Summoned and Unwanted

585 The loving parents

*Warning – This chapter can contain disturbing content*

“Okay. I will take the pregnant woman home as quickly as possible.” Vincent stated with a determined gaze. He was willing to speed through the city with all the power at his disposal if it meant having more percentage of saving both the mother and the child.

Vincent remembered he had forty Soul Power left, yet it was still in the morning. More complications could happen, and using his ability twice wasn’t enough.

Vincent decided to leave this matter for later and looked at the two lizardfolk. He felt the couple could need some time to talk before being separated at this most crucial time.

Time slowed, and darkness started surrounding them. Vincent soon appeared in his Soul Domain, sitting on his emerald throne. Below him were two shivering lizardmen looking back at him with a terrified expression.

“Welcome to my Soul Domain. Please do not be afraid about time. You can stay here for ten minutes here, and it will be ten seconds in the living world. Additionally, the two of you should not be able to feel pain right now as your body is actually your soul taking the form it is used to.”

[Vincent is right. In fact, look at your belly. It is empty because Vincent didn’t bring the soul of your child in here.]

The female lizardman looked down, and she could not see her baby. Her emotions became conflicted, and she started to panic. Fortunately, the male lizardman understood Vincent was giving them ten minutes without feeling the pain to be with one another.

“Do not panic, my mate. The god who bought us is giving us this ten minutes gift without pain.” He said warmly to his woman.

.....

The female lizardman turned her gaze on Vincent. She saw him sitting majestically on an emerald throne. Beside him was a floating green ball of light. Beside his leg was a small wolf. And flying above him were a lot of butterflies.

The female lizardman dropped to her knees and begged, “Ohh, merciful god. Please save my child.” She lowered her head and showed how much she desired her wish to be granted.

The male lizardman also dropped to his knees after his leg wasn’t in pain anymore.

“We pay our respects to the god who decided to become our owner and has shown worry over our child. I am old, and I do not ask to be saved. I only ask for my mate and our child to be saved.”

“No, my god! I also don’t care about my life. I only care to have a safe birth, and our child living a better life than us.”

Vincent and Kazumi looked at each other. It was obvious the two lizardmen knew their condition was bad, and if they survived for a few more years, their child would experience a loss in their younger years.

“The goblins already called me god, so hearing it another time isn’t that shocking. ” Vincent said while standing up.

[Yeah. God Vincent sounds a little bit too much.]

“Why are you saying that?”

[A man who is afraid to be killed by his women during his sexy nightly cultivation time can’t be a god, hehe.]

*Sigh* Vincent facepalmed and approached the two lizardmen.

Vincent signaled with his hand upwards and requested, “Please stand up. I am not a god. Instead, I am a person from another world. This is why I have powers others do not have.”

“Can my child be saved with the special powers of gods from another world?” Asked the female lizardman.

“I don’t care where our god came from. Saving my mate and our child is enough for me. We accept our god even if he is set to destroy the world.” The male lizardman announced.

*Sigh* “So I am still a god in the end...” Vincent shook his head in defeat.

“How about we change the subject?” Vincent looked at the male lizardman and continued, “Why do you have a lot of injuries on your body, both from the outside and inside? I don’t even know how you are able to walk with your damaged leg.”

“My god... my mate protected me for five years after getting captured. Even if his body is old, his will is young and ferocious. My mate never allowed a man to touch me by attacking anyone that tried to.” The female lizardman had tears welling in her eyes while continuing, “Now my mate can’t speak because they damaged his tongue.”

The female lizardman looked at the male lizardman and said while tears slid on her cheeks, “Hearing my mate speak after four years of communicating with hand signs is like a dream come true.”

Vincent patted the male lizardman’s shoulder. “You did a good job protecting your woman. Most of the time, showing how much you value your mate by putting your life on the line is something not everyone can do.”

“I will now leave the two of you alone for a couple of minutes left. But I am regretful to say this. I can only use my life-saving ability twice today. Furthermore, I do not know if my ability will cause a compilation...”

Kazumi went in front of the two lizardmen.

[What Vincent is trying to say is his life saving ability will make a person experience something similar to a rebirth. While the mother gets better, we do not know if the child inside of her will experience a problem.]

“I can only offer potions and a little recovery to help with the childbirth. I never used my power to make a person experience recovery similar to rebirth while pregnant... I do not know what could happen to the child. I...”

“I don’t mind dying if god wishes to save my child this much. My child’s fate will be in your hands.” The female lizardman looked at the male lizardman and continued, “Don’t be sad, my mate. I can only have one child either way. If our child can be born safely, I don’t mind giving up my life.”

Vincent noticed the male lizardman looked depressed. He turned around and possibly gave the two lizardman time to share their final words.

Vincent went to sit on the throne. He felt terrible to see a couple who was about to have a child decide on who had to die.

Vincent didn’t want to risk causing more harm than good with his skills, and he didn’t know if a Minor Heal was enough to help with the childbirth.

However, time was against them, and Vincent didn’t want to risk a horrible result using Retainer Bond and experience. If the skill would kill or mutate the child, Vincent knew deep down he was going to feel guilty for the result and have nightmares for months.

[Vincent. I know you feel terrible, but how about we think about the future?]

“Future?”

[Yes. How about instead of thinking about negative thoughts, we think about positive thoughts instead? It would be better to think about the new life born because of us.]

“Yeah. You are right. We should think about the child we want to save instead of what could go wrong.”

[I am glad you are starting to think positively at last.]

Vincent smiled. He gently grabbed Kazumi and placed her on his lap. He looked to his side and saw Wolfie wag its tail for being noticed. It raised its body and cutely begged to be lifted.

Vincent chuckled and also placed Wolfie on his lap. Freerie cheerfully flapped their wings and landed on Vincent’s head and shoulders. It made Vincent feel the love they had for him.

‘I hope the mother can survive the childbirth. If not, I will take care of her child as my own.’ Vincent considered while looking at the two lizardmen hugging each other silently as if the world currently revolved around them.

During the few minutes of waiting for the ten minutes to pass, Vincent and Kazumi talked about the deer woman and what questions they wished to ask her. The more time passed, the more questions they desired to ask. Their curiosity became vast, and it helped the two temporarily forget about the childbirth problem.

Later, Vincent told them, “Ten more seconds before my skill ends.”

The two lizardmen nodded at each other. Instead of spending the last ten minutes acting affectionate together, they lowered to their knees and, at the last second, said, “Thank you, god.”

The last sight of the lizardmen Vincent saw was the two of them kneeling with grand respect and appreciation for what Vincent gave them. The little time they spent together was a priceless gift Vincent couldn’t fathom.

The little time they were given was similar to knowing your loved one was about to die and you had ten extra minutes to spend time with. This was what the two lizardmen saw it. The reason? They knew death was upon them, and the power to save a life was better used to save their child.

Vincent opened his eyes and knew it was time to give orders.

“Lupa. You have the most strength, so you carry the mermaid. The orc will help the lizard man walk. Ester, Iris, and Lilith, the two of you lead and help when necessary.”

Vincent looked at Jun Ye Rim and continued, “Jun Ye Rim, you make sure with your soul servant to remain unfollowed and scout your surroundings if you have a bad hunch. Can I count on you?”

“I will do as you ask, but only because everyone greatly needs my help.” Jun Ye Rim agreed.

*Pho!* “Plow is not weak! Plow will keep everyone safe too!” Plow stated after feeling left out.
