One Long Night With Mysterious Boys
22. Protector

Humans are very easily manipulated. They can be happy then sad just because of a word from someone else. Weak and fragile. No matter it's truth or lies, humans are easy to control.

At 7 p.m.

"Why should I use Alicia? We can wait for the BEM chief to come out on his own and drag him away." asked Elena. Two mermaids and one demon clan man were lurking in an alley that not many people pass by, they were waiting for Alicia to come bring the 3-tailed fox there.

"The BEM chief was never alone. He was surrounded by women and friends." replied Areka.

"Even outside?"

Areka nodded. The BEM chairman lived in a male dormitory on the 1st floor, he joined a common room occupied by 4 to 5 people. Therefore he never went home alone, always with his friends.

"I've been suspicious for a long time, that BEM boss never wanted to get close to me."

"Eh, it doesn't look like it? I can see other demons from far away."

Areka glanced at Elena, of course, where the girl's magic was much bigger than her. Areka alone had to 'eat' people's memories in order to maintain her human form here.

"By the way Ken hasn't said anything since Alicia left." Elena whispered. Areka reflexes turned to Ken who was standing against the wall with his hands folded in front of his chest, not letting go of the road where Alicia was coming.

Actually Ken heard all their whispers, but deliberately ignored them, not important.

"I'm a little scared. Ken didn't comment on Alicia's change of attitude." continued the blue-eyed girl.

"What did you actually do to Alicia ha?!" Areka slightly raised her voice, hitting the soft head of her fad-loving girl.

Elena smiled mysteriously, still unwilling to tell Areka about anything she had shown. After all, for Elena it wasn't something Ken had to hide. Sooner or later Alicia will know what kind of figure she really is.

"Alicia is coming." exclaimed Ken arrived.

Elena immediately ran forward, holding the 3-tailed fox man's hand. While Ken and Areka hide behind the darkness of the alley, they wear black clothes and pants so that it blends with the color of the night.

"Ehh... You who? Why are you holding me like this..." The 3-tailed fox asked, despite not trying to take Elena's hand off her, her face flushed red wrongly at the beauty of the blue-eyed girl. It is basically a perverted man who likes to be surrounded by women.

"Alicia I swear I don't know him! But sometimes it's like this, ah having a handsome face is a little troublesome." The fox turned to Alicia, smiling clumsily. He was worried Alicia would lash out at him.

But Alicia's expression did not match her expectations, the girl instead smiled sweetly. Shouldn't he be upset?

"Alicia, aren't you jealous?" the fox looked disappointed, then by not knowing himself he hugged Elena.

Alicia shifted her eyes towards the darkness of the alley, the fox man managed to arouse the anger of Areka who had been trying to calm down.

"KID YOUR DIRTY HANDS AWAY THAT'S B*NGS*D!" Areka ran over to the man who was attached to Elena, directly kicking his face until the fox man was sprawled into the wall of the alley behind.

Elena laughed crisply. He was deliberately provoking the anger of Areka, the girl wanted to know whether Areka's feelings were still the same or had changed after 10 years of 'dead'.

"You're the best, Areka!" Elena smiled faintly, throwing two thumbs.

Areka rolled her eyes, realizing that Elena was playing him again. Nosed the girl.

"You okay, Alicia?" Ken's approaching.

Alicia just smiled faintly, nodding.

Treat cold Alicia to Ken make Areka ketar ketir. Somehow the killing aura of Ken instantly looked so out. Areka seemed to be able to see a black shadow that was ready to pounce on her if Alicia remained that way.

...****************...

"Eh he's pretty handsome. More handsome than the chief of BEM." Elena muttered after the 3-tailed fox showed its true figure. Tied by a black rope from Ken's strength. Walking in front, indicating the direction where the headquarters were. It took 30 minutes threatened and tortured to make him want to be a guide, fortunately Areka jago did it.

"Something's wrong with your eyes." Sinis Areka's. While kicking the ass of the three-tailed fox to walk faster.

"No, really handsome, right Alicia?" elena asked for a defense. Alicia gave a small nod, Ken glanced at her, then followed by staring at the sinister fox demon in front of her.

Since then Alicia did not talk much, did not ask much, and was very quiet.

Actually just by looking at Alicia's changing attitude, Ken could already guess what Elena showed the girl. When Elena managed to touch Ken's hand, the mermaid girl saw some happenings in the past. When Ken was still completely controlled by his demonic powers.

And that's what Elena showed Alicia.

The figure of Ken that Alicia sees now is so different from the figure of thousands of years ago.

Alicia sighed, she was dizzy from thinking too much.

At 10 p.m.

"Hey, didn't you tell Alicia to come home? Actually he's not needed now." Areka asked. Somehow Ken looks unconcerned when it could have been waiting for them in front is something that could endanger the girl.

"He'll come, let it go."

Right, the answer is that way too. What now replace the angry Ken? Was he silent thinking how to kill Elena? Areka swallowed her saliva hard, anyway she did not want to fight again with Ken no matter what!

"Ugh..." Ken closed his nose.

"What's wrong?" ask Elena.

Ken shook his head, only he smelled a foul smell from all sides. Maybe because of where the magic is full he can feel it, the last time he came here there was no smell this bad.

In front of the cave was a black bear sleeping on a boulder, it was a guard bear that had been tamed by the fox demon.

Alicia immediately approached Elena, holding her hand. The girl was scared, only the first time she saw a black bear this big. Again Ken just glanced over without commenting anything.

"Cup cup, it's okay..." Elena patted Alicia on the head.

Ken sighed, looking displeased with the interaction of the two of them. Areka silently holding her laugh, she thought Elena was now pranking Ken. Making Ken's girl his.

"Are humans also held there?" areka asked while kicking the 3-tailed fox's leg, making him fall to his knees on the ground.

The fox nodded. Areka untied her. Expelling him, since the fox had already kindly pointed the way, there was no reason to involve him in the fight.

"We'll ask good. If they don't want to force it."

Ken agreed. He and Areka walked in front. Entering the cave even deeper, suddenly a fog appeared around them. Although Alicia had been away from him since then, Ken deliberately walked slowly to stay close to the girl. Ken's got a bad feeling.

Sure enough, they were not welcomed by the fox herd. As soon as they were seen, they were immediately showered by gunfire.

*DOR DOR

His voice was deafening.

Ken reflex hugged Alicia who was screaming in fear. In front of him, Elena and Areka swiftly made a water shield, the bullet went into a giant water ball. Can't break it.

"Don't be far from Elena, Alicia. I'll finish it soon." Ken let go of his embrace, he was about to charge forward, but Alicia held back her hand.

"Don't! they're carrying weapons!" the girl's screams were trying to beat the gunshot.

Ken smiled, he was glad Alicia looked worried. Then stroked her hair. He put his face next to Alicia's. Saying something that made Alicia let go of her grip.

Ken smiled again knots, then at a speed that could not be followed eyes he jumped straight into the thick fog, his nails extended sharply like a newly honed dagger. Destroying the hearts of the 5 shooting foxes that were ready behind the boulder, it was unexpected that there would be an impromptu attack. They died instantly.

"Disease." muttered Ken, he did not like the smell of fox demon blood.

Beneath it lay a village with a house made of stone, it was the house of the people, Ken ignored it. He focused on the tall stone palace towering a few kilos ahead. The fog is getting thicker. The village rock village below disappeared covered, Ken went down, followed by Areka. It turns out that not only covered, the village really disappeared, moved places. That's incredible magic power.

"Let's go there." Ken pointed to the stone palace in front which was guarded by two giant wolves, it was a real wolf, not a demon.

"Ken!" Alicia called. Giving a pink handkerchief. Ken nodded, clearing his hands of the fox demon blood.

"Thank you."

Alicia's eyes widened, this was the first time she had seen Ken kill someone.

"You scared?" ask Elena. Alicia nodded, once again looking at Ken's cold face, as if what she had done earlier was common. It did not affect him at all, casually wiping away the blood on his hands.

Then without saying anything Ken directly carried Alicia in front, their distance with the fox palace was quite far. It will be long if it goes normally.

In just a few jumps they reached in front of the giant wolf earlier. So do Areka and Elena who don't need help to keep up with Ken's speed.

There was no need to kill the two guard wolves, they did not fight back. Instead act like a dog in front of Ken, roll over the roll, think of him like a master.

"Surprisingly, you are quite liked by animals huh demon lord." Areka chirped. Alicia and Elena chuckled, it was funny to see Ken's steps being intercepted by the two beasts. Ken was also forced to stroke the elbow for a while so they would let him in.

After a while serving the wolf, Ken was finally able to open the castle door. He was immediately greeted with an arrow, piercing directly into his heart.

*Crass

Blood flowing. Ken pulled out the arrow with a cold expression. His wounds instantly regenerated, his heart was back in one piece and his flesh was perfectly covered as it was.

Alicia, Areka, and Elena did not have time to react when they were again showered by weapons. Even though it had already made a huge water ball shield, it was useless. The arrow that the fox fox fox used had magic that could pop a water ball of the mermaid clan.

Without further ado Ken advanced alone to attack, this time what he was facing was no ordinary fox. They can see it and are able to move around very agilely. Close combat was inevitable.

"TAKE ALICIA AWAY!" Shouted Ken to Elena. The girl nodded, directly grabbing Alicia's hand, inviting her to run out. As for Areka, for the sake of saving the humans who are at the bottom of this palace, even though the opponent is very numerous and unbalanced he still advances to help.

Doesn't matter.

The demon clan was on his side.

So thought Areka just before the 9-tailed fox joined the fight.
