Chapter 431 - Large Visible Traces!

GIEEEEEEEEH!!

A Demon screeched across the snowy flat lands, spotting a target and already able to taste blood.

It dashed towards the Target with no signs of stopping whatsoever, its Claws pounding against the ground as it thundered towards a straight path.

At a distance of 8 meters, the Demon pounced on its victim with its claws forward and intents murderous.

Swinging her arm, punching the absolute shit out of the Demon and forcing it to her right side, this fine Human lady who managed to punch a Demon cussed. "Screeching bastard, no one taught you sneak attacks huh."

But who is this lady you might be curious enough to ask, well she is just an elderly Calidum Lutum, 1,412 years old to be more exact.

Although old, she isn't used of this outside world and started falling in love with it as days passed. She has spent all of her life underground, this outside world is different for her.

So considering that fact, she likes to go out and walk. She can obviously handle herself given that she just knocked out a dang Demon.

Although knocked out, this Demon can still be a threat to anyone weaker so she took the liberty to be a Hero today.

With no weapons on her, she decided to use her body weight against the Demon.

Not that I'm calling her fat, but she is a 9 foot tall lady so obviously she is heavy.

She walked closer to this Demon and stomped on its neck, not hearing a crack she did it again and again.

Looking at the Demon's stomach, she noticed that it stopped moving.

Good, this foul being is as good as dead now but where did it come from? She is about half a kilometer away from Town and there are no visible structures in sight (Apart from the Town) not to mention Portals.

So where, just where did this Demon come from?

As badass as this nice old lady is, it is best if she reports this case to the Town's officials and let them deal with it.

Because as good as she is in self defense, she wouldn't want herself facing another Demon, nonetheless tracking them down.

...

Seeing an old lady walk in their Volcanic Rock Igloo, Kazer couldn't help but to give a kind greeting. "Misses Kukus, welcome. I hope everything is alright."

Not in the best mood considering the situation although she did win against a Demon, Kukus answered. "Not alright, I've met with one of those plagues to society."

Recalling a few past dilemmas, Kazer reassured. "Misses Kokus please, we told you that some ill.u.s.tratios are good hearted."

Seeing the misunderstanding although unwilling to react softly to it, she slightly shouted. "I know that, don't tell me what to know. I saw a Demon, it tried to kill me but I killed it instead."

As she uttered that sentence, the Five Grand Master's eyes all opened up wide in shock, they did not expect this to happen.

Kazer broke the painful silence by reassuring, "Was it really a Demon?"

Getting a bit more ticked, she waved her arms trying to convince them, shouting. "I know a Demon when I see one, it had claws, horns and was dark in colour. It was yelling like the Source of Lava was chasing it, crazy."

Trying to protect Kukus' words, but also wanting to take more safety measures, Xalk spoke out. "This can't be no coincidence or imagination, it isn't likely for her to lie either."

Also willing to take action, Altacin asked. "Can you tell us where you killed this Demon?"

Nodding several times, she explained. "Yes yes yes, just walk from the main entrance here until you see a body."

It is easy to say that no one here favours this situation, sure one Calidum Lutum can beat one Demon without using a Weapon but the odds will be to the Demon's favour if more and more suddenly appear across these lands.

...

As they reached the main entrance, Kazer and Laza saw a Human figure flying across the sky, being used to such scenes ever since they met Eric, they hopped to see him fly down.

About going to seek the Demon, it is best if only 2 Grand Masters go check it just to be sure that Lan Zhe will remain safe. If the Town suddenly gets attacked by waves of Demons, it is best that three Grand Masters remain here as an Arsenal.

The flying human finally reached the ground, having their attention already caught this Human go welcomed after landing.

Kazer greeted, his tone stable but his intent pure. "Dilli! Welcome."

Although the welcome warm, she couldn't help but keep a rough attitude. She has been flying for days and has a feeling that Gaster Kingdom might have gotten invaded. "I didn't come here for good, I'm here to carry King Michael and King Eric's word."

Obvious that something bad might have happened, Kazer asked. "What happened?"

As for Laza, she just stood there listening unaware what's going on but sensing that it isn't anything good. She doesn't understand the Ignite language like Kazer does.

Cutting it short, unwilling to have a long conversation, Dilli answered. "Demons are attacking Gaster Kingdom, we need 10 Guards to aid us there or we are doomed to fail."

Although unaware of what happened to Gaster Kingdom ever since she left, she has a feeling that things aren't going well. Demons are the topic here after all, although crazed they can be powerful.

Eric is a kid, but what he says in this Domain goes even though technically he isn't here contributing to the New Lan Zhe so Kazer had no way to disagree. "You can get the Guards, but right now we have a Demonic Dilemma of our own. Someone claims to have slain a Demon."

KUUUUUEEEH!

They heard a sound echo across the Domain, from the other side of the walls to be more exact.

"Well, that's a Demon." Dilli pointed out the obvious and flew off the Ground.

Elevated up in the air for about 40 meters, she managed to spot the Demon considering that it is just a dot above snow.

Chasing after it, although unwilling to spend much time fixing a proper target, once reaching about 15 meters close to it, she shot a 5 foot wide Fireball, hitting the Demon in the middle of its spine and splitting it in half.

Its death quick and meaningless, but it is giving more pressure to the fact that Demons are around here and it can get worse.

Landing near it, seeing what was left of its internal organs spread wide across the snow, creating a horrible painting.

She took a deep breath and enjoyed killing one of these Demons once more, they have been on their mind ever since she left Gaster Kingdom and seeing one dead relieved her anger and frustration.

The smell of blood mixed with snow, unleashed a horrible aroma but for Dilli this felt Delicate. She wants to wiff it, she takes deep breaths trying to take it all in.

Interrupting her unusual preferences, Kazer walked close and said. "That is an actual Demon."

Sarcastic, although unintentional. Dilli answered. "No kidding."

Blowing a long lasting Fire from her palm, enslaving the Demon's carcass with a blaze, not to be mistaken with a Fireball, the sole intent here is to burn th Demon's body so no one else has to see this foul scene.

At first Kazer wanted to ask what she is doing but once remembering the work that Osira along with the rest of the 15 Fire Controlling ladies put against the ill.u.s.tratian Alliance, he could put two and two together.

Getting that portion over with, she turned her attention back to Kazer and asked. "Can you get my Guards ready now? We will depart this hour."

Genuinely concerned for her, he asked. "Are you sure you don't want to sit back and relax for a while? We have fish and water, you must be very tired."

Ignoring his offers, as something else caught her attention. She let the silence stretch for over half a minute as she squatted down and glanced upon the snow.

These Demons leave awfully visible tracks considering the size of their claws, so she started walking and following a path she chose.

Having not much options but to follow, Kazer and Laza walked after her with curiosity of where this is going.

Circling around for a while, considering that Demons would run crazily far too often, after 5 minutes they found their selves close to the long ruined Ignite Castle.

This castle is over 6,000 years old, long abandoned after the ice age met an end.

The Calidum Lutum used this Castle as a landmark, and built the New Lan Zhe only a hundred meters away from this Castle but decided to label it unusable since it can crumble down at any time.

Dilli Flury pointed at the Ignite Castle and stated. "The Demon came out of here."
