AT. DEMON SLAYER
Chapter 7 - Forest mist caridbian 2

***

A short time later, the demon beast soldiers returned from the river and brought several glass tubes containing sea fireflies that gave off a bluish bright light.

" Good, with this we can enter this forest of mist" said Drako who then led the soldiers back into the depths of the caridbian fog forest.

Not too far away from the forest of mist caridbian, again drako and his troops heard the cry of a baby boy again.

The baby's voice sounded exactly the same as they had heard when they were still outside the forest, but this time the sound of crying was heard getting closer to the direction of the road they were walking.

" It looks like the intruder hasn't run too far. "

" Hurry up, we have to catch him immediately ! " cried Drako to the troops he brought.

...

Meanwhile in the depths of the caridbian forest...

Xavier who was so deftly jumping from the height of the towering redwood tree, he jumped from tree to tree while holding the crown prince who was then crying nonstop.

Then xavier paused and went downstairs to calm the crown prince's cry, "good boy, don't be afraid" said xavier as he examined the state of the crown prince who had been in his arms.

" The road below is getting darker, while from above it is very foggy. "

" When I walk down the path, I will leave a trail of my destination. "

" Fortunately there are many redwood trees here whose height is equivalent to skyscrapers. "

" Even so this is not good. "

" Plus it's dark, when it's getting night again. "think xavier who keeps laughing is not necessarily the direction.

Thought xavier back then if he just himself went through all of these things, then all of that wouldn't be a problem for him.

But this time there was a great responsibility that he had to protect, he had to put the safety of the crown prince above his own, because however now the life of the little baby was in his hands.

" I have no other choice, before the fog gets thicker, I have to get there right away" xavier thought as he looked at the crown prince's still-crying face.

" I promise I'll take you there soon, soft near the black hole's abyss. "

" Yeah, as Queen Azariah said. "

" I have to go there first to meet him. "

" For only he can deliver us through this forest and lead us to the mozzarck monstareum. " he said as he continued to think how to get through this fog forest and get to his destination immediately.

However, Xavier had to immediately return from his mind, because he suddenly heard the sound of the army of demon beasts getting closer.

" How is this? " the worry enveloped xavier, plus the crown prince who continued to cry made their existence easier to know.

" Be calm, clever boy. "xavier tried to calm the crown prince's cry.

Sssssttt...

" Smart kid, don't cry... "

Sssttt...

" It seems he doesn't want to be away from his mother. "

" Poor child. "little xavier thought sympathetically at the sight of the crown prince's cry.

Then xavier recalled the jade shards that were tucked in a cloth blanket that wrapped the tiny baby's body, "the stone shards? " it was a small mutter xavier who immediately examined the blanket worn by the crown prince.

" Thank God this rock is still there. "

" I almost forgot about this important thing as well. "after finding it, xavier held the jade fragment in his open palm.

" It's so beautiful...! " the piece of jade moonlight emitted a soft bluish-white light that could shine around the area where they stood.

Not long ago xavier took out that jade fragment, instantly the crown prince instantly stopped crying.

The light that glowed on the jade moon seemed to give a warm and cozy feeling to the crown prince, thus putting him to sleep.

" It seems you missed your mother's embrace. "

" That's why you fell asleep so comfortably" said xavier speaking in a small voice.

" Thank God, that way they won't be able to catch up with me anymore. "xavier then tied the crown prince tightly into his breaststrokes by using the baby blanket as a sling.

" Maybe this jade fragment could be a lamp for me. "

" I can now continue on this journey" said xavier in his heart as he looked at the face of the little baby in his arms with a smile.

" I have to leave right now and rush to the mozzarck monstareum"." continued xavier, back in his heart, and then left immediately.

Xavier immediately jumped on top of the tall redwood tree trunk, with just one jump he was already at the topmost level like piercing the sky.

Then xavier continued to jump from tree to tree so quickly, that the shadows were hard to see.

...

Even darker, the moonlight that should have shone that night seemed unable to penetrate the thick fog that covered the forest.

Armed with only a hint of light from the jade shards, the xavier continued to pierce through the thick darkness and fog that existed at the height of the ceiling of the endless-looking caridbian fog forest.

But at the same time, far away there a group of demon beast troops who were being led by drako continued to trace the path into the depths of the caridbian fog forest by simply following the origin of the sound of crying from the crown prince who was used as a guide for direction destination road.

Suddenly, the footsteps of the demon beast troops stopped walking immediately.

Drako who walked behind them then became very angry when he saw the soldiers even fell silent in confusion and spoke whispering with colleagues who were beside them, "what the hell?! " cried drako at that moment that was so echoing.

So without realizing it, if the cry of his voice had awakened a group of sleeping night animals berberger on the branches of redwood trees contained in the forest.

The black crows that had been awakened became irregularly flying and attacked them.

" What the hell are these black crows?! " said the drako who at that time fended off the attack of a bunch of black crows.

" Why are these crows attacking us?! " the furious drako who still did not realize that it was he who had made the wild animals attack them all.

Drako is increasingly upset that the black crows continue to fly relentlessly attacking him, thus making himself off guard and getting an attack wound on the temples of his eyes.

With so much anger, Drako immediately split a black crow that had just injured him earlier with just one slash of his fingers.

Tick. tick...

Granules of blood from the former crow flowing in the hand of the dripping draco fell down the ground into black smoke and reshaped into a black crow.

When he saw that the drako became fixated, so he did not realize that from behind him there was a large black crow that came closer and was about to attack him again.

" Beware...! " cried a soldier from behind trying to protect the drako from the attack of a black crow that was flying quickly towards the drako.

Cling... Slashwas... Blazzhh... !!!

Suddenly a slash from a long sword landed right in front of the drako face, when the drako was about to look back to see who had just shouted earlier.

Then the drako became silent unmoved when he saw the hunusan sword right in front of his face and hit the wings of the black crow, so that the crow immediately fell down the foot of the drako.

" Mister drako are you okay? " ask the soldier who released his sword and slashed the black crow that almost attacked the face of the drako just now.

Drako was silent for a moment in his wrath, with great anger he also stepped on the body of a raven that fell under his feet earlier, and again the blood that flowed from the black crow became black smoke which again formed a crow again.

" What the fuck is all this?! "

" The animals regenerated only from drops of blood. "

" Even their numbers were increasing. "drako continued to stare in astonishment.

" Stop...! "

" Stop all these stupid flying creatures...! " drako orders in his anger so loudly to the soldier

" Okay, sir! " said the soldier who then carried out the drako order.

The demon beast troops ordered by the dracoon to finish off the birds began to draw their sharp swords, which they had been told to, and several arrows were released until one by one the flying crows fell.

But again and again the ravens returned to their original form, and became more numerous.

" Report! "

" Sir, the birds, "said the soldier faltered as he was overwhelmed by the endless number of crows.

" The number of black crows continues to grow more and more and there is no end" said the soldier who gave a report on the drako.

Drako who saw that took a quick step and did not want to think long, "Obviously they are not ordinary crows" said Drako in his heart.

" What are you waiting for?! "

" Simmediately leave this place and avoid the attacks of the birds. "

" But remember no one to injure the crow. "and the drako and his troops immediately left the place and entered the forest deeper and deeper again while avoiding the attacks of the crows.

They continued running and dodged the attacks of the black crows, until they entered the valley of the black hole ravine.

" It looks like we're safe" said a soldier who was protecting the drako.

" What are you waiting for ?! "

" Continue immediately to our destination...! " strictly orders drako to speak to the soldier.

" But mister. "cut said the demon beast warrior interjected.

hosh...

Drako, who was still stunned, immediately looked at the soldier with a fiery cynical look, "what did you say? try repeating again?! " with a growl the drako frowned staring at the soldier.

" You tried to go against my orders...! " strictly drako at the time.

" No sir, the problem is.we have lost track." replied the soldier who also faltered.

" From before the black crows attacked us, we no longer heard the voice of the crown prince crying. "

" And now we have run away from our last location... "

" I don't know where we are now...? "

" How is it now that we find them, even to get out of this forest alone seems impossible"." said the demon beast warrior explained his explanation with increasingly heavy breathing.

Hosh...

Then Drako thought aloud, "they were right, the sound of crying was no longer heard before the birds chased him. "cautiously the drako looked around him, to know where they were now.

Then Drako also saw the entire army of demon beasts carried by him all looked exhausted, and was stunned with a breath so heavy as to feel suffocated.

Hosh...

But from that reason drako knew one thing for sure, if this time they were already deep in the forest of caridbian fog, because at that time they were increasingly difficult to breathe.

hosh...
