You go into the cave and there's two paths for you to explore, one is dark, almost too dark for you to see, you feel a strong power in your telepathic senses.
The other is iluminated by glowing crystals, you can hear the screeches of critters from this way, by the direction of the path you guess that this path leads back into the surface eventually.

>>3418137
To the dark
We can use our tail fire as a light source

You crawl in the narrow caves as they widen and widen, the psychic frequencies become louder and louder, you walk thru a big chamber when you start to feel a presence nearby but you still feel the powerfull creature is not the one lurking in the shadows, when you get to a point in the room where you can't see any of the wall, the center of the rrom you feel, you see a glimpse of a creature brightened by your fire, it quickly dashes into the dark.
You feel it's bloodthirst.

You bolt across the room as fast as you can, heading the same direction you came in.
But when yo get to the place you thought the exit would be at you only find a wall, you could've swore this was the right way.
Before you even manage to assess the situation your leg gets slashed from behind you, causing a minor wound.
You turn around to face the creature but it already returned into the darkness, you only see a faint silhouette.

You Continue turther down the tunnel, you've had your fire tail on for a long while so when you get close eough to the entrance you instinctively turn it off, at the ixact moment from the ceiling jumps the creature in front of you blocking your passage to the exit of the cave, and from behind you you feel another predator's observant gaze.

You try to comunicate with the creatures, you manage to connect with their mind but their thoughts are those of a mindless beast, you realize these must be lesser demon, probably controlled by the demon whose powerfull energy brought you to this cave.
The creature behind you lunges at you when it sees you distracted, you quickly retaliate with your flames, the creature seems terrified of the fire, you easily have the time to raposte and jab one of your legs into it's body.

>>3418971
Terrified of fire? That's good news for us. Start shouting fire at every one of the creatures while making it towards the crystal tunnel.

You use your fire to scare the creature blocking your path and lead it in the other direction.
The lesser demon crawls around the roof retreating to his ally and you rush past him swiftly finding yourself near the cave entrance.
When you get here you faintly hear a demon's voice in your head.
"All minions come to me, I need protection"
The roaring of demon noices flood the psychic frequencies, from the distances you realize that you'd be able to get to the Demon faster than his minions could come to his aid, is the risk worth it?

You hswifty head back into the darkness guiding yourself by the sound of the telepathic voice, you find yourself in the cave where you encountered the creatures but they're nowhere to be seen, they must be the other demonic voices you hear close to the boss.
Inspecting the wall opposite to the entrance you find a tunnel leading from the wall and after crossing it you find yourself into some kind of temple structure, this must be the lair of your new enemy.
After trekking theu a few halls you find the door to the chamber where the demon lies, what's your plan?

Before you make your attack you think about the possible nature of the demon, he's commanding dozens of lesser demons so he most likely is a summoner, a demon that user the souls he collects not to make himself stronger but to make lesser demons and strengthen them.
This demon's voice doesn't match any of the summoners that lived in your lands, this makes you remember your friend and general Khastose who fell protecting your lands, after his demon army got taken out, he kept fighting to the very last moment even if his strength was small.

>>3420984

You come close to the door to inspect it tail at the ready, when you get close to it slides upwards, you don't know if this was automatic or your presence is already known.
You peak your head inside to investigate, there's a small room connecting the room hall where the room is to a bigger chamber, you enter to get a better look and see his silhouette in inside, you don't know if he knows you're there, he's still comunicating with his minions, getting hastier with his commands to come to aid him.
The door closes behind you, there's no going back now.

You retreat to the ground, the creature goes back to crawling in the roof and walls of the chambers, you get a telepathic message, it's the summoner.
"Retreat now, this mountain belongs to Randoth the Crab Demon"

"So you are Qualo, I've heard tales about you, a powerfull demon that got defeated at full strength by a single human in combat, you really live up to the tale weakling"
"Watch your insolence, if you are a demon from this time you don't even know what true demonhood is, so tell me are you another one of human's whipped allies, or do you just cower in fear in this mountain waiting for your execution.
Before Randoth gets another word in you unleash a stream of fire in every direction.
"As to my power" you continue,"My power is enough to kill every lesser demon that's ever existed, and you are quite lesser yourself.

The creature that attacked you escapes at the sights of your fire, your fire also burns some other creature that was cloaked right beside you about to attack you.

"Is this all your creatures can do? have they even fought a day in their life? or do they just hunt down the mountain's critters for you to feed on?"
Randoth starts to back away slowly.
"There was once a demon named Khastose, have you heard tales of him too? he could summon from a rat's soul a demon strong enough to rip you to shreds, your mere existance is an insult to him"
At this point the Crab Demon jolts behind a pillar and turns on his fire, he quickly summons a few sprites, they seem pityfull to you, one tries to fire a energy shot at you but it completely misses.
"Are all demons left like you? Brittle cowards afraid of what once was my livestock or spineless whores with no dignity that would do the human's bidding for the rest of their live just to avoid fighting for a day?"
At this point a few of the energy blasts make contact with you, you don't even feel them.
"Is this what's left of the great demon race?"

At this point the demons open his eyes to find the world on fire and you standing right next to him, all his creations vanished in flames.
He mutters "Please ......."

He continues "There's a trail on the side of the mountain that's controlled by a clan of savage ogres, humans don't even dare cross it, nobody ever comes back, there's also the tower at the top of the mountain that's controlled by a mad wizard, to get there you'd either have to cross the ogre trail or cross the main path, where a group of bandits and mercenaries have set up camp."

You make your way out of the cave and follow the path for about an hour, you find the bandit settlement by the time of sunset, you get an advantage point and see two bandits, one in the camp gazing out into the fields and one that seems to be leaving the camp, there's two buildings, a tent and an unlit fire.

You follow the stumbling man outside of his allie's possible line of sight, his crusade was merely to take a piss.
You summon a few of creatures with your newly obtained power and make a firing squad to the man's back, he's completely oblivious even when you're just a few meters away form him, after the shots are fired he clumsily turns around from the sound of energy cutting the air and all the shots land on him.
You hear the cracking of bone from the two shots that got him in the chest, he falls backwards and bangs his head against the rocks and coughs up blood, he quickly reaches for his knife when he comes to cognition but as he tries to stand up he realizes his right lg has been rendered completely useless.

"What's happened to the demons why are they in sucha sad state? answer seriously or die"
"Ah so you're one of those fuckin' demon things get over here imma get me some of that fuckin' demonhunter cash"

You feel there's more but your memory is very faint on what happened before you woke form your 1000 year slumber.

"Aye you gonna let me kill ya or not you big-eyed freak"

You head back to the vilage planning to start a head on assault, when you get there you realize that the man that stared over the cliff is not outside anymore, a figure stands on top of one of the houses but the sunset makes it impossible to get a good look.
You shadowy figure unloads an arrow.

Suddently he screams "NOOOW" and with only his strength he swings upwards and cuts the air with his swords, launching the fire upwards, you hear the sound of an arrow firing at great speed.

You use your dash ability to dodge the gigantic arrow, you barely manage to escape it, though you don't get even a moment to relax as your foe is launching himself at you with an overhead strike.

You rush towards the bard brandishing your tail ready to show him some fire of your own, when you get close he stops playing for a second, stretches his fingers and starts playing a new melody, more quiet and tender, you hear the fire behind you go away and as you start shooting your fire a magic shield appears in front of the man.

Meanwhile the fur-cloaked man rages his battle against your summoned creatures, he seems troubled trying to defend against multiple enemies at a time, when he swings his sword and defeats one of the flying lesser demons one of the grounded ones manages to wound his knee.
He shouts "FUCK,, Mar help me out will ya"
A mere second after this an arrow flies and hits your summon square in the center, the man looks much more sluggish in his defense with the wounded leg.

While he mantains the shield blocking your fire you suddently grab hold of his leg with a shot of thread, you trip him and as he loses hold of his instrument the spell stops.
You aproach him as he hits the ground and start forcing your leg into his face, he tries to defend against you with one hand, he's remarkably strong for a spellcaster, he tries to grab a hold of his weapon but it's futile, you jam your leg into him and the hand clutching you goes limp.

Suddently from behind the house you hear a woman shout "NOOOO" in anger, it's the marksman finaly revealing herself, she was setting up an ambush but she revealed herself after the distress of seeing the bard die.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER" She shouts as she grabs for an arrow in her quiver.
