Chapter 188:
Butcher Demon
âWha-wha-whatâs happenedâ¦â¦â
Tiriel is horrified.
Lydia, who had rushed to the scene, was also standing next to her, her face pale with fear.
Only Arshella was smiling, showing her fangs. She crossed her arms and looked satisfied.
ââLong ago, when I was a child, I saw Ferris beat Cerberus to death with her bare hands.â
ââ¦â¦ nneeeehhh!?â
âIt happened when I was a kid, That time we were playing in the forest with Macomo tagging along. Apparently, there was a stampede in a dungeon near that forest. Taken by surprise, Macomo lagged behind. Eventually, we were cornered by Cerberus, then she snapped like she is now and killed the Cerberus, ripped all the heads off.â
âAre you kiddingâ¦.â
Tiriel looked at Ferris with shock.
She was in disbelief, but then she looked at the scene before her and was unable to refute it.
Ferrisâs chestnut hair had turned white, her beastly eyes glowed the color of blood red, and her tail was increasing in number. There are several golden spirituals fire floating around her.
âIt is easy to forget because of her mannerisms, but she is a direct descendant of the , which originated from the ancient time. A superior race even compared to the Makomo. They are the thoroughbreds for battle, on par with Exmut. Genetically, they are very physically strong.â
âHmmmâ¦â¦â¦ yes, thatâs rightâ¦â¦â¦â
âAlthough she has no offensive skills from birth, she has been trained by Phoenicia. If she fights with self-empowerment enchantment, then she has more than enough potential. She has a violent nature due to her race to begin with, and she is also quite unrestrained when it comes to her âother side.â â
Lydia and the other three had always been overprotective of Ferris. They had seen her getting teased from an early age for not having offensive skills. And she was always felt bad about it.
However, Arshella, who knew of Ferrisâs hidden strength, stopped spoiling her when she went on to higher grades.
The reason Ferris is so modest and reserved is that she is cherished too much by those around her. The three of us are responsible for that. Thatâs why I was against taking the butcher with her. Relying on him would also make her feel weak.
So we mistreated them and try to push him away, but thanks to that, Gevaudan misunderstood and got us into a lot of trouble.
âYou little brat!!!â
Behind the dissipating smoke. On top of the rubble, Yufan was standing up.
With blue veins on her temples and dark bloodshot eyes, she is holding the blue dragon sword in her hand.
The female vampire, who has been trampled, also melts into the shadows and escapes from the soles of Ferrisâs shoes, standing at a distance. She glares at Ferris, her face covered in blood, but her eyes are lit with chilling murderous intent.
However, In the face of the onrushing murderous intent, Ferris stands tall. Not only does she not take a step back, she even takes a step forward.
After seeing that, Arshella nodded her head, uncrossed her arms, and stepped forward, shifting her shoulders.
âAlright thatâs enough, letâs join in you two.â
I havenât been in a fight in a long time. Iâm so excited!
Lydia was doing a swift stance, making her shoes squeak as she stepped on the cobblestone pavement. Her seemingly slender body also possessed the unique power of the demon race. She has enough physical strength to draw the mighty bow .
âEhhh, me too!? But now my other eye is â¦â¦.â
Tiriel stood up tentatively.
Unfortunately, her physical strength is not that strong.
If you want to best me, you have to be a man who can force me down. Having said that, she never wanted to participate in the catfight between women who are training all year.
âWe have no offensive skills and no weapons, itâs going to get ugly.â
Arshella cracked her knuckles and neck with a snapping sound. A predatorâs smile appears on her face.
âThat Jiangshi woman has monstrous strength. Her body is dead anyway. Iâll use her in Gevaudan place, as a practice dummy for the physical skills Iâve been training latelyâ¦â¦. Iâll hold her back, Lydia, go beat up that female vampire. Tiriel, cast enchantment and stand back.
âOkay ⦠got it!â
Tiriel breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back, her cane at the ready.
Thenâ¦
âBumoo! Nuuhahahahahaha!â
âKaa, kakakakakakakaka â
âfufuâ¦â¦.â
Dupont, Papameyan, and Nodens, who had been watching, burst out laughing at the same time.
âGood one, Ferris! One more!â
Dupont pumped his fist in the air and shouted with a big smile on his face.
âWasnât that good punch, Chario!?â
Papameyan tapped Chario on the shoulder, and she nodded back vigorously.
âYes. It was a clean straight punch with a good hip move. But the most wonderful part for me was her kick that she released by changing her feet without killing the momentum of her twisting body. it was so natural.â
âIndeed! So this is the bloodline of the Great Yokai!! Surely a worthy recruits target!â
âYufanâ¦â¦â Nordens raised his eyebrows âYou not even guard it in time.â
âUgh, shut up! That was a surprise attack!â
âIf it had been on the battlefield, you would have been sent back to your grave without time to complain. Put away the weapon in your hand for now. Youâre in town. If not, Orlando will give you a good beating later.â
With that, the place suddenly became lively again.
The crowd was suddenly excited, and the people around them were chatting and yelling, Likely to place a bet.
All of the parties involved who had been swept up in the atmosphere are now sighed in unison, discouraged from fighting.
ââ¦â¦You remember, little fox.â
âNext time I hear you say something funny, Iâll bury you back under the grave and turn you into a dog pissing hole.â
After exchanging fiery gazes, Yufan gave a small snort and then turned on her heel.
âNodens! Hurry up and go to Orlandoâs place!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYeah, Iâll take the sausages first. Dupont, Send the bill to the inn. Papameyan, weâre going frist.â
With these words, Nodens had the female vampire carry the bundle of blood sausages and left Minosland with Yufan.
ââMoooooooo! Thatâs really got on my nerve!!!â
Ferris made a fist and shouted with her adorable voice into the winter sky.
âLydia!â
âHuh? âha, yes!â
âIâm going to Jibodanâs place!â
âYeah! â¦â¦ Eh!?â
Lydiaâs cheeks were tightened and she looked up.
âHey, but Lydia is under house arrest.â
Dupont chides her, but Ferris doesnât listen.
âIâm not breaking my house arrest. Because Iâm getting kidnapped.â
âBumoâ
âKakakakakakkak! If the prodigy of the Nine-Tailed insists, How can Lilithâs favored daughter can ever resist.â
âMr. Papameyan!â
âHmm?â
Ferris steps up to him, grabbing him and continuing.
âI need your help with something!â
âOh, you want a favor from me? I would normally charge an exorbitant price, but itâs an investment for you in the future owe me thenâ¦â
âNo donât, donât do it,â said Dupont, waving his hand in front of his face.
âYouâre going to get yourself in trouble if you get involved with these rascalsâ
âHohoho! If I refuse after being disrespected this much, I would rather weep for the name of Highland Zephyr! Say your request, heir of the most beautiful fox in the land!â
âAnd Mr. Dupont too!â
âOh? Me too??â
Ferris began to talk with a lively voice.
Watching this scene, Arshella was a little disappointed that she couldnât go on a rampage, but she let out a sigh of relief.
ââShe finally detonates and lets out the highest level of stress in her life. All thanks to that Jiangshi woman.â
Then Tiriel added.
âThen how about send her a thank-you note like âthank you for making Ferris let it all out, You made us all laugh, and it cheered her upâ oh, and maybe send her some snacks too.â
âThatâs a no no, Tirielâ
Arshella looked at her with half-opened eyes.
âIt wonât only make her embarrassedâ¦â¦ but itâll also get on that Jiangshi womanâs nerves. Donât do it.â
âOh, no good?â
âItâs stirring up the pot. Itâs almost like a declaration of war. And the next time we meet, weâre going to fight for sure if we send that. Although youâre really smart, sometimes youâre really clumsy â¦â¦.â
Arshella had already grasped Tirielâs somewhat screw-loose traits.
âIs that so?â Tiriel mumbled and tilted her head.
âIs there anyone in this world who get angry when they get sweets?
Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks and stared into the air with a stern look in her eyes.
âNnâ¦â¦ nnnnnnnn!?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Arshella was a little taken back by Tirielâs strange behavior.
âI think I just overheard something amazingâ¦â¦.â
The two of them looked at each other, blinking their eyes.
On the other side, Papameyan, who was listening to Ferrisâs conversation, look at the sun on the horizon.
âHmmmâ¦â¦â¦ I would like to hear more about it, but I have to get to Orlando soon. I will hear the rest of the story when I get back.â
âAre you seriously going to help me?â
âOf course. Of course. This is very interesting.â
Valkyrie only furrowed her brow, but then she raises an important question.
ââ So â¦. Who is this Jibodan?â
When he was asked about the crucial point, Dupont just shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything.
