NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52: Bait
Chapter 52: Bait
Primordial magic also known as divine veins by demons was a power passed down by the royal demonic bloodline. It was an ancient and mysterious power that could completely suppress ordinary magic and sacred abilities. With different demon races possessing a bloodline power that was vastly unlike the other depending on the purity of the bloodline the intensity of their bloodline power would vary greatly.
For example the power of the trolls royal bloodline mainly centered on strengthening a trolls body and enchanting their physical attacks. The deeper the dark-brown color on their body got the closer the bloodline was to the royal family.
However no matter how thick or thin the bloodline power was all of the royal demonic bloodlines possessed a common influence; A suppression effect that affected commoners or inferior beings. It was exceptionally lethal especially usedagainst humans and knights that still didnt possess a sacred ability. Even if they were up against a demon royalty that possessed just the slightest bit of divine vein a similar fate would just await the knights and commoners alike; They would simply be meat on the chopping board.
For what reason did this land of honey and milk fall onto this pack of squiggling and incomparably weak worms? The moon knights were coarsely panting on their knees clearly incapable of getting themselves up from the ground and yet it only won the apathy of the Fourth Brother. After narrowing its eyes it strolled idly towards them.
This world is just too small. Its resources are too insufficient to provide for the survival of these many species! As creatures battle and the heavens watch on the fittest shall survive while the weakest will be eliminated! The land and resources will be allocated to the strong while the weak and the worms shall lie in a coffin! Its sharp claws cruelly pierced through the back of a knights neck causing the knight to suffocate as blood seeped down his throat. Unable to let out a final mournful cry before his demise he softly collapsed onto the ground.
Bastard!! As they looked on helplessly at their comrade being executed without even any room to resist the knights felt their anger reach their limit. They tried their best to struggle but it was to no avail. The heavy pressure on their body had seemingly anticipated that they would resist; it increased its might in proportion to the amount of effort they displayed.
Your courage is truly commendable. However the fury from a pack of worms is unable to change the objective truth. The troll cruelly drew back the corners of its enormous mouth. While under the enchantment its vein swelled. He then enveloped the two knights heads with his hand curled it into a fist as it lifted them. When a couple of crisp sounds that sounded like the sound of a watermelon bursting rang forth two headless corpses powerlessly fell to the ground.
Crack! After snapping the neck of the last knight it then casually dumped the corpse onto the empty street as if it was a pile of rubbish. The ruthless and cruel lion-like eyes carried traces of ridicule as it looked at the shivering Keer who was currently paralyzed in fear on the ground.
Uhuhu nyaa D-Dont Keer felt completely disheartened as she clung onto the bag with her dear life. She wanted to run away but her body was refusing to hear the summons from her heartfear had already seized her strength away.
Will I be taken back to that place again? Back to that place where daylight didnt exist Where blood and despair were the only things left
It was said that during the times of difficulty and despair there was a common knowledge that applied to everyone; that is one would recall the person that made them feel the most secure. At this moment memories of her parents and other relatives didnt flash past Keers mind; Rather the only person who appeared in her mind was a good-looking young man of ordinary build wearing a cheap T-shirt.
Where are youMr. Ji Bai
Youre pretty capable arent you little kitty? You dare enter a human city while taking advantage of the fact that we werent paying attention?! Heh heh heh I must admit although its good to risk your life do you know the risks that are involved? Oho Although your appearance is indeed quite charming for such a young girl No wonder Second Brother keeps brooding about you! Its large hand that was drenched and dripping with blood lifted Keer by her collar it then pulled her towards it. Its gaze was like a formless large hand as it swept Ke-ers underripe body from top to bottom.
Hahaha! Relax Im actually very gentle when compared to my Second Brother. At the very least I will still treat you like a woman Of course there are my subordinates too. Following the malevolent smile of the Fourth Brother waves of troll soldiers walked out of the shadow all with lewd and vulgar smiles on their faces.
Keer whose entire body was currently lifted by the troll was frightened speechless. Her small white face was ashen-white while her cherry-like eyes that were filled with energy every day were now covered with the color of despair.
Hehe! Theres no need to be afraid. Even though our numbers are quite numerous each and every one of us here are real men we are obviously much better when compared to these useless little human toothpicks you found! You can just rest assured and leave it to us; We will definitely let you ascend to heaven hahaha!
Hehehe After hearing their superiors words the troll foot soldiers began to laugh delightfully as well.The ominous glint in the Fourth Brothers eyes grew bigger; It was preparing to rip off the catgirls clothing in its grasp and execute the sentence it had passed down. Just as it was about to do this its sweeping gaze landed on the gown-like uniform that the knights corpse was wearing. This made it slightly froze as its eyes narrowed into a slit.
Lets not touch her for now. We should find a place tie her up and look after her the Fourth Brother changed the topic and said in a tone filled with solemnity.
Eh? And why is that Fourth Brother? A rather impatient troll foot soldier asked in a puzzled manner.
Do you know which organization hired these humans as their henchmen? The troll looked at the foot soldier in front of it with a meaningful expression.
Uh Im an unrefined troll so I have never seen these strange flags on a robe before. Could they belong to a chivalric organization? The troll foot soldier scratched the back of its head as it asked in a somewhat puzzled manner.
Thats right. Its a chivalric order A completely undocumented one at that if the war chief didnt miscalculate then behind this chivalric order lies our biggest enemy the troll explained in a heavy tone.
I didnt think that they would also spread themselves to this border town too This cat is pretty capable I didnt think shed actually ingratiate herself with this chivalric order. They could very well be the last obstacle in our attack of this city As it shot a glance at Keer with her head downcast the Fourth Brother wrinkled its eyebrows which relaxed soon after.
However the heavens had truly lent us a hand by allowing us to catch this cat! The more she ingratiates herself to the order the better! We will use her as bait to lure and reduce the military strength of the Order causing the pressure that Big Brother will face in his area to largely decrease. As long as there is still a possibility for us to come out victorious in this battle for the border town we must do so! The troll drew back the corners of its mouth as it revealed a smile of excitement.
But would the Chivalric Order really mobilize a large portion of troops just to save this tiny Asiatic cat? The troll foot soldier asked doubtfully.
They will. Those soft-hearted people will definitely do it. No matter how weak or worthless a creature is they will rescue them the Fourth Brother confident voice affirmed the question.
.
Oh my god the decrepit waist of this old Taoist I have finally made it. I hope this poor Taoist reached here on time yes? While dressed up in a manner reminiscent of a wuxia novel the guy that possessed a long ponytail Pian Zi said this as he gasped for air. He was currently caressing his waist with one hand while holding onto the wall with another.
No one responded to him. Lin was lying against a car and expressionlessly looking up at the moonlight while the tall and massive body of Huo Lei was leaning against a wall with puckered eyebrows and closed eyes. With an indiscernible worry visible on his face Ji Bai sat on the ground and left his long sword standing. Unwilling to approach him one bit Lil Sha had hidden far away from Ji Bai. As for the only person that wasnt on the street Lin Tuo was quietly sitting inside the car with an exceptionally tranquil complexion on his face. Judging from his tapping fingers it was evident that he was seemingly waiting for something.
Erm As he felt himself being graciously disregarded again Pian Zi suddenly felt a burst of embarrassment.
