Chapter 63 - In the belly of the beast : Part Three

Endo was still in pain from Vincent stabbing him with his hand; and Vincent was also agonizing as well from his own damage.

"It seems you're not that invincible at all, are you?!," Vincent mocked Endo while coughing blood.

"You may have got me, but that doesn't mean you've won!! I'm still going to devour you!! That's my goal after all!!," Endo replied.

But then, he looked around and a look oh worry dawned on his face; and Vincent was sure about the reason.

"Where's that Werewolf?!," Endo asked in a fit of rage and proceeded to push his hand deep within Vincent's body, which caused Vincent to wail in pain.

Vincent fought the pain, looked up towards Endo, and said, "Face it, you lost the moment I laid my hands on you!!," much to Endo's confusion and annoyance.

Suddenly, a large growl emerged behind Endo and Jason's Werewolf appeared and lunged its teeth deep within Endo's left shoulder.

Endo was in a lot of pain and as a result, he unknowingly released Vincent as he tried to grab Jason's Werewolf with his bloodied hand.

As soon as he touched the Werewolf, a shock came over his body, which made his pain even more agonizing.

To his astonishment, however, he looked forward over a few hundred feet away from him and saw Viola in a loose fighting stance with her right hand holding her sword and right leg back, and her left leg and hand forward.

Viola's left hand had all of her fingers except her index and middle are curled into her palm, with her index and middle fingers extended.

What caught Endo's eye was that as Viola did so, a golden aura surrounded her and looked back at Jason's Werewolf behind him and realized what was happening.

"Aether's Bind!! Impossible!!! How does this girl know this spell?!!," Endo said out of fear and anger.

"Oh. You know this spell also? Fascinating!!," a familiar voice replied back and as Endo looked down, his eyes grew wide in fear.

Vincent, who had received a mortal strike to his abdominal region, had that wound completely healed.

However, as he removed his torn shirt, it revealed his well-built body and a bright red scar which was all that remained of the wound.

A lot of thoughts were entering Endo's mind as he tried to make sense of what was going on, but he then felt a large rumble inside his snake-body's belly.

Suddenly, the underside of the snake ruptured, with Maki seemingly punching her way through and the kids on her back.

Vincent smirked as he saw that Maki had escaped finally and looked back at Endo, saying, "It seems you're surprised about everything that transpired!! Don't worry, I'll explain for you to understand!!"

————————-/——//————————————

At this moment, Viola was still in her enchantment pose and performing the speed on Endo, who was still immobilized by Jason's Werewolf.

"As I was saying…," a voice said and Vincent appeared behind the now-dead snake body and walked to the front view.

As this happened, the Vincent with a hole in his chest started turning into a brown color and totally broke down into dust.

"How?! What's going on?!," Endo said in anger after he realized the Vincent in him crumbled before his eyes.

"Thought you already realized. I planned a clone of mine from the moment you were busy attacking Viola as I knew of your snake species' crushing power," he smirked as he explained.

"And also, Jason over there, showed me how to prepare one on my own, though it's not as good as his," he said as he pointed at the Werewolf, still holding Endo in his massive jaws.

"Ah yes!! I forgot!! You're probably wondering how I was able to appear in front of you instead of Jason, right?"

Vincent then started floating in mid-air and approached Endo right in his face and said, "Well, it's because I'm too good at it."

Suddenly, in a fit of rage, he grabbed Endo's throat, squeezing it tightly to the point of wanting to kill him.

"You invaded this kingdom, attacked me and my friends, and placed my Sensei to the point of death!! There are so many reasons for me to kill you, right here right now!!"

Endo, still suffocating from Vincent's strong grip, then mockingly asked, "Then why don't you do it, then?? After all, you're a Sanguinarian!! You're a killing machine from the moment you existed!!"

Vincent then tightened his grip even more, but Maki brought to his attention to stop after she handed the kids to the guards nearby earlier after her escape.

"Vincent, please, don't give him the pleasure of leaving here easily!! We still need to interrogate him and get as much intel as we can!!"

Vincent then paused for a moment, sighed, and then left Endo.

"You're right. As much as I want to, I can't get rid of him. We need intel and that's we're going to do."

He then nodded at Viola, which she then understood and started chanting some incantations.

As she did, red markings started appearing around Jason's Werewolf's body and slowly made their way to Endo's body.

A bright burst of light started appearing around Viola, who was yelling with her pupils disappeared and her long hair standing on end.

During this process, the marks covered Endo's body and started glowing in response to the ritual.

Endo was yelling in pain and he quickly realized what was happening.

"These brats!! They're to seal my Soul chamber and nullify my Body and Mind chambers to completely paralyze me."

When the spell was cast, Viola collapsed on her knees in exhaustion, and Jason's Werewolf -in response to the pain- ripped Endo out of the snake body with his jaws.

The Werewolf then tossed Endo onto the snake body's exposed abdomen; Endo had no legs, his left shoulder was bleeding profusely because of the Werewolf's bite and he couldn't regenerate quickly because his Soul chamber was completely sealed.

————————-/——//————————————

After this, a bright light shone on Jason's Werewolf and immediately covered him completely.

When the light quickly diminished, it revealed Jason back in his human form, but his appearance was slightly different.

His hair was still brown but had blond extensions streaming on each strand; he grew a significant amount in size and shockingly age; apparently he looked just like any twelve-year-old boy but measured around five feet and seven inches tall.

He also bore red markings spiraling his entire right arm until it extended to his right chest.

He was more fit and more developed and that surprised everyone except for Vincent, who understood the phenomenon.

"The Omega Transmutation. It's a rare phenomenon that only happens in the elite monster classes. When the requirements are met, the individual affected experiences a change in appearance and age; his or her Mana reserves increases exponentially based on the new physical abilities; and they still maintain their thoughts just like I did."

"But that does not explain the markings he has on his right arm. I know I did not get any markings when I had my own Omega Transmutation."

Vincent then got close to Endo, who was bleeding and coughing blood, and started in a cold tone, "You're going to pay for what you did here, and you're going to tell me who sent you to kill me when we first encountered. I promise you!!"

Endo then started chuckling and looked at Vincent and replied, "Well then, you will find out… in the afterlife!!"

He then brought out his right hand and blew ash in Vincent's face, making him to be blinded and in a bit of pain as he tried to wipe his eyes.

Endo then raised his left arm -wielding a small dagger and bore a unique marking contrary to the markings from Viola's spell- and tried to attack Vincent.

Esmeralda was still keeping Dante alive; Maki and especially Viola were exhausted; and Jason just turned back into a human but was not too close to get Vincent out of Endo's range.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, cut off Endo's left hand and kicked Vincent out of the way, which Jason was able to catch him.

The figure -who wore a brown trenchcoat and had a hood over his head with a face mask- then looked directly at Jason, who saw the figure's eye color.

After that brief contact, the figure then turned towards Endo, placed his hand on Endo's face.

"Burn!!," was the word he said as he touched Endo much to the hearing of everyone else present.

As soon as he said that, Endo immediately burst into flames, to the shock of everyone.

Vincent also saw everything and in a fit of rage, rushed towards the figure but got knocked out by him.

The figure looked at Jason again and then left as quickly as he appeared.
