Calamity [4]
Req and Zero were blocking the way on the front but since the demons were so much in numbers they were flanking from the sides invading the space behind them. There were not many who had noticed this route since demon beasts—or lower demons as described by Zero—lacked intelligence.
However, more than a dozen had reached behind and two were after Zero's parents. They were standing before the protecting ice conical he'd created and were smacking their bodies against it in order to break the ice.
The ice he'd created was especially thick and rigid, but cracks were starting to appear on it as the demon beasts hit it with their heavy bodies. Although it was due to the very fact that the ice was thick that it hadn't been broken.
Zero was about to run off in that direction and crush the cores of those demons as soon as he saw the scene when a cluster of demons surrounded him yet again. His fury crossed all limits, right now he wanted to be there at all costs.
