Chapter 37: Chapter 37
“That red-haired girl figures it out, amazing”, the demon king genuinely praised Davida, “Not many would come to the conclusion she did. Most people would always think that the little lizard was just a monster without any intelligence. As a consequence, they overlook the true danger and would get eaten by Anthonio”, the demon king reminiscent.
“You enjoy people being eaten?” I jabbed a sarcastic question at the shady old man. “Not really, no. But I always enjoy how Anthonio played with his prey”, the demon king chuckled. Raising my eyebrow, “Anthonio?” I asked. “Yeah, the lizard. Anthonio is an intelligent doney. We’ve met when he’s still small,” the demon king reminiscent, “Now that I think about it again, I think I hatched him, actually”, he scratched his chin.
“Was he already a lizard with a lion head?” I asked curiously.
“Yes. Anthonio is from a special species of lizard beast known as the King Head Lizard. They were known as a lizard with the head of a lion. But the rest of his mutation, that’s all me. I fed him the essence of many powerful monsters, and he turned like that”, the demon king smiled proudly at his handy works. “Wait, you can do that?”
“I didn’t know too. I just wanted to make Anthonio stronger, so I fed him monsters essence. It was all nature how he turned like that”, the demon king answered, his voice soft.
“And his intelligence?”
“Well, Anthonio was together with me all the time. It’s obvious that he learn a thing or two from me”, he said proudly, like a father to his son.
“So, he learns to be shameless?” I smugly smile at the demon king. The demon king clicked his tongue in annoyance, “What’s wrong with being shameless? You get far in the world for being shameless and thick-skinned.” I rolled my eyes, ‘He’s not really wrong, I guess,’ I thought to myself.
The demon king waves his hand, the screen went from showing Davida and the others to a giant lizard hanging on the ceiling. “Look at him, enjoying himself without me,” the demon king pouted, “Hmf, I’ll teach that kid a lesson later.”

“Then, we agree?”
Both Diane and Duncan nodded their head. “Let’s go!” Duncan opened the prison cell, as soon as he did that, the trio quickly rushed to the second floor. The undead heard the trio’s movement as the Dullahan pointed its sword towards them. The zombies quickly rushed towards Davida and company, but they were cramped on the stairs. Davida then used her magic to destroy the stairs.
Then, the trio nodded towards each other before splitting up. Before, Davida, Diane and Duncan calculate the power and the abilities of the three undead that went upstairs. Davida split up towards the skeleton knight; Diane ran towards the Banshee while Duncan went after the bloated zombie.
While the commotions were going on, the little bunny hopped towards Anthony, the lizard, ignoring all the undead around it. Then, the pair of ghouls from near the entrance noticed the little bunny and tried attacking it. The little bunny looked at the pair of ghouls nonchalantly. As the pair of ghouls were about to get close, the little bunny just glanced at them. Both of the ghouls froze in the air before slowly disintegrates. The little bunny continues to hop as if nothing happened at all.
Sensing two of his powerful undead was dead, Anthony was enraged. He was about to find who the perpetrator is, but his eyes suddenly bulged out, his body shivered in fear. Anthony tried to escape, but something seemed to hold him in place. The invisible giant lizard fell down, creating a loud noise. However, because of the zombie and the other undead’s roar, Anthony falling down wasn’t heard by Davida and co.
The giant lizard wanted to close his eye, but something prevented him from doing so. From his vision, the giant lizard watched as a cute little bunny hopped towards him cutely. Sweat poured from its huge lion head, his expression terrified. “Hello Anthony, long time no speak”, the little bunny greeted through telepathy. “Sister…” the cunning giant lizard greeted back but his voice’s shaking. “How have you been? I haven’t been able to meet you all this time. I thought you were hiding from me”, the little bunny cutely smile, tilting her head.
“No, no. How could I hide from you, sister!?” Anthony nervously explained. “Is that so?” the little bunny put her tiny arm on her chin, “I thought you don’t like me anymore, so you ran away from me. This makes me, as your older sister, sad”, the little bunny adorably fake her tear. Watching the little bunny antics, the giant lizard shivered. In the past, whenever his older sister does this, she would want something from him.
Anthony once refused her sister, but his decision would turn into a life-long trauma for him. After he refuses, the little bunny’s expression turned dark, and she beat Anthony to a pulp. She would beat him every day until Anthony agree to whatever his older sister wants. After that incident, Anthony would not dare refused his older sister request.
“No, it’s not like that, sister. How can I not like you….”
“Really? You don’t hate me?”
“No, sister. I, Anthony, don’t hate you. I can promise you with my head held high.”
The little bunny’s eyes sparkle, “Really? Then, could you do something for this older sister of yours?” she pleaded. Anthony’s mouth twitched, “Of course, sister, whatever you want.” The little bunny’s face light up, “I love you, little bro!” she hopped on top of the giant lizard. “Then, what I want is….”

The demon king suddenly jolted from his throne, his expression filled with horror. “What the bloody shit!? How can she found this place?” the demon king cursed in fear. “What happened now?” I squinted my eyes as I look with disdain at the shady old man. “You don’t understand. What happens just now was like the end of the world. No, in fact, it is the end of the world. Damnit, how did I not notice her here? Who let her in? Fuck, do I need to hide again? What do I do, what do I do….” the demon king goes back and forth in front of his throne, sweat dripped from his face.
Huh, the all-black demon king can sweat? Although this black silhouette of a demon king was terrifying not too long ago, now, he looked like a wet, walking pantomime. I snickered at the terrified demon king.
“What do I do… What do I do…..”
===
Duncan arrived in front of the bloated zombie. The bloated zombie watched Duncan intensely with its murderous eyes. The bloated zombie opened its mouth and spoke, “State your name, invader!” demand the bloated zombie. Duncan frowned, squinting his eyes. ‘An undead with intelligence. This is going to be a pain,’ he thought. “What’s the matter, invader? Fear got your tongue?” the bloated zombie taunted.
Duncan kept calm amidst the bloated zombie’s provocation. Duncan opened his mouth, “Duncan Willis.” The bloated zombie nodded in approval, “Egdup, the king-slayer”, it said with dignities. “En Garde, invader!” Egdup, the king-slayer, threw his knife towards Duncan.

The skeleton knight stabbed its sword into the ground, “Why came here, red-head?” it arrogantly asked. Davida did not waste her time, as a barrage of fireballs came out of her magic circle, heading towards the arrogant skeleton knight. “Child’s play!” the skeleton knight shouted; its arm gripped the sword tight as a barrier formed in front of the skeleton knight, blocking the fireball barrage.
“You have no manner, child” the skeleton knight pulled out its sword. “Let me teaches you some!” the skeleton knight brandished its sword towards Davida as the later eyes glowed.
===
Diane arrived, finding the green banshee was lazying around in front of the prison cell. “You’re my opponent?” the green banshee lazily opened her left eye, observing Diane for a moment before closing her eyes again. “Can we not fight?” the green banshee waved her arm. “We can if you just move away from there peacefully”, Diane said with a smile.
“Hmm? You wanted me to move?” the green banshee opened her eyes.
“Yes, if you please. We could settle it peacefully.” Diane kept smiling, but her hand behind her back was gripping her staff tightly. “You wanted me to move? Are you ordering me to move? Me, to MOVE!?” the green banshee suddenly went crazy as a deathly aura rose from within her. The deathly aura from the green banshee pushed back Diane as the green banshee rose from the ground.
Diane cast a barrier, protecting herself. The green banshee scream. Her scream was so loud that Diane’s ear almost popped out. Diane quickly pulled out a little ear muff, putting them inside her ears. “Good thing I prepare”, Diane said to herself. She stabbed her staff towards the ground as vines appeared from the ground.
“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR ORDERING ME TO MOVE!” the green banshee’s aura heighten as she rushes at Diane.
