B-rank Dungeon, Lava-lake, barren area

Several students could be seen attacking a single big lava worm:

[Mutant Lava worm: Rank- (B-)]

"Seriously, this thing is very huge!"

"Yeah! As expected of a B-rank dungeon!"

"Oy! Dodge! That lava worm is about to throw its acidic saliva!"

"Yeah!"

Looking around you could see about twelve students from various classes teaming up to fight this gigantic mini-boss-type monster.

While the students were busy fighting the monster, suddenly a spatial gate opened out of nowhere directly above the head of the lava worm, A person wearing dark black armor, with golden linings on it walked out of it, but strangely he didn't fall to the ground immediately.

Suddenly, two bat wings appeared from behind him and stabilized him in the air, a strange golden emblem could be seen on his armor's chest plate and the cape.

Seeing that all the students were surprised for a while and the place became strangely silent.

The person looked around and scanned all the students for a bit, then he said:

"Hmm, so these are the young talents of the human race, but aren't they a bit weak..." (???)

"Hey! Who are you? And why are you wearing that strange armor?!"

"Strange? Heh, so you don't even recognize the great emblem of the demon army too? It seems the human children aren't taught that well after all.." (???)

Hearing the mocking voice of the person, all the students became angered, but no one moved yet because the lava worm was still their main objective and they didn't know who this person is, to begin with.

'Are they not going to attack even after being mocked? It seems that the brain of humans and demons indeed works differently, if they were demons they would have already attacked me by now, after hearing them being mocked, at least most of the demons are short-tempered.. except those few intelligent abnormal ones, the rest are all brutes.' (???)

The prince brought out a spear from his space ring, the spear was pitch black in color too, but it had strange markings and texts written on it in red color. He stabbed his spear once in the mouth of the lava worm lightly and a huge hole opened in the body of the lava worm, not to mention the huge hole, the body of the lava worm started to get destroyed further by mysterious energy and after a while, the body of the lava worm turned into a mist of blood.

The smell of blood could smell from the air now, all the students who witnessed this were horrified out of their wits, some were so scared by seeing the insides of the monster spilling everywhere in this gruesome way, that they ended up fainting.

"H-how can that be!? T-that's a B-rank monster, H-how can.. so easily?"historical

Hearing the cries of the student, the prince looked at the fainted and scared students, he tilted his head in confusion and said:

"Eh, you are getting scared from just this? It seems that the humans pamper their children too much, don't tell me you all haven't been on a real battlefield ever?" (Prince)

'Well, demons don't even care about their children, to begin with and since their such structure like a permanent family in lower ranking demons all the demon children are left to survive for themselves since birth..' (Prince)

"Now that the distraction is out of our way, we can have a fight in peace, all of you come at me with your full strength, let's fight to the death!" (Prince)

The prince did say that, but not a single person moved a little bit after hearing his words:

'What? Did they not hear me? This is odd.. each of the battlefields I have been to, no enemy would wait so long, and would have attacked several times by now, if it were demons they would have been ready to fight to the death with honor.. could it be! That all of these human kids are cowards and don't even have the honor to fight!?' (Prince)

After reaching this strange conclusion in his head, the prince shook his head a little and then pointed his spear toward the humans:

"It seems you all are cowards, I can't let such cowards like you live, it would be a disgrace to this world, let me free this world from your cowardly existence!" (Prince)

After saying that, the prince moves instantly, his speed is too fast and only his afterimages could be seen by the students before anyone could have reacted all the students ended up having huge hole in their chests which were still increasing and destroying their bodies thoroughly.

"Hmph, it seems not a single one of them is strong enough to even face an 'intermediate demon'.. Actually I think they might actually have to struggle to fight a lower ranking demon too.." (Prince)

"Tch, humans sure are more pathetic than I was originally expecting.. if all of them are so weak then perhaps the holder of that fragment might be a weakling too.." (Prince)

After saying that the prince left in a random direction to find the holder of the fragment.

Waterfall area.

"Oh! Look Lia! This waterfall is so beautiful and even the water is extremely clear here!" (Riya)

"Indeed, this place is extremely beautiful, if it existed in the outside world it would have been a good tourist spot.." (Lia)

"When I go back I would tell Link how beautiful this waterfall is, look that flower there is so beautiful!" (Riya)

"W-wait don't run away, it could be dangerous!" (Lia)

"No need to worry, it's just a flower!" (Riya)

Just as Riya was about to grab the flower, the ground split apart and a huge mouth appeared from the ground:

[Body Strengthening!]

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Flowing divinity!]

The vast mouth was destroyed in just a few strikes, and the whole plant collapsed directly on the ground. The flower Riya wanted turned out to be a bait set by a plant monster trying to lure food for itself. Although this is a lame trap that wouldn't work on intelligent ones, every once in a while some idiots gets caught as its food though.

Lia jumped and caught Riya who was blown in the air by the impact of the appearance of the plant monster and safely landed on the ground.

Riya slowly opened her eyes which were tightly shut from fear and found that she was being held in the princess style by Lia. Stars appeared in Riya's eyes:

"Oh, thank you, Lia! You are so cool! As expected of the rumored Mad Demon swor-" (Riya)

Before Riya could complete her sentence properly, she was tossed away by Lia, and fell on the ground with a bang.

"Ow! That hurts!" (Riya)

"It should! How can you be so careless, have you lost your mind!? No healer would leave the protection of a warrior so recklessly like you! What would have happened if something happened to you, idiot!..." (Lia)

Hearing non-stop nagging of Lia, Riya stuck out her tongue and tried to play cute in order to get forgiven, but that actually pissed Lia even more:

"Hah! Playing cute won't work on me! I have seen someone else do that many times already you know!" (Lia)

"Eeek! Scary! As expected of the mad dem-" (Riya)

"Don't call me with that weird name! and next time you run off by yourself, I am gonna feed you to a lava worm!" (Lia)

"N-no I don't want to be eaten by such a disgusting thing.." (Riya)

"Then keep following me without causing trouble!" (Lia)

"Okay, Master" (Riya)

"I am not your master!" (Lia)

.

In a hidden corner, behind a huge rock near the waterfall

"Hmm, it seems one of them is easy prey, but that golden woman is strong.." (???)

"Heh, looks like today's prey is going to be better than my usual prey.." (???)

"Interesting.." (???)

After taking a last look the individual left the place..

Author's Note:

Question of the day:

If given the chance which race would you like to reincarnate into:

1. Human (Just average and the same lifestyle you have now, but would have to contribute to society to live properly. Like become an awakener and protect others or become an ordinary salary man, etc.)

2. Demon (Become strong oppress all, live in the endless fighting environment, and have an infinite adventure life. But would be the enemy of every race in the world, forget about long-range attacks and forget about going to heaven in the afterlife.)

3. Dragon (Roam free in the skies, enjoy the leisurely and free life. But get hunted by literally every race except elves for treasure you possess.)

4. Elf (Having a long life would give you the chance to be close to nature. But would not have many methods to attack and fighting close range might just be impossible.)

5. Others (Tell in the comments)

By the way, don't forget to use those power stones and also leave a review if you like the story. Comment your opinion about the chapter. Your support is my motivation.

Personally, my choice is Dragon, just because I want to roam the skies without any mortal problems binding me, I would like to experience how it would feel to use a dragon's breath.
