Chapter 56 56 – General’s Rant
"Good luck, my lord! I love you so much!" Phisovia ended long-distance communication with her master.
Xenora, flying next to the general, asked, "So, when will Lord Vorn return, madam?"
Phisovia snorted. "There\'s an intruder in Silkdale city, so he\'ll check there first. Even he doesn\'t know when he\'ll be back."
"Well, that can be helped." Despite saying that, Xenora couldn\'t hide the look of disappointment on her face. "We can\'t only wait."
"Arrgghhh!" Phisovia ruffled her hair, then circled in the air. "I\'m sick of just patrolling like this! I want Lord Vorn!"
"Please calm down, madam." Xenora could only grimace at the behavior of her superior.
"I\'m flattered by him making me only his, so I won\'t be touched by other men." Phisovia continued. "But why was he talking about other things when he called me!? I don\'t care how much treasure that demon chariot has! I don\'t care if Ayre is going to study magic in Nueridge! I don\'t care if Szur still needs time for his fur to fully grow!"
Xenora couldn\'t help but be silent. She didn\'t know what to do because this was the first time Phisovia had been this angry.
Phisovia\'s breathing intervals were getting shorter and shorter. "At the very least, chat about intimate things! Don\'t just talk about work! I\'m sick of it!"
Xenora moved in front of Phisovia, making them stop, "Perhaps Lord Vorn just wants to take out what is in his chest. And he talks about those things with you because you are the closest person to him."
Phisovia\'s eyes began to become coated with a clear liquid. "You may be right, but I greatly miss Lord Vorn."
"I know how you feel. I miss him too." Xenora hugged her boss. "Perhaps you also need to convey your feelings later."
Despite her appearance and title, Phisovia has this kind of childish side. Xenora already knew that but had never seen it to this level.
"I just don\'t want to interfere with his work." Phisovia wiped her tears. "He\'s building something big, Xenora. He\'s more than just our lover...."
Phisovia couldn\'t continue her words because she found something from a distance: two dragon-like creatures, but with a smaller version.
"Wyverns." Phisovia hissed, lengthening her hair. "Get ready, Xenora."
"That\'s..." Xenora narrowed her eyes at the beasts. "People are riding them?"
Instead of approaching the succubus, the wyverns turned around.
"Chase them!" Phisovia accelerated. "They\'re probably just looking for information about us! Don\'t let them escape!"
The succubi needed maximum speed to finally catch up with the gray-scaled beasts. The two black-clothed people riding the wyverns shot arrows at them, but they could dodge.
Phisovia moved her hair to catch one of the people in black, but they moved their mounts in a zigzag fashion. The red-haired succubus had a hard time doing it.
Meanwhile, Xenora managed to land on one of the wyvern\'s backs, instantly making a combination kick to the rider. However, she also struggled because the space to move was very narrow and unstable. Not to mention she had to always dodge her opponent\'s knife attacks.
"Don\'t get hit by their weapons! I smell a strange odor from those things." Xenora shouted to her superior.
The wyvern that Phisovia was chasing maneuvered upwards, dived into the succubus, then shot a fireball.
Phisovia could dodge, but the fireball burned large parts of her hair. The wyvern continued to dive and caught the general\'s body with its teeth.
"Madam Phisovia!!!"
Xenora was about to jump in to help her superior, but Phisovia gave an order. "Just focus on your opponent! I can handle this!"
Despite being hesitant, Xenora continued her fight. She dodged another knife attack and delivered a kick to her enemy\'s stomach.
On the other hand, Xenora was still struggling to free her left waist from the wyvern\'s teeth. Because of the unbearable pain, she had difficulty controlling her hair, which was now moving like crazy.
She knows she has to break free fast. Otherwise, there were only two fates for her: die or be taken by this wyvern somewhere.
So, she focused on just a few strands of her hair, then moved them to poke the wyvern in the eye. The creature roared in pain and released its bite from Phisovia\'s body. The succubus didn\'t waste a chance. She entangled the rider\'s body with her hair.
"You will pay for this." The red-haired succubus hissed in full anger and brought that person close to her face.
Seeing the fireball coming at her again, Phisovia flew away. That wyvern with bloody eyes went wild and shot fireballs aimlessly.
One of the fireballs hit the other wyvern, sending that creature flying out of control as well. The rider was having a hard time keeping the balance, and Xenora took advantage of that.
The woman kicked the rider\'s hand, forcing the knife her opponent was holding to fly. After that, Xenora jumped up, using her two legs to pinch that person\'s neck.
The two of them then fell on the wyvern\'s back. Xenora desperately clung to the creature\'s scales, keeping herself and her opponent from being blown away. If that happens, there is a risk that the rider\'s neck will break due to the momentum.
Xenora didn\'t need that. They had to extract information from these people.
Finally, after struggling for a while, Xenora was able to knock her opponent out. She then jumped while hugging that person\'s body, letting the wyvern go.
"Madam Phisovia, I already…." Xenora gasped when she realized the condition of her superior looked wrong.
The succubus general released her captive. She was now free-falling, with her long hair fluttering and blood flying in the air. Her wound did look quite nasty and deep, but it shouldn\'t have knocked out a succubus.
Could it be that the wyverns\' teeth were also covered in the substance that Xenora had smelled earlier?
Xenora accelerated her dive and approached her superior, who looked like she was sleeping peacefully.
"Please, madam Phisovia." The black-haired succubus hissed. "You must survive this. Don\'t make Lord Vorn sad."
However, the general did not respond.
