Peter felt speechless. He obviously got to know something strange but he couldn’t take another step forward due to his low strength and insufficient knowledge. He knew that his wife Jenny would be able to easily see through the things here. As for him, he is not enough yet.
The fight strangely stopped and awkwardness spread across the air. The giant creature was simply sitting down on the ground and was sobbing while the men also got no idea about what to do.
So, they regrouped in a safe distance and started chatting while making various guesses.
At that moment, the giant seemed wronged and was not even caring about the strangers who hurt her.
Little Lilith also didn’t know what to do. And, she started to get worried on how to explain her mother.
After all, she is still too young to think about other things.
At the moment, she just stood in place and watched the sobbing giant in distraught.
Nevertheless, she still felt that she had fulfilled what her mother told her to do although the giant got injured in the middle. Mommy should forgive me, right? After all, I am powerless. Lilith wondered.
Peter turned his head to look at Ben who was standing alone and was watching the sobbing giant.
The latter sensed the sight fell on him. He looked at Peter and pointed his finger at the giant while raising his chin and eyebrows at Peter meaningfully.
Peter could only shrugged back at Ben with a helpless smile. He got a bad feeling about this.
He didn’t want to evade nor hide anything. He was really confused at this time.
If his guess was correct, the soul of Lilith’s sister Luna should be residing in that mutated looking giant.
The two little girls’ mother should be a witch. For some reasons, Luna went missing at one day. Their mother immediately searched and found her daughter in terrible death.
However, as transcender, there should be strange ways for her to revive her daughter.
Thoughts flashed. Peter felt that he got closer to the truth. Especially, he thought about the things he saw in that small town called San Barrendo. Peter rubbed his chin and felt that it must be so.
That is definitely a bold trial to keep the soul alive while trying to revive the body with vitality. If one succeeded merging the nourished soul back into the body again, shouldn’t it be considered as rebirth?
Thinking about that, Peter felt that he was going in the correct direction.
Then, he suddenly remembered about the corpse of little girl Luna found in the abandoned building. Just when he wanna open his mouth and tell Ronald to go and pick up the body carefully, his sixth sense started warning him wildly. Unknown danger is approaching him. He could feel that.
Peter immediately used his spiritual sense to sweep the surrounding like a radar in a hurry. In a split second, he found out the source of the problem. It was a slender bone spear flying towards him.
It was driven by a strange spiritual energy and Peter could feel that it locked on him.
He didn’t bother to remind other people because it was just a bone spear and its target was himself.
As soon as he found the incoming attack, Peter quickly summoned out his big and thick shield and held it in front of him. It was what he did in just a second.
What the other people saw was just the scene of Peter suddenly taking out the shield. Then, they saw the bone spear hitting the shield at the next second. But, it didn’t even leave a trace on the shield.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Due to the great power carried by the slender bone spear, it crashed into pieces after getting into contact with the shield. It was no joke and one could see that the attacker had killing intents.
After the first attack failed, next one didn’t come up again. But Peter didn’t relax much.
His buddies were not also standing freely anymore. One by one, each held their shield and guns and looked alertly at the direction where the bone spear came from.
Unfortunately, they didn’t open up their seventh sense or exactly the spiritual sense yet so they couldn’t find the culprit. But Peter’s spiritual sense collided with the spiritual sense of a beautiful figure.
If Peter’s spiritual sense was spreading out and rolling back like tidal waves while acting as a radar, her spiritual sense was tightly condensing around her body like a suit.
So, Peter suffered a little in the collision. Fortunately, it wasn’t that of a big deal. He only lost a small part of his spiritual power and that was all about it.
The other party also realized that there were at least one strong transcender in the opposite group.
Peter looked at the woman who accelerated her speed instead of stopping to investigate her opponent first and sighed. Mother love is really great. But the comer doesn’t seem good for me.
He realized that he was going to take on that one job he hated to do again. Several thoughts flashed.
Women are troublesome. Especially, angry women are more troublesome.
Sure enough, what should come still came just as he guessed.
“Who are you? What did you do to my daughters?”
A beautiful woman in a black robe appeared in the sight of everyone. The customized black robe covered her upper body well. However, it didn’t hide her long and slender legs with jean pants. Although she was running in the woods, her white boots looked as clean as pure snows.
Coming to a stop at the distance of five meters away from Peter and also the spot between Peter and the giant, the lady waved Lilith to come to her. The latter immediately trotted towards her mother.
This little girl, she didn’t even say hello to me when she saw her mother. Peter’s lips slightly twitched.
“Ma’am, you can ask little Lilith about what happened. Furthermore, we didn’t intend to hurt the children. You have to trust on our knight oaths. As for injuring the giant, it was a pure accident.”
Peter touched his nose in embarrassment and opened his mouth to explain. At the same time, he whispered Ronald to bring the little girl’s corpse over with his spiritual power.
Peter felt that they might have to face a bitter battle if something happened to the body they left behind. He thought of what a desperate mother would do at some situations and wanted to explain.
Although he thought that possibility could not be high due to Lilith’s existence, he didn’t want to bet.
The beautiful lady pulled Lilith to her side after carefully checking her daughter with her spiritual sense. Then, she pointed at the group of guys getting ready for battle with shield and guns at the distance and asked sharply,
“If you’re harmless, what are they doing? And, why is my Luna injured badly?”
There it comes. Peter sweated and hurriedly said, “Ma’am, it’s all misunderstanding. Moreover, we didn’t know that you put your daughter’s soul inside that giant creature. So, we had to take ...”
Wait a second. It seems that I am not here to give explanations…
As he recalled something, Peter paused and said solemnly, “Ma’am, your daughter seemed to have committed killings. A patrol unit was killed yesterday. The request was already been sent out and we came because of that. As transcender, you must also know how the church would deal with the evils.”
Then, he pointed at the dirty claws of the giant and continued, “This is the evidence. The patrol car was scrapped and two officers died on duty last night.”
Peter stared at the woman seriously and said, “Ma’am, you must give us explanations. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety. Think about Lilith. You don’t wanna become a wanted criminal.”
The woman glanced at the giant’s claws with dried blood and dirt on them and denied, “Impossible. I know my Luna the best. She is just a quiet and patient kid. There is no way she would kill someone for no reasons. Yep, there must be something hidden in the story.”
Peter was dumbfounded. But the woman didn’t just stop at there and questioned him back.
“Can you guarantee the personalities of your officers? What if they attacked first and my daughter just happened to defend herself? You know the castle laws, right?”
Peter was almost choked. As a retired detective, he of course knows the castle laws. He speechlessly looked at the beautiful but shameless woman at the opposite and wanted to reason with her.
“Ma’am, the two officers were taking on night patrol duty before they were killed. And I don’t think that the corn fields at the outside of the woods and the road belongs to your family. Moreover, you can’t just enforce castle laws on officers patrolling the public road.”
“Corn fields?”, the woman muttered. As if she thought of something, a rare anger appeared on her face.
“Luna! Come here, right now!”
The giant turned the head to look at the woman and shuddered slightly but still moved the injured body over in the clumsy bear walk. Looking at the sobbing giant dragging the injured hind leg over, Peter’s world view got refreshed again. Still, he took out a green vial and threw it to the woman.
