Chapter 48 Lies and Deception (Pt 1)



It was hell!r

On that very day, I knew the true meaning of despair. Seeing as endless blood gushed out of humans, as their screams filled the air and endless screeches echoed in my head, I could do nothing but watch in fear and hopelessness.r

The Demons rushed into our abode and slaughtered us in our hundreds. We thought we could protect ourselves… what a joke that turned out to be.r

Even with our Gifts, we were exterminated. Some of us made weapons, but they were no match for the seemingly endless horde of Demons that lunged crazily at us with bloodthirsty expressions on their faces.r

I saw them tear my comrades apart, limb from limb. I watched them rip out my friends’ internal organs and feast on their blood. I witnessed how they crushed the bones of my loving family and toyed with their mangled corpses.r

I saw everything!r

Finally, it slowly neared my turn. Unlike everyone else, I didn’t have a Gift made for combat, so I could not join in the fight. Even if I wanted to try, the gory sight before me made my body petrified as I shrunk back in terror.r

>CRUNCH< Bones cracked and were crushed mercilesslyr

>SPLURGE< Blood splattered and oozed all across the concrete floors and walls.r.

“Uahhhh! Arghhhh! Arh-” Screams of fear, mixed with absolute pain filled the air, only to be finally stopped by the jaws of the wicked beasts.r

Suddenly, no sounds were present anymore. The human bawlings were replaced with the disgusting grunts of the Demons as they amusedly bathed in the remnants of everyone’s flesh and blood.r

“GURRRUKKKK!”r

And so… before I knew it… I was the only one left!r

Of course, the sadistic monsters had no intention of sparing me, as they drew closer to finish what they had started and end my miserable life. My body refused to move, even though I knew what was coming. The several creatures all grinned as they advanced, stepping on the blood and gore of those they had already killed.r

“Hicc… hicc… somebody… please save me!” I sobbed, tears endlessly streaming from my eyes.r

There was no hope for salvation, yet I prayed for one. Like a lost little child in the darkness, I prayed for even the faintest glimmer of light. However, there was no response.r

Finally, the Demons had surrounded me where I sat in hopelessness, and as my body trembled, I saw the ugly hands of the monsters reach out to grab me.r

This was the end!r

But… just as I was about to meet my demise in the cruelest way possible, the glimmer of hope appeared.r

>SWISH!< I heard a slashing sound and closed my eyes as the sharp noise affected my ears.r

As soon as I opened them, the monsters whose hands had reached out for me were all lying on the ground, stained in blood.r

“Eh…?” I mumbled in confusion, wondering why I wasn’t dead.r

Lifting my head to see the many monsters around me, I noticed that all of them had lost their limbs, without exception. r

Their eyes were no longer on me. No… they focused their attention on my far side, glaring so hatefully at something, or rather, someone.r

“Hey kid… are you okay?” I heard a voice call out to me.r

It was warm and soothing, filled with strength and comfort that I couldn’t describe with words. My trembling body slowly calmed down, and as my eyes went to the one who had spoken, they widened in relief and an indescribable feeling of safety.r

“I… I… Hicc…” My words were choked by the endless sobs that gushed out of me.r

I couldn’t speak as my entire being was overwhelmed with emotion. However, unlike before, when I was shrouded in despondency and fear, this time the feelings I had were so bright that I couldn’t fathom them.r

“There’s no need to speak. Just sit there… and watch. I’ll surely enact justice for those you have lost!” The stranger said.r

My tear-filled eyes suddenly dried up as I watched him bring out his blade. The Demons who were stunned for a moment suddenly began their loud grumblings and growled at the man who was obviously a threat to them.r

“There’s no need to be impatient… you’ll all have your turn!” He said, giving a very chilly vibe with every word he spoke.r

In an instant, red flashes of lightning burst forth from his weapon, and his entire dark-cloaked attire became shrouded in the massive aura that was generated as a result of the sparks of crimson energy.r

“Now then… COME!” r

The Demons spared no time in their march as they angrily lunged at the man in their great numbers. r

Even though my savior appeared very dependable, I couldn’t help but feel worry and fear for the man as I saw the Demons rush at him in their hundreds.r

However… my worries turned out to be unnecessary.r

>SWOOOSH!!!<The wind made way for the man as he dashed toward the Demons with inconceivable speed.r

My eyes couldn’t keep up with his movements as the only thing I saw were bursts of red lightning, followed by demon blood suddenly splashing out of their bodies.r

>SWISH<r

His blade tore through their flesh like a hot knife through butter, and in mere moments, I saw over half of them already annihilated by the man.r

The rest of the Demons had ceased their assault and were already trembling in fear as they saw the man undauntedly continue his advancer

“What’s wrong… why aren’t you coming any longer?” His deep voice echoed.r

For a brief moment, silence filled the air, and I could feel the tension build up between the man and the Demons.r

Finally, the eyes of the monsters turned toward me, and I could feel all their malicious intents concentrate on my location. r

I instantly became paralyzed, crushed by their killing intent. A sinister idea seemed to have popped into their head as they decided to approach me instead.r

“GURUKKKKK!!!” They growled, lunging in my direction.r

Maybe they wanted to use me as a hostage against the man, or simply just wanted to finish me off as a final resistance against humanity. I had no idea.r

All I knew was that… I was going to die!r

“Don’t even think about it!” I heard the man’s voice echo, and in a flash, he was right beside me, watching the demons rush in our direction.r

The advancing monsters froze in shock, but before they could halt or retreat, he drew his sword again.r

“You’re all… going to die here!”r
