Bound and Broken: An Isekai Adventure Dark Fantasy (Melas Book 1) V.A. Lewis (feel good books to read .TXT) 📖

Everywhere the Cat Beastkin went, limbs went flying. She left a trail of blood and gore behind her, as she slaughtered the guards around her. She dodged the glowing blue bullets as they flew past her.

A large red bolt of energy came flying at her, and she took a step back. But the bolt was not meant for her.

The red ball of energy exploded at the ground before the young woman, sending her stumbling backwards. A man with a sword ran at her as she picked herself off the ground, only to find a sword sticking out the back of his head. The man collapsed to the ground, and Shang drew his sword back.

The Dog Beastkin nodded at his companion, and immediately was assaulted by two guards from the side. He grabbed a spear mid-thrust by its handle, snapping it in two with one hand. He elbowed the spearman, and parried the sword swing from the other man.

Shang redirected his blade from the parry, decapitating the spearman in an instant. The swordsman stepped back, but Shang charged at him, clashing blades.

The Dog Beastkin stuck out two fingers, and poked the man in the eyes. The man dropped his sword, clasping at his eyes in pain, when Shang ran him through his chest.

Rin watched this happen, and picked herself up. She cupped her hands around her mouth, taking a deep breath. "Hey Shang!" she yelled through all the fighting.

The Dog Beastkin’s ears perked at the sound. He turned to Rin, fighting four other guards coming at him as he shouted back.

"What? Can’t you see I’m a little busy?!"

"I know!" the Cat Beastkin said, rolled her eyes. She quickly ducked under a stray bullet, and stood back up. "I’m not an idiot. I can see that!" She shook a fist in the air.

"If you noticed, then hurry up"— Shang kicked a man onto another, and impaled the third— "and tell me what you want!"

"Ok! So there’s this really annoying guy with red hair, and I’m going to kill him. So I’ll leave you alone m’kay?"

"Yes! Go for it!"

"Nn, thanks!" The Cat Beastkin’s lips curled into a smile. She turned her head to the battlefield, scanning for Marcus. "Found you," she whispered to herself.

Across the warehouse, the head guard of the Mancis Company was escorting Julian out of the large entrance of the room. A small retinue of guards accompanied the two, heading for a car in the distance.

The Cat Beastkin began barreling her way towards the two. She covered half the distance in an instant, cutting down anyone in her way. But that attracted attention to her.

Marcus noticed Rin’s quick advance, and loosed another shot at her. It once again blew up on the ground before her, staggering the Cat Beastkin for others to attack her.

Rin could make no headway; every time she got a little closer, the head guard would slow her down, giving him the reprieve to further the distance again.

I watched helplessly from behind a wooden crate as the game of cat and mouse went on without end; Julian and Marcus were going to escape, and I could do nothing as they did.

No. I can do something! A realization crossed my mind, and I unclenched a fist I did not know I was making; I shifted my focus away from the Cat Beastkin, scanning the battlefield instead.

I looked around the large room, seeing death everywhere. I did my best to ignore a Cat Beastkin getting gunned down as he charged a group of guards with guns; to ignore a Dog Beast ruthlessly rip off the head of a guard with her fangs, baring her bloodied teeth at other guards coming at her; to ignore a Human slave bloodily wrestling with a guard on the ground, smashing each other’s heads on concrete and at each other.

My gaze swept across the room, and I saw Shang slash a guard across the chest. He sidestepped a man charging at him with a spear, and kicked him to the ground.

The Dog Beastkin was about to finish off the downed man, when a spray of bullets interrupted him. A guard holding a rifle unloaded shot after shot at Shang, who deflected each bolt.

Shang slowly made his way to the rifler, blocking and dodging the bolt of energy that came every second. Shang just came in range of the rifler, when someone grabbed him from behind.

It was the spearman from before.

He jumped on the back of the standing Dog Beastkin, wrapping his arms around his neck. They grappled for a second, with Shang trying to pull the man off his back.

The rifler saw his chance, and shot at Shang’s head. I watched my friend’s head snap back as the bullet came for his head. My heart dropped. But Shang just grinned.

The Dog Beastkin’s head slowly turned to the rifler, a savage grin spread across his face. He bared his fangs at the man. It was sizzling. Residual smoke was coming out from in between his canines.

The rifler panicked when he saw the Dog Beastkin standing and smiling at him. He fired more bullets, to which Shang simply turned his back to.

The blue bolts impacted the man grappling at Shang’s back, killing him and dropping him to the ground. With him gone, Shang dashed forward, closing the remaining distance between him and the rifler.

The rifler tried to step back, but he was too slow. Shang swung his sword up vertically, slicing both the man and his rifle in two. Blood splattered everywhere, and a pistol skidded across the floor at me.

I had to stop myself from gagging, but I quickly picked up the weapon and continued my search. Where are you? I paused briefly at Feri, who was taking
