Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster Chapter 103 103: Rest In Pieces Bat And Ruins of Saltmere

"What a pleasure to see you again, Rael Sutekh," the Beast chuckled. "I hope I'm not intruding or anything, I was just a little bored, you could say."

"Then what's with the grand entrance? 'Walks freely'? Are you serious?" Rael comnted. "If you wanted a better catchphrase, why not do sothing along the lines of: The Beast is about to dominat—nevermind."

"Alune did ntion you're pretty bad with nas," the Beast said. "On the other hand, may I accompany you for the ti being? I know you still have a few monunts left to visit. Four, if I recall?"

"Yep, but what do you an by that? You want to accompany ? Aren't you already stalking from above or sothing?" Rael asked flatly.

However, the Beast rely shook its head. "I don't spend as much ti watching over you as you might expect. Alune, on the other hand, watches you daily. She can't wait to et you. And yes, I want to travel with you to the next monunt. I suppose I just want to experience the thrill?"

So I not only have a fan but also an overprotective father who wants to find out my intentions... is that it? Rael thought with a sigh and nodded.

"Sure, co along, it's not like you'll take no for an answer anyways."

"Excellent," the Beast replied with a wide smile. "I'll shotgun."

"Sorry, that spot is already taken, no objections," Rael interjected. "Sweepus Pri watches the road for us and cleans the seats every ti we step out. The least I can offer him is a good view."

The Beast furrowed its brows, but after just a few short monts, nodded in resignation. "Very well... I'll sit in the back with the plebeian human woman."

"T-The what...? Rael?" Caedia finally snapped out of it. "T-That doesn't happen to be who I think it is, right?"

"Yep, that's the Beast," Rael replied flatly, causing her eyes to widen. "But don't worry, he doesn't bite... I think?"

"Very funny..." the Beast muttered. "I shall take the seat on the right. You, woman, stay away from or else my wife will devour tonight."

With those words, the Beast walked off, crossing the wooden-plank bridge and stepping inside the car.

anwhile, Caedia remained rooted in place, unable to move from sheer fear.

"As I said, he's not going to hurt either of us for the ti being. Just try not to piss him off, though—I'd wager he has a short temper," Rael said, tapping her on the shoulder before walking over to the car.

After a few short monts, she began following him, then sped up her pace to match his.

"J-Just who are you, anyway? You're acquainted with the Hollow King and the Beast? This is not sothing a normal human could accomplish..." she asked, and he rely shrugged.

"Look, I didn't sign up to be their friend, it was just circumstances that led here. So I'd recomnd just keeping quiet and going about your day. I'll bring you back, and I'll ask for compensation from the other empresses, so I'd be glad if you backed when we're there," Rael said plainly.

Finally, he got to the car and stepped inside, with the trembling Caedia doing the sa.

Of course, he soon turned on autopilot, which began heading toward the monunt above the Ruins of Saltre.

However, just as he thought all the surprises were over, sothing smacked against his windshield, prompting Rael to hit the brakes.

But in the very next mont, a bat flew through the open window, landing right on his lap.

"Ew, what the fuck—Thalor?" Rael's eyes widened as he inspected the bat on his lap.

—Thalor, The Vampire Noble (General Class Boss) [Level 198] [28/298,661,722 HP]

"H-Help ..." Thalor muttered, but before Rael could even say a single word, the Beast reached out from the back and grabbed Thalor.

And to everyone's surprise, the Beast's mouth opened wide—much more than should be possible—and in the very next mont, it swallowed Thalor whole.

Rael stared at the scene in shock. "Holy fucking shit. You just ate a vampire."

"Did I? It looked like a bat to ," the Beast shrugged.

"Do bats talk?" Rael pushed. "Because that one definitely did."

"The ones that talk are the tastiest," the Beast chuckled. "Anyways, what's done is done. He's already been digested. No use crying over spoiled milk is the saying, I believe?"

What a fucking maniac... Rael sighed. "We're moving now, please don't eat Caedia."

"No problem, I shall take a quick nap."

Like Seryn, the Beast imdiately fell asleep. However, its head soon hit the window and startled it awake.

"Who dares to wake from my slumber!?"

"..." Rael didn't even bother to entertain the conversation as he put his foot on the gas pedal and rode away.

The last 10 minutes were pretty quiet, and thankfully, the Beast managed to fall asleep peacefully.

However, it seed like they would need to get out, as the Ruins of Saltre were right in front of them.

He considered heading straight for the monunt, but since he'd likely visit this strange world often, Rael decided to get accustod to the surroundings.

Unlike the rest of the cities, the Ruins of Saltre were down a hill, to the point where the coast was visible.

But Rael didn't need to be a genius to know that whoever steps foot in the water swiftly becos serpent food.

Still... I can see so shipwrecks in the sea, Rael thought with interest as he stepped out of the car and began heading toward the Ruins of Saltre.

It seed like Caedia was trailing not too far away from him, likely not wanting to be left alone in a car with the Beast.

He paid her no mind, however, and finally reached the ruined city.

Of course, there was rubble wherever the eye could see, even the remnants of those who lived here were unrecognizable.

rchants maybe? Why else would they have ships... Rael thought as a wild idea struck his mind.

What if everything was fine at so point... but then sothing ca along and brought the monsters here? The Beast, maybe?

It was just speculation at this point, and unless he asked the Beast directly, he would never know.

Despite that, he walked through what was left of the streets, until he finally arrived in front of a barely standing church.

I guess I can pray for good luck.

Rael stepped inside and arrived before the pedestal. However, just as he was about to say so bullshit prayer, he spotted an object placed at the very bottom of the pedestal.

And the mont he picked it up and inspected it, his eyes widened.

What in the fuck...?
