9 A Brand New World (2/2)

In front of her, she saw another corpse, only this one was clearly from her side. It was a werewolf, probably one that was right in front of her. His fur turned black and half of his body was missing. The chances of surviving this ordeal were clearly low. After reaching the crater that was formed by what brought her here, she saw a good news. An Akûl was laying on the ground. They were one of the strongest demons and with their thick skin, he should probably have survived. As she approached, she took notice of the arm not attached to the body.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG

The Akûl howled in pain and began to use his three other arms to stop the bleeding of the fourth. He only woke up to find his entire body in pain. He was bleeding purple from all his body, not even a single part of his armor managed to resist the transport. As he kept rolling on the ground in pain, he noticed the frail girl looking at him. Blinded for a second, he began to pounce on her, only to notice the darkness leaking from her wounds. Just in time, he suppressed his feelings and kneeled in front of her.

”GAAARG Ymir, reporting to the Empress!”

Even the intense pain was suppressed by the terror that was rising inside him as he realized that he nearly attack Leilade. If he really had gone through, an eternity of pain would have awaited him for even death would not have him set free. He still didn't know that she was far weaker than him.

”Rise Ymir, and pick up your arm. We are in enemy territory and we need to heal our wounds. We have a lot of …”

Brush Brush

Soon, two silhouettes appeared at the edge of the forest. Two weird looking humans, one was entirely blue while the other bore some fur on him. Both were very tall, near three meters for the blue man and a little more than 2.50 meters for the ferocious looking male. None of them was in a better state than Ymir, besides the fact that they hadn't lost a limb. From the opposite side, a wounded woman was slowly walking. She clearly was more impacted by her injuries than the rest. They all heard and recognized the shout of a demon, prompting them to reach this location. By now, they all stood side by side with the three armed demon, pledging their loyalty to their superior.

”Davion, reporting to the Empress!” The tallest human shouted.

”Kardel, reporting to the Empress!” The savage human screamed.

”Meridiana, reporting … ouch … to the Empress.” The woman softly said.
