Chapter 4 - The years of contract

~3 months later~

I was like a killer, no i was a killer, after all that happened, i never knew i have to do all of this to get to the underworld.

After me and Shi met we exchanged contract and i became his vessel.

Shi: Shake my hand.

Yuuta: Why?

Shi: To form the contract completely.

I shook his hand and then an intense pain flowed into my veins and brain. And then my left arm became his left arm. In short, i sold my left arm to a devil.

Shi: We only have 1 year if you won't be able to save your wife and if i didn't able to kill the dark lord we will both die. And remember when i am here you won't die unless my powers are drained and your body can't maintain it. Are you ready to die Shintaki Yuuta?

Ever since i was in a hellish training and trying to maintain the devil inside me. It was hard to live that way. I had to resign from my job, my reputation was destroyed and the story is that my wife died but her body wasn't found. Her family was blaming me for everything.

Yuuta: Aren't you going to use this opportunity to use my emotions to let me go berserk?

Shi: I mean i could do that, this is just the start of your suffering so, now that you cut ties with all of your human relatives. Are you ready to take some souls? And go to the underworld.

Yuuta: I haven't mastered all of your abilities, but i need to hurry because i don't have much time.

Shi: Then i shall tell you, you need 200 souls of human beings to be able to withstand the pressure of the gatekeepers.

Yuuta: I have lost everything, now i have to kill 200 people, what else would happen?

Shi: If you want to save your wife and child, you have to slay 200 people and eat their souls for you to get stronger.

Starting from that day, i became a human-killing machine, with no feelings and only desire is to save his family.

Shi: What will you do now?

Yuuta: So, all i have to do is to kill 200 people.

Shi: Let's go.

My first target was a arena full of people.

Yuuta: If i kill all this people it should be more than enough.

Shi: The more soul you collect the more you are stronger.

Yuuta: Let's destroy this arena.

As i approach the arena my left hand sensed something.

Shi: This is bad.

Yuuta: What happened?

Shi: An angel type has arrived here.

Yuuta: The ones who stops all the devil users from killing people.

Shi: Yeah. They go down in earth and live like a human, but they actually save people.

Yuuta: So, if we kill this angel, we can kill all this people?

Shi: So, you've become a devil yourself, you don't care what happens to this innocent people?

Yuuta: I told you, i will become a devil or anything to save my wife.

Shi: Well, as a devil myself i prefer you that way. Shall we go?

Yuuta: Let's go.

As we entered the arena. Over 20,000 people are watching the game. Me and Shi planted bombs at the corners of the arena.

Yuuta: Time to get out of here.

Shi: You won't let a single soul escape right?

Yuuta: Yeah i won't.

As i pushed the button, nothing happened.

Yuuta: What happened? Is i want to say but it looks like...

Lots of bombs exploded at my back.

"It's over devil, your plan failed."

Yuuta: An angel i see.

A girl, with white haird and i could say, have looks. I remember my wife's white hair from her. But...

Shi: Looks like we have to fight right now.

"Oh, as expected of a devil vessel. Only a holy slash could kill you."

Yuuta: Can she kill me with that?

Shi: Possibly if she hit your brain.

Yuuta: So, i have to use the things you taught me.

Shi: This might be a good training.

"Too bad for you, I am not just some angel."

Shi: What? Maybe she's an...

"That's right, my name is Silva, one of the gatekeepers of heaven's gate."

Shi: This is bad.

Yuuta: Why?

Shi: This guys are dangerous. They are the ones who took down one of the general devils.

Yuuta: Then if we kill this girl, we can kill all the people in here?

Shi: You are really planning to kill her? One of the strongest devils died in her hands.

Yuuta: I don't care. If she's one of the obstacle to save my wife. I'll destroy her.

Silva: Strong words human, or should i say monster.

Yuuta: I'll be a monster or anything for my loved one.

Silva: Then you will need to be judge by the heavens, i hereby punish this human and the punishment will be his very life.

Yuuta: Bring it angel.

Silva: Holy sword release!

Yuuta: death's left arm.

We would face each other where no one is near us and only superhuman beings can see us.

Silva: Divine barrier.

Yuuta: Time to go. Shadow punch!

Silva: Bow human.

As i run towards her, the pressure kept me on the ground and can't stand up.

Silva: Time to slice your head off.

She points her sword at my neck and every time it hit my neck, my skin burns.

So, this is the power of angels. Bring it on girl.
