After three minutes, the screams subsided and finally came to an end. Zero was horrified by the demon's shear power.
"You killed all those people without even lifting a finger." Said Zero in horror and slight admiration.
"Are you impressed? That's the power of intimidation. Now I feel so much more energetic." Said Gilmont as his demon symbol began glowing blood-red.
Zero's hands formed fists that he put in front of him as he took the battle stance of a boxer.
"You're quite ambitious, kid, but you are wasting my time. I have to find that bastard, Borollo." Said Gilmont, his voice becoming angrier.
His hand then developed blood-red veins that ran throughout his right hand. Zero looked at him closely as he looked like he was about to unleash a powerful attack.
Hand of Hell: Concuror's Punch
Just then, Gilmont's fist was right in front of Zero's face. He hadn't seen it coming, and he couldn't dodge it. Even if he tried, his legs refused to move. He received the punch to the face that, for some reason, felt like two punches that had been fused into one.
Zero went flying through the girl's hostel building, crashing into the hostel compound of the girl's hostel.
Kentai saw him crashing into the ground in front of him.
"Is that Zero?" He thought
Zero stood up with blood on his face, and his face completely mutilated.
"Zero, what are you doing here?" Asked Kentai, somewhat surprised that he didn't die.
Zero turned to look at him as his face began to regenerate in front of Mr. Kentai.
"Mr. Kentai. You're here. That's good. The demon has upgraded. It's now stronger." Said Zero as his face returned back to normal.
"You're a demon." Said Kentai, surprised.
Zero remained silent. As he turned away from Mr. Kentai, looking up at the sky, making Kentai do the same, and in the sky, they saw Gilmont with wings flying in the sky.
"That's not good." Said Kentai.
"Yeah, his unit has gotten quite strong. Much stronger than before."
"You were fighting him before?"
"Yeah, before you came. It's the reason I was flung into the main building and punched through the girl's hostel."
"Seems like you've been busy as well. Anyway, it seems like we both have a common enemy, and I can't fight him alone, so let's forget that you're a demon for a second, okay."
"Really?" Zero seemed surprised.
"If their is one person I trust with my life, that would be Borollo. He trusts you, so I will, too."
"Great then." Said Zero as he began to stretch. "Let's end this."
"Right."
The two stood next to each other as they took up battle stances.
"Hmm, looks like they're working together. This is going to be fun." Said Gilmont with a wide grin on his face.
In the northern block of the girls' hostel, Nero began to regain consciousness as his eyes began opening, and he saw Yuri carrying the bodies of the girls in the reading room.
"You're awake." She said.
"What happened? Are they dead?" He asked.
"Yes, they are. All twenty of them." She said indifferently. "So this is the intimidation I heard about."
"Intimidation?" Nero asked, confused. He then began recalling how they were before he lost consciousness. "These girls were really scared. What was that?"
"A demon's intimidation. That was just a taste of the demon's unit."
"He's unit. You're joking, right."
"I wish I was, but demons have the ability to expel their unit into their opponent, making them feel immense fear that can make them even kill themselves."
Zero was so horrified that he threw up out of the window. "What kind of twist power is that?"
"It seems like he was weak when he did it, but if that wasn't the case, I'm sure we would have died as well." Said Yuri.
Zero looked at the dead bodies and out of the window.
"I hope you're okay, Zero."
Meanwhile, in the southern block of the boys' hostel, Lewis was running to the safe zone at full speed while breathing heavily. He made a sharp right turn that made him crash into a wall, but he couldn't stop. He continued to run until he reached the safe zone.
"Let me in." He yelled.
"It's Mr. Lewis. Let him in." Ordered Gloria.
The third years opened up the door and let Lewis in, who dashed in and fell onto the ground.
"Mr. Lewis. Are you okay?" Asked Alexander. "Where are the other students?"
"I'm so sorry. I've failed in only tasks. They're all dead. I didn't realise it in time, and before I could do anything, they were on the ground bloody and dead."
Alexander's eyes widened. He knew that he had felt a powerful force coming from the academy, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"What happened to them, Mr. Lewis?" Alexander asked.
Gloria turned to him and looked at him sternly.
"Let me teach you first years something important. Being an angel gives you power, but it doesn't save you from the horrors that these demons create. Those students died from fear."
"Fear! They're angels." Said on of the first years.
"That's what I thought the first time I also saw it. A taste of a demon's unit. Believe it or not, but those angels died from fear caused by the demon's intimidation. The effect of interacting with the demon unit."
All the students' faces froze in horror.
"Just its unit can lead to that."
"Unfortunately, yes."
Kentai and Zero were, on the other hand, in a serious battle with Gilmont.
Zero launched up into the air, and Kentai gave him a boost using his legs to push Zero into the air at a faster speed. He then shot some blood spikes at Gilmont that he dodged, only to end up on Zero's fist that sent him flying to the ground.
Kentai then formed blood spikes on the ground that pierced through Gilmont's body before Zero landed on him from the sky with both feet crashing him into the ground, forming a crater.
He then jumped off of him and back by Kentai's side.
"Good work, Zero." Said Kentai.
"Thanks, Mr. Kentai."
Gilmont then stood up a little bit angered.
"Don't get too ahead of yourselves. I'm not dead yet." He said.
Kentai and Zero braced themselves for an attack. Gilmont looked at them for a moment.
"I'm getting tired of these games. I asked for Borollo sometime ago, and I haven't seen him yet. Now I'm pissed." Said Gilmont as steam radiated from his body.
Unleash: Full body banquet.
Zero felt a strange force coming from Gilmont's body similar to the one Rune radiated before he blew himself up.
"Shit. Mr. Kentai. Get out of the way." Zero yelled, but the moment he turned to look at Mr. Kentai, he was gone, and only drops of blood stood where he was.
Zero saw Gilmont fly with Kentai's body at supersonic speeds through buildings and walls.
Gilmont grabbed Kentai's body and bashed it through the boy's hostel holding his head and dragging it through the walls that the glass windows that had broken cutting his face in the process before punching him through the walls and out of the hostel.
Kentai tried standing up, but Gilmont reached his position in an instant and kicked him through the main building until he reached a thick wall close to the safe zone, where he kicked his head multiple times until Kentai stopped moving.
The other students were watching in horror, but he looked at them and completely ignored them.
Zero was still in shock when Gilmont appeared before him and stared at him.
"You think I forgot you. You mistake of demon." He said before grabbing his neck and flying into the sky about a kilometre into the air. "Do you know what is most disappointing about you? It's not that you are a part of the angels. Couldn't care less but that you have all this potential, but you're so weak."
He then tore off Zero's hands, hit him with them, sending Zero crashing and falling to the ground, but before he could hit the ground, he heard a familiar phrase.
Combustion
A ball of fire blew up on Zero's body, making him crash through the ground and back to the room where all this began.
Gimont looked at Zero for some time before burning his hands into ashes.
"Tsk. You're still alive." He said before turning behind him to see Kentai with a crazy look on his face. "You have wings?"
"Of course I do. I'm an angel. I'd like to thank you for making me lose all that blood. Didn't think that I'd survive there. This power really fucks you up when you're getting beaten to a pulp. It's time to end this."
He took in a deep breath as blood began flowing out of his body and onto the ground, covering the whole garden in blood.
Eternal unit: Sea of blood, Communion
The blood began spiralling, pulling Gilmont into it. The blood entered his mouth and filled up in his body before combusting into a crimson red flame.
"This is punishment for all that you've killed."
Salvation
The blood, still on fire, turned into numerous hands that held Gilmont up while spikes of firey blood pierced through his body, making him scream out in pain. The spikes were too many that Gilmont couldn't regenerate fast enough.
The hands then flowed into Kentai's sword, making it longer, red, and covered in crimson red flames.
Eternal unit: Bloody trinity, sword of Martyr
Kentai then swang the large sword at Gilmont, piercing into his chest.
"Goodbye, Gilmont." A large burst of blood blew through Gilmont's chest, forming a large hole in his whole torso.
Gilmont fell down, his eyes were lifeless, but before he hit the ground, he smiled.
Demon unit: Spicy Banquet Aftermath.
Suddenly, a large, large meteor began flying towards the school. It was larger than the academy and had the power to kill even those in the safe zone. In fact, it was powerful enough to level the whole area of the Academy.
"That petty basterd. Can't he die without giving us extra problems. Fuck this." Yelled Kentai in frustration.
He then saw Zero take his sword and try to cut down the large meteor, but his efforts proved to be in vain.
"Zero, you can't."
"We can't just look on as it destroys the entire academy. This thing could even kill those in the safe zone."
"You're right, but we can't stop that thing." Yelled Kentai, but Zero continued pushing on.
"The boy has heart, right, Kentai." Said a familiar voice.
Kentai turned around to see a large man smoking a cigar next to him.
"Borollo. You made it."
