Chapter 50 Playing As A Couple (1)
Klaus knows that Irina is waiting for him, so he finishes the meal quickly and heads to the camp with Dairin's head in hand.
He appears in front of the group and raises Dairin's severed head toward them, provoking several reactions of shock and horror.
No matter how brutal and cruel humans can be to themselves and other races, the moment it's a non-human that starts ripping heads off, they get horrified.
"What kind of monster are you???" One of the slavers asks as he looks at Dairin's blood running down Klaus's lips over his bare chest.
"Monster? Oh yeah, you guys like to call me that..." Klaus scoffs as he shows his fangs. "I don't mind your hypocrisy; I like to play the monster role anyway."
[What the hell is going on???] The whole group of humans asks themselves the same thing.
"What are you waiting for??" Keld points his sword at Klaus as he talks to his teammates. "Let's kill this bastard!"
The vampire makes a fake disappointed expression. "What? I'm not good enough to be enslaved??"
Klaus is obviously mocking the group, but since their purpose there is to find elves on the edge of the Ancient Forest to enslave, some of them wonder how much the vampire would be worth to the slave traders.
"Keld..." One of the slavers whispers to the group leader. "This guy is right; we can sell him to some rich lady in the capital."
Others are quick to support that idea. "Imagine how much those rich ladies would be willing to pay for such a hot slave..."
[A fortune indeed!] Keld thinks.
It's complicated for men to admit that another man is better looking, especially when that's a demi-human. However, no man can lie to himself about that in Klaus' presence.
Keld and his group even feel the masculinity runs out of their bodies as they admire Klaus' good looks. But instead of wanting to abuse his body, they want to get rich by selling him as a slave, of course.
The fact that the vampire has the head of Dairin, one of the strongest members of their group, in his hand should be a huge red flag, but men like that lose any reason due to greed.
"Let's capture him alive!" Keyd speaks to his allies. "Also, avoid ruining his face, it will be very valuable at auction time."
Klaus is trying hard to contain his aura because watching those men discuss how they are going to sell him is hilarious. He especially likes to see the despair in their eyes when they realize how screwed they are.
But it's time to let someone else have fun, too, so the vampire makes a fake scared expression before speaking in a loud tone. "Irina, my love, are you going to let these cruel men take your husband as a sex slave?"
"The fuck??" Keld and his group are confused again.
*Whoosh*
Then another figure emerges from the shadows behind the group of men; it's Irina, of course; and before anything else, she notices the pleasure expression on the face of Dairin's severed head in Klaus's hand.
"It's a fairy!!!" One of the men quickly shouts as the entire group turns their attention to Irina.
"A fairy for real??"
"Damn, she looks pretty real to me!!"
"And she's so beautiful..."
All those men's eyes shine, not just with sexual desire, but mainly with greed. They can already imagine the mountain of gold and treasure they can get by selling Irina and Klaus into slavery.
That amount of money would make the whole group rich enough for them to buy resources to reach the Martial Lord and probably even Martial King realms in a few years.
While the group is lost in dreams of the fortune they will never have, Irina is more curious about the head in Klaus' hand.
The vampire realizes his mistake and quickly throws that head away. And Irina turns a blind eye; she doesn't want to play the jealous wife, especially after he's been so good to her.
"I thought you were going to leave me out." She tells Klaus as she glares at those men.
"I would never do it, my love." He speaks in an affectionate tone. "I was just preparing the prey for you."
Keld and his group find that situation very bizarre. They can feel Irina's Martial Warrior aura while Klaus is in the Novice Realm yet, so they don't understand how the couple can be so confident.
"Hahahaha..." One of the Martial Warriors in the group starts laughing. "You are a very fucked up couple, but don't worry; we will sell you to some rich perverts who will fuck up with you even more."
*Woosh* *BAM!!!*
Nobody understands what happened; they just saw Irina disappear, then Martial Warrior was thrown against a wagon and fell to the ground with his jaw destroyed.
The fairy is wiping the blood from her delicate hand while the poor man agonizes on the ground in a bloody mess.
"What did you say?" She asks in a calm tone.
Those men are shocked not to understand how someone from the early Warrior Realm could take down that guy with a single punch.
Meanwhile, Klaus' eyes shine with admiration for his lovely fairy having such a brutal side. "Nicely done, my dear; you can't let others say bad things about your husband."
Keld and his friends finally understand how dangerous Klaus and Irina are and try to act quickly, attacking the fairy first.
"NOW!!!" Keld shouts as he dashes towards Irina.
The others also prepare their weapons and better techniques to attack the fairy, but then an incredibly frightening aura descends on them like a heavy cloud of dread.
Klaus releases all the power of his aura, bringing fear and despair to the hearts of those men. Those in the Novice Realm lost all courage to fight and almost fell to the ground shaking.
Meanwhile, Keld and the other Martial Warrior are in no better shape. They feel as if they have entered the wolf's den, or rather, they have invited the wolf into their home.
"You can shit yourselves now." Irina laughs.
