Chapter 118: Painful (1/2)

”Roar!”

A deafening roar sounded and a man appeared in front of Cecilia and deflected the attack with a clunk sound. Cecilia looked at the man in front of her and then at the beast that had appeared in the gallery out of nowhere and then closed her eyes and lost her consciousness. The previous attack was already life-threatening for her and she was holding herself by just a thread. As soon as she saw that the help had arrived she lost her consciousness.

”Who are you?” the vampire demanded. ”How dare you interfere in our matter. Do you know the consequences of interfering in our matter?”

No one replied. Kadyn looked at the blood-covered unconscious body of Nefia and Cecilia and his blood bubbled with fury. ”Kill him.” He commanded.

As soon as he said he jumped down off the beast and dashed towards Nefia while Khrom and Hot Rod rode the beast and attacked the vampire. He was just Rank 1. It didn't take long before he was sliced in two by Barret's sharp slash of a sword. Blood painted the floor and guts littered the ground as the disgusting stench wafted the entire place. Everyone's expression twisted in disgust.

”Now, what?” Khrom asked.

”Now, you need to get into the shop and take these two girls with you.” Kadyn sighed in relief when he realised that Nefia was still alive. She would be alright after some treatment.

”What about you?” Barret frowned when he heard Kadyn. He could tell from his tone that he had no intention of going with them.

”Don't worry, I can escape on my own,” Kadyn replied with a smile. Then flicked his hand and a gate appeared in front of them. ”Get inside. It will lead you to the shop.”

”This?” the trio widened their eyes when they saw the gate. It was hard to comprehend from where this gate appeared, but then they exchanged glances and shook their heads — if it was Kadyn's doing, then nothing was too shocking.

”This gate will take you to the shop. Now get inside, Nefia and Cecilia are severely injured. Take them to Elora to heal,” he said as he looked around him vigilantly.

”If it is that easy to escape then why don't you come with us?” Barret insisted. He didn't want to leave him behind. After spending a few days with him he became quite close to Kadyn. It would be heartbreaking if he died here.

”Didn't I tell you that I have my reason to stay here?” finally Kadyn couldn't take any longer and frowned in displeasure. ”You need to go, hurry.”

”Alright, we will go first, then,” Barret sighed and shook his head, ”but be careful.”

Then the trio entered the door with two unconscious ladies. Kadyn took a deep breath and looked around him. Actually it wasn't that he didn't want to go with them but he couldn't, as the shop was inside his body. How could he go inside something that was inside him? That was impossible.

Just as he turned and was about to move, a group of vampires appeared in front of him. One, two, three…. Seven. Seven of them. As soon as they saw him they surrounded the man. ”Shit!” he cursed. What should I do? He thought but nothing came into his mind.

But the enemy wasn't going to wait for him to formulate his plan, and so, they attacked. Kadyn tried to defend and he succeeded but he was just a single man — with a mindless beast — not even Rank 1 mage yet, but none of his enemies was below Rank 1. Just as he avoided the first attack another came and hit on his back, he winced in pain and flinched, groaning miserably.

”I have felt Cecilia's aura at this place, but it suddenly vanished. It must be this guy's doing,” one of the vampires commented. His red eyes fixed on Kadyn and his beast.

”We need to capture at any cost, or we won't have a good ending,” another one replied.

”Let's capture him first,” someone else suggested. ”After that we would make him vomit anything he knows about Cecilia.”

”Let's do it!”

”Fuck, I can't stay here any longer,” Kadyn cursed when he saw their red eyes peering at him like vicious wolves. ”I have to escape,” he murmured and then commanded his summoned beast. ”Attack!”

”Roar!”

”Bang!”

As the beast attacked, Kadyn opened his status window. He wanted to teleport away from here, otherwise, he would not make it out of here, no matter what. After all he was alone and he was no match for these people, and who knew how many vampires were roaming inside the castle.
