Chapter 230: Fellow Demons
After the breakfast, Vritra decided to go out hunting. He was quite close to reaching the next level, and there wasn’t much to do in the castle anyway — the atmosphere there was quite eerie.
He told the crown prince about it, who arranged the carriage. Sonia planned to go out to the market today, so the prince decided to accompany her.
Soon, Vritra and the three women were seated inside the carriage. Because the chimera had exploded, the Dark Knight and Hellmancer needed even more time to finish their absorption since they had to absorb much more energy now.
It wasn’t long before they arrived in the ’Small’ forest. The carriage driver parked it there and went ahead to rest in one of the nearby hotels, while Vritra and the others entered the forest.
"Are we gonna follow the same routine as before?" Fiona asked.
"Yeah, just be careful while fighting. I will be close by and I’ll watch if the Grieves or anyone else is present around here." Vritra said as they walked a bit deeper into the forest.
Soon the two groups split. Vanessa, Fiona, Diana, Ghost, and Ghoul were hunting in one area of the forest, while Vritra went even deeper. Since he had already obtained the 2nd Legion rank stone, he was trying to find some way of gaining a lot of experience points.
"You know, when I was younger, I used to go hunting with my father, and he was so protective that once a demon hit me and I only got a scratch on my body, yet he burned down the entire nest of demons in rage." Yasmine spoke, remembering a time that had been lost forever.
"Yeah, I saw him in your memories, and he was indeed very powerful. But there is one thing that’s bugging me. Though I didn’t want to talk about it before since it might make you remember those memories." Vritra said while flying across the forest at a normal pace.
"It is fine, tell me. Between us, you don’t ever need to hesitate about speaking anything. I want to be the first person you share any of your secrets with." Yasmine replied, her voice sweet as honey, making Vritra smile.
