Chapter 146 - 135 (1/2)

At first, as I keep searching for the Demon King among the chaos of the battlefield, my nostrils just catch some odd burning smell, and fearing that there may be some fire demons among his army; which would render my army and Fire Shield useless; I look over and try to find the source of it.

Is not hard to find the source however when I glance backward for I see that one of the wounds in the sky is brighter than the others, the shadows deeper, and the contrast only increases as time goes and suddenly is turn out very bright and orange, almost as it set ablaze.

Then a creature starts to take form, stepping out of it, fangs in display, eyes ablaze as its insides, almost as if made of pure flames under that scaled skin, and a huge paw opening the wound in the air more so the rest of its body could step forward.

Then our eyes meet, my three versus his six eyes, and a full fang smile reaches our lips.

Well, I didn't expect our meeting to go like this, but I could not care less about the circ.u.mstances.

”Hunthor!!” ”Brother!!” We scream over the chaos at the same time, and for a moment I hesitate, wondering if this could not be a trick from the Demon King, until Hunthor, stretching his three big heads and showing off his Cerberus form, bites one of the spiders at one side and set a fan of fire with the other, only the head in the middle keeping a steady gaze at me as he gets closer.

And of course, beyond all the other 'unimportant' things happening around us, he jumps up at me, tongue out of his ablaze mouth, only to fall down right on top of me.

I mean at least try to fall on top of me for he would always be miles away from catching up with my speed, so I manage to simply dodge his attack with ease by sidestepping to the side.

I look over to him, raising my eyebrow, only to see his three heads pouting, ears down, with a look that a stray dog would have in the rain.

I roll my eyes at that, then laugh and jump up right at him, bumping our shoulders and pulling at his ears, rolling him down like we used to do when we were pups. Of course, however, that the demons around us do not find our scene moving, and instead used our distraction as an opportunity to attack, only to be slashed by my shadow without much of a thought from my part.

I have an all-seeing eye that gives me such advantage without giving away its abilities after all. Plus I wouldn't just let these low life get in the way of my family again.

Once I'm done bullyin-I mean, saying hi to my brother I step aside only for him to paw his way up and stand one more.

But I cannot overlook the fact that one of the heads has a chain around the neck and others around the paws, still hanging, with bruises around it from pulling at the chain for days, with enough strength to make it bleed.

I frown, anger building up even more in my core, but my brother bumps at my shoulder and brings my attention back up to his eyes once more.

We say nothing this time, taking in the presence of each other, and smile.

”How the hell did you get here? Are you hurt? Did they beat you? Are you hungry? Where you-” As the questions start boiling up and out of my mouth my worry increases with each word, only to be his time to roll his eyes at me.

”I'm fine, don't worry about it.” He says, trying to calm me down, but before I could keep worrying myself sick about him and asking a million questions I hear something coming out from the same wound as him, and as I look over I'm left in shock to see all the people who came to our aid; and I would even say a little emotional about it, but good thing hound faces are hard to read.

”Yo” Say Aeglos, a glint in his eyes that wasn't there before, bruises and blood smears ignored for how proud and relieved he feels by finally rescuing my brother and having him here, safe and sound, and alive I may add.
