"Where!?" Aiden looked at her, waiting for an answer.
"There..." Ivy stretched her arm and pointed her finger at the dense forest.
"Isn't it the forest where we first met?" Aiden raised his brows, he was getting confused at this moment.
"Yes, it is the place where we met... The royal blooded dragon must be there. The dragon blood is getting colder but it is starting to move weirdly, which indicates that the dragon is losing life force and it is close to us." She explained to him, clearing some of his doubts.
"Let's go then..." Aiden looked at her before flying towards the forest.
Ivy also flew beside him, keeping an eye on the events happening in the forest.
After flying for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the forest.
The forest was deep so they couldn't continue flying right now.
They would miss the things covered by the large trees if they used any flying skills in here, that was not what they wanted so they decided to land.
"We should land here." Ivy said, looking at Aiden.
"Yeah." Aiden nodded and landed on the ground.
"Krahhh!!!" The strange scream once again sounded in their ears, the noise was piercing through their brain, making them feel dizzy.
"This is definitely the scream of the dragon, no other creature in this forest has such powerful voice." Ivy gestured at Aiden to follow her.
Aiden quietly followed behind her, walking deeper into the forest.
They kept walking further and further into the forest until something strange happened. "Wait!" Ivy grabbed his wrist and twisted it, making him bend down a little.
"Owww...!" Aiden couldn't react in time, he was shocked by this move of hers.
"What happe-" Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Ivy interrupted in the middle.
"Shhh-" She put her finger kn her lips, indicating him to stay silent.
Aiden instantly shut his mouth and looked around, trying to observe the situation.
"Hey... What happened?" He whispered into her ear.
"There is someone who is targetting us, my demonic senses are almost accurate in these things, you have to believe me and follow what I say for now.
She gave him a serious look, making him nod his head silently.
"Let's go..." She lowered her tone and gestured at him.
Aiden nodded and continued following her.
***
"Krahhhh!!" Somewhere in a dark place, a black creature with a strange sign on it's forehead was crying out in pain.
Looking at this, an old man wearing a dark cape laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha!!" His voice was very deep and devilish, making him sound like a real monster.
"Grhhh!!" The black creature got furious upon seeing the maniacal old
man.
"Get furious as much as you want, I won't end your life without torturing you." The old maniac once again laughed in a devilish voice.
"The slave of nightshade... Do you know how much efforts we put in, looking for you." The old man was talking to the black creature, making it look like a conversation between humans rather than unknown creatures.
"Grr!!" The black creature tried to break through the shackles which were forbidding him from murdering this old man here and right now.
"Ha, Your puny strength is not even enough to put a scratch on these shackles, you should just learn when to give up." The old man took out a whip from his ring and hit a piece of rock with it.
The rock broke into very small pieces, looking almost like dirt.
"Let me try this on you-" The old man laughed like a maniac once again and whipped the black creature 10 times.
"Now, you should atleast learn to behave." The old man grinned, revealing his ugly teeth.
"The slave of nightshade... Do you think we will let you off after what your master did to our ancestor?" The old man's face turned ugly, making his wrinkles double in numbers.
"Krrrh!" The black creature cried out loud, making the ground to shake.
***
"Whoosh-" An arrow with a sharp bone head was fired towards Ivy, making her retreat immediately.
Aiden was also dealing with the arrows at this moment, he was struggling to keep up with the speed, he now wanted the beastly reaction speed of the demons like Ivy.
"Arghh!" A sharp arrow struck his shoulder, making him let out a painful cry.
Ivy instantly turned back and booked at Aiden, who was barely keeping up with the speed of arrows.
"Aiden, you have to deal with it for now, I will soon find a way to get out of here." She felt really helpless right now, none of her skills were working, a barrier was set up in the sky which was preventing them from leaving through the air route.
As for the teleportation skills, they were not being activated, preventing them from leaving through any portal or any teleportation item.
"Swoosh-" She was suddenly reminded of the misfortune that they were facing right now, making her snap back into reality.
An arrow was targetted at her stomach, not giving her enough time to react.
Aiden saw this and quickly jumped forward to save her.
"Huh!?" Ivy jumped back in shock. Aiden swiftly moved his hand and stopped the arrow in the air.
"T-thankyou for saving me..." Ivy instantly blushed and then focused on the arrows once again.
Aiden didn't have the time to talk to her as he was facing a lot of arrows right now.
"We have to find the person who is firing these arrows at us." Ivy looked at Aiden and shouted loudly, making sure that he could hear her properly.
"Yeah." Aiden instinctively dodged the arrow and nodded his head.
He leaped forward and tried to keep dodging the arrows, hoping to find the person behind this all.
"Crack-!" A loud and fierce beam of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hitting something with full accuracy.
"Huh!?" Aiden and Ivy both looked shocked, Ivy looked back and exclaimed. "Master-!
