133 Quest for the strongest monster (1/2)
[Your words honor me, master]
Mike stepped over the corpse of the now-dead level 6 man and walked onwards, as he did Azroth slowly emerged from the dungeon entrance, their body was covered in pitch-black scales with a vermilion red pattern running along their body, besides that their eyes had also turned an eerie shade of vermilion that seemed to glow in the dark, panic ensued, to say the least when they flew above the city and let out a roar, but Mike heard a much more childish sounding voice in his head
[Hahahaha!!! Sunshine!!! It feels good after several hundred years underground!!!]
Mike let Azroth have their fun while he looked on as they flew through the air dancing in the sunshine for a while before they landed in front of Mike with a bowed head
[Aplogize master, I lost myself for a moment]
”I don't mind, some says a demon is one that acts on all their impulses and instincts, so I don't mind”
[...Your words have made me very happy master, let me show you that happiness!!!]
Mike felt the mana gather around Azroth, as it did their scales lit up with an eerie red glow before it began channeling up their long body towards their mouth before they opened their mouth wide and a ball of energy gathered before they let out a dragon's breath into the sky in the form of vermilion flames that fell down onto the city, screams of terror and pain sounded out all around Mike as the inhabitants of the city felt their skin melt clean off their bones leaving behind charred black skeletons, it was truly a hellscape, Mike showed a slight smile before he summoned his wings and flew into the sky along with Azroth heading off into the distance…
A few days later Mike landed on the ground near another city, besides him landed another 'person', this 'person' was wrapped in a robe that showed off their clearly masculine figure with a wide chest and strong-looking arms, looking at the face of this 'person' it became clear why it wasn't quite a person as their mouth was missing, only two eyes that were vertical slit vermilion red showed along with a sunken nose which was nothing more than two holes in their face, besides that they had a tail that along with most of their body was covered in scales, this was Azroth in a… More human from
[Is it really necessary to stop here master?]
”Yeah… I am not like you, I can't fly forever… Besides, we need some supplies for crossing the ocean to the next island”
[Understood master… Though I do not see why you don't just take what you want?]
”Hmm… Good question… I suppose I still am human on some points, I haven't truly become a demon yet, besides interacting with people like you're above them all the time becomes boring, even if it's true”
[Hmm… Your logic is far from that of dragons…]
”That's because I am a demon, well almost anyways”
[That's true... ]
Mike and Azroth passed through the gates of the city without any problem and soon arrived at the guild where Mike momentarily churned his mana to clear out the line of people in front of him and arrived at the decks where he spoke arrogantly to the receptionist
”Take me to see your guild master, I don't have all day so make it quick”
”I'm sorry… Sir… That's....”
When the receptionist began trying to refuse Mike she was suddenly subjected to a massive amount of killing intent that slowed down her speech before she outright passed out, the source of this killing intent was Azroth that then looked over at another receptionist and sent over a voice transmission
[Are you going to refuse my master too?]
”N-N-No, please follow after me sirs”
The receptionist showed Mike and Azroth the way to the guild masters room and knocked on the door, soon a short-tempered voice came from inside
”What?”
The receptionist opened the door and spoke out
”Some high-level people are here to see you guild master”
Azroth stepped in along with Mike just as the guild master asked
”...Exactly how high level?”
Mike showed a sneer before he spoke
”High enough to twist your little filthy head off before you notice, wanna try?”
The guild master who turned out to be a rough-looking woman narrowed her eyes before she shook her head and sat back down
”No, I would rather keep my head attached”
Mike showed a slight smile as he shook his head
”A shame, it's been a long time since my partner have tasted the blood of a woman”
”...So two non-humans come to my door, I wonder what they want?”
Mike's eye twitched slightly before he asked
”What? You don't like ma' horns?”
The guild master's face soured before she spoke plainly
”No, I find you're non-human face an affront to everything holy”
