The demon was the first one to attack. He moved the whip like a snake tongue, so fast that it almost hit me.

My only advance is that they didn't want to hurt or kill me; the same cannot be said for them.

He keeps hitting the floor, making me hoop around nonstop. Trying to tire me out? No such lucky my friend. I pretend to play his game, but little by little I went closer to them, my eyes at the lower level one, one of the armored guys.

It doesn't matter their levels, I thought, they will burn nice nonetheless. The one on the left brought down a sword, trying to cut my escape from the whip, but from the beginning I was aiming to the one on the right, so I jumped over his swing and into the railing, using the impulse and surprising them by jumping right at the face of the guy from the right.

He didn't escape my surprise attack, shocked, since I stayed mostly at the left side and haven't showed any signals of going for him, so I got a good grip of his helmet between my teeth.

What happens when metal is overheated in your head? His screams told me that it wasn't a pleasant experience. Once the metal went inwards his body gave in and I jumped before the whip manage to hit me.

One down. Two to go.

Good, 15 now. The half demon went more seriously, whiping nonstop and starting to really tire me out.

Those two wouldn't fall for the same trick twice, so this time I couldn't even get closer to them, as the last armored picked up the net from the ground and waited for a chance to strike.

That's not going to happen buddy.

I pretend to be more tired than I really was; which wasn't very difficult really; and once my tongue was sticking out and they were prepared to launch an attack, I spit fire on the wood below us, which quickly caught on fire.

It started crumbling, a beacon of fire in the middle of the night, but I wasn't afraid of the fire or the fall, so when they needed to hold on the railing to steady themselves I jump right at the demon guy, as the armored guy quickly blocks my attack with a shield.

But I wasn't aiming at him.

With the sets of keys dangling on my mouth I quickly descend, losing some health over it. Now every human around us was awake, but I didn't care; I went straight to the cage, opening it up and pulling my brother out of there.

"Hey, brother, little brother, wake up, please."

I pawed his face down, waking him up as he slowly looked at me.

"There is no time to waste little brother, you need to go, now, I'll distract them."

A cursing pain shot thought my leg once a whip curves around it. I just had time to think "Shit" as he dragged me out in the open and almost dislocated my ankle, a numb felling covering the area.

I went straight at him since it was the only side which he couldn't make me trip, but them the armored guy appeared and pushed me with his shield, at the same time that the demon pulled me, making me fall on my back.

He doesn't waste his time and throws the net on me, but I use my Shadow Merge and enter my shadow, going out free far from them.

Ugh, that was close, really close, and now my foot hurts.

I hear my brother walking slowly, but the sound is too far from my grasp as I completely focus on the fight ahead.

But them many of them appear. Man, woman, ones with bows, whips, swords, armor, etc. All the camping was awake, and now aware of my presence.
