Chapter 89: Unicorn?

"There's a unicorn ahead of you, brother!"historical

Those words were so surprising that Celes woke up. But as she found herself in her master's arms, with his hand stroking her hair and cheek, she felt like going to sleep again. And that was what Leon told her to do as he smiled and pinched her little nose, making her cutely smile and close her eyes.

Leon then looked at the man. "Unicorn.."

Because of his two important cards, the dragon and dwarf, Leon had enough knowledge to know how bothersome that existence was. Yes, even these two races have uses for the unicorn!

"Is he on the run?" Leon asked the man.

The man nodded a few times rapidly. "That's the case! He's on the run, so he creates a lot of barriers around himself.. And then there are many people looking out for that unicorn, so it's too dangerous to go there if you aren't a virgin!"

The unicorns were mysterious creatures whose origins were unknown. No one knew where a herd of those beautiful horses lived, but many of them had been recorded across the eons. They appeared in many locations, but mainly in the human kingdoms and empires.

They rarely visited lands of monsters and beasts.

They are known as pure horses, with white and lush manes running across their backs. They have long and crystal horns on their foreheads and shining golden eyes. Unicorns rarely make friends with others, but a few human ladies had been spotted on their backs.

It soon became clear that those existences only allow virgin ladies to approach them. Moreover, their powers also helped them stay away from dirty people, creating barriers that no virgin couldn't pass through. Of course, the unicorns weren't omnipotent existences, so raw strength could break those transparent walls.

However, it was a hurdle that no one wanted to deal with.

Leon understood now why the man had been so confident in himself.

After all, Leon adventures with Celes and Alexandra, whose beauties are above the standards, people of this world can't really think differently of a man with beautiful girls.

But the reality was that only Leon couldn't go through those barriers.

Celes and Alexandra are virgins, each because of a different reason.

"Well, you're free. I'll still go down south and not take any detours." Leon thanked the man for his knowledge and wished him the best in his honest work.

For a moment, that man thought that Leon didn't believe him, but as Leon's carriage went forward, he knew that his life was safe. He treasured his only silver coin and quickly ran to the inn to get himself a good meal! Today was the best day for him!

On the other hand, Leon waited for his first contact with the unicorn's self-defense.

"Where is that barrier? Oh! So I'm not alone!" Leon laughed out loud as he saw his horses hitting the invisible wall, whining at it.

His animal friends cast him irritated glances, then pulled the carriage to the sidewalk. Leon patted their backs, then approached the barrier, expecting it to hit him! But nothing like that occurred!

Leon easily went through it as though he was a virgin!

From behind, he heard his horses chortling, so he wheeled to them and glowered. "You guys just lost your job, you know?"

The horses still howled with laughter.

"Well, I guess it's Louise's fault." Leon had Louise within himself. Even though she had turned into raw energy, her body and consciousness were, in a way, within him. Their bodies became like one, so the barrier couldn't see through Leon's, or it wasn't that strong to begin with.

"I don't doubt you, Master." Celes spoke in an amused tone, ambling to the invisible wall. Her voice drew Leon's attention, then as she went through the barrier, Celes slowly swirled and waved her hand at him. She felt unexpectedly ecstatic about that and ensured that her master saw her easily going through it.

Leon just grinned.

For him, it didn't matter whether a lady was a virgin or not. Of course, it'd be good to know her sexual life beforehand. For example, if she had had way too many partners before, Leon naturally would be more conscious of her. Inwardly, he believed there was no way for him to become more than friends with such a girl — but you never know, for people change.

But virginity was not that important to Leon. If Athena had a few partners before him, he wouldn't mind it and would love her the same.

At the same time, Leon understood how precious virginity was.

Therefore, he curved his lips and showed those feelings to the vampiress. If things end up the way he thought they would, Leon naturally will show the vampiress those peculiar feelings in a way she would never forget them.

But for now, it was time to take matters into his hands.

"You two rest in the cards." Leon looked at his horses and turned them into cards. As he held these two animals in his hands, Leon understood that he soon would lose that power and his adventuring would become more challenging.

But was that really the case?

After throwing his cards into his inventory, Leon shifted his eyes to the dragon maid. "Dragon form."

"As you wish, my master..." Alexandra bowed, then her curvaceous form shone bright, wrapping her clothes and stuffing them in her's inventory. With that process done, Alexandra became the vast dragon that had once hurt Leon and his party so much that it showed.

Celes' good mood evaporated, and Leon glowered at the dragon.

But just for a moment as he knew that things weren't the same.

In her dragon form, she was like a giant or even more, so Leon and Celes had to climb up her back for some time. Even after using his chains as an elevator, Leon and Celes remained in the air for at least five minutes before getting a solid grounding.

On her head, Leon took out a blanket, then sat down.

Celes took his lap.

"We fly south now." Leon said in a cool tone.

The dragon's wings spread widely! In her tail, Alexandra carefully held the carriage, then her form went up, taking over the skies and scaring a few guilds with her presence.

And so, the dragon flew south..

"Do we need a unicorn or his blood?"

"Hmm.. I don't think so, Master."

Alexandra also shared her thoughts. "I'd love to see that unicorn and see his story.. Maybe he's searching for someone he loves..."

Leon and Celes remained expressionless to these words.
