Massacre

Walking inside the dense forest, Captain Chris and Tomkin were leading the whole group. Because of tall trees blocking the light from the sun, the knights who were proficient in light magics created light to see their surroundings.

After walking for over an hour, Captain Chris spotted something and shouted, "Stop!"

The group stops while Chris walks forward with Tomkin following behind him.

"This is?" Chris picks up something from the ground and holds it in front of him.

When Tomkin saw what it is, his face becomes dark and he started to grit his teeth.

Because what they saw was an arm, and from the looks of it. It was the severed arm, Ron, the other scout who went in and didn't return.

"Fire" Chris cast a simple spell and burn the arm whole. He then looks at Tomkin and said seriously, "His arm was ripped off. It should be the work of the demon"

Tomkin knew the reason why Chris burns the arm and didn't say anything. Every religion especially those who believe in the god of light likes to burns things. Especially if it is touched by a demon.

"Let's go," a cold voice escapes from Tomkin's mouth and he quickly advances forward.

They didn't go that far when they reach an open field. There weren't any trees in the area and the land was clean.

After taking multiple steps forward, they heard a sharp voice coming from above.

"Welcome to my little territory, humans!" floating on the sky with his hoverpod, Frieza smiles at them.

"Demon!" everyone exclaimed loudly.

Chris and the knights seem to be really experienced and immediately formed a formation with Chris in front.

While the mercenaries just gathered together and hold their weapons.

The surroundings were silent, and nothing could be heard except the rustling sounds of the leaves.

The knights hold their shields and swords with serious expressions on their faces.

"Demon, state your name!" Chris's indifferent voice sounded and his golden eyes were staring directly at Frieza above.

When Frieza saw Chris, he was filled with envy seeing his handsome appearance.

As for him, there is no need to talk if he is handsome.

"Boy, didn't your parents teach you that you must introduce yourself first before asking someone's name," Frieza said with a smirk formed on his lips.

Hearing the demon talk to him like this, Chris gritted his teeth and the palm holding his sword tightens. "Chris, as for my parents teaching me. It is impossible... Because you demons killed them!"

"Now!" Chris shouted and holy light covered his body. Putting strength into his feet, he jumps upward like a wild beast.

"Demon, get down here!"

"Wood Net!"

The mercenaries also made their move as the mage in the group performed a spell.

From the ground, several roots sprouted up shooting forward to the demon above. And wrapping around the hoverpod pulling it down.

Chris who already arrived in front of Frieza was releasing thick killing intent from his body.

"Heavenly Wrath!"

Chris didn't hold back and perform one of his best techniques. The sword in his hands vibrated and release a bright radiant. After that, he swings it towards his enemy creating a an illusory blade of light cutting through the air.

"Wonderful!" Frieza praised when he saw the beautiful attack. He could feel that this attack contains light energies. Which can exterminate and burn demons easily.

However, this light energies won't have any effect on him. Because although he is a demon, he wasn't an ordinary demon. F*cking Frieza didn't care about any type of energies. Only brute force!

"Do you really think that you have the time to become careless this time!"

Behind Frieza, Tomkin also appeared,

"Shifting Shadow Palm!"

"Demon! Go to hell!" with the hoverpod unable to move. The two attacks successfully hit Frieza.

Boom!

The sky exploded and dust covered the surroundings.

"Getting directly hit by our attack. Although I can't be sure that we killed him. He must have at least receive some serious damage" Tomkin said to Chris.

Chris remained silent for a moment before responding, "Don't underestimate the body of a demon. Especially the high ranking one like this"

After hearing Chris's words, Tomkin remained silent.

"Just like I thought!" Chris said with an ugly expression on his handsome face.

"This can't be... Not even a scratch?" Tomkin's voice slightly trembles when he saw the demon now standing in front of them.

"Hahahaha! Humans allow me to introduce my self. I am Lord Frieza, the emperor of the universe" a playful smile appeared on Frieza's face and said, "Remember it clearly, because this is the name of the one who will send you to hell"

"Not good! Shields!" Chris felt something bad was about to happen so he immediately instructed his subordinates.

He then raises his shield and runs to cover him and Tomkin.

"Useless things!" Frieza raises his arm and releases a qi blast towards the groups of knights.

Boom!

The shields and armors of the knights were deemed ineffective against Frieza's attack and everyone was blown into piles of flesh.

Chris watches in horror as the subordinates he brought with him were killed in front of his eyes. For the first time after he becomes a knight, he becomes a knight. He felt really powerless.

A blank expression appeared in Chris's eyes as he was lost on what to do.

Different emotions appeared in his heart. And the strongest is,

Fear.

Again, after witnessing the death of his family in the hands of a demon. It happened again, but this time, it is his subordinates.

Tomkin realized that the situation is not something they expected. Where was this demon weakened?

It was clear that this demon has the strength to spare.

They were just clearly looking for their deaths by coming here.

Tomkin glance at Chris who loses his will and said inside his head, 'Little white face! If you can't handle seeing your people get killed. Then being a knight is not for you'

"Retreat! Run away! We have wrong information about the demon!" Tomkin shouted and then he carried Chris over his shoulder and decided to retreat.

Frieza who heard the shout said plainly, "Since you've already come. Why bother escaping, let me send you all directly to afterlife"

Frieza then appeared in front of the escaping mercenaries to the other's horror.

Then, miserable screams echoed in the forest as a massacre started.

Huff!

Huff!

Carrying Chris over his shoulder, Tomkin's breathing was quite heavy. Beads of sweat covered his head and whole body.

He felt he was quite lucky because the demon didn't chase him. But when he heard the screams and cries of his people. He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

To survive and escape the demon, he left them there.

Even though he knew there will be no change even if he's there. It still won't deny the fact that he abandoned them all.

Tomkin just continues to run away. Even if it is a single step, he wanted to create as much distance between him and the demon.

'This distance should be enough. We should be safe here for now' Tomkin thought as he drops Chris beside the three who already lose his consciousness.

"Damn! I should have not agreed to this task. There's really nothing good happen when dealing with demons!" Tomkin said angrily as he punches and kicks a tree near him.

"Frieza huh... When I return in the capital. I will make sure to tell them what happened here" remembering the demon named Frieza. Tomkin couldn't help but felt fear in his heart. The demon was really powerful, easily killing everyone.

"Did you just curse this lord behind his back?"

When Tomkin heard those words, he felt that the heavens already abandoned him. A cold chill crawl through his spine and his body were quickly covered in cold sweat.
