Chapter 205 - 205.Saving the saint animal

Kendra rubbed her eyes as she saw women doing the same thing as men but with animals, they gathered. The only difference these animals would die in their hands under huge pain and what they did was to put buckets of collected blood into one pond where few pregnant women bathed.

Soon a long line of men appeared and suddenly the women rushed out and under blood rain, an orgy started. Kendra couldn't believe her eyes. How did this happen?

She turned her head from the orgy and sent small whisp of power into the poor animal's heart extinguishing its pain and giving it its relief in death.

Even if her powers rose somewhat she was still too weak to fight them all, but it was enough to help the saint animal. Hopefully.

She floated slowly around camp and saw just two men that slept on the ground while holding their full bellies. She was about to attack them when the deer roared at her shaking his head and pointing at their bodies. Just then she realized their peculiarity.

Their bodies shone from inside out lie filled with energy. She whispered. ''Is the reason for their actions their greed for power?''

The deer nodded. It whispered slowly as his powers seem to have dwindled greatly as well. ''One has attacked me while ago and after I escaped he found out that with my meat they regain a bit of their powers back. Unfortunately after consuming my blood, they turned into the basic form of humanity. The ones that live day by day as monsters. Now they started hurting other animals as well and forgot why actually they even started doing that. Only those two in the corner seem to have somewhat powers and my guards. Please be careful. I can feel their powers but what they are is unknown...''

Kendra put her fingers on her mouth and slowly floated over their bodies. Then a crafty smile appeared on her face and the two ears on her head swiveled. ''I have an idea, but I hope to have slight help from you. Try to use some of your power to make their sleep deeper. I kind of can use this power to save you, the animals and myself on top of that. They did me a favor for not wasting your energies. Can you help me.''

Even tho this saint animal lived for a long time in the other world and was transferred here as protector if this one he was never in direct contact with many humans. After meeting many different kinds of humans in such a short amount of time he calmed down even if he knew what she planned was not a good thing. Somehow he trusted this strange girl. Maybe because of the ears?

The stag breathed in and out and then stomped with both front hoofs at the ground and a huge amount of power surged towards the men that were about to wake up from sudden noise and as the power enveloped them they fell asleep.

Kendra shook her head. ''Luckily that power is not wasted and is still residing in their bodies. Cloudy, come here sweety. I will help you to link you to these two men and you can feed on their powers while I check on these gates. Ok?''

Under astonished ayes of the sacred animal, the cloud came and cuddled near Kendra while she tried to make a connection between the two men and the Cloudy the cloud. Soon out many whisps of power a tiny tread appeared on those men's bodies and connected to the cloud. Slowly the cloud started taking the power from them bit by bit.

''Do not rush to drain them. Just enough for them to tun into humans again. Normal humans. I do not wish to kill them. Looking at their bloated bodies they would have exploded as their bodies couldn't anymore handle the amount of power within their bodies.''

The deer just looked at the two men and realized why they looked strangely. ''Why did they do this to themselves?'' He couldn't understand.

Kendra shrugged while taking the cuffs of his neck and hoofs that stopped him running away. ''Cultivators wanted to turn into humans because of the human's basic emotions. But they forgot among basic emotions are those that contain anger, greed and envy. Actually, as I am human, earlier or later those men that turned into monsters would have tried to kill these two out of many, anyways.''

The deer slowly approached the men on the ground and looked at Kendra with its big eyes. ''Why? Wouldnt they try to make them into their leaders or something?''

Kendra chuckled. ''Maybe if they thought like intelligent creatures, but are they acting intelligently now? After consuming your blood and body they turned into the ugliest case of humanity. Acting worse than animals. I will ask you now for a favor. Is it possible to heal them from the effects of your powers?''

The deer sighed. ''There is a way, but I would need at least one year to regain my powers to be able to do that. Now I am too weak.''

Kendra turned her eyes towards the cloud that became larger and larger. ''If we are lucky and the cloud grows enough big to get you out here, I could distract them as well a bit and save few more animals from their clutches. Then I would take you to the place where my sect is and you could just regain your power there. The people there are good and kind, I think you met a couple of them before on the mountain.''

Deer nodded. ''Yes, let's do as you say. Bring me to fire mountain and leave me there I know the place to hide and when you are back with others I will do as you say and will go to your place.''

Kendra turned again towards him. ''But I have to warn you. Everyone, including me, are carnivorous. From time to time we will go and hunt as we need meat. I hope you will forgive me.''

Deer sighed deeply. ''I knew that such a thing would happen anyway. As there are no other treats inside this real it is meant to keep the numbers of the animals in a certain amount. I understand that. I just hate to see and hear their painful cries and see them being tortured.''

Kendra shook her head. ''We will try to hunt it far away from us and we promise that we won't torture it. Actually we will hunt only because of food. Nothing else. We found something like a mushroom that could be a substitute for meat, but I do not think that would be a real answer for food replacement. Especially if this world is meant to become the world to raise children. Mushrooms taste good, but as much I could feel, the needed substances are not contained in it. So it is good to eat it most o time, but not for years.''

Deer looked at the cloud thinking. ''In my past world there were many plants that could stop humans, other animals and even many other creatures stop eating each other but it didn't. My heart is not that weak not to realize the simple truth. If this world is left to herbivores, there will be no balance at the end and it would die out anyway. So killing animals to survive is not something I am against it. It just makes me angry and anxious when I hear their painful cries.''

Kendra nodded as she saw the power being almost all drained from those two people, turning them into normal people. Soon the line between the cultivators and cloud disappeared and they slowly opened dazedly their eyes. As they looked around and the cold face Kendra they got scared. ''What happened?''

Kendra couldn't hold her anger and stepped forward. She rose her hand and slapped their faces again and again. ''You idiots! Hurting saint animal? Are you crazy? How did you dare to drink its blood and think everything will be fine? Do people from big sects use their brain or have heads only for air to pass through and make sounds. Idiots! Because your people almost killed saint animals, we were almost stuck in this realm. Everyone would lose powers as this plane would turn into the tenth level world. Yes! That is how the tenth level worlds become. They loose real power and the real reason for existence!''

When her real meaning entered their tiny brain they jumped from the floor not anymore confused, than scared. ''We didn't know this would have happened. We... wait what is that sound?''

In background m.o.a.ning and screams could be heard from all that mating. Kendra shook her head and jumped on the cloud that suddenly enlarged. ''Come on the cloud. I think you need to see what you people did to yourselves because eating the saint meat and blood.''

They were stunned at sudden change and slowly climbed on the cloud while saint animals just jumped on it. Cloud slowly rose and they looked at calmly standing child next to the animal whose wound just started to heal slowly and went silent.

As the cloud rose and floated over the opening their eye turned around and there were utterly baffled. ''This... What happened here? What is really going on?''

Kendra looked at them and then calmly at bodies on the floor wiggling like worms and had despising expression. ''This is what you get punished with if you give up the sane mind. Pure insanity and humans lowest point of evolution. Pure and utter anarchy...''
