Killing A Few, Now I’m Leaving

'Since the whole palace is alerted, then I'll most likely have to kill a few in order to leave here.'

Ayla ducked, narrowly avoiding being hit by a poison-coated dagger. Slamming her hands on the floor, Ayla twisted her body into a spinning kick to the face of the assailant.

*CRACK! Due to the force of Ayla's kick, the assailant's skull was shattered, killing her in a mere instant.

The assailant's body was sent flying into the wall, producing another loud noise as Ayla got back on her feet and turned her head to where the assailant's body flew.

The wall was stained in blood as the corpse of the assailant, lied there indented in the wall with a head as flat as a deflated basketball with bluish-white blood pouring out from it.

"That's something you don't see every day."

After a few seconds of observing the corpse, Ayla entered the shadows, leaving the room as the demon guards entered the room.

Four demon guards wearing pitch black armor entered the room, seeing a corpse with a crushed skull across the room.

The demon guards' expressions changed to shock when they saw their unconscious and bloodied emperor, sitting against the wall with a fist engraved in his abdomen.

"Who could've done this but the demon emperor?" The demon guard in front asked.

"I don't know, but" — The demon guard turned his head, seeing something else—"there's something else."

The other three guards looked at what he was looking at, and what they found was a pile of flesh and bone with a large puddle of blood underneath it.

"It looks like flesh. Can we eat it?" The demon guard walked over to the pile of flesh and was about to eat it when he was sent flying by a kick to the face from a female demon assassin.

"No, you can't eat it, and if you try again, I'll kill you."

Getting out of the wall, some rubble fell as he clutched his head. "Ouch, that hurt. Why can't I eat it? It is just flesh, bitch."

"It's the remains of Madam Shizuka; now go get the hellhounds and track the culprit." (A/N: She was informed by the assailant that attacked Ayla.)

Ayla, who was listening in on this conversation, thought, 'I can't have that happen, so I'll send those hounds to where they belong.'

Leaving the room, Ayla scanned the palace for the location of the hell-hounds, soon spotting them in the dungeon underneath the palace.

Arriving outside the dungeon cell where the hell hounds were housed, they began barking and growling like a dog would when threatened as Ayla flicked a little pitch black ball of energy at them.

When it came into contact with one of them, it exploded, killing all the hell-hounds all at once, leaving not even the ashes of the hellhounds left.

'I guess that takes care of that, so I'll be leaving now.'

When Ayla was about to enter the shadows, she heard a demon guard ask. "Stop right there, this is a restricted zone. Why is a maid like you doing down here."

'Guess I'll kill him, then leave after.' Ayla's figure disappeared as a slit formed on the demon guard's neck, before his head slid off, smacking the ground with a small thud.

After killing the demon guard, Ayla entered the shadows, appearing at the exit of the dungeon, which led outside and left the barrier, before she sprinted towards the town of Riranai.

Ayla's appearance shifted back to its original form, giving her black kimono back along with her geta sandals.

'I'm so glad that I don't have to wear such an erotic outfit any longer.'

[I think you looked great wearing it]

'You only think that way since you're a Succubus and don't feel embarrassed or ashamed about wearing such clothes.' Ayla said, telepathically.

[Can't deny that]
