Karasu brought Rem towards the herd of monsters while Roy ran towards Karasu and Rem in his human form.
「Master, why do you want to risk your life for this city?」
'Although there are people who I dislike here, there are still good people.'
「I understand. Whatever choice you make, I'll follow you.」
'Thank you, Cynric.'
{I recommend you to change back to your monster form. You're stronger in your monster form. You'll need it. If things get too dangerous, the system will have no choice but to stop you.}
'No, I won't change into my monster form. I'll only do that when I have to.'
{Whatever you say...}
After getting out of the city, Roy immediately shifted back to his dragon form.
"KIII!" Roy flew under Karasu and Rem.
"Thanks, Roy."
Karasu let go of Rem. Rem got on Roy's back.
"Karasu, you can go guard the city now. Report to me if anything bad happens," Rem ordered.
"Understood!" Karasu turned back, flying towards the city.
「Master! There are demons in the distance!!!」
'Demons...? I can definitely sense two strong presences coming from there...!'
Rem activated her stealth, grabbing the tiny sword inside her pocket. The tiny sword then became a dagger.
'Cynric, you can hurt demons, correct?'
「Of course.」
'Great! I need to interrogate them first before killing them. There are two demons... I need to get as much information from them as possible.' Rem could see the two demons not too far from her.
The demons were both muscular, has two horns on top of their heads, black hair, has a pair of demon wings, and a pair of bloody red eyes. The pupils were black while the sclera was the color of blood. You can even see veins showing on the demons' body. Their nails are about the length of a nickel. There wasn't much of a difference between the two demons. They looked very similar.
'Roy, stop. I need to look at their stats for a second.' Rem ordered.
Roy stopped where he was as commanded while Rem inspected one of the demon's stats.
[Name: N/A]
[Race: Demon]
[Role: Low Ranked Demon]
[Level: 82]
[HP: 210,000]
[MP: 10,000]
[Element(s): N/A]
'Similar to the world in my past life, the demons here also don't have any elements.' Rem thought.
Before she could inspect the other demon, the demon Rem was about to inspect noticed her.
"Ha? What's a human doing here with a dragon?" The demon asked fearlessly, speaking in a language demons spoke.
"Don't tell me you're scared!" Another demon laughed.
"I'm not!!! The human's not a problem. Neither is the dragon since the dragon's still young!" The first demon protested, glaring at Rem and Roy.
"I haven't eaten a dragon before..." The demon who laughed at the other demon licked his lips, smiling creepily.
"Before you do anything, answer my questions." Rem said in demon language.
"You can understand what we're saying??!"
Both demons looked surprised.
"Whatever... It doesn't matter. We'll kill you both!" One of the demons charged at Rem.
The other demon attacked Rem from the opposite side. Despite the huge level difference, Rem could dodge every single one of the demons' attacks.
"Tell me who made those monsters like this." Rem demanded.
"No way! I would never tell something like this to a mere human!!!" A demon yelled, throwing attacks at Rem continuously.
'Their levels are high, at least one of them is, but they fight like monkeys...' Rem made the dagger shift back into its smaller version, putting it back into her pocket.
She then grabbed both of the demons' heads, holding one head on each hand, and smacked both heads together using her strength.
"Urk!!!" The demons became dizzy, trying to back away but couldn't since Rem was still holding onto their head.
"What do you want???"
"Tell me why there are so many monsters going towards the city."
"If I tell you, I'll get my head chopped off!" The demon argued.
The other demon didn't say anything.
"You guys either tell me or you'll die right now..." Rem used her killing intent, making both demons scared for their life.
"War... We're going to declare war and take over the whole world, starting at this city! That's all I know so please spare me...!" The demon begged.
"Who's the person who ordered you to come here?" Rem asked.
"I-I can't tell you that..."
"Who's the person who ordered you to come here?" Rem asked again in a menacing tone.
"Our King! The Demon King was the one who ordered us all to—" Before the demon could say anything else, his head was suddenly cut off from his body, blood splattering everywhere.
Rem was now holding the demon who answered Rem's questions head. The demon's body fell. Surprised, Rem threw the demon's head away.
'It seems that if a demon tells me anything, their head will get automatically chopped off.' Rem thought, looking at the other demon who looked horrified.
"I knew it! Our King—" The other demon's head was chopped off too.
'Oh, great. Now my questions won't be answered.'
Red portals appeared everywhere in the sky. Demons came out from these portals.
'What in the world...'
「Master, quickly get away from here!!!」
{The Host Is In A Dangerous Situation. You'll Be Automatically Turned Into Your Monster Form!}
'Huh?' In a second, Rem was changed back to her monster form.
'Why am I in my monster form??? Why can't I change back to the human form?'
{The system has disabled it. Get to somewhere safe in five minutes. NOW.}
'Show me the closest safe place...'
{Obviously, it's the city.}
'I can't just go inside the city looking like this!' Rem argued.
{You have no choice. If you don't go there yourself, the system will do it for you.}
'...Fine!' Rem jumped down from Roy's back and ran towards the city.
'Roy, shift to your human form and tell my comrades that I'm fine. Only tell them if they ask.'
"Kiii!" Roy nodded his head and shifted to his human form.
In a few minutes, Rem arrived at the city. When people saw Rem, they were horrified.
"A MONSTER HAS GOTTEN INSIDE THE CITY!!!" Someone yelled in fear.
Everyone was panicking.
"Die, you monster!" A man threw a rock at Rem.
"Get out of the city!!! Go back to where you came from!" Someone in the crowd yelled.
"Disappear already! Everyone, grab your weapons and attack that creature! The sooner it dies, the better!!!" Another person said loudly, grabbing a weapon.
More people began to throw rocks at Rem. A few even grabbed their knives, trying to scare Rem off. Rem took another glance at those people and ran off towards a place in the city where there weren't many people.
"What's going on???" A knight asked, wondering what all the commotion was about.
"Over there! The monster ran that way!!!" A woman pointed.
"We'll try to catch it. Everyone, please grab your things and get ready to leave the city." The knight said, running towards where Rem went.
