《Devour》Chapter 30: Little Helper

Advertisement

While the villagers can not appreciate The Reaper and the Little Angel of Death enough, Jio briefs everyone on what's happening and wants them to relocate far away from the Blood Moon Cult main altar. He requests them to warn the other communities and people they come across and sends a message to Dino Strong that everyone must strike the Blood Moon Cult's main altar to end the war.

"Dark One our savior.... punish... your teaching... sacrifice..... rule... the..world..." The cult member mumbles words and saw Lala playing with the beetle on the ground.

"Hey, little girl," The cult member quietly let out to get Lala's attention and continue, "You know that he's mad at you, right?"

Lala looks at the guy and asks, "Wut u mean?"

"You see, earlier you didn't listen to The Reaper, so I know he's mad, and I also know how to deal with it," The member whispers and continue, "You see, the High Priest ordered everyone to stay, and the people who didn't standby... Their souls are taking away! So I know, he's mad at you."

"Weally?" Lala curiously said.

"You just need to do a knife trick, and I know a few moves that might work," The cult member said.

"Well, you can't is-cape with G-O's soul weapon," Lala let out and asks, "Wer, knife."

"You see the bag over there?" The cult member said, pointing with his lips, and continues, "The knife is inside with a red gem."

"And?" Lala asks.

"And... I show you a trick he'll like and won't ever get mad at you again... Like forever!" The cult member answers.

Lala nodded excitedly and grabbed the knife that the cult member asks.

"I have the knife," Lala announces and asks, "Wat do I do next?"

"Use the knife and stab me," The cult member said and looked at Lala, "Don't worry, it won't hurt me."

Lala looks at the guy, and the knife went through the member's chest. The Blood Sacrifice starts to absorb the man's blood as he laughs, getting Jio's attention. Jio rushes towards Lala and grabs her, with Jon morphing into a ball to protect the two, but the explosion still gets through and burns Jio's back.

Jon is too small to provide protection for two bodies.

Jio realizes that the one he's hugging is Bm, which makes him happy since she's no longer in the Jestterfly's cursed.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to use the knife..." Bm said as she stares at Jio since he didn't let her go yet and looks at the burn on Jio's back.

"It's alright. I'm just happy that you're back," Jio let out.

"Listen carefully, I remember everything that happened to me from the day I lost my memory, but the little me won't remember any of this. My body is still trying to adapt to the Jestterfly's curse since those bugs have existed since ancient times and make sure we reach the main altar... The Dark One is sealed inside my master's body! The High Priest is trying to break the seal...Take care of Lala, okay?" Bm briefly announces as she tries to stay on her normal body.

"So... You like the name, Lala?" Jio randomly asks, knowing that asking the Dark One's location is more important than asking about the name.

"Funny, funny that you ask that question," Bm let out and smiles.

Before Jio could say something, she already turned back into a little kid and looks like she has just woken up.

"Geo, what happened?" Lala asks and eventually remembers what happened and continues, "I'm sowwy Geo...I didn't know what he did... I just wanted not to make you mad."

"It's okay; I'm not mad... I'm not severely hurt," Jio said and thinks about what Bm told him about her master's relationship with the Dark One.

The villagers quickly check The Reaper and the Little Angel of Death if they're alright and watch The Reaper stands up looking at them.

"Remember what I told you guys earlier? It's time to go!" The Reaper said as he hides the burn.

Staying in the village, Jio starts cooking inside the empty hut since everyone left and heard Lala's rumbling tummy.

"Sounds like you're hungry," Jio let out.

Lala notices Jio's back burn and tries to do something about it by putting healing ointment that she once received from her master, but the way she applies the cream is like her making a hand-painting without control that hurt Jio's.

"Lala?" Jio let out, looking at her.

"Ya," Lala innocently answers.

"It's all good now," Jio answers and expresses his gratitude, "Thank you."

"Weally?" Lala let out.

Jio nodded

"I'm hapwy to help," Lala smiles.

"Well, your the best, that's why," Jio smiles back.

Lala blush and said, "Geo, when I grow up, I want to marry you."

"Silly little girl," Jio touches Lala's head and messing her hair that made her make her mad face, but she likes it at the same time.
