A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 99 - 98 – Is This A Dragon?

That huge dragon-like worm was in front of me, I couldn't move, I was too scared to do such a thing. The pressure this thing gave off made me feel like a novice adventurer, I was pretty weak.

Even if I used all my strength in this place, it would be completely useless.

"Please just let me go." Without thinking, I spoke to that thing. I wasn't attacked, but I was being looked at as if I were an enemy, I was going to get killed any minute now.

The only thing I could do was cry while begging for mercy. I never thought that I, an A-RANK adventurer, would lower myself to that level. But I don't have another option, I just don't want to die here.

I was so sorry to have come to this place.

GUAAAAARRR~~

That big monster let out a scream loud enough to hurt my ears, and then I felt his mouth approaching me, I could hear his breath and feel his breath of blood.

I looked up and noticed that he was very close, I was practically inside his mouth, so I closed my eyes and waited for me to be swallowed, but that didn't happen.

As soon as I opened my eyes, that thing had pulled away from me a little, but it continued to glare at me, this thing still saw me as its enemy, but why doesn't it attack me?

"You were right not to kill him, very well." While I was distracted looking at that giant monster, I managed to hear a voice.

It was a deep voice.

"Who is it?" I screamed.

"Look up." I thought I wouldn't get an answer, but the voice answered me quickly.

"Where?"

"Over Gyudo's head, look here." Gyudo? I don't know anyone by that name, so it could only be this monster. After that, I looked up towards the head of that thing.

I noticed a man standing. He had white skin with a few red spots, and one wore a black dress suit. His eyes were completely black and his long black hair hung down to his feet.

But what surprised me most about his exotic appearance was his little red horns on top of his head.

"A demon?"

"You got it right, I'm a demon." He had a deep voice, but his appearance and his smile didn't match his voice at all.

"What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean? Weren't you the one who broke into my house?"

"You live here? So you are a dungeon monster?"

"Dungeon? I don't know exactly what I am or how I got here, but I've been here a long time, so isn't this place my home?"

"But don't you know you're a demon?"

"Well, a lot of people who saw me said I was a demon, so I started to believe that, is that weird?"

"I can't tell."

"Hahaha, you are funny. So what are you doing here? I was chasing you guys, but you killed one of my kids, I'm pissed off about that." The demon looked at me with his black eyes.

He had a huge intention to kill me, my body started to shake and my heart started beating rapidly. My legs gave out and I fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry about that, I thought it was some monster and I ended up doing it, I didn't mean to piss you off."

"I see, but don't worry, I don't hold a grudge against dead people."

"?!" I just saw a big smile on that demon's face, after that, I felt my body start to burn.

Even without that demon having approached me, I suffered a direct attack.

I didn't even have a chance to avoid his attack or fight back, everything around me was orange, and my body was on fire. Even using water magic was no use, I couldn't do anything but watch my entire body being burned.

I didn't scream or despair, the last thing I heard before I died was.

"I hope my brothers kill the others quickly too."

####

I was alone in that forest now, and I continued to suffer attacks from all over. As much as I ran around and yelled for my companions, I couldn't find anyone, and those I could find were already dead.

One body, two bodies, three bodies.

I lost count of how many adventurers without their heads or body parts I found through the forest as I ran desperately to try to find my way out of this place.

It wasn't easy to run quickly through the trees while avoiding the ropes, I started breathing heavily, I had tired quickly and I wasn't feeling well.

I didn't even have time to stop and get some water, I thought I was going to pass out at any moment.

"Is anyone around here?" I yelled again waiting for someone's response, but no one responded. The only thing I did was keep running non-stop for another 30 minutes before I could find something.

The number of attacks had dwindled to the point where they were no longer a concern, I could easily avoid them, and what relieved me the most was that I had managed to get out of that huge forest.

When I got out, the first thing I did was run away before I could look back. And when I was a considerable distance away, I looked back and noticed some of those monsters in the tops of the trees looking at me.

But just seconds later, they started ignoring me and turned away. They all jumped into the leaves again and disappeared.

Haa~~

Haa~~

I breathed uncontrollably and dropped to the ground.

"I managed to get out of this place, thankfully." I was also very relieved that those monsters didn't come after me here.

I continued to lie down for a while longer until I got the courage to get up and look right where I was at the moment.

"Wow." Behind me was the forest, and in front of me was a huge field of grass that looked endless. It was like an open field we have outside the dungeon, it was very beautiful.

There were flowers of all kinds and colors, there were also birds and butterflies everywhere, it was a very beautiful place.

It was very beautiful, but I was sure it hid too many dangers, I couldn't let my guard down here.

'But now, did any of them make it out?' There was no one around here. Because it's an open field, I think I could see them easily, but I couldn't see anyone, so I decided to wait a little longer.

Sorry, but I'm not going into this forest again to go after you guys, I'll wait for you here.

####

I stayed there for a while longer, my body was already rested and I was just waiting for my teammates to show up, but that didn't happen.

"Are they all dead? Damn it." I could only think of the worst-case scenario for now. My comrades were all killed inside this forest.

"They couldn't have left the forest. I can't find them here, it's an open field and there's nowhere they could be hiding."

What I saw was just grass, and flowers and some animals, nothing but that.

"I'm not going back to the forest, the way is to move on." Just standing here and waiting wouldn't do any good, so I wanted to move on to try and get out of this place, sorry if you guys are still in the forest.

I hope you guys manage to get out.

This time I wanted to go after water and also an exit, my water was gone. Good thing I had brought a lot to eat, I won't have a problem with that.

I walked forward and hoped something would appear.

"It looks like you made it out of the forest, my congratulations, it looks like the others weren't so lucky."

"What?"

Suddenly a voice came from the top of my head, I removed my sword from its scabbard and went into guard. It was a high-pitched voice and a little strange.

After pulling out my sword, I started and hearing some noises around me like someone was there, it was really weird.

After that, I started to feel a huge magical power and the ground started to shake under me, so I got out of there right away.
