As he was thinking about it, he heard a window being broken outside his room. Aaron Bell was then alarmed by the noise so he stopped what he was doing and carefully walked out of his room and went to where the source of the noise is coming from.
He approached the kitchen slowly not to cause any noise and when he was near the kitchen he peeked his head to see if there are people and immediately saw two figures outside the window.
He quickly hid and thankfully they didn't seem to have noticed him. The two figures didn't seem like a student and they were wearing some kind of hood to cover some parts of their body.
One went inside through the window and opened the door, then the two figures remove their cloak revealing that parts of their body were from a demon bone.
"Hey, do you think that kid is already dead?" Asked the man with two huge tusks making him look like an orc. The other person was a bit skinny but had a mantis-like left arm and was grinning and chuckling.
"Of course I'm sure, I heard someone scream on the upper floor and guess that the bone might have done its job so I called you over." The skinny man gestured his hand pointing upstairs where he heard the scream.
Aaron Bell could hear everything that they were saying and realized that they were in cahoots with whoever he bought that parasitic bone.
Aaron Bell also realize that these people had one of the cases of 'Incompatible Integration', which happens when a person tries to integrate a demon bone into their body that isn't compatible with them in the first place. When they survive the integration process, they will not be able to control the form of the bone so it stays in its demon form and it consumes a lot of blood because the demon bone is superior to the human.
For them to maintain control over the demon bone, they need blood and it doesn't matter whether it is from demons, humans, or any other kind of animal. Surprisingly, these people chose to kill their own kind because they are afraid of fighting demons.
Aaron Bell has heard of those shady organizations on the news and they called themselves the Demonic Hearts. An organization whose intention is to become the ruler of humanities through any means even if it means murder.
Aaron Bell knew that he is in big trouble because these two might be a part of that group so he planned to call the police but realize that the phone of the previous owner was upstairs in his room so he want to back and get it but couldn't.
"Are you sure that this person is alone?" The tusked man said in a low voice while looking around.
"You don't have to talk like that, I made sure to check before calling you. This person is alone as no one has checked up on him for a few minutes after that scream." The skinny man replied.
"I'll check upstairs and you make sure that no one enters through the front door or if he might have called the police." The skinny man walked upstairs while the tusked man stayed the front door.
Aaron Bell hid behind the sofa in the living room and stayed quite for a while but he knew that to be on the safe side he must escape from the house and call for help from the neighbors.
Aaron Bell crawled to the kitchen from the living room when the tusked man was not looking and decided to exit through where the intruder entered when the skinny man shouted from upstairs. "Wait, there isn't anybody in here and the demon bone is nowhere to be found."
Aaron Bell knew that he was running out of time so quickly made his way to the door and opened it.
"Found him." A chilling voice appeared behind him making Aaron Bell shudder as he tried to run out the door but was quickly pulled by the tusked person.
"How are you still alive?" The man person gripped his hand on Aaron Bell's neck squeezing the life out of him. Aaron Bell tried to remove the grip from his neck to no avail, the tusked person seems to be a strong person holding him to one place.
"Get down here and greet our little friend!" The tusked man shouted while holding Aaron Bell on the neck with both hands.
Aaron Bell was running out of air so he reached for the tusked man's neck, the tusked man realized what he was doing and just chuckled. "You're gonna be dead soon so why struggle.."
Before the tusked person could finish his word, he felt a dagger stabbed him on the throat causing him to let go of Aaron Bell. Confused to where the dagger came from, the tusked man gazed at Aaron Bell who was catching his breath on the floor.
[Parasitic Hidden Dagger Activated]
A voice rang into Aaron Bell's head, in sound like a robotic voice used in a app, but one thing is for sure is that the Demon Bone that killed the previous owner's life just saved his life right now.
Aaron Bell stood up and ran outside the kitchen when suddenly he was hit by a sharp tingling feeling in the back causing to fly a few meters in the backyard.
"How dare you!!" The skinny man shouted.
Aaron put his hand on his back and saw blood on his hand. He looked at the angry skinny man and the mantis-like arm was glowing dimly until it disappeared.
Demonic Mantis Arm
- Possess a sharp edge that can cut through trees.
- Wind Slice: Gather the surrounding air around it and releases it through a slashing movement.
The systematic screen appeared once again in front of Aaron Bell's eye, He had no time to read but something caught his eye and it was the word written as 'Wind Slice'. Looking back to how can the skinny man attack him with the distance of where he was standing and where Aaron Bell was, the only thing that would make sense was the Demonic Mantis Arm skill.
The skinny man ran towards the tusked man and held him up.
"Are you ok?" The skinny man asked but the tusked man didn't answer because his blood was already drained by the Parasitic Hidden Dagger and died immediately. The skinny man recognized the Bone that was stabbed in the neck and he tried removing it but couldn't because the Bone was stuck on the tusked man's neck like glue, after trying pulling it with all his effort and realizing that it couldn't be removed , he gave up and quickly stared at Aaron Bell with bloodshot eyes.
"YOU!! I heard you shout of pain just a while ago, I don't know what you did but I don't care anymore because you will be dead soon." The skinny man stood up and approached Aaron Bell.
Aaron Bell wanted to stand up and run but the wound on his back was too deep and he lost a lot of blood. He lay himself on the wall thinking of a way to get out of this mess. His head was getting fuzzy as his breath becomes more ragged. Hoping for anything to save him, he once again a Beep and look right in front of him.
[Parasitic Hidden Dagger Absorption Complete]
[Would you like to transfer Demonic Energy to the host?]
The skinny man arrived right in front of Aaron Bell and aimed his mantis-like arm near Aaron Bell's neck.
Aaron Bell have no idea what the Demonic Energy was but he had other choice but to bet his all in it or he might lose his life, he muster up all of his strength say one last word and the skinny man saw him trying to speak but didn't gave him any chance and quickly attacked, but before the skinny man could hit Aaron Bell, he felt a strong pressure pass through his body and unconsciously jumped away from Aaron Bell.
The skinny man began sweating profoundly as he stared at where Aaron Bell was, the pressure that he felt was almost the same as what a Demon possess. He then realized that the air was a bit tainted red and that they were coming from the Dagger that was stuck at the neck of the tusked man going to where Aaron Bell was. Soon, the skinny man noticed Aaron Bell silently stood up and was putting out more pressure than before making the skinny man's leg weak.
Then suddenly, Aaron Bell disappeared from the skinny man's sight and then reappear right in front of him in a punching motion. The skinny man couldn't dodge because fear has struck his body so he took the blow right in the face that sent him flying back into the house. The skinny man's face was disfigured from that punch and he puked out blood.
Aaron Bell once again appeared right in front of him and stumped his face to the ground. The skinny man passed out but Aaron Bell didn't stopped stumping over and over till there was nothing left of his head but a bloody pulp.
Aaron Bell proceeds to laugh crazily and stopped when he saw the front door open.
