Dyllis furrow her brows thinking about how familiar it looked. 'I swear there better not be a talking goat down here's Dyllis thought angrily, it's not like I have anything against that game but it would mean the child would have its soul already stolen from them. With a dark look on her face, she took long strides through purple ruins.
That's when Dyllis saw a rat-tail up ahead so she ran towards where she had seen it, and to her dismay, a woman was guiding the young teen "Get away from the young master you vile thing!" Bloodlust leaked from every pour of her body as her aura started to flare out, the woman looked back at me and smile "Child do you know this lady?" she ask the young master who looked back at me "Have never seen her before" he replied. Dyllis threatening stride over and landed a punch on her "Young master Moonshine, I am here to bring you back home. This woman is only a devil in disguise that loves to eat children's souls" Dyllis declared, her eyes flashing in determination.
The young master looked back at me than her, he hesitate to move away from the woman. Dyllis took that time to beat the demon in disguise to a bloody pulp "What are you-" the demon in disguise looked at Dyllis in confusion before fainting, its body turn to that of an old woman that has sharp nails and two horns sprouting from her forehead.
The young master Moonshire watched in bewilderment at the scene "Your so strong miss!" he exclaimed in adoration, Dyllis smiled at the kid and picked him up "stay still young master Moonshire we are gonna get out of here" Dyllis stated as she made her way back to the flower bed, she felt around the walls a bit before finding a button that reveals a barrier of multiple colours. 'Hopefully, the god of copyright laws won't smite new Dyllis pray as she walked out of the barrier 'I Should didn't have been able to pass through since I identify as a demon so why was I able to exit?
Dyllis took a few more steps when a group of men and women pointed their swords at Dyllis's neck, they had a big golden cross on top of their armour, the way they looked reminded Dyllis of holy knights. 'Well shit how did this happen?' she thought to herself with a confused look "Demon get away from the child!" Dyllis looked at him like they were the most idiotic humans around.
"How can I put down the child without you beheading me?" Dyllis asked with an innocent face nothing to deny their claim. 'Damn this face has been compromised, I can't even use this face again even though I started growing attached to it' Dyllis thought Grimley as she bend her knees a bit and place down the young master then she raised her hands in surrounder. The young master Moonshire looked back at Dyllis then at the Knights "Hey mister I think your wrong, that lady ain't a demon" He tried to reason with the older gentleman.
The older guy looked at the young master in pity "It seems this demon has tricked you with its pretty face" He mumbles, one of the other knights forcefully took the young master Moonshire. Dyllis smiled gently "Don't worry about me young master Moonshire, I'll clear up the misunderstanding" Dyllis try to reassure the young teen. She remained calm even face with holy magic and weapons made from strong monster bones, the Holy Knight walked away with the body as he flew around over the knight's shoulder.
"What was your intention with the boy?" The graying hair men shouted at me, spit landing on my face. Dyllis smiled wearily "Do you want my truth or the truth you want to hear?" Dyllis met his question with her own, He looked irked by it and thrust a spear to her face. Dyllis chuckled at his reaction "I was saving him from a demon who planned to eat his soul while nurturing him" Dyllis reply with an easy smile on her face. The surrounding group felt a shiver go down their spine looking at the smile, the man grunt in dissatisfaction "You under arrest for kidnapping ear Moonshire heir" He stated coldly, Dyllis felt bitter. she couldn't help but think 'What twiddle his holes to take his anger out on me?' Dyllis put out her two arms and one of the Knights place handcuffs on her wrist.
The Holy Knight captain scoffed "what a pity she didn't resist" he mumbles 'Sir what unholy things you were planning to do to me?' The disappointment in his gaze says everything that I needed to know while the rest of his face remained in disdain. 'I have a feeling he has a thing for she-devils-' Dyllis sweatdrop inside, feeling uncomfortable around the older knight and a few others 'I don't think he's the only one either' with that she remained quiet throughout the journey, they brought her to the church where the saint lives.
Dyllis stopped walking in front of the church building doors feeling hesitant about entering not sure what effect it would have against her as she had never stepped on holy ground before, will her demonic side start screaming out in pain, will she be burned to death again and again?
She couldn't ponder for long as the holy knights behind her shoved Dyllis forward, it nudges her a step forward that was all needed to enter the holy place, she brace herself but nothing happens, Dyllis felt shocked inside.
'Maybe holy magic does not affect me despite me being a being of darkness?' she theorized, striding forwards not hesitating anymore to enter the lavishly decorated church, the Wendigo glance around taking in everything at once 'They worship the god of light, no wonder why they are so rude to me' the cannibal thought carefully on how she was going to escape alive. If they planned to execute her they would behead her and then burn her with holy fire, it wouldn't work but that would make me inactive for a while. 'My fate relies on the saint himself, hopefully, his holiness will release me but the chances are slim' her eyes darken as she was made to get on her knees to kneel to the saint.
A man dressed entirely in white and gold slowly walked out his aura tried to pressure Dyllis down to submit, she wouldn't allow it, her pride as a wendigo. Dyllis looked up at the man's face, her face devoid of emotions. She removed her mask and put it into her inventory not wanting to hide behind the mask anymore, the holy knights at the side gasp in shock "space magic?" one of them said.
The saint stared down at Dyllis's disfigured face "Tell me the truth child what are you exactly?" he spoke with elegance, Dyllis almost awe in surprise if not for her dire circumstance she is in. Dyllis clear her throat "I am a deer" it's wasn't a lie as Wendigos are often described to have deer-like features. He stated to her down with intensity "I have cursed your holyness" Dyllis truthfully told him he remained silent listening to what she had to say.
"What is your curse you speak about?" he asked his interest peaked "When I woke up one morning I felt this insatiable hunger, that no matter how much I eat normal food it wouldn't satisfy my hunger" Dyllis spoke in a shaky voice feeling guilty, yes she mostly ate criminals to help lessen the guilt of eating a human being or other humanoids.
Dyllis continues "I never wanted to kill anyone, I also didn't want to turn insane and turn into a mindless killer" Dyllis admit that she had killed and hinted that she had devoured her victims. The saint approached Dyllis and pointed a finger at her head "May I look at your memories?" He asks her gently which surprises her greatly 'System would he know about you if I let or know about my first Life?' she asks while pretending to think it over.
"He won't know about me but he will know your first cause of death host" it replies swiftly, she bite into her lower lip "Go ahead I have nothing to hide" Dyllis reply with a crooked smile, the saint index finger touched her forehead. The saint's eyes turn misty and his face contorted into one of rage and pain.
