Chapter 463: Alros Vs Hero I
By the time the Holy Explosion ended, only a large crater remain with the Hero inside of it. The Hero breathed loudly, slightly exhausted form the burst of energy before taking out a Stamina and Mana Potion to replenish herself.

After she finished recovering, the blonde head out, looking around. What she sway devastated her.
'N-no.' she choked, strangled voice escaping as she looked at the corpses of her subordinates. From the looks of it, none survived.
Hot tears trailed on her cheeks as she weep. Unfortunately, monsters lack certain decency and began moving towards her.
"C-can't you see I am mourning here!?" she yelled as a strong slash severed the remaining monsters as she let out a powerful aura, one only S-rank beings could unleash.
It was enough to scare them off, the monsters fleeing for their life, heading back to Lunos Forest. Leaving the Hero alone to weep for her lost companions and friends.

"We manage to get her to grieve, and likely angry as well." Luen reported. Alros nodded as his eyes fell on their captives. Unlike what the Hero thought, none of the 100 of her companions lose their life.
However, they will lose a portion of their sanity, common sense, and decency. All in exchange for depravity and lust.
"Will you have your fun with them first, Master?" the Elder Witch asked him. Alros shook his head, to her surprise.
"I would love to, but the Hero would be heading into the forest, and I can't have her finding the people of Astor Kingdom, or worse, Lunisa." Luen only nodded, knowing the Hero finding them could lead to a disaster.
The only way to prevent the disaster is to force her into a fight with the Archdemon, though it would not be a fair one.

"Where are you!?" Mirna growled, her tone overwhelming filled with hatred. Considering she just lost her best friend and all of her subordinates, no one could blame her, if they were still alive.
"Come here so I can kill you!?" she yelled, letting out her grievance and rage, not expecting to get any result out of it.
However, what happened next surprise her.
"Oh, so you are the one send by the Ho-" before he could finish his sentence, the Hero slashed at him, stopping him from opening his mouth.
For 10 seconds.
"Wow, calm down fo-" another slash aimed at his neck, which would likely result to a certain death.
"I will calm down when I get your head and burn your body for my dead companions." she did not yell, but the growl at the end send shivers down his spine.
'Looks like provoking her is too effective.' he thought to himself, wondering if he might have been provoking her too much.
'However, I will use anything I have to defeat her!' there is no other option for him really, other than death that is, and he did plan on doing so, not after he living once more.
His thought was derailed when the Hero began attacking him, slashing at a rapid pace that it was hard to avoid them.
Alros growled as he focus on dodging, his ability detecting the movement of the Hero, allowing him to dodge the attack.
And while he could block one of the attack with his arms, encased with scales, the Holy Magic of the Hero would break through his defense, killing him by the end of it.
'I need to focus on evasive maneuver!' worrieldly thinking of it while moving, Alros did his best to not get hit, as doing so would hurt alot, and creating a barrier would consume mana that would easily be cut by the Hero's magic.
And so, Alros was forced to dodge the attack, each one becoming dangerously closer with each failed attempt.
'At this rate, she will hit me!' realizing the truth, Alros think of a way to avoid being hit but it was not easy with how powerful and fast a Hero is.
The only reason for him to not being hit at all because of him being a Pseudo S-ranker.
"You should be slower, demon." she spat out, her tone filled with hate, "so I can cut of your neck." another attack came too close, causing him to gasp in pain as a cut appear on his skin.
"It's look like time for me to escape!" he yelled before making a run, or fly for it in his case.
"Come back here!" the Hero yelled, as she tried to chase after him and unleashing several light slashes. Dodging all of it, Alros thought he was on the clear when the Hero decided to prove he was wrong.
"Woah!" a thread made out of light wrapped around his ankle, preventing him from flying way faster as the Hero began pulling, her strength greater than expected.
Growling, Alros did his best to get away, even trying to cut the thread. No such luck as the thread did not break.
'Is this some kind of magic to bind demonic creature?' Alros thought finding the answer to be likely as there is no other reason for him to not be able to cut the thread.
Thankfully, as he was pulled closer, there are several trick up his sleeve, literally.
"Go!"
"Wha-!" the Hero yelled as several Leeches, Spiders, and Mosquitoes jump at her. All of the Bugs he send had the ability to enter drain Mana or Energy of their target.
While it is unlikely to do much against her, it would buy him some much needed time to escape. As she was distracted, the Archdemon escaped, leaving the Hero to kill the monsters before turning towards his, rage in her blue eyes.
-x-
"It escaped." Mirna exclaimed loudly, annoyed but still expected by her. There is no way for a leader of so many Archdemon to waltz towards her with no plan at all, though she could not understand the reasoning for doing so.
As she pondered why, she detected the mark she left on the Archdemon moving, allowing a small smile to form on her beautiful face.
