11. Stupid Man

Arlcia hissed, the woman felt pain in her back area; hot, like a fire. Cia tilted her head back, stretched slightly, and sighed in pain.

"Cia, what's wrong?" asked Morgan, panicking.

"My back is hot, Morgan."

Morgan immediately approached Cia and placed his palms on Cia's back. Of course, not in direct contact, because the woman is wearing a silk cloth that covers her body.

"Your mate is hurt, Cia," said Morgan.

Cia closed her eyes briefly. Why can I forget this? What is that stupid lycan doing to hurt? Damn it! I'm really worried about him. The woman thought with a sad face.

Cia cursed again in her heart, swear by anything! I will level Latveria if Zeno does anything. Just wait until my fetus starts to get strong, I will come down to earth and hit the man hard until he faints. How dare he make me worry like that.

"Do you want me to see the state of your husband?" asked Morgan.

"No need. You just stay here, I need more energy from you."

Morgan smiled, that smile was able to send positive energy to Cia's fetus. Even though inside the man he was sad, just by looking at the woman he loved, he was happy. Seeing Cia happy, Morgan is also happy. Whatever it is, for Arlcia's sake.

Attack after attack was received by Zeno with all his heart. Even though his back was injured, he still tore the thick skin of the Orka. The Lycan Leader of the northern region had sent telepathy to another Lycan. He only needed a few minutes to buy time. Furthermore, this place they will ravage.

"Where is my wife, ugly creature!" shouted Zeno.

Orka was annoyed, he knew that the lycan must be talking badly about his people. Evidenced by staring at his opponent's expression that jerked loudly.

The Orka stormed indiscriminately. Their bats are five times larger than baseball bats, with spiked tops and bottoms. When the stick swung and hit the cave wall, it would stick and pull whatever was attached to the thorn.

A few moments later, five hooded creatures approached the skirmish. The orcas stopped attacking, they retreated in an orderly fashion, and the newly arrived witchers stepped forward.

"What's your problem, Lycan?" asked one of the witchers.

"Shit, where is my wife?!" Zeno shrieked. "If anything happens to him, I'll destroy this damn cave!" In fact, this cave was also not spared from Zeno's curse.

The five witchers looked at each other. Which wife did this lycan mean? They didn't catch any of the Lycans. "Who? Which one? Don't go around slandering us. Why did we kidnap your lycan wife?"

"Tch! You old witcher! Pretend you don't know and don't want to admit it either." Zeno taunted them with his lycan face.

"You ...," growled the Witchers.

The Witcher, who is famous for black and forbidden magic, bombards Zeno with their deadly spells. However, the Lycan leader was able to fend it off. He was appointed as a leader not necessarily because of his father, but because of his above-average ability.

"Dividers!" Zeno shrieked.

The five Witchers were thrown to the right and left, each hitting the cave wall. Then, they fell again onto the cold cave floor. Their eyes stared at Zeno sharply, implying revenge in those eyeballs.

Not long after, dozens of Lycans under Zeno's leadership arrived. Their leader immediately gave instructions to destroy this cave. The dozens of Lycans, including Zeno, dashed deeper and deeper.

Even though it's dark, their vision of this cannot be doubted. When they arrived at the core of the cave, there were several large cauldrons filled with explosive liquid. Some cave walls with their steel trellises that hold humans?

There are not only witcher nations, but there are orkas, then black dwarves who of course serve the dark. "Lowly creatures! Do you intend to surrender?!"

Eros, who turned back into a human, rubbed some of the hair that covered his forehead. "A lowlife you say?!" Who here is the lowest? Even ants knew that it was these dark creatures like them that were lowly—subsisting on the essence of other beings.

Zeno howled loudly, followed by the howls of his herd. After that, they destroyed all the creatures that were there; clawing, biting, throwing, stabbing with their fingernails, and turning the contents of the cauldron upside down.

The Lycan nation also freed humans who were made prisoners by these dark creatures. However, when one of them hugged Zeno fearlessly, Zeno smelled the sky. These prisoners are demigods.

No Cia, thought Zeno.

Upset because what he was looking for did not exist, Zeno immediately left the cave with his flock. Leaving grudges in the hearts of the creatures of darkness. It seems Zeno has to destroy the house of the alchemist—Noya.

"Where did you get news about those creatures?" asked Finn—a young lycan with skin as white as snow.

Tonight, Zeno's flock of women, men, or children, is gathering in their yard. Almost all eyes looked at the leader curiously.

"Nothing," replied Zeno.

They want to be angry, protest, also scratch the leader's face. However, they could only sigh and normalize their annoyed faces. Their leader is very economical. In fact, smiles can be counted using the fingers.

Silence, no one dared to ask about the incident. After finishing his meal, Zeno immediately stood up and headed towards his residence. The man in black stopped when he reached the stairs of the house.

He sits on the third step. His eyes stared at the sky that tonight felt warmer, the stars were spread fairly, and the moon seemed to shine more tonight. Looking at the moon that calmed him down, Zeno remembered Cia.

The woman was able to make him go crazy in an instant. Cia is the dope that always makes her excited to start the day. It's Zeno's umpteenth day without Cia and his bones are starting to ache.

"Looks like I have to postpone destroying Noya's house. He has to give me more medicine," Zeno whispered.
