AT. DEMON SLAYER
Chapter 6 - Forest Mist Caridbian 1

***

That day the clear-looking sky turned dark and was filled with the rumbling sounds of strong winds and flashes of lightning flashing about.

In the depths of the forest of the demon beast country, which was so dark and shrouded in a fog so thick that the layer of air contained therein was very thin, there was no creature that could survive in it.

Hosh...

From a distance there seemed to be a man hiding behind a large and towering redwood tree, with a breath that was stingy and so exhausted, he leaned against the tree trunk while briefly peeking around the place around him.

" It would be problematic if they got me. "said the man who turned out to be xavier the loyal servant of the azarya queen who was a witch noble.

Suddenly the crown prince he was carrying was crying with his firmness, "sstttt..., good boy calm down. "xavier tried to make the crown prince to stop crying, so he could not help but cry, but who would have thought the crown prince's cry was getting hardened so that it was heard by the demon beast army brought by the dreezel at that time.

" You heard that...! " excited dreezel around the outside of the forest area.

" It was the sound of crying babies, it meant they were in there" continued Dreezel asserting to the entire army of demon beasts that he was carrying at the time.

Only a few seconds later did the dreezel speak, then there was the sound of laughter from someone in the back row of the demon beast army led by him.

" Kkekee.. kkee. kkee. "the man laughs with a chuckle, which turns out the man is a drako.

Drako walked limped with a body full of wounds and bound in chains, he walked step by step with his legs dragged because they were tied to a very large iron ball chain.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Dreezel, we tried to hold him back, but he managed to break the chains that bound him. " said a soldier who had just come and brought some other demon beast warriors to hold the drako back.

Kkee...

Drako took off his laughter again, "mister dreezel, hahaha." his laughter returned at that time making the dreezel become so angry.

Dreezel clenched his hands and tried to hold back his anger, "shut your mouth is drako! " the jolt of the dreezel gives a firm warning to the drako, but the drako deliberately provoked the emotions of the dreezel by returning to laughter.

Haaa. hhaaa...

" Basic suck! " drako sindir deliberately underestimated dreezel in front of the soldiers.

" What kind of army leader are you? "

" You cannot recognize this forest" continued Drako to the dreezel very cynically.

" Ckkk. kkeeee... kkee." continued the laughter drako again with a chuckle.

Dreezel began to be unable to hold back his emotions anymore, he walked up to the drako and gave a raw bogem right in his face.

Bruggh...!

But the blow did not make the drako fall, he still stood up, "cih...! if you dare why don't you enter the forest yourself! " further exclaimed drako deliberately challenging dreezel.

Dreezel became increasingly heated, from the slits of his fingers then came out a sharp thorns like a knuckle weapon, which around his arm issued a black smoke of death that was so concentrated.

DEVIL BOXING...!

The cry of the dreezel took out his demonic fist, but when the punch almost penetrated the draco, suddenly came the kenz holding the dreezel hand and holding the dreezel fist.

" Stop kenz! " cried the dreezel holding his fist because he saw the kenz now standing in front of him.

" Don't stop me! " continue exclaiming dreezel with full anger and ready to finish off his opponent.

" Silence and stop this right now! " kenz's orders back then to dreezel.

" but... "

" I said stop, then stop! " cut said kenz gave orders to dreezel so that the dreezel was forced to restrain himself and immediately stop the feud.

Then Kenz walked closer to the drako, and then he broke the iron chain that bound the entire body of the drako with a single slash using his palm.

After Kenz releases the drako, he orders the drako to lead the army of demon beast warriors to enter the forest and capture the intruder who kidnapped the crown prince.

" remember this is your last chance, or you will end up nameless" said little kenz who was beside the drako.

Those words were like a death gesture to Drako, because he knew so much about the forest and all the rumors of mystery in it even though he had never experienced it directly.

But it actually becomes a big question mark for dreezel, because dreezel does not know anything about the forest, but that does not mean he is not able to establish this mission.

Plus seeing kenz's uncharacteristic attitude, as if kenz did not want him to carry out this task, so it raises a big question mark and jealousy in the bottom of the dreezel heart.

" Why did he stop me? "

" why did he even untie the loser's drako ? " think dreezel who wonders in his little brain.

" What does kenz actually do? and now he instead orders the drako who leads the army to replace me" said dreezel in his small heart back.

" Kenz what the fuck is this? " dreezel questioned kenz's unilateral decision, but unfortunately kenz didn't comment on the dreezel at all and walked past the dreezel.

" Hear Drako will now lead you into this forest ! " cried kenz to the ranks of the demon beast army that was there.

" Yin...! " cried dreezel furiously, but he tried to hold back his anger.

" Drako, quickly lead them into the forest! "

" Remember if you don't find the crown prince, then don't expect all of you to come back alive from the forest" kenz said at the time to the drako and the entire demon beast troop.

Drako can only obey the order, even though he knows that his life is at stake, but he still leads the army and immediately goes into the foggy forest.

Dreezel unhappily tried to block the drako, but kenz stood in front of him and stopped the dreezel act, "it's all for your own good. " said little kenz back then who then walked away leaving dreezel gone.

When the kenz was gone, soon the kai and kyorin arrived and saw that the dreezel was still there, and the one who left was the drako.

" You're still here? " said ask kai.

" Kenz stood in my way and instead trusted the loser drako who "had not finished dreezel answered all that, kai immediately cut dreezel speech.

" Huh...! I can guess. "

" Once again this time he sided with you. "come back said kai who then left the dreezel and immediately followed kenz.

" What is taking sides! "

" Obviously he sided with drako. "said dreezel who is still upset.

Then kyorin patted the back shoulder of the dreezel slowly, "that's because he wants to take care of you. "continue kyorin so that the dreezel does not misrepresent.

" After all you don't know how dangerous this caridbian fog forest is. " said Kyorin who then left the dreezel and followed kai and kenz.

The caridbian fog forest...

Who does not know the caridbian fog forest, a forest that is so quiet, dark, thick fog, even the layer of air inside is so thin, that there is no life in it.

The news that circulated all this time, if the forest was a bloody place and became a burial place for the nobelse, so that the land in the forest was cursed.

Very few living things can survive there, even so the place always makes creepy sounds that will sound like the sound of screams, cries, even the roar of wild animals, he said, but strangely when seen no one even animals do not look visible.

...

At that time a soldier led by Drako lit a fire torch as a light to light their way in the forest.

" Basic suck! " cry shouted Drako at once.

" What are you doing?! " so furious did Draco snatch the flame of the torch from the hand of his soldier, and then immediately extinguished the flame with his feet.

" Do you want to kill us all! " strongly shouted Drako scolding the soldier.

" Yes.but, the road ahead is getting darker. "

" How to search for people in the dark, if.ti.ti.do not light the light." replied the soldier who was disfigured for fear of the anger of the drako.

"The road ahead is getting darker, and the sun is setting, but that doesn't mean you can start a fire ! " strictly drako.

" Do you know why?! "

" That's because the more we get inside the thinner the air around it ! "

" Especially if night falls and this fog descends ! " excited clearly the drako who was then strangling the soldier.

" You know what it's like to be out of breath, right?! "

" How does it feel ? "

" Is it the same as strangulation?! " a small cry drako whispered to the soldier who then tightened his fingers strangled the soldier to the point of almost fainting, but not long after he released the demon beast warrior.

" Now listen carefully, follow the flow of this river! " drako's orders at that time.

" A lot of people say that the flow of this river empties into the sea. "

" According to the news I heard, if around the sea estuary there are many sea fireflies living there." explained Drako to the soldier.

" Take some of you there, and immediately catch the sea fireflies to be used as lamps. "

" Do it as soon as possible before it gets darker ! " drako's orders back then were waiting for his soldiers to return.

...

Drako's knowledge of every ins and outs of the demon beast kingdom is not just a figment of the thumb, because the demon beast devilme verrine race was a demon beast race that had an important role in the demon beast kingdom.

But their race has been destroyed since that last fight, when the great family of the demon beast devilme verrine race was ordered by the king of azzriel to destroy the demon race of the serpent tribe aphophis.

That time when the entire family delvime verrine was killed in the fight, but Drako actually managed to survive because at that time he fled, escaping, and that's why until now drako has always been considered a loser by other demon beasts.

Therefore, Drako always looking for a way and opportunity to be able to restore all his reputation as usual again.
