Chapter 116 - Himejima Milf and Daughter. (2/2)
”Ara~, attacking an unarmed helpless woman and a cute little girl, don't you guys know shame?” The man and his minions saw a man crouching behind crying Akeno, who was also looking at him with shock.
The man was wearing a black Yukata with haori and had a black cat with two tails in his hands.
Gently patting Akeno's head, the young dragon said, ”Don't worry, little girl. Your mother is alright.”
Akeno hiccupped and looked towards him, ”Really?”
Wang Lei smiled and looked towards the close-to-death Shuri, who was looking at him with a hopeful expression from the side of her eyes.
Pointing his finger at her, Wang Lei said, <Heal>
Surrounding mana started to gather around Shuri and started to heal her wound at a rapid pace, soon leaving nothing.
Everyone in the shrine seems to be surprised by what they saw as it was truly shocking to them; especially, for the man. He has seen much different healing magic, but this was his first time seeing the magic that could heal a mortal wound in seconds, leaving nothing behind.
”Who are you?” The man asked cautiously while gesturing his lackeys to form a circle around him.
”Hm, me? I am just a passerby who thought of visiting the shrine. But who knew that you guys would be bullying a milf and a lo- ahem! A mother and a child.”
”…” Everyone become silent as they looked at Wang Lei speechlessly. Even Kuro was looking at him with a questioning gaze.
”Mother, what is milf?” Akeno asked her mother, getting over the fact that she is alive and not dead.
Shuri was happy that someone saved them but was speechless when she heard his reasoning.
”Nothing, Akeno. You will know when you grow up.” Shuri said before standing up with Akeno and hiding behind Wang Lei.
Though she did not know who he was, she at least did not feel any ill intent from him towards them. She was a shrine priestess and was quite sėnsɨtɨvė to evil and ill intentions. She could tell that Wang Lei was of a pure heart. He had the purest heart she had ever seen, making her think whether he was a saint or something.
If Wang Lei knew what she was thinking, he would have only smiled. He had control over light and dark, a complete balance. To people, who believed in the light, he would be a saint; and to people, who believed in the dark, he would be a devil.
”Since this matter does not involve you, I advise you to leave. Or don't blame us for killing you, human!” The man threatened him while pressuring him with his aura.
”Ma~, I am scared. What should I do, Kuro? I do not want to die yet.” Wang Lei 'sacredly' said to Kuro, who was looking at him with a deadpan expression.
The man frowned seeing his acting. His eyes become sharp as his killing intent covered the whole shrine, making its inhabitant, except Wang Lei and Kuro, shivered with utter terror and despair.
”If that is your choice, then you can also die with those filths!” He shouted before launching towards him.
A smirk forms on Wang Lei's face as he stood up. His red slit eyes had a black-blue hue in them, shining in the dark as he said.
<Arise>
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped as an enormous aura enveloped the shrine. Everyone saw Wang Lei's shadow deforming and something coming out of it.
The man stopped in his tracks as he felt an enormous presence from his shadow as if it contained the world's most dangerous beings in it.
After what seems like an eternity, a shadow came out of Wang Lei's shadow, forming a silhouette of a man. His blue eyes gazed at the man, making his hair stand all over his body. Terror crawled his skin, making him immobile.
The shadow man gets on his knees in front of smirking Wang Lei as a domineering voice left his mouth, ”Utiss, answers the call of King!”
”Kill them.” All that left Wang Lei's mouth were cold and emotionless words, petrifying everyone present. They could not find even a single emotion in his voice.
Normally, a person would have certain emotions in their voices, like the man who had disgust with killing intent. But they could feel noting from Wang Lei, making them realize that the man in front of them would not mind killing millions or even billions of innocents if they stood in his path.
”Shit! Run!” The man shouted, already at the door of the shrine.
But he stopped when he saw Utiss standing before the entrance of the shrine, ”King's orders. You all need to die.” He said before vanishing from his place.
All it took was even less than a second before the headless bodies of every person fall on the ground, dying the once clear shrine red with blood.
Wang Lei seems to be unfazed by the scene of carnage in front of him, but the same could not be said for the Himejimas. Shuri hides Akeno's face in her bosom while trying hard not to throw out.
”Hm. They were quite weak, no? Kuro.” Rubbing his chin, Wang Lei asked his cat that had her fur standing erect due to the danger she felt from the shadow warrior Utiss.
”Don't worry. He will not hurt you. In fact, if you want, you can play with him.”
”…” Utiss was speechless by his King's words. He was praying to not end up like his predecessor, Hydra aka Orochi.
Hearing him, Kuro seems to calm down but still valiantly looks at Utiss, not letting her guard down.
Looking back at Himejimas, Wang Lei spoke, ”Now, where will you guys go?”
Shuri, who was trembling with fear, calmed herself down before replying, ”We will return back to Himejima Clan.”
”Hm? But they wanted you guys to be killed, no?” the dragon asked confused.
Shuri nodded while still stopping Akeno, who was trying to take a look at her surroundings, ”Well, the person you killed was my uncle, Suou Himejima – the current head of Himejima Clan. I need to meet my niece, Suzaku Himejima. I need to inform her about the death of Suou. As the next Clan Head, she will have enough connections to ensure our safety.” Shuri explained.
Though many hatted her in Himejima Clan, she knew that the safest place was near her niece since other people would probably reject them after knowing her daughters' bloodline.
Wang Lei made a thinking face, contemplating something.
”Well, then let's go and find lodging first as you probably would not want to sleep in this place. Anyway, I am quite free so I will lead you till Himejima Clan.” Wang Lei said.
He was quite free, well, until certain someone came looking for him. He thought of visiting Himejima Clan and make sure nothing bad happens to lo-little Akeno.
Shuri becomes happy hearing it and hurriedly nodded. If she could go with him, then she would not have to care about any potential danger along the way as the shadow warrior seemed quite strong.
”Let's go then.” The dragon said as he left the shrine with Kuro in his hands, and Himejimas following after him.
