Chapter 33. A new team
"I... I won't tell you anything!" I growled, struggling against the shadowy snakes constricting my body. But the more I fought, the tighter their grip became.
"You're stubborn. I like that," the demon said, her lips curling into a wicked grin. "But everything has a breaking point, human. Even you."
"Just let go of me!" I thrashed, but the shadow snakes slithered up and coiled over my mouth, silencing me.
Without another word, the female demon turned and walked away, her shadows dragging me behind her. I don't know if it was exhaustion or the suffocating air of the demon realm, but eventually, I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was lying on a couch. My eyes darted around the room, taking in my surroundings. To be honest, it wasn't what I expected from a demon's lair. No walls of bones, no eerie torches flickering with cursed flames. Instead, the place was... cozy with normal-looking furniture inside. Or at least that's what l thought until I realized the couch I was on had spider-like legs that twitched.
Like any sane human, I jumped up, screaming.
"You don't know how to wake up quietly, human, do you?" A frustrated voice came from the next room.
I turned just in time to see the demon milf walking toward me.
Of course, I stepped back, scanning for anything I could use as a weapon.
"You look like a lost kitten," she smirked.
"I feel like one," I muttered, finally grabbing what looked like a kitchen knife and pointing it at her. "Stay back."
