DxD: Shadow Monarch

—----------------

Chapter- 45

—----------------

Even though I don't know what the actual demons look like in this universe but from my perspective she looks more like a human to me

Not to mention protecting a child, who has no connection with her, such a thing which the devil will never do 

As well as she also said that she would come back after finding the thing she is looking for here, I think she was afraid to tell me probably because she thought that I will accuse her of running away

But Do I look like that kind of person in her eyes? Well maybe I should be nicer from now then maybe my image will improve in her mind otherwise she will never be going to trust me

"This planet is dying because someone is stealing life source from this planet's core itself," I said this as I decided to tell her what was happening here and trying to gain her trust first in the process too

"But why and who is capable of doing this?" She asked this as she looked towards me with her silver eyes, as the child also looked at me with her big red eyes

"Probably whoever is doing this is trying to create more creatures like these," I asked as I looked in the direction of the castle which we are currently heading to

As I continue "And whoever is doing this is in that castle"

Both of them looked in the direction of the castle as I said this, meanwhile, I also closed my eyes and checked the things in other location

Even if enemies are weak doesn't mean I should let my guard down even for a second, no matter how small the danger is

Also, I don't want this planet to die because the planet I am currently on is also dead and It's horrible

And as long as life on the planet exists then there always be the birth of new species but if the life force of a planet dies then it's nothing but a giant Boulder like my current planet where my cas- I mean home is built 

And in worse cases, planets could have even exploded which I also have seen it when I was exploring the planets near my place but luckily sizes of those planets were so small that they couldn't able to affect my place much as well as I and my shadow army also protected our place from all the aftermath of those explosions 

Well back to the present, I don't want that to happen to this or any other living place, it is nothing but a disaster and I am guessing this creature is using some kind of device to suck the life force and using to increase its military force as well as its strength 

I opened my eyes after confirming that Beru, igris and everyone is doing fine, well actually mostly work is done by Beru because he is too excited others are just standing there seeing Beru causing a… massacre without any break

After I opened my eyes the first thing I saw is Grayfia back as her wings were covered in ice, *sigh* how can I forget about that

I quickly brought my hand very near her as sensing this, she flinched and tried to take a few steps back but before she could even move

I grab her hand and restraint her movements as I close my eyes and concentrate on healing her whole body 

As I opened my eyes I saw the ice on her wings break into a million wings as her wounds also healed up making her brand new but her face is red for some reason could be because …. of my energy? But the previous time she was fine 

I ignored this for now since there were more important things to do than this while I next looked towards the girl beside Grayfia

Since her condition was also rough I moved my hand towards her slowly trying to not make her scared but to my surprise, she didn't even try to evade or even flinch from my hand 

As I touched her head I healed her completely within a few seconds, after completing the process I withdrew my hand but before withdrawing I didn't forget to pet her head for a few moments

"Thank you," Grayfia said in a low voice but to my ears it was loud and clear as I turned towards her

Her face is back to normal, I guess she has recovered from her red face, well it's good since we almost reached the castle too

When I turned towards the castle direction, I felt someone tugging my clothes I turned back to see the girl grabbing my clothed

"...Thank you…" She said this even though the sound got smaller with every word but still, it was clear to my ears, I couldn't help but smile at this girl… no I mean Aria

But I have to say her current appearance looks like a lost child who doesn't know where to go? which is true after all not only her mother but also all the people here is also gone too 

I couldn't help but feel sympathy because even for a normal child it will be devastating to lose her/his parent but here she not only lost her parent but also her all people

The really worrying issue is what will happen after all when this all is over, right now the only thing in her mind that keeps her occupied is the revenge

Even though the word revenge is not small for a child but such circumstances can also make a child mature early

And after her revenge is over, there will be nothing but emptiness in her since she has nothing to live for

It's better to take her out of here after this is over than help her to find her objective for living but of course, that will only happen if she agrees to go with us

I patted her head after putting all my thoughts in my mind as I focused on our path

*cries in pain*

Various creatures tried to block our way but they only died miserably since I already ordered my shadow ants to protect us, even though kaisel is enough but still I don't wanna take the risk since it's better to be cautious
