World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 58 Not Them Too! Run!

?Uta and the rest stopped in front of Zeno as they watched where Memmon was burst in flames from the light.

"Damn, she has gotten strong." Haruto muttered as he stared at the flames, feeling surprised.

Yuno laughed, "Way to go Levi! You finished a special class demon with one attack!" She shouted.

Levi was still levitating about the above flames, staring down at it with her hands tucked.

Zeno moved forward, even he was surprised at how powerful the blast was, "I should go finish this." He muttered.

Uta followed behind him, "What do you mean, finish? Do you think he could have survived the blast?" She asked.

"Can't say, but, at the very least I want to see it dead with my own eyes." Zeno responded, "Levi! Clear the flames." He yelled.

"Understood!" Levi replied, she looked at the flames before her eyes lit up, "Clear!".

After uttering the word, the flames suddenly cleared, but as soon as they all saw what the flames were covering, they froze up from the shock.

Mammon had taken a human form and was already halfway toward Levi, he moved so fast that no one knew he was there except Zeno and Uta.

"No!"

Zeno yelled, Mammon whooshed in front of Levi and immediately sent his hand right through Levi's chest and brought out her heart from the other side.

A grin made its way to Mammon's face before he squashed the heart with his hand, Levi's eyes went dead almost instantly with her body falling to the ground.

"Levi!" Zeno called out, he ran straight toward where she was going to land.

He caught Levi before she could land on the ground, "Heh, you're going to be fine… I just have to heal you." Zeno consoled before placing his hand on the hole in Levi's chest.

The rest of the Ankia were still shocked by the sight, they all immediately gathered around Zeno as they watched him try to heal Levi desperately.

Mammon landed on the ground with a boom, "Humans will always be pathetic, to think you almost killed me." He said before laughing.

Haruto turned his attention to the demon in a bit of rage, "I'll buy us some time, you know till the Successor heal I her back,".

"I'm coming with you," Yuno voiced, a small black portal showed up beside her before she pulled out a long sword from it.

Yuno and Haruto moved forward to confront the demon while Uta and Shuna stayed behind to watch over Zeno.

"Restoration…Restoration…Restoration." Zeno kept repeating these words as he tried to hell Levi.

"Damn it, why isn't this working?! Restoration! Restoration! Resto-".

Levi slowly raised her hand and placed them on Zeno's checks before giving out a weak smile.

Zeno smiled with a bit of relief, "It's working." He said.

"Succ..essor…"

"You rea.. really only make stupid choices, stop wasting your magic. There's a demon right in front of you that needs to be defeated." Levi chose her words.

"But I…"

"We all knew this was going to happen one day, you… knew it was going to ha-".

Levi's hand suddenly dropped from Zeno's cheeks before she finally died in Zeno's arms.

Zeno just started laughing as tears dropped from his eyes, "The Curse… the curse is never going to leave me is it?" He sobbed.

Uta looked away feeling angered, she was ready to turn and face the demon until they suddenly heard a scream.

"No! Haruto!"

Yuno cried out as she watched the demon crack Haruto's head with only one hand before leaving his headless body to fall.

Zeno looked up and the first thing he saw was Haruto's headless body laying on the ground with blood rushing out of his neck.

"Damn it we can't keep losing comrades!" Uta yelled before launching her body forward.

She whooshed Mammon and landed a fast punch but yet the demon still blocked it with his arm.

Mammon had a grin on his face as he held Uta's wrist and slammed her to the ground hard.

Before he could drive his hand into her chest, Yuno sliced off his hand with her sword and stood in front of Uta.

"Oh?" Mammon put forth while he looked at his severed arm, "You guys still have some fight in you." He said.

"I'm gonna make sure you pay for killing my friends!" Yuno yelled.

With her sword covered in energy, she charged toward her demon and swung with all her might, but the demon's speed was overwhelming.

He was standing in front of Yuno at one point and all of a sudden he appeared behind her with his hand ready to stab her.

Before the demon could get a chance to strike Yuno, Uta leaped on him and held his neck with a chokehold.

This gave Yuno the chance to make a sharp turn and cut both Uta's arms and the Demon's head together.

Uta's arms immediately grew back before she leaped away from the Demon's body with his head in her hand.

Yuno, gasping for air, looked at the Demon's body on the ground, "Did we get it?" She asked.

"Yeah, we did." Uta replied before throwing the demon's head on the ground.

"Awesome… awesome." Yuno paused and out of nowhere tears started pouring from her eyes.

"Smash its head!"

A voiced screamed out.

"Uhn?"

Uta and Yuno both turned to see Shuna shouting while Zeno raced towards them with panic written all over his face.

The demon blood slashed from the floor like a speeding razor toward Uta and Yuno and they hadn't noticed yet.

Zeno ran as fast as he could to the point where every step he took was cashing shock waves to spawn.

"Run run run, you can't let them die, not again….not for your sake.

Uta, Yuno, behind you! Look behind you! Damn it damn it, am I going to make it? They can't die too!

Faster, move faster, ahhhhhhh!" Zeno yelled.

With an alarmingpeed, Zeno supposedly broke the sound barrier without realizing it.

He ran as fast as he could toward the girl, while still trying to get there in time before they get killed by the same demon that laid waste to Haruto and Levi.
