Crystal's POV:

It was only then did I realize that I was bawling because of extreme concern and distress. I lowered my head in an attempt to hide my emotions. "Strong winds," I quickly said, trying to deny the emotions I was going through. "I'm not crying."

Rufus didn't say anything and just looked at me with a meaningful expression on his handsome face. It made me feel so uneasy and self-conscious, and so I decided to turn into a wolf again. I immediately attacked the python, but this time, I made sure I hit it on its vital part.

Since Rufus had already dealt the huge beast significant damage, it wasn't able to defend itself anymore. It let out a pained hiss, and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

I honestly thought that that was the end of it, but I saw that the monster was still putting up a fight. Its body was still wrapped around Rufus, seemingly unwilling to let go.

Tears just began streaming from of my eyes at the sight. I gnawed on the python's body, hoping it would loosen its grip on Rufus soon. If not, the man I adored the most would really die.

"Crystal, it's okay," Rufus softly said, trying to comfort me as I continued attacking the python. "It can no longer do anything to me. It can't hurt me."

"Okay?!" I repeated, unable to believe what I was hearing. "This monstrosity will crush you to death!" I felt like I didn't have time to even think. I just attacked and attacked the animal.

I noticed that sweat already forming on Rufus' forehead. This monster... was really going to kill him!

From the corner of my vision, I saw a number of soldiers approaching to help. Unfortunately, the python let out another powerful hiss, instantly knocking them to the ground. Worse, blood had already come oozing out of their ears.
