CHAPTER 25: A Demon

Zero's Point Of View

After sneaking inside the village ee decided to part our ways to search for the captured Elves. There is too many monsters that have crossed in my path as the destination was getting close the number of lurking monsters arises. Then I racieved a call from the others. "I secured the children's safety from Orcs". Eugene says in another side. "I also secured the ladies". Kitsune said to the other side. "We did kill lots of monsters here, but it's thanks to Merleona's prowess currently she's unconscious". Valerie then reported. "So I was the only one who didn't secured the others". I exclaimed to myself as I face the other monster. Punching them in their stomach, face or slamming those that has sneaked behind me by surprise. Then finally I was near the hostages. They were the men of the tribe. I roam my sight there were several monsters that was guarding the cages with several demonkins. As I was roaming my sight I saw an Elf that has a crown being tied in a post as he was unconscious while an Elven Girl was being captured in the cage. Accompanied by two youngster elf in a cage and an aged one. One of the two youngster has a feirce look in his eyes looking at the situation. As the other one was in the back of them with his sudden hint of grin. Then a horned man walked into them with his malicious smile. "Why? Why were you doing this to us?". The Elven girl asked in a angered ton in her voice. "Let's just say that I was bored so I did this". The Demon said with his teasing voice and that moment I secretly take a move. "We don't even know why were you going to do to our daughter? We didn't even do bad things to your kin for us to deserve this". She exclaimed with her frustration. "About your daugther, either we'll make her a pleasure toy or sell her as slave since your kind was sold in high prices". He replied in a manacing manner. "You son of a bitch dont you dare!!!". The Queen angrily says upon hearing his statement. "Oh wait, would you want for you to be a slave as well". He said as he grab the Queen's chin. "Wait it would be better so sell you all of course that will be a profitable business after all". He said and walk away for a bit. "What would all of you think, shall we sell them?". He asked his lackeys. "That's a good Idea Master Luthe but it's such a waste". One of them stated. "Yes that's right master, those looks that's a waste if we don't enjoy ourselves with them before selling them into slave traders". One of them agreed to the idea and supported with a factual sentiment for a man with lustful intention towards opposite sex. Then the Demon was smiling nonchalantly. "Oh great, I didn't thought of that so for a reward do as you please". He ordered to them making them smirk in their gladness. "Oh yeah, then shall we taste their Queen first". One stated. "Of course that's a yes, it would be an honor soiling a Queen of course". Another one stated that made them laugh and so they reach the cage and dragged the Queen. "Don't , don't you ou dare touch our Queen you bastards!!!!". The Feirce looking Elf said in anger but because of the chains he cant move so easily. "That's futile young elf". One of them says and aimed to fondle the Queen. "No!!!". The Elf shouted but a slashing sound echoed followed by a deafening silence. "Ahhhh!!!, My arm, My arm". One of the demonkin scream upon realizing that his arm was cut off. "Oops that's a close call for me". I said and looked at the Elven Queen. "Who are you?". She asked me upon realizing. "I'm Zero, Valerie asked us for help". I casually said. "What are you?". The demonkin said. "A human of course, so shall we start". I said as I splash the blood from my sword and give it to the Queen. "Can you hold this for me?". I asked. "Y-Yes". She replied and take it and run towards the caged elves. " Barrier". I said making an invisible barrier around them. Then the fight started with the demonkin taking their magic swords and items and started to attack me. "Sword Skill: Savage Slash". One of then says attacking me head on but I dodge it. As I touch his back making him look at me. "Incinerate". I said blasting his chest out. "Demon Magic: Poison Lance". One of them chanted. "Electric Palm". I said as I nullified the poison before reaching me. As I rushed into him. "Wind Claws". I said making a 2 pair of claw like wind strike. Slashing him into pieces. "Hahahaha, you're mine!!!". Another one was aim at my seemingly unguarded left side with his huge sword but he was surprised as I broke it with my barehand. "What the-". He didn't finish saying what he wanted to because I smacked his face to the ground. Then one final lackey was there. "Attack him". He ordered but he realized when saw the dead bodies of monsters lying around. "You don't have any monster left 'causeI already made them in peace earlier". I said with cold voice. "Heh! I won't be that sure if I were you". He said revealing a dark crystal ball. "Rise my summons". He chanted then 3 monsters appeared a Two headed Cerberus, A Minotaur and an Orc. Attacking simultaneously I managed to dogde by jumping, a backflip or by swirling into the air. As they growls in haste. I casted magic circle. "Gaia's Grasp". I chanted then there appeared a palm that grabbed the 3 that made the summoner let go of the ball in the palm as it crush the 3. But it remained intack as it bounce back into the Summoner. "Hahahaha this isn't a ball that can be penetrated by magic oriented attack, Hahahaha". He said laughing so. "Thank you for saying such". I replied and shoot the ball with Ki Energy enhanced rock straight through his head. "How did-". He wanted to say something upon seeing a blood in his hand from his forehead and dropped dead.
