Chasing the famous Demon Prince

Chapter 5-2

It was my fault that my brain was occupied by what I was trying to get rid of Lyford's brother yesterday? That's the reason why I didn't think it was ok?

But I can't tell her that, she might tread on me when she found out I had a bath yesterday. I was turned to Princess Lamia.

She was looking at her brother walking away, she had a sad expression too. What a meron? His brother didn't answer him earlier.

Perhaps they are on bad terms with each other? It didn't seem like what I saw yesterday, maybe I'm just overthink.

"Princess are you ok? You looked uhm... sad."He seemed to be up to date with what I said and immediately turned to him.

"Ah nothing! Let's go? we might be left behind."After he said that we had already walked to where we were going.

This place is still unknown for me, we haven't been here yet. Looking around, it looks like this place has not been explored.

So it's true that this place has never been raid, I thought my brother just joked. We walked for a few minutes but others started to complain.

Maybe because they have never walked this far, some of these students with blessings are spoiled so undersdandable that many complain.

So is Nyphe, probably ahead? Knowing that girl, she prefers to gather information about this place.

She"s still competitive, actually she keeps on beating me on anything. Case complaining that I didn't daw seriously when we spar.

Well I'm not competitive, I'm ok with what position I am. Map first, second, third. I don't mind loing.

I was competitive once, especially with my brother. Then everyone started having high expectation, they gave me high praises. Case that one time I failed on something.

They started judging me, it was just a mistake/failure. But they can speak as if I were a failure.

Obviously they are waiting for me to make a mistake. So it's better not to expections whatsoever, it's also pressure at times.

We saw the students ahead of us, maybe because we were here.

Because Princess Lamia was still in front of us, she couldn't see what was ahead.

Why do you want to? Some of them are first years yet but why not? The unfair ha? What did they drink so they could walk like this?

"By the way princess, what grade are you in?"I was trying to ease my mood. He was hit by a head. "You see the same age as your brother."

Atsaka I also asked her non, "Oh I"m a 4th year... and I"m umm... Prince Lyford"s step sister."

I'm surprised "Ah sorry I didn"t mean to — "

"It's just Lady Dethyria, I am just the step sister of Prince Lyford. That's not secret but it's an avoided topic of demons."He cut off what I said.

"My brother doesn"t like rumors roaming around about our family so avoiding that topic to us. Maybe that's also the reason why you have no news."

Ah so I don't know that, but it's Lyford a little called on his little sister? I mean my brother too.

But at least we have a bond. I would have asked Princess Lamia again in case of strong signal.

What is that? "It looks like the hunt is about to start."

My eyes widened and Princess Lamia pulled forward. We were so good and the two were so easy to reach.

I saw Nyphe talking to Prince Lyford. I would like to call Nyphe case I forgot that we have many students included.

So, we just casually walked towards their direction, Prince Lyford seemed to notice that we were coming.

So he casually waved and Nyphele, maybe ahead of the cave. Nyphe turned around after not at the same height. "What do you need?"

"I wanna bet! When you win, I would treat your meals the whole month."My grin. She sighed and asked...

"And If I lose?"

"You will know if you lose."He gave me 'you"re-suspicious-look".

"Isn"t this unfair? Why can't I know your rewards when you win?"Nyphele complained.

There is only one thing to do. "I will give you and your cat a whole meal for a month."

"Deal."

REMEMBER! THE PAIR WITH THE MOST KILLS WINS THIS RAID HUNT!"Headmaster Ares said aloud.

"There are the best pair wins. But you are in a disadvantage since I was one of the best hunter demons?"

I was stuck with what Nyphe said... "Wait! I just said who has more kills than the two of us will win!"

"I don"t say that by pair the-"

"This is a 'by pair' hunt so what a fill of the prince will be mine too. So good luck! You will never recover this deal."

He awoke at once to enter the cave. Haysss often just make a bet eh palpak.

What is that Dethyria- "Lady Dethyria, that is? others are starting."I was turned to Princess Lamia who had been waiting for me.

I nodded and we went to the cave together. Apparently there are many holes in the cave and there is also a lot of way, seeing this...

It looks like a lot of corrupted species go here, corrupted species passes through walls and melts the walls when they have passed it.

They couldn't get to our town because there was a magic barrier that prevented them from entering.

There were students who started entering the big holes, so Princess Lamia and I entered.

While we were walking inside the cave, Princess Lamia saw us as a big hole heading downstairs.

"This hole leads to the underground."Princess Lamia commented and I agreed, first I jumped down to look around.

As expected very underground. Yung in the cave eh super small but underground, super big.

I think this underground can fit a house? Mansion? Just so big and so underground, this is the first time I've seen something like this.

In all my hunts, this hunting cave has the biggest terrain. "Why so bad here? Did the corrupted species dig this big and wide?"

Though the corrupted species are small, they move quickly and sometimes they stick to the walls. Which of course melts the wall...

So far we have never seen an enemy in the underground. Which is really suspicious of the hunt, being in the underground kana because... many are attacking right away.

Hays, how can I win my bet if nothing else comes out of this corrupted species? I'm sure Nyphe already killed tons.

That's still very good on the hunt. She usually runs during hunts and casually slashes the corrupted species in the weapon she uses as if nothing.

We didn't really see one, so nagdecide we just walked in the deepest parts. For some reason, the undergound is bright.

No lights whatsoever but still bright and super quiet around.

You just have to be quiet for a hunt, don't distract yourself from talking and get caught off guard because that's the reason you're dying.

"Lady Dethyria, I heard small noises."Princess Lamia whispered to me, I nodded at once outside my blessing.

Doubles knives, she pointed where the noise came from so I was ready to go there. As I approached don I saw a little slime...?

Slime? Yung slime eh just lying on the floor but it was shaped like a human. But very slimy look.

What is this? First time I saw this incident, but nonetheless I stabbed it anyways. He didn't fight.

It also disappeared immediately like a corrupted specie. After it disappeared, Princess and I had eyes widened.

b-bones? Skeletal bones?! Come on? Did that slime eat anything? "Wh-what is that?"Asked Princess Lamia.

The flesh is all gone but blood and bone are left. New species to corrupted species? But corrupted species devours everything?

"undiscovered species? He was easy to kill but was able to eat the whole body."Commented Lamia commented.

"Have any of our students eaten? But this bone looks like from an adult, not to mention it's a..." demon, with a horn because. But why just one?

"We don"t know who this is, should we tell the teachers about this? It's dangerous if a student can encounter it."

I nod to Princess's sugestion. "Ok, I will stay here to guard this case will happen again."I replied.

So according to that, Princess Lamia left quickly. I'm sure she can protect herself despite having that kind of blessing.

I mean, princess so she and she didn't disagree with my suggestion. I crouched down and continued observing the body.

Someone else can come here? From the demon race? Case this person only has one horn, is there a demon with a horn?

As I was interrupting, I noticed that his horn had been broken. Weird, as I read about the horn of demons.

Nothing can cut through their horns, like nothing really. So what happened to this person? I sighed my eyes to one side the saw something shining.

"Huh? A mix?"I stood up and went for the shiny looking thing that looked like a mix. I picked it up and the halo was broken. "What-"

I would have said in case I heard a noise. I immmediately summoned a weapon at the same time around.

I saw what shadow so I ran closer there, it was probably a corrupted specie. The shadow disappeared, looking to run away.

Does corrupted species run away? They may not be running away? But, I continued to chase the shadow-

"Eek!"I hear the shadow screamed... teak, screamed? Do the corrupted species scream? I summoned another weapon. A circular blade.

"Chase that person!"I cried out to my weapon and obeyed my command.

"HOY! DON'T RUN! AND FIGHT ME!"I cried out loud, who care if those species heard me? So I have them all!

Atsaka very much a hindrance to the dress, I can't even run properly?! I summoned a knife and ripped my dress off.

I also removed my school shoes with heels because I had a hard time running because of it.

If Nyphe was here, she would have been provided by a proper outfit. Haysss I missed my human bag, but oops better not to let her hear my thoughts.

Maybe he'll step on me? I continued running and ended up in a maze? Huh? The cave walls changed.

She is no longer the brown walls, it became darker. I'm fine? I didn't notice where I was running.

Even though I was a weapon he didn't even chase after that person. Back to the circular blades to me, "Good Job."I said back to my weapon.

It landed in my hand and disappeared. I treated my weapons as friends, as if they were alive because they obeyed my command.

Tsk, I'm sure it's not a student. Why would they run from me?

I was holding my face, I'm not that scary maybe diba? I'm not as scared as Nyphe?

I was too head-on at the same time, sh*t! I'm watching over! I immediately ran back.

But the walls are still not familiar, it's not the way back. Atsaka why is the way beginning to become small?

I grabbed the roof, no holes or what was here. The way is also straight, as if I were in a mini tunnel.

It's still clear, teak where does this light thing came from? There is no day here.

I squinted my eyes at the same time punching the roof and rocks began to fell. I took it once and observed it.

Huh? The fallen stones were supposed to be out of color or should I say... light? So the light is from the wall?

The wall didn't reek magic so how does it shine? It was my first time encountering this. I ignored it before because I thought it was just magic and casually goes away.

But as we moved deeper earlier, the light is still there. I was shrugged, I wanted to collect it for study.

Case I don't have a bag... I really need Nyphe right now. He's the one who stores things I study.

That's angry because he's full of daw yung storage because of the things I take. Whatever, we'll be back here, too.

I would have walked away but when I took a first step forward, a large hole formed... and "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I cry out loud, a trap!? I immediately pulled out my wing to fly but ... MY WING"S NOT WORKING! WHY!?

DAFUQ?! What's happening!? Why doesn't my wing work, I balance myself using my wings down. Well at least this can help me slow down the pace for the painless fall- "ARAY!"

My eyes widened because suddenly there was a sigh of relief, that's right. Someone shot me with an arrow! So I lost balance.

Not to mention that hurts. Literally hit the center of my wing and it started bleeding. Mygod! Where did that came from, DETHYRIA THINK!

I didn't look down, but I sense very dangerous on the chin. I'd be dead if I didn't do anything. So I was intrigued.

For some reason I saw a big hole. It was as a door, maybe I could get there.

I summoned a rope and shouted. "GRAB SOMETHING TO HOLD ON!"it flew back to the big hole.

When I was feel with my rope attached I immediately pulled it off so I wouldn't die. But for some reason...

The object where my rope holds on budged and carried to my haul. Dahek?! I can't be heavy!? I'm not fat?!

Did the object broke because it was heavy? I saw someone who was also down, my rope was attached to that person...

"PRINCE LYFORD!?!"my question was shocking, so my object was not approached? I was expecting large rocks or crystals but... I did not accept a person!?

To be continued...
