Chapter 484: Picnic
After listening to Bruce’s words, Jiggy immediately walked towards the puddle of blood, bones and meat then he began to search for something with one hand while he used the other hand to pinch his nose and stop the putrid smell from making him vomit.
” Here it is. ”
After a few seconds, he was finally able to find a small pouch that was torn from many places but had kept all the cores stored inside it safely, taking out the cores from it he walked towards the water and began to wash them.
After cleaning them properly, he walked back towards Hecate and then reluctantly pulled his own pouch away from his waist and took one 3rd Zone demon core and ten 2nd Zone demon cores, after staring at them for a few seconds he extended his hands towards Hecate, with twenty two cores lying over his palms.
But just then he thought that he should just give her an empty pouch along with it, so he began to speak:
” Wait let me place them in a pouch- huh? ” But before he could even finish Hecate non – challantly waved her hand in the air and stored all the cores in her ring.
” W- What? Do you have a spatial ring? Are you really from t- the Gortin Valley? ” Bruce asked with wide eyes, only the rich people could have even the rings with the smallest storage, so seeing one on her made him doubt their real identities.
” I’m from that valley but she is not, I met her in this area and she has been helping with dealing with the demons around here since then. ”
Jayden lied without the slightest hint of panic, while both the men became wary of Hecate’s real identity, if she had a ring like this and could deal with the 3rd Zone demons then she surely wasn’t someone ordinary, they decided to be careful around her and even looked at Jayden strangely.
*CRIEEK*
Then they were all attracted by the cries of the young demon who was still captured inside the cage and was furiously trying to get out of it but with no success as countless wounds had appeared over its entire body.
” Jiggy go kill it, we have to move now we might actually end up in danger if more than one 3rd Zone demons come here after hearing its cries,” Bruce said, as he controlled the cage and made a small opening at one of the corner to let him kill it safely.
” W- What? I kill it? Haha… Ha, I- I don’t think I am feeling too well. ” He said and took few steps back, and only now did the others noticed the big yellow stain on his pants, making him look disgusting.
” Tch, coward weren’t you excited earlier to kill this demon and now you peed your pants? Heh, pathetic. ” Bruce said, saying all this so that Jiggy could no longer try to speak to Hecate.
When he remembered about the stains on his pants, Jiggy’s face turned bright red, as he hastily ran away to change into different clothes, he couldn’t believe that all this happened in front of such a beautiful woman.
” How long are we going to travel with them? ” Hecate walked closer to Jayden and asked in a whisper, when she got closer her sweet scent hit Jayden’s nose making it difficult for him to keep a straight face, but being the experienced man that he is he replied in a normal tone:
” Just for some time, as long as they are valuable. ” Hecate nodded and Jayden could not guess her thoughts at all, he wondered just which emotions among the ones she had shown to him were actually true or if they were all just deceptions.
Bruce then walked towards the lizard like demon and acting extra tough he killed the demon easily with just one wave of his short sword.
After giving one last cry the demon fell and finally died, Bruce removed the cage and then took out the core from its body and placed it in his pouch, after which he walked back near Jayden, by now even Jiggy had returned wearing a new set of uniform but he could no longer look straight towards Hecate.
” We can start our journey now, Ms Ming let’s go. ” Bruce said and looked at Hecate acting like a perfect gentleman, the four of them started their journey they were walking at a normal pace and all along the way Bruce kept trying to strike up a conversation with Hecate but each time he was met with silence and coldness.
But now Jiggy didn’t even have the courage to talk to her, wetting his pants at such an age, what could be more humiliating than this.
While they weren’t paying attention Jayden took all the cores in his spatial ring and felt delighted that he was so easily able to obtain two 3rd Zone demon cores, he also praised these two men for their stupidity, thinking that this is how men act when they don’t use their brains to think instead think with the thing between their legs.
While they walked they came across several 2nd Zone demons and Jayden or Hecate didn’t have to lift a finger as both the other men displayed their manliness and killed any demon that they encountered while giving almost all of the cores to Hecate trying to impress her.
” You know, when I had just been admitted to the academy I was even able to defeat a student who was on the ranking list at that time. ” Bruce boasted while raising his head high into the sky, but Hecate paid no attention to him and kept walking forward, her expression cold.
” Yeah right, I wonder what was the name of that ranker? ” Jiggy snorted and began to call out his lies, making Bruce panic. Hecate walked away from them and arrived beside Jayden after taking a glance at him she spoke:
” Are you going to spare them? ”
” Of course, I won’t kill them, at least unless they try something but accidents could happen anywhere and anytime. ” He said even at this moment there was a small portal opened near his palm out of which he kept absorbing Nether energy, he rarely ever stopped absorbing it.
” And thank you for the clothes, ” Hecate mumbled, she really liked wearing these new clothes.
” It’s fine, I didn’t really need them anyway. ” He said and all this while he hadn’t even glanced at her, making Hecate sure of her observation that something had definitely changed about him but she couldn’t understand just what had made this difference.
” Let’s stop here to eat, then we will continue again. ” Bruce walked forward and spoke while wondering just how close they really were, as he felt a little jealous.
” Okay but we don’t have anything with us, you can prepare the food. ” Jayden said and walked away with Hecate leaving behind a stunned Bruce, while Jiggy laughed at the older man saying:
” I wonder who is the helper here? Cook something good for me too. ”
