10. Dream Sucks

"Tsk, sad," commented Kyeo shortly after his second prey died. He then sniffed the fishy smell of fresh blood that filled his right hand with pleasure. Satisfied to be more precise, because he had succeeded in killing.

The fishy smell of blood could always captivate him, no matter how far the source of the blood was, Kyeo would still come to him while there was no obstacle. The bat demon will still come happily when approaching any unlucky prey to meet him that day, and they will end up as a toy from the cruel devil.

See? How good is the devil to take the death of his victims with his own hands. So, they don't have to bother asking about their uncertain death.

Kyeo felt proud that he had escorted those humans to the realm of the dead. The bat demon felt, he was like a god of death, but in his own way and it was really fun.

The demon in the form of a human with an 18-year-old cone then changed his sitting style, trying to make himself comfortable. Sitting cross-legged with both hands resting on the thighs, as if in the position of an ascetic seeking inner calm.

The expression on the bat demon's face was serious. He is currently thinking of a way to be free from the prison that has imprisoned him for a long time. For an indefinite amount of time how long had passed around him.

The devil certainly didn't like his current state, completely helpless, there wasn't much he could do while there. The devil wanted to destroy the cage made from the miko's spiritual energy, but he knew the risks. He was not that daring to let his body burn with holy energy.

Kyeo could die again because of it, and now ... what else should the devil behave?

Wouldn't it be good for him to be able to recover and get revenge by staying there for hundreds of years? It was an excellent idea, if only his strength was fine this time.

However, this is different from the self-healing that the devil usually does. In fact, Kyeo was now in a place filled with pure holy energy. Obviously it's dangerous. Kyeo might disappear forever from the face of this earth, if he dared to break the seal on the entrance.

There are many considerations the bat demon has to do. He often thinks and remembers what he can do while in his prison. It doesn't really matter, but for Kyeo it all torments him.

The devil longs for freedom, he longs for the outside world to give him pleasure. Kyeo longs for fighting with demons in the forest, or arguing with other members of the demon kingdom. Suddenly the bat demon remembered the atmosphere of the World of the Dead ever since he was captured by the humans.

There, the plan was for the coronation of a prince of the World of the Dead. Of course Kyeo couldn't attend, because he was already imprisoned at that time.

At the very least, the demon called the great Kōmori knew who would be the candidates for the coronation, and would become the next prince of the World of the Dead.

There is a cat demon who is known for his cunning, the Nekomata who likes to grin for no reason. There is also another candidate, and Kyeo still doesn't understand the purpose of the king of the World of the Dead to appoint this demon to be a prince, while this one demon doesn't show his crimes.

However, Kyeo had to admit, this second candidate was far superior to Nekomata, the cat demon. He was fast, strong and courteous, the kinds of attitudes that the demons of the Dead World shouldn't have.

He is the Onigama, a demon with a strange personality which Kyeo thinks is very unnatural. Even so, Onigama had great respect for the rest of the kingdom, including the princes of the World of the Dead. Kyeo was quite close to him, because Onigama always greeted him properly.

It's just ... that demon always acts like a human. He was friendly, smiling and too polite.

Remembering the future prince of the Dead World makes the bat demon yearn for his kingdom. Did anything happen while he was locked up? Was there something she had missed?

Kyeo really wants to know everything he doesn't know so far. The devil hopes to get out of that annoying place.

Kyeo, who was again unsatisfied with his position, immediately threw himself on the floor. Strands of white hair scattered around his body which was not wrapped in cloth. The bodies of devils in human form are flawless indeed. So perfect, beautiful and sculpted like porcelain.

However, not all devils have human forms. Those who could transform into humans were only demons of noble bloodlines, or royal families. According to Kyeo, Onigama belongs to the noble lineage, because he already has his own human form.

As for the original form, the demons — no exception, noble or not — had different forms from one another. Only one common characteristic of them, large in shape beyond the human house.

All demons are always proud of their true form. It shows that their strength is based on their true appearance. This also applies to Kyeo.

His original form, which is in the form of a giant bat, makes it easier for him to prey on humans. Speed, agility and strength. Kyeo is very grateful for having such an extraordinary appearance. He can fly at will in the sky, while selecting potential victims for prey. There was no limit to the number of victims for the bat demon.

According to Kyeo, it's more fun to be a bat than to be a bird. Except for the eagle. If the devil could choose his final form, he would have chosen an eagle or a more agile animal.

Like ... a monkey perhaps? Kyeo then laughed. It was impossible for him to choose the same form as the leader of the World of the Dead.

After all, Yamasuke would certainly not have agreed if his men chose the original form that resembled him. It is enough that he has the original form of a lively monkey. Yamasuke did not need a human body shape, for him it was not necessary.

However, the leader of the World of the Dead invites royal members or demon lords to have his own human form. Kyeo chuckled, how kind-hearted the Demon King of the Dead was, but Kyeo didn't like Yamasuke.

On the one hand, the demon monkey's policy is beneficial, on the one hand, it is detrimental. Unfortunately for the lowly demons who did not have the chance to transform into humans. Kyeo regretted that a little.

Not without reason the bat demon thought like that. Of course Kyeo has to open his mind as a royal member who cares about the fate of the inhabitants of the world where he has lived since he was reborn into the world.

Again, the devil felt uncomfortable in his position. Kyeo changed his style once again. This time, he lay straight, staring at the ceiling of the cage where he was.

The devil was sure, the humans who had caught him would have sealed him forever in that place. Somehow, just imagining it can make it uncomfortable to be there. Kyeo really longs for freedom.

"I have to get out of this place," he whispered angrily. The devil seemed to be biting his fingernails impatiently. "I'm going crazy over here! I want to get out!"

"Damn it!" said Kyeo again.

There must be! There will definitely be a way for her to break free, no matter how long it takes her to get out of that place.

Whether it has to wait ten, hundred or even thousands of years, Kyeo will continue to wait for the time of his freedom. How fine it would be if it was only for a moment, the devil thought between his reveries.

"Tch! I will repay all those trash humans' actions!" The devil said in a furious tone. He was anxious and felt like going berserk at that moment. Over and over again he swore, over and over again he found the fact that he could not get out of there.

"I'm tired here! Damn it!"

Kyeo was forced to give up for now only, so he had a chance to leave there and get his revenge against humans. The bat demon's pointed fingernails were itching so much, Kyeo was about to feel the fresh blood from humans again.

How the devil wanted to get out of there.

Kyeo took a deep breath. He then closed his eyes. For a while, let him wait for time to pass quickly, so that he can breathe again his air of freedom.

For now, he should just dive into the world of dreams. Who knows, when he wakes up, he will be out of jail.

***

In a wide field of grass, Kyeo sat alone in the middle. The devil with golden yellow eyes didn't know what to do other than uprooting the nearby plants with such a serious expression.

Kyeo didn't understand why he had to pull out the grass, but it felt like something was pushing him to pull out the green grass that was disturbing his bare feet.

"KYAAA!"

Kyeo reflexively looked up, the grasslands that had previously been around him changed places with dense trees. The devil is now in the forest. Kyeo really doesn't understand, why is he suddenly moving to a foreign forest?

"You go, Youkai!"

A woman's scream disturbed the bat demon's hearing. Kyeo chose to ignore it by crouching down and scribbling the ground with his long fingers. Didn't feel that the scream that he had heard was important.

"Help me!"

A loud scream with the same female voice came back. Kyeo didn't really care about the source of the cry for help. To be honest, the devil didn't even know where the voice was coming from. However, unexpectedly by him, his body suddenly moved on its own without his command.

Kyeo stood up, then quickly ran into the deepest part of the forest. The devil's expression showed obvious concern, he was clearly confused by the reflexes of his own body.

When the bat demon arrived at the source of the screams he had heard earlier, there was a girl in a white, knee-length dress who was surrounded by several rhino demons.

Again, Kyeo's body moved on its own, his hands quickly extended and turned into two swords. The demon immediately ran towards the lowly demons who were harassing human girls.

Kyeo slashed all the rhinoceros demon with his two hands which had turned into a very sharp sword. There was absolutely nothing left of these disturbing creatures. Thanks to their agility and strength, the rhino demon bodies scattered on the ground.

Secretly, Kyeo felt proud. He is invincible.

"KYAAA! HELP ME!"

Kyeo hurriedly turned around, and immediately chuckled in annoyance. "Tsk, that damn bird!" he cursed when he saw the human girl had been taken away by a black bird demon.

With a body that seemed to have its own power, Kyeo then took out his majestic bat wings. Only the two wings, without changing his physique into his true form.

Kyeo was chasing the crow at full speed, his hand was ready to cut the demon's head if his intentions were unknown to him.

The crow demon dodged quickly and made Kyeo furious.

"You dare me ... lowly creature!" Kyeo said coldly. He will be very serious now.

After fighting that lasted for a while, and fighting because the raven demon kept dodging every attack the bat demon brought at him, Kyeo was finally able to defeat the black haired demon.

Kyeo managed to cut the demon's body into two parts.

Spontaneously, the human girl who was gripped by the giant crow's feet was released and fell downward.

Panic immediately engulfed the girl with the dense black coat, as her body drew closer to the ground. "PLEASE!" shouted the girl one more time. Kyeo squealed as his body moved on its own, and darted down a steep dive to save a human girl.

Once Kyeo grabbed the girl's clothes, the devil easily grabbed her and took her in his arms before the girl could hit the ground. In his heart, Kyeo had a chance to comment on how heavy the girl was.

Kyeo, who was carrying the girl without a bridal style name, immediately went downstairs, returning the girl to earth. The girl then looked up, while Kyeo looked down to see the human form she had saved for no reason.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment.

Just when the two of them had arrived to the ground, the girl who had round eyes with black irises smiled. Before suddenly his face turned red because he realized the nudity of the savior.

Kyeo looked at him with a strange look. "Why?" asked the devil while whispering softly in front of the girl's blushing face. Kyeo's body moved on its own again, getting closer to the girl.

The face of the unnamed girl looked like ripe tomatoes ready to be picked, so red and looking sweet. Kyeo again frowned, the devil felt uncomfortable with the human behavior in his arms.

"Y-you pervert." Kyeo put on a strange expression when the thin lipped girl looked at him and called it ... what was that? Nasty? Seriously!

"You pervert! Get away from me!"

PAK!

Kyeo immediately woke up from his sleep. His breath was wheezing irregularly. The demon was shocked, what's with the dream ?! It was unusual for a devil to dream, and again ... why did he have to dream about annoying humans like that ?!

"Tch! Stupid girl ... what's pervert !?" Kyeo chuckled irritably when he remembered. That dream really feels real, and it really makes Kyeo feel sick.

Especially about the annoying act he suddenly did to save the unknown girl. Kyeo chuckled again, how could he save humans even if only through a dream that somehow felt real

The devil then thought, this must be the effect of being locked up for too long, he has become crazy.

Kyeo ruffled his long mane several times in annoyance. Next time, he didn't want to dream anymore. The reason was definitely because of the human girl who dared to slap him.

"Don't know manners. After being saved, that human even called me a pervert. You stupid girl!" the devil chanted before lying back on the floor.

His eyes stared at the ceiling of the cage. The dream was really strange. Kyeo could even feel the flutter on the girl's chest with round eyes, and her bright red face.

Foreign dreams and figures. Kyeo didn't want to see her anymore, especially the strange girl who called him a pervert.
