Blizt 'N Demon

Chapter 47 - Nevan Explanation

"Previously my door lock was hard to open because it was too old, so I replaced it. I changed the door, all at once" said Rafa.

"Hm.. All right, but your hands are bruised and scratched. Your feet are a little blue in some parts. Small scratches near the eyebrows. Can you explain what really happened?" nevan said suspiciously.

"I just accidentally fell off the stairs."

"Where's Leon?"

"He found his family, so he left."

Seeing Rafa's slightly moody expression, Nevan grew even more curious, "The boy.. Didn't hurt you?"

"What do you mean?" Rafa frowned in surprise.

"Just be honest with me. Did Leon leave after you were hurt?"

"I don't understand what you mean. How could Leon hurt me?"

Nevan sighed, "Forget what I said."

Rafa becomes suspicious of Nevan. The young man who was only a year older than him seemed to be hiding something. As a child he lived with his uncle's family, so he was often with Nevan. He knows what he's like, "You're hiding something, right? What are you hiding from me?"

"T-no. Whatchu mean?"

"You knew something about Leon and asking me something strange like that arrived. Honestly, you're hiding something, aren't you?"

"Haha.. Of course not. Why am I hiding something from you? Even now you're the one who's hiding something, '" Nevan replied clumsily.

"When we're brothers, but you're still hiding something from me, Nev."

"What's? I'm not hiding anything from you. Why are you looking at me like I stole candy from you?"

Rafa threw away his face and immediately stood up, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. I'm gonna go."

Nevan stared at Rafa's departure, "Where are you going? It's almost night, don't come out."

"That's my business. You don't have to interfere" Rafa walked to the door and ignored Nevan's ban.

Just as he opened the door, he caught a glimpse of someone's shadow, "Leon?"

But the shadow of Leon he saw disappeared as fast as the wind. He walked quickly to the front yard where Leon was standing. But there's no one there. He opened the gate and looked out. No one outside crossed.

"I must be hallucinating because I'm thinking about it. Hah.., now I have to get to the training ground, "inner.

When he was about to step foot, he was made to freeze in surprise. A pair of eyes were right in front of him. It's only 5cm. He was so surprised he couldn't react.

"Rafa..?!" Nevan threw a dagger at the person in front of Rafa. However the person immediately jumped back and managed to dodge his attack. He immediately ran up to Rafa who was standing at the gate.

Nevan stood beside Rafa while holding a dagger in his hand. He stared at the foreign youth in front sharply. The aura he exuded actually belonged to a demon, but his appearance was that of a human, "Who are you?!"

Rafa looked at the young man. He wears black pants and a hoodie. Although his face looked unfamiliar, somehow there was one person who was in his mind when he saw that face, "Leon?" muttered.

After a moment of silence, Leon spoke in a small voice, "See you later." Within a few seconds, he disappeared as if he had never been there.

"L-Leon? Leon?" Rafa walked quickly closer to where Leon had been before.

Nevan himself stared around warily. After being convinced there was no enemy, he immediately removed his dagger and walked up to Rafa, "You better stay home. It'd be dangerous to go out alone at night."

Rafa looked at Nevan, "Where did you get that gun? I saw it clearly. Don't make excuses."

"A-" Nevan made it hard to say the word. Rafa now urged to get an answer from him. "That's... It's nothing, I just get it from the furniture seller."

"No such seller sells daggers. Answer honestly, where did you get it and why did you bring something like that?"

***

"I had no intention of appearing in front of him. Especially until he saw my presence," Inner Leon with a flat expression.

"As an apology, I have good news. When I left earlier, I tried to create a dimensional crack. At first I tried, but it worked. This way, we can go faster there," Need said with a big smile.

"You mean, you can move from this world to the demon world?"

"Yes!"

"We're leaving now. But don't go straight to where 'they' are."

Need nodded. He focused himself and pointed his palm forward. At that instant, the air in front of him seemed to crack like glass. The crack widened and in there looked so dark before it was finally illuminated by a point of light.

"Now we can go in" Need said.

Leon walked into the hole without hesitation, followed by Need.

After the two of them entered, the hole slowly closed back as if nothing had ever happened there.

***

Both of them sat on the sofa. Rafa continued to stare at Nevan, while his brother just glanced at him and turned his gaze in the other direction.

"Tell me, where did you come from and why did you bring such a sharp object? Then for what? You want to go with the brawl?" said Rafa who sounded introgating.

"No, of course not. Why would I go with something like that?" reply Nevan while looking at the young man.

Rafa took the phone in his pocket because it vibrated. He immediately lifted it, "I'll soon–"

"Sorry today I can't train you. There's a patient in an emergency."

"A-oh, okay. It's okay, brother."

After that brief conversation, the caller immediately closed the call. Rafa sighed and looked at Nevan again, "Now I have a lot of free time. So I'll wait until you answer."

"Is it time I explained all that to her?" inner Nevan. The tip of his foot patted the floor in confusion. This is his habit when he thinks hard.

"Watch it, I don't want you to go with brawls or anything like that. Uncle will be sad if you do that" said Rafa.

"I'll say it honestly. Besides, I'll say something important. First, the weapon is mine. Second, I don't go with stupid brawls like that. Then I came here because I had something to say. More precisely I reveal."

Seeing the serious expression Nevan showed, Rafa immediately listened closely. It's not usual for Nevan to be this serious.

"I'm here to make sure you're in shape. Because you live with Leon. When a body without a heart was found, I went out at night to investigate. But I don't know if Leon followed me quietly. Unfortunately, at that time, I met a powerful demon.

I fought with him and when that happened, Leon's sudden appearance was seen by the demon. He goes after her and eats Leon's heart. He should have died, but when–"

"Devil? Leon's Heart... Eaten?" Rafa was a little surprised when he heard Nevan's words. He doesn't know if Nevan found out about the devil, he even fought with him? What'd he do it for? Besides, how could Nevan not be hurt?

Seeing Rafa's reaction, Nevan nodded. He continued, "I'll explain it a little. After eating Leon's heart, the demon's strength increased greatly. But not long after that, black smoke shot out from his body. His face cracked and emitted smoke. His body decayed and was burned by smoke, then disappeared without a remnant.

After witnessing the demon's death, my focus returned to Leon. I brought her home. I thought he was dead. No human being can live without a heart. When it was supposed to be like that, he suddenly came to his senses. The holes in the chest, the breath, the pulse, everything works fine.

Even the heart that had been previously eaten by the devil was beating. He should no longer have a heart. He came back to life without me knowing the cause. Not long after he regained consciousness, he was unconscious again for several days.

That's why I won't let you in. I don't know how to explain the situation to you. Until he finally realized when you went into his room. I was grateful at that moment. But also beware of him. Anyway, he's dead. But why would he come back to life in such a good state?"

Rafa was silent listening to Nevan's explanation. That's a nonsensical thing. But learning from his experience, he believed in Nevan's words.
