World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 55 A Test For The Battle

?Zeno and the Hunter made their way to the organization building not far from where they met each other.

Shuna was in the same building, except she had a different task at hand. To get as much information as she could, they made her cast a spell on the cult members, so she could see their past activities.

Zeno sat down on the chair and observed Shuna from afar as she was reading the cult's past.

"Are you sure she knows what she's doing?" Rio asked, "I don't believe in being able to cast magic, more or less seeing through someone's memories." He asserted.

Zeno was quiet for a while before he looked at Rio, "I'm surprised you still have such a mindset, Hunter." He uttered.

"Well, that's just the truth, sure there are Demons, but that's it…. Humans shouldn't be able to cast magic unless they are contracted with a demon." Rio responded.

"I see, so you think we are contracted with Demons?" Zeno asked.

"No, I think you guys are con artists, putting on a fake front about how you are chosen by the goddess, I find that to be a very stupid comedy." Rio asserted while he also observed Shuna.

Zeno still kept a straight face, "I'll advise you to change your mindset hunter, there are so many things in this world that you won't understand." He advised.

Rio scoffed at his words,

"Perhaps when you defeat the demon threatening this city, maybe then I can acknowledge you." He said.

Zeno left the Hunter's side and walked over to Shuna, "Your acknowledgment is not needed." He said before walking away.

He got to where Shuna was working, she had her eyes closed, and her staff aimed at the men as it lit up a blue bright color.

The men sitting on the ground were already drooling as they mumbled silly words to themselves.

Shuna suddenly opened her eyes and the light on her stuff dimmed out.

"Willy garden."

She looked at Sato with a smile, "The demon we're looking for is at Willy garden." She shouted with excitement.

"You tracked it down?" Zeno asked, feeling a bit surprised she did it so fast.

"Well it wasn't exactly easy, turns out these people are part of a bigger cult, and their aim is to summon another Successor." She exposed.

"Another Successor?" Zeno muttered.

"Well that's the gist of it, these morons tried summoning another Successor and just ended up summoning more demons." She sighed with her hand on her jaw.

"I see…" Zeno muttered, "Okay then, since you know where the demon is, we should go," He uttered.

"It's going to be a long journey though, we should find an Omni carrier." Shuna said, looking around to see if she could find any means of transport.

"We don't need that, you can just teleport us there, that's faster,".

"Ohhh?"

Shuna said with a teasing expression, "Successor, Weren't you the one that said, 'Let's travel by boat, I don't want you using teleportation' " She teased.

"Just take me there."

"As you wish… ~Successor"

Shuna moved closer to him and hugged him before tapping her fingers and their body slowly started dematerializing.

"Wait!" Rio yelled, "Where do you think you're going?!" He asked.

Shuna peeped to look at him before smiling, "You might want to lock those fellas in jail, bye….".

Both Shuna and Zeno disappeared and immediately appeared on top of a building where a huge sign was positioned on the road.

[Willy Garden]]

"The atmosphere here is thick, the demon is nearby." Zeno uttered.

With one step, he leaped down from the building and landed upright on the ground with his hair dancing in the wind.

Shuna materialized beside him, "Shall we go then," She uttered.

They both began to make their way to the center of the area where the demon's scent strongest.

They finally got to a point where it seemed like demons were surrounding them but at the same time, they were at a dead end.

Zeno looked at the huge wall in front of him and began feeling the texture of the wall with his hand.

"The demon is on the other side." Zeno voiced out.

"Well, I'm ready when you are." Shuna added.

His eyes lit up a bit before he looked at Shuna, "Back on the ship, I saw a weird ball beside me when I woke up…".

"Oh, that? Ahhh, it's a new artifact I'm working on, the eye of seer, I created it specifically for trapping demons." Shuna interrupted with a smile.

With her hand placed forward, the eye of seer suddenly appeared on her hands, the white thick mist pouring out of the orb profoundly.

Although Zeno wasn't sure, it still left a smile on his face, "I'm glad, at least now I know I might not need to kill the demon." He uttered.

After uttering those words, he switched his attention to the huge wall in front of him, with a deep breath Zeno placed his hand on the wall.

The wall began to vibrate at an alarming speed before it slowly started cracking, the crack spread until the wall itself shattered into pieces.

As soon as the wall shattered, Zeno saw the other side was filled with so much deadly aura that it began to produce red mist everywhere.

Most buildings had been broken down and destroyed, there was no life, just death, and darkness.

"Wow, the demon really made himself at home." Shuna said, looking around to see all the red mist.

"This is a strong demon if it's able to create its own domain it has to be a high-ranking one." Zeno mentioned.

"This can't get any worse." Shuna uttered, looking around she could see a lot of demons closing in on them.

"Looks like he wants to test us first before he shows himself." Zeno sighed, he began pulling his shirt off.

His naked skin had blue glowing veins all around it, which networked from his chest and spread around his body.

"Let's get this over with."

Boom!

He leaped to the sky and came falling with a tremendous amount of blue energy following him down
