THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Forest of Death 4

"What's that sound?" ask Chrysanthemums

"Eitherway. Let's see!"

They both ran towards the direction of the sound origin. And the direction they were heading towards was the direction that the female disciple who disappeared earlier was the Eternal Lake. Both of them stopped running and how shocked they were by what they saw. A giant monster over ten feet tall was on its back. There was a very loud chewing sound from the direction of the monster. Chrysanthemum and Lili also walked quietly, hiding among the thickets while watching the giant monster who was engrossed in chewing his food. His saliva dripped from between his canine teeth. His claws brutally ripped his food apart. Looking closely, the monster resembled a werewolf. Suddenly accidentally Chrysanthemum stepped on a tree branch and made a crack sound that made the giant become alert and look back. The hearts of Lili and Chrysanthemum seemed to stop instantly as the giant monster started to become alert and watch over the surrounding area. He saw no one behind him. He continued eating with a loud chewing sound. Feeling that the giant had lowered its vigilance, Lili and Chrysanthemum were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Just a few seconds they could breathe a sigh of relief, both Chrysanthemum and Lili felt a gust of wind from above their heads followed by a terrible grunt. Slowly they looked up and saw the face of a giant wolf monster with its sharp shiny fangs ready to tear its prey. Highlight his sharp and vicious eyes began to strip the two of them.

Without further ado, the two immediately jumped away from before the giant monster. Furious, the giant monster roared very loudly while exposing its sharp claw nails. Highlight his eyes were red with drool dripping along with a loud moaning sound. The giant monster walked closer to the two. He stepped on and destroyed everything in front of him.

"Slices, what monster is that?"

"Oh, I don't know."

"Great, he's approaching us!!!"

"Fire chain!" chrysanthemum shouted while raising both of his hands.

Fire chains shot out from both of his palms and wrapped around the monster's body. He made a slight movement of locking his hands and chanting a spell. The fire chain wrapped around the monster's body was extremely tight. The chain of flames blew up the flames around the monster's body. The monster struggled with all its might to release the chains binding its body. He roared so loudly that he opened the ears of anyone who listened.

"Wahhhh... Great chrysanthemum! Come Chrysanthemum, spirit. Kill the monster!"

Lili is very enthusiastic about giving spirit to Chrysanthemum. The twists of the fire chain tightened even more. The monster grew even more furious as it flicked the chain to have its chain removed from its body. Sweat splashed all over the face of Chrysanthemum. He gritted his teeth. Both hands were trembling. He felt overwhelmed to face a giant monster whose strength was extraordinary. The giant monster was increasingly moving wildly while roaring loudly. Around his body emitted a black vortex of wind. The sound of explosions shot out from the black vortex of wind. Because it was not strong enough to withstand his attack, Chrysanthemum was pushed backwards. Until he finally bounced far back. Seeing Chrysanthemum bouncing far back and coughing blood, Lili panicked. He ran towards Chrysanthemum. But 'all in vain. Lili felt that something was standing right behind her. He felt a very strong pressure behind his back. He also looked back. He saw the giant monster figure glaring at him and roared loudly while grabbing Lili with his hand. With a quick movement Lili dodged from the monster. Seeing his prey escape from his confines, the monster roared full of anger. He launched a wisp of green-colored mucus liquid towards Lili. Luckily Lili moved so fast that she could avoid the attack of that disgusting green mucus liquid. Not only disgusting, the wisp of green-colored mucus discharge gave off a rancid smell. Not only that, the mucus liquid was also able to melt the objects around it.

"Tsk, disgusting!"

The giant monster was getting angrier looking at its prey that was able to dodge its attacks. Lili kept jumping to and fro dodging the attack the giant launched. He ran and jumped to the place where Chrysanthemum fell. Seeing that its prey had already disappeared, the giant monster roared very loudly by letting out a burst of fire from within its mouth into the sky. He was very angry. Once felt far enough, Lili observed the surrounding area. And finally he found Chrysanthemum. Lili saw the condition of the unconscious Chrysanthemum as a result of bouncing hard and falling on the ground.

"Slices, wake up Chrysanthemums! Chrysanthemum!!!" shouted Lili while gently patting both chrysanthemum cheeks.

With his remaining energy, Chrysanthemum slowly opened both of his eyes. She looked at Lili's face.

"Lili, is that you? Thank goodness you're okay."

"Then what about your token?!"

"I can find him later."

The intense sounds and vibrations due to the giant monster's footsteps made Lili become even more alert. He sensed that the giant monster was getting closer towards him. And sure enough the monster was already in sight. Both the monster's eyes were filled with anger. His fierce gaze, was ready to pounce on his prey.

"God this ugly monster has found me. Chrysanthemums let's go up my back."

Not yet had Chrysanthemum climbed up on his back, the giant monster again sprayed the green mucus liquid towards the two of them.

"Lili, lookout!!!" chrysanthemum Shouts

Lili turned her head and saw the giant monster spraying the green mucus liquid back towards the two of them. Lili who did not have time to dodge finally made a barrier for the two of them. But it was in vain. The barrier he made, slowly began to porous from within.

"Tsk, dammit! This barrier can't last long. What should we do?!"

"All we can do is just one. We have to fight him!"

"Let me fight it. You restore yourself first."

"I'm sorry Lili. Because of me, you can't complete your mission. I'll just be your burden!"

"No need to think about it. There will be a lot of missions to complete. Not just this mission. You rest now. I'll take care of the goddamn monster."

"Thank you."

Lili stood up and began to make simple movements. He made a few moves and began to lock his hands. Unfortunately the movement was read by the giant monster. Immediately the monster blew up the barrier with a burst of wisps of fire from within its mouth.
