Chapter 464: Escape

Chapter 464: Escape

"Master, let's fight, with our strength we can decimate them all." (Orion)

"I know that, but we can't do that right now, so just be quiet on my shoulder as I run." (I)

"There is the Devil, take him in Baldr's name!!!" (Templar of the Church of Light)

"IN THE NAME OF BALDR!!!"

"KILL THE DEMON!!!"

"WE WILL DO JUSTICE TO HIS HOLINESS Archbishop GALARETTO!!!" (Templar of the Church of Light)

"KILL THE DEMON!!!"

I was running alone through the streets of a city with thousands of soldiers running behind me, many were riding on white horses, others were running on top of the detailed ones, there were also some who were running without mounts behind me.

I could feel the killing intent of thousands of people behind me, when I looked back I could see the hatred and disgust in these soldiers' eyes.

I can't tell if they're like that because I'm someone wanted by their Religion, because I'm a Vampire, because I look like a Demon, or just everything together.

I actually don't think they know I'm a Vampire, plus I forgot the title "Heretic" I got from Baldr when I turned Vanessa into my daughter, but I didn't know the effect of that title was so intense.

"YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY YOU CRAZYS, STOP FOLLOWING ME!" (I)

"Why did this crap have to happen, I just wanted a smooth ride..." (I)

"Let me go to them, if we kill everyone we can go back to the trip in peace like you wanted..." (Layla)

Layla is tied by one of my ropes and in one of my coat pockets, this little Demon is red-eyed and unleashing truly strong murderous intent, I can't leave this monster free to do whatever he wants in the middle of a city.

"Shut up, you psycho Demon." (I)

"Do you really think I'm stupid enough to let you do genocide in the middle of a city?" (I)

"There's more attacks coming, master!" (Orion)

"Damn it!" (I)

"< Cape of Blood >" (I)

I cut the palms of my hands and control my blood to leave my body as it wraps around the lines coming out of my hand, then in a matter of two seconds, a half-liquid, half-solid red cape is created as I throw it to my back and fall. attach to my shoulders.

After months of training and perfecting this technique over and over, it finally became a skill, thanks to which it became much easier to control and maintain this cape.

The cape transforms into several red crystal shields that fend off all attacks from these fools running after me, then back to their cape firm.

I'm still wearing an outfit that hides my body and a mask, I'm also running because I don't want to wear my wings in front of people.

If I hadn't been careless before, none of this would have happened.

I run to the closed city gates and have a squad of hundreds of armed Church of Light army soldiers waiting for me.

I keep running at full speed, when I am 40 or 50 meters from the gate, I accumulate my Ki in my legs and use my jumping ability to go hundreds of meters high over the walls.

"As long as we're in town, I'll remain hidden within your shadow Nix, so even if there are any Church of Light informers in town, they won't notice me." (I)

"That's what I call role reversal hahahahaha..." (Nix)

"..." (I)

"(Why did it all have to end this way...)" (I)

I would like to just throw the blame on Layla, but she was only part of the problem, all of this happened due to an unforeseen variable of factors.

----------

The city of Barilla.

One hour before.

We have been traveling for almost a month now, we finally arrived quietly in the city of Barilla, which is our stop before the port city, which will take more than half a month to arrive.

Against all my expectations, our trip was pretty smooth if we don't count the monster attacks and bandits we killed along the way.

We have avoided entering the villages and as we initially planned, we came straight to this city where we will stay 1 or 2 days to try to buy some things.

But as soon as we enter the gate we go straight to the town square because I heard a soldier saying that there was a food stall that sold delicious food.

While we were in the square, we see that there are many street stalls everywhere, some are food stalls like the one where we buy this delicious food that looks like meat, but there are also several stalls that sell different things like masks, books, accessories, weapons, ingredients, etc.

Everyone split up to look for interesting things to buy for fun as we weren't in a hurry and were going to stay in this city for a few days, I found the masks interesting and approached the two stalls that were selling these masks.

One tent had monster masks and the other had very pretty ceremonial masks, I had Orion in the baby monster form on my shoulder and Layla flying around me.

I was wearing a hooded outfit that hid my entire body, a mask to hide my face, and crystal horns.

Even if my appearance is suspicious, it didn't matter, one thing I've learned since coming to this world is that many people try to hide their appearance from nobles to criminals, spies, and even adventurers.

So even if I look a little suspicious it doesn't matter, even in this town if I look around carefully I should see at least one person using able to hide their appearance.

What caused my problem was that I saw a large number of soldiers with Church of Light symbols coming down the street, there were some people wearing white armor not far from me who kept staring suspiciously while eating something from the street stalls.

But at this point in a prank by Layla, she grabs a mask from the store and takes my mask off to put the other one in place, before I can say anything or stop her.

This was an oversight of mine as I was distracted seeing these people in white armor reminiscent of the Templars I saw in the games.

When Layla took off my mask this Templar looked at me in surprise, but soon his expression changed to one of hatred filled with a murderous will, then he let out a scream so loud that it ran through the entire city giving orders to all the soldiers of the Church of Light that gather with great speed as they chased me.

An inn in the city of Barilla.

Night.

I was out of Nix's shadow watching the night sky through the window.

"What were these soldiers doing here? Besides, why so many?" (I)
