“I’m well aware what Baker is capable of,” I calmly voiced while my gaze returned to looking at the outskirts beyond this crowd of experimental monsters.
That would lead us back to the forest and where we had to discover the gateway that would take me to the dangerous realm of Demon Valley.
A place full of terrors and death that taunts its guests at every corner.
"A shame, really,” I finally continued while I dared to smirk. “He doesn’t grasp what I’m capable of in return.”
“You can’t do shi—AH!” She was lifted up before she could finish, and not another word could come out of her mouth because she was screaming as she soared through the air thanks to the generous toss that landed her in the midst of the demonic crowd of tainted beings.
She didn’t stay a second on the ground before her she was attacked and ripped to shreds. Those creatures acted like a sea of piranhas fighting to get a taste of a single hook of bait.
Her screams did nothing to make me feel pity for her; my attention was focused on the tainted beings’ behavior and how quickly it took them to kill a helpless demon.
“Forty-five seconds, Lady Heartwell,” Zasper announced as if he already understood what I wished to calculate. “Shall we move her to a different spot?”
“Yes, please,” I encouraged, and Zeke and Zavier tugged and whipped the chain with enough force to send Laura’s body further west from her current spot.
She was mid-respawn, her head beginning to reform, which ignited the shrilled screams that followed before she dropped to the ground and once again was pounced on.
This time around, the tainted demons were infatuated with her presence in their midst, which was why they fought to get closer even though she was being ripped to shreds all over again.
“Time?”
“One minute and eleven seconds, Lady Heartwell.”
“Intriguing,” I commented. “Another spot.”
She was off to the east side, her screams piercing the air once more before she was mauled. She was preserved even longer as more of the creature’s attention was pulled to her.
“Two minutes and forty-five seconds.”
“Good.” This was going to work perfectly in our favor. “Zeke, Zavier, continue doing that as we make our way to the other side. Once we reach our destination, place our confident prisoner right here.”
I purposely moved my left foot to create a little X that was barely visible. Neither of them complained about not seeing the marked place as I returned my attention to them.
“Once you do that, come regroup with us,” I encouraged. “Also, make sure the chain is long enough. Don’t want to leave our lovely bait behind.”
“Yes, Lady Heartwell.” They bowed in submission before I looked to Zasper. “Do you think it’ll be much worse by the time we head through the forest?”
He didn’t answer immediately, as if he was imagining the blueprint of this world in his mind and trying to figure out the best course of action.
“I believe this could be a test,” he finally suggested. “As to whether he has backup ready to ambush us, that will be something we need to face upon arrival.”
“Excellent suggestion,” I praised and glanced around at the rest of the fleet. “Let’s move. Keep your auras lower than our bait.”
“Yes, Lady Heartwell,” they replied before Laura’s screams were piercing the air again.
It was easier now to zone it out, which may have been rather inhuman of me, but then again, we were all demons.
Who gives a fuck about a bitch screaming about being ripped apart?
I had to fight from smiling because of how ironic this all was. I had been a victim of brutality for years and somehow managed to survive with enough screws to function with a dose of cunning intelligence, while Laura couldn’t even handle five minutes of dying and respawning.
Still don’t feel pity for her.
Without delay, Zasper helped me back onto my horse before we began to move with the fleet surrounding me like I truly was a queen they were ready to worship for all eternity.
This really was what it was coming down to.
