Chapter 921: Jenna and Yuma
?Despite Lith's statement, the young lady didn't budge from her place and continued to take on a defensive stance.
"You have exactly three seconds to explain yourself." The young lady threatened.
Lith shook his head. "I'm not a Human, I'm a Vampire. And I don't have any ill intentions."
"What?" The lady stood in her place in surprise, letting go of her defensive stance. "You're a Vampire? How?"
"What?" Lith was befuddled. What did she mean by how?
The young lady stared at Lith, then at the ducks and amazonians around her. She was in the midst of thinking something and after coming to a decision, she walked up to Lith and held his hand.
"Come with me." The lady said.
Lith was taken aback again, but followed the young lady nonetheless.
The two walked away from the tavern for about ten minutes, then climbed a tree and entered a tree house.
Lith saw a gentle looking lady in this tree house, sitting by a windowsill, playing a harp.
The lady stopped playing her harp and turned to look at the two who had just barged in.
She showed some surprise after having a look at the handsome silver-haired man. "Jenna, did you bring a human here?"
The girl, Jenna, shook her head. "Mom, you won't believe this..."
Jenna walked up to her mother and looking at Lith, whispered a few things in her ears.
Jenna's mother was shocked and her hands trembled slightly.
However, composing herself, she looked at Lith and asked, "You said you're a Vampire?"
Lith nodded. "That's right."
The lady squinted her eyes at Lith. "Do you know... There are no Vampires in this world."
Now this was a major shock, but Lith wasn't fazed. He simply shrugged and as if it was a normal thing, said, "I wouldn't know, I'm not from this world after all."
Jenna and her mother gasped in terror.
"W-w-what did you just... say...?" Jenna asked.
Lith snapped his fingers and cast a barrier around the room to not let sound escape.
"I said I'm not from this world." Lith repeated himself.
Jenna and her mother looked at him as if he was an alien, but then their eyes turned moist.
With red eyes, Jenna took a deep breath and asked, "If you don't mind... Can you please tell us what world you came from? Like what type of races there are and administration and overall, just a bit of it? Please?"
"I don't mind." Lith said. "However, you have to first tell me if you know this world well or not, and if you could help navigate me around or not."
"No problem." Jenna readily agreed.
Lith nodded and said, "Well, the world I come from, it has eight major races and—"
"What!?" Jenna exclaimed. "Eight major races!?"
Jenna's mother widened her eyes as well and looked at Lith with a shocked expression. "Eight major races..."
"Are they Human, Demons, Angels, Elves, Dragons, Vampires, Werewolves, and Witches!?" Jenna immediately listed them out.
Lith was surprised to see them list it so accurately and said, "That's right."
"Oh my..." Jenna burst out in tears and hugged her mother, crying alongside her.
"We finally came across one person..." Jenna's mother said, crying.
Lith, who understood the situation, said, "I'm assuming you two are from my world, yes? The world which has eight continents named after the respective race living in it and then the Neutral Continent."
"Yes!" Jenna's mother cried out and so did her.
"Yes! Yes! And Yes!" The two cried out laid.
"Amazing." Lith smiled and said.
He didn't speak further on this and gave the two a moment of silence.
The mother-daughter pair cried out hard and it was only after a few minutes did they collect themselves and got back to their senses.
Jenna's mother, her eyes red from crying, wiped her face and said, "Apologies for the outburst. May I know who this gentleman is and his name? I am Yuma, Jenna's mother."
"I am Lith Evure."
"Lith Evure..." Yuma and Jenna repeated the name.
Lith analyzed their reactions and wondered if they recognized him.
Yuma shook her head and said, "Mr. Lith Evure, please make yourself comfortable around here. There's many things my daughter and I have to ask you."
Lith shook his head. "My apologies, but I'm in a rush. Though, judging by you guys' faces, I can roughly make out that you want to go back to that world, yes?"
"That is indeed the case, Mr. Lith. Our apologies if it may have come off as rude—"
"Don't fret." Lith interrupted Yuma and said. "I'll not ask how you guys are here or what you're doing, all I'll ask is show me around and help me out on a few things. In return, I promise to take you guys back."
Jenna and Yuma widened their eyes in surprise.
"A promise?" This was a big deal!
Lith nodded. "Yes, a promise."
"Oh my god..." Yuma and Jenna almost passed out from shock hearing that.
Lith shook his head and walked outside the tree house, not wanting to indulge in these two's drama.
While he knew it was a big thing for the two, Lith didn't feel much about it because... well... Why would he care about a few random strangers he just met?
It was not to be forgotten that Lith was actually a cruel Vampire at heart. A being that only wishes the best for his close ones and gives not a single fuck to others.
The human morals, the past life's identity, everything was washed away by now.
There was nothing of past life left and Lith had embraced his Vampire self. He was as cruel and bloodthirsty as them now with no signs of walking down a morally righteous path like the humans.
Lith looked around the treehouse and tapped his heels, waiting for the mother-daughter pair to finish with their crying and come get some actual work done.
It was only after ten minutes did the two come out and see Lith again.
Jenna was in an adventurer's outfit, wearing a white shirt with a brown vest and pants. There was a backpack with her and she seemed to be ready to go out.
Yuma was in her normal dress and looking at Lith and Jenna, she said, "I suppose Mr. Lith has some urgent work here and I understand. Please take Jenna with you, she'll guide you to whatever place you want to go. I have some business to take care of here and when I'm done with it, I'll meet you guys in Harmony City."
Lith didn't argue or ask for more details on her statements. He simply nodded and holding Jenna like a cloth on his sides, he extended his wings out and flew away, surprising Jenna and making her shriek.
"Tell me everything you know about this world and guide me to a nearby city. Don't hold back on any information." Lith commanded.
"Okay!" Jenna readily agreed. "This world has many small cities and..."
.....
In a deep forest.
"...Got you, filthy creature of darkness."
BOOOM!
A Light spear came straight at Dennis with a sonic boom, making his ears bleed from the shockwave.
Dennis, being the very best at combat, evaded the attack with the best of his abilities by rolling to his sides. However, it didn't happen without the spear grazing past at least a bit of his body.
"Fuck you!" Dennis cursed and got up. "I thought you were nice, but no!"
He made a run one again in a random direction, not wanting to involve himself with this mad woman.
The old lady laughed evilly as golden light radiated her eyes. "There's no escape, sinner. You shall be purified by the holy light and repent for your filthy existence!"
Saying so, she manifested another Light spear in her hand and threw it at Dennis.
This time around, the spear did not follow a straight trajectory and rather, it kept changing direction and targeted Dennis.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Dennis cursed. "I didn't want to use that! I really didn't want to! Not in this place at the very least! But fuck! There's no other way!"
What Dennis was shouting about was something only he knew of.
A serious glint formed in his eyes and while running, he said, "I'll make you pay a thousand times for bringing out this embarrassing side of mine. Even His Highness and Ralph haven't seen it yet. I wanted to surprise them. I really wanted to. But you little shit... You are the first who gets to see it..."
It was a big pity on Dennis's part, but there was nothing he could do.
The situation called for it and he had to face it.
Stopping in his tracks immediately, Dennis turned around and faced the spear charging at him head-on.
"Fuck it! Come at me!" Dennis exclaimed while staring at the powerful Light spear.
The old lady smiled widely, looking at Dennis commit obvious suicide.
"If only all creatures were like you, they would have perished by now. Kek kek..."
Dennis took a deep breath and having his red eyes shine, chanted, "By moonlit glow and sunlit ray, weave the strands of light this way. Illuminate the shadows, banish night, let radiant magic take its flight."
The old lady's smile abruptly vanished as she heard that. "That's..."
A hundred golden blobs of lights formed in front of Dennis and made a mesh.
The fast charging golden spear hit the mesh, but instead of exploding or going past it, rebounded with the great momentum it had collided with, and flew right back at the old lady.
"NO BLOODY WAYYYYYY!"
