44 A New Demon King is Born 2 (2/2)
”What just happened to you? I am referring to that light that has made you smaller!”Asked Rainer confused.
”The bracelet and myself become one after the artifact's creation, having lost all its strength, I have also been weakened...”
”To recover my 'virile' form, you will have to tithe a few human-filled cities! Make yourself stronger and recover the strength of Irkalia's Bracelet, my Demon King!”Xarcas began to encourage Rainer.
”That's impossible...” He replied.
”Why is it impossible, my Demon King? We are the most powerful army!”
”You mean you were the most powerful, besides, the war ended a long time ago, a peace agreement was signed and we are no longer at war...”
”...”
”...”
”Then, could not you... ”Xarcas was interrupted by Rainer's shout.
”I'm not going to start a war!
...
After a night of dangers, the dawn came to illuminate the lives of all those who managed to survive one more night.
”Nn...!”
Liann released a growl of pain as she recovered her consciousness.
”Are you all right?” Asked Alisha with a soft voice by her side.
”Yes, I feel like I'm about to die from the pain, but I'll survive...” Liann replied as she made her typical sarcastic smile.
”You almost died, you idiot!”Rainer's voice came from the woods, he returned with a freshly hunted deer on his shoulder.
”The Demon King's wife has woken up!”Xarcas jumped over the deer's corpse showing his happiness for Rainer.
”What you just called her, you stupid monkey!” Fury filled Alisha's eyes as he grabbed Xarcas and strangled him.
Guuuuh!
”A true fiend! The demon king's executioner is attacking me!”
”...”
Rainer and Liann didn't know how to react to such a comical scene.
”I should be....”
”Dead, right?” Responded Rainer without letting Liann finish speaking.
”Yes... ”She replied.
”I removed the seal from the bracelet and released the spirits within it, after being released, they had no reason to kill you, so they left.” Said Rainer indifferently as he wagged the onyx bracelet on his left wrist.
”...!”
Liann was surprised, other than the first Demon King, no one had controlled the Irkalia' s Bracelet and in the face of such power, Rainer decided to ignore it to save her life!
A slight blush appeared on Liann's cheeks while she used her dark hair to cover her face.
”Tha-Thank you!”Liann looked like a little girl showing her appreciation to Rainer.
”Don't worry, furthermore, without you, we can''t continue our journey!
...
After finishing the last preparations, Rainer and the group started their way again to the Demon Country.
