My Otherworldly Shura Field

Chapter 86 A Miserable Situation

"Father, Father!" Rubia cleaved open the cage with her sword and rushed inside, overjoyed to see her family again.

Rubia's father was chained up, and two of the chains went straight through his shoulder blades. The blood on his clothes was not yet dry, and the wounds reopened with the slightest movement.

His appearance was also very miserable, with disheveled hair and bloodstains all over his body, indicating that he had been whipped. He was very weak and swaying, as if he would die at any moment.

It's unbelievable that the king of a clan would meet such a miserable end after being dethroned. The Wolf Fang Clan is truly ruthless; they can even turn on their own people, and even their own king. They are truly cold-blooded and heartless!

This perfectly illustrates the saying, "A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs," and the hero's life has come to an end!

"Ruby, Rubia?" The middle-aged man slowly raised his head upon hearing the familiar call. What came into view was a haggard face, blood trickling from the corner of the mouth, and filthy.

However, his eyes alone were weathered, deep, unyielding, and proud, as if nothing could break him, not even the eighteen cruelest tortures could make him flinch.

Indeed, to become the king of a clan is no ordinary person. Although he suffered humiliation, he remained proud and indomitable.

"Waaah, Father, how are you?" Rubia knelt before the middle-aged man, tears streaming down her face like a floodgate bursting open. She was a pitiful sight, her face streaked with tears.

"Oh, you silly child, you still have time to worry about me. Although I don't know how you got here, since that guy hasn't come back, hurry up and leave. Take your mother and go far away, the farther the better. Don't worry about me anymore." The middle-aged man sighed. Although he was in a difficult situation, his love for his daughter remained the same. He was more worried about his daughter's safety than himself. As long as his beloved daughter was safe and sound, he had no regrets.

"Waaah, Father, you don't know, Mother and I didn't get very far before that bastard caught us and brought us back. Now, Mother is imprisoned, and I can only endure this humiliation and live on. I don't want to escape alone." Rubia cried, her eyes filled with tears.

"What? Your mother has been locked up?" The middle-aged man's expression changed, his chest felt heavy, and he felt a lump in his throat, unable to exhale or exhale.

Rubia nodded through her tears and continued, "Not only that, that bastard actually forced Mother to marry him, and the date is set for three days from now."

"What...! Pfft!" This time, the middle-aged man finally couldn't hold back his anger and vomited blood. His aura instantly weakened, as if he had aged decades in an instant. A surge of anger arose spontaneously, and his heart was consumed by rage.

Not only did they take his throne and torture him in every way, but now they're even going after his women. No one could stand that.

A sense of powerlessness welled up within him. He used to be the Wolf King, high above all others, an invincible force. He never imagined he would end up like this, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.

He hated it, hated that he didn't have the power to protect his loved ones. Why was that?

Is this fate, destined to bring misfortune upon their family?

His fist clenched so tightly that his fingers dug into his palm, piercing his skin and drawing blood. This agitation tore open the wound on his shoulder blade again, and blood flowed like a stream.

However, he was filled with rage at that moment and didn't care about any of that. Physical pain was nothing compared to his hatred for the enemy.

"Oh! What an unfilial daughter! I'm here! Why are you making your old man so agitated? Be careful you don't accidentally die, then you'll have nowhere to cry." Lucifer couldn't stand it anymore and walked over from a short distance away.

Sure enough, Rubia trembled upon hearing Lucifer's words.

Yes! How could I have forgotten such an important thing, making my father furious and anxious? It was so foolish of me.

It's all her fault for being too weak. Seeing her father in such a miserable state made her forget everything. It seems her heart isn't strong enough, and she still has a long way to go.

"Who are you? Stay away from my daughter, or I'll make things difficult for you." Seeing Lucifer approach, the middle-aged man suddenly became alert, his blood surging with unease, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He was the Wolf King, with the purest bloodline, making him more sensitive to vampires. However, vampires had been absent from the continent for a thousand years, and their consciousness had faded.

Moreover, Lucifer did not reveal his true form, so he naturally could not imagine him as a vampire and would only regard Lucifer as a dangerous person.

"Don't be nervous. If I were to harm you, would you still be alive in your current state?" Lucifer smiled slightly, leaning against the wall, completely unconcerned about the middle-aged man's tone.

“Father, don’t worry, he is my friend Lucifer, I asked him to help.” Rubia hurriedly explained the whole story, and the middle-aged man immediately understood.

However, his gaze toward Lucifer remained unfriendly and filled with vigilance. After all, he was the Wolf King, with keen insight and a keen eye for people. He would not easily believe that Lucifer would take such a great risk for the sake of friendship.

Lucifer looked very young, about the same age as Rubia, but he felt that Lucifer was too dangerous, as if he were hanging in the jaws of a tiger, which made him very uneasy.

In the past, he might not have been afraid, but things were different now. He was like a tiger fallen into the plains, and anyone could kill him. He dared not be careless, even though Lucifer was Rubia's friend.

In his view, Rubia was still too young and inexperienced, and easily deceived. He couldn't let it go unchecked; he would rather be in deep trouble than have Rubia and Lucifer stay together.

But just as he was about to speak, a dangerous aura approached, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Rubia, run! That guy is back! You can't handle him!"
