The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 48's

"You two reacted very well." Zyden smiled sweetly.

Erika and Liya realized what they were doing, they just remembered that the demon in front of them was someone they knew.

Zyden pulled the black smoke back into his body and the fireflies returned to their normal state.

"Bec... Rat, Queen! What, what was that?" Liya exclaimed in shock to respond to that earlier.

"Why did you do that?" Erika asked furrowing her brows.

"God! I thought you understood because you were told by your father about me!" Zyden said casually. "Yet it turns out, you don't understand anything...!" Continue with a mocking tone.

"I proved that the spirits will never accept me. Is that clear to you?"

"That doesn't mean you can do it anyway." Shouted Erika to Zyden.

"What's your problem? Why are you yelling!" Zyden.

"You are my problem! Next time, you can't do anything like that anymore. Understood?" Erika gave the order.

"Well! Who are you to forbid what I want to do!" Zyden said no.

"I'm not banning you, I just want you not to use that bad, damned thing again." Said Erika. "Do you know how we saw you?" Further explained.

"You don't look like a human! You look like a terrible monster that everyone who sees."

"What is it that you want, shunned by people and ruined our plans. Which persuaded many people to defeat the demon lord!"

"If you keep going like this, it's not the demon lord they're going to fight. But it is you they will defeat first. UNDERSTAND!" Erika shouted her last words.

"..., I think you misunderstood my plan." Zyden casually responded.

"What?" Erika Exclamations.

"When I first came to this world, I did have a plan to get a lot of colleagues and friends that I could appreciate." Zyden said to Erika.

"But... Someone made me aware of one important thing that I had forgotten and was most attached to my old life."

'everything that is useful to me, just a tool to achieve my victory, and you are a useful tool to me, Erika!'

"If they have the intention of killing the demon lord but refuse to cooperate with us, then it is your business to persuade them."

"If they don't have that goal, they can step aside. But..." Zyden made a metal mask and put it on.

"..., if they don't want to get out of the way and even get in my way! I'll destroy them." It continued to be cold and radiate fiery red eyes behind his mask.

Erika silently listened to Zyden's words, while Liya. He could only silently look at the demon humans in front of him.

Shortly after the silence inside the flying horse-drawn carriage, noise was heard outside the carriage.

Both the commotion from outside the side of the train and from under the train. Erika and Liya looked out the window looking for where the noise was coming from.

Then they saw many hot air balloons that could be seen from the flying track of their horse-drawn carriage.

The air balloon is a large boat, made of aluminum and silver, and there is a large sail in the center.

It was a flying ship that used a crystal mana at the bottom of the ship as its thrusters.

The noise was heard from those on board the plane, they were in a fuss because they saw a chariot drawn by winged horses and flying past those far above the ground.

The noise below was the same, a large city in an uproar because of the horse carriage that flew casually over their heads.

Awe and curiosity also rose from the mouths of those who saw a luxurious chariot drawn by four winged horses just above the city.

"Woah..., I didn't know that humans have such things?" Erika said forgetting about the incident.

"You're right my Queen, I also just found out humans can develop so quickly. And just look at the city, it's filled with a lot of buildings and it looks very crowded." Said Liya looking at the city from the window.

"Yes downstairs is very crowded, we better find a quiet place to go down. I don't want to see a lot of people when my body is like this." Erika exclaimed at her 16-year-old body.

Erika ordered the spirit horse to land in a forest not far from the city. If said forest, it doesn't look like a forest. Because the trees are not too thick.

The horse carriage landed slowly and the three of them got off the carriage.
