Chapter 28 - Chapter 27

I made eye contact with the lady standing a few feet away from me and I suddenly plummeted into the rocky ground in a blink of an eye. I couldn't move again it's just like what happened in the infirmary when I was pushed to the wooden wall by an invisible force, but this time the strength was so powerful that I instantly cant breathe. I panted for air but because I was being shoved into the ground with great strength. My muscles screamed in pain and some of my bones cracked, my skin split and blood came spurting from my arms and legs.

"Maybe you should go easy on him...Talia."

"HEEHEE, why would I go easy on something fun! I have to put in full effort!"

"Sigh....why are you always like this..." remarked Gleesh

She continued to laugh at me like a lunatic, she might be beautiful on the outside, but she's rotten to the core. The ground around me begun to crack as the force got stronger by the second. I retaliated but it was useless, nothing from my skillset can battle this strong force. I managed to turn my head around and I sneered at her to make her furious, to my surprise it worked and she began to get even more furious. I'm doing this to distract her because I had something in mind that might get me out of this sticky situation.

"YOU THINK YOUR BEAUTIFUL? YOUR JUST ONE OLD UGLY WOMAN!!"

"HUH? WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TO BRAT?!" she shouted back

I just need that one moment in between where she would remove the force then apply it back with even greater strength. A split second passed by and I felt kind of light and this must probably be the time to strike. Before she could apply her strength back I swiftly used corrosion on the air and it suddenly teleported me and sent me flying a few hundred feet away from them. They gasped out of surprise as they suddenly saw me appear to their west.

"YOU SNEAKY LITTLE BRAT!?" she snapped as she started propelling her self with an unseen force

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

Now that I provoked her and she's currently leaping through the air at terrifying speeds, I need to think of a plan as to what to do when she arrives. Somehow using corrosion on the air teleported me at a great distance and I need to use this more efficiently as I'm currently exhausted. I could hear the sounds of explosions in the air but there wasn't anything visible, the sounds came from Talia stepping on the air with great force. I transformed so that I could have some additional strength if I'm facing her head-on. I readied the Nemax and the shield of prejudice and I braced for impact.

"OY LITTLE BRAT I'M HERE ALREADY WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?"

"W-What th-"

She was immediately in front of me as she shouted and she clenched her fist preparing for a strong punch. I immediately blocked it with the shield but it was useless as I got pushed back several feet and my foot sunk into the dry earth. The punch was so powerful that I saw her left arm glow before punching and the gust of wind was so strong that it left my black hair to stay upright.

"You sure are one annoying brat!"

"H-hey I was joking about what I said a while ago...."

"No, take it backs!"

"What are you a child?"

"A c-child?!"

She stopped in her tracks as she stuttered and her face glowed pink. I didn't even say anything embarrassing. She stood still and Gleesh came over and he moved his hand in front of her red face but she wasn't moving at all.

"Sorry about all this Tarus, we were planning to test your skills but your mentor here has a thing for younger boys...."

"What the hell...."

"Sorry for the inconvenience....well then I shall be your mentor now!"

"What do you mea-"

Gleesh made a ball of lightning which glowed yellow in color and he suddenly placed it on my chest which suddenly exploded and sent me flying. I've been flying so much today I wonder what's wrong. I flew high in the air and I used corrosion on the air to teleport back down safely. Instead of landing on the ground properly, I was pushed by someone on my back and I crashed into a hill and my bones broke, even more, my regenerative abilities seem to be weakened as I'm not healing properly. I'm exhausted and blood still kept on flowing and I vomited a bit. My body is in pain and my stomach is empty, with bones shattered, muscles screaming, this is even more painful than getting my arms and legs ripped off. I opened my heavy eyelids to see Gleesh floating in the air with his arms crossed and him sighing.

"I guess you don't have enough motivation, bring them here!"

He ordered somebody and brought a person beside Gleesh and he lifted the by the hands and person who wore a mask over their head as to cover the face. My vision was blurry but the person in Gleesh's hand seems to be the same as my height or a bit smaller than me. I tried to catch a glimpse of the person and my tired body won't listen to me but I retaliated, to my surprise the person was non-other than Kasu! She wore the maid outfit I picked out for her and no other person would wear that...

"G-Gleesh, what the hell do you want?"

"Now, now, Tarus I need you to calm down, we mean no harm, we just want to push you to get your first horn."

"I-I'm not like a demon...."

"That's not what I meant, horns are exclusive to demons and us the 8th sins, so the more horns you have the more powerful you get."

"A-Ah...I see...."

"Well let me just demonstrate something!"

He removed the bag from Kasus's head and she was awake and mouth covered in some type of cloth. Gleesh then formed a blade out of ice and he struck Kasu in the back of her chest and she reached her frail arms to me but her consciousness began to fade. Gleesh then threw her body to me and I did my best to hold her tight as I glared at Gleesh with all my might.

"Now that's the spirit! The only way to heal her is to get the antidote on me!"

I clenched my teeth and blood begun to flow out of my eyes instead of tears. Instead of shouting, I continued to glare at him while hugging Kasu's unconscious body. I covered ourselves with the weeping and shadow and gates of hell for extra protection. I opened up my sector at will and I placed Kasu in a safe area and Zeichi and Hel seem to be confused about what's going on so I just left the sector. I'm swelling with rage and bloodlust against Gleesh and I need to get the antidote from him.

"KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL"

Driven mad with rage a horn started forming on my forehead...
