Then a huge explosion rang out that even the shockwaves reach them.
"What was that?" Teressa exclaimed while pointing at the huge cloud of dust in the distance.
"Someone or something was fighting over there." Luke said excitedly, being an 18 year old man his hot-bloodedness was at it's peak. He was about to head in that direction when Sid block his way.
"And where are you going? Didn't you see how strong that explosion was?" Sid said with grim expressions.
"Tsk why are you so annoying you're not the boss of me, if you don't want to come just scram" Luke shoved Sid away and continue heading towards the explosion.
"Aren't you guys stopping him?" Sid look at the girls.
"Uhh I'm also kinda curious" Teressa said with her still cheerful tone.
"Wha.." Sid really don't know how this guy's brain works.
"We'll just observe from afar" Hera added, she too want to know what cause that huge explosion. 'Maybe there is an expert fighting a strong beast over there.' thought Hera, since young she dream of becoming strong but since she was a woman and a daughter of a powerful clan no one taught her how to fight and said just focus on being a proper lady. And now with a possibility of finding an expert, Hera was also a bit excited.
Sid didn't really know if this group of his was dumb or just not afraid of trouble.
And with a sigh, Sid just follow them again.
"Let's better not be going close in that place or I'm gonna drag you out of this place even if you like it or not" since Sid can't convince them to stop heading in that place he has no other choice but to compromise.
"Yay come on, come on" Teressa then started running and quickly follow Luke who was slightly far away from them.
They've been walking for half an hour and the shaking become more powerful the more they come close.
Then they arrive at a cliff.
"It's a dead end come on lets head back" Sid quickly suggested.
Luke head closer to the cliff and what he saw shocked him shitless, beneath the cliff the forest was almost raze to the ground and craters was everywhere.
But what he found shocking was that there's people down there.
"Hey guys come over here there seemed to be people fighting below" Luke said excitingly not even bothering to raise his head and just stare at figures below.
Teressa was the one who comes over first and also was shock at the sight below. "Hmm the other human seems to have horns?" Teressa said while looking at the big figure that was bulging with muscles.
"That's because it's not a human, it's a Demon" Hera too look over and seeing the huge human with horns she immediately recognizes it.
"A demon?" Teressa shivered and was scared while taking a few steps back from the cliff.
The others also felt scared, they knew how cruel and ruthless demons can be and if they get caught by one they would die a miserable death.
Hera also notice the man that was on his bare chest filled with cuts and wounds gripping a broken sword.
"Come on guys it's too fucking dangerous here let's head back" Sid was now really regretting letting this guys come here, if that demon notice them they would surely be dead.
Luke didn't argue, even though he was arrogant and prideful, this situation didn't need a genius to say that this was dangerous.
Hera who was still gazing at the bare chested man just nodded dazedly.
But then she saw the man's eyes suddenly opens and a very heavy pressure push them down to their knees.
"Fuck this is bad" Sid cursed with grim expression.
Nezu was ready to give this demon his gift but suddenly he sense some people not far away from his position.
If Nezu could sense them easily, the demon also didn't need to waste some effort to notice them.
He knows that he can't defeat Nezu now after he Materialize his Element. Damn he can't even defeat the human before his breakthrough.
And now seeing other humans in this place, he was now desperate to make them his hostage.
Having a plan, the demon didn't waste anymore time and rush towards the humans. With a powerful jump that make the ground cracks he quickly was in mid air.
'Sigh, demons really are a troublesome bunch' Nezu then re-enforced his legs with destruction energy and with a light step, vanish from his position leaving large cracks behind.
'I really need to control my sudden increase in strength.' seeing the destruction he made just by using a little bit of his destruction energy left him helpless.
Seeing the humans that was still on their knees, the demon was excited but not for the humans, seeing that the demon was quickly rushing at them filled their hearts with despair and powerlessness.
"Hehehe that's the expression I wanted to see" the demon laugh sinisterly. But before he could do anything else a blur suddenly appeared above him.
"Oi you ugly demon I haven't even given you my present yet" Nezu said mockingly then re-enforcing his right leg with destruction energy he quickly gave the demon an axe kick.
The demon was directly hit in the head and falls down towards the ground like a meteor.
*Swoooshh*
*BOOM*
A deep crater was formed and the demon was buried underneath.
Looking that the demon didn't move, Nezu then stare at the group of teenagers.
"Why are here you here, this deep in the forest you shitheads?" Nezu ask them coldly not lifting the pressure that put them on their knees.
Feeling that they suffered enough he disperse the pressure, the group of teenagers was gasping for breath while having cold sweats on their foreheads and backs.
Being an arrogant and prideful man, Luke didn't like Nezu's tone and angrily said, "What did you just call us you bastard? Don't you know who I am? I'm..."
Nezu didn't let him continue his 'im from a powerful clan shit speech' and just pressure him with his aura.
*UGH*
Grunting Luke stare at Nezu hatefully while on his knees again.
Unfazed by the red haired man's hateful gaze he then stare at the others and wait for their explanation.
After a few minutes of listening to this shitheads reasons for coming here, Nezu just helplessly sigh and look at the group of teenagers like some idiots.
Not bothering with them anymore because the crater where the demon was buried started to shake.
"Now get out of here while you still can cause I'm not saving your asses next time" Nezu jump at the cliff and was letting the gravity to take him down.
