Chapter 35

I stand there, watching the demonic screaming in pain. Slowly, they melted away. That fire is not normal. How can it be so powerful!? 

At least, I'm saved from those demonic. I let out a relieved sigh. Now, I have to think about how to get out--

"GRRR~"

I jolt as I hear a low growl behind me. Don't tell me there's demonic also behind me? But this unfamiliar presence makes me safe somehow. I turn around, facing whatever that thing is.

That's when my jaw dropped. 

"Hello, Maya. We meet again." the red dragon I met before is there, in front of me.

I furrow my eyebrows and slowly take a step backward since he's so huge.

"You...How did..." I lost my words.

"Don't mistake it. You are the one who comes here. I didn't follow you." he said.

"Me?" I point at myself.

"Yes. You are in my place." he lay on the ground. "I'm surprised to see you again this soon, Maya."
