Scarlet
Even as I fight the monsters, often tis getting wounded, the girl just continues watching with a wide grin on her face respecting my desire to take them on myself. And more importantly, not lose the EXP theyd give .
But I do notice over ti that she seems to be growing a little bit more respectful in her posture, likely due to seeing in action personally. And eventually she even stops following , staying only at the entryways of each floor to make sure that no other demons enter the floor. Specifically ones that she believes I wouldnt be able to handle.
At the sa ti, I hear her enter a call with the others.
Yeah, shes quite powerful for a newbie, Alex says, a hint of surprise and respect in her tone that wasnt there when she was talking to . Shes taking out entire floors of level twenty and above demons down here on what should only be her third Fracture, I believe?
Yes, its her third, Bridget responds, no surprise in her voice as if she had already assud I was this strong.
Surprisingly, Zachary actually stays silent this ti. Probably because he knows Im likely listening in on them and doesnt want to say anything to tick off. Which if thats the case is smart.
My thoughts blank as I hear the sound of sothing smashing into sothing else on the floor above , followed by yelling, the sound of sothing akin to glass shattering, and then footsteps. Two sets of them. One heavy and sounding like they belong to a knight, and the other the light footsteps of a human.
I stop walking down the hallway I was going through for a second to focus on the noises. By the sounds of it, so demon knight is chasing soone down the halls of the floor above . Which doesnt really make much sense unless that soone took whatever it was the demon knight was guarding. Because the knight shouldve been stationed as sothings bodyguard, and who would be stupid enough to do that? Especially as a regular-
A thick sword suddenly slices through the ceiling of the hallway, following which the entire ceiling begins to cave in, making jump backwards in surprise. Then I watch as both a demon knight and a Guardian? What?
I blink in surprise as I stare at the kid who looks to only be about fifteen or sixteen years old falling from the ceiling while scrambling in the air. He is wearing expensive clothing just like basically everyone else in this building and has a very silky looking tail of a nice silver color.
After a second, I jump through the air and catch the kid before landing on my feet a few ters away from where the demon knight lands. Then I turn around again to check out the knights level.
|Demon Knight Subspecies: None Level 30|
Uh, okay Im not sure if I can take that. Maybe?
I narrow my eyes as the creature slowly tries to climb to its feet before I decide to go store the kid soplace safe first. So I run down the hall, very much wishing I had so stacks of blood thirst built up right now. But that skill has beco a lot less useful since reaching demons who are at the sa level as . Seeing as I cant just mass kill them all and get the stacks built up.
As I run, I glance down at the kid to find him blushing rather hard, which also makes realize that despite calling him a kid, hes actually taller than . Which probably makes this awkward for him, being held in whats basically a princess carry. But apparently Im easily strong enough now to lift him up, so who cares about his dignity.
After a few seconds of running, I turn the corner, open a door, and toss him inside onto a large bed where he lets out a yelp before I slam the door shut and go back to the demon knight. Who I quickly find turning the corner, so I duck under him before activating and swiping my claws across its shin, only for them to barely even scratch the surface.
Hmm. Yeah, thats not going to work.
Ti for plan B.
The creature having missed with its strike and instead slamming its sword into the wall which it is currently trying to get it out of lets out a simple grunt when I start using both blood boil and life drain on it, following which I repeatedly tear streaks across its body with my claws. And even after it manages to free its sword from the wall, it doesnt manage to do much as the sword is way too big for this hallway, making grin wide in excitent.
Our little ga continues on for several minutes until I see the kid who I should probably stop calling that, considering he only looks to be about four or five years younger than poking his head out of the room. This imdiately gets the attention of the demon knight who directs its gaze towards him the mont he enters its vision.
Yeah, he definitely has the knights charge.
Either way though, I use the knights distraction to tear my claws straight across its back, in a place Ive already done so a few tis before. This finally makes a crack in the scales instead of just the scratches its been making, and I further that crack by slamming my other fist into it, knocking the knight a step forward as it stumbles.
Then the thing just tightens its grip on its sword, climbs to its feet again, and begins charging after the boy like Im nothing more than air.
Seriously? I shout, not really used to the demons just ignoring like this.
Before I can actually get irritated though, I notice the completely wide open back of the demon knight and my grin returns.
Maybe its not a bad thing to be ignored like this.
