Chapter 40: Battle in the Mountain of the Dead 3

The rolling waves of scream and slaughter surrounded Cecily. But she just kneeled there like an idiot. Her tears wouldn't stop flowing.

"Ah. .. ah. . ." She forgot how to speak as she was overcome with anguish. Her mind was overflowing with the times she spent with Murok. The kind old man who taught her so much. Who became an existence to her that she couldn't bear to be apart.

Cecily shook her head. "No. .. no. . ."

She refused to believe that Murok was dead. He had been with her since she was young! How could he leave her now?

She never felt so alone and helpless as she did now. She was always confident because she had Murok's support. He always had her back.

She had her family, but they were more strangers to her than family. Dozla and Murok were the only families she ever knew. And now. .. the two of them left her.

Cecily's shoulders raked, and she wailed and sobbed to the sky.

THuD!

The sky disappeared, and the monster loomed over her. But Cecily couldn't be bothered to feel anything. She was too exhausted.

Maybe I should just. .. join them.

The three faces of the monsters smiled in a perverted grin. Its beast hand and claws grabbed Cecily and raised her in the air. Its enormous jaws opened wide as if to swallow her.

"Cecily!"

Cecily didn't respond until Ryu appeared beside the monsters and kicked it to the side. The kick seemed weak, but when it hit, the monster was sent flying hundreds of meters, and Cecily was flung away towards a cliff.

"Cecily!"

Without caring if she lived or die, Cecily's eyes went to Ryu's panic-stricken face.

Agh. .. how pointless. She thought before Ryu grabbed and embraced her as they fell into the depth of the ravine.

"Ryu!" At this moment, Ferris didn't know what's happening. The moment she came rushing to where he was, Ryu and Cecily were falling off a cliff.

"No!" Ferris screamed, and her wings burst from her back, not minding that she was in her human form.

But before she could rescue Ryu, the monster barged her path. Her wings change her course, but the monster was quick despite its massive body. It managed to clamp her calves and tore her leg.

Ferris flew away a hundred meters from the cliff and landed on the ground with her leg regenerating as fast as it could.

"Damn it!" It looked like the monster wouldn't let her escaped based on the saliva pooling in its mouth after it tasted her flesh.

"Ferris!"

Ferris shot Agatha a look. What remained of the beautiful demoness was only her upper body. Her waist down was gone, and she was disappearing into particles at an alarmingly fast rate.

"Help me!" Agatha hissed, eyes rounded in desperation. "I'm sure you and I can break this seal! Concentrate your mana on me!"

"Fuck off!" Ferris yelled.

Agatha was so angry that her fangs came out. "You owe me that much! I saved you!"

Veins popped in Ferris's head, and she looked at Agatha with dilated crimson eyes. Her child-like voice turned deep, and her skin ripped apart, giving way to a demon goddess.

"I don't owe you anything. I could have just killed you all." Ferris's slithery voice wrapped Agatha in terror as multiple horns forming a crown grew on Ferris's head.

"You just delayed the inevitable."

Ferris swiped her nails in a straight cut, and Agatha's head rolled on the ground.

"Begone."

Agatha's eyes were wide in fright before she burst into dark particles of mana. Her soul shattered into oblivion as the seal broke.

Ferris gazed at her surroundings as her shadows formed armors on her body. Upon her arrival, the monster's attention was glued to her.

Meanwhile, there were some soldiers and mercs left, eying her with hope in their eyes. They must have mistaken the servant seal between her breasts as an ally.

Have they not saw what she did to Agatha? Maybe she had to kill one of them.

"F-Ferris? You're Ferris, right?"

Ferris's scarlet demon eyes flicked at Clemente's puke-covered face.

Clemente sighed in relief, but her tears didn't stop flowing. She thought she was dead because she couldn't outrun the monster. It was picking them one by one.

But then Ferris arrived in full demon form and with multiple horns at that. Clemente almost peed in relief. As expected of the Princess's servant. "Y-you should be careful. That monster is strong. I will support you in the ba"

With a casual twist of her wrist, Ferris carved chunks of flesh from Clemente's body. When she was finished, Clemente was nothing more than carved slabs of meat as her corpse toppled on the ground.

All the remaining soldiers and mercenaries gasps, their faces ghastly and they run for their lives.

Like Ferris would allow them to escape after seeing her demon form. Her multiple raven-like wings swung from her back, and the force ripped and tore everything present within hundred meters.

The screaming soldiers and mercenaries dropped dead on the ground. The cut was so clean and sharp that blood burst after seconds. Flesh and muscles still pumping from their dissected limbs.

The monster avoided the attack, and Ferris caught a flash of cruel smile, which provoke unease before it launched at her with ruthless abandon.

"Hmp!" Ferris sneered. "A monster that knows no fear." She cracked her knuckles. She recognized that terrible affliction of bloodlust that wracked her veins.

"Perfect!" Ferris grinned and licked her fangs. A worthy opponent to release the pressure of her inner demons.

Transforming into a black blur, Ferris smashed directly into the monster and attacked it with the onslaught of punches and kicks.

The air split, and the surrounding trees shattered at Ferris's speed and force. Even though the monster's defense was high, it was still sent slamming on the ground by the blow.

Her body turned into a blur, Ferris appeared in front of the monster as her swift, barraged of strikes unfolded her foe's defense. The monster's speed and its power couldn't even contend with hers as it laid flat on the dirt.

It was not like the monster couldn't defend nor attack, but every time it did, Ferris canceled its attack with just her mere limbs. It was like she grew hundreds of arms and legs that the monster couldn't even move. It was overwhelmed by Ferris's brutal strikes.

The power that struck its massive body was like a meteor descending rapidly, and large cracks formed on the ground as their body sunk on the crevice they formed.

The monster's body trembled. If this kept up, its defense would break, and it would turn into a paste.

A shriek so loud vibrated from the monster, and Ferris was knocked into the air by the vibration it made. She regained her momentum using her wings as she eyed the monster in caution.

The monster's body was twisting and warping. Its massive flesh rippled like it was about to burst.

Ferris dilated eyes drew a slit when the monster transformed into Asad with six eyes, six hands, and three longhorns on his head.

"Finally," Asad said under his breathe. "That took longer to absorb than expected."

Ferris observed the demon with three horns. It made no intention to conceal its frightening nature, and she found herself the focus of its baleful intent that sought her end.

Asad's six eyes circled around and around before it settled at Ferris, and Gawtar appeared in his hand. "Time for round two. Shall we?"
