26 Demons In Human Skin Part One (1/2)

Berlin who was watching Alicia as she fought demonic beasts took out his mirror to contact Charles. ”Your Majesty!”

”Did you set up what I asked you to set up?” Berlin asked.

”Yes, your Majesty! There are over five thousand altogether. They were locked into a paralysis barrier so that they could not move, then another barrier was erected around them in order to prevent them from being killed by demonic beasts.” Charles answered.

”Did you give them the conditions?” Berlin had put a lot of thought into this training. This training was not easy to undertake. He had upscaled this training from beginner straight to elite and now the last part would be the elite of the elite type training.

”Yes, Your Majesty… I told them as long as they could kill the blonde headed little girl who tries to take the scroll they could all be released. But your Majesty, what if she fails?” Charles was a bit worried since they were not easy to deal with. Each one had been imprisoned but it took many squads of knights to capture and bring them in.

”Do not worry. She will be fine. I am sure of it.” Without waiting for Charles to say another word, Berlin watched as Alicia killed the last demonic beast.

Alicia wiped the sweat off her forehead as she looked around her surroundings. ”I think that was the last one. Loeri, Frey, you two okay?”

”Hehehehe! Mother, that was fun, we went... Wooosh! Whaaaaam! WAZOOOO! WEEEE!” Frey was making all kinds of sound effects as she tried her best to inmate Alicia's movements.

”I am fine as well Alicia. You did a great job. Let's hope that is the last wave.” Loeri said as she sighed.

”I have a feeling something much worse is about to befall us. Master Berlin likes to do things in phases. Starting with not too hard, too hard, and then ending with extreme. So I expect we will be getting something much, much, worse than this soon. So Loeri, keep an eye out not only for demonic beasts but other things as well. This means humans too.” Alicia had an idea what would be happening, she just did not know to what extent just yet.

A month passed and Alicia finally made it to the outer edge of the center of the Demonic Forest. This was the area where once she stepped foot inside she had to be even more cautious and careful than ever before.

As soon as she stepped foot over the line that was considered the middle of the forest Alicia quickly leaned back causing both Loeri and Frey to have to hold on for dear life. A 'zeeee' sound could be heard as five arrows based overhead embedding themselves into the tree trunk behind them. Alicia quickly spread a protective barrier on both Loeri and Frey as well as herself and took out her sword.

”Lorei are they human?” Alicia asked.
