Chapter 125 - 125: Soul-Control Leech
But just as soon as Theo managed to calm down, he figured that she must have had a good reason why she made this decision. "First of all, can I know your reasons why?"
"I…"
"Argghhh!!!"
The moment she was going to speak again, she, out of nowhere, started screaming very loudly, gripping both her snow-white hands on her head.
Leticia was drenched in sweat, her brows still trembling. Theo soon realized that there was a powerful conscience trying to control her.
Even those passing down the street were surprised by Leticia's sudden scream, and the little Demi-Human sheep that was with Leticia was crying in worry. It wasn't long ago that she lost her parents, and she didn't want to lose Leticia too. She was her only remaining family.
Without uttering a single word, Theo very quickly got in front of Leticia and put his hand on her head.
"Big brother, can you help my big sister?" Seeing this, the little Demi-Human caught hold of Theo's sleeve. Still sobbing, with tears in her eyes, she asked him with hope after she saw the effects of the healing potion that Theo had given her.
Theo smiled kindly at her and tried to comfort her, "I can! Don't worry!"
"Mmm!" Little Demi-Human nodded and clasped her small hands, trying not to cry anymore.
Closing his eyes, Theo used the Divine Sense on Leticia's mind and tried to find what was causing her pain.
Theo raised his eyebrows, "What evil being did this?" Theo exclaimed as his heart filled with disgust and fury.
By the time he used his Divine Sense on Leticia's body, he was able to find out what was causing her to scream so loudly in pain. Near her brain, there was something very much like a leech, and it seemed to be trying to control her mind.
"Humph!" Theo let out a low growl.
Using all his Divine Sense and magical power, he began to expel this thing that was stuck inside Leticia's head.
"Ahhhh!"
This caused Leticia to scream in even more pain, making the little Demi-Human even more worried. But soon, she could see that something very disgusting and horrifying was coming out of Leticia's head.
At this disgusting sight, she couldn't help but begin to vomit up everything she had eaten.
Theo was also very disgusted with this leech-like creature being forced out of Leticia's head. Then, he let out a relieved sigh just as he had finished successfully removing this horrible thing.
It was actually a half-transparent, gooey creature, and the moment Theo laid his eyes on it, he could see its name. It was actually called a "Soul-Control Leech." Somehow, because it was in the 5th Layer of the Apprentice Kingdom, Leticia was able to regain control of her body.
Many of those who saw the leech coming out of Leticia's head exhaled a cold breath in revulsion, a feeling shared by those around them.
Levitating it with his Divine Sense, Theo made this revolting leech start to burn away with his golden flames.
Those who were passing by and saw his flames in action were so frightened that they dared not breathe in his presence.
Unfortunately, he couldn't know the origin of this thing, but he didn't think it was natural. There was surely someone behind it, and that person was possibly the same one who had made the poor boy self-destruct.
Soon, Leticia regained consciousness and was no longer moaning in pain as before. Although her face was already white, or even paler, her cheeks began to turn a little bit pinker and glowed with a bit more life in them.
Suddenly Theo put a serious look on his face. He glanced toward Leticia, and behind her, he could sense the presence of someone who was deliberately trying to disguise their scent, trying to hide as much as possible. But Theo activated his Divine Eyes and could see them clearly…
It was actually an old Demi-Human Coyote man, and Theo noticed that he was looking at them while holding a large amount of True Earth Mana in his left hand.
Seeing that Theo was looking his way, even though he was at a considerable distance and was actively hiding, this Demi-Human Coyote was surprised, and without wasting any time, he made the Mana in his hand turn into an arrow and shot toward Leticia in a spiral shape.
Seeing this, Theo pulled a level 3 pistol out of his dimensional bag and concentrated some of the True Lightning Mana. He fired in the direction of the coming attack. "Bang!" "Zinng~" "Zinng~" A loud firing sound was played from the gun's firing, along with the sound of the lightning bullet tearing through the air, heading toward this Demi-Human at a shocking speed!
"That…"
Surprised, Leticia looked in the direction Theo fired, and soon she also "saw" the Lightning Mana bullet that was fired by Theo crashing into a spiral-shaped True Earth Mana arrow.
"BOOM!"
"Wahhh!"
Along with the sound of an explosion, some people screamed loudly at the loud explosion. This greatly surprised those who were attacking them, and the moment Theo thought this man would strike again, he actually saw him run away without thinking twice.
Theo considered stalking him, but after knowing that this Demi-Human wanted Leticia dead, he decided he should let this man escape. He tracked him with his Divine Sense and marked his scent and his Mana signature. Now he would know who was targeting him.
And it was just as he had thought. This evil man quickly arrived at the Kenedy Clan.
"Who is this young man? He seems very powerful!" Someone exclaimed loudly upon seeing the whole scene.
"Yeah, but I've never seen him before… did he come from a powerful family from out of town?" Another who was looking in Theo's direction exclaimed with doubt.
Listening to the murmur of people talking about him and looking in their direction. Theo didn't want to waste time here anymore because he could be targeted by other people. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he didn't want to let Leticia and her little sister get hurt in the process.
"Follow me, I'll take you to a safe place," he told them.
Despite being a little dizzy still, Leticia replied, "Alright, let's go."
The little girl was taken into Theo's lap, which surprised her, but she could not resist. She was not stupid. Despite her young age, she soon realized that what Theo had done was all to help them. He even removed that horribly disgusting thing that was inside her older sister's head.
