I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 88: Demon army (Kie)

"What's going on here?!!" I was astonished to see many corpses strewn about in the flames and puffs of smoke.

Sring Hings!

"Zoe!"

"It doesn't matter, but it's really serious" he said, holding his dagger tightly.

The sound of thunder coupled with the flash of light that struck completely shocked me and Zoe while on the way back to the place of the troop of soldiers, but unfortunately when we got to this place the only thing I saw were the scattered corpses and the clattering sounds of swords pounding on each other and the magic colliding in the flames fire and thick smoke.

And all of a sudden there were a few arrows darting towards us, but luckily Zoe quickly fended off all those arrows using her dagger.

"BACK OFF!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!" shouted the warrior chief while waving his light sword attack.

"BACK OFF!!!" said some soldiers.

Shhtt!!!

"What's going on, chief?" ask Zoe while slashing at someone.

"There's no time to explain it, we all have to get out of here!!" replied the chairman while gesturing to leave this place immediately.

In the tumult of the battle the wounded chief ordered everyone to retreat from this brutal fight, and suddenly there was an armed soldier who wanted to attack him from behind, but Zoe managed to get hit by it, in our confusion who did not know about the circumstances that happened Zoe threw a question to him and very seriously he ordered us to leave this place immediately.

"Then what about Luna and Lia? where are they?" I asked in panic.

"I don't know." she replied.

Luna where are you guys?

With great anxiety and panic I asked the chief of soldiers about the state of Luna and Lia considering they were still in this place before, and unfortunately the chairman didn't know about their circumstances which made me very anxious and afraid that something might happen to them.

"... The witches make a thick smoke here!! we have to take shelter from this place" he continued.

"But/

"The enemy is too much, we have no chance of winning" he said.

"Come on Kie!" said Zoe, pull my hand.

Lunas... Lia...

My feelings were really mixed not trying to find Luna and Lia from within the thick smoke, but unfortunately I did not see their existence among the many warriors and adventurers who were fighting, at all, the chief then ordered the witches to make a thicker smoke as an escape path and quickly this place was filled with thick smoke that disturbed the vision.

Seeing the many enemies and also the people who had retreated Zoe then pulled my hand to immediately go following the warrior chief, and I had to leave this place without knowing how Luna and Lia were doing.

Many of the soldiers and adventurers who were severely wounded by the attack retreated and followed the warrior chief as he was overwhelmed by the multitude of enemies that were pounding us, the number of soldiers was only eleven people left with four adventurers in it including Jun who was injured.

DUARR!!

"Keep running and don't stop!" zoe told me.

"No..."

"Well! don't be stupid Kie you could've been killed!"

"I am the one who brought Luna and Lia into this dangerous situation, I have to find and ensure their safety" I said, turning around.

"Wait for Kie.. hah hah hah! I'm the one they're fine with" I said Jun holding onto my shoulder as he held the wound on his stomach.

"How can you be with that, they are with you right?!! hiks.. This is all my fault" I told him as I began to shed tears.

The explosive sound of a magic attack was clearly heard from behind us, but I then stopped and released my hand from Zoe's grasp to return to the previous place looking for Luna as well as Lia, the moment I wanted to turn around Jun who was badly injured in the abdomen suddenly held onto my shoulder while saying that Luna and Lia were fine, but still I did not believe in it.

"RELAX KIE!!! the two of them went to look for you. I'm sure the two of them were also dodging and hiding after hearing the big explosion earlier!!" jun said gasping for breath to endure the pain with a slight snarl at me.

"June!! your wound..."

"We're surrounded!" zoe said tensely from beside me.

"HERE!!" exclaim the chief soldier to all of us.

...

"I'm fine." he said slowly.

How'this? I can't treat him here

"Zoe please carry Jun!" my door to him.

"Alright" he said.

By continuing to sweep my tears I blamed myself for insisting on going into the forest and instead bringing the two of them into this kind of situation, and suddenly Jun violently snapped at me so that I could calm down and think clearly, after which Jun fell down because of his wounds that were getting worse and bleeding a lot, he said, I who can't treat him at this place then ask Zoe to carry him and take him away following the chairman.

***

"We're stuck!!" said one of the soldiers staring at a large cliff.

"Damn! they're getting closer!" said the chairman staring at the approaching plume of smoke.

"W-how's i-this?!" i'm shaking.

We all entered into the thicker woods and bushes to avoid the encirclement of the demon lord warriors who were chasing us, he said, by being constantly cornered by the smoke and the magic explosion we accelerated the escape through the thick trees, all the soldiers and adventurers who were with us were severely and lightly injured due to the attack, he said, it was only me and Zoe who were not injured at all because we came when the chairman had already ordered to step down.

And unfortunately because we continue to be cornered by the demons we do not know that it turns out that what is in front of us is a very large cliff, which is very large, with the loud sound of the magic explosion that kept approaching the panic between us grew - so there was no exception with me who was trembling also the chairman and Zoe with her serious face staring back, so it was no exception with me, whereas Jun himself only fell silent weakly on Zoe's back while enduring his pain.

Bruckk

"What's this?!" I said surprised to see the cliffs I was facing perforated.

"Why is there a hole here? good, everybody get inside!" exclaim the warrior chief to while entering into this mysterious cave.

...

"Immediately shut the mouth of this cave with earth magic!"

"Good!" a few witches.

I was really very anxious and panicked about our situation because it was very clear that we were being surrounded and just had to wait a while longer for all of us to be killed by the demon army, in that panic I slowly leaned against the ground of the cliff while holding my head trying to think of finding a way out and suddenly the cliffs that I had perforated formed a cave with a width and height around two meters.

And without a doubt the warrior chief then ordered the remaining soldiers and adventurers to enter the cave, which he had no qualms with, because there was no other way we all then entered it then quickly after we entered the chairman ordered the witches to cover the mouth of the cave with a very thick earth magic.

"Torch fire's..."

DUARR!!

"We better go deeper" said Zoe as she looked at the chairman.

"Alright, you add more thickness to the mouth of the cave" said the chairman while ordering the witch to cover the mouth of the cave with a thicker.

Being in the darkness of this mysterious cave the witch adventurers then cast their magic spells and with a flash of fire lit from the end of their staff without burning it, and at the same time there was the sound of a big enough explosion hit this cliff so that the vibration can be felt very clearly, we can feel, in such a situation Zoe then proposed that we all go deeper to avoid if the mouth of the cave was open.

...

Tap Tap Tap

"Who is that?!" I said one of the soldiers staring at the dark side of the cave.

As we were about to set foot into the deeper cave, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching and a soldier raising his sword towards the dark side of the cave, and just make the other soldiers also do the same thing with the head of the soldier who is ready to launch his attack.

Tap Tap Tap

"Kie?" call someone.

"Eh! that voice... Luna?!"

"Kie!!! ahh thank goodness!" lia said running and hugged me straight away.

"Luna! Lia! I thought I would never be able to meet you again..hiks... forgive me I'm sorry.. I should have listened to your words forgive me.." I cried while hugging them.

"It's okay Kie is important we can meet again" Luna told me as she returned my arms.

"Yes Kie you don't have to feel guilty like that, yahh, even though I don't really like this.." continued Lia.

"Lia.." I hugged them tighter.

"A-anu... Kie, can you let go of her hug first? it's a little hard to breathe like this" Lia told me.

"Y-yes sorry"

The sound of footsteps continued to be heard approaching us and after that a familiar voice called my name from behind the darkness, and sure enough slowly appeared the two figures that I was looking for before huh.

Spontaneously Lia who saw me immediately ran and hugged me and vice versa I also directly hugged them very tightly while apologizing for my stupidity that brought them into this situation, I feel very guilty and relieved to be able to meet the two of them again.

...✧❁❁✧✿( Luna )✿✧❁❁...

"So you guys managed to take cover huh?" zoe told me.

"Yahh, even if I have to get a little hurt" I replied looking at my bandaged right hand.

Jun...

DUARR!!!

"Sister.." said Lia looking at me gesturing to leave immediately.

"Well, we'll talk about this later, now let's follow us! uh... Kie!"

"I want to be like this" he said, holding my hand.

"Huhh. ya alright" I said also grasping it.

While treating my wounds I heard a noise from outside the cave which turned out to be a group of soldiers as well as Kie who was leaning right in the mouth of the cave that I had previously covered, which was a small cave, I quickly opened the mouth of the cave to let them in for cover, Kie really looked very frightened and with her guilt she apologized while hugging us both tightly.

Being constantly haunted by the sound of explosions and vibrations that seemed to shake the cave Lia stopped the conversation from looking at me seriously so that we would leave this place immediately, well… just this time I saw him like that he looked very brave, when he wanted to move my legs Kie grasped tightly my hand by continuing to look moody in fear and asked to remain left to hold it, he said, under these circumstances, I feel like I have two sisters.

Hearing my words the soldiers were also adventurers and the chief went to follow me into a deeper cave, and, it also looks Jun who was carried by Zoe because he could not move because the wound on his stomach continues to drip blood on his face now even looks pale.

"How did you two find this place?" ask the soldier chief.

"Just like you, we also had a chance to cross paths with some undead demons and fight with them even though we managed to defeat some, some, but the number of them more and more and in the end we ran somewhere and then cornered between this high cliff." I explained as I continued walking.

"And after combing the cliff we finally found there is one cave and immediately entered it" continued Lia explained.

"What is this place really?" ask a witch behind my left side.

"Either this cave is long enough and has no branches, this place has only one path" I replied.

As we continued walking we talked to each other a little bit about this cave and how we could find it, whereas Kie just walked over while continuing to lower her face with a gloomy and frightened-looking expression, and well... I was a little confused by that, is it possible that Kie's courage moved to Lia and Lia's fear moved to him? I don't know, but maybe he's feeling guilty and doesn't want to lose us, it's clear from his tight grip.
