Chapter 221 - Demons against humans - Part 2

The moment is about to come. But I never thought the person who will die because of the poison will be the person that is related to the Big Father Thornosian.

This revelation is making me curios and raised some questions. If the things I have heard are true, then: "Why he kills his own relative who is the only person able to help him get the demons race back from the undergrounds? Why he hasn't put much effort in guards, anyway?". This thing raises some questions, but for me, in case of guards, it was a mistake for this demon in human skin.

I look down to the forest, and with my eyes, I observe a few more soldiers approaching the house, all armed and prepared for the signal I will be about to throw into the air. At that group, I have hardly spotted Roger and even a person I have never thought I'd see here, Derek, the Vampire who helped me at my magic abilities and a big friend of my family. Maybe he found the solution to my curse he has come here. But how does he know I am here? Anyway, I feel happy to see here some skilled and great soldiers who have I fought together with.

I was surprised to see on a small group of knights, there are a few squires who are almost at the same age as me. I cannot see their faces which means I am not able to has come here, but I can deduce there are some known faces. I have also spotted a small group of people from the guilds of Animal assassins, who are hiding into the trees of the interior of the property. I cannot see who are these people, because they are wearing masks, but thanks to the light on inside, I was able to see the mask of a bear, which means one of my good comrade is here. And she is also here.

I continue to look at the main attraction, which is the table where almost a hundred of people have gathered, celebrating the birthday of Big Thornosian Father. At the table I have observed big plates with meat, and human corpses, all burned and covered in a yellow substance. As I looked at the corpses, I almost throw up, but I quickly swallowed it back because this would have probably alerted the guards against who are patrolling near the house.

As I looked at the corpses laid on the table, I noticed a few corpses that resembles those of kids who are about to enter the teenage phase. I see none resemble the body of Timmy, so it means there is still a chance the friend of me and Mircea from childhood it might still be safe. I see a man taking a body of a kid with a huge smile on his face. That man is almost as tall as Big Thornosian Father and his Uncle. The man, with his right hand, holds the corpse of that kid, and with the other he tears his skin apart, then he swallows it.

"Oh, God..." I whispered looking terrified at the brutality this man is showing at the table.

As the seconds pass, I continued to look at the direction of the Thornosian Father and the direction of the invited guest at the table, his relative Uncle, who has drank the entire cup of the thing labelled as poison has The Big Thornosian Father poured on the man drink. When the man took the drink, I saw the man jumping from his chair and falling on the ground, moving his legs in a faster way, while he holds his throat. I can see he coughs, but I cannot hear due to the distance between me and him.

I saw the Thornosian Father rising from his seat, and approaching the corpse of the invited guest. The moment is about to come, I prepare my wand and wait a few more seconds until the perfect moment to attack will arrive.

"W-W-Why have y-you?" asks the poisoned person, holding his throat. His skin becomes yellow and purple, while his eyes gain the red colour. "W-We were... supposed to regain control."

"Control?" asks the Thornosian Father laughing. "I do not need to share power against this world full of weakness. I am much stronger than you, and the last person. He... You two are nothing. You two are the weakest demons I've ever seen in my life."

"I-I'll await you in He-Hell!"

"Huh? You?" he bend over to him, grasps his chest, raises hi a few centimetres. "You are already finished." he makes his mouth almost ten times huge and bites the entire face of the human-devil he just murdered. Then he continues to bite the demon face three times, until he got to the brain, where he scoops it, and eats it in one single setting.

Raises from the ground, he looked at the people at the table, who were most of them happy, while others were terrified and shocked by this scene. Most of them were not expecting this, while other, who are closer to Big Thornosian Father, half expecting this.

"The prophecy is just lies." says Thornosian Father to the people gathered at the table. "You don't need three demons to open the Gates of Hell to let all of the billions of demons free. All you need is one single strong demon to absorb three demon's powers. This man consumed five demons, including my two daughters, my wife, and two great soldiers who escaped from Hell. He was also planning to kill me here. But I managed to counter-attack that in the nick of time."

The Thornosian Father looks at his house, where one helper's drags on the ground the body of a small boy, beaten to death, and full of scars all over his body. The boy who is dragged with force is none other than Timmy.

"Timmy?" said Judah from the rooftop, who was about to launch the blue flare, but he stops. He hides the wand and looks at the scene who is about to unfold.

"This kid, ladies and gentlemen!" say Big Thornosian leaving the table, walking a few steps to the body of that kid who is almost breathing. "This kid was working in secret for my dear relative. Whom now has passed away. And he made a deal with the Devil. He spill the beans about an assassination attempt, which we managed to overcome at the nick of time, before we were about to start the bloodshed."

"Assassination?" asks Judah, then, an image comes to his mind. "H-He counter-attacked our plan?!"

"This kid right here. Has revealed the location of a vampire band that consists of fifteen members who were about to invade us and attack us. A weak attack I have to say."

Judah has taken a breath. For a moment he thought the plan of this invasion would have been discovered, but in reality, it was another plan of invasion. And without thinking too much, he decides the moment has come, he aims his wand to the sky, and launches a blue flare. As the flare flew on the sky, the people from the garden saw it, and looked questionable at it.

As the flare flew straight up into the sky, the units of knights, warriors and assassins have fled from their hideouts, charging and freeing their warrior scream.

"CHARGE!" ordered a lot of powerful knights from their units as they charge at the house.
