Escaping the Demons
1385 Words
We are surrounded by Demons? What is this?! This is so one-sided!
At this point, I was certain to ditch Sune if I couldn't find us a way to escape.
But then I remembered my childhood story, as I feel all hope is lost, I got flashbacks.
I was as competitive as the professional players back then, despite me, being an 11-year-old kid at school.
I could defeat even the hardcore players in PVP, and once I was able to defeat a professional player in a PVP, with a 20 level gap between us.
I was at level 31 and he has more than 50 levels over me.
But I was triumphant in the end because back then I learned a technique, that I once never revealed even to my friends.
I've forgotten that technique now, but if I ever remember it, someone or something takes over my body, and fight for me, as I watch it win against all odds.
What is this in my head? I can't move my body.
Oh no! Is this the demon's magic?! I can't lose like this, it will be disgraceful to the name of Vermilion! She once never lost to anyone other than her close friends!
I can't lose! to these demons!
I then couldn't move my body and could only watch.
“Sune, can you fight demons?” I asked, or perhaps Vermilion did?
“Of course, I wouldn't be able to kill a lot of people if I can't handle these clowns on my own. ” she answered.
Vermilion confirming, assistance is expected, calculating strategy against high-level demons, successful, and possible.
Is that Vermilion speaking in my head? She sounds like a computer and she's calculating a way for us to fight against these demons?
Of course, that's not the technique I used back when I was a kid.
It was something like googling on what weaknesses each class in the game does damage effectively, and I utilized it and battled better than anyone.
“Sune, I instruct you to cripple the other demons, I'll hold the demon general, and help me battle this one afterward. ” Vermilion instructed Sune.
“You sound like you've changed, what happened to you? ” Sune asked as she is readying her daggers to fight.
“Call me Vermilion's Assistant, I'll be assisting him to fight these demons against tall odds, and judging by what they have told us, they are either planning to catch me or kill me. ” Vermilion explained.
I was surprised that I gained an AI assistant, and she could calculate fights for me and also fight for me in my stead.
“ARE YOU TWO DONE? THIS IS A WARNING HUMAN LADY, WE WILL AKE OUR GODDESS WITH US IF YOU WANT TO LIVE. ” the demon general said.
How did I even become their goddess? if I'm being honest, if I own a fleet of this number, I would be unstoppable.
That's to say if Sune will agree to that terms, or if VA will allow it.
I'm calling my assistant in my head VA, as in Vermilion's Assistant, because it will be hard to call her that.
And she sounds the same as Vermilion too.
“I'm willing to kill all these demons and help you with the Demon General, but I need assurance if the real Vermilion is okay. ” Sune said, assuring if I'm okay.
“Rest assured, Vermilion is still okay, she's listening and watching us through these eyes, I switched over to help her assess the situation. ” VA assured.
She sounds so robotic, but she speaks with good intention too, that's not something you hear a lot from AI assistants, but then again, she is created from this World.
She's nicer than I expected.
“Alright, with those answers, you have my full cooperation into killing these clowns! calling themselves demon is such a laughing stock! ” Sune shouted with an intense grin on her face.
Is Master willing to allow me to use the Lioness Magus Bow?
Is she asking me permission? she could use anything I have, I have no way to deal with these things even if I have that.
So is Master allowing me?
If you didn't guess it, she could read my thoughts.
Yes, of course, I am not to interfere with what you are capable of, use everything I have and show me what you can do!
Understood.
“I will distract the demon general while you take down the other lower demons. ” VA instructed, she then pulled out Lioness Magus Bow.
“YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE, GODDESS, WE SHALL ARREST YOU FOR HELPING THE HUMAN! ” the demon general shouted and rushed at us.
Vermilion did one of the most iconic moves of Vermilion in the game, her passive skill to shoot arrows so fast, her right hand just moved like Gatling g*n back and forth to shoot the demon general multiple times in a single second.
It was the fastest thing I witnessed because, in order to shoot a magic arrow, you have to put your hand in the middle of the bow, and imaginarily pull backward and it will shoot the arrow.
But if you want to shoot again you have to do it again, which is harder in reality.
I'm just exaggerating, that's just the animation of the passive skill.
VA then switched to the Tigress Spear and rushed in after she shot the demon general's legs.
The demon general tried to attack, but it's futile, as VA moved passed to his side, and ended up behind him.
VA then slashes his back.
The demon general turn around and swung his fist at VA, but VA dodged.
The demon general is fast not gonna lie, at this moment, I was stressing out, that I relied too much on AI, but I was stressing out for nothing.
The demon is almost close to hitting me, and I've been attempting to dodge for VA, am I relying on AI too much.
Vermilion shouldn't worry too much, as this world's smartest mind being, I will never fail on my calculations, if you don't have a good body build and strength, I would've suggested a retreat plan.
Stop reading my mind! and also, mind being? can you please explain to me that later when we managed to make it out alive?
Affirmative, just leave everything to me, and also, I can't stop reading your mind, our thoughts are intertwined, and like in the same room so all secrets and thoughts are impossible to be hidden.
That's correct though, I've tried it once, and it was in vain as she managed to see my thoughts on split second and warned me about it.
*stab
“ARGH!!! " the demon general shouted in pain, and it turns out it was Sune stabbing him at the back.
Sune's done already?
With her skill level, it is possible.
“Hey, I'm done here, I got him, just s***h its head!! ” Sune shouted like a psychopath, still with a grin smile.
She just loves killing, ain't she?
No arguments there.
At this point, I just accepted that I have with me what is basically a permanent friend on my head unless she stops talking to me completely.
VA then closed in and slashed the demon general's head, sending it flying.
“Haah, I do love killing, but since it's not human, it's not exciting as much. ” Sune said, now normally.
I don't know what's scarier, her talking like a psychopath or her talking normally about all the killing she does.
I then switched back to the body but I don't know and wasn't informed by VA.
“Please don't talk about those kinds of things, it's creepy. ” I said as I was in control.
Did I just switch back?
“Oh, that's what you think of my killer side, interesting. ” Sune said, in screwed.
I'm not responsible for this, you just have a judgy character.
Why!!!??
“Let's just get out of here!! ” I said, dodging the topic.
I then run away to the opposite of the raided village, we weren't really heroic about it, but I wanna survive for now, and also, I learned that I'm a Demon Goddess of the demon race here in this World.
“Hey, don't change the subject, get back here!! ” Sune shouted and followed me.
Of course, I'm running at the topic as well.
