Ayumi with her fierce look over toward Arashi while charging her magical attack but before she could do that
Azathoth grabs her with its tentacle and tried to eat her out of the confusion
"What the?!"
"Let me go!!!" Shout Ayu
She then struggled to make Azathoth to let her go but it was futile as Azathoth have her wraps tightly
Through the confusion, Arashi ran over toward Eric to see his condition
"Eric!"
"Are you okay?" Ask Arashi worried
Eric nodded his head
"Yeah, just a slight headache…" said Eric trying to ignore the fact that he is bleeding hard
Arashi tried to help Eric gets up from the floor, then the both of them looks over toward Ayu who are struggling to made Azathoth to let her go
Arashi slightly took a step to helps Ayu from being eaten but he was stopped by Eric
"Its better if you don't"
"But-"
"She's a Demon Arashi!"
Eric shouts toward Arashi which shocks him a bit
He then just grips his fist and turn his view to the other place
As then Azathoth raised Ayu toward its mouth trying to eat her, Ayu tried to struggles her way out of this but it isn't working
Fears started to get to her as she is slowly being shove into Azathoth mouth
For the last time she looks over toward Arashi trying to ask for help but he just turned his face which hurts her
She then closed her eyes as she accepted her fate
Just out of sudden…
Azathoth screams in pain
Ayu tried to open her eyes to see what is happening with the situation
To her surprises, she is freed from Azathoth grip and is being carried on by Arashi
Ayu is in a state of disbelief to see Arashi willingly to save her from being eaten
"Why?" Ayu asks still in disbelief
Arashi took a deep breath and slowly puts Ayu down on the ground
"I'm…sorry for lying to you…"
"I know it was wrong…"
"I'm sorry…"
Ayu took a step back when Arashi tried to approach her, seeing her being distant Arashi stopped trying to approach her
"We are enemies…We shouldn't get along with each other…"
Hearing that hurt Ayu a bit as she's gripping on her dress
"But I can't stand the sight of you crying…"
suddenly that word that came out of Arashi mouth surprised Ayu that she looks up toward Arashi face
As she looks up, Arashi can see a bit of tear falls down her eye
He then grits his teeth trying to hold himself
"I don't know why but…"
"Seeing you crying hurts me…"
"That's why…"
Arashi gets closer toward Ayu
Ayu was about to attack Arashi with her magical power but she feels a bit hesitated
As he gets closed to her, He slowly raised his hand
This action scared Ayu as she thought that Arashi is about to hit her
She immediately hides her face trying to cover it but then she felts a gently touch toward her left cheeks
"I'm going to save you…" said Arashi as he wipes off the tears from her cheeks
That word shocks Ayu as she looks straight into Arashi eyes
"What?" Said her confused
Arashi didn't replied instead he turned over toward Azathoth as its shrieks stops
But before he goes into the battle, he turned his face toward Ayu once more
"I can't tell you how…"
"But if you trust me…"
"I'm certainly going to save you…" Said Arashi with confidence
He then leaped down toward Eric side as he just left him to treat himself alone and leaves Ayu alone with her thought thinking about what Arashi just said
Just a little bit her cheeks turn red over what just happened
Eric while he was recovering himself is just shaking his head at Arashi foolishness for trying to saves their enemy
But for some reason Eric is respecting Arashi boldness in trying to do what is impossible
"You are a fool but I respect you for that…" said Eric under his breath
Arashi then arrived at Eric side and tried to help him recovered
"Sorry, did I make you wait?" Ask Arashi
"Not really, but you shouldn't worry about me right now…" Said eric while pointing at something
Arashi look over toward the thing Eric is pointing which is Azathoth and to his surprises Azathoth is trying to escaped from the place
"Is it aiming for the city?"
Said Arashi as he looks toward Eric for confirmation
"Might be…It had lost its senses now its aiming for the city as its filled with fresh delicious human…"
"We can't let that happen!" Said Arashi as he draws his sword
"But how?"
"It seems that every time we attack its regenerate its limb every second." Said Arashi worried
Eric tried to gets up and stand on his feet, noticing that Arashi tried to helps him but Eric declined
"That's why I've had already thought of a way to win while you save that demon." Said Eric with confidence
Arashi look surprised but he is excited to hear that Eric have an idea how to defeats the devil
"What is the idea?" Ask Arashi impatience
Eric just turned to look at Arashi face with a confident look
"Every devils in this world have their own weakness but the most stands out one is…"
"Their heart…"
Before eric could finish explaining his plans Arashi suddenly interrupt
"So we just have to destroy its heart to defeat it instantly right?!"
"But where do we find its heart?" Said Arashi as he looks over Azathoth big and tall worm like figure
Eric just let out a sigh before slightly hitting Arashi head
"That's why you should heard me talking and not interrupted…"
"Sorry…" Said Arashi while rubbing his forehead
Eric shakes his head trying to focus on defeating Azathoth
He then calls out Arashi named to which Arashi respond with yes
"I need you to distract the monster while I charge my ability…"
Eric then grabbed his spear and start to charges his ability
Arashi didn't knew what Eric is planning to do, but he quite understand his purpose right now
Arashi then readied himself to distract Azathoth but he was stopped by eric out of sudden
"Hey!"
Arashi turned toward his back to see Eric
"You sure that "girlfriend" of yours won't interfere?" Ask Eric while he's kept on charging his spear
Hearing that Arashi turned over to look at Ayu who are still sitting on the edge of the ground looking down at them
"I don't think so…" said Arashi as he turned back toward Eric
Eric just nods slightly saying that he understands Arashi
"And she isn't my girlfriend…" Said Arashi before he turned back toward Azathoth
Eric just smiles sarcastically after hearing Arashi said that
"Sure you aren't."
Arashi as he dashed out to catch on Azathoth finally reached its
He then draws his sword and hit the bottom of Azathoth making its to stop its movement
After stopping its movement, Arashi stand in front of Azathoth
"I won't let you go further than this…" Said Arashi while drawing his blade
Azathoth shrieks at Arashi for trying to stop it from eating, Azathoth then tried to attack Arashi with its tentacle but most of it were blocks and cuts by Arashi
Both of them keep exchanging blow until one of them can't stand it anymore
Meanwhile Eric as he finally done charging his spear turn over toward Azathoth
He then aims his spear directly toward Azathoth but he is taking a big precaution as he only have one shot in this
The moment he had the right angle to aim his spear he quickly shouts at Arashi
"Arashi get out of the way now!" Shout Eric alerting Arashi
Arashi as he heard Eric shouting quickly move from the way leaving Azathoth on its position
Eric then starts chanting a magic word over his sword which is making the surrounding to feel a bit windy
His spear starts to glow red and at that moment Eric throws his spear straight aiming at Azathoth heart
"Go!"
"Gáe Bulg!" Shout Eric as he thrown his spear toward Azathoth
His spear indefinitely flying on a top speed straight toward Azathoth back piercing its body from inside and that attack managed to hit its heart killing it instantly
Azathoth body slowly crumble into dust as due to being hit throught its heart, Arashi is surprised to see that their planned success that he falls a to his knees due to exhaustion
"We did it…" said him trying to catch his breath
"They won…" said Ayu as she's in a state of disbelief after seeing them defeats Azathoth
She then slowly turns and leaves the place before Arashi could notice her leaving
Eric as he felt exhausted after using his full power finally fallen onto the ground due to exhaustion
Arashi who noticed that quickly stands on his legs again to get over to Eric
"Eric?!" Arashi shouts at Eric
But he didn't reply, it seems that he passed out due to a massive blood loss
Afterward Arashi took Eric home after calling for backups to search the building incase there are more mystery that still aren't unveil yet
Arashi also tried to look for Ayumi after the mission ended but he couldn't find a single trace of her afterward…
