Chapter 4

Boom!

The whole wagon exploded, producing a deafening sound that could break the eardrums.

The demons, who were laughing, were also swept out by the flames. Even the wagons around them were caught up in the air, making them fly back and forth.

“It’s done!”

Leticia jumped up.

My heart was pounding. I felt an indescribable thrilling feeling.

‘I did it!’

The power of butane gas was great. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the pack of impurities disappeared.

“Ack!”

“What’s this?! Please save me!!”

Screams were heard everywhere, followed by a disgusting smell of burnt flesh, which made me nauseous.

Even the imps, who was able to avoid the explosion, lost their mind when they saw the sight.

“A..a wizard?”

The imps looked at Leticia with a confused face.

She wasn’t a wizard. She is just a little girl that’s not worth your time to look at.

“What the hell did you do?”

Everyone was in shock and terror.

Then, Leticia came to her senses.

‘This is not the time to be like this!’

At the end of the wilderness, there was a way out.

She then took the road and ran away.

There must be someone out there. With such hope, she shouted with all her might.

“Please save me! There’s someone here!”

The child’s pitchy voice resounded through the wilderness.

“Get that girl!”

The rants of the imps followed.

‘I shouldn’t get caught, not like this.’

Everyone was chasing after her.

No matter how much she can run, she still has her limits.

On the other hand, the imps have good stamina and are very familiar with the topography of this place, making the distance narrow down.

“No!”

Leticia ran as fast as she could.

Running around while looking back and forth, she stumbled on a rock and stars glistened before her.

It wasn’t just a fall. She rolled down several times and got stuck on a tree branch.

“Ouch!”

She exclaimed as she felt another wave of pain. She knew she needed to get up and continue running. But when Leticia sprang to her feet, it was too late.

Before she knew it, the imps jumped off the slope and blocked her way.

The same goes for the way back. She’s completely surrounded by them.

She felt scared, but she knew that she shouldn’t give up so easily.

“D-Didn’t you just see that?”

Leticia clenched her teeth and shouted.

“If you don’t let me go, I’ll do it again!”

She heard them sneer at her.

“Then try it again!”

The imps giggled.

They’re intelligent. They knew that Leticia was empty-handed.

“Come here!”

Their yellow eyes glowed furiously, their black tongues fluttered, and their sticky saliva dripped from their mouth.

My head went blank.

“Come here!”

They stretched out their hands to grab Leticia’s hair.

It was at that moment.

Before they could get their hands on her, they heard a loud sound.

Boom!

A powerful tremor shook the ground. Whatever it was, a surge of water seemed to go down to the ground.

“Hmm?”

The imps looked in the direction of the sound.

Something popped out beyond the thick sand dust. A giant monster’s head was slowly rolling towards their way…

The blood-soaked head rolled down and stopped right where they were. As it turned to our direction, the face was revealed, and it seemed like it was horribly distorted by pain.

“What is this?!”

The imps shouted, frightened.

Who the hell killed this scary monster? And did you just throw this head off for a spectacle?

She looked beyond with a nervous look.

It was not long before that a person appeared in front of them.

Leticia breathed in, and for a moment, her heart stopped beating.

‘What the hell is that?’

The figure resembles a human being, but it didn’t seem like one. She couldn’t visibly see the face because of the black cloak it was wearing.

The devil has a black armor that was smeared with the blood of the monster. On one hand, he held a sword still dripping with blood. With that kind of appearance, he was exhaling breathtaking flesh.

“Argh!”

The imps screamed.

“I-I’m sorry!”

“Please save me! Please help me!”

As soon as they saw this demon, they were enveloped in terror.

She didn’t care about the situation she was in. Everyone ran away, leaving Leticia out. It was as if a mass of red smoke were disappearing rapidly.

This has confirmed it.

A creature that even demons would fear.

‘I really don’t know how lucky I am.’

Leticia was devastated.

Now, she has no energy to run away. Her legs gave out, and she just sat there.
