Chapter 14 - My favorite.

Still with his hand on my neck, he lifts me up. My feet no longer touch the ground, I can do nothing but struggle.

Belor - why is this ...? Why are you so desperate ..? Do you think I'm going to kill you?

He looked me in the eye while talking this bullshit, he was making fun of me.

Belor - I will not kill you ...

He dropped me and I fell on my side. My throat still hurt a lot, I could barely speak.

Belor - yes, how could I kill the person who will give me children?

Nothing could be done and I have done nothing so far. My friends are dead because of me, if I at least were stronger, then I could do something.

Emilia - what did you… * cof * just say… ?! * cof *

Belor - it was exactly what you just heard, child. You will serve as the mother of my children. Pure children like you are very difficult to find today, so you will give birth to my children.

Emilia - If you put a finger on me, I will rip your arm off.

Belor - wow, how aggressive. Okay, I'm going to enjoy wild acts with you, okay?

Emilia - You must be kidding me ...

I try to get up, but I am very worn out. My knees and back were hurting, yet I stand up.

My other sword must have fallen somewhere so I pull just one from my waist.

Belor - how sad ... A rebellious wife. Children, call Mama to fix this child.

The kids run out of sight.

Suddenly, the ground starts to shake. At first I thought it was an earthquake, but I was definitely wrong.

The ground starts to open, and a huge hand comes out of it leaning on a crooked tree.

And that monster ravine appears. His face was a bone structure shaped like a goat's head.

Its body was slimy and dark, huge tentacles in place of its legs.

As soon as I looked at the creature I was speechless, here it was really a demon.

I was definitely scared, there was nothing I could do but run.

I start running aimlessly through the forest.

All that came to mind were my companions, I still don't believe they died.

I looked back, and for some reason that demon didn't move.

  Until Belor starts to laugh. His laugh resembled that of a psychopath who wanted to play with his victim.

The demon started to chase me desperately, it looked like he was coming with the intention of killing.

His exaggeratedly disproportionate body, a small head, his legs that are tentacles are huge and his bigger arms still ended up making him hit the trees and scraping everything in his path. But that doesn't stop him from chasing me and he keeps chasing me.

Apparently, he even got tired of hitting the trees, now he is pushing the trees using the force in his huge arms.

He drooled while chasing me.

My body hurts, the more I run, the more it hurts. The more I run, the more it hurts.

Why am I running? Did I train to defeat these things and am I running away? I need to get this over with as soon as possible.

I turn my face back and that demon is gone.

I hide behind a tree. I crouch and start to cry.

Emilia - I'm scared ...!

I am beginning to realize that the forest had stopped making the sounds of falling trees. I stand up and look around.

I lean against the tree and hear a brief laugh.

I look up and that demon was hanging from the tree.

It goes down and falls right in front of me. He got even closer to me, to the point where I could already feel his breath.

He raised his hand, I'm sure, he wants to capture me and I'm here in fear.

When from heaven I hear a sound and a light.

A light passes over the monster, cutting off that demon's arm. The demon started to moan and struggle.

- GRRRRAAAAAHHH… !!!

The light had stopped right next to me. A red light with some details of yellow glow.

It was sanae, and that light was her strength magic.

Sanae - Emilia ..! It'll be okay, I'll get you out of here.

She holds her sword in its sheath at her waist and places me on her back. She starts running tirelessly aimlessly.

Sanae - everything will be fine, I just need to find rika and…

The devil appears from the sky and punches sanae, we are thrown.

I only had a few scratches, but sanae was much worse.

sanae hit her head, it makes her bleed, not only that, but it sure must be hurting because of that attack.

That woke me up, seeing my friend suffering for me ended up waking up something in me.

I stand up, there was something right in front of me, it was my sword that had fallen, the other one fell back there.

I pick up the sword from the ground and hobble, I head towards Sanae.

I reach out and touch her shoulder and look her in the face

Emilia - hey, hide. I take care of him..

Sanae - Are you crazy? You are not in a position to fight!

Emilia - I need to take a chance.

I look at the demon and that black dressed wizard appears beside that demon.

Belor - damn ... It shouldn't have been like that, I just wanted to get you pregnant. Make you the mother of my children. But you are so stubborn that wives like that deserve a lesson to learn to respect their owner.

Emilia - You are crazy ...! I'm going to kill you, idiot .. !!

Belor - kill me? Spare me, look around, so many bodies of novice hunters like you. Do you really think you can kill me?

He was not lying. Around me I see several bodies, all carrying a necklace that all hunters used to show their rank.

Each tree in this immense forest had at least 2 or 3 bodies stuck with a spear across the neck and nailing the tree.

I hear footsteps, they are coming from behind, calm and unhurried steps.

Belor - but what ..?

Rika appears, she was all drenched in water and stands in front of me and points her sword at Belor.

Rika - this time ... You don't escape me.

Belor - * Tisc * shit, don't you die?

Rika - I told you that I would find you. I will not allow you to hurt them.

Belor - I gave you two options, run or die. You choose to kill yourself, I saw you die. What did you do?!!

Rika - I have my secrets.

I look back again because Sanae was poking me.

Sanae - hey ... What are they ... * cough * talking about ... ...?

Emilia - I have no idea ...

Rika advances on Belor.

Belor pulls a magic wand from his sleeve.

He points his wand at Rika in movement and shouts:

Belor - << Hakai Hankei !! >>

A blossoming purple ray comes out of the wand towards Rika.

Rika throws her face aside and passes the sword over the beam.

Rika - raaargh .. !!

The lightning dissipates, what remains are the remains of purple lights going to the dark night sky.

Sanae - wow ...

Emília - wow ...

Rika does not stop and continues to advance in Belor.

For some reason the demons of Belor were immobile, apparently, they only move even according to Belor's orders.

Rika was already right in front of Belor.

Belor looked scared.

Rika passes the sword over his neck, but the sword is stuck in the middle of Belor's neck.

Rika - this time… No !! Raaaargh !!!

The red mana that covered Rika's body intensified, her aura and mana were insane, so much so that she ended up cutting her neck in beauty and her head went flying until she fell to the ground.

The mood was quiet.

Rika turns and looks at us with a smile on her face.

Rika - is everything okay now- ?!

I begin to feel a tremor, much more intense than when that demon appeared.

Sanae - no, he didn't die?

Rika - no ... * stares * his demons are still there, he is alive.

I look at Belor's head on the floor and it was gone, as if by magic.

Before anything, all you could hear was the voice of the belor.

Belor - << Sekai no hebi, saisho no sukēru !!! >>

His voice echoes through the forest and suddenly the tremor stops.

Emilia - I was sure that-

The floor opens right under us, we start to fall into that one in the ravine created by Belor.

I repeatedly hear a strange sound, something I have never heard before, it was completely different from the sounds I have heard, something was coming.

A gigantic white snake emerges from that dark void, swallowing the three of us.

Inside the snake, we could see our heroines safe and sound. Rika dug her sword into the snake's flesh.

Rika - I ... I don't know if I can take it anymore ... I ...!

Emilia - rika, please don't !!

Rika ends up dropping the sword, the three fall.

Falling into the serpent's intestinal void, it was the end.

Or it was meant to be.

Sanae uses her sword to pierce the snake, one hand holding the sword hilt and the other holding Rika's hand and Rika holding my hand.

It seemed to be all right, but it wasn't, the sword didn't stick, it slipped ... Or so I thought.

apparently, that was sanae's intention, she was using the weight of the three of us to cut the snake from the inside.

Rika's mana was disappearing, she took both of us and covered us with a hug.

All we heard was a crashing sound. The snake went to the ground.

I used my resistance magic to cover the three of us, that saved us.

We left the snake using the hole that sanae made in the snake. We left drenched in blood and Belor was waiting outside for us, accompanied by his demons.

Something tells me that the battle has not yet come to an end, we need to stand firm until the end.

To be continued…
