Stray

The sun finally sank on the horizon. They had been walking for an entire day.

The temperature had dropped, but it was a pity that it went too low. Oliver rubbed his hands and exhale a faint white mist. To prevent the tip of Adrian’s bow from poking in any direction, he still kept his back straight. Nemo was a lot more comfortable. He himself wasn’t afraid of the cold. After his physique strengthened, he became like a fish in water. He didn’t even bother adding on another layer to himself and generously gave Oliver his coat.

That thing is still following them.

“Arthropod lizard. Intermediate demon,” the knight commander explained succinctly. “This one left its group, probably because it’s interested in Mr. Light.”

“Is this thing an intermediate demon?” Nemo’s impression of intermediate demons was something more terrifying, like the deadwood jellyfish. He turned around in surprise and glanced at the little thing still behind them. Its head was not much different from the fuller goat in size, and it walked like it was swaying. It was full of the aura of a subordinate demon.

“Categorically speaking, yes. They use Abyssal magic for their spells.” Adrian glanced at the arthropod lizard with no intention of doing anything. “Their strength is pretty strong when they act in groups, but their personalities are very docile and generally they don’t hurt people.”

“You are really impious.” Jesse Dylan buttoned his coat and breathed on his hands. “That’s a demon! Won’t you destroy it, Mr. Knight Commander?”

“It’s alive and well, it didn’t do anything. I have no reason to bother it.”

“…You’re really ungodly.”
