The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Chapter 123 - Beautiful But Scary

Leona and Bastian live in this human-made cave; they eat bats as food reserves if they do not find beasts weaker than these bats.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.

A man was seen walking among the lush bushes. The man had his sword in his right hand while using his other hand to clear the bushes blocking his net.

"Found it." The man stopped in his tracks. he looked up while narrowing his eyes. It could be seen that the outer pupils of the man became bright. "One ... Two .... Three ... Four." the man muttered.

What the man was seeing was a group of four-legged reptiles lying on a hill. When viewed from the outside, these reptiles had skin that was hard and rough like crocodiles. Apart from the hard skin, a fin extends from the tip of the neck to the tail.

The fins are shaped like leaves but have a tough texture as hard as the skin. Apart from the dorsal, other small fins grow behind their four legs, giving this animal many terrifying weapons.

The reptiles have the size of a tiger. These reptiles also appear to love sunbathing when judged by their dry, cracked outer skin.

"Desert Lizard, checked and stayed in the same place. This road is also blocked; I better check other roads. " The man then sneak sideways slowly.

After feeling that this distance was safe, he walked normally until he finally came out of the dense forest and came to a large meadow.

Under the rays of the stars in the sky, the meadow at night looks very beautiful. Not to mention that there are fireflies on every grass.

The cool night breeze also swept over the meadow, causing it to sway to the beat.

There, the man was staring at the scene in front of him with his hair lightly blowing in the wind. "Beautiful, if only I could take Alice to this place." The man muttered while thinking of his sweet little daughter.

The moment he stepped foot on the grass, he suddenly felt something dangerous staring at him.

The man hurriedly lay down, and his gaze was blocked by the meadow. He raised his head and saw a plant that had many leaves shining in the distance.

Since the spell was still active, he could clearly see the shape of the plant.

The plant grows in the middle of a meadow, leaving the area around the plant without grass. This plant stands out not only for its place but also for its shape.

It has leaves that are like neon lights facing upwards, plus each leaf is shining even brightly in the darkness of this night.

But what stood beside the plant made which made him fear.  A wolf, the size of an elephant, was standing watching the surroundings.

The wolf has thorny fur on its back. Apart from that, the feathers also glowed and had the same colour as the plant it was guarding, which was light blue.

The combined light from the plant and the wolf's fur revealed the surrounding environment, filled with other kinds of wolves. 

The wolves that surrounded the giant wolf seemed like they had no intention of attacking. Instead, they even looked like they were submissive to the giant wolf.

The wolves were 5x the size of an ordinary wolf; compared to the giant wolf, their size only reached the giant wolf's chest.

These wolves have normal fur like ordinary wolves but with larger size; another thing that distinguishes them is their blue eyes that glow in the darkness of this night.

When viewed carefully, the plants, giant wolf and wolves surrounding them seem to have a special relationship.

The man cancelled his intention when he saw this flock to invite his daughter. "I was just about to show the beauty of nature, but ..." The man sighed, and he then crawled back into the forest.

...

After the man returned to the forest, he no longer continued his search and returned to the cave where his wife was.

"Honey, I'm back." The man entered while removing the leaves tied in front of the cave door. These leaves were made by him to trick the beasts who wanted to find their place to live into, making it seem like a mound of earth.

The man did not hear her voice; he walked to the inside of the cave and found his wife was fast asleep. "You scared me." He kissed her cheek first and then put his sword by the bed.

"Now, let's check whether my wife is this careless as she looked like." The man then walked back to the cave door and checked the bottom of the cave door.

"Hmm, she's not what I thought." Rubbing the leaves covering the cave door, the man found an energy stone equipped with several magic circles.

Walking back to bed, the man then lay down beside his wife and hugged her from behind. "Good night, honey." He blew her ear and fell asleep.

After the man fell asleep, his wife opened her eyes, "Stupid!" her face flushed red, and her body now felt very hot.

She then peeked and found that her husband was really fast asleep. "It must be very tiring for you." After stroking his face, she also fell asleep.

The next day, Leona woke up and saw that her husband was missing. She stood up and heard a voice from the kitchen. "Honey, what are you doing?"

While wiping her eyes and washing her face with a spell, Leona arrived in the kitchen and saw that her husband had cooked several parts of the bat's body until scorch.

"Ah, I'm sorry, honey, I'm hungry, and I can't control my appetite when I see this." Bastian laughed awkwardly when he saw his wife's sullen expression.

"Today, I will check the situation on Sky-Hunter nest; let me know when it's finished, hahaha." He took the bat's burnt body part and devoured it directly, then left in a hurry.

After Bastian left, Leona, who saw him, sighed. Her sullen expression had been replaced by a tired expression, "If only he had been a little more patient, maybe this dish would be even better."

Seeing that only a few ingredients remained, Leona shook her head, "But this also my bad for waking up late."

Remembering last night's incident, her face suddenly slightly flushed, "Stupid." She said in a low voice and then proceeded to prepare breakfast.

....

Meanwhile, Bastian is walking towards the place where the Sky-Hunter should be. "I hope that beast disappears ...."

For days apart from checking other exits, he also checked the Sky-Hunters' lair, where the lair occupied by Sky-Hunters was the best way for them to get out of this territory.

Arriving there, he did not find any trace of the Sky-Hunter, even the carcass of the beast that the beast used to carry also disappeared. "Is this a dream?" he waited a few more minutes and found that Sky-Hunter had not returned.

His hope come true! Now his expression became excited, "I don't know where that damn beast has gone, but this is a golden opportunity." Before returning, Bastian confirmed once more the path he was going to take and found no trace of the Sky-Hunter.

He sped up his pace and finally arrived at his temporary home, but his expression froze when he saw the situation in front of him, "Honey !!" shouted Bastian.

The situation in front of him is horrible, where his wife is being surrounded by a herd of Husk Wolves. He advanced rapidly while activating his swordsmen skill.

* swoosh * * swoosh *

Bastian continued to slash the wolves in front of him fiercely, making their way forward to reach his wife's position. Each wolf that was hit not only roared in pain but the wolf also bit Bastian's hand.

* crack *

The cracks' sound was heard very loudly on Bastian's hand; it was seen that the wolf's teeth were crushed before reaching his hands. 

A barrier was seen after the teeth were crushed, showing that it protected Bastian's hand from all directions.

Not only Bastian's hands, but even Bastian's feet are also covered by the same barrier when a wolf tries to bite him and gets the same result.

"Honey, are you okay?" Bastian finally managed to make his way in. He worriedly and checked his wife's condition.

"I'm just a little tired," Leona replied with a weak smile. But at the same time, a wolf suddenly jumped from above Leona and tried to devour entire her head.

  "Ho-" but before Bastian managed to warn his wife, he saw blood spurting around him.

* pop *

Leona, who was talking with Bastian, also controlled her spell to make a giant ice needle appear from the ground and pierce up the belly of the wolf that wanted to attack her.

"Wow," Bastian was amazed to see the other side of his sadistic wife, but he immediately felt something dangerous from behind him.

Due to the swordsmen's passive skill, Bastian quickly turned the blade back and stabbed back into the wolf's mouth that was about to bite his hand.
