Heroics of the Demon Lord

Chapter 3: Visitors

 "Hurry!!" I shout as the explosions behind me deafens my ears. I look back to my team and saw them running along with me... this is too much. This is too much!! Behind us, about a thousand low to mid-level demons and beasts are chasing us while we have three high leveled demons trying to flank us. Their eyes glitter a red glow in the night's darkness, hungry for our lives.

"Damnit!! I told you it was a trap! There's no way a high level demon will be alone. And to be spotted just by a scout!?" The priest who was being carried by our tank shouted...

"It's not like we had a choice here! If that bastard sends us in then we have to go in!" Our thief frantically jumps over earth spikes that materialized in front of him.

"Argh let's just talk about this later! As long as we're in this forest we can lose the majority of them!" The mage called out as she shoots out barrages of fire balls while flying backwards. She was almost hit by a dark bullet but it whizzed past her and hit a tree in front of us and started to fall on our trajectory.

"Duck!!" I cried out as we pass the tree that was falling on us and managed to get through safely, though that actually helped to thin out or slow down our pursuers.

"You idiots!!" One of the high demon individual yelled out. This one has a dark red skin, imposing horns protruding from his skull and four lengthy arms which he uses to traverse the branches. "You have no idea where you're heading towards!! I'm telling you it's better to die by our hands!!" He hissed as he jumps from tree branch to tree branch. Then, if he's telling us to turn back, then there must be something dangerous where we're headed. Enough that demons fear it? Lucky then. We're certainly dead if we turn back, but we're uncertain about what's in front of us... but what we're sure of, is that they will not follow us if we go further.

"Screw you! Keep running!" I yell and my team mates kept up the pace... Then our Tank and Priest was tackled to the ground. "Dan! Lisa!" I quickly stop and run back, I sliced the creature that's on top of them and they were able to recover.

"I told you, just leave me here! I'll hold them back, I'm just dead weight!" Our priest says.

"Hell no!! If you say that one more time I swear I'm not talking to you for a week!!" I say as I pick her up and lug her on my shoulder. "You alright Dan?" I look back as I continued running.

"I'm okay... I just lost my balance, there's no damage." He says as he runs alongside me, his silver heavy armor clinging against the large shield on his back and a couple beads of sweat trickling down his brown spiky hair. We kept running as fast as we can, our calves are already burning and our feet are aching but for the sake of our lives we kept moving... soon, we exited the forest and somehow came into a field. We all stopped to look back and it seems the demons stopped chasing us.

"They've... stopped?" The magician says, she lowers herself on the ground and sat, huffing.

"It seems they're afraid of this place. We can use this as an opportunity to run another direction and lose them." I say as I put down Lisa, her blue and white robe all ruffled up, even her long blonde hair is all dirty and had a leaf sticking out of it.

"No... that's not possible." The magician says as she looks around.

"What do you mean Vey?" I call to her. Her red, yellow and black cloak singed and burned in different places.

"They're surrounding us aren't they?" Winston says as he straightens out his black disheveled hair and dusts his light leather and red scaled armor. Just then, a stone whizzes past us and hits the ground beside us. Then, more stones and sticks were thrown along with a few wind blades. We stood up and ran further into the field.
