Against All Odds || Ryeji FF

Chapter 13

The thought of the demon killing mortals almost every second worries the eight but the fact that he's been silent since who knows when makes them more anxious.

They were all trekking in all corners of the city for countless clues and traces. Well, except for one.

"Hey. Think your horse can handle another one?" Chaeryeong asked as she held on to the saddle of Felix's white horse.

Well, that's one of the perks of being a cavalry. It's efficient for fighting and traveling at the same time.

Together with his white turtleneck cloak, he looked like a prince that came straight out of a fairytale, making the others gaze at him with awe because of how majestic he looks.

"Hmm... Nah. I don't think Bbok can handle another person on his back." He replied in such a sarcastic tone before making his horse go forward by whipping his martingale.

The fox-faced angel just grumbled. "I'm not a person!" She yelled as the freckle-faced angel was already in the distance.

With that, she turned to the cat-faced angel's direction, who apparently is a hundred percent being cautious of her surroundings.

"The demon's not here. Maybe he gave up already." She said, wiping off the sweat on her forehead.

"You cannot be swayed by the disappearance of the red dots on the map. This might be more dangerous." Yeji then replied.

Chaeryeong did not bother arguing anymore and just walked beside the dominion. She would find herself staring at the tall girl who's walking beside Ryujin from time-to-time but wavered it off as she, too, would sometimes see Yuna looking at her.

Ryujin on the other hand was about to turn around and speak to the high-ranking angel when a familiar shout was heard.

"Everyone! Come here!" The freckle-faced angel called as he found something peculiar.

The seven then rushed towards the male angel's location, passing by the short-haired demon who was in the very front earlier.

She just pursed her lips as she was startled by how fast the angels as well as her companions ran towards where Felix's voice was heard.

She once again failed to talk to the dominion when she planned on doing so as soon as Yeji landed.

They all came across a wall with vandalism. "Vos omnes non capere me." Was written in what seemed like red spray paint with a pentacle after the words.

"You all can't catch me." Yeji and Ryujin said at the same time, making the other six look at them.

"You can understand Latin?" Chaeryeong suddenly asked, looking at the short-haired demon.

She was taken aback as who would really know and learn a dead language?

Ryujin then thought of a counter as quick as possible for their cover not to blow. "I-It's a hobby of m-mine. Y-You know? Learning d-different lang-languages."

Her friends were suppressing their laughs instead of helping her out, receiving a glare from her after speaking.

The angels seemed satisfied with her answer and didn't bother about it anymore instead of one, who's still highly suspicious of the group of friends.

Felix then moved closer to the text vandalized on the wall and smelled it, making him flinch and show a disgusted face to them. "That's definitely blood! And it's fresh!"
