Chapter 39 - Fire (2) (2/2)
An arrow flew past Jack and instantly caused a screaming noise to echo from a small building to the group's left.
”Hit.” Ben announced.
”MY WINGS!”

A hideous bat like monster appeared before the group, dripping with blood from its right wing. The demon looked at Ben with hungry eyes as it prepared to swoop at him.
Simon prepared his dagger and held it like a throwing knife, waiting for the perfect chance to obtain an instant kill. In this wait, he observed the surroundings in case of an ambush. While he knew that this area is just the edge of the city, he also knew that demons generally had better senses than humans.
'I hope we don't get spotted.'
”Everyone! Launch your attacks in unison! Target a different vital part if you can!” Simon shouted as he threw his dagger at the Demon's left eye.
”AAAGH!”
Another set of attacks landed on the demons as Liam threw his spear, Mark charged with his sword, James stabbed with his blade, Sienna projected ice, Michelle suppressed with her aura, Tyrone slashed with his longsword, Ben shot an arrow, Jack punched, and Samantha rushed.
Altogether, the battle ended quickly and messily. The coordination of the group was average, so everything ended up destroyed, at the very least, no one got hit by someone else. Such a thing would be really annoying for Simon to deal with since he didn't know anyone in the group that knew how to apply healing powers.
”Nup, everyone's fine, unlike this bat!” Liam laughed.
”Well that was really anticlimactic, I thought a tier 4 demon would be harder to kill.” James commented as he inspected the meat pile in front of him.
”Hahah... well, we will see some tier 6 demons at this rate! If there are tier 4 demons in the edges of the city, one can only expect for a much harder adversary deeper in.” Simon worriedly laughed.
”If we see a tier 6 demon, we'll hide.” Mark spoke up as searched the meat pile.
”Uhhh... but we just got detected by a tier 4... what makes you think we can hide from a tier 6?” Liam countered.
”Well, do you think we have any better options? The outer ring of the city has basically the least amount of shelter and cover available, tier 6 demons may be deadly, but so is getting eaten in your sleep.” Simon coldly remarked as he started walking towards the centre of the city.
”Near death experiences can forge better visionaries. Kills may not be a goal but they do have perks.” Simon said as he pulled a marble like object from his pocket.
”Demon core?!”
”Yep, it flew out from the once flying bat you just killed.”
”And remember, doesn't mean since you killed a 4th tier that a 5th tier is in your reach.”
