The light of Dawn fell on the trees, and lit up the whole forest. A path could be seen passing through the forest dividing it into two.
A caravan could was passing by; It had many carts moving one after another like ants. Many lower-level Demons could be seen moving together.
There were chances of being ambushed by Demonic Beasts, due to which low blood Demons liked to move together.
Everyone looked a little careful as they passed through the Dark Spot, the place where there were tall trees and light could not pass through the thick canopy.
Many had their fingers crossed, It was a place where the chances of ambush from Demonic Beasts were very high. Due to many people losing life here, it became known as Dark Spot.
A silence descended the place; even Demonic Beasts held their breaths, not daring to get attention. Wheels slowly rolled over the bumpy path, the moment they entered the Dark Spot they started moving faster trying to leave that area faster.
'Whoosh' The cold wind started blowing, scattering dry leaves. The Caravan passed through halfway, and most sighed in relief.
Most of the time the Caravan was attacked while just entering the Dark Spot; there was a slope that made the carts move toward the Dark Spot faster.
This gave them little to no chance to retreat, It was then 'Wooof' they heard a sound that made everyone's ears stood up.
'Wooof', 'Barkk'
Multiple simialr cries could be heared, looking around them they discovered a big group of Demonic Beasts surrounded them.
"Since when did Demonic hounds start appearing here, and what is this number." said a goblin wearing hat.
"We are done for, I don't think many would be able to survive." commented the Imp near him.
"No, It can't be. How can we be so unlucky?" said a Neo-Demon as he fell to his knees, his body giving up.
"We can't give up; let's face them," said a tall Imp as he took out his hammer.
"Yeah, we will not go down with a fight." replied the other.
"I don't know what plan you guys have, but I don't plan to make my wife a widow and children fatherless." Said a Neo-Demon as he raised his sickle.
Others also joined them; they were mostly farmers and workers. They didn't have much experience, however they knew how to fight but they were not very proficient.
The Demonic Hounds appeared close and started circling around them, not in a mood to let even one of them escape.
They had dark brown hide with dark patches all over their body. They had large mouths from which saliva kept drolling.
Crimson eyes could be seen on their aggressive face, what gave them a distinct appearance was a horn on their forehead and an arrow-like end of their two whip-like tails.
These tails were not only for show; they acted like daggers and contained lethal poison. A small group of them approach the first caravan forcing the Driver to retreat.
Demonic Hounds approached the Carvan slowly, releasing loud noices trying to intimidate their opponents.
'Barkk!', 'Brak!'
They were about to launch their attack when, 'Sniff', they sniffed a smell from the first cart their was still someone present there.
Encircling around it, one of them charged at the cart, through the curtains. However, it soon regreated it.
'Smack'
A kick landed on its chest with a leather boot that broke its bones and shot him back. The curtains opened and a figure slowly descended.
It was a humanoid creature, covered in armor. A fury cape made up of dark hide could be seen over its shoulders while a hood made up of a big Wolf head appeared covering its face.
The moment this figure appeared the Demonic Hounds started growling at him; this short child-like figure looked way more terrifying than anyone they had faced till now.
It slowly drew out its long sword; a shiny blade appeared before everyone with a sharpness that looked like cutting through light.
Tiny fingers of the short figure clenched directly on the handle of the sword, a small wings type pattern could be seen on the blade.
The figure pointed its sword at the Demonic Hounds and approached them one step at a time.
"Who is that guy? He appears to be a kid." said one of the Demons.
"Someone stop him; this is not a joke. His life is at risk" said other one.
"Follow me, Its not time to backout" said the Neo-Demon as he led a group behind him.
'Grhhhh' They made agressive noices but the opponent ept appraoching them.
'Bark!' a large voice appeared from the back a bigger Demonic Hound appeared this one had two heads.
Listening to its command the Demonc Hounds started attacking; they were waiting for the command.
Many of them rushed at the figure on the front, attacking him from multiple sides, they believed there opponent would not stand a chance.
However, something unexpected took place, The Demonic Hound that attacked the figure stopped moving. A cut appeared on its neck from which blood burst out.
'Barkkk', 'Bark', 'Bark';
Others charged at him enraged, however the figure appeared fearless. It made minimum movements and its sword sliced though the weak points of its opponents.
His eyes glowing in a Blue glow, were able to see through all of its opponents moves, Next moment it took a small Breath.
Blue Aura covered its feet as if it was walking on a blue Fire. Its body started moving faster, and this time it launched its attack.
The fight continued; Hounds ignored others and focussed on this opponent. They had succeeded in surrounding the opponent when a blue Aura burst through its sword.
It spun in a circle and attacked multiple opponents simultaneously, and multiple bodies fell. 'Barkkk1' A loud bark could be heard that shook every onlooker.
The giant three meter tall Alpha Demonic Hound appeared, 'Growl' Its both heads released a terrifying sound.
However, It was as if he was deaf. The figure ignored it, he brought his sword before his face and closed his eyes for a moment.
He took a deep breath and the moment it opened its eyes, The Sword appeared like a torch of Blue Fire. His body bent a little as It started approaching his opponent.
'Bite'
'Slash'
They exchanged some moves before the figure suddenly accelerated, leaving behind a blue trail it appeared behind its opponent,
'Barkkkkk.' Both its heads fall.
'Splurt' a fountain of Dark blood appeared from the corpse.
'Bark' , 'Bark'
Other Demonic hounds ran away with their tails tucked between their legs not daring to face this teerefying opponent. Dark blood could be seen trickling on the cold sword of the figure.
