The Bored Immortal

Chapter 395 - Who Is This Woman?

*Boom!*

The roof above suddenly came crashing down as an icy wave coupled with dozens of spears made out of pure black energy blasted away Devil Queen before she could unleash her attack.

The Devil Queen was sent flying as she crashed into the other room while Umilia smiled upon seeing Nyissa, though her expression turned into one of confusion upon seeing a golden-haired alluring beauty with glowing blood-red eyes. Her skin had a certain glow to it but was as pale as it could get. It was as if she had never been sun-kissed.

She was wearing a dark red skin-tight suit that hugged her hourglass figure and her big breasts in a tantalizing way to the point Viktor would regret that he was not here to admire such an art.

However, she was wearing a veil that covered the lower half of her face, though Umilia didn't need to see her entire face to realize her identity.

Who else could this cold and deadly beauty be other than Vanessa? But what the hell was she doing here and why?

And since she arrived with Nyissa, it probably meant that Nyissa bumped into her outside.

"Keke, you all are going to die, keke…" Umilia suddenly got distracted by the laugh of some lunatic from above, a few dozens of meters away, only to see that it was Dr. Veroz who was being taken into the skies by Devil Queen, holding him by the back of his shirt. His severed arm had been bandaged up, but he seemed least bothered despite losing his forearm.

"Shut up!" Devil Queen admonished coldly, making Veroz seal his lips the moment he felt a chilling sensation overwhelm his body. He was mad, but he wasn't mad enough to offend the queen of death.

"Oh no…" Umilia first wondered why the two would fly away while leaving their facility in the open like this, without even bothering to clean up.

But then she put two and two together as she quickly flew inside to grab Taya, only to see that Taya had already left. She spread her senses quickly and was relieved to see that Taya somehow made it outside with a girl.

*BOOM!*

A huge explosion shook the entire facility as Umilia suddenly flew outside before the rubbles could fall down on her.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

Multiple consecutive explosions started to go off around the entire godown, making the entire building crumbling down while the lab and everything in it were utterly destroyed.

Meanwhile, Taya was standing a safe distance away from the explosion as she looked at the godown going up in flames. Thanks to Eva, Taya was able to guess that this building was probably going to go up in flames.

"Are you alright?" Taya asked as she looked at Lana, who still had a shocked expression, not knowing what to think.

Still, she wasn't feeling frightened in the presence of this mysterious hooded woman, unlike what she thought before. It seemed as if this woman was still a human despite turning into a monster before. She felt as if she was going crazy, unable to make sense of things.

"I…I…Thank you…I am f-fine…" Lana somehow found her voice as she bowed and sincerely thanked her savior. Even if this woman was not really human, it didn't change the fact that she saved her life.

And thus, Lana was feeling more and more comfortable in her presence and wished she could properly express her gratitude.

"Can I know…who you are?" Lana curiously asked as she looked at the pair of glimmering eyes underneath the hood.

Taya patted her shoulder as she said, "I am just someone trying to correct my mistakes."

 Lana was surprised by her answer and didn't understand what she meant. Still, she said with misty eyes, "It doesn't matter. You saved a nobody like me even though you didn't have to. I thought my life was worthless and that I wouldn't mind dying. But today, I learned how precious my life was. They would have made me go through some horrible experiments if not for you. I can't thank you enough for that," Lana's body was still trembling, thinking about how she was this close to having that shady drug get injected into her body.

Taya felt bad for Lana, seeing how she had trauma about what she had to go through. So Taya held her hands and said, "Don't think too much about what happened. They won't hurt you anymore. They now have bigger things to worry about, and even then, I will stop them before they can harm any more people, no matter what I have to do."

Lana felt better hearing her words and softly nodded, "Mn…" She then suddenly remembered something as she asked in a low voice, "Y-You are the Knightmaiden…right?"

Taya was surprised that someone recognized her outfit even though it had been so many years, "I guess…but I have to go now. Here is some money for you to catch a bus and get away from here. Stay safe."

Taya was in a hurry since the drug she took was losing its effects, and she could already feel her body getting struck with exhaustion while her head was getting a bit dizzy. She had to get back to the others before she could collapse in the middle of nowhere.

Lana could see that Taya was in a hurry and waved her hand as a goodbye while looking at her disappear into the darkness.

She wished she could see the Knightmaiden again someday so that she could thank her on behalf of her mother since, in the past, the Knightmaiden saved her mother from being sold off.

"Ha..ha…." Taya was running out of breath as she coordinated with Eva to regroup, and fortunately, she saw Umilia and Nyissa descending down on her location to pick her up.

But what surprised Taya was that she saw a golden-haired beauty coming down from the air as well.

'Who is this woman?' This question ringed in Taya's mind, though her eyes were drooping as she closed her eyes to get some rest.
