Demigods

Chapter 56

"SILENCE!!" the demon sounded angry. "You're all gonna die. Will die" he said again. "You, you. I'll kill you first. How dare you burn me with your rotten fire. Hiaaa"

The demon dropped itself towards them but before it fell down, a dagger stuck in his left chest.

"Akkkh"

the devil fell backwards.

"Everything, come closer and bow your heads" Lio said.

"What do you really want to do?" said Kenan while holding the already fainted Nada.

"Burning this tree. And you enter into my ring of fireballs. If you go out before I give you a cue, don't blame me if you're burned too"

All the members of the D'hunter followed Lio's words and came closer to him and lowered their heads as Lio commanded.

"Gazo"

Viro vomited blood.

"You, if you vomit look stupid. My shoes are so dirty" grumbled Ardan while carrying Viro.

"Hehe, at least. After I die I will be satisfied that I have soiled your shoes" Viro murmured softly. He began to lose consciousness just like Nada.

"Currently, if you die, I'll throw you there"

After they gathered together, suddenly their gaze darkened. Yes, everything was covered in the pitch-blue flames surrounding him.

While Lio himself was seen outside the fire, he knelt down directing his power towards the tree's roots.

"ARRGHA"

The devil's screams were shrill. Sure enough, attacking the tree was the same as attacking his vital point.

The demon tried to get close to Lio but he could not. Slowly from his body came the dragon fire from within his body.

"Stop! Akkkh. It hurts so much" the devil's screams roared.

As with the demon, the huge butterfly that attacked them earlier was also seen lying on the ground and wriggling. Caterpillars are like that too.

"Aakhh. Ampun. Tolong hentikan"

Slowly, the tree began to burn. Right what Lio thought, the tree was sticking out so widely. The dragon fire started to creep everywhere and the demon slowly turned into ashes. All the animals there were also slowly becoming ashes.

"Akkhh, you ... You ... He won't forgive you. He will surely avenge you for my death" said the demon, whose head was above ground. Slowly the head disappeared too.

All the animals there also disappeared into ashes. Lio still remained standing in his place, observing his dragon fire which began to devour the tree.

"Him? What 'he' do you mean is the same person?" muttered Lio. "Interesting, it looks like my journey won't be easy to find this 'him"

Elsewhere, the mayor of Regoon was about to see them in his basement.

"Let's hurry. I can't wait to see them become your food. After that it will get rewarded" he told himself as he walked cheerfully out the door.

But when he opened the door, how surprised he was. His basement was now burnt to ashes.

"W-What's going on?" muttered.

"That's her. The door is right there" Ardan said, pointing towards the mayor's place.

"You-you guys?" he said he didn't believe. The man who was supposed to be the devil's meal was still alive and obliterated his master. Realize that he'll get in trouble. The old man tried to escape. He ran towards the elevator-like door and was about to close it.

"Damn you old man. Where are you running, huh?" said Ardan while running after him.

Dorian

A shot from Ardan shot towards the mayor and hit his leg. He fell down when he closed the door.

"You think you can just run away? You old fucking jackass" Ardan said, handcuffing the mayor's hand.

"Huh, we have to hand it over to the chairman. All the chaos in this city is his doing" Ardan said annoyedly.

Luna who had just put on a flat face now pressed the elevator button and immediately took them out of there.

"Aakkh, my legs, my feet" the middle-aged man shouted in pain.

"One shot you complained your legs hurt? What about your family you turned into that monster huh? You savages"

"You're all stupid. You have killed him it means there is no antidote for the citizens of Regoon city and also my family" the mayor said, leaving them all speechless.

Sure enough, if the demon died who would give him the antidote?

"I-ini-" murmured Ardan.

"There is no antidote" Lio said briefly without turning his head. "From the beginning you've been tricked by the devil. There was no antidote from the beginning"

"Who are you? Fucking liar. It was the devil who created all this, he also had the antidote" the man said.

"Hem, then say. Is there an antidote for a dead man to lose blood and his body to rot? If so, can they go back to how they were? Being a normal human again? Are you sure if there's an antidote they won't be defective?" said Lio.

Sure enough, the citizens of the city of Regoon who had become undead had already lost their blood. His body was also slowly rotting. That way their important organs would also have been damaged.

"A-What ..." murmured the man.

"He, he's been tricking you from the beginning. You think that sacrificing your family would be the ruler of this world? Wrong, you just made them die horribly. Do you know the consequences of inhaling the powder in his body?" said Lio who was still looking ahead. "It's like a life-seeking device that forcibly takes the spirit in the body and destroys it. Although the demon can restore your family as it was, it can't bring back their already destroyed spirits"

"No way" he murmured while sitting limp.

"That means, the city of Regoon really can't be saved?" kenan.

"Hem"

"Then the dead bodies, how?" ardan.

"It can only destroy them all so as not to spread to other cities" explained Lio.

Ting

The door opened and they were already in the mayor's office. Lio and the others came out from there, not least the middle-aged man who was now being dragged by Ardan.

As they walked out, the servants and guards who saw them dragging the mayor did not stop them from sobbing.

"Master, thank you very much" said the few servants who were currently prostrating themselves before Lio and the D'hunter members.

"What do they mean?" Ardan's murmur.

"Thank you all for releasing us from this prison"

"Wake up" said Kenan.

They all woke up staring at Lio and the others.

"What do you mean?"

"We've been forced to serve the devil for years. We were threatened with murder if we were betrayed. Today you have succeeded in capturing the mayor, in the future there will be no more problems"

"Based on a lowly servant, how dare you-Aakhh" the middle-aged man shouted as Ardan kicked his leg.

"Are there any other humans here?" said Lio.

"There is no sir. Only the ten of us are still human. The rest have been made undead by the mayor"

"Lio, we also have to evacuate them" whispered Kenan.

"Hem, if you stay here, you'll be the foodstuff for the corpses. Is there another car here?"
