Thud.

Thud.

Crack.

Again and again, Neave brought his foot down on a demon’s head.

"Shit! Fuck!"

It was necessary to maintain total composure in front of the others. He had even told them that this was a ‘good thing’ and that whatever came out of it would only be a positive, a challenge they could use to better themselves.

As if things were that simple.

He had spent likely hours chasing after the demons, trying to find the one that had taken the abominid, but to no avail. They were far too scattered, and the countless directions they could have gone in made it practically impossible to track them down.

Truthfully, both Astrador and the demons were a tremendous problem. Although rather intelligent when powerful, monsters didn’t scheme the way people did. With them, usually, things were relatively simple. They chased powerful prey and consumed them to grow.

It was a straightforward, simple, and predictable behavior—if pretty absolute in its apocalyptic nature. But the simplicity made the challenge something he could control and work around. This was why he wanted to populate the nightmare realm with monsters.

It was also the big reason why he kept them contained for now.

Not only that, but he had been planning on gradually expanding the territory of monsters while keeping the outside world entirely cut off. It was too risky otherwise. The demons had shown themselves far more intelligent and organized than he had initially assumed.

Their powers were beyond his understanding, and why they went after a monster was unknown. But it couldn’t possibly be good.

Coupled with the assassination plot by Astrador… Things were heading in a bad direction. He didn’t fear for himself.

But the others?

If that intruder had chosen to jump one of them, there would have been no way to save them. How the hell did that kid even appear out of thin air? There was no indication of his appearance, not a single thing he could feel, even with his insane perception.

He presented the idea of the intruder exploding upon death jokingly to the others, but he feared that might have been a possibility. If not that, Astrador could be using some other random god thing to curse him or whatever.

The best he could do in that situation was to throw that kid back out. He felt dirty doing it. What would Astrador do to him for his failure? It was strange to sympathize with someone who was after your life just a few hours ago. But he felt for anyone who fell victim to Astrador’s manipulation.

As Dukean had said, though.

Owners of life own the death.

Even if he had decided to kill the intruder, the blame would have fallen on the scummy bastard who had sent him here.

But that didn’t stop the situation from souring Neave’s mood. If anything, it made it even worse.

That piece of work was on the move, and now the demons were as well. He didn’t know what Astrador was capable of, and he had no idea what the demons even were, let alone who commanded or controlled them.
