The Transmigrated Professor

Chapter 61: The Mysterious Soldier

'Clack!'

Ray woke up in shock as the noise echoed across the tunnel.

'Shit! Are the demons here already?'

His leg was looking much better, but there was still some pain left. Judging from its condition, about 6 hours must have passed since he fell asleep.

Grabbing a rock, he slowly stood up while taking support from the wall.

Pointing his fist, which was desperately clutching the rock, he shouted in the direction where the noise had come from.

"If you think I will return with you nicely, don't even try..."

However, all that greeted him was silence.

The light from the moss was too dim to make it more than a few meters into the tunnel, so he couldn't tell who was watching him.

As Ray was about to yell at him to come out, a figure slowly began walking out of the darkness.

"Y-you..." However, betraying his expectations, what had walked outside was not a Demon, but a human.

"I didn't realize human etiquette had changed to yelling at one's savior, instead of thanking them, to show their gratitude." The human that had just appeared teasingly smiled at him. A smug look covered his face as if he were a leader saying 'If you get down on your knees, I won't punish you too badly'.

It was the same spoiled young master look Ray was all too familiar with, thanks to his younger brother, Edward, who would consistently make indirect jabs at him, to feed his ego.

"Who the hell are you?" Without letting down his guard, Ray carefully asked him.

The man before him was quite tall, with a tidied face. His clothes looked like they had been materialized straight out of the Pre-Apocalypse history textbook - consisting of a camouflage color military uniform, complete with a matching hat and black leather boots.

One noticeable feature was that the man seemed to have heterochromia - one eye a deep midnight black and the other a golden sun yellow. It was like looking at a loving angel and a tempting devil at the same time.

But despite his magical looks, Ray couldn't even sense a hint of mana coming out of his body.

And that was why he was even more vigilant.

There was no way a human, who looked like he just stepped out of a WW2 movie, would be able to come alone to the home planet of Demons and survive here if was a normal Unawakened.

And Fallens were infamous for their ability to hide their corrupted mana.

Maybe the Demons following him had gotten bored and decided to send one of their Fallen subordinates to come capture him.

"Oh! You are welcome by the way." Flicking his hand, the human threw two items at his feet.

Checking what they were, Ray's knees suddenly buckled, as he fell to the ground in horror and almost vomited the non-existent food in his stomach.

The two items the weird soldier had thrown at him were the mutilated heads of the Demons that had been tormenting him for the past week.

They were horribly disfigured, as if they had burst every blood vessel on their face, and had their brain leak out from their ears like a sewage pipe.

"Great! You know how to show your gratitude." Mistaking his near fainting as an act of kowtowing, the man smiled in satisfaction.

"Bye now!" Waving him goodbye, the intruder turned around, about to go back into the tunnels from where he had appeared.
