Chapter 386 - Primordial Demons

Chapter 386 - Primordial Demons

During the time Nyarlom was fighting Tsukiko, in the cave where Leonard Tranor had sealed the Primordial Demons, Shin who was also known to Ren as the fourth hero was out of breath. For the past three days, he has fought the escaping Primordial Demons from the hole on the seal. It has been thousands of years since their last attempt to escape, but unlike that time the current Primordial Demons were growing more powerful by the second. Not only that, but the hole on the seal was growing.

Some of the Primordial Demons were actually able to get past Shin. He had tried his best and had killed a few dozens of Primordial Demons, but their numbers were just increasing instead of decreasing.

Even though the current Primordial Demons were not at full power, they were still a major threat to the current humans. Letting even a few of them out was already quite bad.

Shin did a quick check on his body. His left forearm had a deep cut, but he was still able to move his hand. His right hand lost its ring finger which made it difficult to hold his weapon properly. His legs were full of cuts, and he had multiple stab wounds near his chest. His draconic wings were nearly torn apart.

'I can still move for a bit, but my mana supply is nearing empty. I can probably last for only a day or two.'

While he was thinking of what to do next the Primordial Demons didn't allow him to rest for a single second as they intensified their attacks. Shin roared a dragon's roar which momentarily stunned the Primordial Demons. He then quickly gathered the last remaining bits of his mana for an all-out attack.

The cave where the Primordial Demons were sealed was destroyed.

…

At the same time in the Reschbeauch Kingdom, Silika and the others were facing a Primordial Demon who came in to spread chaos.

"You weak beings dare to fight me, how laughable." The Primordial Demon laughed as he swung his arm which was about to hit the nearby knights. As they were about to get hit Iselv came in to stand before them and received the attack.

Iselv gritted his teeth as he tried to push the arm away, but then the Primordial Demon had a burst in power blowing away Iselv instead.

"YOUR MAJESTY!" The Knights shouted as they started running towards Iselv.

"Come on feel me up with your fear, your malice! HAHAHA!" The Primordial Demon laughed while looking intoxicated. It was at that moment when his guard was down, Hilda got behind him, and Ashley was about to attack from above.

The two ladies coordinated their attack in perfect synchronization with each other. The Primordial Demon was caught by surprise with the attack the two made. He quickly tried to block the attacks but for the first time since the fight began the Primordial Demon was injured. It was a small cut but it was an injury nonetheless.

Seeing that they were able to injure the Primordial Demon, Hilda and Ashley felt their morale rising. As they were about to start another wave of attacks, the Primordial Demon smiled at them. The Primordial Demon lifted the arm that was injured and showed it to everyone present. The wound started to heal and after a second the Primordial Demon's arm looked good as new.

When the knights saw what happened, an overwhelming sense of despair came over them. This monster was already ridiculously strong, but now they know that they couldn't even hurt it. It was at that point a lot of them had the same thought, 'We can't win.'

Even Hilda, Ashley, and Kithra who were among the strongest of those present was feeling a bit of hopelessness was filling their hearts.

"What sweet despair, scrumptious misery, and delectable fear. Now, do you understand, you weaklings? You people are nothing more than toys in my eyes. Let's see how else can I torment you?"

The Primordial Demon looked at the frightened faces of the people around him with delight. Seeing the faces of the knights who blocked his path so courageously at the beginning, were now cowering in fear made him feel great pleasure. It was at that moment he noticed one of the people at a distance who wasn't looking at him in fear.

That person wasn't scared in fact she wasn't even looking at him, she was actually ignoring him. The Primordial Demon approached the lady that was deep in thought and attacked. He was simply going to scare her by attacking the side of her face, but as his hand passed by, the lady didn't even move an inch. She continued to look like she was contemplating something, completely ignoring the Primordial Demon. Seeing her reaction or the lack of, infuriated the Primordial Demon.

"You dare ignore me?! I was going to spare you all, after having a little bit of fun, but now I decided that I will annihilate this whole kingdom, starting with you!"

The Primordial Demon released his full aura of Malice and attacked the lady standing in front of him. His fist struck something but it wasn't the lady's head, instead, it was an invisible wall that blocked his fist. It was then the lady finally took notice of the Primordial Demon and looked at him directly.

When the Primordial Demon got a good look at the lady's face he felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but that was impossible since the last time he was out in the world was before the reset, which was an eon ago.

As the Primordial Demon was getting confused as to what was happening, the lady smiled at him. When he saw that smiling face the Primordial Demon felt a shiver down his spine, he then quickly backed away.

'What did I do, did I just back away from this lady? What is this emotion I'm feeling?… Is this fear?… Am I a Primordial Demon one who lives from the fear of others, actually feeling fear myself?' The Primordial Demon couldn't understand what was happening to him, as the lady approached him.

"I don't know what's happening to Ren, but to actually supply me with this much mana feels great."

"Huh, what are you talking about, who the f*ck is Ren?"

"Oh, I'm sorry did I say that out loud?"

"I don't care about that, tell me who the f*ck are you?!"

"I apologize for not introducing myself to a guest," Silika curtsied. "I'm called Silika."

When the Primordial Demon heard Silika's name he started racking his brain to try and remember if he knew anyone who had that name. Yet no matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember meeting anyone with such a name.

'If so, then why am I afraid?…' As the Primordial Demon was trying to figure out who Silka was, Silika summoned her scythe.

"I'm sorry dear guest, but you have overextended your welcome so allow me to see you out." When the Primordial Demon heard what Silika said he snapped out of his thoughts and quickly went into his best defensive posture. He surrounded himself in a ball of malice and tightened his defenses. Yet despite what he did the scythe was able to cut through and it almost cut him half.

A large cut was made on his chest, he tried to close the wound, but he couldn't. He was sure that he wasn't exhausted enough for him to be unable to regenerate, and there was a surplus of malice going around that he should easily be able to regenerate this kind of wound, but he couldn't. That could only mean one thing, the weapon Silika was holding was a divine weapon.

'A divine weapon that is a scythe?… It can't be!'

"That's the Death Scythe!"

"Oh, do you finally remember who I am?" Seeing the sweet smiling Silika holding the scythe, a memory flashed in the Primordial Demon's mind. Back then before he was sealed by Leonard Tranor wasn't there someone else there with him.

"It can't be, you, you… You're Elizabeth Rogue, the strongest Goddess of Death!"

"The former Goddess of Death, also I'm called Silika now, not Elizabeth Rogue."

"That can't be true, you and the others of that era faced against an envoy of the ORIGIN, not even Leonard Tranor could win against that. You should all be dead."

"Have you forgotten what Leo was called back then? He was the one called the God of Victory. There was no way he would lose."

The moment the Primordial Demon was sure that Silika was Elizabeth he tried to flee, but before he could do so the scythe had already sliced him in half. The Primordial Demon who was now in spirit form tried to flee, but even then he couldn't escape from Silika's grasp.

"Fine it is your win this time, Elizabeth Rogue, but without Leonard Tranor you cannot hope to win against all of my brethren. Also with how weak you currently are, you would die once my brothers regain their full strength. This time, in this erea it is our win." The Primordial Demon cackled despite knowing his end was near. Silika smiled at the Primordial Demon's bravado and whispered to him.

"Before you go let me tell you a little secret, the strongest mortal soul lives in this era." When the Primordial Demon heard that he was stunned into silence.

'So even after waiting for eons, we will still suffer the same fate, no this time it might truly be the end.' Those were the last thoughts of the Primordial Demon before Silika crushed his Spirit Form.

After killing the Primordial Demon, Silika who was smiling moments ago frowned… 'I might have said all that, but with how strong Ren currently is this Primordial Demon outbreak might be more difficult than expected.'
