THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
The arrogant rat

Although Zen's aura was really shown as wanting to kill, but it was only as a form of intimidation so that Hamza could be silent and not harass him.

At the request of the Sabrian guild master, Zen released Hamza who was now motionless and just stared at Zen with a trembling body.

If Zen was serious, without needing a single finger for him to move, even a platinum badge Hunter would die before trying to fight back.

Some of his subordinates walked over, they were certainly wondering how could a fearless Hamza when faced with monsters, now as if they were going to be hymns.

"Chairman what happened...." Ask one person.

Trying to catch his breath and stand up straight, but the feeling of fear in Hamza's heart cannot be hidden. Only, he was still trying to show himself full of authority.

"I'm still tired from the fight against the demon army before, if it wasn't for this, I would have beaten up the man." With a bold attitude.

"That's right, chief, next time we meet him, we'd better teach him a lesson to be more respectful."

"No need, let it be, I don't want to be considered a bad person who likes to persecute the weak."

"The two are awesome."

All those subordinates were already blinded by the figure of Hamza who became a top-tier Hunter in the royal city of Zorgan. So as not to know anything, if Zen is on a higher level than anyone and it is impossible for them to defeat.

On the second floor of the guild Master's office...

Zen and Eri were brought in by Sabria, he wanted to know for sure about the reason the demon army attacked.

And it is true as Eri said, if there are three other figures where they are high-level demons, two of them attack the Hunter group.

But one thing is certain for Zen, he told Sabria... "I fought with the demon lord."

"What!!?, you must be kidding." The shock on Sabria's face certainly showed how terrifying the figure of the demon lord was.

"For what reason am I joking, this is a serious matter where once the demon lord has made a move, then a great war between the hero and the demon will soon take place." Zen replied looking seriously.

"But why did the demon lord appear in this place." Sabria asked directly.

Zen had already prepared his reason..."He wanted to take out the resurrection seed of another demon lord which turned out, the seed was hiding inside a cave near the border."

"Did the demon lord manage to obtain the resurrection seed ?."

"No, before the Demon Lord got it, I had already destroyed the resurrection seed he was looking for." Although in reality Zen absorbed the seed and is now inside him.

"Thank God...." Sabria breathed a little.

If this was related to the demonic figure, every human would feel worried about their appearance which was the same as the presence of natural disasters.

"But I didn't expect, if master Hanzen is able to defend against the demon lord." Sabria gave a compliment.

"Yes, Madame Sabria knew that sometimes miracles do come at the right time." Zen gave another reason.

"What miracle is it ?." Sabria.

"Either on what basis, the demon lord went and let me go." Zen obviously did not want to tell the truth.

"It was luck." Sabria nodded in agreement.

In fact Zen's speech was just a small lie he made so that Sabria would not magnify the matter. An ordinary Hunter of golden badges was able to repel a demon lord where the notabenenya was equivalent to a Legend-category demon beast, it was clearly an amazing and impossible thing to happen.

"But why he left, I know, the demons love to kill people, they think of us as toys and once they're satisfied, they leave." Sabria replied with her own perspective.

"See, maybe he knows if eating me will hurt my stomach." Just so Zen spoke.

Sabria and Zen laughed out loud, even though it was not something amusing to them.

Being in the capital city of the Zorgan kingdom crowded at night is common, there are still many residents who do activities without caring about their sleep time.

Moreover, for the Hunters, they always enjoy free time, party drunk with friends, or even entertain themselves in dimly lit stalls with women.

It becomes a natural thing for urban communities, whether in the world where humans live.

"Hey do you want to eat something ?." Ask Zen to Eri.

"What can we eat in this town for?, all the food is bad, I'd rather you cook it." Answer Eri.

"All right, I don't mind."

"Then I want to eat soup."

The Dungeon's soul voice echoed in Zen's mind...'Master there are five people following you with killing intent.'

'You don't have to say it I already know.'

Zen only smiled with a headband... "But before we eat, what should we do with the mice in the back."

"Micus?, isn't that common in this city a lot of rats." Answer Eri.

Zen realized it, but not with Eri, if there were currently five people following them from the beginning out of the guild office. Not just knowing that there are bad intentions that they want to do, but about who these people really are.

"It's just that the rats that are hiding now, are huge, black, smelly and also arrogant." Zen added in his description.

"I just found out that rats can be arrogant."

"Please take it that way."

Zen pulled Eri's hand to get into a narrow and deserted alley.

The five of them were Hamza's subordinates who wanted to avenge Zen's actions for insulting the chairman.

Hiding in the dark shadows of the walls of the house, running silently and moving quickly slipped in the blind spot of the eye.

Zen acknowledged their abilities were quite expert for the gold Hunter badge class, it was just that they had picked the wrong opponent. It is considered that Zen is only a weak fool, it must be a big mistake.

"Zen why we passed by a lonely place, do not-don't you... Wouldn't it be better in the room."

"Why did you turn aggressive after becoming a demon, did it affect your personality." Zen did not end up thinking with Eri's attitude now.

After Zen explains about the five people who want to do evil to Eri, now he knows that the purpose of Zen bringing him into a narrow alley is to avoid eyewitnesses when it comes to finishing them off.

Eri immediately jumped on top of the house quickly and left Zen alone in the small alley.

It is true that when Eri left, now two male figures appeared on the front road and the other three blocked from the back.

"Who would have thought, you knew we were coming, and you let the little girl go to be safe, what a wise man."

The five of them did not give Zen a chance to escape, this narrow alley only had two roads, namely front and back.

Zen was relaxed to answer...."Gentlemen, what are you doing to block my way ?. If you really want to talk, there's still time tomorrow."

"You don't have a chance to talk tomorrow, because your life ends tonight." Answer them with threats.

Without needing much to say, one person immediately unsheathed the sword and intended to slash at Zen's head. But the thought was too naive to assume that everything would end easily.

One arrow shot from above and pierced through his hand until the sword fell.
