The Transmigrated Novelist

Chapter 271 - Abandoned

It was impossible for Young Lady Aura to not take advantage of this great opportunity in front of her, as she immediately ordered her attendants to attack.

Immediately the two ladies appeared out of Roy's sides, each of them just like some sort of evil cat with a dagger in their hands, looking to end his life.

'Clangggg…, Clanggggg…, Clang…, Bannggggg…, Bannggggg…'

Perhaps if Roy hadn't known about their presence and expected this attack it might have truly worked, and either critically injured him, or even killed him.

Unfortunately, to their bad luck, all this couldn't happen as from the moment he had entered inside Roy had been checking his surroundings repeatedly in a short period of time.

He was aware of the presence of the two attendants from the beginning. So, when he didn't see them around once he entered he had to make sure that he was careful of his surroundings.

Even more so when he was forced to act and kidnap Young Lady Aura while forcing Young Noble Timothe to drop his weapons and surrender.

He had been waiting for something like this from the beginning and he reacted quickly to defend and protect himself and Young Lady Aura.

What he hadn't expected was the presence of a third Master in stealth attacking him at the same time as the two ladies, which had truly placed his life in danger.

Even though he had managed to protect himself by using one of his greatswords to defend himself, and the poisoned needle had been stopped on its way without reaching him, it was still a dangerous undertaking.

Should he have been even a sliver of a second later than he took out his greatsword, he would have ended up in a truly sorry state.

Forced to retreat to Gaia in order to heal and recover himself or forced to use Young Lady Aura as a shield and sacrifice her.

The second option certainly sounded much simpler and better in the short term, but in long term was more expensive.

Using Young Lady Aura as a shield would not only make him lose an important future asset, but also most probably force him to lose a present asset as well.

Even though she might understand his motives and thoughts, Lady Kate would never forgive him if he was the cause of her daughter's death.

These thoughts clearly angered him to death, as he was even more determined to teach the bastard in front of him a good lesson.

With those thoughts in his mind, and hidden behind Young Lady Aura, and the greatsword, Roy quickly activated the gate with Gaia and took outside 5 of his loyal beasts.

Each of them had gone through quite the change and reformation as each of them was at least early Rank 4, and the strongest was a high Rank 4 beast.

Of course, with the influence of Roy, each of these beasts was following a transformation route, which would slowly turn them into humans after Rank 6, but even now they had changed a bit.

Even though he thought a bit, they had changed a lot, as these Titanic cats had started to stand and walk on two legs, while showing signs of learning human language.

The more they advanced in their cultivation of Magic Power the more would they start to change and resemble human beings.

When they reached Rank 5 Roy thought that most probably they would start shedding and changing skin into a more human-like skin and take a closer appearance to humans.

This was only his conjecture at the moment though, as only time would tell what would happen. Furthermore, there was a bigger problem in sight, the limits of the Titanic Cats even after consuming his Magic Origin Milk was Rank 5.

If they wanted to surpass that limit and reach higher they would have to carve a path for their selves and couldn't rely on their bloodline anymore.

There were two ways to do that, they either had the talent to create a wholly new path for their selves, or they would have to find an improved version of their bloodline.

The first path was surely a crazy and extremely difficult one, so they could only go with the second opportunity, but that would force Roy to spend a bit, or them to risk their lives in the wild.

Since Roy considered these beasts as his family he was clearly unwilling to let them go and risk their lives in the wild, especially not knowing what awaited them.

Furthermore, there were moments like this when he was in great need of extra help, and these beasts certainly worked like a treat.

For that reason, at least for now, he was willing to plunder his money and keep them to safety. The biggest shock he had received was from foxy, who had actually started to show extra tails without waking up.

That little one had certainly worried him quite a bit, but he had no intention of bothering or awakening her by force, he could only let her rely on herself.

Well now wasn't the time to think about that, as the Titanic Cats immediately jumped into action.

Two of them jumped towards Young Lady Aura's attendants, one towards Young Noble Timothe, and the remaining ones towards the hiding Master.

In no time the situation had changed once again, as Lady Kate could only watch in great worry and concern about her kids.

She understood the gravity of the sneak attack that the hiding bastard had used on her Master and her daughter, and if it weren't for Roy's quick reaction one of the two would be dead.

No matter how much Roy valued her, or even her daughter it was practically impossible for him to die himself while protecting her daughter.

Fortunately, things had gone well, but that made her extremely angry, so she immediately forgot about her disobedience towards Roy, and jumped like a lunatic toward the stealthy bastard.

That damned thing had dared to try and harm two important and precious people to her, and it was something she couldn't forgive.

For that reason, the burden on the poor guy was immediately peaked right from the start, and while he managed to defend himself against the two beasts, Kate's attack pierced his heart.

While Titanic Cats didn't have a great smell like dogs, and some wolves had, they certainly had their own advantage which in their case was their sixth sense.

Basically their 'sense area' was not only wider than other beasts, and equivalent human experts, but it was also much more sensitive than theirs.

They were able to sense even the most minute change in their surroundings and breathing. Roy had tried so many times to hide around them, even using his Camouflage.

This skill came from a Rank 5 Acidic Chameleon beast, so it should be extremely powerful for his current Rank, especially when these Titanic Cats hadn't reached that Rank yet.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he tried it, the result was always the same and ended up with him discovered every time.

That was also the biggest reason he brought them out at this moment and used them against the unknown enemy.

Not to mention that the situation had truly turned desperate, and he needed to work quickly in order to not only defuse the great commotion but also to block any possible leak.

"Mo-Mother, wha-what are you doing!?"

The one who got the greatest shock though was most certainly Young Noble Timothe who saw his Master and his most trusted guard have his heart pierced by his mother.

Doing something like that, at that moment was nothing short of handing his life to the kidnaper. He clearly felt betrayed by his mother.

At the same time, there was another reflexive thought going through his mind and heart, he couldn't allow himself to fall into Roy's hands.

That was nothing short of throwing himself at Death's door, and there was no way he was going to give up on his life when he was about to become the Lord of the dominion.

With those thoughts, his survival instincts immediately kicked in, without losing time he turned around and started running away, as he screamed,

"Little Sister keeps him occupied I will return with help!"

Hearing those words Young Lady Aura was surprised and startled for a moment, before laughing bitterly to herself.

Even her big brother that had always followed her lead had heard her words, and had reached this level by following her was actually abandoning her with some perfunctory words.

Kate couldn't believe this as well, she had always thought that her son was a 'real' young man who would always try his best and hardest to get what he wanted, and not escape by abandoning his own sister and benefactor.

The truth was that with his level of hotheadedness and his stupidity he would never be able to reach this position as the next in line.

It had been Kate and Young Lady Aura that had done their best to increase his support and standing in the dominion. Yet they had been both abandoned.

Not to mention that perhaps if he fought hard enough there might be a chance for him to tip the scales of the current situation.

The guards must have heard the commotion and they should be coming here, so as long as he elongated the whole thing, he would be the final winner.

At least it was possible! Yet all these possibilities flew out of the window as he decided to run away.

'Roaaarrr~! Bangggg~!'
