104 Chapter 32 - Green Demons = Best Demons (2/2)

\”Oh no, RUN! RUN YOU FOOLS RUN!\” Kenji roared, his impish body growing long and lean, his height increasing, a crown of green flame appearing above his head while a golden sceptre appeared in his right hand. Rows of abilities spun into existence in his mind, powers rushed into his body and a compulsive desire to follow a script entered his very soul.

\”Thank you for destroying my enemies,\” cackled Kenji, who very much was still attempting to pull away from the force using him like a puppet. \”You are free to die now and add your corpses to my kingdom. Fear not, your end shall come swiftly.\”

\”Kenji? Is this another test?\” Ellie said, not having even raised her guard yet.

\”Fool, just- FIGHT ELLIE, ALL OF YOU FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES - j-just die already!\” Kenji rose both hands and unleashed [Armagheddon]. Instantly the prison altered, the sky flashed green, the cracks in the walls were filled with an emerald light, and the demons were driven into a frenzy.

In Kenji's right hand appeared a green crystal, a [Soul Anchor] that would bind their souls to him. Collect enough souls, and Kenji would evolve to a boss of epic proportions. Kenji dropped the [Soul Anchor] and stared at his rebellious hand.

\”What is happening?\” Kenji muttered, as adventurers were butchered.

\”Stop this, HALT EVERY DEMON KILL YOURSELF!\” Kenji roared, a dozen demonic blades piercing their own necks.

\”Keep fighting worms! Destroy the invaders and bring me their souls!\” Kenji corrected, snarling, holding his head high, arms pulled apart by separate wills.

\”[Soul Reactor]!\” One voice roared, the captured adventurer souls being pulled into the [Soul Anchor].

\”[Obliterate]!\” The other screamed, and smashed the black sceptre into his own head.

And all became darkness.

In that darkness, Kenji felt limp. His own body, his real body, feeling a great burning.

[Obliterate] had been powerful enough to destroy his enhanced head...

...too powerful, as Kenji felt grey goo splatter-free from a web of wounds.

The Awakened Green Overlord body vanished around him, a chest appearing, the demons quickly restrained by Spirit Warriors that rushed off the path.

\”The Prison has been retaken, fear not, we have arrived-\”

Sound drowned out, as Kenji lay down. To his side lay the horns of Ram,s her eyes staring sightlessly into the ceiling. To his right was one of the Bloodhorn, convulsing as a fiery demon blade lay stuck into his gut. His also gasp haunted Kenji to the core.

Between them, Kenji became cold...so very cold...

The sky became blurred, hazy, faint.

The colours all merged to white.

And then faded to black.
