After a long night of reading I had realized that the sun was shining into my room once more. I could only hope that something interesting will happen today.
I hardly even slept last night but I'm not tired honestly. Maybe I'm just anxious for what will happen today.
Knock. Knock.
This early? Guess it's kind of expected since things are changing around here.
"Come in." I say while standing up from the desk.
"Ah, you're up early. I've got a job for you." Vivian says as she enters the room.
"What's the job?" I question with a serious tone.
"You'll be dealing with a demon in the town of Kinto." Vivian responds while handing me a piece of paper.
"Alright." I say while holding the paper.
I looked over at Irie and then back at Vivian, guess this is to see where I stand after everything. Time to go prove myself once more it seems.
As I glanced at the paper I could slowly see everything changing around me as I disappeared from the sanctuary. Just like the last few times, but I didn't need these papers to do this.
I did learn how to teleport I believe or maybe I'm rusty after all.
But I shifted my focus to the town around me and realized that this place wasn't in the best of shape. When were they ever in good shape though?
"Please someone help me!" A woman screams with fear in her voice.
It came from that direction, I need to hurry before it's too late. So without any hesitation I began to make my way towards the woman's voice but it seemed to get further away with each step I took.
What's going on here?
"I'd stay on guard." Zara suggests with caution.
Suddenly I felt something coming from behind me and turned around to see a creature ten times my size. Holy shit...
"Have you come to save me!?!?" The Woman's voice begins to change with each word she speaks.
Definitely a demon of some sort!
"Zara I could definitely use some power here." I say with a serious tone.
"I'll provide you with the most that I can do." Zara replies as a surge goes throughout my body.
After a moment or two go by I can see armor had formed around my hands but that seemed to be the most that happened. I guess this will have to be enough for this.
So I dug my foot in the ground and pushed off to dash towards the creature. Throwing a series of punches at the thing with as much speed as I could.
Landing one punch after another with nothing stopping this thing from moving.
"This is how you save me?!?!?" The Creature begins to scream with an annoyed tone in its voice.
Pow!!!!!!!!
I felt myself beginning to fly through the air as the pain went through my gut, this thing hits like a damn truck. Bearing the appearance of the woman it must've consumed.
It's face was that of the woman with long black hair flowing behind it, but it's body was huge with multiple arms and legs coming out from it. This was different from the demons I had faced before.
Crash!!!!!!
"Gah! Cough. Cough." I felt the wind get knocked out of me as I began to cough up some blood.
"Still alive? Human is strong." The creature says while moving slowly in the distance.
That strength is incredible but I've not felt anything like that since my fight with the demon lord or the demon I first encountered. Everything hurts and I definitely destroyed this building a bit.
"Fyuhhh. I'm not done yet." I say while in pain.
I won't let this thing best me though, I've got to complete this job no matter what. I was chosen as a prophet for a reason, so I'll save this world from all demons or whatever this monstrosities are.
Swoosh!!!!!
Immediately flying towards this thing with lightning speed I began to line up my next punch which was aimed directly at its face. This was my shot to do some real damage since this thing was eating my other attacks.
Pow!!! I felt my hand connect with its face almost instantly and noticed it fall back a few meters as it recovered.
I wasn't going to lose to some low grade demon like this of all things.
"Kekeke. You are smarter than I thought." The creature says while blood drips down its face.
That thing laughed at my attack and called me smart. What am I supposed to make of this damn creature.
It keeps confusing me with it's level of intelligence since I've never encountered such a thing before.
"Just shut up already." I say with an annoyed tone.
As I began to charge in once more I noticed immediately that this thing was already attacking. Sending each of its arms towards my directions, I had no choice but to dodge to the best of my abilities.
Slash!!! Slash!!!
"Gasp...What just happened.." I felt like I could hardly breathe as I noticed blood dripping onto the ground.
Drip. Drip.
How the hell did I get cut this badly..?
I looked down to notice that it had cut up my body multiple times within that moment it attacked, but how didn't I avoid any of them?!?
"I lied." The creature says with a blunt tone as it begins to attack once more.
"Gahhhh!!!!!!" I begin to scream in pain as more and more attacks connect.
Splat!!!! Splat!!!
Thud.
I felt myself drop to the ground almost instantly after taking those last few hits, laying in my own blood for the first time in forever. Everything hurt like hell and I didn't know what to do in this situation.
"Kamako get up!" Zara shouts with worry in her voice.
I didn't have it in me to move another muscle, but I can't lose..
"Fuhhhh!" I scream while slowly pushing myself up.
I can't give up.
