Chapter 144
#12 Other Stories: A Demon’s Story
I realized something was wrong when the cat cut Apir, the leader of the Dog Demon’s arm, as he opened the door. A normal demon would not be harmed by a cat, and Apir was a demon who could not be wounded by normal swords. That meant that the cat was not normal, and it transformed into a human to block Apir’s attack. The cat was one of the beast people, an aristocrat at that!
Another one came out, and it was an old man. However, I could not underestimate him as the old man’s body was that of the perfect warrior. He also held a sword emitting red light that could equal our master’s Demonic Weapon.
‘What is this place?’
What was the possibility of these two being in this small country near the succubus we were looking for? I now understood that this was a trap made by evil humans who knew of our circumstances. However, the humans did not seem to realize that each of us was deemed the strongest in the demon world.
It was understandable, as even if there was a traitor in our midst, only us and our master knew about the four of us coming here. However, the old man is difficult to handle, as his sword prowess and weapon quality were of the highest level. His flames even threatened me, an expert on flames!
‘It would not be good to let this go on long.’
A minute was enough for experts to know the opponent’s strength, and my enemy was strong. People who used this kind of warrior as a trap would have placed other fighters nearby, and I estimated that we were surrounded by them.
The only miscalculation the enemy made was our fighting abilities and would bring in extra firepower after realizing that we were stronger than they expected. We four would be outnumbered, which meant that it was time for us to run. However, we needed to take away that succubus’s descendant.
