I Became the Villainess, But My Beast Husbands Can Hear My Mind?! Chapter 277: Between Fire and Compassion (1)

Another arrow shot out from Roxanna’s bow, forcing two eagle beastn to quickly dodge away from Cyrus. The thick smoke burning in the air made her eyes sting painfully, but she refused to stop aiming.

Then, for a brief mont, Cyrus slowed down and Roxanna noticed it imdiately.

"Please..." Her voice trembled this ti, sounding weak and close to breaking apart. "Please... don’t go."

"Roxanna!" Azul’s voice suddenly echoed from afar.

He tried to run toward her, but flas surrounded the area between them, making it difficult for him to move forward.

"Roxanna, be careful!" he shouted anxiously.

Azul clicked his tongue in frustration and desperately wished Luan were closer to her instead. But the mont he turned his head, he saw Luan already fighting several eagle beastn nearby.

"I thought you were over there!" Azul shouted at him.

Luan glanced toward Azul in the middle of the battle. The second he realized Roxanna wasn’t anywhere near Azul, his expression instantly darkened.

"And I thought you were supposed to protect our wife!" Luan snapped angrily.

He imdiately moved even faster, slicing through the eagle beastn surrounding him.

"Damn it!" he cursed harshly. "Why do they keep coming?!"

Honestly, he was right. The eagle beastn truly felt endless.

Their ho in the rocky mountains had already been destroyed, yet sohow, their numbers still hadn’t decreased much at all. Or maybe they had abandoned their settlent long before the demon beasts destroyed it.

"Azul, can you see Roxanna?!" Luan shouted again.

Azul shook his head quickly. "I can’t! The fire is too big!"

Luan was about to yell at him to run through the flas anyway, but then he suddenly rembered that Azul was a fish beastman and then decided to swallow his words.

"Switch positions with !" Luan finally shouted instead.

Without wasting another second, Azul rushed toward him and swung his spear at the eagle beastn nearby.

"Find her," Azul whispered as they passed each other.

Luan gave a short nod before imdiately running away from the flas, only to charge straight toward them again.

When he was only a few ters away, he suddenly jumped high into the air and landed on the other side of the burning fire.

"Roxanna!" Luan shouted the mont his feet hit the ground.

His erald eyes instantly found her standing in the middle of the chaos, still firing arrows into the sky even though blood was already running down her hands.

"Cyrus..." Roxanna turned toward Luan with tears in her eyes. "Cyrus won’t listen to ." Her voice shook badly. "He... he wants to leave ."

Luan imdiately looked up toward the sky. Above them, Cyrus continued flying in circles while the eagle beastn chased after him from every direction, trying to catch him.

"Roxanna..." Luan spoke gently, trying to calm her panic. "He doesn’t look like he wants to leave."

Roxanna quickly looked at him.

"It feels more like..." Luan narrowed his eyes at the sky. "He’s trying to do sothing."

Roxanna slowly stopped shooting her arrows and squinted upward, trying her best to understand what Cyrus was doing.

"Then what is he trying to do?" she asked helplessly. "He even apologized to earlier."

"I don’t know yet," Luan admitted honestly. Then his expression beca serious again. "But Roxanna, the fire is getting worse. You need to leave this place now."

Luan stepped closer, clearly planning to carry her away himself if necessary. But the mont he reached for her, Roxanna imdiately pulled herself away.

"But Cyrus..." she cried out. "We can’t just leave him behind!"

"He’s flying high in the sky," Luan quickly replied. "No matter where we go, we’ll still be able to see him."

[He’s right...] Roxanna thought to herself. [No matter where I go, I’ll still be able to see Cyrus, but still...]

"Roxanna!" Luan suddenly grabbed both of her shoulders firmly.

"Wake up!" he shouted loudly, trying to force her back to her senses before the situation beca even more dangerous.

"I don’t want anything bad to happen to Cyrus either, but that doesn’t an you can ignore your own safety!"

Luan’s voice sounded sharp and desperate at the sa ti.

"You’re the leader of the Vixeria Tribe," he continued, gripping her shoulders tightly. "And you’re also carrying our child. If sothing happens to you, the consequences will be terrible."

Those words instantly pulled Roxanna back to reality.

She didn’t want anything bad to happen to any of her husbands, but if she died too, this tribe would lose too much.

They would lose their leader, their healer, and the future child still growing inside her womb.

"L-Let’s... let’s leave this place," Roxanna finally whispered, her voice trembling badly.

Luan imdiately let out a relieved sigh. "Alri—"

BOOM!

A terrifying explosion suddenly erupted only a few ters away from them.

Dirt and broken stones flew everywhere, but that wasn’t the worst part. The flas bursting out from beneath the ground were far more horrifying.

The fire rushed toward them at terrifying speed, and without even thinking, Roxanna shoved Luan away from the flas.

At that mont, only one thought filled her mind. [I’ll survive... but Luan won’t.]

After all, she believed her healing ability would still be able to regenerate her burned wounds.

She would probably lose consciousness for days because her body would need to heal itself while also supporting the child inside her womb, but in the end, she would survive.

"ROXANNA!" Luan scread in panic.

High above the battlefield, Cyrus instantly lowered his head after hearing the explosion. His sharp eyes imdiately locked onto the flas that had swallowed Roxanna.

"AZUL, WE NEED WATER!" Luan roared loudly, hoping Azul could hear him over the chaos.

But even Azul was struggling badly.

The paths leading toward the water had already been blocked by fire, while eagle beastn kept attacking him from every direction to stop him from moving forward.

Luan felt like his heart was about to burst from fear. "Oh, fuck this!"

Without caring anymore, he prepared to charge straight through the flas himself just to pull Roxanna back out.

But then—BOOM!

Another explosion burst from the ground.

This one wasn’t as large as before, but the force of the blast pushed part of the fire aside for a brief mont, allowing Luan to finally see Roxanna clearly.

"Roxan—"

The rest of his words instantly got stuck in his throat. His eyes widened in complete shock as he stared at her.

"How..." he whispered shakily. "How is this even possible?"
