Chapter 8 - Demon vs. Adventurers

The demon with a spear stuck to his body and a missing arm, Makarith of the Valley, are standing still with frustrated look in the railings of the V.I.P area

"I shall be back, I just need to kill this annoying pest outside" Makarith said with an gentle tone

Makarith jump down to the arena and in a blink of an eye grab Raoulin in the neck and lift him up off to his feet

"Let me educate you pesky humans!" Makarith said

While choking Raoulin to death he said, "don't put me in the same level of those puny demons you fought before, us demons with titles are far stronger than them"

Makarith then raised his severe arm and show it being regenerated and pulled the stuck spear out of him with ease

"Us demons with title has special skill that is unique to each one of us, as you can see cutting a limb or two will not kill me, have figure it out with your tiny brain?" Makarith asked

Hearing that Makarith is not faze with his limbs regenerate some adventurers start asking with fear, "then is he an immortal? How can we defeat him if he is?"

"HUH?! Immortal you say?" Makarith asked

"Yes, yes, I am an immortal stab my heart or cut my head and I will not die! HAHAHAHA" Makarith said then laugh wickedly

Without any hesitation Hiroko stab Makarith where his heart but miss it, out of anger Makarith throw Raoulin to Hiroko and pulled out the sword

"Damn human! A freaking surprise attack!" Makarith said angrily

Makarith started attacking Hiroko left and right with his fast jab, Hiroko kept on dodging Makarith attack but not all of it are being dodge, Hiroko's armour are starting to crack as he got hit with each attack

"He is not immortal, don't jump conclusion, His unique skill is ˹Super Regeneration˼" Hiroko shouted

"Tsk! At least one of you is knowledgeable" Makarith frustrated said

Hearing what Hiroko said, the other adventurer started attacking without hesitation, 1 demon vs. 29 adventurer, Hiroko lay Raoulin who are injured to a safe place and join the farce.

Even though this is the first time they are fighting together Hiroko and the others are fighting co-ordinately, but Makarith are fighting all of them equally, defending some attacks and every magic, every wound he acquire just heals up.

In the south entrance of the arena, a person wearing an unusual white clothes with a fox mask came in light, he was there watching as the farce unfold and since the audience are praying and hoping for the adventurers win, they are watching the fight closely and all 29 adventurers are too focus in fighting, so no one even notice he arrive, the person is was Shino

A moment after Shino came out the near the entrance, as Shino walked toward the light he change his clothing into a formal white butler suit, and covered his blacked hair with white string turning his hair into white with ˹Thread Magic˼, He arrived in the middle of the farce

"Hhmm… looks like those guy got it, good job competitors" Shino said

Meanwhile in the platform where the king and the princess are watching Captain Richard said, "While the adventurer are still fighting the demon, none of the audience notice it but the demon magic is disable now, let's get out of here my king, princess"

King Herald refuse to move and said, "Take the princess with you Richard, I will see this battle through"

Princess Azalea also refuse to move and said, "Father, if he is staying here then I'll stay here, it is also my duty to see if humanity can be victorious in the face of the demon"

With King Herald and Princess Azalea refusing to run away Captain Richard bow down

"My king, princess… as your wish, and as your personal guards we will protect you with our lives" Richard said with determination

King Herald and Princess Azalea continue to watch the farce unfold and Princess Azalea even jokingly said, "Maybe one of them will be my husband"

The King laugh and said, "If your future husband is one of the fighter, I will not opposed"

But then something caught Princess Azalea's attention, a person wearing an unusual white clothing similar to the butler with a mask

"A fox?" Princess Azalea asked

"Is there something matter my daughter?" King Herald asked

"Well~ yes, there is an unusual looking man standing in the south entrance of the arena" Princess Azalea said worriedly

Captain Richard took a look and also notice the said person

"You are right princess, an acquaintance of the demon? Should I send someone to restrain him?" Captain Richard asked

"No don't… I don't know why but I think it is better to let him be" Princess Azalea said

Captain Richard replied, "But princess if…"

King Herald stop him and said, "Trust her just for this once, that person, I also don't know why but I sense that man is not an enemy"

"Yes, you're Majesty" Captain Richard stand down and just let the person in white be.

As the fight goes on everyone is gravely injured and the mages are exhausted, and few only remain standing.

Makarith are also exhausted but not as exhausted as his opponents, Makarith instigated them by saying, "Is that all you got? I haven't been serious yet"

Hiroko called him out and said, "Stop bluffing, you are just as tired as us"

The situation is dire for the adventurer, out of 28 of them 10 had died and the rest are injured or gravely injured, the only people who left standing are, Hiroko Yusha, Brice Alderman, Reeve Garner, Yeoman Adam, and Dame Roisai.

"Oi kid, can you still fight?" Brice asked while panting

"Yes, I will fight until my legs and arm gave up" Hiroko replied enthusiastically

"It is nice to be young, such fighting spirit, well we can't anymore, we are going to put everything we got to make an opening for you, kill him kid, you got this" Brice said

Hiroko was confused and when he look back he saw the smile with his fellow adventurer who are exhausted from this long hard fight

"Are you done with your little plan, too bad it will not work" Makarith said proudly

Brice then shouted, "EVERYONE, LETS GO!!"

Dame started chanting, "Blooming as red as a rose, flaming as hot as Lava, be reborn my spirit and breathe again, ˹Phoenix˼"

A fire rose up surrounding Dame and a Phoenix, Spirit of Fire, has risen

Dame command the Phoenix, "Burn that Demon Icarus"

The Phoenix breath fire to the demon, Makarith are being burn and said, "Damn it, to think someone has been acknowledge by one of the fire spirit, but I can still jump away"

Reeve then intervene and said, "I won't let you! ˹Berserker style: Ground Shaker˼"

Reeve pound his axe to the ground and cracks started to form toward Makarith and the ground his standing start shaking thus preventing him to move

The Phoenix fire die down along with its form and Dame fainted in the spot

Yeoman then step in and started to chant, "Darkness of abyss, heed my call and bind my opponent, ˹Shadow Chain˼"

A black chain has tied down Makarith hands and feet to the ground, and Yeoman started to dash to Makarith,

Yeoman followed it up with ˹Assasin Style: Four slash Dash˼

In instant Makarith hands and feet are cut off and started to fall down

"WHAT?! Wait, wait, don't" Makarith said out of panic

Brice, who are running towards him with Hiroko said, "Like we will let you regenerate those limbs, ˹Sword Style: Splitter˼"

Brice release a powerful attack but Makarith blocked it with his head and with a smile on Makarith

"I-diot. My head is tougher than any of my body" Makarith said

"I am not the one who will deliver the finishing blow" Brice said and added, "KID! Finish it"

Brice move out of the way and Hiroko are behind him ready to swing his sword,

"˹Sword Style: Divine judgement˼" Hiroko said with his eye glowing

Hiroko swing his sword with all his might downward, slicing through Makarith Head and heart, the crowd who were matching all the time and covered by fear was suddenly ecstatic and in uproar, applaud and praise them loudly as they kill the demon.

Everyone who fight the demon was exhausted, Brice gave Hiroko a thumbs up before collapsing and the other who remain standing till the end are unable to get up. Hiroko who remain standing raise his sword in the air declaring that the adventures won

King Herald and Princess Azalea stood up and also applauded along with Captain Richard and his men

Also Shino who were watching in a disguise applauded and said, "That is pretty close, it is like I am watching an fight scene, Is that guy a protagonist?"

"Well it looks it is done now, I should go, getting here and being worried, what a fool" Shino added

As Shino walk away under the loud applause of people a echoing voice was heared
