Chapter 339 - Nasty Creature

When Leon returned to where Levy was lying with the three children in tow, Leon\'s special medicine was already working its magical wonders on the wound.

"Your medicine is truly out of this world." Levy commented as he realised the numbness in his body began to fade and he felt better. Somehow, he did not feel as though he was on the brink of death anymore.

"We need to get out of here, pronto." Leon said, ignoring Levy\'s comment. Then he looked at the children. "Stay with him, I\'ll go look for a safer route to get you guys out of this place."

Before the children could respond, Leon had already disappeared. He landed at the top of the highest building near them as he could not risk leaving Levy and the children too long on their own in their helpless state.

Looking around, Levy\'s sight fell straight towards the closest commotion and when he focused his vampiric gaze there, he saw Luc fighting against another savage orc. He was about to rush over to help but from the corner of his eyes, he picked up some movements. Turning that way, he then saw wolves heading towards where Levy and the children were.

He cursed under his breath and quickly returned to them. Seeing that the wound had already stopped bleeding, Leon quickly wrapped it with strips of cloths torn from Levy\'s shirt and he helped him up. He was thankful that the children with them were vampires and could keep up with their fast pace. He had helped some humans last night and it was a lot of effort on his part as they cannot move fast nor leap.

They landed at the top of a castle\'s roof, careful not to be seen by any of the beasts. Or else the beasts would enter the castle and chase after them until they reached the roof.

"By the way, Leon." Levy started as Leon helped him down on the roof. "Did you find your mother?"

Leon paused for a moment and that was enough as an answer for Levy. He had yet to find her.

"Stay here and keep watch. I saw Luc. I think he needs help." Leon acted as though he did not hear Levy\'s question and Levy smiled at him.

"Way to go superhero." He grinned and winked at Leon.

"Don\'t do anything stupid. You need to stay still and focus on healing." Leon reminded Levy as though he was a little kid who would get into mischief the moment that he was free from supervision.

"Yes, boss!" Levy replied playfully and then he watched Leon leave. Being on one of the highest spots in the city, Levy could see the damage that had befallen their city. It looked totally unrecognizable now.

It was still hard to believe that all these happened within a mere night. This city was now no longer occupied by vampires but by beasts and they were hunting the unfortunate ones who had failed to escape.

Levy was worried about Leon\'s mother. Last night, Leon had been trying to look for her while fighting and helping others to escape. It was only normal for him to worry about her because his mother was human. Most of the casualties they had seen were humans as it was due to their physical inability to escape faster.

While Levy was hoping that she was not dead, his sharp eyes saw a woman on one of the roofs. She is a human. The longer he looked, the more he felt that she seemed to resemble Leon. Wait… could it be that this woman is Leon\'s mother?

Levy narrowed his eyes, and focussed harder, trying to pick up on characteristics on her that Leon has, to help him recognize her. She was wounded. He saw her brought out a bottle and poured it on her legs and with one glance, Levy recognized that medicine bottle.

"Shi-!" Levy paused, realizing that there were children here and they were looking at him. "It\'s definitely her!" he barely held himself back from cursing.

Looking around, Levy tried to search for Leon but what he saw next made his eyes widen. The commotion in that part where Leon headed to became even fiercer. It was obvious that the fight there was something Leon could not afford to run off and leave behind until it was finished especially when their comrades were also there.

Levy looked back at the woman again and he saw an orc trying to get to her. He cursed inside his head again. He was about to stand and rush over there when the young boy held his hand, stopping him. "What are you doing? That big brother said you must stay still to heal."

"I know, but I need to save someone. And it\'s urgent."

"Who?"

"Right there." Levy pointed to the direction of the woman.

The boy narrowed his eyes at the direction Levy was pointing at before looking back at him. "But that\'s a human." His tone somehow indicated that why would Levy bother and put his health at risk for a human.

Raising a brow, Levy ruffled the boy\'s head and he finally rose. He could not blame the boy on the reason why he thought that way, because he was well aware on how the vampires educate their children about the humans. "Yes, she\'s a human. But she\'s a living being just like us. And she\'s the woman who created the medicine that healed me. I\'d be such an ungrateful basta… ungrateful man if I don\'t help her out. Also, she\'s the mother of the man who saved you three as well."

The children fell silent after hearing Levy say all that.

"Stay here and don\'t move, understand? I\'ll just go and grab her and return here." He informed them and the children nodded.

However, before he could leap off, he saw a blurry shadow already heading towards her. "What? He saw her?" Levy was impressed that Leon actually saw her from that distance and while still in the midst of that fight.

The orc had already reached her and had grabbed the woman\'s leg, so Leon had to slash at the orc\'s hand. Levy was about to sigh in relief when he saw a savage orc coming at the pair of mother and son from below. That nasty creature was holding a glaive, and it spat at the edge of the blade and Levy knew that the intelligent beast was aware their saliva could be used as a fatal poison against other races.

"Shit! Leon!" Levy cursed knowing what the savage orc was about to do next, not caring anymore that the children could hear him curse.
