Demigods

Chapter 73

When Lio opened his eyes, he was still in his place, lying in the bamboo forest. As he looked around, all those places were already in a mess. It was like a very fierce fight had occurred.

"Ugh"

Lio tried to stand up from his place.

"You think you can beat me? Just dream"

Lio also circulated his gaze trying to find the source of the voice. His footsteps led him to the side of the forest. There the black-robed man was fighting with someone. A man with a tall sturdy body, he also wears black clothes, namun there is a striking orange color pattern from his clothes. The pattern with the eagle image caught his attention.

"You think a god like you can kill us? Just dream, even if you gods kill us. But the great master can resurrect us. So it's useless, nothing will really destroy us" said the black-robed man.

"Devil Zulla, don't you think I don't know about it. And I also have other ways that you can't come back to life" said the man in the eagle-patterned suit.

"Where do you know my name?"

"Name only, why don't I know. You are also the top demon ranks. The devil who was chosen by Zico to be a loyal follower. Hem, you must really like that, let me guess how old you are. Em, it must be two to three thousand years. Unfortunately, you've killed and eaten a lot of people, so ... To this day, your age will be extended"

The man attacked the demon Zulla, he pulled out a colored sword packaging out of nowhere.

"What a hell, who is he?" muttered Lio who was now looking at the fight.

They were so fast, attacking each other. Making Lio's eyes that saw him become confused.

"Is this all your strength? Hahaha, rotten god, you will die at my hands"

The demon kicked the man into the air, making his body float. Quickly the demon was already on top of him and kicked the man to the ground.

Boomm

The man fell to the ground making a puff of dust surround the area.

"Uhuk, ah I was a little careless" the man murmured.

"Don't I tell you, you won't be able to kill me. There is, you will die first" said the demon as he walked up to him. "Nobody can stop us from ruling this world or annihilating us. Not even gods like you"

The devil seemed to be taking something out of his hand. No, but his hand turned into a very sharp pointed object.

"It seems like killing a god isn't difficult either. But let's see, is eating you as good as eating a human? If it doesn't taste good, then I'll throw you into the crocodile enclosure. Hahaha, later the great lord must be very happy because I have killed a god"

The man looked badly injured, it seemed like the punches and kicks from the demon had weakened his vital point.

The demon was about to point his hand at the man, but Lio quickly shot his arm.

Two bullets slammed into the devil's arm and his neck.

The devil did not seem to be in pain at all. The demon just wiped his blood quietly then turned to look towards Lio.

"You again? You're not dead yet?" the demon suddenly disappeared and was now in front of Lio. "You're so brave, there's rarely a rare human like you. I will kill you and make you my loyal slave. I'll make you an immortal that can never die, if I don't allow it"

The demon grabbed Lio by the neck and strangled her.

"Let's enjoy this day of your death"

"Ugh"

Lio's body lifted into the air, he felt extremely choked. He wanted to fight but his body lost all its power.

"Arrggghhh" the demon suddenly cried.

It turned out that behind the demon, the man was attacking him with a sword, making him scream in pain.

Brugh

Lio fell to the ground.

"Akkhh, god damn it. It hurts so much"

The demon turned around to fight the man but Lio quickly kicked his leg making him fall to the ground.

"Aakh, you guys are really shitty creatures"

"Death to you today. Die" said the demon with fury.

Lio was only silent in place, while the man was preparing with his sword.

Before long, all the bamboo leaves shot towards them like a sharp object.

"Revelation!" the man shouted and ran to push Lio.

Lio was so astonished, like there was a golden-yellow ball protecting him and that person.

"Be careful, those leaves can kill you at any time" the man said.

Lio just fell silent looking at it, the man seemed to close his eyes and the leaves fell to the ground instantly.

"Hey, kid. Looks like I need your help" the man said as he patted Lio on the shoulder. "Hold this" the man continued while giving Lio a dagger. "I'll distract him, if there's a crack then you should kill him immediately, by decapitating him"

"Why me? Aren't you afraid that I'll ally with him and then kill you?" said Lio who now felt confused because the man trusted him so much.

"Hahaha, I know you have a big grudge against him and want to kill him. Then this is your chance"

Lio received the dagger, and the man immediately ran to attack the demon Zulla.

Lio tightly grasped the dagger and waited for the cue from the man. As the man thrust his sword into the demon Zulla and cornered him, he shouted towards Lio.

"HURRY UP!"

Lio immediately ran towards them.

"Akhh, goddamn creature. You two are planning to kill me"

Jleb

Lio managed to stick his dagger into the devil's neck and with one strong pull the demon's head was cut off. At that moment Lio only realized, before Lio attacked. The demon Zulla had already thrust his pointy hand into the man's left chest and smashed his heart leaving the man severely injured.

Brugh

The demon and the man both fell to the ground.

"Gazo"

"Master" said Lio to approach the man and hold his shoulder.

"Good work, son" said the man, smiling with his mouth covered in blood.

"Sir, I'll take you to the doctor right away"

"No" said the man stopping Lio. "You have to hide him" he continued, pointing at the severed head of the demon.

"What?"

Lio turned his eyes to look at the head. The head slowly turned into ashes that flew through the air. Shortly after, only a stone was left there.

"You must hide the stone somewhere safe, until no human or demon finds it"

"But, why? He's dead"

"Yes, he's dead. However he could rise again, there was someone who could resurrect him. You have to hide the stone from the man. My power can only kill him, but it cannot stop his awakening. Someday, there will be someone who can destroy them until they cannot rise again from the dead. Until that guy comes, you have to hide the stone safely" explained the man who had started dying.

"But how can I take care of him? Those demons would have been able to find him so easily"

The man took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

"Go make a wooden box from the mahogany tree and give a dragon carving according to this embroidery on it. Put this stone in it. You also have to put the box in an airtight place so the devil can't come in to get it"

Lio received a handkerchief that had embroidered the dragon image. Lio was confused as to what he should do.

"And again .." said the man began to weaken. "You need to get out of this place quickly. The death powder of this demon will bring forth another demon. It could be, they will take this stone to be resurrected. Before they come to arrest you, you need to hide in a safe place"

"But I'm"

Lio was about to say something but the man had already turned into a blinding light and disappeared just like that.

Lio's flashback memory is over
