Hunting the Creator

Chapter 71 Progress

Crossing a vast steaming desert, Nadain began to take the heat too hard, her vision blurred, and her mouth felt like sandpaper. The arm that had turned into jelly when hitting that tree was now a stump. Because of the lack of advanced technology and a healer not being included in her one-man force team, her arm had to be amputated, and veins burned closed with a glowing hot rock.

A punishment for messing with a demon, she was now terrified of being mad at the demon. And the demon knew it full well as it smirked along the whole ride in Nadain's head.

For the demon, she looked forward and laid down in the mind space she had created herself. Thinking back to a world where she was a dark cultivator and her companion beside her, and just behind them her beautiful black steed. How she missed those days.

This world will be one that I will deviate from the story to a whole new level. The demon thought as she noticed some desert beasts charge towards the dehydrated Female Lead and chuckled. This little world's child is finally at her breaking point.

The actual demon that was supposed to possess the female lead was supposed to give her everything and make sure she grew to her full potential to eat her up in the end. It still abused her here and there by tormenting her sleep and hitting her with haunting hallucinations. Bringing up the powerlessness she felt when her father was killed and mother was kidnapped, never to be found again even after growing strong and exacting her revenge. Nadain had gone through so many tormenting hallucinations and nightmarish dreams of her fears and weaknesses that once she had met the Male Lead, she was a husk.

But of course, due to "true love" she was able to regain her light in those brown eyes and get the demon extracted and placed into the unfit to rule king of Redore Kingdom. King Kaspar Redore, a pitiful King that was labeled as a heretic trying to bring down his own kingdom to aid the demon lord in conquering their entire world.

But that wasn't the case at all, sure he was evil to the bone, but in fact he was simply a puppet controlled by the shadows, he was weak minded and easily manipulated to bring their kingdom down to hell and "achieve" his dreams of living in a world where he held no responsibilities and drowned in both wealth, status and lust with his 20 concubines. And regretfully that didn't go as plan in the slightest. The puppet master's had planned the King's doom to the T, but in the end, someone had come to stop them. And since they never revealed themselves, they weren't punished. The Main Leads came through with their rebellion forces, captured the puppet King, inserted the demon into him and threw him into the deepest part of the kingdom's dungeon.

[Master, the soul is nearby, somehow it escaped my sensors and is currently heading our way, it will reach us in three days.] Nelli spoke up with a surprised tone.

Why? Shouldn't he not know of me until later when we first meet, or is his soul evolving? The demon thought, confused.

[I also am not aware of the circumstances, but it might be due to his soul growing stronger with each world he has gone through like master has.] Nelli spoke its own thoughts.

If that is the case then the female lead will not be broken like I'd want her to, and she'll be saved yet again. The demon said with a frown. There's always some outside force helping these halo holding bastards.

[May I suggest giving the Female Lead a hypno pill until the soul leaves?] Nelli offered.

No, that won't we a wise choice, I'll have to keep feeding her the pill, and knowing the soul a bit too well, he'll stick to my own energy which is inside this sack of horse piss.

Getting a headache the demon looked through Nadain's eyes as usual and saw her looking towards the ground. Blood dripping from her lips and falling towards the scorching sand.
