Demonic Forces Arc
Chapter 13: The Bug Twins
Reyla looked around at where she was. There were countless caves all around.
"Damn it. How am I supposed to find the others with all these damn caves? Not to mention, who knowns what kind of Demons could be lurking," she said to herself.
"Look brother, a tasty mortal," said a female voice from somewhere.
"Indeed sister, Sky Elves have always had a great taste," said a male voice.
Reyla couldn't pinpoint where the voices were coming from for they echoed all around her. She constantly scanned around and had her sword drawn. She looked around and backed against a wall. She was hit in the head by something wet. She looked up to see a spider woman on the wall above her drooling. Reyla was startled and backed away from the wall. The spider woman jumped off the wall and stepped forward and Reyla stepped back. As Reyla stepped back, she bumped into something. She looked to see what it was and it was a giant centipede creature. Reyla stepped away from the monstrous bug and stood between the two Demons. She thought to herself;
'Fuck. I'm cornered between these two bugs who want to have me for lunch.'
The spider attacked first. Reyla dove to the side and tried to run but was cut off by the centipede. She dove to another side only to be cut off by the spider. Reyla used her magic to try and boost her way out. The spider shot a web and Reyla was caught in it.
"Shit! I'm stuck!" Reyla cried.
"The more you struggle, the harder it is to escape little mortal," said the spider.
The spider proceeded to wrap up Reyla in web. She then dropped Reyla onto the ground.
"Now it time for us to feed."
The spider licked her lips and was just about to eat Reyla when suddenly, Rezo dropped in front of the spider.
"Who the…," but before the spider could finish her sentence, Rezo punched her in the gut, making the Demon explode in guts. Rezo's face had a serious look as the spider's guts landed all over him. His face then changed to disgust.
"Ew! Gross! Why do Demon's explode when I punch them! Gods it's going to take me two, no, THREE days for me to get this out!" Rezo cried.
"Jorogumo! No!" cried out the centipede.
"So disgusting!" Rezo continued to freak.
The centipede looked at Rezo.
"Do you think this is a joke mortal?" the centipede said harshly.
"Well getting Demon guts off of you is no laughing matter," Rezo retorted.
"You think nothing of us?! I am War Captain Omukade! One of the strongest War Captains! I should not be taken lightly!"
Rezo went serious but then smirked.
"You know," he said "you aren't the first War Captain I've fought. In fact, I'm almost glad to see that some of you bastards survived all these years. But, when you mess with someone from my family, especially my daughter, then I will not show you mercy."
Reyla looked at her father. He was dead serious about everything he just said. Rezo took off his coat. Reyla knew things were serious now.
Rezo stared down the Demon. Omukade crawled around the room. Rezo ran up to punch the monster but Omukade hardened his skin. Omukade laughed.
"Foolish mortal!" You think you can crack my skin?!" Omukade bragged.
"You know you War Captains talk too much," Rezo retorted.
The centipede started hacking away at Rezo with his many legs. Rezo held up his arms and created a magic barrier to protect him from the attack. Had he had not placed it, the attack would've torn him to shreds. Omukade then appeared above Rezo. He moved out of the way just as Omukade crashed down onto where he was just at. Rezo studied the centipede, looking for weak spots in the Demon's armor. Omukade made an advance but before Rezo could react, the War Captain surrounded Rezo with its massive body. It moved closer and closer in an attempt to crush Rezo. He knew he needed to find the weak spot and fast. Rezo studied the armor and saw that there was no weak spot but he had an idea. Rezo engulfed his hands in flames and waited for the opportunity. The Demon continued to crawl around him. As the Demon approached, Rezo readied a fist. The monster got close enough and Rezo seized his opportunity. Rezo punched the Demon with a massive flame fist and it managed to shatter and melt away the armor. Rezo looked surprised.
"Huh. That actually worked," Rezo said.
"What?! My indestructible shell was destroyed by a mere mortal?! How?!" Omukade cried out.
Rezo then punched the centipede again basically splitting the Demon in two. Omukade screamed in pain. Rezo walked to the front part of the Demon where the monster's head was.
"Shouldn't underestimate us mortals," Rezo said.
"I cannot be slain here! Not by you!" Omukade replied.
"Well, you're about to be."
Rezo readied another massive flaming fist and he punched the War Captain's face making the Demon's head explode. More guts landed on Rezo.
"Gods damn it. More Demon guts. Eww."
Rezo refocused and went over to Reyla. Rezo used a flame spell and destroyed the webbing. Reyla hugged him.
"Thank you so much dad," she said.
"Hey, I'm just doing what any father would do. Now, let's find the rest of your team and get out of here so I can wash off these Demon guts."
