Chapter 76 - 76 Hunted
"Come out little Demon!!!!" Shouted Hans angrily as he and his horde searched for me. I was currently hiding behind a tree with my [Stealth] trait active. You might be wondering why I was hiding if I had the [Stealth] trait active…well the answer is rather simple…Hans. Even though he couldn't sense my aura, he has proven over and over again that aura wasn't the only way to detect someone. The crunch of leaves, the lingering gaze of your enemy,…..the flapping of wings. If I made even the slightest movement he would shoot fireballs in the general direction and order his subordinates to search that area almost getting me caught many times. If you're wondering why I don't just wait until they leave then the answer remains the same….Hans. He doesn't allow his subordinates to leave the area unless they did a very thorough search and they were really thorough. Thinking about the amount of times I had to change hiding spots made my eyelids twitched and my aura almost leaked due to my rage.
"Split up into groups of four and search this forest and I don't want you back until you found that damn Demon." He said and the Greater imps quickly split into groups of four and as the last three imps came to group up with Hans he stopped them by raising his hand.
"No I will search alone. You guys continue on ahead. We'll meet back here in two hours." He said and ran off into the forest.
'This guy just made everything easier for me.' I thought but I was still suspicious that Hans had some other reason for setting up the groups so I waited. I stood behind the tree for more than an hour and moved after I sensed Hans' aura a sufficient distance away. I spread my wings and flew back to the city to tell everyone about the situation.

Hans POV
'It seems the little Demon took the bait.' I thought as I sensed the Demon flying through the sky.
'The [Unique Trait: Predator] is really worthy of a warrior of Bellicus such as I. A trait that gives one both advanced perception and stealth skills, this unique trait that was deemed useless by the nobles of Bellicus, is finally proving it's worth.' I thought remembering a dreadful memory, one that I hoped to forget. Shaking that dreadful memory from my past out of my mind, I ran through the forest under the Stealth ability provided by my unique trait. As I ran after the Demon, I left [Markers], small nearly imperceptible traces of aura that would only be noticed by those that are looking for them, so that my horde can track me when they came back so that all of us can make him pay for what he did to members of our horde…..to our children. I tried my best to suppress my unbridled rage towards the Demon so that my aura wouldn't leak, but the rage wouldn't be quelled until I made that Demon pay in blood.
'I knew it.' I thought as I saw the Demon enter the human city we were going to invade. By now my veins were bulging because of the rage that was coursing through my veins as hot as the magma that flows through the plain of Cinis. I followed the Demon to a house made of a weak stone and as he entered a brown haired woman ran out.
'So that's the vampire, I'll kill them both.' I thought and charged at the two traitorous fiends, disregarding any form of stealth I roared loudly releasing my suppressed rage and waves of energy that destroyed the demons weak house giving me a small bit of satisfaction, that served as an appetizer before the main dish to come.
