Chapter 1146 The Prince's Resolve
Chapter 1146 The Prince's Resolve
-----
Gustav found himself submerged in an endless sea of darkness.
The pointy stingers of the demon injected a deadly paralyzing venom, completely paralyzing every inch of his body.
His heart was barely able to remain pulsating, but very slowly.
He felt afraid of everything, and constantly asking where his mama and papa were...
Everything happened so fast, he simply couldn't make sense of everything.
A second ago he was enjoying a day with his family, watching amazing craftsmen create incredible items while eating all the snacks he wanted.
And the next time, he was grabbed by something, something horrible and monstrous, and dragged away against his will.
He could still remember the screams of Paladin David as he chased him, of his father and mother as they screamed, looking for him.
Yet the only thing that was greeting him now was a dreadful future, his life was in the hands of somebody else now.
"Mama... papa..."
A child, what else would one expect?
Children take years to grow up, to develop, to become adults.
They're defenseless and must be protected at all costs.
Yet when adults fail to protect them, a child can only hope to die quickly and painlessly.
Such is the truth of life...
As he fell into a deeper slumber while being engulfed by the coldness of darkness, the child saw small glimpses of memories.
Of his many memories with his papa and mama, and the many good times he spent with them.
His mind, perhaps as a way to trying to help him cope with his current situation, constantly kept showing him memories.
And a series of memories from his mother appeared, several dozens of them.
When his mother revealed him her true powers as a Vampire, her Blood Magic, Dark Magic, and Curse Magic.
"This is the secret of your mama that your dad and only a few others know," Camilla smiled, showing her son her sharp vampire teeth. Both were inside his room.
"S-So you're a vampire?!" Gustav was shocked. "T-That's so cool!"
"Hahah! He's finally calmed down, that damn brat!" the demon laughed. "Now that nothing's stopping me, I'll be able to bring this amazing offering to that old man, and I'm sure my lord will be pleased as well."
The child of a Player and an NPC was a historic event, which was something not many really paid attention to. Young Gustav was a unique living being on his own, with the properties of Players and NPCs together.
And also having inherited both his mother's abilities and his father's lineage together into a single, powerful being. It was a perfect ingredient, a perfect body, and a perfect vessel for them to use.
"I have no idea what he wants with this damn brat, but that old man keeps insisting he needs a "new body" or something...!" laughed the demon. "Well, whatever the case, I'm outta here, yes!"
His tentacles reached the barrier again, the darkness that encompassed it only allowed demons like him to escape, leaving anybody else inside caged.
The tentacles reached the barrier, touching it, the demon slowly was about to get away!
Yet...
SPARK!
"GUH?!"
Crimson colored lightning surged from his tentacles, burning them and making him squeal in agony as he was forced to step back.
"UUGGH! W-What was that?!"
His eyes widened in pain, as he noticed something within him was fighting back.
The child!
Red lightning was constantly emerging from his body, hitting his tentacles and stopping him from paralyzing him with his venom.
"This damn brat is fighting back?! How dare he!"
However, the Demon was tremendously strong.
If anything, Gustav could barely annoy him...
Yet!
"{Divine Ward}: {Sealing Cube}!"
"HUH?!"
FLAAASH!
And in that split second the demon wasn't paying attention thanks to Gustav, Planta acted!
