Ex rank talent Awakening: 100\% Dodge rate-Chapter 84 - : DIFFICULT TASK
"Zert! I will be leaving the camp under your command once more. This time, try not to allow someone into the demon realm. It will be insulting if anyone can just breeze into the demon realm like it's their house," Kodiac warned his assistant before flying off, his destination unknown.
"That bastard. Because of him, Commander Kodiac has lost faith in me. My dreams might be destroyed because of a fool like him. I swear I will kill him if I ever come across him in the demon world. What the hell am I saying? He will probably be dead by now, his soul captured and tortured. Serves him right for embarrassing me heavily," Zert muttered to himself. Being a level 75 demon, he had never felt so insulted—unable to do anything to a being far weaker than him, then losing thanks to a lapse in concentration.
"Vice Commander Zert, an intruder!!" A demon knight rushed to warn him.
"Hah, perfect timing. I guess I will use this intruder to relieve my heart a bit," Zert spoke out, the suppressed anger in his heart roaring to come out. Zert followed the knight's guidance until he got to the location of the intruder.
Boom! An explosion rang out, demons burned, their HP reducing quickly until their deaths. Zert was stunned. If the last intruder was deliberate, systematic, and orderly in killing demons and destroying their base, the one in front of him was chaotic and fierce, destroying everything she set her sights on. The barons were unable to contain her, struggling even to stop her rampage.
"Hey! Stop destroying everything! Stoppppp!!!!" Zert yelled, extremely furious, the scene in front of him causing his heart to ache. He knew he was going to get an earful from Kodiac when he returned.
Despite his furious yell, the human didn't pay him any attention, just casting spells simultaneously.
"I said stop!" Zert yelled, throwing a javelin towards the human, another javelin appearing in his hand afterward. He was insistent on turning the damn human into a porcupine, but oh well, not today either—the javelin missed the human. Not giving up, Zert continued throwing javelins at her, over and over again, none hitting the damn human.

"You! You! You are the same as the last bastard! What do you want?! The demon realm isn't a place to sightsee! Turn the fuck around!!!" Zert yelled, having an ominous feeling in his heart.
"Actually, it is for the both of us," the human replied, causing him to almost cough out a lot of blood.
"I will not let you pass!" Zert firmly said, his determination at its peak.
The human, though, as if she didn't rate his determination, continued walking. The demons, wary of her and scared, backed down, allowing her to pass through. None wished to be pierced by several water spears or be burned to a crisp. The barons were no exceptions.
"Fools! Cowards!!" Zert yelled, disgusted at them. He stood his ground firmly, ensuring she didn't pass.
Scarlett stared at the demon in front of her, saying a lot of gibberish about not letting her pass and standing confidently. She chose to ignore the idiot. Wings erupting from her back, she flew upwards, having enough of the fight with the demons who already knew their place and were retreating.
"No, you don't!" the demon declared, flying upwards too to catch her, but oh well, he couldn't—the 100% dodge rate talent doing its job. The demon was so frustrated, unable to touch her, that he decided to switch tactics. Conjuring a net, he threw it at her, hoping to restrain her, but even that couldn't catch her, the talent ensuring all attacks from the enemy wouldn't reach her, not even control-type attacks.
Zert began to panic, watching her fly towards the rift and unable to stop her or do anything to her. He knew he was in trouble if she passed through the rift, but he couldn't do anything aside from watching her fly towards it. Everything he tried backfired.
"Will manifestation!" Zert shouted, using his trump card, believing it was definitely going to work and stop the annoying human from entering the rift.
Appearing in his world, he found an atmosphere conducive to having a nice nap—lullabies, soft and calm, a nice valley with soft and well-trimmed grass that was inviting for a good nap. Well, everything was perfect as Zert would have imagined—except for one thing. He was the only one in the world.
"Fuck!!" Zert cursed, stopping the will manifestation, only to look around and see only demons.
"Where is she?" he asked the closest demon, scared to believe what he was thinking.
"Lord Zert, she went to the demon world through the rift," the demon answered, fear gripping his heart.
"Fuck, I'm doomed. I'm cooked," Zert said to himself, dreading the conversation he would have with Earl Kodiac.
"So? What happened again, Zert?" Kodiac asked, the atmosphere chilling, the pressure emanating from him threatening to choke Zert to death.
"Forgive me, my Lord. Another... a human passed through the rift into the demon world. I tried stopping her, but..." Zert was unable to finish his words, flying like an object catapulted away.
Zert flew backward until he crashed into the open sand, Kodiac appearing before him immediately after he crashed.
"There is a reason I hate you people from the sloth clan. You can't even get a single job done. Command while I'm gone—is that too difficult to do?" Kodiac asked coldly.
"No, Lord Kodiac, but—"
Boom! Once more, Zert flew into the sky, crashing into the ground again.
"But what?" Kodiac, appearing before Zert instantly, asked once more.
"My Lord, I tried, but for some reason, none of my attacks could—"
Boom! Zert was once more flying, bleeding profusely.
"Your attacks missed, I get it. I wish I could say the same, Zert," Kodiac said, still very much annoyed.
Zert felt pained. He sincerely wished he was just a baron. For the first time in his life, he wished for a demotion—or perhaps that he was never tasked with being the second-in-command for the invasion. Maybe then he wouldn't be thinking extremely hard about how to explain things to Commander Kodiac.
He felt like crying, but he couldn't find the place or time to cry.
