Chapter 53

The Transmigration Survival Guide Volume 2 Chapter 53

“Mr. Lin, is it? It sure is strange to see you here. You are always showing up in all sorts of odd places, no?” jeered a knight.

The chapel’s soldiers had me totally surrounded. The soldiers led dogs on leashes. The mastiffs that were half the height of human being were eager to leap at me and shred me. Every troop was holding a torch. They had the area around me lit up as bright as daytime. The weapons dangling their waist reflected the flames. The sounds of horse hooves in the forest were audible all around me.

By the looks of it, they were afraid I’d flee.

I looked at the chief, who wore a smirk and spoke in a chiding tone, and responded, “Or rather, you’re the ones who keep showing up in all sorts of odd places. Lord Veirya is the lord of this region. I can be wherever I please. I’m on a night jog; does the law forbid me or something?”

“Yeah, yeah, see your foot? It looks as though something bit you while you were on your run, huh? You have anything else that you would like to say? Hand over the flavouring, and we will pretend nothing ever happened; what do you think? I think it is a decent suggestion.”

I grinned: “Are you even speaking my language? I can’t make any sense of what you’re saying? A what flavour what flavouring? I don’t get it. I told you that I came here to exercise. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“So you plan to continue playing the fool even when your family is in danger? Shall we remind you that if I was raising a succubus, then I would do my best to prevent others from finding out? If the townsfolk found out that there was a succubus amongst them, how would they react, I wonder?”

“What do you plan to do to a child?! Don’t bring children into this!! I’m warning you! I’m warning you! If anything happens to Leah, I’ll fuck your chapel up!!”

When one is alone and powerless, even all of their rage will appear weak and harmless. I did my best to yell in his face, but it was pitiful compared to the sound of their blades and the dogs’ barking. I desperately stayed on my feet and belted in his face. I was genuinely scared. It was the first time I felt so scared. I wasn’t afraid of dying; I was scared, because the secret I wanted to protect was revealed.

I couldn’t believe the chapel knew Leah was a succubus. Logically, nobody should’ve knowm the secret. Nobody should.

“How does the chapel know that Leah is a succubus? Have they captured her? There’s only one possibility, which is that Leah has been captured,” I reasoned.

“Hahahaha!!” The chief in front of me condescendingly laughed. He aggressively grabbed me by my collar and lifted me up. He then looked at my face with an arrogant look. He spoke in an emotionless and cold tone: “Do you think that you will live to see another day?”

Before I could reply, I suddenly heard a string of screams in the forest. The chief and I simultaneously looked in the direction of the fiasco. The wandering cavalry in the forest were screaming one after the other as they hit the ground. The initially haughty mastiffs dropped to the ground and quaked in fear. Regardless of how hard their masters tried to pull them to their feet, they couldn’t stand.

I surveyed in the forest feeling startled. A flash of white light sped through the forest comparably to a lightning bolt. Wherever the lightning bolt went, blood spilt. My nose was soon stifled by the scent of blood that filled the air. Droplets of blood dripped off the emerald green grass. Some of the blood belonged to humans, while others belonged to their horses.

And then, I, personally, witnessed the man in front of me, who was acting arrogant and lifted me up, fly out of view. Yes, he flew straight out of view. The white lightning bolt smashed straight into the man before me without any prior warnings. Veirya packed a massive punch. With one kick, she catapulted him up into the air. He flew through the air in a weird posture. If you ask me, he looked as if he was bent backwards. His spinal column was probably crushed. He was sent up into a tree. Then, he gradually slid down and never budged again.

Blood dripped off Veirya’s white cape. Her face was stained with blood. She didn’t turn around to look at me; instead, she gave me her back, which looked strong and awe-inspiring. She didn’t speak. She chased down the troops who fled with their tails between their legs. Veirya moved extremely quickly. She didn’t give them any chances. When she struck, a corpse was added to the collection.

Torches dropped to the ground one after another. The holders were reduced to piles of blood. The rowdy forest soon fell quiet. Veirya stood alone among the blood. Dismembered corpses and body parts were scattered all over the place with blood pouring, flowing, dripping and spitting down the dark brown tree trunks. The air was essentially wet blood, making it seem as if I was breathing in thick blood. It was as though all of humanity’s blood had been condensed in the air.

Veirya stood in place. She seemed to be relishing the feeling of killing the sons of bitches. She certainly lived up to her title as the human who slew the Demon King. Nobody could survive against her might. Those humans didn’t even have the chance to retaliate against her. They were butchered without even having the chance to react.

Sticky blood ran down ran Veirya’s clothes. The white lightning bolt turned into a blood-red demon. Her beautiful face had blood coursing down it. I finally learnt why others feared her. Even allies would be terrified to see a demon covered in blood walking over to them. I didn’t have the opportunity to be scared, though. I desperately crawled over to Veirya.

Veirya grabbed my arm and seriously looked at me with her blue eyes: “Hurt?”

I thundered, “Leah… Leah… Veirya, what will Leah do if you’re here?!”

She hesitated for a moment then looked at me feeling flabbergasted: “You’re. In more danger, aren’t you? Leah is fine at home. She’s safe.”

“H-How does the chapel know that she’s a demon, then? If Leah hasn’t been captured by the chapel, then how did they find out that she’s a succubus?!”

“I don’t know.”

Veirya calmly shook her head. She had no intention of saying anything else. She pulled me by my arm, and then scooped me up. She carried me in an eloquent and mesmerising princess carry position. Veirya held her sword in her left hand and held me with her right hand. She seriously said, “Hold my neck. I’ll. Take you back.”

“Mm, thank you, Veirya. Thank you…”

I curled up in Veirya’s arms. I was supposed to be the one in her position, yet she was carrying me. I could see the side of her pretty face if I looked up, which made me feel shy and flustered. My foot still hurt, but my heart was racing due to pain…
