CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 163) RESURRECT/ I APPRECIATE YOUR PROTECTION.

I let out a low chuckle despite being stunned. My eyes became piercing, and my voice deep, as I took several steps closer to the hideous hybrid creature and said to it, "You said that my kind killed your brother? Then, what about your own kind? Haven’t your kind been on a killing spree for months and years? How dare you say to my face that my kind killed your brother? It’s just a matter of time before I eliminate all of you".

The hideous hybrid creature frowned at me and bared his teeth, but I wasn’t afraid of him.

’Should I rip him apart for you, mama?’. Fireball asked me, and I could sense a blood thirsty aura emanating from him.

"In all my life as one of the ten dark supreme rangers of the darkness, the demon king, I have never seen anyone as interesting as you after her. If not for your appearance, I would have believed that you were the reincarnation of that pretty bitch who defeated me and killed me".

"But as long as the demon king lives, his ten supreme subjects and his demonic armies will naturally resurrect one day the stronger he gets, since we are all a part of him. I just have to find where he is, so I can become his weapon again". The human-like demon said.

You see, at first, I was not too sure that he was a demon, even though I could sense dark energy emanating from him more than the wild beasts and hybrid creatures. But right now, I am certain that he was a demon.

Meaning, black shadow was truly not the only demon in this world.

"What do you mean by that? The demon king? Who is that?". I asked him. If I knew or had an idea about whom the demon king was, I planned to go for him first and eliminate him, so that this world would never have demons swimming in on it.

’Clara, you missed a part of what he said to you. Didn’t you hear him mention the darkness? Doesn’t that ring a bell in your ears?’. Elektra asked me, but I became slightly confused.

The darkness? What does that mean...

I gasped. ’Is black shadow the demon king he is talking about?!’. I asked her.

’I think so, Clara’. She replied to me, making me remember that scene from that night, when I faced black shadow for the first time.

He hated the name I had given him, and told me that he was called darkness.

And even before that, he told me that he was darkness and the Lord of the underworld. How could I simply forget about that?

I should have known that he was the demon king altogether.

And I have always had this hunch that black shadow was the boss of all demons. It turned out that my hunch was right.

In that case, I must track black shadow and kill him. With him around, there is only going to be more trouble.

We haven’t finished dealing with the wild beasts and the hybrid creatures. If the demonic armies were to resurrect too, that would all be over for us!

’Mama, should we attack or not?!’. Fireball and Irving mind linked me at the same time.

"Attack". I calmly said to them with darkened eyes, and they dashed off and took off with the human-like demon and the hideous hybrid creature.

I did tell them to attack, but I had expected them to go for the less strong wild beasts and hybrid creatures. Who knew that they would directly attack those two?

Did they do that because they wanted to protect me? But I didn’t ask for that. Besides, they are still young dragons and could get hurt.

I still haven’t forgotten about how they felt wary and unsettled after they sensed black shadow’s presence for the first time.

But, looking at things now, they seem to have gotten stronger and bolder than before. My little babies.... I mean, my little dragons are growing up very fast.

What did I expect? They are dragons.

Since Fireball and Irving took off with both the hideous hybrid creature and the human-like demon and were fighting them, the remaining hybrid creatures and wild beasts faced me and were about to attack me anytime soon.

’Clara, you should shift into your human form. And use your powers. That would make the fight easier for you and in your favor’. Elektra suggested.

She did make sense, but I didn’t want to return to my human form. I wanted to be able to fight these bastards in my wolf form too, so that I would be stronger in that form also.

’Don’t worry about me, Elektra. I can deal with these bastards in your wolf form. If things get serious, I will simply return to my human form or give you control to tear them apart for me’. I told her, and she scoffed at me. ’What?’. I asked her.

’Oh please. You are clearly stronger than me in both human and wolf forms. There really is no need for you to give me control of our body, and you know that. Or are you just trying to make me feel better or something similar to that?’. She said to me, and I totally get her point and her frustration. She feels bad that I wouldn’t need her to protect me.

I chuckled as I prepared myself for battle.

’Why are you laughing, Clara? What’s so funny about what I said?’. She demanded an answer.

"I just want you to know that I also need and appreciate your protection. Besides, you are more aggressive than me and could easily slay and rip off the hearts of these bastards". I told her.

’Ha-ha-ha. Thanks for the compliment’. She said to me, but I could tell that she was being sarcastic. ’Thank you though. I wanted to hear that’. She added, making me smile.

Growl! Hiss! Squawk!

The hybrid creatures and wild beasts came at me at the same time. Even the ones that had torn wings and were flying and hovering above me, attacked me.

Before I could lift my paws or strike any of them with my claws, someone beat me to it.

Author Tina Nwuba: "For more understanding ... The ten dark rangers and the demonic armies could resurrect because they were created by black shadow using a part of himself. As for black shadow’s wife, after she died, she could not simply resurrect because she wasn’t created by black shadow, even though he had used half of his dark soul to resurrect her before in the past".
