The appearance of a mysterious demon shocked everyone at the scene. The demon was burly, about 3 meters tall, had long nails, was naked, had black skin, had two sharp fangs, and a serrated tail.
When that monstrous demon appeared, he immediately pointed at me with his index finger and called me Zolotaya Roza. I don't understand why the creature called me by such a strange name. I can't linger in confusion. I had to calm myself down and muster up the courage to face all kinds of possibilities.
"Ristia! Get away from here right now!" My mother screamed loudly, she frowned.
Suddenly the demon swung its long spear and slashed my mother's body very strongly, fortunately she was not hit by the sharp tip of the spear, so she just bounced into the forest, crash a tree trunk and landed in a thicket.
"RUN!!!" Finding the fact that the Commander-in-Chief was beaten by the five-horned demon with ease, a group of explorers hiding behind the thickets immediately ran away, they had the heart to leave their dying comrades behind.
"W-Wait, please don't leave me," said a heavily injured male explorer.
Meanwhile, my mother had an injury to her ribs and heavy bleeding from her forehead. Despite receiving a number of grievous injuries, my mother did not lose consciousness, instead she got up and limped along, in order to protect me from the attacks of a formidable demon.
"Run away, Tia. The demon is no match for you...." My mother spoke, holding back the excruciating pain. She occasionally fell, her footsteps were erratic, she slowly lost his balance. My mother's eyesight began to blur and her head felt dizzy, but she kept getting up, getting up, getting up, and getting up.
"How dare you hurt my mother! You bastard!" I can't stand my mother getting beat up by that damn demon. I wanted to vent my anger, but I couldn't. My soul will be damaged even more if all my strength comes out of my body. I had to calm myself down so I wouldn't die silly.
I better run away, the demon is too strong for me, even my mother was blown away by the swing of her spear, I don't know what will happen if I get hit by the spear, maybe I will be thrown into space. However, I mustn't recklessly run away, the demon won't let me escape so easily, I have to find a way to distract him.
I'm pretty sure my mother didn't die from an attack like that, this is just my hunch, she is still able to stand up and fly Roseliet from a distance. If my guess is correct, then I can ask her for help. However, I don't know where my mother fell, there are too many trees blocking my view, so my eyes have trouble finding her.
I will rely on my luck. I pointed my right hand at the forest where my mother landed, then made a short communication in the form of finger movements. If she accepts the code I gave, I can run away easily. Otherwise, I'll have to dodge those bastard demons' attacks later.
I took one Limu-limu friut that I hid in my trouser pocket and I ate it a little, then said with a small smile, "At least I can taste the deliciousness of this fruit one last time..."
"SHIT! I HATE HORRIBLE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS!!!" I slammed the fruit on the ground, then ran as fast as I could away from the burly demon.
“Run Ristia! If you die, you won’t be able to eat the delicious fried rice and rations anymore. You also haven’t felt the beauty of love, marriage, and having children. Shit, I don’t want to die a virgin. Anyway just run Ristia! RUN FOR YOUR YOUTH!!!” I screamed and shed tears because I was too scared.
I looked back and saw the five horned demon raising his spear, he took a stance, he used his left hand to aim at me and stabilized his right hand so the spear could glide accurately.
“T-That’s terrible! That demon won’t let me run away just like that!”
The demon moved his body forward, then he swung his right hand holding the spear and threw it with all his might at me. The spear shot out, splitting the wind at high speed.
I won’t be able to dodge the spear’s attack that fast. I also don’t know how to fend off this spear that immediately bore a hole in my body. I can only hope for help from my mother, if my message is not delivered, then my life is over.
“Good job, kid. You’ve been buying time and distracting that demon....”
Roseliet hit the devil’s spear that was rushing towards me, the spear bounced off and stuck to the ground. It didn’t stop there, my mother took control of Roseliet and flew the weapon at the demon. However, the five-horned creature was able to stop Roseliet with both hands, then he took a closer look at my mother’s weapon.
“R-Roseliet. One of Faberi’s weapons. D-Did Faberi manage to get out of the altar?” The demon asked himself in a deep voice, he spoke irregularly and looked frightened.
“However, this weapon is too weak, is this Roseliet I’m holding a fake?” The demon asked himself once again.
“Hahaha,” my mother laughed evilly, “That roseliet in your hand is a fake, you stupid demon!”
My mother’s mainstay weapon that was in the devil’s hand melted into hundreds of rose petals. The burly demon was surprised and immediately removed the rose petals from his right hand. As it turned out, the real Roseliet was behind the demon, the headhunting weapon hovering in the air and emitting a bright pink glow.
When the demon looked back, Roseliet moved forward quickly and stabbed his in the neck.
“ARGHHHH!!!” The demon screamed in pain, he struggled violently, his black blood splattered everywhere, he tried his best to pull out Roseliet who was firmly stuck in his neck.
“Have fun in hell.” My mother smacked her finger on her right hand, as soon as Roseliet’s light got brighter, the demon closed its eyes because it was too bright. My mother doubled Roseliet’s magic until it hit the maximum point, when the weapon was unable to accommodate a large amount of magic, then the weapon would cause a powerful explosion to disperse the magic that was not accommodated properly.
BOOM! Roseliet exploded and caused a blast of wind that was stronger than the previous bang.
In fact, I only asked for help so that I could escape smoothly, but my mother actually counterattacked, she secretly made other plans, tactics, she was so good at outsmarting her enemies.
When the magic boom had subsided, I could see the demon’s body disintegrating, leaving only its two legs. In addition, the explosion formed a fairly wide crater, if filled with water, the crater would become a lake.
“Sturdy explosion!” I raised my hands, smiling happily.
Finally, my mother appeared, she came out of the wilderness in an alarming condition, the bleeding on her forehead was getting worse, my mother’s face was covered in blood. I ran to my mother and made her kneel down, then I wiped the bloodstains off her face with a clean brown cloth.
“You are not fine, mother. Let Ristia treat your wounds.”
My mother nodded slightly, after which she begged me in a soft voice, “Please, treat my wounds, Tia.”
“Understood.” I took the medicine box out of the big bag, then took out the antimicrobial liquid along with the bandage. I am already proficient in treating scratches or bleeding wounds, it doesn’t take long, I have finished rinsing the wound with anti-microbial liquid and put a bandage on my mother’s forehead.
“It’s finished!” I smiled, then put the medicine box back into the big bag.
“Thank you.” My mother smiled sweetly, stroking my hair.
“No. No. I should be the one thanking you, mother. You protected me from that damned demon spear.”
“Protecting you is my responsibility.”
“It is the duty of a mother to protect her child, huh.”
My mother stood up and took my right hand.
“Let’s continue our journey.” My mother called Roseliet and reached for the burnt weapon with her right hand, then she put it in the scabbard.
As I walked, I took the time to praise my mother, “Your action was really cool, mother. Ristia didn’t expect you to plan something great.”
“Never stop making plans, kid.” My mother advised me.
“So if we’re pooping, we have to make a plan as well?” I asked, tilting my head to the right.
“Yes, you always have to make a plan. Just imagine, you are defecating in the toilet, but you just realized that there is no water to clean the rest of the dirt, without thinking of a plan, you will last forever in the toilet,” replied my mother.
“Hahaha,” I laughed, “Okay, I understand, mother. By the way, what happened to your Roseliet? That weapon looked burnt.”
“This weapon got burnt from the explosion earlier, don't worry, Roseliet can fix herself.”
“Roseliet sure is magic, huh.”
“Yes, right.”
Not long after, the ground shook violently, we both fell down, my mother and I were very confused by this sudden phenomenon.
“Earthquake?” I asked, hugging my mother.
“No. Reliquia won’t have an earthquake,” my mother replied.
“Then, what is this ground shaking!?” I started to panic.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from inside the crater formed by Roseliet’s explosion, “Leaving so soon!?”
“WHAT!?” I was surprised, the demon was still alive, he put back his scattered and mutated body parts. The demon’s body became bigger than before, in addition he enveloped himself with fiery red magic.
“N-No way....” My mother was dumbfounded when she saw the demon’s resurrection.
“Roseliet is in someone else’s hands? No wonder the explosion was so ridiculous!” The demon pulled out two spears from within its burly body.
