Savel, Dana, Fie and I were running nonstop. Mr. Savel was afraid that the True Beastman group would do the unthinkable in their panic, such as throwing the pregnant mother into the monster's fire just to save themselves. I wanted to believe that there's still some kindness left in their hearts, but Dana thinks it's unlikely. They kidnapped such a vulnerable group in the first place, so sacrificing a few for any reason is something they will do in a heartbeat.
It's getting hotter and hotter. The Devil King's flame can be clearly felt. I can even smell something burning from a distance, probably trees. Fie said that he could also smell the burnt carcasses of animals and monsters. It's terrifying. Whatever this monster is, it's not something to be taken lightly.
The sky is darkening as smoke rises from the forest and fills the sky, but more than that, it's the effect of the Devil King's mana. I can hear the sound of trees, animals, and even monster cries. Please save me. Please stop. Run away. This is it, this is the end. Hot. So hot. Hot. One by one, the sound gets louder and louder until it stops altogether.
"Sorry...Sorry... Sorry..." [Diana]
"What's wrong Diana... Why are you crying?" [Dana]
"The forest... The animal... They're being burned alive... and I can't do anything... I can hear them screaming for help, only for their voices to suddenly disappear... It's scary" [Diana].
"It's... It's okay. We'll figure something out" [Dana]
"Meow!" [Fie]
"Hang in there..." (That is really scary, it's understandable why she's crying) [Savel]
Dana tries to comfort me and it really helps. I'm glad she's here with me. Still, I should do what I can. I'm sorry for those who lose their lives, but I should start thinking about how to deal with the monster. Water, fire and earth magic should be enough. I should bury the monster with my earth magic, fill it with water magic, and use wind magic so that there's no air left for the monster to use as fuel. That's the only plan I can think of, and I hope it works.
"There they are! Stop right there!" [Savel]
Mr. Savel's sudden shout stops my train of thought as I see the True Beastman Group dragging the poor mothers. Some of them are bleeding from the head. Others have bruises on their left and right sides, even on their abdomens. They even threatened to cut the mother's belly.
"Don't you dare! Dragonic howl!" [Savel]
"I will not spare any of you!" [Dana]
Mr. Savel transforms and grows larger. With his icy howl filled with mirage mana to strike terror into the beastman, as the beastman stops, in a state of petrified. Eyes widened, sweat ran down their throats, like a rabbit facing the almighty dragon, knowing that death awaits. Dana quickly throws her Gungnir, this time not using her thunder spell so as not to accidentally hurt the mothers. One by one, she slashes the beastman's legs, then quickly disarms them before creating a safe distance between the beastman and the pregnant mother.
"Shield!" [Diana]
As for me, inspired by Head Knight Rentap of Emas, I used a shield spell just to make sure that the mother was safe. Seeing this, Savel and Diana smiled as they were sure that this group wouldn't be able to harm the mothers. As an extra precaution, Fie and I also stand guard.
Boom. The sound of something falling from the sky can be heard. We all look quickly in its direction, only to see a small wyvern with its rider. Dana recognizes it as the Empire's wyvern troop, and when we look up, we see three more of them, with the three wyverns in a state of panic. It must be because of the howl that Mr. Savel produced. That's so cool of him! I'm really amazed!
"Tchh... More trouble... Take... What the?" [Dana]
"Is this the monster you told us about?" [Savel]
"Pain... Pain... My sons... My daughters..." [Valerie]
It is... It's a lady covered in Devil King's fire. She screams in pain as the fire consumes her, but she quickly regenerates, and... THE THING!? I should have known! How can she be affected by THE THING and have the Devil King's fire mana? Why did the Empire's Wyvern Troop suddenly fall, or even come here at all? Are they aware of the lady here?
"That face... Hey, commoner! This is the little girl responsible for what happened in Emas! Because of her, your son was captured and then... Hehe... You know the rest".
The man who fell with the wyvern recognized me... How? And they also knew what happened to Emas... Why is he shouting like he wants to provoke the lady?
"Is it true... Little girl... Is it true!? You are there in Emas!? Did you help them take my son?" [Valerie]
She looks at me. Grief. Anger. Hate. Pain. Various emotions can be conveyed by her look alone, but most of all... It's sadness. I don't know why, but she's sad about something... I can't... I wanted to lie, maybe save us all by denying it. Maybe try to buy some time, but looking at her eyes filled with sadness, I can't...
"I... I was there... I helped them capture the Imperial soldiers in Emas". [Diana]
Hearing these words, she cried as suddenly, a burst of flame tried to engulf us all. It consumed the wyvern and its rider in an instant. It's hot! I'm glad the flame didn't reach us. Seeing this, Mr. Savel and Dana carry us all to safety. My reaction time is a bit slower, so I quickly help them as well, using a wind spell to carry us all, when I hear Fie meowing loudly. The lady is just there, crying and begging for it to stop...
"What happened to you..." [Diana]
Did I... Killed his son?
