Chapter 4 - The Demon (Part 4)
Above planet Yamer, Nazar's chest was pierced by this woman.
However, he was not worried about that.
He was worried about this person before him.
"Hoho… It seems you are refusing to die?" The woman before him said with a malicious grin on her face while removing her hand slowly from his chest.
As soon as her hand was out of Nazar's chest, it healed immediately.
Nazar looked at this woman and knew who it was. Even though her skin colour was different but he wouldn't mistake it.
It was someone very close to him.
He analysed her DNA and found it to be matching to the person he knows.
"Who are you?" He asked in a cold tone.
The woman looked surprised for a second.
"I can feel a second consciousness inside that body. So, who are?"
However, she was not going to answer that.
With a blink of an eye, she had kicked him in the sides.
Nazar was thrown away in the darkness of the space and was flying wildly towards a nearby satellite without any control.
But before he could reach that, the woman moved very fast.
Her speed surpassed Nazar's at the moment.
So she managed to remove the distance between them very fast.
"What's wrong, Mr King?"
She held him by his face and applied force to it.
Nazar felt the bones in his face breaking.
Blood was pouring down his face.
His thoughts were in disarray.
He was confused and surprised by this attack.
Why would they go after her?
(Why her? Why not someone else? What if I kill her? Or what if… Calm down. Think through this.)
While Nazar was thinking, in this woman's other hand, an energy sword appeared.
She stabbed Nazar in the stomach.
(Turn off emotions.)
However, it was useless.
(Okay. So, in the last ten weeks, one of the planets of the empire has been attacked. And this is definitely one of their attacks. I have thwarted their attacks so far easily but this… This time they went too far. I need to save her.)
He didn't even feel it.
"Tch."
She punched Nazar in the face.
But.
Something unexpected happened all of a sudden.
She felt pain in her hand.
(Damn. This body is frail.) She thought to herself as she gritted her teeth.
She jumped back to look at her hand and clenched it and then unclenched it a few times.
While she was clenching and unclenching her hand, she looked down at the planet.
"You have gotta be kidding me..."
She was expecting this but she didn't want to believe it.
She saw that the building was not destroyed.
She had a plan that involved the buildings.
Once the buildings went down, the others would be damaged heavily since they are so close to one another.
And then that was going to be a perfect opportunity for Nazar to get busy, so she could cause more chaos and hurt Nazar's image.
She looked at Nazar once more in disgust.
"You goddamned pathetic human!"
She shot herself towards Nazar.
But something else happened.
They were no longer in space.
They were in a place that she couldn't explain.
There was solid ground beneath her but yet there was nothing.
There were oxygen particles but there were none.
"Another dimension…?"
She looked around and could not explain anything.
It was black yet white.
It was solid yet there was nothing.
There were oxygen particles yet there were not any.
She could breathe yet she couldn't.
"No."
But then she looked closely.
She knew what it was.
"Reality warping."
It was black because they were in a dark space. So, Nazar tried to turn it into a place where there was something.
Since they were in space, there was nothing solid. So, Nazar tried to turn it into something solid.
They were in space, so oxygen was not around but Nazar tried to add oxygen.
He was trying to reshape it so he can confuse her but he failed.
He failed because…
"Demons are powerful reality warpers."
(Demons? So, the placed the dead demon's energies within her?!) Nazar thought as he clenched his fist.
The corners of her mouth stretched thinly and formed a smile.
"They also possess reality anchoring."
She clenched her body. She collected all of her energies.
"And since you tried to warp reality, it messed up. I rejected it while you were creating it."
She relaxed her body and released a massive omnidirectional energy beam.
The bright energy beam dispersed into nothing after a few seconds.
So, she looked at Nazar.
"You think you can-- Argh?!"
Feeling intense pain caused to trail off and shout in agony and pain.
She looked at her hand and blood was about to burst from her veins.
"Not now. This weak body---"
Nazar appeared right in front of her, which caused her to stop speaking immediately due to fear.
"Eek!"
She tried to jump back but couldn't because the pain in her body made her slow.
She felt like this body would burst into small pieces any second.
"I saw your energies were leaking so I made sure that you would lose everything now," Nazar said to her as he held her by the neck with his left hand.
"Yo-you won't hurt this body, r-right?"
She looked scared now because she felt the body disintegrating and she was losing power.
(Damn you, weak humans. Cannot even contain the powers of a small demon. Pathetic!) She cursed the human body within her heart.
"No. I will not harm my sister's body."
Yes, that's right.
This body belongs to Emma Hall, Nazar's younger sister.
Her body is the host for the demon's energy and this person.
So, he couldn't let her get hurt anymore.
However, if it wasn't Emma's body, Nazar would have killed this person the second they met.
"But I will do something else."
He placed his right hand on her forehead.
"Eh?"
The pain in her body increased but she was more focused on what Nazar was trying to do.
"I am going to take all those energies out of you."
"..........Ah?"
"I couldn't do anything at first because I was confused and conflicted. But once I get rid of my emotions, I don't have to worry about being confused or conflicted."
Nazar started to absorb all of her energies in his right hand.
The energies coming out of her turned into a crystalised energy ball and it started to expand a little once more energy was poured into it.
The woman could see the energy ball floating above her and she started to feel weaker and weaker.
But that was not all.
Nazar saw her skin colour become lighter and lighter.
Her skin colour was returning to normal.
(I can just remove those energies for now. But I will let the professionals handle the rest and save her.)
In a minute, all of that demonic energy was taken out of her body.
Or as much as Nazar could take out of her body.
And she fell unconscious. Her skin was back to normal.
He then teleported in Chias, the throne world of Chochica Empire.
More specifically, Nazar appeared in the castle's infirmary.
He immediately placed her on the bed and teleported out.
He knew that the people working for him might take longer and they might not be able to save her, so he went to someone who can fix this.

On planet Yamer's moon, Darkness was still looking at the dead demon.
But suddenly she felt the demonic magic vanishing.
She knew that Nazar had probably taken care of it.
So, she was about to leave but then looked at the dead demon once more.
"
She wanted to figure out how a powerful demon can be killed by mere mortals.
So, who did it? And how?
""
"Please save her."
She heard a voice behind her.
Darkness looked back and saw Nazar.
"You are the only one who can save her."
Darkness was left speechless. She had no idea what Nazar was talking about.
"That demons energies were placed inside my sister. But her body was not made for stuff like this so she might die."
Darkness gave Nazar a blank look.
And then smiled.
"Why would I save your---"
Nazar held out the energy ball.
"I will give you this demon's energies. Do whatever you like with it."
Nazar's voice started to shake a little.
"So, please… Save her."
Darkness looked at the energy ball and analysed it.
"Please… I will do anything you ask… I will give you whatever you want."
It was this demon's energies. So, Nazar wasn't lying.
She couldn't help but wonder, why would possibly the most powerful person around comes and ask for her help?
"Just save her. I beg you."
And she finally started to look interested in this whole thing.
"Oh?"
"Please, Darkness. You are one of the few people who can do this. I tried but I don't think I can save her properly."
Nazar forced a smile on his face.
"I will give you this demon's energies and maybe something else you need. You will also owe me and I will give you what you want. I can call down an actual demon for you if you want. So, just save her. Please."
"Fine. This will do for now," she said as she smiled thinly.
"Thanks."
"But you will need to call down a high-class demon for me. And you will need to do something else for me. Which I will not name yet."
"Okay."
He handed her the energy ball.
He knew she won't run away with it and she knew that if she runs away, it will be over for her.
So, they both teleported to Chias together.
She didn't have to help him.
She hated him.
But she got three things from him right now. She got the demon's energies and he owes her. And she got to see Nazar begging. It was a rare sight.
လလလ
A few hours later - an unknown planet:
On this empty planet full of forests, there were thousands of people in black robes sitting down.
One of them was standing.
She seemed like their leader.
"
She spoke in a very normal voice but they could all hear her because she was using sound amplification spell.
Sound amplification spell. It allows the user to increase the sound's strength and potential. It can be used for offensive reasons such as using it to produce hypersonic sound attacks but can also be used to increase the volume slightly when speaking to a larger group of audience.
"
Some of the people listening to her looked at each other in a confused manner.
"
One of them raised their hand.
So, she frowned once she saw that.
But then pointed out with her chin.
"
She thought about it for a second.
"
The person who asked her a question didn't look satisfied with the answer.
"
One of them stood up, so she stopped talking.
"
"Sacrifice, huh?"
They heard a voice from every direction.
It spoke in a language they did not know but they knew what it was saying.
"I will sacrifice a world… No, a universe just to hurt him. Even if its slightly. You know what, I actually have done it once."
All of a sudden, there was a gust of wind.
"But to get back to your point, you haven't sacrificed anything. I bring each of them back. And I am the one who killed the demon. So, don't you dare say you have sacrificed anything, you pathetic mortal. And I ask for a small sacrifice… You can't even give me that in return? For all I have done for you and your people, you cannot even give a little in return?"
The wind was very strong, so they all lied down on the ground just to not be thrown away by this powerful wind.
"And to add more salt to the injury, you went against my back. I told you to specifically to not use his sister this early but you all went against my back and used her. I told you to use her very later in the plan. However..."
All of a sudden, the wind vanished.
"I am willing to forgive you for now. The ace up our sleeve is gone… but I am going to forgive you. Because..."
The people slowly raised their heads.
They looked up and saw a winged figure floating above them.
However, they couldn't see him clearly because his back was facing the sun. And the sunlight of the sun was too much for these people, so they raised their hands to cover their eyes.
"I created you. All of you and your people."
He sounded angry.
"I am your god and god is benevolent."
He was slowly coming down.
The people started to remove their hands away from their eyes to get a better look at this winged figure. They knew who it was, but they still wanted to get a better look at him.
"And God's word is also the law. So, do as you are told. And don't act behind my back."
He was a beautiful and muscular man with shoulder-length brown hair and big brown eyes.
He was around 1.82 meters tall.
He was wearing clothes that resembled a dress. It was a small dress that covered his body from his knees to his shoulders.
He had a sash around his lower waist.
But that was not what made people freeze in their place.
It was the wings.
He had two silver metallic wings coming out of his back.
"
He was the person who created the Chochica Empire.
He was the leader of angels.
He was…
"
He was the great angel Michael. He was the leader of the angels.
But then he met a human.
He turned him into an Archangel.
But that's not all.
Nazar did more than that.
"That human… He is way above your league. A mere human with the power of a demon would have never done anything to him. And it was never supposed to."
The people were too surprised about the sudden visit from their god, but even then, they listened to him.
"Physical damage is useless. I destroyed a whole universe with him at its centre but it didn't do him anything. So, I have given up on physical damage. I was going to use her to hurt this human differently but you had to use her this early."
Michael narrowed his voice and lowered his voice to say this to a human who was not around, "You exiled me… Made me powerless… And I am going to make you pay. "
He raised his voice once more and spoke to his people.
"Now go, my creation..."
As he said that, everyone looked up at him at once.
"Mess around with him and his people. Begin the next plan. And I will think about something else that should hurt him a little more."
As he said that, his people looked at one another in confusion again.
He knew what they were thinking.
"Don't worry about failing. Failure is the only option with him. And I am willing to fail a billion times if I have to. I just want to see him feel pain. Just like today."
He flew up and vanished from their view in less than a second.
The woman who was standing up was still standing up but she was confused as well.
She couldn't think properly.
Michael created them, so to them, he is a god. So, a visit from their god was a little too much for them.
And since a god appeared before them, they couldn't decide how to react.
She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.
She then looked at the people around her.
"
She tried to speak but her voice was too low and she was still confused.
So, she cleared her throat.
"
She wasn't sure if anyone heard her but she said what she wanted to say.
