"...!"
"... Heh, you do are a strong assassin, I admit it. But, it's such a pity that you challenged someone far superior to you." I chuckled.
Terlon attacked me but I stopped his fist. I grabbed his hand before it to hit me. He tried to withdraw but was unable to free himself from my grip.
"... What's the matter? Weren't you going to kill me, why did you stopped?"
"YOUU! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! HOW CAN YOU HAVE STRENGTH TO BLOCK MY ATTACK AFTER GETTING BEATEN SO HARD!!!"
"Heh, 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙣? I didn't even feel your attacks,"
"Wha-?!" I raised my head, and looked Terlon in eyes.
"H-He... He is unscratched!" Red hairs said in surprise.
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬, 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴...
"Wh-What is this magical energy?! There is no way a human can emit such amount of energy!" Terlon shriver in fear.
He tried to go back but I was still holding his hand so he unable to escape.
"Well if you're not going to kill me, then I will."
"!"
Pulled his hand to close his distance from me. I clenched my fist, and then punched is face.
He traveled in air for few seconds just before hitting the ground quite a few times. I followed him with my speed and while he was hitting the ground, facing roof, still in motion, I kicked him in ribs, and he went again on a journey, this time, to hit a wall.
He spit blood out of his mouth, his face was swollen and was in poor conditions. Only two blows were enough to make his condition like this.
"Alright, now get up already. Don't tell me you're dead after just few blows,"
"Y-YOUUU, COUGH... I'LL KILL, COUGH... Y-YOUU, COUGH COUGH." Wow, he is even coughing blood, did I actually hit him that hard?
"Well then, I'll end this in next three attacks." I stated.
Listening my threat, he stand up again slowly.
"RAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!" Terlon charged up, releasing aura full of killing intents.
Lucia and others got back due to immense pressure, covering there face. They were even forced to kneel due to pressure.
Me, on the other hand,
"Boring..."
" ! "
I appeared behind Terlon. He froze in surprise and was scare to hell.
...𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦? 𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘺? 𝘈𝘩𝘩, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯.
I was again that same face... That ruthless grin, those horrifying expression, I can say for sure that anyone who is not use to this see me like this will surely be scared to hell no matter who they are.
"... One!"
I punched him on face again, before he could do anything, he it the floor hard and bounced back, upward.
"..." I used telekinetic force to blow him and he fall few distance away.
"Two more and it's over..." I walked towards him slowly-slowly, step by step.
(Wh-What is this?! It feels like de-death is coming to me himself! W-W-Who is this guy! A-At this rate, I-I-I will surely be dead in his next two attacks.) Terlon thought.
"PLEASE, FORGAVE ME! I HAVE DONE SOMETHING THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE... I BEG YOU, PLEASE SPARE MY LIFE!" Terlon begged for his life.
"Heh, really, you're asking for forgiveness,"
"P-P-PLEASE SPARE ME! I'LL DO ANYTHING THAT YOU'LL ORDER, JUST LET ME LIVE!"
"Oh, then will you gave me all the information about Demon Lord and his empire you know?"
"Y-YEAH, I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW A-AND WOULD BE LOYAL TO YOU, S-SO P-PLEASE LET ME LIVE!"
After listening his words, I sighed, and then laughed.
"Heh... Do you think really think that I'll let you go after what you said,"
I again appeared in front of him, and knee him in abdomen,
"AAAUUUGHHH!!!"
He screamed in pain as he again traveled in air for few moments before hitting the floor hard, again.
"...Two."
"PLEASE LEAVE ME I BEGGGG YOUUUU!!!"
"You're an assassin and you're will to betray your master and provide all the information to us. A true assassin will die but never tell the name of the one who hired them no matter what. You are blot on the name of assassins... I can't believe in the words of likes of you. I don't need any information from you, I'll gain it myself so you can die in peace."
"!... Tsk," Terlon bite is lip and then slightly smiled.
At that very moment, he disappear in front of me.
"Be careful!" I turned back and warned Laren and others.
"AHHH!!!"
"HEHEHE, DON'T YOU DARE MOVE. IF YOU DO, I'LL KILL HER!"
Terlon appeared right behind Lucia and took her hostage. He pointed his large, sharp nails were on the neck of Lucia... If he slightly moved them, it would be enough to kill Lucia.
"You coward! Release Princess now else I'll ill kill you!" Red hairs yelled as he took out... his sword? Wait, didn't Terlon destroyed it earlier. How many swords does he carry at the same time? And, and where does it come from in the place.
𝙏𝙃𝙒𝙒𝙄𝙄𝙉𝙉𝙉
Terlon shoot an energy attack at Red hairs and destroyed his sword, again.
"I SAID, DON'T MOVE! I'LL REMOVE HER HEAD FROM HER BODY IF YOU DO."
"Tch..." Listening the threat, Red hairs drew back.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER ALLAN? AREN'T YOU GOING TO KILL ME? HAHAHAHA, NOW TAKE A SWORD AND PRESENT ME YOUR HEAD!"
"Noo Allan! You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine. So kill this bastard without any hesitation!"
𝘞𝘰𝘸 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘴...
Even though her life was in grave danger, Lucia still dared to allow me to kill Terlon.
"Stop thinking about it and just do it! Even if you died, there is still no guarantee that this demon will leave us unharmed!" Guess, she has point but, it wouldn't come to that.
"HEH, YOU ARE QUITE BOLD YOUNG LADY... SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BITCH ELSE I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE."
"Ahh!" Terlon grabbed Lucia by her hairs and pulled her closer.
"NOW ALLAN, I PROMISE IF YOU GAVE ME YOUR HEAD I'LL THEM THESE PUNNY HUMANS LIVE! ELSE I'LL KILL HER!!!"
"Heh, and why would I do that?"
"HUH?? DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT THIS BITCH?! I'LL KILL HER I'M TELLING YOU! IF YOU-?!"
"Just kill her already if you really want to, I didn't even care about."
"!"
"A-Allan,"
"Mr. Allan, what are you saying?!"
"A-Allan please don't say that, please save her."
"What? Doesn't she already said that it's fine for him to kill her?"
"Pl-Please don't say that, you're our only hope-"
"Look, Mr. King, she herself has given up on her life, she doesn't even want to live anymore. So why should I save her?"
I said with the straight face, then looked at Lucia.
Although she put up her courage, it was visible that she was trembling in fear.
When her eyes met mine's they only said one thing, 𝙎𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚.
Heh, she doesn't want to die but is still trying her best to keep her composer and accepting this as her fate.
She knew very well that if I gave up, Red hairs, Laren, or anyone else, nobody stood a chance against this demon. That's why, she is will to get harmed in order to protect others... Magnificent isn't it.
