Transmigrated As The Final Villain of a Death Game-Chapter 138: The Slave Boy [ 1 ]

Feeling the constant poking on my chest, face, and everywhere else, I opened my eyes with a slight frown.

"You know I’m just sleeping, right?"

Clementine exhaled a relieved breath and backed off.

"Thank god... Your injuries looked really bad, so I thought—"

"Let me stop you right there," I interjected, and while using the tree as a crutch, I stood up.

Everything still hurt, but it wasn’t as bad as when I first landed.

With my regeneration alone, I was sure I could make a full recovery in a week or two.

"As you can see, I’m fine. The horns are a bit of a problem, but nothing a hat and some practice can’t fix."

She pouted slightly.

"You’re treating this like it’s not a big deal. Let alone your appearance, aren’t we being hunted by the Holy Knights now?"

I shrugged.

"We’re probably being hunted by the whole Western continent now. Every single city is going to be surrounded by Holy Order soldiers, and at best, they’ll start patrolling the skies too."

"I know that. But what happens after we’re done here?"

Ah.

That’s right.

We still needed to have a life.

But as it stood, no continent was safe. Changing our appearance wouldn’t do much either, as they had detection-type Gifts.

In the end, it seemed like we had made an enemy of the whole world, both humans and demons.

Letting out a chuckle, I brushed Clementine’s hair.

"We’ll figure something out together."

I channeled a tiny bit of Red Lightning into my palm, cutting it open slightly.

Her brows twitched as she immediately understood what I was getting at.

"I’m already healed up."

She spun around, showing me her body.

"See? There’s not a single scratch on me. As for you? Come on, Amon..."

I let out a sigh and licked off my own blood with a slight pout.

Then, the two of us chatted a little about our next steps, and of course, our main goal right now was to reach the healer.

Afterwards, we needed to drop off a couple of bodies to the Vermillions, and ultimately... we’d be able to head back home, or try to, anyway.

So with that in mind, I flew up slightly, ready to start heading to the healer.

Yet instead of following me, Clementine suddenly got up from under me and picked me up as though I was a child.

"...What are you doing?"

"You’re more injured than I am, so I’ll carry you."

Clementine...

"I’m not that injured."

"So what? Does it hurt you so much to be carried by me?"

Right as I was about to reply, I noticed a smile on her face.

She was teasing me.

"Hehe."

"Don’t worry, I’ll let you stand on my Soul Weapons. I’ll take us very high up, so we might be able to make some distance and maybe even avoid the Holy Knights."

I exhaled a relieved breath, and once she let me go, the two of us blasted off above the clouds.

Since the healer was far west... we had a long journey ahead of us.

***

A week flew by in the blink of an eye.

By now, my injuries had mostly healed, and my eyesight had returned to normal.

The only problem? I still looked like a demon.

Oh well... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

I whistled to myself as I glanced at one of the cities ahead.

Clementine had changed her appearance and ran in to get us some more normal-looking clothes, and even a few hats.

It’s been nearly an hour, and I was getting a little worried.

But before I knew it, she phased out of the ground and smiled at me.

"Got us some nice stuff. Also, I saw some powerful-looking people in the city. They seemed to notice that I was using my Gift. Though, I don’t think they can track me if I phase into the earth."

That was to be expected.

We narrowly dodged a few Holy Knights because of my Mystic Eyes.

Even so, I quickly switched into the clothes Clementine had bought me and considered the progress we’d made.

We were around 70% of the way there.

This city was right by the mountain range we needed to enter.

The Pandora Mountain Range.

A mountain range which had extremely high mountains, as well as really weird weather.

Climbing 2,500 meters and seeing a never-ending desert with toxic rain was just the start of it.

More importantly, there were a bunch of high-Grade monsters, treasure hunters, and ancient human clans.

I didn’t remember much about the human clans, since they didn’t appear much in the game.

But among common knowledge, apparently, the ancient human clans were way more developed than regular humans, both in technology and in combat.

As much as I doubted that, I simply adjusted my collar and put on the large hat which made me look ridiculous, and even more like a demon than before.

So I tossed the hat inside one of my dimensional rings and nodded at her.

"Are you ready to keep going?"

As she was about to reply, I abruptly stepped forward and raised my hand, catching a flying dagger out of thin air.

SWISH!

Twisting my body around, I hurled it back where it came from, boosting it with my Telekinesis.

The dagger slammed into tree after tree, cutting them cleanly, until finally arriving at the person who threw it.

Yet as the dagger was about to pierce the attacker, I suddenly stopped it, realizing just who it was that threw it.

Frowning, I turned into lightning and reappeared in front of the attacker, who was sprawled out on the ground with his eyes closed, fearing that the floating dagger would kill him.

It was a kid, probably 10 or 11 years old, with overly long black hair and shabby clothes.

For someone who could throw a dagger with that much power, he sure didn’t act like a kid.

Still, he was riddled with injuries, and he even had a chain around his neck.

A runaway slave?

"Mind telling me who you are?"

The kid flinched, then gazed up at me.

Once he saw my crimson horns, he turned pale.

"H-How the hell is a demon here? D-Don’t even try eating me, or I’ll call my sister!"

Alright, bud.

"I’ll let the Vampire Empress talk in my stead, then."

I backed off and bowed in Clementine’s direction.

Noticing what I was doing, she rolled her eyes, but still decided to play along.

An evil smirk appeared on her face as she eventually approached the completely pale kid, then leaned down.

"What are you doing here, boy?"
