Chapter 492: Lucky
After killing one of the demons, Bruce came running towards the injured old man to help him, seeing this Yash finally heaved a sigh of relief and backed away from the demon and began to look over his injuries.
After fighting a 3rd Zone demon Bruce was already a bit tired so it took a little more time to defeat the second one and he even sustained some injuries.
After a long battle, he was finally able to kill the demon then he fell back on the ground and panted heavily and only after some rest was he able to stand up after which he walked towards the old man, he looked around to locate Jiggy but after not being able to find him he asked:
” Where is Jiggy? Wasn’t he hiding just around here? ”
The old man was wiping off his wounds and applying some medicine over them, since Jayden had taken two of his most important treasures his over – all battle strength had decreased by a lot, so now he was not even able to hunt a single 3rd Zone demon.
When he heard Bruce’s words, Yash suddenly panicked and looked to the side while saying:
” H- He was killed by that d- demon when I was f- fighting it, t- that demon COUGH COUGH suddenly attacked him. ”
” What? H- He was killed? Don’t bullshit me, the demon was clearly busy fighting you, don’t tell me you… You- Did you use him to buy yourself some time? ”
It was not hard for Bruce to understand the situation, baldy’s death was already bad enough but now with the death of both the rich men, he was sure that if he returned then he would definitely be killed by their families in the most gruesome ways, and he can’t even use Jayden as scapegoat now, this filled him with rage as he looked at the old man with a murderous look.
” W- Wait, it wasn’t like that, I- I was just t- trying to hel- ”
The old man began to make excuses but Bruce paid no attention to his words and marched towards him, both of them were injured but the old man was in no shape to fight back, so under the old man’s constant begging Bruce hit him again and again until the old man’s body had been completely destroyed.
Only then did Bruce returned to his senses, and when he looked at the corpse he was suddenly filled with fear that Jayden might kill him because he had killed one of his slaves.
But there wasn’t anything he could do now, he took the cores from the bodies of both the demons and then ran in a different direction hoping to hunt at least one more demon so that Jayden wouldn’t get angry at him.
***
At this time Jayden had sensed the presence of another demon, so he decided to hunt one more demon before it got dark.
Hecate started the conversations with him several times, trying to get more information about him but each time Jayden would just say some thing off the topic and end the talk.
They travelled for over an hour and finally, the presence of the demon was easy to locate, when he flew towards it they heard the sound of fighting, he concentrated and found that two 3rd Zone demons were fighting Currently.
So he waited some distance away from both of them and just observed their fight, both of the demons were injuries but it was clear that the one with more injured on its vital organs would die first.
And just as he had expected after waiting for over half an hour the battle finally came to an end with the death of one of the demon.
It seemed that his luck was really going all out since the demon he had just found was gravely injured since it had fought against another 3rd Zone demon, and finally managed to kill it after a long battle.
” Bravo, what a champ you are. ” Jayden slowly landed on the ground just a few meters away from the demon who was lying on the ground and could barely move, and because of its inability to move it was yet to devour the core and body of the dead demon.
*GRRRRRRR*
The demon released a low growl warning Jayden from attacking it but it was just a bluff, ignoring it he walked closer to the dead demon and took its core and then he faced the other one and spoke:
” No hard feelings, but this is it for you, you were a great warrior, now rest in peace. ” After saying that, Jayden walked closer to it and killed it in a single strike, after which he took its core too and then placed it in his space ring along with the corpses of both the demons.
” With this, I have collected 9 demon cores, I wonder how many the others will bring. ” He mumbled and walked back towards Hecate.
” Let’s continue the hunt tomorrow, I also need to absorb these cores for now. ” He said and then took her hand, they searched for a better place to stay, after which Jayden created a small cave in less than a minute and created a couple of arrays around it.
They walked inside and then he prepared the food, after eating it Jayden called Eve out and gave her the cores of a couple thousand 1st Zone demons and a couple hundred of 2nd Zone demons, since he was in a good mood then he took out all three of the cores and without paying Hecate any attention he began to absorb them.
Almost a third part of the new energy centre would be finished after absorbing these cores, not paying any attention to his surroundings Jayden focussed his mind on absorbing the cool energy from the cores and watched how it travelled across his body and then became a part of the energy centre.
While Jayden and Eve both were busy with their own tasks, Hecate sat on the bed and watched them both with an emotionless face, she had noticed that Jayden barely interacted with her and whenever she tried to talk he would just end the conversation one way or another.
‘ Is he still disgusted thinking that I too had eaten human brains or did he know something about my identity? Haa And people used to say that guessing what I’m thinking is impossible, while here is a man so mysterious and unpredictable. ‘
She thought curiously looking at him, it was as if the more of his secrets she came across the more she would want to know about him.
‘ Well it wouldn’t be bad to stay with him for some more time. ‘ she thought and lazily crawled closer to him then using his lap as her pillow she fell asleep, while adjusting her body to get a comfortable posture.
Eve first ate all the 1st Zone demon cores, she just needed to throw them into her mouth and as if it was a black hole, everything disappeared in an instant.
