Chapter 480: Queen of Lies
While Jayden was enjoying the touch of Hecate’s soft body, he heard the growling of a demon, it seemed that the demon had finally arrived near the water, it slowed down and began to drink water.
Turning his head in the direction of the demon, he focussed and found that the demon seemed to be a little injured, its breathing was ragged as if it had just escaped from a battle.
‘ Is it being hunted by another demon or are there humans around here? ‘ Jayden thought, his mind was completely focussed on the surroundings, but Hecate was having a tough time concentrating when she was this close to a man for the first time in her life.
She slowly turned her head and saw that Jayden was looking in a different direction, taking in a deep breath she wanted to calm her mind but since they were so close she actually ended up sniffing his scent, which she actually found quite enticing.
There was a strange glint in her eyes while some thoughts ran through her head, it was impossible for Jayden to know what she was thinking, but she no longer looked flustered.
Jayden was still focusing on the outside, the demon rested in the water washing away its wounds while for some reason it was being careful of its surroundings.
*BANG*
Just then something came flying towards the demon and without giving it the time to move it hit the demon right on its back, a painful cry was released by its mouth as the sounds of several footsteps sounded.
” Haha, I told you this demon would definitely come running towards the waterfall. ”
The voice of a man sounded, Jayden used his Void skill to observe everything outside he could finally make out a demon that was laying on its side in the water while colouring it red with its blood.
This 3rd Zone demon is the weakest among all the others Jayden have seen so far, maybe it was still too young, it was like a lizard with a long mouth, because of the injuries present on its body the demon was trembling violently while constantly releasing painful cries as if calling someone for help.
” I- It’s actually a baby demon, I think it’s calling for its parents. ” Hecate said, but her gaze remained fixed on Jayden.
Nodding his head Jayden was about to reply when Anna’s voice sounded in his head.
” Jayden be careful. ”
‘ Careful? Is there something special about this demon? ‘ he asked in confusion.
” No, I’m not talking about the demon but Hecate, no matter how she is acting now she is still one of the strongest witches I have met, and she also has a special name. ”
Anna said, like always her words immediately got Jayden curious: ‘ What is it? ‘ he asked without showing any changes in his expression.
” The Queen of Lies, it is almost impossible to understand her thoughts or actions, her words, moves everything could just as well be a deception, most witches are cunning but she is definitely the one who rules at the top in that regard. ” Anna said her tone serious, it felt as if Anna knew many things about Hecate.
‘ As expected of you, giving all important information at the end, why haven’t you told me all this when I was abducting her? That means she is not a ticking bomb but a moody nuclear bomb, anyway but why is she acting like this then? ‘
Jayden asked while sighing in his heart, he almost wanted to thank the people who had locked Anna up.
” It is impossible to predict her thoughts, but I think she still cares a little about those people who lived along with her in this world… probably.
She is smart, so much so that she could fool anyone, even herself. ” She said in the end and then went silent, leaving Jayden to deal with this cunning witch.
” Do you want to return home? I think I no longer need a slave, and I’m sure the people back at your home must be missing you quite a bit. ”
Jayden turned his face towards Hecate and since she was looking towards the waterfall, his lips slightly grazed against her ear, making Hecate body shiver while his warm breath hitting her skin quickened her own breathing.
” Don’t speak right now, I think that there are people outside. ” She said, and again hastily turned her head in a different direction ignoring his question.
‘ Just you wait Anna, I’ll be sure to spank your ass the moment I see you. ‘ Jayden thought but received no response from her, he again focussed on the outside while his mind was filled with thoughts about the cunning witch, and ways to get rid of her.
By now three men had walked closer to the injured demon, who kept releasing cries calling for someone, Jayden observed the three men and saw that two of them were quite weak to be hunting a 3rd Zone demon, but the third man who was the oldest among all of them was quite strong.
All three of them were wearing white coloured clothes, which looked similar to pants and shirts, and it seemed to be a uniform.
‘ So these two must be here to collect the Demon cores and that 3rd man is here to help them, and that uniform…Are they from that academy or something ? ‘ he thought, but observed them silently without revealing his location.
” Yeah yeah, you are always right.” The second man spoke, the two of them were in their early thirties while the man following them was in his mid forties.
” Big bro, let me kill this one then I could boast among others that I had actually killed a 3rd Zone demon. ” The boy who had a shiny bald head spoke, rubbing the back of his head.
” No baldy, we have decided last time that I’ll be the one to kill the first demon, don’t go back on your words now. ” The second boy shouted, not caring about his surroundings.
” Huuuh, why would you be the first? I’m older than you, so I’m going to be the first one. ” The baldy said, rubbing his shiny head as if wiping off the dust from its smooth surface.
” Of course, I have to be the first since I still have hair. ” The second boy said waving his long ponytail in front of Baldy.
” Stop it, both of you. We can’t waste time here on your useless discussion, just do it like a proper man. ”
The third man said, even as he talked his gaze remained on the body of the injured demon, then he added: ” Just toss a coin, whoever wins will be able to slay this 3rd Zone demon. ”
The other two men had an enlightenment, as Baldy hastily took out a coin and tossed it high in the air.
In the end, Baldy actually lost and the second man began to rejoice but as it turned out the Baldy was a petty loser and he actually pounced towards the injured demon while waving his sword with a crazy wide grin
