World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 64 A Snake In Our Midst

?All the demons moving in on Geko and Anna suddenly started having their body squashed by the tentacles.

Some of them were able to dodge while some weren't so lucky, the rate at which the tentacles were coming down was unpredictable for them.

One of the tentacles brought Alisha gently to the ground, "Hello…" She greeted, holding her teddy bear close.

"Well hello there humans." Poseidon, the teddy bear uttered.

Anna pushed her face forward as she stared at Poseidon puzzledly, "Did that stuffed anime just talk?" She asked.

"Hey!" Posideon shouted, "Who the hell are you calling a stuffed animal!".

"Wow… it does talk." Anna was intrigued by it.

"Uhm… his name is Poseidon, m-my contracted demon." Alisha cleared up as she stared at the feeling shy.

"Damn, that's a demon?" Anna asked.

Geko pulled Anna back with her cloth, "look we don't have time for this, the longer we wait around here the easier it is for the enemy to surround us." She said.

"Too late." Pesiodon uttered, the sound of Demons roaring followed right after he made that statement.

Looking to their right, a huge number of demons were charging toward them, scattering anything that got in their way, specifically the dead bodies of the Glinxs.

"Uhnnn…. There are too many of them." Alisha uttered silently.

"Well, that's pretty obvious." Geko asserted before walking forward, "Teddy dude, get both your master and my sis out of here, I'll hold them off." She ordered.

"You wanna take them all alone? Hehe hehe, that might to be a little too much you..." Posideon laughed, "Alright fine I'll do it,".

"Ahh, no you're not, I didn't say I was gonna,".

"Sure princess, I don't care." Poseidon interrupted Anna, using his tentacles he tied Anna and lifted her from the ground.

"Hey, put me down! Put me down!" Anna shouted, desperately trying to free herself from the tentacles.

"Geez, you're loud, come on idiot, let's go." Posideon said to Alisha.

Alisha bowed her head, "P-Please be careful." She said before running with Anna dangling in the air.

Geko stretched out both her guns to the side, "I hope you're ready. There's no wimping out from here on!" Geko yelled and dashed to the front.

......…..

Uta stuck the landing on one of her knees, "Where are you?" She muttered to herself.

She began looking around to see if she could spot Zeno, then she noticed someone running toward her.

She squeezed her eyes so she could get a good look at the person's face and the closer the person was the clearer it was for her to make out who it was.

"Zeno?" She muttered.

Zeno charged past her and held her hand as he ran, "Come on!!!" He yelled.

"Why are you running?" Uta asked, she followed as he was dragging her around.

"Damn!"

Zeno pushed Uta to the right while he moved to the left, and right in the middle, a fast-moving blade sped past them.

Zeno landed on the ground and immediately ran back while Uta was just touching the ground.

She looked at where Zeno was heading and saw Beelzebub was just in front of him.

She immediately took to her heels so she could go and assist him, but she didn't get far when a Haliva came out of nowhere and punched her.

Uta blocked it with her arm, but the force still pushed her back. Stopping the push, Uta pulled her hand down and saw Haliva standing in front of her.

"Who the hell are you?" Uta asked aggressively.

Haliva scoffed, "Of course, you don't remember me, Haliva Hanz, I was the second in command under you." She revealed.

Uta glared at her for a while, before responding, "I don't know what you're talking about, now get out of my way,".

Uta stomped past Haliva, but when she got a point she noticed she couldn't further her advance.

The place had been blocked by an invincible barrier, but she could still see what was happening on the outside, like how Zeno was heading toward Beelzebub.

"What the hell?!" Uta shouted, she began punching the barrier, over and over again but it was like her attacks were doing damage to it.

"Oh, I should mention." Haliva said as she turned to look at Uta, "That barrier… it's mine".

Uta slowly turned to look at Haliva, "Put the barrier down… if you still want your head that is." She threatened.

Haliva sighed in response to what Uta said, "What is your problem, you are a demon, just like us, you know damn well these humans aren't worth protecting." She voiced out.

"Put down the barrier." Uta repeated.

Haliva looked to the sky, "Love has made you blind, I'd know, I don't even know why I'm doing this for him… but still." She pulled out her blade, "I still know I've taken the right path,".

Uta looked to the ground in silence, her blade suddenly appearing in her hands, "I don't think you heard me. I said, "Put down the damn barrier!". She raged.

Uta charged toward Haliva at full speed and Haliva just took a battle pose as she waited for her.

"Demon of lust…. open your eyes!" Haliva yelled.

......…

Hina opened her eyes and found herself, crashed on a boulder, she grunted as she sat upright.

"That fall was no joke." Hina uttered, she glanced past her sword that was resting on the rubles of stones.

"I need to find Zeno," She said as she pulled out her sword and stood to her feet.

While she was dusting her clothes, she heard someone clearing their throat behind her.

As soon as she heard it, she quickly turned with her sword pointed at the person. When she got a look at who it was she immediately frowned her face.

"Convenient of you to come to me yourself saves me the trouble of hunting you down myself." Hina asserted.

Andrew sat on top of a boulder with her legs crossed and his and resting on his lap as he smiled.

"Hello there, Hina, you were out for quite a while, you good?" Andrew asked.

Hina groaned in anger, "Bastard!".
