The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 12: Chapter 55

Volume 12 Chapter 55 : Selga

"Young Master Taroma, we don't know either. It was just a while ago when the teleportation crystal seem to fail. No matter how we try, it won't work." The staff also felt very helpless.

"Thats really strange." Taroma looked around to find that there were not many spirits in the teleportation area, "Can't you think of another way?"

"We are trying hard, Young Master Taroma. Please go back to the castle and wait."

"Alright, alright." Taroma still wanted to find Lin Xiang. He could invite him to come over to play, and as he said before, he wanted him to be his guest. However, he had no choice now, but to give up and wait for the teleportation area to resume operation.

Taroma walked out of the teleportation area and saw many soldiers gathering in a direction. Taroma knew that they were going to rescue Margado.

"There's nothing to do." Taroma sighed a few times as he returned to the castle.

"Merry, cook me some porridge, I want to eat some now." Lying on the bench in his room, Taroma said to a spirit servant.

The servant was a maid who served Taroma. She had been there a long time ago, and had good facial features. However, she pretty much obeyed Taromas every order, which caused Taroma to not have any feelings for her. Instead, he appreciated people like Reidy very much. To put it bluntly, he was a masochist.

"Understood, Young Master, please wait a moment." The maid named Merry bent over and excused herself.

After Merry left, Taroma was the only one in the room. For some reason, he always recalled the words his father said and the strange look in his eyes.

Why do I feel that Dads worried about me when he was the one needing to leave for a long time?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem. Taroma stood up.

Walking along the corridor, Taroma felt that someone was watching him with ill intentions, but there were many servants in the corridor. It was impossible to find that gaze among them.

"It's probably due to me being upset about not understanding what Dad meant, so Im hallucinating." Taroma thought so, while he came to his mother's room, and knocked on the door, "Mom, I have something to do with you."

"Come in." A mature woman's voice came from inside the room.

Pushing open the door, the room was very spacious, with many flowers and plants inside. It was filled with a faint fragrance. Those who were clueless about the room would think that it was a small indoor garden.

A glamorous woman with a head of hair that could reflect light like a black pearl was sitting at the dressing table, combing her hair. Through the mirror, the woman looked at Taroma, "What's wrong? Do you want to buy something?"

"No, Mom, do you know what happened?"

"Know what?" Taroma's mother, Senna, never paid attention to major events in the city. She was always in the garden at the backyard, planting flowers, chatting with friends, drinking tea, and talking about planting experiences. She was a leisurely noble woman.

"Dad took the guards to rescue Margado. It's strange since he has never rescued other cities before. Moreover, before he left, Dad said some baffling things to me, like I was too young. Does Mom know what's going on?"

Upon hearing that, the comb in Senna's hand fell to the ground.

"Mom?" From the mirror, Taroma could see that the smile on Senna's mouth had disappeared.

"There's trouble. Huge trouble."

"Mom?" Taroma was startled by Senna's appearance.

"No, I have to inform the king."

"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Seeing that his mother stood up in a hurry and looked unstable, Taroma stepped forward to support her.

"The prophecy has happened, and there will be rebels among us spirits! Your father's friend, Lord Alvin of Catudor, told your father a terrible prophecy, and told your father that the only way to survive this crisis is to seek refuge in the demon clan. If we join the demon clan, not only can we survive, but also become stronger. You know about the demon clan, right? Its the one mentioned by Fire, who caused the fire in Delza, and the young spirits in the Deli Temple."

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mom."

"You don't need to know, you just need to understand that Spirit Country is facing great dangers now! Huge dangers! There are traitors appearing, and they are Alvin and the others. They plan to sacrifice some spirits. They were talking about it while drinking. Your father pretended to be drunk, causally ignored it and refused the offer. He even put on an act to not know about it afterwards. Your dad thought it was a small talk, so he didnt tell others, but it had been bugging him deeply. One day from a few years ago, he couldnt hold back and decided to tell me. If there really was a day when other cities needed him to send rescue troops, then the disaster has started. He doesn't want such a day to come. However, that day is now!"

Taroma was in a daze, but understood a little. At that moment, there was a clapping sound outside the door, "Madam, you are right, it is now. After waiting for countless days, it is finally here."

That was a voice that Taroma was very familiar with. It was his maid, Merry!

"What do you mean? Merry?" Taroma protected Senna, who was behind him.

"Young Master, do you remember which city I'm from?"

"Ca tudor! Could it be!"

"That's right, Lord Alvin arranged for me to come here. Although he and Lord Tasser are good friends, he doesn't want any surprises when it comes to matters of life and death. However, Lord Tasser did not stand on Lord Alvins side. Killing a city lord inevitably leads to investigation, so Lord Alvin sent me to lurk here."

"Do you think you will be my opponent? Merry, with just a single magic spell, I can make it impossible for you to escape."

"Young Master can definitely do that, but how many spirits can Young Master's illusion bewitch?"

Dozens of guards blocked the door.

"You guys" Taroma clearly remembered that those were the guards at home. They usually greeted him friendly, but at that moment, they all looked fierce.

"Young Master, weve offended you. Everyone is just trying to survive."

Taroma kept stepping back. Sweat dripped down his handsome cheeks. Could it be that Margado's current situation was very serious that his father and the others would also face powerful enemies? Moreover, maybe there were traitors among their soldiers. Why did such a thing happen?

"Heh~" A laugh interrupted Taroma's train of thought.

It was his mother's laugh and he had never heard her mother laugh like that. Her mother was a dignified and generous woman. No matter what, she treated everyone with a smile. And that laughter was addressed with disdain and contempt.

"Since I knew there would be such a day, did you think I didnt prepare for it?" Senna snapped her fingers, and the grass planted on both sides of the door grew rapidly.

The grass roots were as broad as a dragon's tendrils and they seemed to have gained spirituality, entangling itself around the nearest Merry.

"Ah! What is this?!" Merry was suspended in the air. Due to gravity, her skirt fell down, revealing her snow-white thighs, while the grass roots entangled her thighs and body. As Merry kept resisting, the grass roots just kept getting tighter.

"This is the dragon grass I raised, so that I can escape from your hands today."

More than a dozen guards were also entangled, while the door of the room was blocked by dragon grass. The guards who were not entangled kept cutting the grass with their swords.

"Let's go, Roma." Senna pushed Taroma, who had not given his reaction, "Hurry up, these grasses are afraid of water. As long as anyone of them hits with water, these grasses will disperse immediately."

"Oh, oh!" Taroma nodded, and followed Senna to the window. At the same time, Senna whistled, and a bird flew over.

"Didn't you hear that?! Use water! Use water! They're going to escape!" Merry shouted. A water spirit used water magic to attack the dragon grass.

"Hhong!" There was a loud noise, and the spirits who were walking on the street looked for its source to see that a certain floor of the fog castle, with huge tentacle-like plants emerging, crowding all the windows. Several of them were piercing through the walls.

"What happened?" Many spirits pointed at Fog Castle. At the same time, a bird flew over their heads.

"Idiots! Were really a bunch of idiots! How can grass be afraid of water! Use fire! Idiots!" Merry was suspended in mid-air and even her tears burst out, "Hurry up and use fire!"

Due to the water, the dragon grass grew rapidly, trapping all the guards who wanted to catch both Taroma's mother and him.

"I can't move anymore, call the people below for support." A guard shouted.

"I What's the round and hard thing under you thats pressing against my stomach?"

"A sword hilt, a sword hilt! Its you thats pressing against me, what kind of armor are you wearing? It hurts my chest so much! Ah, don't move. If you move, the grass will clench tighter." The two spirits who were tied face to face were about to cry, because they were in an ugly position. If they were tied to women like that, they would still be willing. Too bad, they were men.

"Mom, where are we going?" From the previous moment till the present, Taroma was still in a daze, feeling that he has experienced a lot that day.

"Didn't I just say, the kings castle, we have to ask Spirit King for help. If the spirits work together, it won't be so terrible to lose the battle. The most awful thing is that when some spirits are working hard to fight against foreign enemies, other spirits tend to backstab them."

"Indeed" Taroma understood that on the battlefield, fighting openly and sacrificing heroically would have a soldier die with no regrets. However, if the soldier was framed by close teammates, that was truly unacceptable.

"Mom, youre lightly dressed, will you be cold?" The night temperature in the demon realm was extremely low, especially now that they were still flying in the sky, making the cold current constantly blowing in their faces. Senna was only wearing a thin layer of gauze sleepwear. Taroma quickly took off his coat and put it on his mother's shoulders.

"Roma has grown up, hehe." Senna turned her head to look at Taroma and smiled. Suddenly, a silver light flashed across them and Senna immediately pressed Taroma down against the bird's back.

"Tip tap." Taroma felt a warm liquid on his face and reached out to touch it, which was sticky and had a fishy smell. His hands began to tremble. Taroma's gaze slowly moved down to see that Senna's chest was hit by a steel arrow.

Turning his head, several archers followed behind on flying birds.

"Apologies, Young Master, in order for us to survive, please die." With a smile on his lips, the leading archer nocked on the steel arrow and aimed it at Taroma.

"Bastard!" Taroma waved his hand, and several black shadows appeared. Those black shadows had no silhouettes. Just like wraiths, they charged towards the archers.

"Ah!!!" The bows and arrows could not disperse the black shadows, and the black shadows hit the flying bird. The birds were knocked off balance, making all the archers fall.

Taroma looked at his hands. Somehow, he could do that trick. Feeling unreal, yet real. Seemingly real, yet unreal. It was the highest realm of illusion, which was to turn the unreal into reality. Just now, Taroma had stepped into another rank of fog magic.

"Mom!" However, he was not happy. His hands were still tainted with his mother's blood. Quickly, he helped his mother up, who almost fell.

"Roma, youve really grown up." As Senna finished speaking, she slowly shut her eyes.

"Mom! Mom! No, don't close your eyes. Hurry up! If you can't reach the king's castle in a short time, I'll pluck all your fur, break your wings, and make you a flightless bird! Taroma shouted at the flying bird.

"Kaw!" The bird screeched and picked up the pace.
