Chapter 152 - Hero
🕑 Added 2024-10-25 07:00:07 +0000 UTCIt was one of the three life-saving artifacts that Caterina gave to him. When facing a death threat, the artifact would automatically activate and absorb a large amount of impact directed at the user.
Boom!!
People could see a ball of light shooting into the city. The hunched old man's attack instantly sent Leyvi flying so far away.
In a blink of an eye, he was already ten kilometers away, destroying many things as he collided with them.
At this moment, there was nothing else on the hunched old man's mind. He wanted to tear apart the ant responsible for the failure of his plans. He chased after the ball of light, leaving behind his malfunctioned formation. A streak of black lines entered the city, chasing after the ball of light.
However, before the hunched old man could move far, he heard a sonic boom and felt terrifyingly sharp claws drilling into his body, leaving behind a hole that fit the size of a human.
The corpse of what remained of the hunched old man fell to the ground, dyeing it red.
"You piece of shit old fart. Get ready to experience my wrath! I'm going to take my time torturing you until my heart is satisfied!" Caterina gripped something violently in her palm, intending to hurt it.
ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!
NOOOOOO!!!
LET ME GOOOOO!!!!!
A soul was screaming in agony within Caterina's hand, begging to be freed. It was the hunched old man's soul. He seemed to be powerless under her grip.
Dammit! What is this spirit weapon? It sealed all of my soul power! Let me at least kill that ant!
"Hehehe. Old fart, do you think there will be no consequences after messing with me? How dare you do this to my beloved city? How dare you kill my people! Don't worry, I won't let you die easily. I will shred and tear apart your retarded soul slowly and painfully." Caterina said with a smile, but her eyes would send chills to anyone watching.
The hunched old man's soul was terrified by her gaze and wanted to commit suicide, but he couldn't.
She then brought out a tiny jar-looking item, tossed the hunched old man's soul inside, and tied it to her cute belt with a cat design. It was a spirit artifact specifically made to trap the soul of a cultivator who reached the Nascent Soul realm and above.
Throughout her life, this was the first time she had used this jar to trap a cultivator's soul inside ever since she obtained it, indicating how much hatred she had for the hunched old man.
A few kilometers away, Leyvi appeared from the rubble, looking extremely dizzy. The life-saving artifact saved his life by absorbing all the impact, but Leyvi's body couldn't withstand the velocity at which he was propelled, leaving him extremely dizzy. Leyvi puked on the ground for a few minutes.
He still had a lingering fear of being the target of that terrifying attack. The force, the killing intent, and the overwhelming aura were not something a cultivator of his level should be experiencing.
"Ugh....I wonder what happened after that? Did she kill him?" Leyvi asked himself while holding his head. He spread out his spiritual sense to investigate and saw the corpse of the hunched old man on the ground.
"Phew...He should be dead, right?" He heard that a Nascent Soul realm expert could survive without their body, so a Soul Formation realm expert should be able to do the same even better. However, considering that the city lord was also a Soul Formation expert, she had most likely exterminated his soul too.
"Huh? Where is she?" Leyvi didn't see Caterina anywhere within his range. Leyvi decided to run away and go back to his family. Who knows if she wanted to act like a ghost and haunt him after things settled? Better escape first!
While Leyvi was escaping, Caterina had flown to the city center to help his subordinates and Luna clean up the rest of the resurrected Demonic Beasts and humans.
When she arrived, the situation was under control already. Her subordinates now had the upper hand dealing with the considerably weakened Demonic Beasts. Additionally, the killed Demonic Beasts didn't regenerate again and remained as skeletons this time, causing them to celebrate. They really didn't have any spare energy to fight anymore.
Since she had plenty of spare energy, Caterina joined the clean-up process and annihilated them at record speed. What surprised her was that Albert Wood was using the fire concept to conjure many weird items to kill the resurrected humans. He was using them to practice his newfound power.
After every single one of the resurrected beings was killed, Chief Leader Badang approached Caterina with his severely injured body. Thankfully, something happened that caused the Demonic Beasts to be weakened in a critical moment previously. If not, everyone could have died from the Demonic Tiger's ultimate attack. It must be thanks to the city lord for killing the villain.
"City Lord!" Badang saluted.
"You don't have to report now. Go recover first with everyone." Caterina instructed which Badang immediately complied.
Even without the report, she could see for herself the extent of the damage done to her city. Ten of her Nascent Soul realm subordinates had their physical body destroyed and were left with only weak nascent souls. It would be very difficult for them to rebuild their bodies and fully recover.
The more she saw this, the more irritated she became. The hunched old man's soul would suffer every day to pay for his actions!
"Madam, Husband is safe! I can see him coming here!" Layla reported it to Anda excitedly.
Anda and the others let out a relieved sigh simultaneously. They had been worried for a while.
"Looks like I don't have to wipe out this city." Anda joked with a smile.
However, Ava and Dorin didn't feel like it was funny. They made sure to make a mental note to never mess with her in the future.
Very soon, Leyvi returned to the carriage happily. "Hahaha! Hero Leyvi is back! I saved the Holy Cat City from a disaster! Everyone gives me a big applause! Oh wait a minute, let me confirm the situation first. Layla, how is the situation at the city center?"
"Wait a second, let me see....." Layla closed her eyes again and changed the vision to the mini Layla that was stationed near the city center.
"Ah, here we go...They had just finished killing all the resurrected things and were recovering. So yeah, the danger was over. We can celebrate now." Layla reported.
"Hahaha! Give me that big clap!" Leyvi laughed.
"Go go! Hero Leyvi!"
"Go go! Hero Leyvi!"
They celebrated and cheered for their hero and savior.
"I can't wait to taste Hero Leyvi very soon." Anda licked her lips. The ladies who understood her meaning smiled mischievously while Selene, Ava, and Dorin were left confused.
The atmosphere in the carriages, deep underground, at the corner of the city, was strangely lively.
Not long later, they resumed the travel and went out of the city. Scarlet immediately brought them to the surface again since there was no need to be underground anymore.
Leyvi summoned the airship that was given by Magnus Goldstone. They decided to return to the Mountain Dew Sect right away. Initially, they wanted to enjoy the city center for a few more days, but unfortunately, almost everything was destroyed now.
After they entered the airship, Leyvi felt like something wasn't right.
"Ehem...Young Lady Dorin, why are you still here? Why haven't you contacted your family to pick you up yet? We are going back to my sect now. You don't want to follow a country bumpkin along, right? You should go find a new harem, but pick better people this time." Leyvi said to her.
"Ahaha! It's fine. Hero bumpkin, as you can see, my dream hasn't ended yet, so I would like to indulge myself and let you stay as my lover until it ends. If it continued long enough, you might get lucky to be the man who claimed my purity. Even if it was just a dream, it was the highest honor in your life." Due to so many outrageous things happening today, Dorin had convinced herself that it was all a dream and nothing could convince her otherwise.
Everyone was once again dumbfounded by what Dorin Homun said.
Leyvi started to question whether she was really the twin sister of Norin Homun. Did she accidentally fall to the floor when their mother gave birth? Did she grow up in a Delulu Land or something? Or did she use a retarded cultivation method? And what do you mean by your purity? You had a reverse harem. I don't believe you are still a virgin.
"Hehe..." Anda giggled. "It's alright Leyvi. I kinda like her now. Let her follow us for as long as it takes until she wakes up from her 'dream'. I can let her be my alchemy assistant for the time being. I already informed Norin that we saved her." She smiled mischievously.
Leyvi rolled his eyes. How could he not know what she was thinking? Even if his panda wife didn't mind, how could he take advantage of a girl who couldn't think properly?
"What do you mean, you informed my sister? Don't get anyone from my family involved in this! I don't want them to appear in my dream!"
Dorin wanted to enjoy her lucid dream to the fullest.
