The group of demons ran at their top speed through the complicated tunnels previously prepared to flee. As they traversed these paths, some of them shifted, and gasses were also used to clean their tracks.
Dyrathos frowned. "Is somebody following us?"
Kyril spoke coldly. "Most probably. That dragon has powerful trackers. If we don't speed up and enter the short-range teleportation formation we set up, we will be in trouble."
Another demon asked. "Will that work?"
Kyril stayed silent for a few seconds. "We can only hope so."
In truth, Kyril has been feeling a premonition all this time. She was a Demon with high mastery over the Death attribute, so her senses towards danger and deadly situations were very sharp. Coming to this world was a mistake in the first place. 'The energy fluctuation was too strong. It was clear that whatever caused it was something above our limits. We got overconfident because it was a remote place with a Mortal Ranked Heaven.'
She was as confident as the Demons back in her world. Moreover, she never really put the Divines in her eyes. However, since she met Yasenia, her entire perspective shifted.
Kyril actually planned the first attempts at Yasenia's life from the Demon's side. She knew that if she didn't eliminate her, things would go south quickly.
Sadly, Kyril couldn't act with complete freedom because the Divines were in the World, and the Spirits somehow allied with Yasenia.
As things advanced, Kyril's perspective shifted, and she wanted to take a more peaceful and political approach. To her surprise, Dyrathos already hated Yasenia to his guts because she killed one of them the first time they met.
After that, things just went from bad to worse, reaching their current situation.
Dyrathos looked at the silent and somewhat calm Kyril and spoke. "I should've listened to you more."
Kyril didn't answer. Dyrathos sighed. "Tell me the truth. How likely are we to survive?"
Kyril spoke. "If we reach the teleportation formation, 10%."
Hearing that the probability of surviving after reaching the formation, which was their best bet, made Dyrathos realize that they were at the end of their rope. "And if we don't reach the formation?"
Kyril looked forward and didn't answer. However, her silence was telling that there was no future to talk about.
Dyrathos gritted his teeth, and his twelve wings flapped. "Speed up!"
Not far from them, the maids continued to cover the terrain and close the distance. Doriel's eyes glowed ominously as she looked around, feeling the soul of the Demons getting closer.
Escaping from Doriel's tracking was almost impossible without soul skills. Without being able to change the aura of their souls, the result was already decided.
After five more minutes, Doriel appeared in a clearing and said through their communication channel. 'Found them.'
A few kilometers ahead, Doriel could see the faint auras the Demon's souls left behind.
Dyrathos suddenly felt a Spiritual Sense sweep their area, and his heart chilled. "We need to go faster," he said. One of the demons who had not reached the Arch level stuttered. "S-Senior Brother, we can't go faster."
Dyrathos didn't look back, and the next instant, Kyril, Dyrathos, and the third Arch-duke level Demon shot forward with much more speed, traversing the forest like shooting stars.
