Demigods

Chapter 17

Three days passed, and the fire came back.

"Master I've found something" said the firefly as he flew over to Lio.

"What did you get?"

"The animals came from the forest. I think maybe the devil is hiding there. Most of the animals there are already under his control. If we attack there, you have to face the animals" Firefly explained.

Lio also remembered the words of Nada the other day. Tone saw a spider hiding in a dark, damp place, and a lot of rocks. Tone felt the place was a cave.

"Go find out if there's a cave in the forest"

"Good sir"

The firefly left just as Lio had ordered. Lio hurried to pick up his black jacket and went outside the house. He was about to go to the place that was talked about by the firefly earlier. He went to his yard as usual.

Lio was preparing to fly but suddenly.

"Lio?"

The call from Nada made Lio sigh violently.

"What are you doing?" he said as he approached Lio. "You want to go?"

Lio ruffled his waist, feeling in disbelief. "You again!! What are you doing here?"

"You really want to go?"

"It's none of your business"

"Aish you are. Why so arrogant. You promised to help me explain the devil to my friends" said Nada, with a face.

"Aren't you explaining yourself to them? Troublesome" Lio was about to leave, but was blocked by Nada.

"can't. They don't trust me"

"Then do you think they'll believe me too?" Lio's one sentence made Nada speechless. "I'd guess. If it could not trust its team members for what kind of group was there? Irritating"

"But ... Only once. Can you explain it to them just once? Who knows if they believe you"

"Huh. Stupid jerk. What the hell are you doing that for?"

"I just don't want to. They hunt demons without knowing who our enemies are. In my dreams, the spider was terrible. I fear they could be victims. After all, with them who knows who can help you"

"Help me?" You also think for a moment. He remembered the words firefly that there are a lot of animals that have been influenced by the demon Pharoh. "alright. I already know where they are" anyway"

"really? Wait especially. Come on!!"

Nada and Lio went to the headquarters of the D'hunters. There was already seen the members of the D'hunter were gathering inside the headquarters. All eyes were fixed towards Lio and Nada who went inside there.

"Great ... He wasn't even injured at all" muttered Viro who saw an unharmed Lio beating the animals in the park at that time. And they just recovered.

"He again" murmured Brian.

"Friends. Lio already knows the existence of the demon, the demon that affects all the animals" explained Nada.

"What devil? The animals are the demons said Brian did not like.

Lio also smirked underestimating them. Yeah, that's right. During this time the d'hunter only hunted something that looked like a demon without investigating it first. Whether it's a human, an animal or something. The D'hunter would still kill him and assume it was a demon without knowing the real devil.

"What are you saying right?" tiara.

"of course. I told you, sometimes what we kill is ordinary people"

"That means your vision is problematic" Brian continued. Viro and Kenan are just watching.

Lio walked towards the white board that was in front of them. Without further ado, Lio grabbed the marker and wrote something on the board.

"Hey, you. You have no right to do that" Brian stood up to approach Lio but was arrested by Kenan.

"The devil you see and the one you face, is not the real devil" explained Lio who was still writing something on the board. "There are seven demon lords who came to the world with their different powers, the Devil that affects those animals is this" Lio continued while pointing at the board. "He is the demon Pharoh"

The members of D'hunter pay close attention, except for the reluctant Brian.

"He was a spider, but he had horns on his head. The thread you see beating the animals is his net. Which can only be seen by certain people when it is on their necks, but when it is broken, the thread can be seen by your eyes" continued Lio.

"Then why did he fool the animals?" ask Viro.

Lio put the marker back into place. "just simple. Because he wants to eat"

"True, it's true. These seven demon lords intend to rule your world. But this demon Pharoh is only concerned with his stomach"

"Then what is the devil's power?" said Kenan who asked.

"He can turn those animals into giants"

"Why should animals? Why not human?" continue Kenan again.

"For him, animals are the best intermediaries to make him full. On the outside they are the ones who eat humans, but it is actually the demons who are full" explained Lio as she put her hand into the pouch.

"Why doesn't he just eat those animals?" nada.

''He doesn't want it. He's just obsessed with human flesh"

"Bahh ... Horrible" muttered Viro.

"No. There's something far more terrifying than the demon Pharoh"

"What's that?"

"I won't tell you now" Lio turned his gaze towards Nada. "I've helped you"

The tone nodded. "Now tell us where the devil is?" continued Nada.

"There's a condition"

"That's right. I didn't believe it from the start" Brian murmured.

"Tell me" said Kenan.

"Ken, you-"

"If we could, we would have accepted the terms" Kenan interrupted Brian's remarks.

Lio smiled in a slant. "Simple, I need you to fight the animals that have been affected by it. And I'm gonna lure that demon out"

"Not bad, we can do that" Tiara said.

"You too?" brian said he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, but if you believe his vision" Lio added as he looked towards Nada.

"Say where?" continued Kenan. Brian couldn't believe what he saw. They can trust strangers.

"forest. He's hiding in the woods. I've got someone to investigate"

"Where is the forest here?" muttered Viro. "Wait on!! The grove? There's a forest on Mount Juo. I heard there is a wilderness"

"Yes, you're right Viro"

"But it's a long way from here" Viro continued.

"You either agree to help me or it's not up to you. But I will still go there" said Lio about to leave.

"Of course we'll come along. We have to keep our word" Kenan said.

"Good"

Lio waited for those who were preparing, as well as waiting for news from the firefly. He's sitting in the D'hunter's car.

While the D'hunters are getting ready in the armory.

"You crazy? Why do you believe it?" brian said to Kenan.

"I believe in his abilities" said Kenan.

"You? What's so great about him?"

"In fact he can beat the animals alone without getting hurt" Viro added.

"After all, the chairman never told us in detail what the devil was like. I think what he said was pretty convincing"

"What if he's just tricking us?"

"Craud what? There's nothing he can get from us" said Kenan Lali.
