies whose wings were very reminiscent of those of the King himself are also circling the trees present. The flowers, fruits and leaves glow surreal.Sam and Julian are standing before the throne, waiting patiently for Solis to finish examining the landscape itself. The monarch's skin was also unusually bright.The guards take their positions, keeping their facial expressions neutral, but it is clear that they are curious about that last-minute summons.Solis finally looks at them. His previously calm and even somewhat arrogant expression is now rigid, serious."Do you guys believe in coincidences?"Neither Julian nor Sam answer. Was that a question to be answered? They didn't know.Solis takes two steps toward them, looking thoughtful and even distressed."Do you think things happen because they
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 46. Goodbye
The way to the portal in and out of the fairy world seemed longer than usual.Shandra could no longer feel enchanted or excited about anything around her. Not even the diverse flora or the fairies of various types and sizes could attract her attention. The young woman's mood was quite affected by the latest events.Beside her, Julian and Sam looked no better. Besides the standard expression of pure boredom with a hint of cynicism, there was something different in their eyes. Shandra might be delirious, but she could swear it could be fear, or even fear.At the head of the trio, equally silent and taciturn, was Oberon. He was not walking at a brisk pace like last time. Instead, he seemed more alert and purposely avoided the busiest streets.Shandra took courage and decided to find out for herself the reason for this. Slowly, she approached the white-haired fairy and huffed."SIm?" he asked."I couldn't help but notice that you're less... receptive today."Oberon just shrugged, not unde
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 47. Bloody Battle
The dark fairies were very beautiful, despite their expressions of hate, madness, hunger, and even fear. The women and men were more athletic, and in addition to their protruding fangs, you could see that instead of nails, they had sharp claws of various colors, such as blue and red.Sam immediately stood next to Shandra, but it was obvious that he was panicking. Due to his recent exhaustion, he could not use his powers; not without putting himself at great risk. Julian remained in demonic form; yellow sparks like embers flew around him.Oberon swallowed hard.In the midst of the fairies, one in particular appeared who seemed to be their leader: she wore heavy armor full of archaic symbols, a closed helmet, and dark boots. Her orange hair was loose, going down to her waist, and a terrible voice sounded in the clearing as the figure put her hands on her waist, triumphant."I have found you at last, Oberon," she said in a grave, menacing voice. "I am Vesper, the Lady of the Dark Kingdom

My Boyfriend Is a Demon 106. Time of truth
The final walk along the last trail that would lead them to the Tenebris Mountains was much more tense and silent than Shandra had imagined it would be.Nervous, the girl was paying attention to the vegetation around her; the way the trees and plants looked now that she knew they were all interconnected with Gaia.And speaking of Gaia, the entity's words still rang in her ear constantly. She takes a deep breath as she gropes around in her pocket for the strange artifact she had been given as a gift.Would she need to use it that day?Sam's voice sounded in her mind:"Disturbed?"Shanda looks discreetly at him before answering mentally as well:"Evidently so. Don't you?"His fire-colored eyes, always so confident, were somewhat misty that morning. A few seconds later, he finally replies:"I'm more than disturbed. I'm terrified."The heartfelt answer takes the girl by surprise. He continues:"At some point, Shandra, everything... Everything will come to light. The fact that we are inter
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 105. The Devil's Tears
Shandra was still absorbing the shock of Gaia's strange contact, as well as her sudden disappearance, when a low voice whispers behind her."Shandra."She turns around quickly. Julian is standing with a totally apathetic expression on his face."Did you see it?", she whispers.The redhead nods his head in confirmation."Was it an important errand?"Shandra bites her lip, thoughtful about what to say about Gaia's words. She decides to be subtle and direct:"Yes."Julian waits for the explanation, but the girl just holds the jewel tighter and starts walking back to the camp."Wait a minute."She stops. The demon approaches again and asks:"What's going on? Are you okay?""I am.""You don't know how to lie very well, you know that?"Shandra snorts."I just don't want to talk about it."Julian looks at the girl's closed hand and stares at her as if he is about to question her about it."Please, please, don't ask me questions," she pleads.Genuine anguish takes over his expression."Let me
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 104. Visitor
Shandra knew she was awake.Therefore, what was in front of her could not be a dream. Considering all the stress she had been under in the past weeks, however, she thought she was suffering from a delirium.Everyone else was asleep, except, of course, the demons. Although they felt no sleep, both Sam and Julian liked to lie down, close their eyes and apparently rest. Caleb and Ezan are also immersed in a deep sleep.The girl keeps looking at what at first she thought was just a trick of light and shadow: the thin, unusual silhouette that strolled by as if it were a mere traveler.However, the energy of that silhouette, the way it moved... This was certainly no ordinary person. Then Shandra stood up to take a closer look.The person, creature or whatever it was didn't seem to be intimidated by being noticed. Its skin was transparent, almost ghostly, and a subtle blue light radiated from it.Strangely enough, Shandra did not fear it. No, there was nothing aggressive or strange coming fr
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 103. Conspiration
Shandra feels her heart resounding inside her chest. A small shiver runs down her arms as she slowly takes a step towards the final trail; the one they would make before finally arriving in enemy territory.Everything could end well: Eluna would be rescued, and everyone could return to their respective homes.Or...She imagines the bodies of Sam, Julian, Ezan and Caleb lying on the ground like a sack of potatoes; their throats slit. Was cutting throats an easy method of execution for supernatural creatures?Shandra knew that killing a demon was too difficult a thing to do, so she doubted it very much. Werewolves, on the other hand, seemed weaker in that respect."Let's walk some more and get camp up," says Julian, who until then had been completely silent and immersed in his own thoughts.Shandra nods, trying to push away the dark misfortunes troubling her, but it is incredibly difficult. She knows she cannot let fear take over. Together, the group continues to advance along the narro
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 102. Regret
Shandra knew that she would never, ever be able to fully recover from this.As the small group headed towards the mountain range, the young woman barely opened her mouth to say anything and ate only what was necessary. The magic was dormant, still ready to spring into action, but she deliberately ignored the feeling.Looking up at the pale dawn sky, Shandra huffed audibly. It was very soon before they finally put the plan into action. There was still no word from Marcus and his group.Not that she didn't trust the abilities and strength of the pack. They could take good care of themselves.But would she, Julian, Sam, Caleb and Ezan be able to single-handedly accomplish a mission of that magnitude and not get screwed in the process?"It's going to be okay," Sam's voice breaks into her dark thoughts.Annoyed, the girl looks at him, and mentally communicates as well:"Are you reading my thoughts?""I don't need to. Your expression already says it all."Irritated, Shandra just keeps walki
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 101. Closure
As soon as Caleb's huge sharp teeth dig into Elara's unprotected torso, the vampire screams terribly in agony. The bite causes her a stabbing pain.Elara lets out another scream when, after having her skin torn apart by the wolf, her body is thrown backwards by the impact of this attack... Julian also approaches quickly, taking the opportunity to strike a powerful blow against Elara, hitting her full on.Sam once again looks at Shandra, obviously proud to see what had happened there. Ezan, Caleb and the yellow-eyed demon continue to attack relentlessly; Shandra stays focused on her task of neutralizing the vampire's artifacts. With the items weakened, Elara is no longer invincible, but still poses a danger.Sweating, the young woman realizes that she needs to keep her own energy connected to Elara's items. There was no way, or at least no easy way, to permanently deactivate them.Although she was obviously weaker, Elara was not vulnerable. Even though she is suspicious as to why her t
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 100. Deactivation
Shandra feels a mixture of relief and gratitude when, finally, Julian takes flight and attacks Elara, holding her by the neck and throwing her to the ground sharply."You really think you can take me, you pathetic demon?" she sneers, probably ready to use one of her many artifacts.And that is exactly what she does. One moment, Julian is strangling her without a shadow of mercy. The next, he is breathing hard, gasping like a smoker after climbing two flights of stairs.Sam, focused on destroying the vampire, casts more fire elemental magic energy, but at the last second the girl flinches, causing the flames to only burn the tip of her hair."You bastard!" she shouts, leaving Julian temporarily behind.Shandra quickly raises a shield to protect him, but the wall fails.Ezan's voice sounds behind the girl:"Beacon of Light!"She widens her eyes and addresses the older werewolf. The girl is surprised to see him in human form. Caleb, unlike him, remains as a wolf."Beacon of Light, we are
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 99. Ofensive
Shandra panics as she sees the werewolves advancing towards Elara, ready to attack. She knows that a fight between the werewolves and the vampire can be extremely dangerous and doesn’t want anyone to get hurt. With a mixture of despair and determination, she stands in the way, trying to prevent impending violence."No!" cries Shandra, her voice full of anguish. " Stop! It’s not worth it! Elara is not our enemy!"Useless. Completely useless, you know.The beautiful girl, seeing the two angry wolves coming towards her, drops her cloak, revealing pale skin like the moon and slender, thin and seemingly fragile arms and legs. Immediately Elara puts herself in a fighting posture, smiling as she feels the adrenaline taking over her body.Shandra can barely understand what happened when, out of nowhere, the vampire just disappears.But her energy was still there. Had she become invisible?The impact of a sharp blow to Ezan’s jaw, which makes him fly for a few meters, frightens the girl and gi
My Boyfriend Is a Demon 98. Vampire
Shandra, Sam, Julian and the other members of the group stand on alert, watching for the approaching silhouette. Tension hangs in the air as everyone prepares for any eventuality.As the figure approaches, it becomes clear that it is a tall, elegant woman with long black hair and a piercing gaze. She seems to exude an aura of power and authority."Elara," Sam murmurs, with a mixture of surprise and apprehension in her voice.Shandra frowns from one to the other, wondering what could be happening, but doesn't have time to verbalize a single word.The werewolves transform into their lupine form and start growling loudly and menacingly. Elara doesn't seem to be upset or afraid of that sight."Interesting company you have arranged," are the first words she addresses to the coppery-eyed demon."Is that really serious?", Julian grumbles."Who are you?" asks Shandra.The questioning makes the woman laugh."Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends, Sam?"The prince from hell looks hes
