Chapter 26 The Spirit Cat Clan
Chapter 26 The Spirit Cat Clan
A ruby-red disc slowly rises from the horizon, its dazzling rays connecting the mountain peaks in parallel, stretching from one valley to another.
As the sun rises in the east, its vibrant rays are lifted by the dark green mountains, casting their light upon the vast forest. The rising red sun illuminates the sea of clouds, creating a tapestry of vibrant colors, as splendid as brocade.
The sun, like a round button, emitted a dim red light, while sunlight, like freshly burned ash, evenly enveloped the grass and trees. Wisps of mist clung to the ever-changing green tree trunks, and birdsong could be heard among the branches and the enchanting sunlight filtering through.
"Thunder Flash!"
Just then, a clear female voice broke the tranquility of the early morning, and a bolt of silver lightning shot out from the little girl's slender fingertips.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the boulder struck by the lightning exploded like water droplets, sending fragments flying everywhere. Its power was undeniable and truly astonishing.
A day had passed since the battle with the wolves. To avoid attracting a large number of monsters with the smell of blood, Lucifer and Chris took the cat tribe chief and the little girl to another location.
This is a valley surrounded by mountains, with peaks soaring into the clouds and lush trees all around.
In the center of the valley is a circular lake, crystal clear, shimmering in the sunlight, sparkling with dazzling light that is hard to look directly at.
The fish in the water swam freely and were clearly visible, while several snow-white egrets rested on the surface, looking so leisurely.
Meanwhile, Lucifer and his companions were on the grassy shore of the lake. The severely wounded chieftain of the Spirit Cat Clan was still lying unconscious on the grass. His wounds had been given some basic treatment, and his clothes were stained red with spilled blood, making him look pitiful.
As for the little girl who had successfully transformed into a vampire, she had already awakened, and Lucifer told her everything without hiding anything.
However, to Lucifer's surprise, this little girl, who was only a teenager and looked delicate and frail, was actually very strong. After learning the truth, she did not panic at all, but was instead very relieved.
According to her, although she became a vampire, she felt lucky because she finally had the power to protect others. If she had been conscious at the time, she would have asked Lucifer to turn her into a vampire because she craved power. Fortunately, her sister made the right decision for her.
Moreover, due to Lucifer's special nature, with the blood of the true progenitor flowing through his veins, the little girl who transformed into a vampire can still live in the sunlight like a normal person.
Waking up early in the morning, bored and with nothing to do, the two of them, being easy to talk to, quickly began chatting. The little girl, in particular, was a chatterbox, chattering away incessantly, and Lucifer thoroughly enjoyed it.
You should know that she is an incredibly cute little girl; cat ears and a ponytail perfectly accentuate her adorable charm.
Previously, he could only see catgirl lolis in the world of anime. Now, he finally saw a real one. For this otaku, this world was simply heaven, a dream palace.
Suddenly, he felt that he was not unfortunate, but lucky. This was the world that suited him best, as if it had been created just for him.
Oh, heaven!
I'm so happy I could burst!
Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said. If I am not as good as heaven, who is?
Moreover, through his conversation with the little girls, Lucifer also learned about their race and names.
The little girl has a lovely name, Emily, while the unconscious girl over there is Emily's older sister, Lestia. They are from the Spirit Cat Clan; she is the clan's saintess, and her sister is the clan's leader.
It's hard to imagine that these two young people are a saintess and a clan leader. What's going on with the Spirit Cat Clan?
Are there no adults around? How can such a young child bear such a heavy responsibility? How much pressure must be on the sisters? Just thinking about Lucifer makes my heart ache. What kind of world is this?
How could such a cute little girl and a long-legged beauty be burdened with such a difficult mission?
When Lucifer learned the reason, Emily did not hide anything and gave a brief introduction to the situation of the Spirit Cat Clan.
The Spirit Cat Clan is one of the races living in the Monster Forest. The people are very weak and timid, and their reproduction rate is very slow. The entire clan has fewer than a thousand people, and they have to relocate and hide from each other every now and then.
The highest-ranking member of the Spirit Cat Clan is only level 20, placing them at the very bottom of the food chain in the monster-infested Monster Forest. It's easy to imagine how weak the Spirit Cat Clan is; it's a miracle they haven't become extinct.
Because of their weakness, the Spirit Cat Clan is frequently invaded by other races, including the Wolf Fang Clan, which is one of the reasons why the Spirit Cat Clan is so small in number.
In this monster forest where the strong prey on the weak, the weak can only hide and eke out a living, and if they are unlucky, they may be swallowed up by other races at any time.
This time, they were invited by the Wolf Fang Clan to form an alliance with the Spirit Cat Clan, which was like a windfall for the weak Spirit Cat Clan.
So, to show her sincerity, Emily, the saintess, went in person, while her older sister, Restia, also went along because she was worried about her younger sister's safety.
However, it seemed that fate was playing a cruel joke on them. It turned out that the Wolf Fang Clan did not want to form an alliance with the Spirit Cat Clan, but rather wanted to annex them and enslave them.
What's most infuriating is that the Wolf King actually tried to forcibly possess Emily, who is so cute and perfect, even though she's only ten years old!
As the elder sister, Laestia was naturally furious. Putting aside the fact that her sister had caused the Spirit Cat Clan to be annexed, she simply couldn't accept the idea of her sister wanting to possess her. Enraged, she led the Spirit Cats in a fierce battle against the Wolf Fang Clan.
However, the Spirit Cat Clan was relatively weak overall, with only twenty or thirty people. How could they possibly escape the pursuit of the Wolf Fang Clan? Countless clansmen were sacrificed along the way, and in the end, they were still caught up by the Wolf Fang Clan, leaving them with nowhere to go.
Their tribesmen sacrificed themselves one after another to protect them, but they still couldn't escape. Later, Restia fought to keep fighting the wolf pack, but one person's strength is ultimately limited.
To avoid burdening her sister, Emily chose to commit suicide. Later, at the last moment, Lucifer descended like a god and saved them from despair.
Lucifer, too, fabricated stories and rambled on, describing the events that followed to Emily in an exaggerated and fantastical manner.
He single-handedly fought off a pack of wolves, wiping them all out without leaving a single one alive. Emily was filled with admiration, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
She didn't mind at all that Lucifer was a vampire. In her eyes, Lucifer was not only her savior but also an invincible war god and an object of worship.
Lucifer thoroughly enjoyed the little girl Emily's adoration, his narcissistic expression never fading. He even boasted about his experiences in the Monster Forest with great interest, making Emily admire him even more and speechless with surprise.
Lying through your teeth and deceiving an innocent little girl is a crime and should be punished!
A sentence of imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than seven years shall be recorded in the personnel file.
