Chapter 43 - Chapter 43. What Just Happen?

A few minutes earlier.

"Ack!" Kim body's stumbles onto the fleshy ground, blood spattered all over his clothes and some got into his mouth.

He spits it out repeatedly, he notices the air is thick and poisonous, and it is hard to breathe, Kim covers his mouth and nose with his hands. It also smelled, the smell was as if they were in a sewer but 1000x times worse.

Kim tried to look around but it was completely dark, bottomless pitch dark typa vibes. He reach around in the dark but he felt a leg, upon touching it, it twitches away. "Ahhh!!!" Kim screamed out in a high pitch voice.

"Shut it! That's just my leg." A familiar voice says as she lit up the surrounding area with her fire magic, she got up and tried to brush the bloods off of her but it was stain onto her clothes.

"I thought I was supposed to be in a fantasy book genre, so why am I in hell? Ain't no one want to be here!" Kim accidentally says the sentence out loud, Yuriel heard him and asks.

"Huh what?! What are you talking about?" She looks around her surroundings and reach out her hand towards Kim, "C'mon, stop speaking like we're in a book, this isn't a story."

Kim looks at her and softly push her hands away, he slowly push himself off of the ground and onto his foot, he brush all of the dirt that's on him but he couldn't do anything about the blood stain.

"Isn't our life just a story In a way?" Kim says as Yuriel was looking for a way out, this caught her attention. "Hmmm?" She tilted her head a bit.

"Nevermind, why am I speaking with someone who beats up me and my friend, half to death at that." Kim mutters to himself.

Yuriel looks at Kim with some guilt, "Hey, I could hear you you know…" She said, there was a bit of apologetic tone in her voice. "I uhm… I may have goof up that time…"

Kim looks at her with a stern stares, "You think?" He says, he brush her aside and walk ahead of her. "Hey but you also tried to attack me!" Yuriel says, though she knows she was in the wrong. "If I have known you weren't apart of that cult-"

"That was after you attack us, we couldn't even had a chance to speak with you before you strike!" Kim shouted out interrupting her, he was angry for sure.

"What if that was a innocent men or travelers?" Kim continues, "You could've killed them!"

Yuriel looks down at the ground, "You… you're right but at that time… I have given the cultists so many chance to stop and run… but they just continue to kill the villagers and burn down their towns!"

Kim looks at her, not knowing what to say, she continues. "Yes I was in the wrong but when you guys show up, I genuinely thought you were a part of them, I have, for a moment truly lost the trust of "those" people!"

Kim shakes his head, "You almost killed me and my friend-" before he could finish what he was going to say, a demon turned around the corner.

They locked eyes with each other. The demon growls as it put up it stances, a fighting stance that is. The demon rushes toward Kim, it bites into Kim arms as he manages to block it.

"Argh!" Kim let out a groan in pain, Yuriel saw this and put her fist together, creating the fiery gauntlet once again. She lunged at the demon that lets go of Kim arm.

The demon lunges back, back away from Yuriel punch. The demon started muttering something to itself, after a few second of straight up gibberish, a dark aura spells appeared.

"Is that dark magic?" Kim thought to himself as he stop the bleeding. The demon casted his dark spells toward Yuriel, she managed to dodges it with ease but upon the spell touching the fleshy walls, it got digested.

"Hmm? Are these walls… alive?" Yuriel didn't have time to think about it, she was more focus on the demon. She kept dodging the demon dark spells, little bits of aura linger around the thickening air.

*Cough!* *Cough!* "The more I keep on dodging, the more it's going to poison the already sicken air." Yuriel rush toward the demon, striking at him.

The demon leaps back and continues to fire dark spells at her. Yuriel tries to block it with her fiery gauntlet but upon it being in contact with it, it suck up all the fire out of the gauntlet.

"Hmm?" Yuriel eyes widen, she was shocked. She leaps back at Kim and stand next to his side.

"Why aren't you attacking like how you were attacking me and my friend?" Kim says to her, she brush it off lightly.

"We don't got time for arguing!" She yell out.

Kim grabs her shoulder, "No like, when we were "fighting" you wasn't this hesitant!"

The demon looks at the two, amused that they were arguing in front of him, it let out a happy snarls before slithering into the darkness.

"Is it gone?" Kim asked. Yuriel shakes her head, she took two deep breaths before saying.

"It's going to ambush us!" She tried to bump her fist together, but for some reason when she do, the gauntlet wouldn't show up, rather she couldn't feel any magic.

"Shoot, I can't feel my mana!" She thought to herself.

Kim looks at her with worry, he could see something was troubling her. Kim placed his finger on the center of his forehead.

"Think Kim! What would one of your novel characters do in this situation?"

The demon jumped out of the shadows and rush toward Kim, surprising him. Yuriel manages to kick the demon away, it went back into the shadows.

"Kim, this is no time to be spacing out!" Yuriel yelled out.

"She right! Is the space too narrow? Is it tight? I mean it's small but…" Kim place his hand on the fleshy wall, upon squeezing it, blood gushed out and onto Kim hand.

"Yuck!" Kim say with disgust. Yuriel look at Kim with awe. Thinking to herself.

"What is this fool doing?! Is he serious trying to be a wannabe detective?" Yuriel taps Kim on the shoulder.

"What are you doing? This is no time to be messy around!!!" She shouted at Kim, the demon seeing an opportunity lunges out toward Yuriel.

Yuriel was caught by the surprise but before the demon can strike her, Kim slammed his body toward the demon, pushing him away.

"Heh, you really think I would just watch from afar?" Kim says, Yuriel for a moment would think that Kim was brave but upon seeing his legs shaking uncontrollably, she sighed and put up her fighting stances.

"Why isn't the demon using dark magic anymore?" Yuriel noticed the sudden changes in the demon action. Before the demon go back into the shadow, Yuriel lunge at it and manages to punch him.

*Left jabs* The demon put up his guards but Yuriel give him the *Right hooks* knocking the demon downs, she tried kicking the demon head but it pulled it body back.

"Weird…" Yuriel bumps her fist together and the fiery gauntlet shows up.

The demon upon seeing this casted out his dark spells. It giggles at Yuriel before making it moves, it launches its spells toward Yuriel. Yuriel moves her head aside and grabs the demon by the necks.

She pulled him up in the air, watching it struggle to breathe, it tried to get her hands off of it but it wouldn't budge, she was simply to strong.

"Tch- you're annoying you know that?" Yuriel slams the demon to the wall. The fleshy wall created the same silhouette hole as the demon, blood slowly gushing out of it.

"Hehehe… what's a human doing here? This place isn't well known for its… touristism for humans to wander down here." The demon was shaking but also find this amusing. It hand twitch for a second, Yuriel seeing this, slammed him against the fleshy wall once again.

"Hmph!" The demon scoffs at her.

Yuriel stared at the demon, "Don't you dare make any sudden move!" She says. The demon could feel the bloodlust coming out of her words.

Kim watches from the side, his body stop trembling after a moment.

"Where are we?" Kim asked of the demon, it laugh to itself for a moment before answering.

"This is hell— no, this is PARADISE!!!" The demon stop trying to get Yuriel hands off of it, instead it told her.

"Kill me, but when you do… I kill return here once again… I will return to paradise—" Yuriel push the demon body into the fleshy wall, teeth grew out from the fleshy wall.

It bites down onto the demon, it chew his arms, Yuriel and Kim could hear the demon bones cracking. The demon let out a painfully scream, was it in pain? Most definitely.

After a moment of watching the demon get eaten, the fleshy wall spats out the demon's bone as it burps away.

Kim with a horrid expression on his face. "What the h*ll was that?! B-bleh— did we just—"

Yuriel taps his shoulder, "Yes, we did." She said.

Yuriel turned back to the fleshy wall, she placed her hand on the wall and move it down a little. "Hmmm…" looking back at Kim.

"Uhm… about our first meeting…" Kim looks at her with his right eyebrows raised. Yuriel continued, "So uhm… my bad!" She twirled her finger in a circle.

Kim looks at her, for a moment, he thought. "No way! This girl… actually say "my bad?" What kind of half ahh apology was that?" Kim took two deep breaths before placing his hand together, he close his eyes for a second before shouting out.

"My bad?!?! My bad is all you could say?" Kim walked in circle angrily, "At that point, don't even apologize!!!"

Yuriel looks at Kim with hesitation, "Uhm yea… now that I thinks about it, that come out disrespectful…"

Kim's looks at her with his eyes widen, "YOU THINK-"

——-

Vas Allen- Kim placed his hand on the thickened air, h-he stops the transition?

"Stop cutting what I'm going to say-"

He say… {Anyways back to the story.}

——-

Vas Allen had the eerie demon on the ground, his arms burned to ash, his legs crippled by rocks. His body shakes uncontrollably due to the fear… fear of Vas Allen.

"P-please…" it says in a cowardly tone, it cried out fake tears.

Vas Allen didn't say anything, it stare at the eerie demon as if he was an pierce of trash, Vas Allen snaps the eerie demon horn in two, he press his finger onto the tip of the horn to feel how sharp it was.

"Oops-" He say as the horn give him a little cut on his finger.

Looking back at the demon, he placed the horn where the demon heart is at. Vas Allen slowly thrust the horn inside the demon, slowly it goes in deeper and deeper.

The eerie demon once again plead for its life but Vas Allen continues pushing In deeper until the pleading became silent, with a snap of his finger. The demon body burned away… along with it atoms…
