Chapter 99 Fear for her life(Pride edition)

It was extremely scary for Pride.

Holding on her arms there was Deva who was lazily gazing upwards where one can only see the foliage of the trees that were covering the view of the sky, sometimes a ray of sunlight would land on Deva's eyes.

But just behind them, a few hundred metres from them, there was a woman dressed in white with her bloodshot eyes following them.

And sometimes with her hoarse voice she would yell at them, especially at her with threats and death sentences. At first the Saintess started with promises that she would forgive her if she dropped Deva but then after awhile she started to treaten, describe all the tortures she will give to her and then just straight out tell profanities unbefitting of a saintess.

But what scared Pride more was that after a few days of non-stop pursuing the Saintess started to smile perversely and focused entirely on trying to strike at her with her aura, there were many times that she was almost hit by the mad Saintess but everytime Deva would move and deflect the attacks with her own aura.

Pride was scared for her life, it is the second time she is feeling this way and it is way more intense than the first time, and unlike the first one where she only received some threats and mild glares this time she is the current target of a yandere.

Pride can only shed invisible tears and continue the fun for Deva.

"Why was I even selected..."

Turning her focus on the horned woman Deva spoke with a carefree smile.

"I mean, you are the most fitting one to play this role and there is only Greed that can rival you on speed."

"Then why you didn't pick her?"

Giving her the oddest look Deva said with a perplexed tone, "Because she is a mother, obviously! What do I have to say to her...husband?wife?....nevermind uh to her partner if she were to die..."

"Are you kidding me?!"

"I'm dead serious here.There are no certainties in life that you might not die even if go outside to take a walk. Greed already made a family on her own, Chastity and Lust are together while the others are searching a partner on their onw way. While you...You not only refuse to spend time with others but after you finish your work you just isolate in your room and spend the night there! How can I not take advantage of this event to make you leave and have the chance to have new encounters!"

"How can I have new encounters if there's is literally someone behind me with the intention to kill and dance on my corpse-Hiiih?!" A bright beam threatened to pierce Pride's head but with a laugh Deva deflected it by a small margin and looked like that the Saintess missed by a few inches.

The two women, one terrified and the other with an amused expression, glanced behind to see the Saintess gritting her teeth and clenching her fists and her aura skyrocketing toward the sky melting the leaves on its way.

"Not only you take her from me but you are also trying to seduce her?!Unforgivable!Unforgivable!Unforgivable!Unforgivable! Are you doing this on your own accord or it is the will of the Demon Queen of yours! AH!Hahahahah! Why are you not talking?! Tell me! Do I need to take it from you?ah?!"

In Pride eyes Lucia seemed a starved beast on the verge of losing to its hunger and rage while in Deva eyes she was so cute and adorable that she wanted to tease her more, to test her and see what she is capable to do if surpassed a certain line.

With a much louder voice enough for Lucia to hear, Deva wrapped her arms around Pride's neck, buried her head on her shoulder and said, "M-miss I'm so scared! Y-you won't drop me, right?!You promised you will take care of me..."

Not only this made the horned woman almost rage but almost spit out blood the moment she heard her own voice from Deva's mouth.

"Don't worry my precious, after this I'll take care of you until death set us apart.You won't even need to think as these hands can do more than holding you..."

"Ah!Ahhhh!You!You...Death is too lenient for you!Yes!Endless torture for those who get in between our love!And you Deva...Hahah!I won't spare you either.I'll make so that-"

While Lucia was becoming more enraged and louder, Pride almost had the urge to throw Deva but didn't do it instead she was in the verge of crying.

"Dear lord, why...please give me the strength..."

"Aw, look, isn't she too cute?"

"Cute?You call that cute? Look! Despite everything she said she is still creepily smiling with wide and bloodshot eyes!Look closely, that blood in her clothes? That's blood from the animals she ate to not starve while following us, look more closely at her teeth, that's right they're red!That's disgusting!"

"My dear Pride it seems the target of your disgust is not really listening to you, more like she is too concentrated on well rampaging...Anyway what I want to say to you is that you should try to find someone that you can see as a partner you are going to be miserable you know?"

"We are returning to that topic?!"

The three rapidly went through forests and passed by human cities towards the direction of the land of fairies, the place where Vilinielle's party is also going in that direction.

More days passed and despite the exhaustation the Saintess persisted and still followed the pair while unleashing hell to her surroundings. She didn't care about her image in the other sections nor bothered to think about it and only focused on following the back of Pride.

Pride was also exhausted having drank many stamina potions, mana potions and strengthening potions for days without sleep, while Deva was monitoring Lucia's conditions.

"According to Core's report we are now near Vilinielle's camp and more importantly Lucia is already in the verge of collapsing so just a push and she should faint. It's time for my stop Pride, drop me here and you can-woah!" Without hesitation Pride threw Deva and after ripping a scroll she disappeared from Deva's sight.

"This is perfect!" Deva intentionally proclaimed loudly.

"Mm?What's perfect little one?" A sweet and coy voice echoed near her and revealed a pink-haired woman whose lips already landed on Deva's body for a second before stepping back to ascertain something.

"I-I...Haaah what's this?I can't..." Deva who just landed, was already acting and played along.

"Mmm...My power still hasn't returned in its full potential. But let's see what we have here, mmm six out of ten but...your eyes! I give seven just for those beautiful eyes!Lily!" Vilinielle clapped her hands and a cheerful girl appeared near her.

"Yes?"

"Escort her and bring her to the other soon-to-be slaves."

"Okay...." Lily reluctantly helped Deva and dragged her towards their camp, "Don't resist it sweaty, just give in and just by listening to her command you will feel the best feeling in the world!" Lily said with her voice coated with honey.

As the new pair escorted Deva in their base, a pair of bloodshot eyes trailed behind the figure of Deva.

"Wait for me."
