Chapter 13 I’ll Handle The Demons.
"Demons?" Sato muttered to himself, he overheard what the dark elf was saying to his people.
'Helix, could these be the same demons those women who locked me up were worried about?' Sato inquired of his system.
<<Question confirmed... it seems unlikely that they are the same, but in terms of race they are>>.
"I should do take a closer hearing." He murmured before heading over to the crowd.
"Calm down Deka, breath," Giron said as he used his hand to rob Deka's hair, trying to calm him down.
Everyone could see the way he was panting, while some were terrified others were angry and frustrated.
"I'm sorry Chief." Deka uttered, "but I couldn't stop them.
They came in demanding another set of women but we already told them we have none to spear, they chose not to listen and began to take them by force…but then- then a girl in black dressing protected us." He uttered.
"Black dressing?" Divanchi questioned.
"Yes Milady, she protected us, and now the demon's plan to wipe out our village if we don't pay what we owe, even with you by our side milady, we can't win a war against them." Deka reported with his eyes facing the ground.
"I guess, they finally lost their patience with us." Giron muttered to himself, they could all see the sad expression on his face.
"Chief, what should we do? I'm willing to fight if you tell me to, if it's for the safety of our people, I'll gladly raise my sword." Elena uttered as she moved toward the Giron.
Giron was still confused about the whole thing, the thought of his village going to the ground especially now that Divanchi refused to rule began weighing on him.
"Chief!" Elena called out again, this time she knelt down in front of him, "I won't hesitate to sacrifice my life for the village, so please give me the order".
Giron turned to look at her, but he had already given up, "We… don't have-".
"What are you all so worried about?" Sato interrupted, drawing everyone's attention to his side.
He stretched out his hand and a scythe materialized, "I'll take care of the demons, but I need you to do something for me." He said.
Divanchi was surprised but was also smiling, almost like she had been waiting for him to say those exact words.
Walking over to the dark elf that was on the ground, Sato proceeded to hand him the scythe he was holding.
The dark elf was confused as to why Sato was giving him such a weapon, "Sir.. I don't-".
"While I try to chase the demons away, I want you all to hide here and don't come out," Sato uttered, "I am lending you to this scythe in case you managed to run into a demon while hiding".
"Do you plan to help us?" Giron asked.
"Of course I do, come on Divanchi, let's go slay some demons.'" Sato uttered before dashing back to the village.
He began to make his way to the village, speeding through the trees with Divanchi following behind him.
'Three, no five, I can sense five new magic sources, they must be the demon.' Sato thought to himself.
"Are you sure about this master?" Divanchi asked as she also whooshed past the trees.
"Of course, don't tell me the might Phoenix is scared." Sato responded.
"Unlikely, but If you attack the village, there's no doubt the demons will come back at full force." She uttered again. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
"That was exactly why I told them to wait behind, as of now, I'm still a passerby who just happened to run into some demon while exploring the village." Sato smiled, he couldn't hide the excitement he was feeling.
As soon as he came out of the last tree, the first thing he saw was a girl dressed in black, crushing the wrist of a demon.
The demon was screaming in pain as it struggled to get free from her grip, she had a sinister grin on her lips, almost like she was enjoying every moment of it.
"Is that?" Sato muttered, looking to the left he could see four demos standing in the middle of the village.
They looked just like any human, the only exception was the fact that they all had glowing pupils, each having different colors and horns.
One of the demons, dressed in a black uniform and having beside him a sword yelled as he held a female elf in his hand.
Grabbing her by the hair he aimed his sword at her throat, "Who the hell are you?" The demon yelled.
The lady in the black dress threw the demon she was holding to the ground, leaving him to wail in pain before changing her focus to the demon in front of her.
She didn't utter anything, instead, she just kept walking toward the demon with black mist surrounding her body.
'What the hell is she? She took my guard out in less than a minute, are the elves having help now?' The demon thought to himself.
"Stand back!" He yelled, "Stand back or I'll slit her throat, right here and now!".
He pulled the female's hair up, leaving her to scream in pain as her legs dangled in the air.
But the black-dressed girl didn't stop, she continued her approach and was slowly increasing her speed.
That was until she heard a voice call out to her, "Enough reaper, come back." The voice said.
She suddenly turned to see Sato walking toward her and her frowned expression suddenly turned into a bashful one.
"M-master." She stammered as she watched him move closer to her.
"You evolved so quickly, you can leave the rest to me now." He said, patting her head as he walked past her.
She looked to the ground with her face beet red from the action before she glared at the demon Sato was heading to.
"Yo!" Sato voiced with his right hand raised.
"And who are you?" The demon asked.
"I'm just a traveler looking for a place to settle in today, you look well dressed, are you from the capital?" He asked with a smile.
"Tamrin Jiojo, i am an imperial knight of the Fiora kingdom, call the village chief out here, I'd like to have a word!" Tamrin yelled.
"The chief? I didn't know this village had a Chief." Sato uttered while looking around the village.
"The hell! You think I'm playing… I'll slit her throat right here, losing one elf wouldn't hurt" Tamrin said with a grin.
Behind him, two of his men had three other female elves that they've tied to the ground.
"Come now, don't go that far, I-." Sato smiled as he voiced in a soothing way but was interrupted.
"Shut up!" Tamrin used the side of his sword to push a bit deeper into the female's neck causing her to bleed a bit.
"Start… talking".
The sight of the female elf crying from the cut she got on her neck was slowly starting to build up rage in Sato.
He looked at Temrin with fury written in his eyes, "Oh but I think you misunderstood me." He uttered as he moved toward the demons.
"The chief you are looking for… is standing right in front of you!" He said with a smile, "Let go off the cupcake".
