AT. DEMON SLAYER
Chapter 22 - Monstareum Mozzarck 1

***

Artemis finally led them into a room faced with a stone wall running dead end, mimic grimly adrift in his face, slowly his hand reached for a stone artifact with a picture of a flower of flowers engraved on the wall covered by moss leaves.

Artemis removed the moss and injured her palm, the blood dripping from her hand was deliberately flowed into the carving of a picture of a flawless flower.

slowly the rocky wall in front of him moved, fragments of debris fell down which was not long before the stone wall was opened slowly.

" Come in. "the word artemis casts his face, but all are silent on the wall of the stone door.

" Haish." sighed, artemis glanced towards xavier and kenz who seemed doubtful.

" Then I go in first. "continue said artemis.

Without saying much artemis then entered the room behind the stone wall first to convince xavier and kenz if there was no intention or any evil plan on them.

After seeing artemis enter the room, not long after kenz entered which was followed by aluna and xavier.

Finally, after entering the stone door, they are now in the mozzarck monstareum.

" What is this place? " all looks foreign in the eyes of kenz, he did not think there was a place like this in the region of the demon beast kingdom.

Artemis, who had been waiting since, was leaning against the stone wall with her head bowed and her hands folded, she turned to xavier and kenz who had just come especially to her confused sister.

Suddenly Aluna became limp, her eyes became blurry misty, before long she fell unconscious.

At once xavier also caught the body of the fallen aluna following with a baby basket carried by her, "aluna...! " cried artemis from a distance who immediately ran towards her sister.

" What did you do to my sister?! " artemis directly pushed xavier and took aluna.

" What are you talking about?! "

" I didn't do anything to him. "excitedly asserted xavier right then and there.

" He helped your sister" continued Kenz, explaining.

" I don't know what happened to your sister, but surely your sister lost a lot of her life energy" said xavier.

" Why did he lose his life energy? "

" I think you yourself already know that. "continued said xavier, but artemis just fell silent not to argue or give any response, he just seemed worried about the state of aluna.

While the feeya were regained consciousness, it faintly heard their conversation from under the kenz robe.

This time Feeya woke up slowly, all still looking as dark as before.

But when Feeya looked up, she saw a faint beam of light entering the crevices of the robe worn by kenz.

" Maybe that's the way out of this, "think feeya at that time, he also began to crawl out of the kenz cloak by holding on to the surface of the cloth from the robe and trying to climb it.

Arriving above the feeya peeked out from the gap of the robe, and he saw that aluna had become unconscious.

" luna! " feeya's eyes that were still faint became shocked.

" What's going on?! " feya immediately glanced at xavier sharply, "was he the one who injured miss aluna? " look at suspiciously.

Feeya immediately flew out from behind the kenz robe and approached aluna and artemis, "miss aluna...! " cried feeya who was worried.

When he heard the cry of feeya artemis, he turned to his head, "master artemis, what happened to miss aluna? " ask feeya, worried.

" Feeya, there's no time. "

" Hurry up and do something for Aluna...! " cry artemis at once.

Feeya himself did not know what to do, but he remembered the noble erl marline who was the guardian of this place before aluna and artemis.

•••

" Feeya remember...! "

" Mistress erl marline stored many life medicinal herbs within the medicine room.

As soon as he heard the words of feeya, without saying much artemis immediately raised the body of his sister aluna, and, he and Feeya brought aluna into a room at the end of the place where two pillars stood on the right and left sides.

When he heard the name erl marline from feeya, xavier seemed to remember the name.

" Erl marline...? " the little words of xavier which in his mind the name uttered by feeya felt familiar to him, but he still did not remember clearly who the figure of the marline erl.

" Let's follow them" said kenz patting xavier on the shoulder.

" You go first I want to be here first" replied xavier, who seemed to be watching around the place.

" Well, "the kenz goes right after the feeya and the artemis.

Xavier who seemed to still think hard about the place where he was now according to the order of queen azarya on him, "now I have been here, but where the hell is the guard? " while staring at the empty space inside the mozzarck monstareum cave where almost the entire wall is made of layers of metamorphic rocks and in every corner there are many pneumatolotic stones that have been crystallized so that become a gemstone.

" How can I find him? "

" It is certain that the two of them are not the guards of this place. "

" Who are those two? "

" Where is the real keeper of this place? "

" Why didn't I see or feel her figure from earlier? " so many questions in xavier's mind continue to harass him.

" What erl marline do they mean is the real guard of this place? "

" That name seems familiar to me. "then xavier thought, glaring and trying to remember the figure of erl marline called erl marline by feeya.

" Maybe I should still rely on them in order to find him. "

" It's better now that I catch up with them, and help save the girl. "

" At least I got to this place because of them. "

" I can't deny that they're contributing to this. "

" Especially they were also nobles of the witchers, they were from the same race as me. "xavier said at the time, trying to control the emotional control within him.

" Hmmm.. "xavier thought again while holding his chin, "on second thought." xavier suddenly remembered when he first met aluna and artemis, at that time, he felt he had known them both.

" Alright, it seems like I have to figure out who they are even more" said xavier with a faint smile that expanded, and he began to walk away from the room to the medicine room, the place where kenz, artemis, aluna and feeya are located.

***

While kenz was a little pangling to see where he was, "This place is very remarkable. "from the first he entered the earthareum until he arrived here, he had never expected that there was a place like this underground within the demon beast kingdom.

Especially when kenz reached the medicine room, "this is more than just a medicine room. "kenz is still mired in every piece of equipment in it, even within the demon beast kingdom itself did not have such complete equipment.

" What are you noticing? " tanya xavier approaches kenz.

" Abviously surprised by all this? "

" What is there to be surprised by all this? " continue xavier who reviewed the entire room.

" sthat mean? " kenz looked to xavier, questioning xavier's remarks.

" From time immemorial the civilization of the nobles was far more advanced than that of humans, both in terms of strength, immortality, including technology and weaponry. "

" But unfortunately your selfishness, greed, covetousness, and envy of men to match us nobles make you this way. " obviously xavier back then who was like opening a few bottles of medicine and smelling it.

In the little heart of kenz at that time was like remembering himself and wondering what xavier meant to him earlier, "the figure I am wearing right now is the one who made a pact with me. " remember the inner kenz, trying to digest xavier's speech.

" When the 5 desperate onimushas accidentally met us the demons of the tribe of Sammu Ashgumarodied, I don't know where they came from but at that time they emerged from a dimensional space and they arrived at the demon beast country only to gain tremendous power and then they decided to become our servants. " remember kenz will return to the status of the onimusha figure he wore.

" While they know that in order to gain strength and immortality, some must be sacrificed, even if they sacrifice themselves, they do not care about it. "

" Now they are gone, as the covenant was made, when they were gone, their spirit of life became food only for us your fellow men and their bodies we could use as we pleased. " thought kenz back then in his daydream.

" What does that mean? "

" Is it really like that? "

" Human beings became so greedy and greedy for what they wanted, making them ally with the demons. "

" Is everyone worth getting all this? " question after question keeps rolling in kenz's mind as if opening up every meaning of emptiness in his heart all this time.

" From then on, there is no reason for me to remain in this demon beast kingdom. "

" If not to seek him out and protect him. "

" Saiyaka. "

" I think now your sister has been able to protect herself, and at least she has now become a confidant of the demon beast king. "

" Nobody would dare to hurt himself anymore" said Kenz at the time revealing the contents of his mind in his own heart, but the sound of a broken bottle of medicine resuscitated him from his daydream.

__Prank!!!__

" How could there not be?! "

" No not this..., this one isn't, is it, is it, isn't it, where is the drug? " Exciting grouse artemis was troubled by not finding the medicine of life he was looking for, because so furious he searched with impatience artemis a lot of bottles of medicine were wasted.

Xavier detected the kind of wasted drugs, "this is all precious drugs. "look at xavier and look at artemis.

" He became a little sane. "xavier scorned with a small voice, annoyed at the overly gratuitous behavior of artemis.

Kenz who saw it also seemed disturbed, but he did not want to interfere so much that he chose to stay away and stand near the pillar in front of the door while contemplating again.

•••

" ye! "

" Can't you calm down a bit?! " excited xavier's reprimand, but Artemis paid no heed to his reprimand and acted the same way in front of xavier.

" Feeya, how did you not find the cure? " tanya artemis was so panicked and impatient, that the xavier could only take a deep breath.

But xavier's eyes were disturbed at a baby basket that was brought by aluna earlier, in his memory, the baby in the basket was a baby demon.

It bothered him to try to see the baby back, "where did this baby come from? " think xavier looked at the baby who was still in the basket and placed on a one-foot table made of marble rocks.

" Why do they have a demon baby? " then thought xavier, whose feet stumbled upon a large white eagle lying on the floor beside the stone table.

" Hmmm, this bird? "

" If it was not wrong, Artemis also took him, but as soon as he left first I did not see him again. "

" It seems that he had put it here. "xavier bowed his body and tried to examine the white eagle.

" It looks like this bird is hurt really badly. "

" His back was two kinds of wounds, and one of the wounds seemed to be very poisonous" said little xavier, suddenly the crown prince's baby in xavier's arms was crying.

At once the cry of the baby crown prince woke the queen azarya who was injured and unconscious in the form of a white eagle, faintly the white eagle's eyes opened slowly and saw the xavier in front of him holding the crown prince's baby.

The baby continued to cry as if he could feel the pain felt by the bird, "it seems that you like the eagle, and were sad to see it hurt. " xavier looked at the baby crown prince who seemed to want to be near the white eagle.

Xavier let go of his shackle and placed the crown prince's baby next to the white eagle, so that slowly his cries began to subside.

" We see what I can do to save this bird. "xavier smiled as he examined the eagle's wound, and was countered by the crown prince's little baby laugh.

xavier stared at the towering medicine cabinet almost touching the surface of the ceiling above the cave, "it seems like it will be difficult to find the medicine needed, too many types of medicine here. " xavier was stunned for a moment to look at the medicine cabinet where each shelf was neatly arranged in all kinds of medicine bottles.

The noise of artemis made the xavier piqued so staring at him, "feeya quickly do something, there's no way you don't know where the potion of life lies ! " the cry of artemis forced Feeya to immediately find the potion of life in order to immediately save her sister's aluna.

Finally, inevitably, feeya had to take out advanced equipment from inside the necklace he reused, furtively feeya circled a closet and swore behind the last closet so as not to be seen by anyone when later he wanted to use his magic amulet stone necklace.

" It's far away, no one saw it either. " said little feeya who wobbly looking left and right and then looking at the artemis he saw was still busy looking for drugs in the other cupboard.

" It seems safe that no one will see. "before long feeya again took out the ancient notebook again from the necklace that became a book of knowledge for feeya, because everything is written in the book and stored in it.

After that, Feeya immediately opened the book and opened on the list of medicines named erl marline, "the medicinal herb of life " said Feeya whispering to the book in a small voice so as not to be heard by the others.

Then the book traced the list of names of life medicine potions made by erl marline, Then quickly the book issued a list of the names of the life potions that feeya was looking for and it was written there that all the drugs were not stored in the closet but in a box in magic amulet belonging to erl marlines.

Without realizing by feeya if from earlier xavier secretly noticed himself and his antiques from a distance, "unique objects! " said xavier who suddenly appeared behind his feeya while smiling full of intrigue.

" The smile is terrible...! " call feeya in the heart.

" Why is he suddenly here?! " he asked back in his heart, who took a step back until pressed back against his book of knowledge.
