[VRMMO] Dead One

"Oron! How are the things looking?!" – shouted GreyHunt as he rode on his horse alongside the carriage at the high speed while also returning back to the forest.

"Its fast! That giant demonic entity is coming towards us and is catching up!" – replied Oron.

"Is it an demon dragon?" – asked GreyHunt.

"No! Its not flying! Its running here!"

*STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP*

"?!"

"W-what was that?!" – said scared human knight as the group began hearing giant stops coming from nearby and slowly getting closer.

"Shut it and run!" – said GreyHunt.

"You focus on your own skin and let us do the heavy lifting!"

"…."

"…!"

"INCOMING!" – shouted Oron as he took out his crossbow before monsters later an three was thrown direct at the caravan, but before it could reach it, Oron crossbow completely blew up the tree midair.

However, right afterwords several other trees were throw directly at the group, forcing Oron and GreyHunt to open fire and destroy the trees before they could reach eh caravans.

"!"

"GreyHunt! That giant is speeding up!" – shouted Oron.

"I can fuking tell! The sounds of the stomps are coming closer!" – said GreyHunt.

"…."

For moment the barrage of the flying trees stopped, but exactly the moment after stopping, an giant snake like limb came flying, reaching the convoy.

However, as it was about to, an giant bolt of fire came and blew up the snake like head, however as one was forced to retreat, an second head came and almost got the caravan from the side, but before it could, GreyHunt rushed in on his horse and used his demonic blade to push back the snake head.

"!"

"EVERBODY! BE CAREFUL! WE ARE REACHING THE FOREST EXIT!" – shouted the demon knight on the demonic horse.

The group managed to leave the forest area, but as soon as they did, an giant shadow suddenly covered them all, before then something giaganting flew and landed right in front of the entire caravan, causing them all to stop in the place.

"?!"

The giant shadow covered the skies, alarming the group, before moments later an sound of stomps could be heard.

But it wasn't caused by the feets or hooves, it was caused by the giaganting beastly arms.

*OROROROROROROR*

"?!"

"Wait, WHAT?!" – shouted Oron in disbelieve.

"What?! Do you know what that thing is?!" – asked GreyHunt.

"I FUKING KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS, BUT WHY IS IT HERE?!" – shouted Oron.

"The hell lord Ka'guran?!"

The group stared in disbelieve as the giant shadow revealed its form, showing off the strongest form of the Hell Lord that he had used in the last war.

However, this form was obviously way different. Its color palled through the body was completely inverted.

"?!"

"Wait, HELL LORD?!" – shouted GreyHunt.

"That thing is the Hell Lord?!"

"Yea! I saw it from the distance when I was battling the hell lord right hand man! Its Hell Lord strongest form that he used and almost killed ClownFrog with." – said Oron.

"But something is off! All of his colors are inverted?!"

"…"

"So, is it like an fake or something?" – asked GreyHunt.

"How am I supposed to know?"

*OROROROROROROR*

The giant creature swinged down its claws, forcing Oron and GreyHunt to blast the claws in order to knock them away.

"Demons! Take these guys to safety! Just get the fuck out of here!" – shouted GreyHunt.

"Y-yes sir! You lot! This way!" – shouted the demon knight before trying to move away, only to get stopped as the giant snake limb came his way, alarming the demon who tried swing his sword, but before he could reach the snake, GreyHunt once again rushed in on his horse and cut the snake, forcing it back.

"GET OUT! DON'T DIE FOR NO REASON!" – shouted GreyHunt, forcing the demons and the humans to run away.

The giant creature tried attacking the running away demons and humans, but each time It tried to, Oron alongside GreyHunt bombarded it movements, holding the creature in place, with gave enough time for the caravan to escape.

"…."

"Hey. I know we are buying time and all, but I was shooting to kill." – said Oron.

"Me too. This isn't normal." – said alarmed GreyHunt as the duo observed the creature regenerating and even restoring one of the smashed snake heads.

"…. This is definitely not the Hell Lord Ka'guran." – said Oron.

"I can fuking tell." – replied GreyHunt.

"ClownFrog completely obliviated his body, leaving nothing behind."

"And even if that guy has some sort of revival ability, it wouldn't explain shit about him being here!"

"If that guy really revived, then why the fuck are they are using him like hunting dog!"

"Yea, and there is also the fact that we are destroying his body. ClownFrog said that when he took that final form of his, he could pretty much tank any attacks with ease and don't have any parts of his body destroyed." – said Oron.

(Still, even if that thing maybe fake, it's still formidable enemy.) – though Oron.

(Those things attacks are heavy as fuck and there also that high regeneration rate. I do know as of fact that the hell lord has an regenerative ability, but did that giant form of his had that kind of regenerative powers?)

*OROROROROROROR*

The giant turned around and began running away, but before he could, Oron unleashed an rain of fire and acid magi at the creature, stopping it's in tracks.

"That fucker doesn't care about us! He is focusing on the caravans!" – shouted Oron.

"Then focus on his movements! Lock them up!" – replied GreyHunt as he began rushing towards the creature on his horse, but before he could get close, the giant snake head came and bashed GreyHunt horse, sending it flying, but not the GreyHunt who jumped high into the air, dodging the attack.

However, the second snake limb came, hitting GreyHunt who somehow managed to block the attack and somehow manage his landing after getting send flying.

*OROROROROROROR*

(This thing is straight an beast. Just an beast, not an person.) – though Oron as he opened fire at the creature, but not being able to land an proper hit as it used its arm as an shield, before then using its other hand to try and strike Oron who leaped away.

(Still, its power is abnormal high alongside that fuking regenerative ability.)

(I'm also not picking anything with my [Weakness Detection] or [Core Detection].)

(It doesn't have any weakness? Its' not even detecting stuff like head or heart, with are usually the main thing those weakness detection skills say to me.)

(…. I'm not detecting any sort of magic nearby, so I doubt its remotely controlled puppet type enemy.)

"….!"

(Wait! I'm sensing something!)

"GreyHunt! There is another demonic signal coming from afar! And its coming this way!" – shouted Oron.

"!"

"What?! Another one?!" – said annoyed GreyHunt while dodging the giant creature attacks and counterattacking with his guns.

"No! Its much weaker, but I think there are several beings coming here! I can't tell! There is weird demonic energy there, making it hard to tell." – replied Oron.

"Shit! It must be empire soldiers!"

"Hey! Can you keep that thing occupied?! I will deal with empire soldiers!" – said Oron before ridding off.

"?!"

"Hey! Shit! He is already gone!" – said GreyHunt before dodging the giant snake head slam attack that pulverized the entire ground.

"…."

"Well…. I guess I'm doing this solo."

"…."

"…"

"Get ready. Something happens to the beast. Its is staying in place." – said the female knight while ridding an horse and holding the black grail.

"!"

The girl suddenly moved her head away as an crossbow bolt came flying past her, hitting and instantly killing the knight that was riding an horse.

"Sniper! Take cover!" – shouted the female knight.

"…"

(Did she saw it coming? Or was her reaction that good?) – though Oron while hiding among the trees.

(…. She is also the source of the demonic energy. Is she the one controlling the demon?)

Oron without hesitation opened fire, firing an crossbow infused with the fire that hit and completely demolished the tree where the female knight was hiding, while also causing an giant explosion of flames.

"…"

"What are you idiots waiting for?! Demons! Find the sniper!" – shouted the female knight voice.

"!"

(She is alive?) – though Oron as he saw the demonic beast running towards him.

"…"

Oron aimed to the side, firing his crossbow, shooting his crossbow bolt not towards the demonic beast or the empire soldiers, seemingly missing the attacks on the purpose.

However, moments later, several corpse began popping out from invisibility.

(Assassins?) – though Oron before then firing again an barrage of crossbow bolts and taking out some of the assassins hiding, while also forcing the remaining ones to exit their invisibility and run away, dodging the attacks.

(The fuking nobles. They only said stuff about cavalry. There was nothing about demonic beast or the assassins.)

"…."

"[Ballista Bomb]." – Oron aimed behind him before then firing and blowing up multiple trees.

"…. Bastard." – said the injured female knight as she emerged from the shadows.

"Huh. Did you though I wouldn't notice you, traveling through the shadows?" – asked Oron.

(Still, I was aiming for the kill…. An high ranking officer by the look of things.) – though Oron.

"Well, I never though things would be easy with you. Considering the fact that you are one of the strongest members of the Garog kingdom. Oron." – said the woman as she tiled the grail, causing an blackish liquid to pour out, alarming Oron who shot at the woman, only for something akin to an wolf to jump out of the shadow and take the bolt, killing the creature instantly, but protecting the female knight.

"…."

"An demonic artifact." – said Oron.

(Well, this will be annoying.)
