129 Don't Say that Little Girl!

Without wasting another breath, Procras sent a punch towards Faunia's stomach. His attack was so fast that Faunia wasn't able to shield her arms and could only thicken the scales on her body at its maximum.

Faunia could only grit her teeth as his fist landed on her stomach whilst having a huge grin in his face.

"Khak!"

Faunia spurts out blood from her mouth and was sent flying; crashing into the trees and splitting them into half. Fortunately, she hit a wall of rock and was buried several inches in it.

The impact had caused a minor tremor that was strong enough to shake some leaves out of the trees and make the birds fly into the air.

At this moment, Blood drips out from her dark green scale as her body seemed like it had suddenly lost all of her energy. She gasped at a hasted pace while barely able to raise her hand that was pointing towards Procras.

"What happened to you little Faunia?" Procras asked while he shook off his right hand, "Where is that thick skin you are so proud of?"

Faunia could only grit her teeth in response as Procras approached her with a smug.

"No wonder I sensed a strong magical aura earlier." he said, "It scared the sh@t out of me, to the point that I even used a portal scroll."

In the next second, the expression in his face changed from friendly to hostile, and he asked, "Are you also after me?"

Faunia didn't speak in response. Instead, the golden chains from her ring shot straight towards Procras. This somehow caught Procras off guard as the chains pierced through his chest.

But before Faunia could feel relieved, the body of Procras turned into smoke and burst into the surroundings. Then, a few meters away from it, another Procras appeared, who burst into laughter and had no signs of injury.

"Little Faunia! Little Faunia! Did you think that your toy would work on me?" He mocked, "Since when did your taste became sh@t?"

After taking a deep breath, Procras charged towards Faunia, sending another punch to bury her deeper into the wall. Faunia could only brace her self because, for some reason, she still cannot move even just a finger.

Consequently, she could only send a warning message towards Pedro, telepathically.

'Human... It seems like our journey together would end here!' Faunia said to Pedro.

Pedro's mind went blank after hearing the faint voice of Faunia in his head. This made him suddenly land to the burning forest as tears were seemingly about to fall from his dark eyes.

'Wha-What do you mean-' Pedro asked in response, but he was interrupted as Faunia continued her last words.

'A demon had defeated me. Go away from this area as fast and as far as you can. I'll hold this b@st@rd as long as I can.' She said, 'I might not like humans, but we share the same goal of defeating the demons! Live and avenge me and my master, human!'

~~~~~~~~~~~

Faunia smirked as she watched Procras charged towards her, and murmured as her vision started to fade, "It feels better to die in the hands of a divine being than in the hands of a mere human."

"Hahahaha! Don't say that little girl! You would make Old D look bad! Hahahaha!"

At this moment, when Procras was just meters away from Faunia, a dice as big as the Rubik's cube rolled in front of Procras and landed at the number 5.

Then, a big clown suddenly popped out of it. The clown was attached to a spring and held a knife that was aimed towards Procras.

Like earlier, the clown was able to successfully stab towards the body of Procras but his body simply turned into smoke and burst. Then, another Procras appeared several meters away from it; who had a troubled look.

"Hahahaha! How about my toy? Did you like it? Hahahaha!"

Two figures of a man, who were wearing a black overcoat, came out behind a tree nearby the rock wall where Faunia was embedded.

When their figures became clear, Procras can't help but took a step back and stutter in fear. "F-Fate? O-Old D?"

Fate simply burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha! Why are you so stiff brother? Didn't you miss me? Come on... Show me some of your magic tricks. Hahahaha!"

Old D frowned in annoyance to Fate, and consequently 'tapped' his cane to the ground, releasing strong magical energy enough to burst the figure of Procras into smoke again. However, this time, there was not a single trace of the presence of Procras.

"Hide from us, Procras! But your day is specially marked on my list!" Old D said scarily, enough to even send shivers down Fate's spine.

Add up the trees that suddenly became dried, plus the leaves that suddenly withered, the area around them had an eerie vibe that was akin to an abandoned place or a forsaken land.

After almost a minute of silence, Fate spoke in a dismayed tone.

"Aish, Old D! You should have let me play a little bit with brother Procras. It's been a long time since we have seen each other after all! Hahaha!"

"Tch!" Old D frowned and glanced towards Fate in annoyance, and said, "If you really wanted to play with him, change his fate to do so! How annoying!"

"Haha... I was just joking Old D! Come on! Can't you take a little joke from me?"

"Joke?" Old D asked. Then, he scolded, "It's not even funny!"

"Hahahaha! You are the one who is funny, Old D! Hahahaha!" Fate burst into laughter even after Old D almost hit him with his cane.

"Let's go back to that human stronghold! I like the drink they call tea, back there." he said, "Take the little girl and let's go!"

"Why do I have to-"

Before Fate could finish his complaint, Old D stared towards him, enough to make Fate silent and grab the unconscious Faunia without saying another word. However, Fate still wore his wide grin and murmured to himself.

"The future seems intersting! Hahahaha!"
