Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant-Chapter 719 244 - Fateful Night (Part 7)
Because of the sudden growth of his arm, the monstrous boy ended up grabbing the baseball bat instead of just touching it, and while the blue-skinned woman's expression was turning furious, he stuck out his clawed index finger and...
"Sagitarrius."
*%@#!#@@^$%!#* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
He said as his pupils turned into thin vertical lines and an eruption of spiritual energy blasted right into the blue-skinned woman's face, pushing her back into her four-winged dragon and then sending both of them flying back.
"..."
The monstrous boy glanced at his oversized arm and frowned.
He might have pushed the princess and the dragon back, but he didn't manage to hold onto the baseball bat and his broken fingers were the best proof of that.
Still, the flesh bones, and claws all mended back into place within a heartbeat as the law of Virgo that the boy never deactivated was doing a far better job than ever before.
*SQUELCH*
With another bone-chilling sound one of the boy's legs also grew to a disturbing size as he put it forward, clearly aiming to walk to the disheveled Strawberry standing up on Nexivroh's paw using its clawed fingers to support herself.
The dragon princess didn't look wounded in the slightest, the energy blast didn't manage to leave even a scratch on her blue skin but even so, she seemed utterly bewildered bout what happened.
"What's with that face? In my little Kaaraal's memories, I was throwing you around like a ragdoll that one time you picked a fight with me."
The monstrous boy snickered, showing off three rows of teeth as the dragon transformation progressed steadily.
*SQUELCH* *thump*
The cute tail lengthened a dozen times and slammed onto the ground instantly making the boy look much more like an actual dragon than a human.
"Hmph. That was in a different timeline, don't get cocky just because you managed to surprise me once."
Strawberry scoffed, clenching her fist on her baseball bat, ready to counterattack when all of a sudden the night filled with the distinct ozone smell, and a strange pressure caused the air to tremble.
All four beings present tensed up instinctively agreeing to a truce without actually voicing anything.
As they did a fifth being simply appeared right next to the transforming black-haired boy as if it had always been there and it was the only place it belonged to.
A faceless platinum-haired girl in a simple dress.
The guardian of the stars. Guide.
"Ah~ My Heavenly Star Warrior you are growing at a much faster pace than I hoped for. How is it possible for you to keep impressing me like that~?"
Guide tilted its head and its voice simply appeared in the minds of everyone around it as it reached out its slender hands and touched the boy's monstrous face.
Despite being the faceless god itself, the aura that Guide was giving off at the moment was brimming with warmth and happiness.
"..."
The vertical eyes of the black-haired boy expanded into big circles and despite not saying a thing, the miniature silver moon above his head disappeared causing the beast transformation to revert.
The next second the black-haired boy with an injured face and ragged clothes continued to gaze upon the expressionless visage of the guardian of the stars. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but at that exact moment something unlocked in his brain – a single memory returned to him.
A situation much like the one they were all in right now.
~He was running somewhere full of hate and fury and a horrible pain spreading from his freshly wounded face was only fueling it more.
He tripped and fell down face-first, increasing his agony, but when he was crawling up the air already smelled like ozone, and the girl without a face was crouching in front of him.
Just as she was doing to the present him, the faceless girl reached out and held his face.
"I'm sorry. It will be a while until you realize why I am doing this, but I promise you it is for our future."
The faceless girl's thought appeared in his mind back then and all of a sudden a strange void appeared in his mind as his memories disappeared in a flash.
"...my stomach already hurts at the thought of how jealous I will be just watching from the sidelines, my Zoemi..."
While he was losing consciousness another thought appeared in his mind and the faceless girl pressed the place where her lips should be to his forehead.~
"...!"
"Don't say it out loud."
The black-haired boy in the present flinched and was about to gasp but Guide pressed its finger to his lips and shushed him playfully.
"I am pleased with your development so I will not return the rest of your memories yet. Keep up the good work."
The faceless god pulled the boy's head down and climbed up on its tiptoes and pressed the place where its lips should be to his forehead before letting him go and turning around.
"Princess Strawberry. I ask you to not bully my Heavenly Star Warrior. In exchange, I will look into a way to locate Perseverance."
"..."
Guide said to the blue-skinned woman but she only bit her lips and stared at it in response.
"My position amongst the gods is low so I hope you will give me some time. Maybe go and establish yourself at the white tower in the meantime?"
The faceless god tilted its head and its thoughts resounded in everyone's heads.
"..."
But the blue-skinned woman didn't respond and merely squinted her eyes in suspicion carefully observing the otherworldly being.
"I could crush your skull so much that it would take all of this world's energy for you to recover. I also like crushing skulls of liars and imposters."
Strawberry's expression turned even more severe and she declared while resting her baseball bat on her shoulder.
"That information will not make me change a thing."
Guide was not intimidated in the slightest and even puffed out her chest while responding. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
"...pffft... You got guts, little girl. Fine. I shouldn't have teased Unbreakable, to begin with anyway so I will take my leave. Nexivroh."
"Yes, princess."
Strawberry snickered and shrugged her shoulders before jumping up and landing gracefully on the four-winged dragon's head.
"In case I will be needed, I will be in the white tower."
*WHOOOOOOOSH*
The blue-skinned woman declared before she and her dragon left the other three in the crater on the side of the mountain.
