Chapter 54: Gallantry And Resolution

!!!!

Vera Sidorov opened up her pair of zircon-like gems she had for her eyes, her hand quickly moved to search for her Rose Eagle Thorn and she didn't find it.

Raising her guard to the max, she moved her gaze around the room... darkness covered the entire room but she could still distinguish shapes.

Noises came from outside the room.

Vera noticed that a blanket covered her body and she still wore her bloodied clothes.

It didn't take her long to find her trusty knife, it was to the side on a table, covered in rags.

She immediately took it, at this stage, she felt uncomfortable when she didn't have this knife on her body.

"Where am I? Sasha?" 

Her mind sought after the last memories and her countenance quickly fell.

"Yes... I... escaped that place." 

For weeks they had been fighting their way through, she faced the creature many times, but not even once she managed to cut any of the vines completely... taking that monster on in impossible.

But even then... Vera Sidorov wouldn't surrender, she had already made her decision.

Therefore, without giving further consideration for anything, she took her filthy backpack, her knife and covered her head in rags.

'They might still be hunting us... I don't know how long has it been and I don't even have a way to tell, but it doesn't matter... guys... I'm coming...' 

She departed the room only to find herself in what looked like a massive party with demons... as disgusting as ever.

Some of them directly sat on top of human bodies, but she didn't pay attention to this, perhaps, already too used to the sight or adapted to the environment.

This is hell, so what? this is where she lives now, she's not a weakling like them.

Attracting some people's attention as she departed from the boss' room, she was stopped by a demoness with crimson red skin and a single horn.

"Why are you leaving Sasha's room?" The demoness, Andrea, thought that the boss' prey is escaping and intended to take her back to the room.

"Move..." 

!!!

But Vera's bloodied visage stopped her from doing anything, the woman's eyes seemed to contain a bloody glint, and the moment the Rose Eagle Thorn showed itself coated in blood, she gulped heavily.

'She's scary! a protector!?'

With her fears taking over, Andrea moved aside and allowed Vera to go out of the pub with a forehead covered in sweat.

Is that really a human? she thought she was in front of a beast that would devour her at any instance.

**

A few hours later, the purple-skinned demoness came back to her pub with a few bags in her hands.

When she entered her room, the demoness witnessed the empty blankets and immediately snorted.

'Vera... you can't stay in one place for long can you?!'

Leaving the bags in her room, Sasha immediately departed to look for Vera, only to end up encountering the flustered crimson demoness outside of her room.

...

"Sasha..." Andrea figured Sasha must be pissed that her 'prey' escaped, more so if it was a protector... but for some reason, the 'prey' argument didn't seem to convince her.

There is no way a demoness like them could defeat a protector.

"Where is she?!"

"She left... I... didn't expect you to get a protector..." 

Andrea didn't receive an answer because Sasha rushed out straight away.

'Fool... what if they catch you...!'

**

"I didn't expect to see you here so soon, girl."

Vera's first destination was a weapon shop, covered to the head with rags she entered it and showcased her lifeless expression to the dwarf demon that sold them her companion before.

The demon smirked when he regarded Vera's appearance, she knows nothing like the weak and innocent appearance she used to have, the person in front of her resembles a demon more than the demon themselves.

'She didn't even bother to get rid of her bloodied clothes, this could get her the attention from the demon soldiers...' He contemplated.

"How long has it been since the last time you saw me, old demon?" Vera saw in this an opportunity, certainly, she could know how long has it been like this.

"A week at most... to think that you have changed so much in such a short while... or... I see... you got in the alleyways, a pity... as for your companions..." Upon regarding the change in Vera's expression, he stopped.

A trigger, he could only sigh, perhaps that boy he pretended to get 'protection' from... is no more either.

"Shut up... I'm not here to gossip with you, demon... I want to buy something." The lady said coldly and prepared to take out some amethyst coins that she exchanged, at a fairly great price might she add... she could still recall how they were mercilessly scammed back then, this is what a frightening appearance can accomplish.

"I see, then tell... what do you want? I also don't want to waste too much time, your appearance could get me in trouble..."

"Do you have anything inflammable? like alcohol?"

"... I do... but if you want something to produce fire, you could get wine or other beverages from the other shops at a better price, are you sure you want to spend this much money just to light something up?"

"Yes, I need something that produces way more heat than a beverage, if you have bombs of some sort, better..." if cuts don't work, she's going to burn that motherfucker.

"They're not going to be cheap." The demon immediately saw the opportunity to rip someone's limbs off.

"I don't care! I have the money!" And this statement only further fueled his avarice.

"Okay... I have a few bombs, girl... but, selling them is illegal, you might understand..." The demon snickered, ready to rip someone off

Alas... he was going to be surprised... because Vera didn't spend a week in the alleyways, she spent months, devouring and storing souls, moreover, she also had the core of the demon soldier that Valentine killed, which she sold for a little more than a million amethyst coins.

A beautiful golden card that she had.

"..." The woman stared at the products, already formulating her plans... what she's going to do, how she's going to do it... how she might perish during the whole ordeal.

And how she doesn't care about the latter part.

"Where were you?" Upon seeing the figure enter her room so casually, Sasha snorted, it's obviously Vera, still in her bloodied rags but with a backpack that seems to be full of things.

She had sought Vera everywhere but didn't find her, eventually hoping that the Russian beauty would just pop up here again, and she did.

"I was buying stuff..." Vera answered shortly after, placing the backpack on the ground and then taking a card that she threw at the bewildered demoness.

Sasha caught it, it's a card with 450.000 amethyst coins... a lot of money even for her who owns a business that despite not being completely successful, has income.

"What is this for?" Rather than to give to her urges and take it, she asked... right now, it's beyond money.

"That's a gift for you, Sasha... it was fun... I'll be leaving tonight." Vera didn't bother to take out rags, she'd have to get naked and she didn't want to get naked in front of Sasha.

Because Sasha has a preference for the other sex... yes, she likes women more.

And during their entire time together, she had made this very clear... just as she herself has also made it clear that she already loves someone. Whether he's alive or dead, that doesn't matter.

Therefore, perhaps in consideration of their newfound friendship, she doesn't want to give the demoness any false hopes. The latter is also not a little girl, she's a three thousand years old wicked demoness.

"Where are you going, Vera?" Sasha bit on her luscious lips, more than aware of what the girl is going to answer, but she still didn't want her to say it.

"I'm going back to the alleyways to save them" Vera said nonchalantly as if it was the most common thing in the world, and it was.

!!!

"IDIOT!"

Sasha lunged at her and the two girls clashed immediately.

"YOU CAN'T SAVE THEM! WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT IN THAT STUPID HEAD OF YOURS!? THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD!" She insisted, saying the same thing she has said dozens of times across their entire journey.

"SHUT UP, SASHA! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT NOT MEDDLE IN MY BUSINESS!"

*BANG!!!!*

*COUGH!*

After getting kicked right on her stomach, Sasha literally flew across the room and landed on her bed, there, Vera pin her down as she struggled.

"Y-You! H-Headstrong bitch!" Sasha struggled but was surprisingly unable to overpower Vera!

"..."

"..."

"Come with me, we can go and save them together..." Vera suggested, perhaps a part of her found companionship on this demoness, if she truly managed to save her two beloved companions, they'd surely slap her for trusting this demoness, but so far, she believes she hasn't chosen mistakenly.

"Why the fuck should I care about them?" Sasha rolled her eyes and struggled a little once again, here she goes again with her nonsense.

"I don't know... do you have anything better to do?"

"I could go now and get fucked somewhere... after this stupidity of yours, I really feel like having a good fuck... and you don't have a dick nor are you willing to please me, so..."

"Fool, you said you wouldn't do those things anymore, were you lying?"

"You were a whore once too... don't talk as if it's that easy to not go back, especially me who has been whoring myself for more than a thousand years." The demoness snickered as if she was proud of it.

"... I don't want you to go..." She has a point, but still, the Russian beauty thinks she's already over that period of her life.

"Whatever I do is not your business either... if you're not going to kiss me, get lost..." Sasha bit her lips and tempted the girl, she has already offered her this numerous times, even saying that she wasn't going to go after her soul... by now she's more than aware that Vera is a Bronze.

"Hmph, then do whatever you want... if you want to get fucked that much... go and get fucked, I'm giving you until the evening... if you don't come with me by then... Goodbye." Vera released the demoness and fell to the side, pretending that she was going to sleep.

"..." Sasha bit on her lips harshly and stood up, departing the room not before giving the 'sleeping' Vera a deep glance.

Vera wasn't sleeping yet... she just sighed when she heard the door close.

'We are not even that close anyway... but, she's the first demon that I can actually trust.... that must count for something.'
