53 Demon Royal Knigh (1/2)

Eventually, Dior backs off and stood behind Aelena. After a while, Aelena began to speak and said:

”Ahem. Well just as Dior said, the more people the better, so.....”

However, just as Aelena was about to finish her sentence, suddenly behind her, another party of 5 arrived.

”Heh, what a coincidence, I didn't expect the beautiful Princess Aelena would be here too,” said a man with black armor.

It appeared this man is the party leader, and his name is Rudo and he's someone from the Demon race. To be precise, he and Demos are part of the same group and they all work under Prince Eraga, one of the princes of DarkStar Kingdom.

However, unlike Demos who is just one of Prince Eraga's men, but Rudo is completely different because he is one of Prince Eraga's personal S-Rank Royal Knight.

”Hmm, someone from the Demon race?” Prime was a little surprised when he sensed dark energy coming from Rudo.

Looking closely at Rudo, Prime noticed Rudo's eyes are also red, just like him. However, unlike his pupil's eyes who is round shape like the human, but Rudo's eyes were looking more like reptile/demon eyes, meaning that the pupil eye is vertical shape.

”Y-You! Why are you here?!” said Aelena shockingly.

”Heh? Why not? Do I need to ask your permission if I go anywhere?” Rudo smiled.

”This is bad... how did they know I am here?” Aelena thought to herself worriedly.

”What do you want?” said Aelena as she knew Rudo is not someone that would come here by coincidence.

”Do you even need to ask that? Obviously to take you home of course. Do you think running away to the BlueStar Kingdom can save you? Just one word from Prince Eraga, even the Human King Xargon will gladly cooperate with us to catch you,” said Rudo.

”...” Aelena.

At the moment, Aelena was looking at her surroundings trying to think of a way to escape. Although she could fight them, but she know she's not strong enough and even her men can't protect her either.

”Hehe, thinking of running away again? Well, I suggest you not to do it because no matter what, it would be useless anyway,”

”Damn, these demon guys are pretty strong,” Prime thought to himself as he gazed at Rudo's party.

Everyone in Rudo's party is at least high level S-Class, while the people in Aelena's party are only mid level S-Class at most. So just by looking at it, Prime already knows that Aelena's party doesn't stand a chance.

”What should we do Aelena-sama?” said an elf magician girl worriedly.

”We..... we can't fight them, so let's just surrender,” Aelena sighed disappointingly.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

”Hahaha! A wise choice indeed, it seems like you're smarter than I thought you would be,” Rudo low key praised Aelena.

”Alright, tie them up and let's get out of here,” said Rudo to his men.

”Yes, boss!”

Seeing that, Aelena yelled and said:

”Stop! Don't do it!”

”You demon bastard! Die!” yelled Dior furiously as he was aiming at Rudo's heart area.

Since Rudo was too relax and let his guard down, so Dior thought this might be a great opportunity for him to sneak attack. Although Dior doesn't know if it will work or not, but he doesn't care as he will do anything to protect the princess even at the cost of his own life.

It was at this moment, Rudo suddenly turns around at lightning speed and stopped Dior's sword with just his two fingers.

”What!?” Dior was surprised.

”You think with your current strength you can hurt me?” said Rudo coldly as he stared Dior in the eyes.

After that, Rudo then punched Dior in the stomach hard, which caused Dior's armor to be broken completely.

Puwa!

Dior puke out a lot of blood. Luckily, his armor protected him from that attack earlier, otherwise he would have been dead by now already.

”Hehe,” said Rudo as he grabbed on Dior's hair aggressively.

”Hmm, let's see, I wonder how should I torture you? Because killing you right away wouldn't be so fun right? Well, let's start off by dismembering both of your arms first as punishment,” smiled Rudo evilly.

”Sorry, Aelena-sama, looks like I can't keep to my promise to protect you after all,” said Dior as he looked at Aelena in the eyes regretfully.

Dior is actually Aelena's personal Royal Knight, and he's considered pretty strong by the human race standards. But unfortunately, he's still no match against a Royal Demon Knight like Rudo.
