The Game Rune System - Chapter 116

“It’s best if we find one of the fairies.” Thera Yuhi couldn’t erase the sight of devils’ churred bodies. They were a race that lived and probably were born out of the inferno and yet the bodies got churned and then dissipated from the forest’s breeze.

This sight showed that the stronger devils were here and it wouldn’t be wise to oppose them head-on.

Even one of those would put Tetsuya and her at disadvantage, so Thera Yuhi spoke considering every available option.

Tetsuya agreed with her, “We will look out for survivors, if there are any. If not, then our whole purpose will be to find a fairy and save her.” They would act as if trying to avenge fairies and kill all devils, but the whole point would be to save at least one.

Both Ashley and Yuhi nodded, then left the tree.

Going across the forest set in the flames, two of them had to tread carefully. The falling branches, the sudden flames explosion and even leaves dancing with flames on their ends were all enemies that could potentially slow them down.

Fortunately, the game master and the mature adventurer were strong enough to not get touched by flames at all.

Though it was feasible, would the clash with the devils be feasible at all?

Tetsuya clicked his tongue, “I got too mad. Instead of killing those weaker devils, I should’ve used their bodies.” The game master could create items or at least recipes that would help him deal with this situation.

The devil bloodline didn’t seem to be stronger than the demon one as no surprise announcement from the game rune system could be seen.

Thus, if they were weaker, Tetsuya probably could go on hunt and prepare himself and fairies with items!

For now, he needed every possible item or ingredient to make a path for him.

Yuhi replied, “We can lure one devil out if we find them in a group.” She knew that Tetsuya got angered because devils rushed at her with lust filled eyes. The sight of those disgusting red-skinned creatures would incense any man!

Tetsuya’s deed worked well on her heart and she felt the support and warmth that she had been missing for all those years.

Thus, Yuhi proposed a plan.

–

“Ehhh! Where are those fairies?!” One of the devils complained openly while flapping his bat wings. He was of the same size as the ones Tetsuya had killed, so his age was around 500 years old.

He was clearly eager to taste more of the world, “We are finally free and can do whatever we want, but those fairies just ran away! No fun killing, no fun conquering! Nothing!” The devils were spreading their energies out of their bodies to keep the flames fanning.

The most vocal devil was not the only one to complain as all of them shared the same feeling.

The rules of the devil’s home were strict and they needed many years before they could even leave their flame world.

Freedom was often what they searched the most!

Suddenly, one of the devils felt like someone pulled his arm. He looked to the side without notifying his friends, then found a woman with black hair and sultry red eyes looking at him.

She was clinging to the tree and looked sweaty, so the flames were doing its job.

The woman, however, also clearly stated her desire; to live.

She begged the devil secretly for help, her lips urging him to come closer and help her.

The devil instantly realized! He finally could taste some freedom and torment this naive woman!

It was time to unleash his flame tongues at her and make her scream in agony to his ears’ content! “I will look out for flames here!” The devil called his buddies and flew to the side.

“Just join someone else soon! Grand Devils recommended to stay in a group of five and if we undermine their words, then they can get angry. Remember!” Devil spoke good advice, but the charmed devil couldn’t care less.

He flapped his wings, then disappeared between the trees.

Here, he went wide, “A man? I am not interested in men!”

“So I am,” Tetsuya and Milady Yuhi’s runes blended together and pushed the devil down to the ground!

Its face dug through the ground, completely unable to raise it up!

It tried to use one of its techniques, but before the belly even heated up with flames, Tetsuya and Milady Yuhi’s swords tore through its wings. They then thrust their swords while aiming for the devil’s heart!

The devil couldn’t resist at all and his life faded away relatively quickly.

“Good work,” Tetsuya said while looking at his woman.

It was fine for her to use some sex appeal, but what made this possible was Yuhi’s control over her rune. She hid it from other devils and pulled the devil’s arm precisely, so that it could find her and get charmed.

Tetsuya utterly ignored the ideas that this devil could’ve possibly gotten as his sword already punished it for it.

“Thanks,” Milady Yuhi’s face bloomed with content.

Now, Tetsuya began to play around with the game rune.

A purple cube appeared out of his hand, then whirled above his palm.

It let out rays upon rays on the dead devil’s body, then the window message appeared not only for Tetsuya’s eyes, but also Ashley.

[Devil’s body can be dissected in a few ingredients.]

[Horns, bat wings, tail, eyes, flesh, bones, blood.]

Each of those could bring out various items.

The best item that Tetsuya currently found could be created out of the bat wings.

[Devil’s Bat Wings – Create a replica out of devil’s wings; An ability to fly and fan the flames out will be given to the user.]

The bones could be used for some armor equipment that would help deal with the flames and their output. However, the bones were small and many of those would be needed for proper equipment.

Flesh also could be turned into food that would increase the fire resistance.

Blood could be turned into potions and Tetsuya expected that already, so he clicked that option before reading any other.

The potions were thus made.

[Devil’s Potion – By drinking it, you can get devil’s characteristics; red skin, their smell and aura.]

“I don’t feel like eating this shit, but if it can give fire resistance…” Tetsuya spat, then clicked the option to turn the flesh into food. He would gulp it down in one go and get bonuses out of it!

He then turned his attention to Ashley, “Let’s try and use our two bloodlines for bat wings.”

“Yes.” It was a journey for her, so Ashley was eager to help as much as possible.

There was one pair of wings, but Tetsuya believed that there wouldn’t be any junk item out of their desire to combine the powers!

Tetsuya’s purple cube shone with brighter purple color to the point where Milady Yuhi got alerted. She looked around the forest to see if any devil noticed the light, then her eyes retracted.

She found bat wing item floating above the cube.

The bat wing item was quite mysterious, however.

First of all, the devil’s wings were smaller than this. Of course, they hunted just weaker devils that were around 500 years old, so it was normal. Secondly, those exuded heat that was foreign to the devil race!

But upon drinking the potion, Tetsuya could hide this unique aspect.

“The special effects were given… We can use surrounding flames to increase our speed… Hah, I love you, Ashley.” Tetsuya whispered, then grasped those wings tightly, “Let’s find fairies.”

“Hehe, go for it, Tetsuya!” In a jovial mood, Ashley cheered on her beloved, then whispered, “I love you too.”

It was like a blessing for the mission!

–

The Grand Devil.

He was around a four meters tall humanoid montster. The devil characteristics; the wings, horns, tail; were bigger and made him seem like a little giant hunting for lambs. It made one wonder, what exactly was their prime’s height!

The grand devil was standing before the unique tree.

Amidst the flames, this tree had light brown bark and its leaves were more shiny and green as well. It exuded a lot of fresh energy and wind around it slithered around like a protector that kicked away any flames that wanted to desperately burn it down.

However, there was a crack within the tree.

A crack so wide that the inside could be seen.

A beautiful eyes and face was within, glaring at the grand devil with unconcealed hate and anger.

This made The Grand Devil’s lips curve up into a cruel smile, “I love those eyes… Oh, I will put them on the shelf and admire them for at least one hundred years, you little fairy.” For a giant the fairy was indeed a little.

But it was one of the queen’s aides, who had served the queen for more than three hundred years!

Even though she was forced to flee, things greatly changed…

And things were bound to change even more as the game master’s eyes were looking at them from atop!
