I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 90: The Devil (Kiely)

After feeling like I was going to lose them I was very happy that Luna and Lia had survived the demon army and still looked fine, but even so I was still very afraid of losing them, I was confused as to how else if the two of them were to be harmed by my selfishness forcing me to continue on this mission, my mind continued to be filled with guilt as I held their hands, walking hand in hand through the cave to find out the condition and where this cave leads us.

...

"Hey, did you guys see that?" ask Lia to us.

"Why is Lia?" luna asked back.

"Look, something's approaching!" lia replied while staring and pointed her hand forward.

Kretek Kretek Kretek

"Um, what's that sound?" I also looked in the same direction.

"Beware!!" zoe said seriously.

Finished with all the problems, we then walked back to follow the direction of the cave and stopped again because Lia suddenly stopped her steps while staring as if there was something strange in front of us, and it was true that a while after that I heard a strange sound that sounded like the sound of a knock was approaching us, at the same time Zoe looked very alert with her ready-to-fight position followed by Luna who gave a small nod while holding her sword as Zoe looked at her.

Craahhhhhh!!

"Branch!" luna drew her sword.

'Right as well they like to hide inside the cracks' I thought as I gazed towards the crack of the ground on the ceiling of the cave.

From the darkness of the cave came a few red eyes accompanied by the sound of a monster growling that seemed to screech in our ears, and slowly came the head of the monster with two horizontally curved fangs that bulged out knocking sounds every time they rubbed against each other, it was a centipede monster with a head width of almost one meter each and a length of 4-5 meters, respectively, too large for the size of the vertebrate animals even they also sprung up from the top of the cracked ceiling.

"Well, we don't have time to serve them." said Zoe as she cast lightning magic from her hand.

"... download!!" he said while suddenly looking down.

I don't know what happens when Zoe casts her magic in the form of a yellow ball with flashes identical to lightning, he said, he suddenly stopped his magic and with a tense expression he embraced us all and subdued our bodies while using earth magic like a dome, covering us like ants in an upturned bowl.

"There's ap/" I said cut off.

"Ssttt, don't be so loud!" whispered.

"Why is Zoe? is that monster too strong?" ask Lia.

"I don't have a problem with that monster, but there's a demon on top of us you feel like Luna too?" he answered, asking Luna.

"Devil?" I said while trying to feel the aura of the demonic presence.

"Two people, they're strong!" suhut Luna while sweating coldly.

By putting his finger on my lips Zoe stopped my speech and asked me not to make a loud noise, and once again I felt a tremendous pressure when they (Zoe and Luna) talked about the demons above us, precisely it might be on top of this huge cliff because of the crack of the ground that is in this cave, while whispering we could not use magic or make movements that could provoke suspicion from that demon, he said, from the aura I felt it could be deduced that it was not a weak demon like the army of undead demons before, but something much stronger than ordinary troops.

"How is this?! what should we do?!" lia started to get scared.

"Relax Lia we'll wait for her until they leave" Luna told him.

Not only did Lia so seem frightened by the two demons, but I am also like that even though the two demons are far above us do not rule out the possibility that the sound we make will echo to the top, in addition we did not come out arbitrarily from the stone wall that Zoe made because one of its functions was to hide the aura of our existence.

DUARR!!!!

"Don't!!"

"Don't be noisy Lia" whispered Luna as she covered Lia's mouth.

Still inside the earth magic Zoe suddenly heard the sound of a huge explosion near us accompanied by a very strong shock that almost made Lia shout out loud, saying, but Luna quickly closed her mouth to keep the screaming voice from coming out, while Zoe still very tensely prepared for the bad possibility that would happen.

...........

"What useless actions are you doing?"

"Shut up suck, don't you feel like there's something in this place!!?"

Aura..the devil! wh-we got caught? no no way!

"What 'something' do you mean is a bunch of disgusting monsters over there? your abilities are really declining."

"I'll kill you if you say that again."

"Please let it go if you can do it!"

"Curtain!! goddamnit!"

DUARR!!!

...........

It seems they're gone.

After the sound of the explosion was also heard a very clear voice from two demons who spoke to each other as if they had known our existence despite not seeing the two people directly, he said, but I can feel the aura of immense power from the two of them, the four of us are really very tense being inside this ground with a rough breath coming out from our mouths, a few moments after the tension came the sound of explosions mixed with the rumbling sound of rocks collapsing very loudly, again, and slowly the auras of the two demons disappeared and moved away from where we were.

...✧❁❁✧✿( Luna )✿✧❁❁...

"They're gone!" said Zoe peeking out from the rock crevice.

"W-how?" ask Lia.

Still filled with fear Lia asked Zoe to be sure about the safety of the situation around us.

"Just calm down it's safe" he replied, opening the shield that covered us.

...

"What's this!!" I was amazed by what I saw.

After feeling safe enough Zoe then opened her protector and how surprised we were when we saw the edge of the cliff as wide as 15 meters shattered and collapsed into rock debris as well as the previous group of centipede monsters that died hit rocks, large rock debris strewn before us over 100 square meters and it happened with just one explosion.

Th-this is dangerous! his power is too great!

"Impossible! this is impossible, we will not be able to survive! we'll die if we meet them! no no no no I don't want/"

"Lia!! calm sister Lia knows we're all scared, but we have to keep thinking clearly we can definitely return safely" I told Lia while hugging her.

Dukes

"Kie…"

We were all really very astonished to see this state of affairs was no exception with Lia falling down hopelessly, the current state was truly extremely dangerous given the enormous demonic power, he said, I even had trouble stopping my trembling legs while trying to calm Lia down, meanwhile, Kie also just fell silent staring at all the ruins of the cliffs scattered then fell with both knees and with a hand that emphasized his hopeless face.

"Curtain! let's get out of here this place is not safe, we also have to tell the chairman about this" Zoe exclaimed back into the cave.

"No need, I've seen it" said the chief soldier coming out from behind the cave.

"What are we going to do next, chief?" ask Zoe.

In this tense situation just before Zoe stepped foot to get back into the cave, the chairman came with only his sword without wearing an iron armor or shield to come up to us, and at the same time Zoe asked her about the next steps we would take to address the issue, it was very clear the tension they had on their faces when discussing about the situation.

"Only one, there should be people reporting on this issue before things get worse" the chairman said.

"But, how do we go without being discovered?" ask her.

"We'll die if we meet them!" sahut Kie from beside him.

"I won't let that happen" Zoe said firmly.

"But/

"I will definitely protect you" Zoe said cutting Kie's words while embracing him.

Seemed very frightened Kie spoke with teardrops that began to fall and quickly Zoe approached him and embraced him to make him calmer, yes… he still had time to be romantic in a situation like this is very good at taking advantage of the situation. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

Meanwhile Lia who was also curled up in my arms with her trembling body and heart pounding

"I've put up a protective barrier to hide the soldiers and adventurers who can't fight in the cave until help arrives" the army chief said.

"What does that mean?" ask Zoe.

"I can't let my army die this is indeed heavy and risky, but only we who can move freely you should report about the demonic movement to the royal army" he replied as he looked up at the sky.

"Do you intend to sacrifice yourself?" ask her.

Putting the sword on his shoulder the soldier-in-chief spoke with a sigh staring into the clear sky before us, from what I heard the chairman was intent on sacrificing himself to distract the powerful demons that were here.

"Sacrificing? HAHAHAHA..that's great too, take this!" he replied laughing loudly while throwing a chain necklace with a royal emblem at me.

"It's…"

"But are you sure?" ask Zoe.

"Of course I am confident in my decision, living as a dead knight will still be a knight…"

"... protect them Zoe, enjoy your life while my job is done here" he turned to us.

With his loud laughter echoing on the rocks the chief threw his warrior badge with the royal emblem engraved there, the chairman then went towards the direction of the forest past the large rocks in front of him with a big smile as he turned our heads and for the last time we all saluted him by lowering our heads, he's a brave warrior leader.

...

"Let's go!" exclaim Zoe to us.

"Good"³ say we're together.

After the chief left we then immediately ran in the opposite direction as he entered the forest looking for a gap to escape from the demons while the chief was stalling and distracting the demons.

...*****...

"HAHAHAHAHA... I AM THE CHIEF OF THE SURVEILLANCE FORCE OF ADELARD ACHILES EXELL ON MY BEHALF I WILL KILL YOU DESTROYERS.. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

DUARR!!!

"Chairman!"

"Curtain! keep moving and don't stop we have to quickly go outside the forest!" I said Zoe

From a distance there was a very clear laughter from the chairman who was fighting the demons alone, I who heard that suddenly stopped my steps because I was surprised by his voice as well as the sound of a big explosion from their fight, it is with a heavy heart that the four of us must leave him alone in the front row to report this incident to the royal side and the adventurer guild.

...✧❁❁✧✿(Zoe )✿✧❁❁...

It's a dangerous situation! but whatever way I have to protect them!

The sound of explosions continuously being repeated rang out from the direction of the chief's fight with the unsettling demon, no demon army was so powerful except the previous two while the rest relied on mere number strength and it was extremely unpleasant, although I was worried about the state of the chief, he said, but I believe that the chairman can defeat all of them, even though I am not sure with those two mysterious demons their strength is clearly on a different level.

Shit shit! someone managed to follow us!, I thought glancing backwards.

"Remember one thing from me - never look back" I warned Kie, Luna, and Lia.

"For the reason/"

"All right!!" sahut Luna cut Kie's speech.

...

"When this is far enough, but sorry Kie I will catch up with you after taking care of them." I said as I stopped and turned around.

While running through the forest to get to safety I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps of people running accompanied by bushes wiggling from behind, and sure enough there I saw there were some undead heads from behind the bushes and trees just right away I asked Kie, Luna, and Lia to keep running without looking back while I stopped running and turned around to head them off.

"… ah yeah right too. I forgot to return the earrings, huhh.. I'll finish quickly" I sighed as I stared at the feather earrings in my hand.

DUARR!!!

Ahh finally came!

"I admit your courage against us weak men."

"Where's the chairman?"

"What do you mean the owner of this big hand?" said one of the demons while throwing a piece of the right hand.

The chairman!! damn I thought!

"... Now it's your turn to be minced meat like your hard-ass master, after that we'll kill the three women" he continued with a murderous look and smile.

Very unexpected that appeared before me now were the two demonic figures that I should have avoided, one of which had a cold gaze in grey with fur coiled around the waist, hands, hands, and his legs while the frontmost demon who had just cast the right hand of the chief had a smaller stature with a black and white maid outfit, but having a sharp gaze with a smile and killing intent, I actually blocked death with a cold sweaty body I had to fight them to give time for Luna, Lia, and Kie to leave.

"Hahh, I'm sorry, but I won't let that happen" I said, crossing my arms behind my head.

Bukk!!

Bruck!!

"Curtain! goddamnit!"

Here there are a lot of undead I'd better clear them first.

...

"Haha! did you give up weak!"

">Shot lightning< storm"

DUARR!!!

Quickly one kick hit me hard which made me bounce far enough to hit several trees until it fell was very painful, but I was lucky to have avoided and resisted the attack even though I could feel my ribs breaking due to the hard impact of the trees, since there were many undead wandering around me I then used lightning magic to shower this place with thunderous thunderstorms scorching the area around me.

Shhtt Shhh!

"Great!"

It was so close!, I thought as I stared

"Basic weak! I will take care of when the human girl" said the devil dressed as a waiter as he walked away.

"Wait!"

Shhhh!!

"I'll kill you man!" said the demon who carried the discs in both hands.

I hope they're okay.

Sitting leaning against a tree after casting a sizable magic my head nearly split as two discs shot rapidly towards me lucky I was able to see and immediately dodge the attack, the statement said, but one of those demons suddenly left the fight and planned to kill them I certainly wouldn't let that happen, unfortunately, my steps were blocked by the demon who owned the disc that threw the weapon back.

"AARRGGGHHHH!! HOLY SWORDS!!"

DUARR!!!

"Why are you still alive?!!" the devil was surprised.

"HUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! are you surprised? you think you can kill me that easily?!! never will!!" the leader with a body full of blood.

"Suck!!" the demon's growl.

...

"Get up Zoe let's kill this demon!"

"But, how are you?!"

"No need to worry, it's just a hand" the chairman replied as he raised his sword.

Y-yahh just hands. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

Still in a state of kneeling could not get up after having obtained that crushing attack, the chief came with his voice and a blood-filled body and mouth while making an attack on the demon disk that suddenly made him a little desperate, the chairman then approached me thrust his sword on the ground and extended his hand helping me to stand up not waiting for long I reached out to the bloody hand standing ready to face the demon disk.

"Alright if you want to die please go forward weak humans!" the devil was ready to throw his weapon.

I'm sorry, Kie, maybe we won't see each other again.

"Well, time to get serious, ' oh great spirit, lord of holy lightning in my name, fill my call come' Amoon!! "

Hhhhhhh!!

"Spirit user, a wasteful thing."

"There is no wasted effort in this world" I told him.

After standing up I then used the spirit summoning magic that had already made a contract with me, instantly a lion spirit with streams of lightning striking from its skin emerged from behind me with its loud roar preparing to attack according to my orders.

"Let's start Zoe!" exclaim the chief to me.

"Good!"
