Chapter 239 238. Lack Of Communication And Tower Defence.

After a few minutes long "enjoyment."

Vassago walked up the stairs while hopping excitedly, making his way towards his contractor's, no, his "free" servant's father. Maybe because Vassago had Vinny's memories, he didn't think that the world was that fun to be in. Of course, Vassago was the only one who was able to think like that; if it had been any other demon, then they would have roamed around making the lives of the humans more pitiful than they already were.

And that was also why Vassago had mentioned in the contract that he would be in control only when the "Devilization" skill was active and that he would let his servant be "free" without any restraints.

KNOCK, KNOCK

"Hello, father~ your son is coming in." Vassago said and walked in to the guild master's room without waiting for any answer from the inside.

Inside the room, Norvin Glover was seen trembling in fear while leaning back on his armchair.

"Hm? Hahahaha." Vassago laughed heartily when the odour of pee trickled into his nostrils.

"Hahaha, haha, haa..." He had a great laugh. He then wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and glanced at Norvin Glover.

"There is only one question my contractor would like to know." He said this while staring at Norvin, who was staring back at the demon who claimed to be his son.

'I made the right decision that day.' Norvin Glover gave a pitiful smile; Vassago didn't know why, but he didn't like it one bit.

"Did you contact White Swan?" Vassago asked.

".... Yes." Norvin replied, what he said wasn't exactly a lie because he had contacted the Uncharted for White Swan's help, but it wasn't exactly true either because he had never even talked with White Swan; it was just that he had slightly hoped that the name White Swan would scare him off.

SPLURT!

And Norvin's head was chopped off, instantly.

"I can't believe your father killed your friends, Vinny." Vassago patted his left shoulder in a consoling manner and walked out of the room. It was also for Vinny that he killed off Norvin without much pain.

Though both of them didn't even know that they had just misunderstood things without a proper conversation. Vassago had asked the question about the time when, according to Eshwar, White Swan had killed Vinny's friends, and according to the vampires Vinny investigated, Norvin Glover was the only one who knew about the fact that Vinny's friends had turned into vampires.

Connecting both of them, both Vinny and Vassago concluded that the "client" White Swan mentioned was Norvin, who requested Vinny's friends be killed.

"The devilization skill will wear off in a few seconds; let's go and stare at a beautiful scenery to get this disgusting scene off of our minds." Vassago said and disappeared.

2 weeks later.

A gorgeous black-haired and red-eyed woman opened the door to a 20-foot room and glanced at a handsome white-haired elf-man lying on the bed with a peaceful expression on his face. The woman's brows trembled at the sight, but she held her tears in and walked back before closing the door to the room.

"He hasn't woken up yet?" Katharine's saddened voice sounded in front of Katline, who was walking with her head lowered.

Katline raised her head and smiled pitifully at her friend, shook her head while walking towards her, and hugged her tightly.

"What could have happened inside after we left?" Another sweet woman's saddened voice sounded in the living room at Katline's house.

"Haa..." A sigh escaped Katline's mouth when she heard that annoying voice again.

"Why are you here?" Katline released the hug, walked in to the living room, and asked while glaring at Seol So-Young, who had been coming to Katline's house ever since they rescued her from the spawning ground.

"Whhhaaatt? Why can't I? I am also worried about my baby, I mean, Eshwar." Seol So-Young said this while taking an apple from the fruit basket in the kitchen.

"Look! First, this is my house, so don't you dare enter it without my permission. Second, Eshwar is not your baby; he is..." Katline said and added, 'mine!' inwardly.

And as if to save her from the embarrassment that was about to come at her due to her stopping mid-sentence,

DING

[Wave (level 2), commencing in: 00D: 00H: 00M: 59S]

"Sh*t." Katline cursed under her breath, and her mind spun at top gear as she tried to find a way to protect Eshwar even when in the middle of the wave.

But nothing came to her mind, and to ask for help, she glanced at Katharine, and as if she knew what Katline wanted to ask, she shook her head, answering Katline's silent question, since there didn't seem to be any other option. She then glanced at Seol So-Young for a solution, but looking at the solemn pondering expression on her face, Katline gave up on her and began to rack her mind for a solution, when,

"Tower defence." Seol So-Young mumbled under her breath, jumped back on her feet, and stared at Katline and Katharine with a serious look on her face. Katline then remembered reading about the "safe house" being able to protect people from the wave, but she had forgotten about it because it had been a few weeks since the last wave. Though it wasn't something she would ever be able to forget, she had forgotten about it due to her worry about Eshwar.

'I can't believe that I couldn't think of something this bit*h was able to!!' Katline grumbled inwardly.

"Hey, your thoughts are written on your face!" Seol So-Young pointed out Katline, whose face was constantly changing its expression.

"Thank you." Katline said with a deadpan expression on her face and rushed to Eshwar's, no, her room to grab her weapons.

"At least be actually thankful!!!" Seol So-Young's yell was heard from behind. Both Katline and Katharine ignored her and rushed to get their weapons.

*

They discussed the plan and took their positions: Katline was positioned in the windows of the one-story building, Katharine was positioned right outside the main door, and because Seol So-Young had been practising a sword art Katline had given her with the permission of her father, Seol So-Young was positioned right next to Katharine.

Seol So-Young pleaded to defer, but of course, she was dragged out by Katharine while Katline pushed her out of her house.

Katline stared down at Katharine, who was resting on the wall while leaning against it, and at Seol So-Young, who was trembling and sweating profusely while pointing her sword at the street in the front.

"Good luck! I'll 'probably' protect you from above!" Katline said with a bright smile while showing off her bow to Seol So-Young.

"Wh-what do you mean "probably?" Oye!! Oii!!" Seol So-Young's terrified yell sounded from below, but Katline ignored her and took out the arrow, preparing herself for the swarm of demons and disgusting-looking zombies.

"Get ready!! Time's up!"
