Volume 2: Chapter 1 - Part 7
Author: Geraint
After cleaning up and packing everything in our camp, everyone went on board in the bus while their homeroom teacher is checking if anyone is missing from the class.
"Uuuuu~"
The couple whom I caught having sex on the woods got very embarrassed while covering their faces.
"This is too much! I can't face everyone."
Seeing the group of friends cheering up the girl, it seems they are very aware of their relationship.
"Don't worry. Seir never said anything about you two. He just reminded everyone not to stay farther from the camp."
"But he was watching and he saw us... Nishimiya and Mizuno-senpai was there too."
"It's fine."
They tapped her in the shoulders.
When all the students has entered the vehicle, their teacher came to me and she reported:
"Everyone is here, Seir-kun. We're ready to go."
I turned around and called the other two.
"Lilith! Lory! We're leaving now!
"Yes, Seir-sama!"
Lilith appeared like a ninja, kneeling to me while Lory was yawning from drowsiness.
I went to the driver seat and started the engine.
"Hey, Seir... I've been curious about it. I wonder where we are heading."
The teacher asked timidly from behind my back.
"Demon Realm."
"Eh? It's not a dangerous place, right? They told us that demons are ruthless beings. They rape humans and eat them alive. You're not bringing us there just to get eaten, right?"
She sounds very scared.
"I can't deny about sexual assault since human does that crime too but eating humans sounds very disgusting. It's just a made up story by the folks to scare their kids. We don't eat humans unless they feed you to a demon beast."
"Hie!"
The teacher shivered.
The bus ran forward and I turned, crossing the shallow part of the river.
"You don't have to worry. No one will get hurt as long as everyone listens to me."
In the middle of night while everyone was sleeping, the road that we are passing suddenly got dense and slowly shrouded by fog.
"We're entering the abandoned woods. Aren't this place dangerous with different ferocious beast lurking around here even ghost."
Lory spoke, looking bored beside me.
"It's fine. Abandoned means there's no humans will pass this road. It's hard to give way with the road this small and crowded by old trees."
"Boss, we are being surrounded."
With Lory frowning outside, I can also sense several creatures running outside in the woods. They aren't visible because of their speed and obstruction from the fog.
"How troublesome..."
I sighed, stepping on the brake then I went outside of the vehicle.
"I'll just go pee outside. Guard this vehicle for the mean time."
"Yes."
Going to the woods, I stood up close to a tree and peed when I looked above to see a giant wolf drooling with the glinting red as it stare down on the prey which is me.
"I don't like your meat. Get lost!"
"RAWR--"
It suddenly opened and tried to eat me but the beast missed the target as I already standing on top of its back and instead, I peed on the head.
"What are you doing, you stupid mutt? There's nothing over there."
The giant wolf shook its body as I jumped, closing up my zipper. It jumped and tried to reach me with its mouth but I stepped on the nose and pushed the wolf down.
"RAWR!"
The skin on my right hand turned darker and my fingernails became sharp and pointed like a demon claw. I grinned as I dove down, slashing the eyes of the giant wolf and it growled in pain.
It should its head while I walked and sliced through the front limbs then the back legs, leaving it unable to move around and breathing heavily from bleeding from severed limbs.
"This will serve as my warning to your pack."
Taking a pity on the dying giant wolf, I swung my demonic claw and decapitated it to end its life.
"Hm?"
Several giant wolves showed up one by one, surrounding me. My right hand has already returned back to normal which soiled by the wolf's blood.
"Ugh... I don't want everyone to see this."
My sleeves got also stained which was mistake for showing off too much.
"Well, I guess... I'll just use it."
I gathered the blood dripping off from the lifeless giant wolf to my hand, turning into thin-like strings moving around my palm.
"Blood Manipulation..."
The blood strings wrapped and tied down all the giant wolves on every parts of the body in an instant, rendering them unable to move and struggle from constriction.
"Shred!"
Blood splattered around as all the giant wolves was sliced into pieces like a chunk of meat.
Meat are scattered around but I didn't have any interest on it since it's from a carnivorous beast.
I already tried it in the past and it's really bad. It's also bad for the human health if I feed it to someone from what I learned from the books. There's no way I will feed those meat to my family and friends. I just have exception with the bear meat.
Leaving it like that, I returned back to the vehicle and Yuuka woke up, looking for me.
"Onii-sama, where did you go?"
She was sitting with Shiina and they were leaning at each other while sharing one blanket.
"I just took a break."
I sat back at the driving seat and Lory woke up and rubbed her eyes.
"What happened, Boss? You took your time."
"I just dealt with those mutts. We're going now."
We continued our journey through the foggy woods.
The next day, we stopped by the lake and I prepared breakfast for everyone. They enjoyed the meal and I lied down myself on the cushion with Shiina giving me a lap pillow and other girls stared at me as I rest for today.
"Here he go again. How can he be laid back in this kind of situation?" Kaho-san asked.
---
Standing at the peak of the cliff with waterfall flowing down close it, a beautiful lady with long silky light green hair with black wings like a crow behind her back, flapping out while she was praying as she kneeled down on the ground. She was wearing a sleeveless white gown with a slit on the side that exposes her left leg. She was barefoot with blacelets in each of her feet.
"Huh."
Sensing something, her eyes opened glinting like a gold as she turned around and glanced above, seeing a battalion of soldiers clad in armor with white wings descending from the sky together with sword and shield in their hands.
They all landed down and surrounded her as the leader took his helmet and showed his face which was tall man with muscular body.
"Former Captain of the 1st division, Hecate. We all came here to arrest you. Surrender yourself and follow us back to Lumiere Kingdom."
The lady blinked twice then she tilted her head in confusion.
"Who are you?"
The leader of winged soldiers lost his calm and became angry.
"You witch! How dare you forget about your superiors!"
"Well, you're right. I am now one of the disaster witches. The Witch of Humility, Hecate and I'm serving under the demon prince Seir."
"Hahaha! Look how low you have fallen. You were once a part of the elite leaders of the prideful Angel race. Now, you are serving a lowly demon. I heard that he was a half-breed and has no place in the demon realm. He is a wanted traitor just like you."
The leader mocked her and laughed.
"At least, he understood what I am going through and he even helped me. I met up with new people who also outcast just like me. I'm glad and happy to become part of their group."
The lady smiled and this made him furious.
"I will make you regret your decision. Everyone, kill her!"
He ordered his men.
Summoning a very sharp scythe in her hands, the lady swung it around and took them all down in one fell swoop, sending them all flying with a whirlwind after cutting them down. It was raining blood as the bodies fell down from above with their white wings tainted.
"Arrrrgh!"
The leader trembled and stumbled down when his subordinates got wiped out in an instant.
"Oi! Do you know what will happen if our King heard about this? They will raise your punishment to execution! His highness, the Sky King will come down himself with the whole army and hunt you down!"
Sweating profusely, he warned the lady with his index finger pointed at her.
The lady glared hearing about their king and she gritted her teeth anger until some familiar people appeared behind the leader. Her eyes widened when she immediately recognized them.
"Hannya! Naamah! It's been a while!"
"We have some great news, Hecate. But before that..."
The red Oni girl wrapped her arm around the neck of the leader of winged soldiers.
"I just heard you spouting something interesting. Care if we could join?"
"Huh?"
The leader's face became pale and his body shivered in fear.
"Demons!"
Hannya moved her metal spike bat close to his neck which made him felt threatened.
"Hie!"
"You angels are too conceited even though your race is not much different from Harpies and other flying creatures."
"Shut up, you lowly beings! We, the proud angel race are chosen people by the heaven to rule everything below! You guys should be kneeling and licking our feet--"
Hannya got annoyed and slammed his head on the ground which she ended up squashing him to death.
"Ah! My bad."
"Forget it, Hannya. He reap what he sow. Anyway, what is this good news?"
"I finally had a contact with Seir-sama and I was ordered to gather all the disaster witches."
Naamah took out a crystal ball from the void she created like a dimensional storage.
"What about Lilith? Isn't she with him?"
"Yeah, both of them were able to escape from the Demon King Castle."
The crystal ball lit up and the face of Lilith appeared.
"Naamah, we've been trying to contact you!"
"Eh? Sorry, Lilith! I was too busy!"
Naamah apologized as Lilith was frowning.
"Anyway, Hannya and Hecate is with me now. We're going to look for Marah after this."
"Seir-sama is currently resting and I don't to disturb his sleep."
"That's unfortunate then... Wait! Now, I'm sensing it. Why does our connection seems faster now? It supposed to take a long time before the connection established between different worlds."
"That's because we returned."
The three of them were surprised.
"We accidentally got caught in hero summoning and now, we're back here."
"Really?"
"Before looking for Marah, I want you guys to come here in the human territory and meet with us. I'll tell the details later once we found our current exact location."
"Okay."
"We'll talk later again after I finished my job here."
The light on the crystal ball disappeared and the communication ended. The three of them grinned then they nodded with each other.
"To the human territory! Seir-sama has returned!"
They immediately left together.
