Origin Of Evil 27 Cave

But it looks like today wasn't their day. Dorian stepped down in the darkness, descending the stairs. Actually, once he was in he could see a little, but even his vision was severally undermined.

He helped the others down the stairs, and led the way. They formed a line by holding hands as to make sure they wouldn't lose anyone.

The tunnel wasn't very long, and soon they saw light again. They followed it until they reached a strange place. It was an enormous grotto that was plunging deep into the earth. The whole cave was bathed in a strange green light that seemed to chill everyone.

At the entrance of the grotto, Dorian spotted Kevin and Natasha were on the ground. He quickly joined them and was relieved to see they were simply unconscious. With a little shake they woke up with a gasp.

After quickly calming them down, Dorian asked "What happened?" Kevin looked pretty shaken but Natasha was able to answer him "We discovered this cave, and searched a bit… Until we were attacked."

Dorian frowned and asked "Who attacked you?" This time, Kevin replied, still looking afraid "Demons! It was demons!"

Dorian rolled his eyes and looked at Natasha, but saw that she wasn't denying, but instead said "They attacked us and took Rose and Leon away."

Dorian shook his head and said "Whoever they were, we need to find them now. Though, I wonder what this cave could possibly be…"

He looked at the ones behind who were slowly catching up and said "Take care of the two of them, I will go search for Rose and Leon."

The others didn't object, they were already too scared to advance any more. After all, hearing that demons were ahead, they wouldn't just go sacrifice their life meaninglessly.

They tried holding Dorian back, but quickly understood they wouldn't be able to do it.

So Dorian ran down the cave alone, following the path that looked man-made. As he made his way down, Dorian couldn't help but admire the beautiful sight created by the color of the air, mixed with the light emitted by the different gems on the walls.

It didn't take long for Dorian to reach the bottom of the cave, and how surprised was he by what he saw. The bottom of the cave was actually a big pond, with mystical orange water.

On the water, was a platform on which an altar was erected. Below the altar, Dorian could see both Leon and Rose, the two were currently being tied by four strange creatures.

They looked humanoid, but the skin they exposed was red, they had claws instead of hands and had two horns on their foreheads. Dorian now understood why they had been called demons earlier.

He didn't know what they were up to, but Dorian knew that he couldn't let them do whatever they wanted to do with Rose and Leon.

So he activated [Fade] and entered Sneak mode, quickly approaching the group.

No one was able to see him approach until he broke the neck of one of demons. The three remaining ones looked at him in fury, and Dorian was shocked by their eyes.

They had no pupil, all Dorian could see was a flame in their eyes. He felt his control over his body leave him and he entered a strange place, a dark place.

Suddenly, a light appeared, because a big flame lit up in the sky. But the surroundings still looked as dark as before for Dorian…

Dorian was suddenly exiled from this s.p.a.ce as he felt something hit his chest, and send him flying. He barely had the time to see that one of the demons had hit him before he hit the ground, pain wrecking his chest.

Apart from the pain, Dorian felt shock. He had 16 of Vitality after all, it shouldn't be easy for a normal human to hurt him this much, lest sending him flying.

Dorian got up but this time did not look at them in the eyes. Looked at their feet, Dorian started rus.h.i.+ng at the three demons.

As he approached them quickly, Dorian noticed that the three seemed to take a step forward, preparing for an attack.

Dorian waited for a short moment, before rolling down. Dorian stopped in front of one of the demons and punched its knee, forcing it to kneel, and broke his neck too, before rolling away.

But as he did so he heard someone say "Wow Wow Wow! Calm down! Stop it!" Dorian stopped moving in confusion but kept looking at their feet, as he didn't trust them one bit.

One of the remaining demons said with a human voice "Why are you attacking us? We didn't attack you!"

Dorian scoffed "Those two are with me, you attacked them. Hand them over and I won't kill you." The other demon said "Why are you so violent, let's talk this out… We don't have to always resort to violence you know?"

Dorian could almost feel the demon roll its eyes as it said that. Dorian gritted his teeth and said "What are you demons trying to do?"

The first demon said with an offended tone "We aren't demons! You humans truly are the most racist race, along with the elves. We are Sadunites, not demons! We serve the great G.o.d of Fire, Sardun, not that evil devil."

Dorian frowned and said "I don't care what race you are from, you tried to bewitch me just now!"

The second demon, no Sadunite, said "Man, you just killed our friend! Of course we will retaliate! You humans really are the worst sc.u.ms this world has to offer. First you are always waging wars among yourselves, you invade our mountains, you even profane the G.o.ds themselves!" the last sentence was said with a spit.

Dorian didn't know what to say, it seemed humans really were sc.u.ms in this world. But he still said "It's not my fault, you are the ones who abducted my friends!"

The first Sadunite said "Alright, that's not leading us anywhere. We give you back your friends, and you leave us alone, alright?"

Dorian frowned and asked "Why should I believe you?" The Sadunite replied "We were about to offer those two humans to the great Sardun, but now that you killed those two we can just offer them, so we don't have any use for those two humans."

Dorian pondered before saying "Only if you let me watch your offering to the G.o.ds. And tell me about that thing you did to me."

The second Sadunite replied with a sigh "You humans are even greedier than the Dwarfs… Alright, bring those two away, we will be waiting for you."

Dorian asked "Won't the two of you do anything? I just killed your friends." The first Sadunite laughed "Of course not, we would rather become your friend than your enemy. And Gu always ate everything, that dumb pig…"

The two started talking bad about the two dead Sadunites, so Dorian ignored them and approached the two teenagers, on guard against any movement from the two.

Only once he took the two away from the altar did Dorian relax and start bringing the two up the cave.

This time it took him a little longer to go up the cave because of the two he had to carry, but he still joined the others in under five minutes.

Once he arrived they flocked toward him, but before they could say anything Dorian said "Take care of those two, and go back home, the danger has been eliminated. Don't speak of this to anyone."

Natasha tried to say "But we must…" However, before she could finish her sentence Dorian took out all his equipment from his Spatial Bag. They looked in shock because they didn't expect Dorian to take out so many things from such a tiny bag. But they didn't recognize the things he took out though.

Dorian quickly put on everything on him, returning to his cold Butcher persona as he said with a deep voice "No. One. Shall. Know. Understood?"
