Chapter 325: Chapter CXXXIII - The Guilt of the Devil (part 1)
It is all silence in the academy.
Everyone was simply too frozen to be making any sound. Even the flames that were already burning were dying due to the pressure in the air, everything was simply too silent.
PRANGG!!!
The sound of metal and crystals falling to the floor was heard by literally everyone in the academy. It wasn't even that loud, but since everything was so silent, everyone was able to hear it very clearly.
Then, everything turned wild.
VWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rubbles above me crumbled and exploded. The wind from my spot turned heavily distorted as strength returned to my magic soul, pushing everything that was standing around me.
The wounds on my body heals at an extreme rate as my vision starts to turn red again. The energy inside my body is insanely fluctuating, as if crying to leave my body.
It's fine…
Let it all out…
ZRRRGGGG!!!!!!
VWOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Signs of an abnormal shadow magic can be seen growing all over my body. A single pitch black wing quickly showed up behind me as horns slowly formed on top of my head, between the hairs. Not enough, another devil wing finally appeared on the left side on my back, the same size as the first, the same shape as the first, made with the same material as the first.
Two devilish crusted wings, very real, and no longer formed out of shadow magic.
I'm finally looking like a true devil.
My whole hand became cladded in black aura, while my fingers are forming a black sharp claws. My legs were the same, but they are being cladded by black scales that barely look like shadow boots, all the way until the knees.
I stood proud on top of the rubbles of the girls dormitory building and faced the frozen opponents in front of me. My eyes are glowing red as my retinas turned pitch black, with black veins coming out of the eyes into the skin around it.
Black streaks also appeared decorating my skin, even on my face. From the black streaks, I can feel that they don't just serve as a decoration, but also as some sort of external magic vessel around my body.
I can conjure shadow magic much easily with these on my body…
With a thought, my body began to float upwards. My wings do not have to work hard to bring me up, considering how big and powerful they are.
And finally, while I'm floating in the air, I took a deep breath.
"Haaahh…..."
This feels… exhilarating.
With these very eyes, I glared at the puny demons under me with a demeaning glare. Their leader, Lemillia's uncle, quickly snapped out of his daze and shouted, as loud as he possibly could.
Before long, things became loud again.
"F-F-Fire!!! Fire with everything you got!!!"
The demons quickly snapped out of their daze as well and formed the most powerful magic that they had.
Giant fireballs, high pressure wind slashes, high voltage lightning strikes, and other powerful magics all shot at me at the same time.
There are plenty of them, and each probably has a magic tier of at least a Knight tier.
But, I don't even have to dodge this.
BLAARRRR!!!!!
BAAAAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lemillia's uncle tried to control his breathing under this heavy pressure, but breathing alone is already difficult, let alone facing this...
Devil.
He looked around to find the other demons in the same state, gasping for air. They had no choice but to get the rock as quickly as possible if they wanted to defeat this devil.
No, forget defeating it.
Their only choice… is to survive… from this devil.
His gaze quickly returned to the monster, only to become even more miserable.
As the smoke cleared out, they can see that the devil is still floating in the air and has taken no damage at all. Not even my clothes were damaged, aside from the damage that they had already done to me before I activated this form.
"... That's it?"
My sentence was simple, but it drops to them like thunder. The demons quickly fell to their butts as they tried to run… but I won't let them.
I can't let them...
Not after what they have done.
ZINGG!!!
I moved like a blur and stopped right next to one of them. The demon I arrived with turned his incredibly scared gaze at me, and I gave him a rather soft grin.
"Hu-Hua--!?"
SHRESSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
I swung my hand, fully augmented with shadow magic and formed claws on my finger. With a single swipe of my hand, the entire body of the demon got separated into six different pieces.
BRAAKKK!!!!!!
"W-Wha... Haaa!!!!"
The other demons screamed as the pieces and blood dropped to the ground very loudly from the demon I just killed. They tried running away and even flying faster.
But, before I started chasing them, I closed my eyes and cupped my hand.
Enjoy this… this very moment…
My eyes were opened wide, and the grin on my face couldn't get even wider.
May the bloodbath… begin.
A chuckle leaked out from my mouth, and slowly it became louder. It turned into a laugh, and it blurred as my position changed.
I arrived next to another demon, and the laugh became even wilder as blood decorated the entire skies when I blasted his face with my fist with an uppercut.
BAAAAAKKK!!!!!
His head immediately turned into juice from a simple punch.
The other demons stared at me despaired, but my laugh is only growing larger.
"HEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!!!!!--"
I disappeared and sliced again…
SHRESSHHH!!!!!
and again…
"GAAAHHHKK!!!--"
BRAKKK!!!
and again…
SHRESSH!!!!
"AAAKH!--"
BRAKK!!!
and again, and again…
and again…!
And again! Again!
More, again!! Again!!
Again, I say!!!
Yahaha!!!
The demons were completely overwhelmed by my presence. They tried countering with their powerful magic attacks, but right before they were able to fire it, a hand with fingers sharper than any blade present simply sliced them into multiple pieces.
"S-Stop her!!!-"
Lemillia's uncle tried commanding, and the two demons next to him quickly lifted their wands up.
SHRESH!!!
SHRESSSHHH!!!!!
As their pieces fell to the ground, I watched the old demon's face as he horrifyingly noticed. How his eyes slowly rolled to the sides, how his expression slowly turned from fear to shock, all in slow motion.
My eyes perceived all of it...
And it was rather joyous.
BRAAKKK!!!!
Their pieces fell to the ground, and Lemillia's uncle spared no time to panic and quickly turned his hand towards me.
But before his hand was able to conjure any magic, my grin and I already disappeared.
SHRESHH!!!
SHHRESSHHH!!!
"-AAAkk!!!!--"
"GHAAKKK!!!!--"
More screams can be heard throughout the entire academy as corpses fell even more. The demons were previously guarding the students as well as roaming around the academy to look for potential threats from the humans. Some are guarding the rooftops, some even went inside the laboratory building to hunt down escaped students, and some were actually in the process of killing them.
But right after I arrived, every single one of them was nothing more than a lump of red slime on the ground, dripping from the ceilings.
It's certainly amazing how there are this many demons that managed to sneak in. I'm counting over thirty, and they are all capable mages and fighters.
But in my eyes, they are nothing.
"GHAAKKK!!!!!"
BRESSHH!!!!
More…
SHRESSHHH!!!!
More... more…
As I bounce around and fly with my wings at mach 10, I truly did not pay any attention to whatever is happening. My focus was centered only on one thing…
Demon's blood...
I want them to continue covering my field of view.
Everytime I swiped my sharp fingers to a demon, the entire skies turned red. Everytime I placed my face only two centimeters away from a demon, my face was covered by the same red goo.
I want more of it... I won't be able to live without it.
And without realizing, all the demons had died.
I didn't realize that I leaped from place to place in the entire academy, killing all the demons I saw that was causing terror and chaos. I did it all in a single slash each, and all the demons died very quickly.
All the demons in the academy, the ones above the buildings, even the ones guarding the students from escaping. Every single one of them were sliced into juice from just me flying around and arriving next to them.
Blood can be seen slowly dripping and falling down from the rooftops of the buildings, as well as pieces of the demon corpses that were above it. The ones that were on the ground were simply there, puddling the floor.
I killed all of them. Every single one of them. All those dripping blood, they were me. My doing.
And yet...
"Oh man, that was boring…"
I returned to the rubbles of the girls dormitory. I spared Lemillia's uncle just so that I can have one last fun with him.
Now that all the demons here have died, what can he do?
As for Lemillia... We will have a one on one talk later.
Her uncle comes first... I will make this as enjoyable as possible.
I landed in front of the two, and the uncle looked even more afraid.
"Whaa…! A-Althoria!! Talk to her!!"
Unfortunately for him, Lemillia stayed silent. She was simply too confused as to what she had to do. I killed all the demons, which means her plan is simply impossible to be continued. And now, I'm standing right in front of her, with unbearable rage.
Her uncle snapped out of his fear and noticed the confused Lemillia. He gritted his teeth and stared back at me.
"Tch! Useless!!!"
The uncle charged forward towards me. Such bravery and foolishness, but he still needs to die here. While he dashed forward, I dashed forward as well, only that I am ten times faster than his and my claws are ten times sharper and stronger than his sword.
A wide grin formed on my face just when I lifted my hand backwards, ready to stab this guy in the face. With enough strength, I charged my razor sharp hand and was ready to stab all the way through this guy's face.
Die… you old fool!!!
But, a shadow immediately loomed in front of me, with traces of electricity.
I recognized it… but I couldn't stop.
NO…
STOP!!!!!
ZRREEEKKK!!!!
