Chapter 170: A crush
” Who the fuck is it now? ” Jayden said as he walked towards the door.
He opened it slightly, so that nothing inside could be seen, peeking out of the door he looked at the man standing there and asked:
” What do you want? ”
The man looked panicked, and with a shaky voice he said:
” I-it’s an emergency, a large beast horde is coming here to attack us. You should all go to the centre and wait there. ”
After finishing his sentence, the men turned around and left without waiting for any reply. Jayden frowned and closed the door, turning around he looks at the terrified expressions of the women.
” What’s wrong everyone? ” he asked, getting closer to the bed.
” Some time ago, we were attacked by a beast horde it wasn’t too big and contained around thirty beasts. ” Mulan said, before continuing.
” Still many of our men died, and many people were taken away by the beasts, men, women and children. But this time, it seems like more than 100 beasts must be coming. ” she finished, her body shivering as she remembered what happened last time.
” Hmmm… While taking away people from here, did they kill them or bring them alive with them? ” he asked.
” The beasts only killed the fighters, while taking away the rest alive. ” one of the women responded.
” Now that’s strange, they should’ve just killed all of them and then taken away their bodies, that would certainly have made their job a lot easier. While bringing them alive will be a hassle. ” Jayden muttered to himself.
” Then why do you think they did that? ” Mulan asked.
” There are many possibilities like they have a leader with intelligence, and they need alive humans for something.
Or they just love eating their prey while listening to their cries.
Or they were controlled by a human, and he kidnapped them maybe for labor or something entirely different. ” Jayden said.
” I personally think the third option is highly likely, do you have any guesses, who could it be? Like someone super strong around here,” he asked.
” The people who are strongest around this place are the Buddhist sect, but I don’t think they will do something like that, they are a righteous sect after all. ” Mulan responded.
” We can find that out later, but just stay in here and don’t go outside. I’ll create an array around this room so that no one can enter,” he said.
All the women had already started dressing up, and after listening to his words they all felt happy that he was with them right now.
Then invisible magical symbols began to pour out of Jayden’s hands, at a speed much faster than before, it was a new type of shield array he had learned. No one below the mid level of the Spirit Creation realm would be able to break it.
” I’m done. Wait for me here I’ll be back in a flash. ”
It only took him less than a single minute to create the array, all the women were astonished. Then using Void skill he teleported directly outside of the village and appeared near the beast horde.
All the women in the room stared into thin air, they couldn’t understand how could he just disappear like that. He seemed even more mysterious to them, and so they fantasized even more about him.
…
Jayden stared at the upcoming horde of beasts, they ranged from the peak of Qi Gathering to the initial stage of Spirit Creation. With the strongest being a big spider that was at the 2nd stage of the Spirit Creation realm.
” Let’s check if they really are possessed. ” Jayden said and slowly walked in front of the horde, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
As soon as the beast saw him, they halted for an instant showing their surprise then the two beasts at the front charged towards Jayden and the rest just marched towards the sect.
” So, they are being controlled by a person. ” Jayden concluded.
” Anna, if I kill these beasts, will the beast tamer controlling them suffer at all? ” he asked, calmly observing the beasts charging towards him.
” No, no physical harm could be transferred to him, but if these beasts were being controlled by a single tamer, and if you were to launch a mental attack on these beasts, then he’d suffer greatly,” she answered.
” Just as I thought, any way you really have a vast amount of knowledge, you seem to know literally about everything. ” Jayden said in awe.
” This is nothing, when you live long enough you’ll come across various things, some good, some bad and whether you get something from them or not experience is the one thing you’ll surely get. ” Anna said.
” Suddenly you seem like a wise woman, Anna. ”
Jayden joked and waved a hand creating an invisible barrier that would trap all the beasts inside it.
” Everyone used to praise me for my beauty, strength and intelligence back in the day, more than half of the vampires had a crush on me. Even the Vampire lord had asked me for marriage, but I refused since I didn’t want to be with an old man. ” Anna said in a proud tone.
” Damn Anna, so you are into younger boys? ”
Jayden said, with a chuckle.
All the beasts were running at their full speed, then many of them got seriously injured after hitting the invisible barrier. The weaker ones were even killed because of the strikes they received from behind.
*BOOM* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BOOM*
Several loud sounds rang out, as the beasts collided into the barrier and one another.
” No, there was someone I loved, though it was more like a crush I had since I was a kid. ” Anna said, her tone seemed sad. ” Anyway he died a long time ago. ”
” Ah… I’m sorry about that. ” Jayden said, seriousness replacing his playful tone.
” Don’t worry about that, it happened a long, long time ago. And I’m sure that person must be happy as well since he got to protect what he wanted. ” Anna said and then fell silent.
” Yeah, he must be happy. ” Jayden replied and then focussed his attention towards the beasts, while thinking about her words in his mind.
They were all furiously hitting the barrier, trying to break it, the strongest among them seemed the most aggressive. Jayden looked into the eyes of the beasts, hoping to find any kind of evidence from them.
But it seemed that the tamer had removed most of their memories, still, Jayden was able to find the location they all had come from.
” So that’s where you are hiding,” he said, as a grin appeared on his face.
Jayden steps forward into the barrier, as all the beasts roared at him in fury. He could sense the anger and frustration of the tamer in the beast’s eyes.
After scanning the area, he confirmed that all the beasts were together since otherwise, it would be hard for the tamer to control them all at the same time.
” Why don’t we play a game now, you scaredy shit. ” Jayden said and looked in the eyes of one of the beast, and launched a mental attack.
*CRIEEEEEEEEEK*
