Chapter 20 - The Crimson night (Part I)

"Hold on Sia Chan."

Startled by the sudden interruption by Haruto she fell down "Oww". I am sorry for interrupting your spiritual advance but we cannot attack 50+ people from the front, and besides, there are many tents there that mean there are many more groups other than the group you want to kill, and I dont want to cause any commotion okay? Haruto said.

"I am Sowy," Sia said fumbling.

It's fine, I think they are going to the poison labyrinth so it would be better if we kill them there, I have read somewhere that every dead body gets absorbed by the labyrinth itself, so it would be better to do the dirty work there.

"Hai!! Haruto sama!" Sia said with excitement in her eyes.

Ye...yess so do for now we should set up our tent and see what are the things we would be needing in the labyrinth. Sia chan you said that this the A++ rank labyrinth right? so can you tell me what is the level of the monsters there? Like as in comparison to the monsters outside the labyrinth.

"Um it's like the king of the labyrinth is an S+Rank poison dragon and the monsters from the first floor are strong like blazing wolves and the monsters only get stronger as you go down the floor and up the floor numbers."

So that means the lowest level monster there is a C+ rank one or in simple words, 5 of C rank adventurers are needed to kill a single monster on the lowest floor...Um, Sia chan so you know about a monster named Baoba Demon snake?

"Oh that...I remember my dad telling me about that monster, oh yeah! now I remember! its a very strong monster which is found on the 43rd floor and its rank is -S, but Haruto sama why do you ask about that monster?"

"Oh nothing, I have read about it somewhere so I was just curious." Haruto said scratching his head.

Damn that old bastard an S- rank monster? who does he think I am, it would normally take 2 S rank and 5 A+ rank adventurers to fight that thing. But even with the cheats can I handle that thing? Well, I guess I will find that out, the first thing I have to do is to clean those bastards from the face of this world.

Haruto takes out a simple tent which is just enough for 2 people from his spatial ring and starts layering it out on the ground.

"Haruto sama at least let me do this you can rest after all you are my benefactor and I cannot let you do all the work." Sia said.

Well ok if you insist

What? Just because she is a fox? and a child? I am not a softie and well whatever she told me herself that she wanted to help, and by the time the tent will be put up I would be done with my meditation. Oh, right I forgot to mention after I healed her that day she became older somehow even taller than me and now she can transform into half-human half-demon form.

Huff, It's always so comfortable after when I meditate its as if I can feel my tiredness fading away at an insane speed and after I am at peak condition the energy starts converting into mana and it increases my mana pool, I dont know many kinds of magic but it doesn't hurt to increase mana right?

"Kyaa!!" A loud scream came from the campsite

Huh?! That scream Sia chan? I dashed towards the camp the moment I heard her scream.

[At the Camp]

"Hey look another fox girl." "Yeah I know right and I thought we killed them all, looks like she managed to escape somehow, well it doesn't matter now just kill her and get over it." "Yeah, but look at her body it's so soft and those mounds on her chest...*gulp* let me have some fun with her before we kill her." "Just get done with whatever you want quick."

Seeing the man coming towards her with a lecherous look on his face, tears welled up in her eyes *Hic* Haruto sama I am sorry even after growing up I am not strong enough it's better to just die saying so she took out a dagger and put it on her neck tears were coming out of her eyes as he spoke in a soft voice "Mom Dad I am coming to meet you all..."

"Siaaaaa!!!!!" Suddenly an immature yet cold voice was heard coming from a distance.

Haruto san...

"Take your hands off Sia right now you bastards!!!"

"Who is that kid and what is he shouting about? Is he lost?" "Hey, kid shu.. go to your mom and suck her breasts this is not a place for little brats like you."

"T A K E Y O U R H A N D S O F F S I A R I G H T N O W!!"

His voice sent shivers down the adventurer's spines it was as if he was not hearing a kid but a divine beast and his voice were as if he was giving a divine order. The Adventurer shuddered and reflexively let go of Sia's Hand. Seeing the chance Sia ran towards Haruto and hid behind his small back.

"Are you alright?" The voice that came out Haruto's mouth this time was completely different it was warm yet childish.

This Bastard! The adventurer gnashed his teeth as he shouted "Hey brat you know what are you doing? You are saving a demon it's the same as going against the whole of humanity so be a good kid and move aside and let me kill that demon."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!" This time Haruto started laughing like a madman, "Huh, going against humanity? so be it, if humans are like you then demons are far better than humans."

Hey Sia! was there someone else beside him who saw you? "Ye...yes it was a man who killed my parents along with others..." Sia said while emitting killing intent.

"I see"

"Hey what are you two rambling about? Huh planning to run? you cannot run from me." The adventurer laughed while showing his disgusting teeth and making a lustful face."

*Swish* He stopped laughing as he saw a figure flashing by him. "Argh!!!!!!!AAAA!!!" the next moment he felt a stinging pain in between his legs he saw his sword with which he has raped many women was not there.

"Sia it's your turn, take the dagger and kill him like he killed your parents," Haruto said in a solemn voice.

Looks like we won't get a chance to deal with them in the labyrinth, he smirked as he saw 40 or so men walking towards them.
