Chapter 129 The Deathful Encounter
Yuri helped Sato and decided to go back to the village to check up on things and come back with the report.
She didn't take any means of transportation, instead, she chose to fly which was much faster.
"I don't understand why he's so worried, it's not like we don't have strong guards securing the village… he's such a worrywart," Yuri muttered to herself as she soared through the sky.
Just when she had gotten to the first district in Nervek, Yuri looked to her right and noticed a path leading to the Riojas kingdom.
Yuri halted and looked at the kingdom, she then remembered Sato mentioning, Latina going to the kingdom, so she went over to check.
Arriving at the kingdom, she used her magic to search the place, but she couldn't sense Latina anywhere there.
So she left to continue her advance toward the village, but just on her way there, she caught a glimpse of a beast man, laying on the ground injured close to dismantled carriages.
Yuri took the initiative and went to check up on him since she was sure she had seen his face in the village before.
Touching down on the ground, Yuri knelt beside the man and placed her hand on his chest to feel his heartbeat.
"He's still breathing." Yuri uttered, she immediately placed her hand on the beast-man's forehead and used her healing magic to patch him up.
The beastman suddenly sprung up from the ground with fear written on his face, "Please, don't kill me, please don't kill me!" The man repeated over and over.
"Hey, calm down!" Yuri yelled, grabbing the arm of the beastman.
"He's going to kill me… kill me…!".
Paaa!
Yuri sent a fast slap to the beastmen, "Get yourself together and tell me what happened!".
The beastman looked at Yuri, his eyes widened in terror like he had just witnessed a traumatic scene.
"L-lady, you have to get out of here… he's going to kill you too… he killed everybody, everyone died!" The beastman sobbed.
"But somehow you managed to escape the massacre…" Yuri muttered before she stood to her feet.
"I-I barely survived, he was so strong and mighty, I only got lucky… but my friends." The beastman sobbed even more as he spoke.
"Is that so?" Yuri glanced down at the beastmen, "It's more than luck.. you managed to get out unscathed and even had time to mimic fake injuries on yourself, faith must be on your side".
The beastman paused for a while before he began laughing, standing to his feet as he covered his face with his palm.
"Looks like you got me." The beastman said with a huge grin. His body started to transform into a human man, with a bald head and wearing only trousers with no top.
"Ahhh, all my acting went to waste… damn you for ruining it." The man said disappointely but with a happy smile on his face.
"I don't know you and you don't know me… good enough to let our fist do the talking." Yuri uttered with her eyes set on the man.
"Don't get too pushy, let's chat a bit." The man said, reaching inside one of the carriages and pulling out a woman whose neck had already been snapped.
Some parts of her body had already darkened and a black sand-like substance was trailing out of her eyes, mouth, and other open areas on her body.
Yuri watched with disgust as the man used his hand to rip the woman's hand from her shoulder.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "Do you want a piece?" The man asked, raising the severed hand toward Yuri while the blood dripped on the ground.
Yuri sighed, "At first I thought you were an enemy, but considering the woman you brought out is a human, it's of no use to me."
Yuri walked away, looking around to see more dead bodies scattered on the floor, and every one of them having the same features, black substance dripping from every open area on their faces.
The man raised the arm above his head and opened his mouth for the blood to plnge inside his mouth.
After having his fill, he tossed the arm to the side and smiled, "Still fresh…" He uttered before standing to his feet.
He took his time, cleaning the blood in his mouth and dusting the dirt on his body.
"Awwwn, I can't believe I let her go… she looked so interesting~".
Baaam!
Yuri suddenly showed up with a punch straight to the man's face as fury embodied her eyes.
The man's body went tumbling on the ground, over and over again till his body came to a stop.
Even though his face had been broken and his jaw had dropped, he still had a happy expression as he lay flat on the ground.
"Heheh, you came back." The man mumbled, standing to his feet while using his hand to pack up his jaw.
Yuri was standing a few feet in front of him, with seven pink giant tentacles, growing out from the ground beside her.
"You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into," Yuri hinted.
"Oh?".
"I'm about to make you wish you never crossed paths with me." Yuri threatened, her hair rising as purple-glowing magic coated her body.
"Perfect… I was getting depressed already."
The man's arm dematerialized into sand before constructing itself into a large blade, the man smiled getting ready to launch himself at Yuri.
Just a bit further behind Yuri, was a broken carriage, and inside the carriage, laid Latina, her inside split open as her organs were plunged outside.
