The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 79: Found Her

Then seize the flaw and deliver a fatal blow.

The hyena must be starving to madness, its eyes blood-red.

After catching the scent of a living person, it nearly lost all reason.

Just as she steadied herself, it lunged at her with astonishing speed, its limbs propelling off the ground.

Seraphina Caldwell was ready!

She silently chanted the rhythm in her mind, and just as it pounced, she sharply twisted her body, evading the head-on assault.

At the same time, her right hand swung the knife, and with a swift flash of the blade, it sliced viciously across its hind leg!

"Awoo—"

The hyena let out a harrowing, wretched scream.

Its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt as it tumbled onto the ground.

The flesh on its hind leg was split open in a deep gash, with blood gushing out.

But it didn’t retreat, struggling to get back up.

It let out deep growls, its eyes gleaming even more menacingly.

She held her breath, her gaze steady, waiting for the chance.

In the instant it struggled to stand, she swiftly moved behind it.

Her left hand lowered her center of gravity, the right holding the knife, flipping her wrist as the tip of the blade thrust forward.

"Puff!"

The blade pierced its neck with precision, straight through to the heart.

Her strength wasn’t quite equal to that of a grown man.

But she had the sharpness of her blade, her movements swift.

Plus, the hyena was already injured, dulled in reaction.

This strike aimed straight at the heart, blood spattering out.

The hyena’s limbs twitched violently twice, its pupils quickly dilating, its mouth opening slightly, before it finally went completely still.

Seraphina Caldwell quickly withdrew the knife, the blade trailing a string of blood droplets.

She plopped to the ground, her back against the tree trunk, gasping for air.

The wound on her back had been completely pulled open by that move.

The flesh was twisted, stinging hotly with pain, making her draw cold breaths.

The blister on her palm had long since burst.

She was about to reach into the space to fetch some Spiritual Spring Water to apply to her wound and ease the pain.

Suddenly, a chaotic rustling came from the bushes behind her.

This time, the sound was much louder than before!

Not just one, but several were trampling the branches and leaves at the same time.

Seven or eight hyenas leapt out from the surrounding bushes, their fur gray-brown, eyes fierce, mouths dribbling saliva, encircling her.

Each one was even more robust than the one before.

Seraphina Caldwell’s heart sank instantly.

Dealing with that one hyena had nearly drained all her strength, and she barely escaped.

Now so many had come at once, densely surrounding her.

Let alone fight, she didn’t even have the strength to stand, much less run.

She gritted her teeth, trying to prop herself up, her trembling hands pressing against the cold, coarse ground.

Just as she put effort on her knees, they suddenly buckled, sending her collapsing back down heavily.

In the instant she struggled, two hyenas pounced simultaneously.

Their sharp claws glinted coldly under the moonlight.

Just inches away from her shoulder, their foul breath practically sprayed onto her face.

She stared intently at the row of yellowed fangs, her mind bursting with a "buzz," her heartbeat stalling.

This time... it was really over.

But the expected rip of pain didn’t arrive.

Instead, she heard eerily harrowing screams.

Then came the sound of two heavy bodies slamming into the ground.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils constricting sharply.

A massive black-maned lion stood solidly before her.

Its mane ruffled wildly in the night wind.

One of its forepaws pinned down the hyena that had just lunged, its claws deeply embedded in its spine, blood gushing out.

In its jaws, it held the neck of the second hyena. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The creature’s limbs twitched madly, eyes rolling white, kicking just twice before going completely still.

"Gideon!"

Seraphina Caldwell’s eyes brightened, tears almost spilling out.

It was Gideon Larkin’s beast form!

She recognized it in an instant!

That distinct black mane, those ice-blue eyes, and that familiar scent down to the bone!

Gideon Larkin heard her call, glancing at her slightly, letting out a low growl.

Immediately, he released the corpse from his jaws, his gaze stern as he scanned the remaining enemies.

The next moment, he leaped mightily, his massive form hurtling toward the encircling hyenas.

Seeing their companions slain in the blink of an eye, the other hyenas were already in terror.

Now witnessing the lion’s proactive assault, they became even more ferocious, baring their teeth, attempting to use their numbers to overwhelm him.

However, even in a circle, with bared fangs, not one dared to advance a single step truly.

"Don’t be afraid, just wait a bit! I’ll handle these beasts right now!"

Before the words were finished, he charged like a gale at the nearest hyena.

A paw swiped down with a crisp "crack."

The hyena’s spine fractured before it could even yelp.

The remaining hyenas were utterly terrified, turning to flee.

Would Gideon Larkin let them go?

He roared furiously, leaping up to clamp down precisely on one’s hind leg, muscles bulging as he swung fiercely.

"Bang!"

The hyena was flung heavily against the tree trunk beside it.

Its head struck violently against the sturdy branch, flipping its eyes white on the spot.

Within minutes, all the hyenas surrounding Seraphina Caldwell lay defeated.

Gideon Larkin shook his head, dripping black hair swaying with the motion.

In a blink, the savage glint faded from those scarlet eyes, and his form began to twist and change.

Flesh rippled, bones reformed.

Moments later, he was back in human form, wearing tattered but barely concealing cloth garments, walking toward her.

The ferocity on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by an unconcealable heartache.

The eyes that once made all beasts tremble now brimmed with worry, fixed tightly on Seraphina Caldwell.

Seraphina Caldwell finally came to, her heart still pounding.

Her entire body was weak, collapsing onto the cold rock, her limbs trembling uncontrollably.

Her palms burned, her knees also oozing blood.

Yet, she was numb to the pain, feeling as though she were floating.

The scenes from earlier kept flashing before her eyes.

Gideon Larkin squatted before her, kneeling cautiously to meet her eyes.

His gaze swept over her body inch by inch, immediately spotting the layer of burst blisters in her palm.

The wound on her knee was seeping blood, mixed with dirt and grit, grim and terrifying.

And on her back were several deep scratches.

His heart squeezed suddenly, almost robbing him of breath.

"Are you... are you okay? Does it hurt? I should have run faster... I... I should have arrived right away..."

All the pent-up emotions suddenly broke loose.

Her tears could no longer be controlled, streaming down her face.

She couldn’t hold back anymore, sobbing aloud.

"It hurts... it really hurts... I thought I was going to die here... with no one to save me..."

Gideon Larkin stood there awkwardly, wanting to wipe her tears but afraid of hurting her further.

He could only stand there, his voice trembling, soothing her repeatedly.

"It doesn’t hurt anymore, doesn’t hurt... I’ve wiped out those beasts, not a single one left, no one can hurt you! I swear! I’ll take you back right away, find Evan Orwell to treat your wounds, alright? He knows healing, the medicine is very effective..."

"Go back?"

Seraphina Caldwell sniffled, raising her eyes to him, her eyes red as if they might bleed.
