Chapter 334: Shelty the Pure and Innocent Maid

Taking out something slippery and wet from his pocket, Desmond casually threw one of Weston's body parts to the ground and replaced it with the small flesh from the ground.

He looked at the dirty Weston's flesh with a hint of complexion," Quantity is better than quality if it comes to absorbing energy," he spoke dissatisfiedly while glancing at his stats.

A notifications history window panel was hovering along with his stats.

[Absorb completed!]

[Gained 1% from the target total energy!]

[Randomly gained 10% from the target total strength and agility!]

His stats already surpassed an average 3rd class swordsman; with his custom skill, he could reach beyond the realm of 4th class swordsman. While his total energy was equivalent with a 4th class wizard if it exists.

However, all of those classes were missing, replaced by one sentence, a Dragonslayer class.

"At that time, I chose this class because of the regeneration ability, restoring back my hand and preventing me from becoming a disabled person.

"Now, I stuck without any further knowledge about this class." He sighed and muttered desperately. The book that was recorded about Dragonslayer class only has information on how to advance to 1st class.

As for the rest, there was nothing left, buried along with the passage of time. In addition, many things were waiting for him, from collecting a dragon essence to recovering his used life span, now figuring out how those fantasy creatures came to this world.

"From what I remembered, the book contained an elf language," Thinking back at the time when he faced Shelty, he suddenly realized," From the look, she may have a connection to my class."

Desmond, that forgot or discarded Shelty, then glanced at his map. On the way to Helmfirth city, he found a solo mini blue dot that was moving slowly. The blue dot only reached ¼ from its destination, and it seemed it was her.

"She is too far, I can't take her, but I need her memories," Although Annie already wiped out Shelty's memories by using some familiar scene or maybe bringing her back to her place, her missing memories might be regained back.

Desmond then closed his eyes, focusing his mana on flowing in the air. The control and the consumption of using magic messages were easy if the target party was near.

However, Shelty was still near Capital City; there should be more than a 5000km distance between them. It was impossible and fruitless if someone dared to attempt like Desmond unless they had large energy or equal to 3rd class mage.

In the case of Laura, when she contacted Annie, it was Desmond who helped her to send the message. Although his trait was restricted him too much when sharing or lending energy, it still worked with Laura energy as the base.

The color on Desmond's face slowly became pale. The sweat that came out from his body actually froze upon touching the ground.

His eyes brow was extremely curved along with an apparent thin line of a strand of his energy, coming out and kept advancing, moving to reach Shelty's position.

After several hours, the sky was still dark, but Desmond suddenly opened his eyes.

Shetly, it's me, your master.

While waiting for her answer, Desmond glanced down and found his clothes already drenched with sweat. Even though he was focused on connecting with Shelty, he did not lower his guard to the surrounding.

He took the time to glance behind; seeing those girls forgot about their turn to guards, he shook his head. These abandoned buildings did not have a roof and door, making Desmond, who sat across the house, could observe the surroundings while guarding those girls.

Desmond then noticed their body sometimes shivered due to the cold wind; when he tried to use his spell to create something covering the house, he heard a voice ringing in his mind.

Y-Young master?

From the other side, Desmond could hear and feel Shelty fear and trembling voice.

From your tone, it seems you already knew the situation, right?

There were no responses from her for a few minutes.

Yes, young master. I-I don-t knows where to go.

Desmond could hear Shelty start sobbing; she must be very tired after the long run and leaving the people she knew for years.

L-lady and l-ord i-s sacrificed themselves only to send to the young master. Carlie, sh-she died amidst the bombardment of a poisonous potion.

Desmond patiently hears all of her plight and story. His expression kept changing at each of her words, mentioning one by one those combat maids names. Only after several minutes, Shelty finally calm down.

Y-Young mast-er? I'm sorry! I don't mean that b-but

It's okay, I understand. In fact, my parents are thought of as a rock; it's impossible for them to die in that pathetic war, Desmond spoke confidently. He did not randomly spout nonsense as he could see many blue dots were spotted on the sear near capital City.

R-really?

Of course, now let's end here. I, with the others, already ran from Helmfirth city. You should head to the outer beasts' territory; we will try temporary hide on there.

W-wait young master!

Shelty suddenly sent a shouting tone to this mind; then, there was silence descending for a moment while Desmond could hear she was murmuring something.

Outer-Outer, ah! Outer beasts' territory. From what I see here, this is the young master escape route, and this is the outer beasts' territory. The location must be in the southwest of Helmfirth City.

Desmond listened to her words in amusement. She could judge the situation by placing herself and understanding from his position and pinpoint the location.

Young master? Young master? Can you hear my voice?

AH, ye-yes.

Great! Are you heading to the southwest of Helmfirth city? Am I right?!

Exactly, you have to do a great job. Somehow, he found teasing the pure and innocent Shelty was a bit fun. Unlike Annie and Laura, Shelty mind is still pure due to her memories being wiped out, and also talking to her also made him could release some burden on his mind.

Nevertheless, it was different when it's come to actions; Annie and Laura were still more useful.

Be careful on your way. Just follow the map and try to less interaction with the people. Your figure and long ears are quite attracted to those merchants.

Yes, young master!

From her loud and cheerful tone, Desmond could guess, she was excited to meet with him again, but it would take a long time before it happened.
