Chapter 20 Demon Attack
Chapter 20 Demon Attack
Luis knew that he was in danger immediately the eyes of Raph turned to complete red, he tried to get up and run but he was being held in his seat by an invisible force, he wiggled his body trying to escape, but it was of no use.
"Why are you doing this?"
Raph let out a burst of loud evil laughter.
"Because you are a threat."
He covered his hand with a black glowing substance and was about to give Luis the death punch when a sword appeared from nowhere and stopped his fist from making contact with his face.
Raph looked up to see a face he wasn't happy to see.
"I never thought I would see you in a place like this," Greg said, then he pushed Raph's hand away with his sword.
Raph took a few steps backward, his hands started to emit a dark color, and then two short blades appeared in his hand, they didn't look like anything solid, they were just like energy.
Raph was at the stage of a master demon, at this stage demons upgraded their soul weapons from just ordinary looking weapons to energy weapons which gave off a bright, dark color.
"You don't know how I've been waiting for this day," Raph said and his face started to change to that of an older middle-aged man and then there was a tattoo of a dagger on his forehead.
"Get out of here Luis," Greg said as he stepped in front of Luis.
"But I can't….." Luis tried to complain but then he realized that his body was moving freely again.
That was the reason why Greg had stepped in front of him, to cancel Raph's compelling effect on him. Luis used the opportunity to run out of the room, he was worried but he knew Greg could take care of himself.
"Ha ha ha, you think the boy can escape?" Raph said.
"As long as your head is no longer part of your body," Greg said as he charged in with his sword.
Luis had run out into the practically empty hallway, he couldn't hear anything, no footsteps, everybody was gone. He continued to head towards the exit, he was contemplating whether to go look for help or just leave Greg to handle it.
[ Demons detected ]
Luis looked at the message and gulped.
"Did Raph defeat him that easily?'
But that wasn't the case as a demon started advancing towards him from the exit door, but this demon was nothing like Raph, it was the same type of demon that Greg and Tammy fought on the road.
'It said demons detected, that means it should be more than one.' Shivers ran down his spine at the thought of more of these things coming after him.
The demon was closing upon him and he didn't have any plan of what to do, as the demon got closer he started to take steps backward. It was as if the demon was being cautious of him.
"What do you want from me?!" Luis yelled unaware that these types of demons are unable to communicate in human language.
The demon stopped moving after it heard Luis shout, Luis was confused by the demon's sudden halt and stopped moving back to see if he could get an answer and that was the demon let out a mighty scream, Luis thought his ear was going to burst and went down on his knees holding his ears, the pain was unbearable.
The demon used this opportunity towards Luis giving him a heavy kick which sent him flying backward and falling on his belly.
[ 3/7 HP ]
Luis coughed out blood as he tried to get up but it was of no use because the demon was already upon him.
'If this thing kicks me like that again, my HP will go to zero and who knows what that means for me.'
Luis covered his face with his hands to form an X he was going to take the hit and try to reduce the pain and damage in any way possible, but the demon wasn't going for a punch, it was going for a grab, Luis covered his face and closed his eyes, as the demon stretched its hand towards his face, he could almost feel the heat radiating from demon's hand, but then it stopped and he didn't feel anything touch.
Luis removed his hands to see that the demon was still standing there but something was different, a dagger was now stuck in its forehead.
"Tammy." Luis heaved a sigh of relief.
Tammy stood a little distance behind Luis with her other dagger in her left hand.
"You better stand up from there because more of those things are coming."
"More?"
Luis couldn't believe it but his system had told him so.
"Yeah about eight of them."
"How do you know they are eight?" Luis asked getting up on one knee.
"Because I can hear their footsteps and growl from different directions." She said tapping her ear." And try as much as possible to defend yourself, because I won't be doing that."
Luis wanted to complain about a weapon but Tammy had already summoned her sword and thrown it at him before he could say anything, then she went to pick up her dagger from where the demon had just been killed.
The demons started approaching them from the exit and the other sides of the hallway and they were both surrounded with their backs against each other.
"Remember your training," Tammy said and quickly rushed off to deal with the demons that were coming from the hallway.
'What training? She never even trained me for once!'
Luis was fuming with anger when a demon got close, he carelessly swung his sword, and that one swing was enough to separate the demon's head from its body.
[ Demon Killed ]
[ 100 EXP Gained ]
[ 150/200 EXP ]
'Just 50 EXP to level up.' Luis thought.'And these demons are even too easy to kill.'
So he thought but that wasn't the case now, the next demon jumped towards him and he swung his sword expecting to finish it with one hit, but his sword hit nothing but air.
'What?'
The beast was now close to him and was about to deliver a blow that he needed to avoid, he pulled in his sword to block it but that wasn't enough as the claws of the demon which had escaped his sword scratched his shoulder.
[ -1 HP ]
[ 2/7 HP ]
Luis quickly pulled back holding his shoulder which was now bleeding.
'This much pain from just a single scratch.'
Luis couldn't bear the pain anymore and eventually dropped his sword.
Tammy heard the clanging of the sword on the ground and quickly stabbed the last demon she was facing in the head to go help Luis, it didn't take her long to finish the three demons.
"Is it bleeding much?" She asked Luis who was holding his shoulder.
"No, it's just a little scratch?"
"Well, we need to go help my dad," Tammy said and quickly ran off back into the school.
*************
In a very dark room, Greg is kneeling beside the wall holding his stomach while panting, suddenly a pair of red eyes can be seen coming towards him.
"Now I will show you the powers of a master demon."
