Chapter 15 - It’s Not Like That…

Eric tried to ran off away from the places before the big guy could catch on him but to his surprise his leg was caught on something

When he turned to look at his legs it looks like a hook had already caught to him

"Garh!"

Shout Eric as he is being pulled by the hook toward the big guy

Eric quickly turned his boy upward and tried to take off the hook from him but he is being distract by the big guy who is throwing every sort of things on his way

At the end the big guy managed to catch Eric with his hand thanks to the hook

Struggling, Eric tried to hit the big guy with his fist to made the big guy let him go but it was futile

"Let me go! You big ugly bi-"

But before Eric could finish his word the big guy stuff his mouth with something he could grab on the table

Eric then is being carried away by the big guy from the room toward the confinement room

But the moment they arrived toward the chemical section, Eric suddenly got an idea to which he tried immediately

He then swings his spear toward the chemical shelves and knocked them off from it

Because of that it creates an extreme chemical reaction…

Which is explosion…

Eric planned were a success as one of the explosions, he made knocks the big guy down indisputably freeing Eric

He then rushed out of the room without even having a single doubt to look behind him

Eric planned was indisputably works out well for him

But…

It might not goings to be that well for the other side person

On Arashi side

While these two were having a time for themselves suddenly they felt a shaking on the ground which shocks the both of them

"What was that?" Said Ayu unease

"Kyle, come in…"

"Kyle!" Ayu shout through her walkie talkie which seems to be the big guy name

Arashi stands up and started to look around, and then he just realizes that Eric might be in danger because of that shaking

"Eric…"

Out of impulse Arashi let out Eric named which he is supposed not to say during these time

"Did you just say, Eric?" Ask Ayu starting to look doubt

"He's here?"

Ayu kept pushing Arashi with question as soon as she heard his name

"Wait…Let me explain…" Said Arashi

Ayu just shakes her head, for some reason she felt betrayed

"Is he the one who cause all of this?!"

Ayu suddenly shouts toward Arashi, this time he could felt her anger through her action

"Is the reason you ask me to open up to you is so that you can distract me into giving your friends time?"

Arashi starts to look guilty but he is trying to explain it through with Ayu

"It's not like that…" Said Arashi pleading

Ayu just took a step back the moment Arashi tried to get close to her

She then shook her head trying to get things that troubling her mind off

Afterward she turned toward the sleeping devil who are slowly waking up due to the loud explosion noises and the fallen bricks from the ceiling

Arashi as he realized what Ayu is trying to do, tried to stops her

"Wait! Ayu don't do it!" Shout Arashi toward Ayu way

Ayu turned her view toward Arashi face with a fierce look

Arashi take a step back a bit as he saw that look on her face

"And why should I listen to you?" she said calmly

She then turned her view once again toward the sleeping devil and hit it with her ability

That hit indisputably woke up the devil

The looks on the devil weren't only angry as it were force to wake up from its sweet dream but it also seems to look hungry after seeing Arashi in front of him

As soon as it woken up from it sleep, it screams so loud that almost all the windows in the building to broke

"Arashi…I would like to introduce to you…"

"The Azathoth…" said Ayu proudly

The devil that had just evolve in front of Arashi right now looks more like a big giant worm with sharp teeth that it almost gave a chill through Arashi spine

It without a doubt a lot much different from all the devil Arashi has fought

Fears started to clouded Arashi mind as his body couldn't stop trembled

But he couldn't do anything as his body is tied up and he still had the felt of guilty inside his heart toward Ayu

Ayu looks over toward Arashi once more before making her decision

There's a bit of doubt inside her heart to let Arashi died but her anger outmatched that feeling

"Azathoth…"

The devil seemingly turns its head toward Ayu

"You must be hungry right?"

"That guy is your meal…"

"I hope you enjoyed your meal…" said Ayu smiling

The monster to which Ayu keep calling as Azathoth turn its head toward Arashi and immediately reach out on of its tentacle and grab Arashi

Arashi tried to made its drop him off but it was futile as Azathoth has him tied up with his tentacle

Azathoth then brings Arashi over to what it seems like the mouth of Azathoth which fills with sharp teeth

Arashi took a look toward Ayu way thinking it might be his last time and the reaction on Ayu face shocks him as he just grits his teeth accepting his death

"Sorry…" Said Arashi under his breath

Azathoth slowly drops Arashi down his throat until…

"Wait!!!" Shout some familiar voice

Both Arashi and Azathoth were looking toward the source of sound and the person who came out of it is indisputably Eric

"Eric!" Shout Arashi feeling relieves to see the sight of Eric

"I'm sorry for making you wait Arashi!" Shout Eric back

He then creates a few icicles out of his ability and throw it at Azathoth

Azathoth shrieks out loud after being hit by Eric icicle, it taken Arashi out of its mouth and wiggle him around

At that moment Eric didn't waste any moment and throw Arashi sword toward Azathoth tentacles that is holding Arashi

After escaping from being eating out alive by Azathoth, Arashi hurriedly rushed to his sword and cuts off the magical rope that been tying him up

To his surprised it indeed works as he is finally freed from it

Eric is looking relieves to see that Arashi managed to free himself but then he senses danger coming to him

He immediately avoids the attack thrown by Ayu from afar

"Why are you interfering?!" Shouts her

"I'm sorry lady, but I can't have you serve my friend for your pet." Said Eric sarcastically

That word seems to anger Ayu off as she immediately began to sends more attack toward Eric

Eric was barely managed to block every attack but there is some that he didn't manage to

"Eric!"

From afar Arashi shout over to Eric as he seen him struggling

"Don't worry about me!"

"You deal with that devil!" Shouts Eric

Arashi stops for a bit as he heard Eric orders, but then he made up my mind and turned toward Azathoth

"Leave it to me…" Said Arashi confident

Ayu as she saw that Arashi is trying to attack Azathoth tried to stops him but she was disturbed by Eric as he thrown a snowball toward her

"Your opponent is right here." Said Eric while provoking Ayu

To which Ayu took the bait and became mad at him

Seeing how Ayu took the bait, Eric readied himself with his spear on the hand

"Take this!!!" Shout Ayu as she thrown a magical attack toward Eric,

Eric blocked it with ease

"Is that the best you can do?" Provoke Eric

Ayu head start to look explode with anger as she can't hold the feeling anymore

Her eyes start to glow red and the air around them starts to change

This change of weather gives a bit of terrifying feeling toward everyone who is close to the surrounding

"Maybe I provoke her too much…" said Eric starting to regret his decision

(You just realized that?) Thought Arashi inside his head

Just as he is looking toward the situation between Eric and Ayu, he suddenly sensed the danger coming right to him

Azathoth tentacle once again tried to caught Arashi but this time its different as Arashi keep cutting off its tentacle each time it coming to him

Azathoth shriek loudly and for some reason its movement seems to be more aggressive than before

Probably because the changes of air inside the room is making its to feels threatened

Just as Arashi is focusing on the changes of Azathoth mood, His view suddenly turned toward Eric which are being cornered by angry Ayu

Eric as he tried to block the attack thrown to him by Ayu couldn't hold it anymore as accidentally let his guard down and because of that he got attack by Ayu magics

That attack thrown Eric to the wall making it to break

"Eric!" shout Arashi as he saw Eric fell down to the ground flat

Just then both of their eye finally met

Arashi stood freeze as he looks at the fierce looking Ayu

Just then out of nowhere….
