Fiona is looking at Amadeus, she observes the demon with Marcus is fighting continuously. Marcus manages to dodge some hits and blocks it with a lot of strength he still have it. Fiona is transforming her head into a Vewolf, and she spits on Amadeus legs. The saliva hits Amadeus legs which it begins her miraculously healing effect. And, she spits on the other knight, Nathan, but on his chest since it was at one meter closer than Amadeus.
Fiona gets her head transformed back to human, and transforms her arms into a Vewolf. She gets up, and she looks at the demon, who is focussing only on Marcus.
"The saliva would be able to heal them completely in at least five minutes. I should do whatever I can to buy enough time for the knights to join us." he takes a quick look at the Archer, she sees that her eyes shows no life in it, and that means Ana is dead. "Damn. They got Ana. Poor skilled archer."
Fiona runs at the demon with her giant sword ready to stab him or at least cut his limbs in the better scenario.
These two people fought the demon as good as they can. Fiona managed to hurt the demon, but a little. She also got some hits from the demon, who almost broke her arms and the sword with his fists. Marcus stabbed the demon multiple times with his axes, but when he was close to incapacitate the demon when he threw the axes which are having a brown light on the sharp parts. The demon used his fork to hit the axes and redirect them to the wall of the building.
Fiona is fighting the summoned skeletons, she kills all of them in only four minutes, while Marcus is much more preoccupied to fighting the demon on hand-to-hand now since his axes are now stuck to the wall of the interior of the building. He managed to land punches with his now green aura, but this was only good enough to make the demon go a few steps back.
There was a moment where Marcus was almost stabbed by the fork, but, he jumped on the floor, dodging the fork at the last moment, and hitting the fork with his legs who are having a green aura all over them. The hits were so strong, Demon's fork got broken. The demon took the stick who was having the sharp object, and he looked at it, feeling truly scared. He threw the stick away, he takes a fighting position, his fists are now on fire, literally.
"You mortal human have destroyed a weapon. You will be a great dinner for the Down!"
"Do you truly think I will come there?" asks Marcus who is preparing himself to fight the demon, hand-to-hand.
"I will personally drag your body to my home!"
The Demon charges at Marcus, as he was prepared to defend himself, but then, something came at a high speed to the demon, he hits his face, and he sends the Demon to a piece of furniture which is getting broken by his weight and height. Marcus, who is still in a defensive position, looked at the person who just saved him, and it is Nathan, the knight who was one hour ago on the verge of dying, but now, he is fine. He made a gigantic punch, enough to sent that demon away since he got a unique battle skill, Body Stretching.
"And you thought I can die that easily." says Nathan walking to the Demon, making his big fist become at the normal size.
the demon gets up immediately, he looks at Nathan, frightened, to see him alive and in a good shape to fight. The demon raise up, and he looks around, he sees Amadeus getting out from the wall, and heading towards him slowly with his blade. Fiona is looking at the demon, and she transform both of her arms into Vewolf hands. Marcus is heading to the demon, with green aura who is all over his body.
The Demon, raises his hands in the air, and he says to those four warriors who are staying still.
"You mere mortals have won this fight. But the battle, will be to our kind!"
And he disappears, making from him a smoke cloud. Everyone is looking in disbelief at the cloud who is vanishing slowly, and finding out the demon is not there. They look around them, hoping to the Demon is in the house, hiding and planning a surprised attack, but luckily, there is no trace of this demon into the building.
"Did we won?" asks Fiona to the three knights transforming her Vewolf arms back to the human arms.
"Maybe." says Amadeus stepping to the place where the demon vanished. "This is something strong that we haven't ever faced. And I don't think it will be the last time we will encounter something like that."
Nathan is looking at Ana, and he stretches his arms to her. He garbs the body which is tied to the wall, and he is handing to Fiona. He looked at her, sad and devastated.
"Your Vewolf healing effect would be able to heal her?"
"She is gone. I'm sorry." says Fiona checking her breath, but is no sign of breath, and her eyes, who shows no life, it can confirm that she is truly dead.
"No." he says putting his head on Anna corpse, he sobs, and a few tears are dropping from his eyes. "Why?... Why? Why? WHY?!" he screams on the sky while everyone from there is feeling bad for Nathan for losing a special person.
They've won the battle, and they managed to stop Big Father, but at what cost? Human lives lost and the death of a brilliant archer, who was killed by the Demons.
Soon, a few squads of knights, came back to retrieve the body of Big Father, and the bodies of the lost knights, who were only three, the commanders and Ana who will be sent soon at the Funeral, where they will be resting in peace for eternity.
When the squad of the knights took the bodies and the two strongest knights, Marcus and with Fiona are on the back of the squads, taking an empty carriage who was left there by the fugitive squads who were retreating from a safe distance and let them fight the Demon. Marcus and with Fiona are siting on the carriage, drinking health potion because of the wounds they've got from the fight earlier.
"I cannot believe this." says Fiona astonished. "We've fought a real demon."
"Yes... We were lucky we survived it." says Marcus taking a sip from the small health potion they were given by the healing knights.
"Marcus."
"Hm."
"What does the demon meant by God's Vessel?"
"You know I have God's tattoos all over my body, and they can bring me powers."
"I know that."
"The truth is Fiona, that I am not a mere human. I am a semi-god."
Fiona is feeling shocked by this information. He looked at Marcus, and he tells her.
"I am a failed semi-god."
"What does it mean?" asks Fiona to Marcus. "How are you a semi-god if you are a human?"
"Failed Semi-Gods are humans. The powers differentiate from the true semi-gods, who are able to fly the sky, move mountains and destroys provinces without a sweat. My power were able enough to stop the demon. And the race of Failed Semi-Gods is seen as a waste by the true ones, who are always hiding their faces and do the works from the shadows. All semi-gods are having human bodies, like mine. And tattoos, like mine representing the gods I have the power."
"... I understand. But why are you telling me this?"
"Because I can trust you, Fiona. You revealed your true powers to me a long time ago. You trust me to keep your secret from the knights that day, now, you have to promise me to keep this secret. Alright?"
"I promise." says Fiona taking her knife, she does a small stab on her finger, she takes the drop of blood, and he shows to Marcus. "I promise with my blood."
Fiona and Marcus are staying there until their wounds are completely healed, after that, they are leaving the area by the help of the carriage and of the single horse. As the carriage was traveling back to the Kingdom by Fiona's, Marcus stays on the carriage, he looks at his arms tattoo, who aren't revealing any light, they are now normal. Marcus looks on the night sky, he sees the stars there, and he is wondering if the demons would come back to this world ending the human race and semi-human race.
