Dragon King's Harem Chapter 3. Rain And ThunderI sat on a quiet bus that headed for Silennel District, the district where my home was. My eyes looked at the window, staring at the sky which was already covered in dark clouds but my mind was not there.'I'll have to pack my things aurn the keys to the ndlord ihan a week.'The bus stopped and an annou sounded.* Ding Dong *"We have arrived at Silennel District. Please check your belongings before leaving."It was followed by a 'Psssh' sound by the automatic dot up from my seat and walked out of the bus. The wind messed up my hair, I khe rain would e anytime soon. Once again, my feet stepped dowreet as quickly as I did every night. My mind was filled with my moving out preparations. As I walked, I heard the sound of footsteps following me, again. I let out a tired sigh.'What do they want?' I sped up my pace, trying to ighem. But when I was in front of an alley, someone hiding behind a rge tree on the sideushed me into it roughly and made me nd on my back.I quickly stood up as I ehe pain and looked at the two men who stood in front of me in shock, my heart ounding fast. Their movements were very fast and they were s, I didn't even have time to react ht them. Even if they were martial arts experts, with my fighting ability, at least I could fight them baot like this. That's why I guessed they weren't humans, but demons.They grinned as they approached me. A fsh of lightning apanied by a r sound of thunder echoed through the night sky."On a night walk, gentlemen?" I said. My eyes stared at them, looking for an opening to escape. I khis alley was a dead end, so there was only one way out here, which was to break through them.Notig a gap, I ran towards it as my hand grabbed a beam nearby as a on. I khat apart from the demon hunters no one could kill a demon, not even the polid military. That's why I po escape to the police station.Those demons approached me and I swung my beam at them.- Brak!I was thrown and nded betweerash bags, the beam in my hand broke. While the demons looked fine and approached me slowly as if they were pying with me.I ehe pain in my body and lifted a trash ear me with my hands as I returo my feet. I threw it at them as a diversion and tried to run away once again.- Bang!The demon caught it and threw that derash at me."Ghhh!" I gritted my teeth wherash hit my back. I almost fell but I could keep my footing and keep running. But another demon dashed and pushed me, my back hit the wall. The demon's cw swung at me. I turo my side and mao dodge it at the st moment even though it mao rip my shoulder. The cw mark was clearly visible on the wall. Before I could fight again, the demon grabbed my ned choked me.- Br!Another fsh of lightning split the night sky was apanied by a r sound of thuhis time was apanied by rain. I struggled and tried to release the demon's hand desperately, but he was very strong.Slowly, the demon raised his hand and my feet started to leave the ground. I opened my mouth wide, trying to get some air as much as possible. My eyes widened, staring at the demons in front of me who were slowly ging to their inal forms. Coarse bck hairs covered their faces and bodies. Their red eyes eheir mouths wideheir teeth extended like wild animals. Their 'human' faces turned into rats.Extreme fear struck me when I saw their scary appeara I knew I had to fight them if I wao live. I go my side and realized there was an iron pole near me. Without thinking twice, I grabbed it and swung at the demon's head as hard as I could."Argggg!" The demon groaned in pain and released his grip.* Cough * * Cough * * Cough *I coughed as I tried to get bay feet, my hand swinging the bent iron pole in my hand once again to brush off the other demon. But that demon caught it and took it away. In one movement, the demon swung that iron pole at me."Argggg!" I groaned in pain as the iron pole hit my legs, knog me to the ground.- g!The demon dropped the iron pole and they approached me slowly with evil smiles on their faces, ering me against the wall. The pain from my legs, shoulders and back spread throughout my body. Even though I really wao scream for help, I k would be in vain, because no one could help me except the demon hunters. Whereas if there were demon hunters arouhey should have e here to help me because they had a special device that could detect the demon's location.They jumped with their cws poi me. With great difficulty, I turo the side to avoid them, but one of their cws mao rip open the side of my stomad created a spsh of blood on the white wall behind me. Four holes were seeheir ded. I forced myself to stand up, ehe pain in my legs as I grabbed the bent iron pole near me. My other hand pressed the wound on my stomach, trying to prevent the blood from ing out from it.I ran in shuffling steps, trying to escape once again. But the demons poune from behind before I could get out of the alley. I turned around, right in front of me the demon's mouth was wide open. Reflexively, I stabbed the iron pht into his mouth."Aaagggghhhh!" The demon screamed in pain and staggered backwards, my iron pole stu his mouth. Meanwhile, another demon poune, knog me down and opened his mouth. I raised my arm to protect myself. Extreme pain struck me as the demon pnted his sharp teeth to my arm. Peed my skin, flesh and bones. A sed ter, I could feel another pain ing from my stomad chest. I gnced down and saw that the demon's cierced my body. The blood came out of my wounds soaked my clothes, the pain in my body was getting worse. As my strength disappeared, the demon released his bite and bit my neck. My hand fell weakly to the ground.'Hurt ...' I thought but I didn't have any strength to fight back. The rain-soaked my fad clothes, my blood flowed along with it. My eyes stared at the fsh of lightning that cut through the sky, I khat the demon was eating me alive.I shifted my gaze in front of me and could see the other demon who had mao pull the pole from his mouth and approached me weakly. Between my pain, I grinned.'I almost mao kill a demon. I should be proud of myself ... 'Suddenly a white nce flew at the dying demon and turned him to ashes. The other demon released his bite and turned around. This time a white tied the demon and threw him against the wall."Argggg!" The demon screamed in pain as a crack appeared where he nded.'Who ...' I thought. Vaguely, I could see someohere and reized his uniform as a demon hunter. Even though his face was covered with a hood, it seemed that the demon hunter was a man.My eyes that were getting dimmer stared at the battle before me, as the pain from my wounds g my life breath and the ess overtook my body. A few seds ter, the demon turo ashes and the demon hunter approached me in a hurry."Be strong, buddy. It's only a scratch! You'll be fine!" said the demon hunter in panic. I k was a lie, the demon hunter was just trying to calm me down.Without wasting any time, the demon hunter propped me up and led me out of the alley in the heavy rain."Your voice ... Sounds familiar ..." I said in difficulty. I remembered there was only one person who called me 'buddy', Larry."Shut up! Stop wasting your energy!" But despite Larry's words, his voice trembled in sadness. Larry khat I couldn't be saved anymore.The ess and pain were getting worse. My legs felt weak and I fell. With great difficulty, Larry picked me up again." we're almost there!"Again, I knew Larry was lying sihe hospital or ic was still far from here. My memories fshed in my mind, my dreams to go to college and live a normal life didn't e true. All my efforts were in vain. In the end, I had to die as a prostitute. But I didn't regret it, I did my best and lived to the fullest.As I felt my life was almost gone, I whispered."Thank you ... Don't bme ... yourself ... Take ... care ..."After that my sciousness began to disappear and my eyes began to close."James! Hang on! We're almost there! We are almost at the hospital! Oh yeah, I promise I'll help you to paorrow! Oh, oh! And I'll bring my friend to help you too! Do you remember my best friehan? He's a model student at Diamond College! I believe you will get along with him! So please don't you dare die on me! " Larry tried to wake me up in a panic but my sciousness was getting dimmer. A smile formed on my lips and my breath stopped.
