BXBX NOVEL Chapter 237 237: Goat Demon Leah
Suddenly the loud chanting of the six witches stopped as one of the transformed witches approached Leah. If he remembered correctly was a young man who wore animal spines as a skirt and had countless animal teeth as beautiful necklaces.
However, the young man had transformed into a terrifying six-eyed snake monster with a goat head, shark teeth, and the body of a ten feet long serpent. Even though the young man had been transformed into a monster, he didn\'t seem to care.
Instead, his new pair of six eyes looked thrilled as he approached Leah with a clear sign of trying to impress him. The young man even twisted his body to show the scales still stained with the white powder from his human body.
"Why the heck would I care for your experiment? You tricked me into leaving my village only to try and kill me. How could you, Laq!?"
Leah\'s eyes instantly widened as he heard a childish voice filled with anger and injustice escape his throat and lips. He felt his body tremble as he felt that this voice was strangely familiar as if he had listened to this voice every day of his life.
"Could it be that I\'m dreaming? Or is this a hidden memory inside my head?" Not knowing which one was better for him, Leah turned his attention back to the strange, which the childish voice calls Laq.
"What I am doing is fulfilling your dream, Leah. Imagine after you transform into the Goat Demon of the Swamp, you will become true royalty."
"You will no longer have to pretend to be what you are not and become what you are truly destined to be. As your current advisor, I hope that once you become all-powerful, you will remember who helped you grab on to your true potential."
"I, Laq, swear on my heart that I will remain loyal to the Goat Demon Leah. All my possessions and disciples will become yours, and in exchange, you must carry us to immortality." Laq\'s goat head tried to perform a warm human smile but only ended up making himself seem more demonic and ghostly.
The other five witches, who had also turned into various misshaped and mismatched animals and demons, nodded their heads as they looked at Leah with hope. Their eyes shimmered as they looked at Leah like a piece of coal about to become a valuable gem that would satisfy the gods.
"No, no, no! I don\'t want to. You can\'t make me a demon!"
"I wanted to be a prince of the human race, not some twisted demon. I wanted to live in gold and a beautiful palace that all who look upon it will want to join me in a giant party."
"If I become a demon, that won\'t happen. Instead, I will be surrounded by you ugly monsters!" The anger and fear in the childish voice coming from Leah\'s mouth made Laq smile as he grabbed Leah like a baby.
"Don\'t worry, my prince. Your dreams will come true soon. All you have to do is go into the pot and allow your body to adapt to your spirit."
"As for the pain that will follow, don\'t worry about that since it will all be worth it in the end." Laq\'s six eyes seemed to look straight into Leah\'s soul as he casually threw him into the boiling black sludge inside the giant pot.
"Ahhh! I\'m going to kill you!"
The childish voice screamed one more time as the black sludge poured directly into Leah\'s mouth as he sank straight to the bottom of the sludge. The pain he expected from being boiled alive didn\'t come as Leah soaked in the warm liquid.
He didn\'t know how much time had passed before he suddenly saw a green light fly across the darkness inside the back sludge. The green light movements were chaotic as they tried to escape Leah\'s line of sight.
Not understanding what was happening, Leah simply tried his best to keep the green light on his sight as he hoped he would wake up soon. Eventually, the green light seemed to have become exhausted as it stopped moving and floated in the darkness to recover.
"Wake up,"
Before Leah could understand what the green light meant or if he needed to catch it, he heard a deep voice shake the surrounding black space causing it to collapse.
"Leah, are you okay? I was trying to wake you up all morning, yet I couldn\'t get you to wake up." Noticing that Leah was finally waking up, Yoze sighed a breath of relief as he didn\'t need to try his more direct method of attacking Leah\'s spiritual energy to wake him up.
"I don\'t know... I had a nightmare about me being tossed into a giant pot to be turned into a Goat demon." Leah said with exhaustion evident in his eyes.
"A Goat demon? Tell me all about it. Maybe it\'s hidden memories of why you were able to talk since birth. Or why are you like this?" Yoze felt his interest pique as he asked Leah for all the details about his dream.
Even though Yoze knew that Leah could talk because he had a talent for spiritual speech, Yoze still wanted to know what kind of creature he was. Even from his current experience, he hadn\'t met anything like Leah, who seemed to have some of the qualities of a demon yet was clearly much weaker compared to a real demon.
If he could learn what kind of creature Leah was, he could figure out how to meet other creatures like Leah and grab their unique talents. If possible, he would like to get a few similar creatures like Leah to be his pet so he could have a powerful beast to enter battle with.
Instead of having to find regular animals to tame, he could tame creatures like Leah, who were more likely to have a unique talent and even have the potential to become as powerful as demons. They might even be able to gain control of their spiritual energy and be able to kill immortals.
