Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Give me back my totem

[Few Minutes Earlier]

Ser Tristan rode his horse into the gate of the Mongol County, walls guarded by the watch guards of the lands, he was quickly surveyed before they ushered him into the land, he rode his horse.

Covering tens of kilometers as he approached the city of the Mongolin County!

" So this is the Mongol County huh? It’s one of the twenty counties under the Crossword Dukedom, I believe there was a report about a coup, why is it all silent? " Ser Tristan asked himself!

He sniffed the air, thanks to the dragon heart.....his senses has been heightened, his swordmanship skill is on a different level as well not to talk of his physical prowess, Ser Tristan maintained his calmness.

Riding his horse through the first village that he came across!

That was when everything began, the Mongolin County was engulfed in demonic energies, with all angles sealed by the dark barrier wrapped around the land, his eyes squinted, recognizing this offensive power!

" Demonic energy? the reports were correct, there really is a demon in this land, I have to....." Ser Tristan was silenced by the rapid deaths he came across, villagers choked on the air, convulsed aggressively.

Hundreds fell oto their deaths, their bodies dried out!

Wails, screams and agony were all that he heard, bodies of the innocent laid waste on the ground, bewildered by what he came across, Ser Tristan halted his horse and he mounted down from his horse.

" The demonic energies released into this land is on a different level, It’s understandable that this ordinary humans would be killed, this level of energy release.....It really is a noble demon " Ser Tristan said.

He approached one of the dried corpses he could see!

He carefully examined the body, although it could be ruled out as an effect of demonic energy but he knew for a fact that wasn’t the case, their souls have been extracted the moment the seal was unleashed.

" Soulless bodies, this is the work of a rare specimen, an abnormal demon, Commander Dylan is in trouble, I have to get to them before anything else happen " Ser Tristan said but before he could make a move.

The screams of his horse erupted, within seconds....Ser Tristan’s horse had its body scattered into pieces, it’s bloods splashing heavily across the field, startled by what he just came across, Ser Tristan tilted his gaze.

His gaze darkened the moment he sensed a demonic presence!

" Do you know what you’ve done? " Ser Tristan questioned, his voice etched with venom, he stood firmly, his eyes squinted when the sounds of approaching footsteps drew closer, emerging from the shadows.

A mantis headed creature walked out of the darkness, cladded in a jet black suit, It stood before Ser Tristan!

An unranked demon!

" Sorry but I’ve been commissioned to stall for time until he comes, you’re not permitted to leave this premises and you cannot save your friends.....they are his prey " the demon spoke out, irritated by the intense demonic energies covering the atmosphere.

He unsheathed his sword!

" I don’t know what you’re talking about, but what I do know is I won’t be leaving this place until I kill you right? you are an unranked demon from Hell, it will be easy killing you " Ser Tristan spoke out!

He took a step forward, releasing his auras into the air!

" Hmmmm, what a unique aura that is, now I see why the Baron wants you, but don’t you think you’re quite arrogant? even though I’m an unranked demon of Hell, a mediocre species like the humans are nothing compared to my might "

" I won’t be killing you tonight but I’ll make you suffer for your direspect!! " Its demonic voice echoed vastly into the darkened space, the sounds of screeches covered hundreds of metres away!

Releasing its demonic energies.....the demon caused it’s hands to be transformed into blades, without hesitation, it charged against Ser Tristan, swinging it’s demonic blade against the knight before him.

Ser Tristan sensed the attack, he stepped away.... evading the slash!

\Psuedo Skill: Draconic Override is active/

Ser Tristan’s senses was heightened a thousand times, he saw through the next attack, blocking the blades of the unranked mantis demon with his blade, Ser Tristan was pushed back a little, he staggered back.

The Mantis Demon vanished from the scene!

Erasing it’s presence as it existed within the demonic darkness, watching the every move of Ser Tristan...

" Tch, unranked or not.....a demon is really a demon, Its speed is on a different level but it lacks the exact strength it needs or perhaps it’s a demon which specializes in assasination? " Ser Tristan asked himself.

He remained unfazed..... standing within the darkness!

" Hmmm, he isn’t scared huh? since he’s a human.....I thought he would have some human emotions, the act of being scared of the night.....a predator lurks in the darkness and yet he stands unfazed? "

" What a suprise.....even though I’m not going to kill him "

" I should atleast make him pay for the crimes of downgrading me " the Mantis Demon declared, it stretched forth it’s hand, it released it’s demonic energies without hesitation, scattered across the vicinity!

It’s bug eyes glowed brightly and it’s hands returned back to the way it was!

Sharp demonic claws sprouted out of its fingers, revealing it’s sharp fangs, the Mantis Demon vanished from the scene, releasing waves of shock into the air, it appeared right behind Ser Tristan!

It’s claws were unleashed against Ser Tristan!

Aiming to rip Ser Tristan apart with its claws, it’s movements were unpredictable, his appearance was instanteous, bringing down its ferocious attacks but it was met with the shock of its life.

" Wha.....wha.....what is this? "

It’s hands were chopped off within seconds, unable to read through the speed of Ser Tristan, the Mantis Demon fell back, aiming to retreat back into the darkness to regenerate but it was too late for that to happen.

Ser Tristan closed the distance between them and with a single swing of his blade, the demon was decapitated before it could respond, naturally it would have regenerated from that attack but it was killed by a draconic being.

The essence of a dragon...draconic auras!

" Despite being strong and fast, an unranked demon remains unranked for a reason, but it depends on levels.....after all, there are unranked demons capable of using proper demonic magics "

" I came across one of the weak ones " Ser Tristan stated.

" My horse is gone, If I’m going to get to Commander Dylan on time, I have to run " Ser Tristan stated, slowly shealthing his blade back into his scabbard, he supersped, the air shook vigorously, sending waves of shock.

The atmosphere was twisted by the insane pressure he unleashed within his speed!

[Now]

" What the hell is going on in this land? why is the sky suddenly black? " The voice of Ser Jiyer was heard, startled by the sudden change in the atmosphere, he had check outside to confirm what’s happening.

Bewildered by the darkened sky!

Commander Dylan remained calm, he tried controlling his feelings, a commander does not show weakness, he remained calm, leaving Ser Jiyer to panick, and then the chief captain Touska Jigiwe came rushing.

He ran into the room without hesitation, faced with both Ser Jiyer and Commander Dylan, the eyes of Commander Dylan’s squinted at his deputy’s panic gaze, seeing how calm Commander Dylan is.

They both became calm!

" Chief Captain Touska, you came in rushing without proper greetings, why is that? " Commander Dylan questioned, his barritone voice echoed, sitted magestically with his arms folded.

" I’m sorry about but I came rushing for a reason "

" We are currently under attack, but the attackers are no humans but demonic creatures, they are the Kuzaites " Chief Captain Touska reported, he had slain a bunch of them before he came to report.

" Kuzaites? what are they? " Commander Dylan asked!

" They are demonic harbingers and one of the twelve four demonic species, they are mostly known for their insect forms and nature but they are rare to come across, to think we will be fighting against them "

" How many are they? " Ser Jiyer asked.

" I don’t know, couldn’t properly count but what I know is they are in their thousands " Chief Captain Touska answered, Ser Jiyer sighed out loud, he turned....gazing at the commander sitted besides him.

" Commander.....what should we do? " Ser Jiyer asked.

" There’s nothing much that can be done, we were trapped before we could even send a message to the troops waiting outside for my command, why don’t you come out of your hiding spot already "

" I know you have been watching us for sometime now, Mr. Demon " Commander Dylan uttered!

The sounds of giggle echoed, stunning the two figures present in the room!

A pitch black demonic energies smokes emerged out of nothing, darkening space itself when he manifested himself, standing before the three forces of the Black Corps, a grin escaped his lips!

Grey eyed, black haired and sharp fangs!

" To think I would be noticed by a mere human, but now that it has come to this, perhaps I should proceed with my plans, I was initially planning on torturing you guys for quite sometime but he’s coming "

" The main price is on his way here "

" So why don’t we get started? I’ll be killing you all right now but first, give me back my totem " His demonic voice echoed, a third eye appeared on his forehead and his stinger tail was unleashed!

Releasing black mists into the air, Chief Captain Touska unsheathed his blade, he charged against the Demon, aiming to land a single hit, it happened so swiftly.....heavy bloods splashed on the wall!

The head of the chief captain exploded and his corpse collasped on the ground!
