Chapter_3 *Escape*

“Hugo! HUGO!” Igor shouted but the line was already disconnected.

All this time, Yang yang remained quiet. What was going on her mind, nobody could guess.

“Commander?” Vina called in a questioning tone.

“Where’s team Z?” Yang yang asked.

“Defending the South Barrier.” Sister Vina answered.

“Vina. Call team Z to the portal room.” Yang yang told Vina and ordered Igor, “The rest, take them with you to where Hugo’s team is.”

“And you?” Igor couldn’t help but ask.

“But I’ll be coming for you guys. So, you better to alive till then. Got it.”

“Got it!” Igor and Liberty smirked.

“Then don’t take too long.” To which Yang yang just nodded.

“Then. I’ll take Leo away. Vina.”

The Commander of Black Hawks and the only nun in the group vanished away with the only prince of the now dying Kingdom of Svetlana.

“I should learn a teleportation magic if I survive this.” Commented Liberty. “It’s always cool and saves time.” Liberty said.

“You don’t have enough patience for that.” Igor commented not so quietly earning him a smack behind the head.

But it didn’t seem to have any impact on the huge guy as he carried out the order.

“All teams except for Z, at West lake Border… I repeat. All teams except for Z at the West like border. Immediately.”

“Red Blade. Acknowledged.”

“1O1. Acknowledged.”

“TEAM Bubble. Acknowledged.”

“21. Acknowledged.”

“Blue Wolf. acknowledged.”

One by one came the message of acknowledgement from five of the Seven teams of the Black Hawks.

“Do you think we’ll survive?” Liberty thought out loud what was in everyone’s mind.

“No.” Igor answered. “But I just hope I’m wrong.”

The few seconds silence was destroyed by the ever excited for fight Liberty.

“Let’s go. Let’s go. We’ve got many guests to welcome in our humble palace.” She said holding onto Igor as she didn’t know how teleport.

Within a millisecond, the two disappeared from the floating Palace. When they arrived at the lake over which the Crystal palace was floating. The situation was already biased against them.

“Vice Commander!” Hugo called out in surprise and relief.

The man was the only one standing in the team. The rest were laying injured. Even if he was standing he was in no better state. Their enemies were just too strong for mere Gold Mages like them to hold off.

“You okay?” Igor asked him to which he nodded. “The rest?”

“The other are okay too… But Lu_”

“LUCAS!!” Came a call of distress then a small figure rushed to where a tall figure with dark purplish hair was laying.

The pink haired girl was weeping as she her love lay unconscious, and blood gushing out of him in a fast rate.

“MILLY!” She called out for her team mate.

A blonde-haired girl with long pointy ears sat down next to the girl and examined the injured man. Her hands glowed in golden light which embraced Lucas, emitting warmth from it. After a few seconds, the golden light was absorbed into his body.

“It's just poison preventing his blood to clot. He’s alright now, Stella.”

Only then the pink haired breath out in relief. But not for long. Her instinct rose up and she swung her sword toward the sky releasing a wave of crimson flame. An explosion burst out as it hit with another a ball of white flame.

Milly and Igor erected protective barriers to prevent from getting scotched by the waves of heat from the explosion.

For a few seconds, the darkness of the night was chased away by the blinding light from the explosion of the two blessed flames. It took the everyone a few moments to see clearly again.

“My my…. Killing seven of my samurais, you guys are pretty strong. For a mortal. And to possess light element, that’s rare for a mere human. That’s quite a show. I enjoyed it.” A child like voice came from above.

The Black Hawks looked up to see a grey haired ‘kid’ hovering over them. The air was tense from the dark aura emitting from this ‘kid’. But someone seemed to be unaware it.

“I never knew that Demons could speak Meddelian.” Liberty thought out loud.{It is English*. Because it is Spoken in the** Middle Realm**\, it is called** Meddelian**.}***

And since her voice was not so small, the kid heard it.

“HAHAHA!!! Since you lowly creatures can’t speak Koen, this excellency has blessed_” Before the demon could even boast, Liberty cut in. “Such a pity. The demons really have devils’ heart to force such young child to learn the tedious language.” She said as she whipped the fake tears from the corners of her eyes.

“HEY!! WHO ARE YOU CALLING PITIFUL, YOU STUPID HUMAN! AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CHILD! THIS LORD IS…..”

‘Leave it to Liberty/ Captain to cut jokes during tense situation.’ Thought the rest of the Blackhawks.

“I TELL YOU THIS LORD IS A HUNDRED TIMES OLDER THAN YOU_”

While the Demon Lord was spitting on anger, Igor asked Milly, the white elf to heal the rest of the injured teammates.

“On it.” She responded exactly knowing what he wanted to say.

She joined her had in a praying position. A golden light surrounded her and extended as tentacles. The extended hand like features, collected the injured four comrades of theirs and brought them to their side. They were engulfed by a golden light like Milly.

‘Short, grey hair, red eyes’ Igor knew those features belonged to

“Ryo Akashi!”

“Ma…Ma… Seems like you Svetlanas knows a lot, huh?” The kid jumped down with a perfect landing.

“The Sadist Pa_ The Sadist Lord of Maka, who wouldn’t know him?” Igor said.

“So… You do know that I am a Demon Lord, Huh. Then why don’t you just give ah_” The poor Lord was cut off. Once again. By Liberty.

“You mean he’s the Sadist Pup of Maka! No way. I knew the Sadist Pup was young but not this young. What is he? Seven. And look how cute he is. Ah!!! My heart hurts so bad.”

****{Maka is referring to Demon Realm\, the Ninth Realm of Nirvana in the story.} ****

With every word she spoke, she hit every nerve on the child looking ancient Demon.

“PUP!! YOU CALL THIS LORD PUP!! LET ME SHOW YOU HOW ‘CUTE’ THIS PUP IS!”
