Chapter 136: Happy without him?
"Every demon you fight here will have a badge on its chest, the one with the highest number of badges will be the winner in the end." The commander explained as he gazed over the teenagers.
’Sigh, at their age I was busy playing and pranking my teachers. These young fellas... they haven’t even experienced the true despair of this world. They shouldn’t have been called here.’ The commander sighed internally. Only one or two would survive against the demons and the rest would end up dead.
"Is there any doubt?" he asked, and after no one spoke, he gestured for them to move.
Twin brothers went in one direction, Max went to another, while the pair of Tyler and Jace silently followed behind him. Vritra headed in another direction and coincidentally, Fiona seemed to have chosen the same direction as him. She maintained a little distance but stayed close to him.
The guards spread across the place and began to watch over them, ready to take action the moment the need arose.
After ten or so minutes, when Vritra and Fiona had travelled a bit farther, they heard the sound of a demon. It was a snake demon and had the ability to crawl through the ground.
HISSSSSS
It suddenly shot out of the ground and viciously charged towards Fiona, who was taken off guard. Fire rose around her hands as she threw it at the demon, but the fireballs only hit the tail of the snake, which didn’t slow it down much.
But before it could get close to her, Vritra hit the head of the snake with a dust hammer, turning it to minced meat in an instant.
"Kiyaaaaah!" Fiona screamed, as she jumped into his arms like a scared rabbit, clinging to him for her dear life.
"It’s alright, you are safe now." Vritra said as he patted her back lightly.
