Chapter 260: Threatened by Desires
“Gah!”
Oldren fell onto the ground without the power of his flame. However, he’s not as fragile as a normal human. After solidly hitting the ground from the sky, he stood up, confused.
Teren turned his head around, having a similar expression as Oldren.
“Huh? What?”
Trisha peeked her head out and saw that Oldren was just standing there with a dumbfounded look. He then looked at the sky and saw, behind a cloud, there was a figure looking down upon them.
“Deh- ack!”
Oldren was about to mutter a name but his face was met with Teren’s fist.
“What’s with you, you fucking chameleon?”
Teren punched Oldren again while he’s in a stupor from the first hit. Dropping onto the ground, Teren sat on his stomach and continued to deliver punches after punches while cursing.
“You motherfucker, I did all that for you to come at with your little flame? Want me to chop your daughter and cook her for you to eat? Maybe I’ll drag all your people into the deep ocean so that your head will cool off as your last moment? Is this what I get for saving you, huh?!”
Teren then began to elbow Oldren’s nose without the latter being able to fight back.
Trisha shrank a little since this was the first time she saw Teren like this.
‘Is he angry for me?’
She thought but that would be too good to be true, right?
Teren pummeled Oldren’s face until he’s unrecognizable while removing his every tooth at the front with every elbow as if that’s Teren’s target.
Only after Oldren’s face turned like a mess did Teren stop. If he seriously killed this man, then all his efforts would seriously go to waste. If that happens, what is the point of him going there? What’s the point of all the extra effort he gave?
Teren then stood up, although his frown was milder than earlier, he still wore a frown that intimidated Trisha a bit. He turned around and took out his phone as he walked away which Trisha silently followed.
After just a second of ringing, the person Teren was trying to call picked up the phone.
[Yes, who’s this?]
“Lina, it’s me, Teren.”s
[What!? Oh my god, you’re calling me!]
“The old chameleon’s unconscious right now. I want you to persuade him to agree to my terms whatever the method will be.”
[Eh? This is so sudden. I’ve been going into that man’s dreams every night, sucking out-]
“I know, if you succeed, you’re going to get what you want.”
[Woah, seriously!? You better keep your promise, that man’s going to beg for you tomo-]
Teren no longer wants to further hear Lina’s annoying voice so he hung up.
“Lina? What’s that she’s going to get?”
Trisha, unable to bear the awkward atmosphere asked. After a sigh, Teren massaged his forehead, not looking back at the man he just pummeled. His facial expression finally eased up before he tasted something bitter.
“Lina is a sex-crazed imp.”
That’s all that Teren needs to say for Trisha to realize the answer to her question.
“W-what!? That’s so fucking immoral! You’re paying her with sex!? What a fucking slut!”
Teren just chuckled seeing Trisha’s reaction. He raised his hand and placed it on her head.
“Sorry, did you get hurt?”
“… a little.”
Trisha nodded.
Meanwhile, above the clouds, Dehian was looking at this two while a bead of tear dropped on her expressionless face.
She wiped it as if it was nothing.
“After all you did to turn me into this, you’re experiencing the normal life we wanted, leaving me behind. So selfish, Teren.”
She then disappeared as a small cloud passed by.
…
“Hello, sweet Oldren.”
There was an infinite void within the realm of dreams. At that moment, a bed appeared before Oldren who just stood up. On top of that bed, a girl with a mask playfully rolled.
“You…”
Just seeing this girl, Oldren forgot about everything that happened. This is his recent secret, a place of enjoyment with no consequences. His mouth waters, imagining what was about to happen.
“You want to do it?”
“W-where is she?”
Oldren wiped the saliva that dropped from his lips. He wanted to forget what just happened earlier as much as possible.
Lina, the masked girl pointed her index finger up and a woman in sexy lingerie appeared behind the curtains attached to the bed.
“My love!”
Oldren ran up to the woman who is his wife, however, her appearance was when she was still in her prime. She was exceedingly beautiful and enticing with the addition of her bewitching clothing and movements.
Ever since his wife lost her youthful appearance, Oldren tried to avoid her in fear of lashing out. He’s aware of his hotheadedness but before, his wife’s beautiful appearance with her sweet words was always calming him down. Now, Oldren is ashamed to admit that his wife could no longer calm him down just because she lost her appearance.
One day, he was poisoned and fought it off but eventually, it led him into a deep comatose. After some time in the dream world, a girl appeared who brought gave him what he desired the most – it was his youthful wife.
Since then, he come to love that realm without knowing that his real-world energy was getting used up, hastening the weakening of his real body. However, even though he learned that already, that was a price he was willing to accept.
After all, seeing his wife when she was still beautiful again was worth it for him.
But before he held her into his arm, she disappeared like a mist blown away.
“Whoops, wait a minute, little Oldren. I haven’t said you can start yet.”
“W-what? Lady, what is it? I’m not in the mood right now.”
Oldren frowned.
“Hahaha! Yeah, I expected that since you offended Teren.”
“…”
Oldren’s eyes slowly widened when he heard the Devil Himself’s name from the entity that holds his deepest desires. At that moment, he knew that he had just fallen into a vicious trap.
“Say, you know what this is about. Give what Teren wants.”
‘So, he’ll give me mine.’
Lina gently bit her lip behind the mask.
