"Ahh,ahh,ahhh,this inferior Demon is quite something, I really enjoyed toying with him".While saying those words a gleam of savagery and cruelty passed and it said :
" I can't wait till the moment we meet again."Having heard his word, the three Hobgoblins frowned and the one at the front,the vice chieftain said:
" Chiieek,my lord,about that can you please do something?The demon,he seemed to hold a grudge against us can you please help us out."
Instantaneously, the spider stopped laughing and said:
"So what, is it my fault that you are so weak? Did that person made a mistake by taking you under his wing instead of those puny kobolds? Is that what you are insinuating ?" As he was questioning them,a murderous feeling arose from the spider.This wasn't something that everyone could do as only someone who has spilled so much blood can obtain such a murderous aura skill.One by one, all the goblins died and two of the Hobgoblins fainted, only the vice chieftain could stay awake.While he was sweating,the vice chieftain kowtowed and hurriedly said :
"Chieek, forgiveness,Chieek we wrong,Lord please don't kill." Under such stress,the goblins lost the ability to talk clearly and reverted to a more primitive language.The spider scoffed and desactived his skill,he turned and said
" That's right deal with it yourselves, my work here is done,bring this to your chieftain " he said as he threw a ring on the ground,he looked at the Hobgoblins for a few seconds after that he disappeared,his presence melded in the environment it was as if he was never there but his last words didn't as the vice chieftain heard them.
" it'll be fun". A chill went down his spine,these last words,it didn't like them.

The current was fast, very fast and the worst for Baaz was that he was in no situation to swim,even at full health he wasn't confident that he could swim and with his body in this state,he could only pray that the luck displayed in his status window really mattered.The water was now going at full speed and he saw that he was approaching the tip of a waterfall.Yes at one point,the river was cascading and Baaz was going to fall tens of meters down into the lake.He could only wait as in his state there was nothing he could do.His body suddenly accelerated and he found himself falling down, he crashed in the waters,his world went dark.His body touched the bottom of the pond that was formed there and rose to the surface,laying there in a scene that some would qualify of picturesque.

While Baaz laid there,unconscious, something was approaching,close to the shore,a big Spider appeared,this one had a metallic gray carapace and also had three pairs of red eyes it was a rare variant of the Albino demonic spider race,one of the middle-ranking monster of the forest.it approached the demon and was going to touch him when he heard a voice.This voice was worn out,it sounded old and tired.The spider's eyes moved here and there trying to pinpoint the location of the voice.It knew where he was,this is the cursed pond one of the forbidden ground of the Wildes.The surrondingds quieted and for a while not a mosquito was heard,He then heard it again and this time he realised.A very high level skill was being used,something that even him could not identify.An aura started spreading and everyone in a thousand mile was suppressed.The spider fell head first in the mud as two pairs of eyes opened and the voice spoke again,this time the voice was loud and everybody in the surroundings should have heard it.
" What are you doing here,little one,didn't your elders told you that the pond of the cursed is one of the forbidden place and no souls has the right to come here ."
Head buried on the ground,the spider was dying,feeling as if he was carrying the weight of the sky on its back,with a plaintive voice he talked to the voice.
"Please be merciful oh Ancient one,I was just given orders to retrieve the demon,I didn't know that such an estimed being as yourself was residing here.Had I know,never would I have come to disturb your peace."
"Then tell me,what is your▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ "the being asked
"What, are you crazy?"
the question was so outrageous that he instantly forgot all respect and fear.The pressure came back ten times stronger and he started bleeding.
And this time the voice came back,with more seriousness this time and his next words were like a decree signing his death as the aura started to gain in power .
" Here in this forest you should have known that offending someone more powerful than you is unwise,remember that lesson in you next life".
"Bu..." The spider tried to speak but he suddenly exploded unable to support this aura,and from the shadow a being appeared, majestic,an overbearing aura permeated in the land,the water in the pond suddenly became still stopping the current.
A hermit Crab,this was the being that revealed itself,it has five pairs of titanics legs, its front legs was adorned with a pair of claws that once looked at,will let anybody know that once caught it was over.Its shell was blood red and seemed so sturdy that even nuclear weapons could not pierce ,it was a walking apocalypse.It turned his head with his profound eyes watched in the distance as if it could see everything. It shook his eyes and its voice was heard again saying:
"I know you're here, and I know you have been lurking around here trying to claim this pond as yours.I see all and I know your queen would not act like that without some insurance go and tell her to report my words as such.Boy,one of the things that I don't like is shamelessness but what I despise the most is cowardice.don't try to meddle the demon in your affairs as I saw right through your scheme. "it didn't forget to flare it's aura.

In the distance,an armored spider was running at full speed,scared.He never turned his back fearing that losing one second would give this being time to change its mind.It had to report this to the clan,the forbidden pond was not as simple as they thought and that it had a guardian and while it was running a fleeting thought passed by
" maybe should we give up on the demon."
