''Hihihihi~ You think you have won? I summon thee.'' Randall declared.
Sam, Mio, and Elsa felt an ominous feeling all of a sudden.
Suddenly, from within Randall, a claw came out, having a claw coming out from his chest, Randall puked mouthful of blood, his face lost all of his colors, he couldn't believe what was happening. He pushed Chloe aside.
''H-H-how is this happening? Puh! It was not what had been agreed. W-why?"
Then a second claw came out before Randall was ripped apart, splashing blood and gore everywhere.
''R-Randall,'' Clemens shouted, stretching his arms forward as if he wished to collect her brother's falling pieces. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water; even with everything the latter had done, Clemens still feels grief seeing his brother getting killing ruthlessly like that; however, there was something more concerning at the moment.
After Randall was ripped apart, a skeleton had taken his place, not an ordinary skeleton, a skeleton general wearing bone armor.
Swoosh!
''Get ready; it's coming.''
After successfully securing and feeding Chloe the remedy for the poison, Sam (Alex) shouted as he readied his weapons.
Immediately after Sam warned the others, the dance hall turned dark all of a sudden before it became brighter again; however, there was someone who wasn't present there previously but had appeared. A person dressed in a black robe with a hoodie.
''Jie~ Jie~ Humans are and will always remain a fool. To think this pork would think I would let him live.''
While saying this, the man kicked some remaining of Randall; this action made his hood fall, revealing his identity. Pale white and dried skin, hollowed eyes, one was blind while the other was red, a single horn could be seen protruding from this man's head.
''Hi?! Demon"
Be it was the Baron or his two guards, both expressions turned ashen when they saw the identity of the newcomer; they were feeling scared, so scared that their legs gave up (The two guards), and they crawled back, to put some distance them and this demon.
Mio's expression turned severe; it was her first time seeing a demon if you disregard Lilith, who was practically not different from a human.
Sam, on the other hand, started pondering the possible reason for this demon to show up in human territory; the demon wasn't afraid. Either because he must accomplish something at all cost or because he was stupid, Sam (Alex) bet on the former.
The most shaken person in this dance hall was none other than Elsa (Lilith); never in her wildest dream would she have thought of encountering a demon here. Instantly, Elsa ruled out the possibility that this demon was a pursuer send after her, so there's only one answer left, this demon has come to accomplish a goal.
Unknowingly both Sam (Alex) and Elsa (Lilith) had arrived at the same conclusion; however, in Lilith's case, she must destroy whatever goal this demon had come to accomplish; this would be like slapping her brother because she believes that whatever goal the demon has here, Lucifer mustn't be stranger to it, maybe he was the initiator.
''What a demon came to do in the human territory?" Elsa probed.
The demon from the undead race turned his head in Elsa's direction and studied her for a while before laughing.
''Jie~ Jie~ What a nice little human girl, she is courageous on top of this. Jie~ Jie~ it's decided I shall turn you into an undead puppet.''
Instead of answering Elsa, the demon told her about his wish to turn her into an undead puppet.
''You should answer the lady first. Don't you think so? Bag of bones.'' Sam provoked the demon and as expected, being called bag of bones enraged the demon, and he attacked.
''Die you, weak human.''
Dark tentacles were shot toward Sam at frightening speed; he disappeared, switching with Mio, who unsheathed her katana and cut the tentacles apart.
Clangs!
Sam appeared in front of the still dazed Baron and kicked him away while blocking the general skeleton claw.
At the same time, Elsa appeared just before the demon could take away the unconscious Chloe.
''Tsk!"
The demon clicked his tongue in annoyance seeing his plan.
''You are quite smart for a weak human.'' The demon complimented Sam.
Clangs! Clangs!
While blocking the general skeleton attacks, Sam responded.
''Thanks for the compliment, but we were weak, but we still kick your ass back then.''
''Don't get cocky, human. I shall kill you and accomplish my mission.'' The demon from the undead race said before lifting his arm and chanted.
''Come forth, servants from hell.''
Crack!
The ground in front of the demon cracked, and from the ground, different types of skeletons came out; some had human features while some animal features such as dogs. Specials type of skeleton had two heads be it was human or beast one.
While carrying Clemens with him to retreat to a secure location, Sam slapped the Baron awake. Elsa moved Chloe back while Mio dragged and tossed the two guards to some corner of the dance hall.
''Clemens, better tell us what you are hiding. This is not the time you to still conceal things.''
At first, Clemens stayed silent before sighing.
The demon from the undead race and his skeletons were not in a hurry; for him, a bunch of Rank 7 couldn't stop him from completing his goal. He would slowly torture them; like this, they would feed him more resentment. He would turn then them into the perfect undead.
''You know what hexagon is, don't you?" The Baron asked.
''Of I do,'' Sam answered before throwing a knife that cracked an approaching skeleton skull.
''That's good. Elesim is a part of the Hex Cities. Six cities formed a hexagon around Avalon.''
Clemen's explanation astonished Sam, Mio, and Elsa. They could guess the reason for the six cities to exist.
〖It's to form the perfect shield around Avalon.〗Silveria declared, and indeed, Clemens following words confirmed this guess.
''The hex cities existed to form a perfect shield around Avalon.'' Clemens had declared; the three looked at each other before waiting for the whole story.
