Chapter 16 - Go! Gáe Bulg!!!

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…
