Chapter 939: Hassle
The manor owner led him back to the side of the carriage and opened the door before climbing inside. Sage followed after him and they sat upon a luxurious set of soft cushions upholstered with a thick dark leather covered in way too much stitchwork. Whatever beasts it came from, they were not taken down easily. The leather from at least a dozen different creatures was stitched together in a patchwork fashion and the coloring almost looked like it was dyed with blood afterwards.
Ignoring the strange taste of this man, Sage waited patiently as the mans servant brought out a horse-sized black dog with three heads. The dog was attached to the front of the carriage and then the servant jumped up to the drivers seat to guide the carriage up the ramp and out of this strange building. Sage was surprised to see what he could call a Cerberus not just existing on this world, but also being used as a draft horse. It brought him once again to that strange question of why creatures known on Earth also existed in this world. Did they exist long ago in Earths past and their memory remained? Did certain people merely see them in their dreams and spread their existence to the world? Were dreams connected to some other realm? Were there secretly immortals or cultivators on Earth? Maybe someone had experienced the opposite of his own experience, a being from this world reincarnated on Earth.
This current host was very quiet and uninteresting so Sage entertained himself with these thoughts. He only looked out the window to see how this carriage was going to deal with the fact that this level was a massive swamp. Surprisingly, they didnt do a thing. The Cerberus out front and the carriage itself actually traveled a few inches over the surface of the ground and water. Somehow the Demonic Beasts feet and the wheels of the carriage traveled upon an invisible surface, never touching the mud, water, and squishy ground. It treated it all as smooth ground, weaving quite easily between the trees and marsh grass.
They traveled away from the mans home and Sage waited to see what sort of place the man had chosen to trust with his belongings. They moved towards one of the boardwalk style settlements, but then the carriage turned away from it and moved into a dense forest that looked just as gloomy as the manor owners property from before. This area had far more trees than the mans property did with somewhat solid ground rather than the spongy bog. While Sage was waiting for some other hidden property to reveal itself, the carriage came to a stop.
The cracked tooth manor owner, Count Voctem, brandished his black bladed scythe and started to walk towards Sage. The black dog rushed towards him while the servant rushed towards the side to circle around towards Sages back. A jade aura sprang to life around Sages body and he stomped hard upon the ground, rushing towards the huge dog and twisting his upper body to strike the beast with his right elbow. The central head bit towards his arm while the other two crowded towards his sides, trying to overwhelm him with its trio of biting jaws that were bigger than Sages head.
The Cerberus central head pulled back slightly, dodging the elbow swinging towards its snout. It recoiled just enough to avoid the impact and then bit down again, trying to catch hold of Sages elbow and bicep. Sage quickly lifted his left arm, bracing it in front of his face to block the Cerberus' rightmost head. It bit down on his left forearm, but the central head was not so lucky. A green spike shot out from the back of the central head, extending a few feet out of it. The middle head of the Cerberus whimpered and its jaws weakened, trying to pull away but unable to escape. The right head locked onto Sages arm while the left bit him upon the back.
Biting onto his left arm, the right head suddenly weakened, realizing it was biting down onto poison and it tried to escape as well, but when its bite loosened slightly it was enough for Sage to twist his arm free. He pulled his left arm back and then threw an uppercut. As his hand moved a bright green blade extended outwards and sliced the Cerberus head from chin to snout. The huge dog retreated with a whimper. The short instant of combat ended with two of its heads being disabled by the blades extending from Sages wrists.
Count Voctem didnt seem to care at all, as he was now only a single step away from Sage. The scythe in his hands was now sheathed in a thick aura of blackish-green energy. It swung towards Sage and he started to step back, but then he realized his feet were pinned to the ground. He glanced down and saw the servant had stabbed his clawed glove into his shadow.
Well, this isnt good.
