{Garos Arena of Great Alliance, after massacre.}
Blood was everywhere and in the center was standing only one person.
Insane smirk was on person's face, though you couldn't see it because of mask.
That insane smirk became insane chuckle and burst into full insane laughter.
[You got what you deserve, you lower life forms.]
You could only see left upper half of person's face.
It was none other then Driza herself, but her eye that was visible was different.
She usually has split pupils and blood-red iris just like any other vampire, but now her sclera was purple and her iris was darker purple.
After awhile insane laugh ended.
[Damnit i guess i got carried away.]
[They almost got me there. I need to be more careful in future.
{Garos Arena of Great Alliance, around thirty-seven minutes after Driza killed Xian Shin.}
[I will kill you, i will do it. You are all dead.]
Driza swinged her scythe and pierced one of larger knights through right shoulder from above.
He was in full armor so nothing of his features were visible.
Based on the amount of blood lost he should be dead, so let's move on to the next one.
Suddenly out of nowhere a knight who should have been dead grabbed onto her.
[What, how is this possible, you should be dead from blood lost.
How are you still alive.]
Meanwhile all other knights were fighting illusions of Driza.
[Heh heh ha. You though i was dead didn't you.
HA.
Well think again now that i grabbed you, you are not going anywhere.
[Damn you human scum.]
[Listen to me all of you that are my fellow knights, forget the opponents that are in front of you.
[Huh?]
All of knights focused on that knight.
[They are just illusions, but i on purpose let her pierce me so that i could grab and stop real her.]
So that scum on purpose let me hit him.
How insulting.
You will pay for your insolence.
[He really catched the real one.]
[She is ours now.]
[Yeah let's make her pay.]
[But look at his wound. He took it like a champ.
He was even able to keep quiet in order to fool her to think he is dead.]
[I would expect nothing less from sir Jigris.]
[There is a reason for him to be called walking fortress.]
[Yeah you are right, i shouldn't doubt sir Jgris.
He is for a reason vise-commander of this battalion.]
[Shut up all of you, i don't know how much longer i can keep up like this.]
[Sir.]
Some knights said it, a bit confused.
[Hurry up and blow us up.]
[But sir that will be too much for even you to survive.]
[I know, now do it.]
[B-But s-sir.]
[You received your orders now do it.]
[Sir yes sir.]
All of knights said that, some of them had tears at corner of their eyes.
But even so they will not go against the direct order.
All knights started preparing all kinds of spells
[What, are you scared.
Is member of great Valentia family scared of died because of letting his guard down.]
[Aren't you gonna die with me as well because of that.]
[I am not scared because i am going to heaven, because of my sacrifice many lives will be saved, but my reward will fact that you will rot in hell.]
[Shoot us now.]
[Yes sir.]
All knights fired their attack at her.
[Goodbye, you devil.]
I am sorry Shin sensei. I failed you.
[Stop being cocky, you lower life forms.
Don't underestimate me.]
When their attacks hit target, a giant explosion occur.
After the smoke and debris were settled there was nothing left.
No bodies, no blood and no trace of either of them at all.
[D-Did we won.]
[Yeah, i think we did it.]
[It appears that by some miracle we managed to pull it off.]
[My friends let me hear you for all our fallen comrades.]
Then all knights said.
[Cheers.]
[Wait guys something is wrong.]
[What are you talking about, don't you see that we won, you stupid nerd.]
[Jung Su How many times I've told you to not call me nerd, i am Sugimo, and if we really won shouldn't this citadel or whatever disappear along with illusions.]
[T-That is b-because uhhh whatever, shut up Sugimo.]
While they were quarreling, all knights were celebrating.
One knight was headed towards source of that quarrel. He took of his helmet to show a rather ordinary face. He look like he is in late thirties.
[Enough you two.]
[S-Sir.]
They were startled.
[Now what is this about.]
[Sir it's nothing, just this idiot is overthinking, that's all.]
[No sir i am not overthinking, if we truly won this citadel and illusions should disappear.]
[Now that i think about it, it really does make sense, i guess we got carried away and didn't notice it till now.
I should alert others. Good job Sugimo.]
[Thank you sir.]
[What do you think you are doing?]
Demonic voice said.
[What was that demonic voice.]
[Move Jung su.]
Elder knight said that and pushed Jung su out of way.
After he pushed him a dark silhouette was behind him. Dark silhouette sliced him in half from above.
[I've already told you that none of you scumbags will leave here alive.]
The voice was even more demonic.
All knights got in their battle positions after that.
If i didn't put everything i got in speed it would be much worse, but this scumbags damaged my mistress's visor.
Now only way for me to atonement to make them suffer.
[Demonic Possession: Demonification.]
[How is she still alive after that, i mean we hit her.]
[I dunno but that definitely hit her, just look at her visor.]
[Everyone be careful i am sensing an enormous magical energy from her.]
[You mean she wasn't using her full strength till now.]
[It appears so, everyone brace yourself, i am not going to lie to you there is no chance to win against her, but we will try ours very best because we ARE knights of Great Alliance.]
While they were discussing about what to do Driza's was changing.
Her sclera was turning purple and her iris became dark purple.
Two horns sprouted from her forehead and her cat tail became bone tail with a spike on end.
[You are all dead.]
[Everyone charge.]
{Garos Arena of Great Alliance, present time.}
[Demonification release.]
Her horns receded, her eyes return back to normal and her tail became normal as well.
Damnit those humans.
If it weren't for my speed, it could be disastrous.
But my mistress visor got damaged, i disgrace myself.
I think it's safe now, so i should return this body to my mistress.
[Demon Possession release.]
[Uhh. What happened, last thing i remember is talking to Arin's copy and the- OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE.]
Blood, guts and body parts were everywhere.
The walls of the arena are so stained with blood that one would mistake it for red walls.
On the sites were nothing but guts and body parts.
I took care of everything here my lady.
Though i am ashamed to admit it, I let my guard down and humans took it as their chance and your...
Your Three-eyed monster visor got damaged.
Purple smoke was released from Driza's shadow and formed Arin's body.
[As long as you are alright, it's ok.]
You are too kind my lady.
Ok now then i think i know how to fix it.
She opened the menu and then she opened the character profile
There should be an option to repair everything.
Ah. Here.it is.
[Repair.]
Her whole equipment got repaired.
[Wait why are you here, someone might see you.]
No need to worry my lady, because as i already said i took care of everything here in other words i killed all humans here.
Beside you are the only one who can see me my lady.
My lady i know that it's inappropriate, but may i ask for reward, normally i wouldn't even dare to ask for reward because of this, but since it help you i would like to request it anyway.
Interesting.
[What is it?]
I would like to request permission to read your mind my lady.
[Explain.]
Well if you would allow i would read your mind and we could talk through telepathy.
Because of that we will be able to communicate even if we are surrounded by humans.
[Permission granted.]
Now what is this little black dome?
It's a protective barrier that i created to keep Shardox safe.
Now i need to find a way to transport him without any suspicion.
My lady may i suggest you to use Shadow storage.
Oh and what is that.
it's a spell like inventory, but instead of items it's for keeping people in a special pocket dimension.
I guess you can say that the target got swallowed by their shadow.
[Demon protective barrier release.]
Black dome disappeared.
[And now.]
[Shadow storage.]
Shardox's body was swallowed by his own shadow.
Wow Magic and skills aren't as hard to use as i initially thought.
I only need to focus on magic or skill and my body already knows how to dodge and move with incredible precision.
In fact it's so easy that i didn't realize that i was moving differently from my life as Darina.
I mean before i became Driza i could never jump from rooftop to rooftop.
Alright i can't waste the whole day by standing here.
I think i know the inn that would be safe.
[Golden citadel release.]
With that golden citadel started to crumble and parts of it started to fall down and then they dissolve into particles.
Driza then swiped her index and middle fingers in front of her face, leaving a light purple trail of light behind her fingers.
That should be strong enough cover magic.
[Demonic cover illusion release.]
The barrier around the arena became visible and then started to recede into the ground.
{Out of Garos Arena.}
There were knights possisioned around the arena.
[What the hell is that awful smell.]
[I-I think it's blood.]
[Man the execution must be very interesting if you can smell blood all the way here.]
[No it's not demon blood.]
[What are you talking about, if it isn't that demon's blood then whose blood is that.]
Unknown to them some black silhouette flew over them.
[It's H-H-HUMAN'S BLOOD.]
[We need to hurry inside.]
[You there tell all teams to go in the arena, but to leave some in their position.
Two knights left in each position, everyone else gone in the arena.
[Oh... my... god...]
Everyone was speechless at the scene that could only be described as a massacre.
Some knights puke at the scene, while others fainted.
{Later that day Dragon and Knight inn}
A cloaked figure enters the inn and comes closer to reception.
[Good evening sir, welcome to Dragon and Knight inn.
The cloaked figure removes its hood.
[Oh. I'm sorry ma'am, i thought you were a man.]
[It's okay, i would like to rent a room for two for the time being, just keep it off the list of rentable rooms.]
[Alright it would be a one golden coin with dinner included.]
[Here, you can keep the change.]
She placed one platinum coin.
[Thank you, you are too generous my lady.]
Hm he started to treat me as a noblewoman, well i guess it would be suspicious if i were this rich and not a noblewoman.
[You know "Dragon and Knight inn" an interesting name for an inn.]
[You must be quite knowable, if you think that.]
[So what can you tell me about it.]
[Well that isn't the original name of this inn.
Originally it was called Demon, "Dragon and Knight inn".]
[That was in time after three gods created their people.]
[God of death created people that are today known as demons, goddess of life created all races of Great Alliance, except demi humans who were created by god of death and goddess of life combined power and god of time created dragons and all of them created their nations.]
[For some time all three nations lived in peace.]
[But then God of death and demons and Goddess of life and humans declared war on each other.
While dragons decided to stay neutral just like the god of time.]
Interesting in Verzors story there were "Seven Pure Dragons" Hikari dragon of light, Yami dragon of darkness, Kiminary dragon of thunder, Honoo dragon of fire, Kaza dragon of wind, Tsuchi dragon of earth and Mizu Dragon of water.
They were a guide NPC for new players who decided to play as Dragonoids, it was without doubt the strongest class in the game. I would have had a hard time beating one but i never fought one because they are a "neutral" class.
They were created for players who wanted to play Verzors, but didn't want to fight other players.
Many players didn't like the fact that the strongest class is neutral, but regardless of their demands to place dragonoids in the Great Alliance, while others demand dragonoids to be demons they stay neutral.
[Three best friends were owners of this inn.
Demon Shaz, dragonoid Aroz and human Yuren were these owners.]
[After the Great War between humans and demons started Shaz was forced to return to demon territory or he would be killed.]
[Because of the war every shop that had some item or anything that would have a connection to demons were forced to get rid of it or they would lose their shop
[Humans tried to convince dragons to help them but failed, but Aroz returned to dragons territory because dragons became hated by both sides because they stayed neutral.]
[I don't know why but i think i can trust you, so i will tell you a secret.]
[Shaz, Aroz and Yuren on more occasions meet with their children.]
[Their children became friends and inn became their. They repeated that with their children and so on till this very day.]
[So this inn is property of a demon, dragonoid and human, but if that were public knowledge human and demon owner would be charged for treason, so please don't tell anyone.
I am not even sure why i just told you that.]
[Oh. And if you wonder how i know that, it's because i am twin brother to current human owner.]
[Are you gonna change name into Knight inn?]
[As long as it isn't a direct order from the palace we will not change it.]
[Glad to hear it, but can i ask when is dinner?]
[It will be ready around eight o'clock my lady.]
[Alright I will go to my room now, my keys please.]
[Here you go, keys for room number thirty-three on the third floor.]
{Dragon and Knight inn, third floor,room number thirty-three, time 06:30.}
[Shadow storage.]
From Driza's shadow dark smoke was released and flew above bed and Shardox fell out of smoke on bed.
He was still unconscious.
Suddenly the raven landed on the edge of the open window.
[Hm. A raven what are you doing here little one.]
A cracking sound started coming from the raven and something like an invisible cover barrier shattered and the raven was different.
It had a blood-red circle around the eyes that were completely black, two sharp horns on the head and two horns of the same shape, but a little smaller were behind them.
On its back were spikes and the end of his wing feathers is blood-red.
There was a tube strap on his back with red ribbon.
Ribbon was nothing special, but the symbol on ribbon is a different story.
It is a symbol of demon lord.
