Perfected Tempest

29. Both Being Cornered by Women

                             Laplace POV

Today was just not my day. First I get asked to help make the orc lord into a demon lord by Clayman, that was when everything was still ok. It all went south after the second thing. I was keeping my distance after getting the foolish lizardman to rebel against his people. Watching to make sure the plan was a success and that the lizardmen would come out of their hide hole. That's when it got bad. First a dryad showed up and started fighting me. I thought it would be easy to get away but the dryad was stronger than I remember them being. It took a bit but I still succeeded in escaping her. I then went to double check that the plan still worked only to see it fail. The lizards chief had somehow evolved along with his guards. Due to that Gabil was beaten after a small fight. Even if he is stronger than a normal lizard he is no match for a dragonewt let alone two. I then knew that I had to escape quickly since something was going wrong in the plan but I allowed my hope in Clayman to get the better of me. I tried to help the orcs get some lizard meat so they would get stronger and deal with the problem for me, but I soon learned I should have just run instead.

Demon- "Ah so you are the individual my lord told us to deal with. I can't wait to let out some of my frustration out on you."

I quickly jumped back in surprise since I didn't notice the demon approaching me at all. I then started to study its looks and that alone made me horrified. Black hair and golden colored eyes with black pupils, its noir the black primordial. This mission is a failure I must find an escape route quickly.

Demon- "Noir are you going to finish up quickly right? We can't make our master wait on us for his grand plans. We do have other objectives to complete yet you know."

Noir- "Ah yes Blan- I mean Tesstarosa I understand that but we still must first complete this task to perfection first if we are to earn his forgiveness. The look he gave us earlier still hints me even now." He said after shuddering a bit.

Tesstarosa- "I noticed that Noir but I'll ignore it for our masters sake. And I also understand your pain for I went through it as well. You however have yet to even receive his grace yet. Perhaps if you don't do well enough here he won't let you work for him. Ah just thinking that is possible brings me great joy, I'll get to have our master to myself more if you're not there with us."

Noir- "I'll never give you the privilege of accompanying him alone Tesstarosa. Perhaps if I show him you're not as useful as I am he might reconsider having you work for him. Kufufu."

Tesstarosa- "I'll make sure that can't happen Noir you will be second place this time unlike all other fights we've had before. This time you'll come in last right behind the other two."

Noir- "Well see about that."

It's good they were ignoring me now I've set up some traps to help me escape this terrible situation. It's bad enough that one of them even appeared here. Worse still that two did and one with a name. Even more horribly so that it's the two considered by many as the worst two. I also think they mentioned the other two primordial demons are here too. What really makes me feel like pissing myself is that all of them appear to have a new master who I don't know about. Is it Veldora? Or is it someone else just as dangerous that lives in this forest. Is that why some much of the plan has started to go wrong? Clayman you fool I'm probably going to die today because of your stupid plans. I'll fight so I can at least attempt to escape this crisis.

Tesstarosa- "Oh look Noir the little fool has finished putting up his traps and is trying his best to escape this situation. Isn't it adorable."

Noir- "I feel somewhat bad for him really. He clearly was hired by someone to help out here and now that our master has ordered us to capture him he will never know peace again."
