Chapter 244 - The Lonely Devil (5) (1/2)
(Jane's PoV)
”Do you miss me?”
The red devil halted its movement without taking its eyes away from me. A low growl escaped from its throat and without wasting any second, it pounced on me before I could even stop properly.
It was so sudden but it didn't mean I didn't prepare for it. With just a bit of twist of my body and feet, I managed to dodge its attack. Its huge body created a buzzing sound when it delivered its punch, a sign that it did take me seriously.
”Trying to catch me off guard? How cute!” I smirked. Blue flame covered my hands again as I made my move.
Here, in this world, I didn't need to hold back. I went all out battling with it until the gloomy surrounding changed into a bright one with blue flame flickering here and there. It growled even more ferocious as the time ticked by. It didn't seem to accept the fact that it couldn't touch even the edge of my clothes. With its big body -three times my own body, it looked slow in my eyes thus made it unable to see my movement.
I guessed I must have hurt its pride.
”Human, who are you?”
I tilted my head as I looked at the wounded devil in front of me. ”Now you want to know who I am?”
”Just answer the damn question! It's been a long time since I found someone who can fight with me this long.”
”Is it your last wish?” I was just teasing, of course! I didn't even know whether eliminating this creature would be a good thing or not. Surely, if I did, it wouldn't trigger any buŧŧerfly effect, no?
Probably it would create a bigger war between devils and human? I surely didn't want any of that to happen. I had so many things at hand and I really wanted to enjoy my normal days. I still needed to continue my study in the college -before my father scolded me for taking a long leave!
So yeah, beating it up might be a yes for me, but not killing it -unless someone told me I could do it.
”Last wish, my *ss!” It shouted in rage as it pounced at me again.
Its big fist came down at me with its remaining force. It had exhausted most of its strength so it was not that powerful for now. But, it was pretty much still powerful enough to knock me down if I underestimated it.
Of course, I had prepared myself. With the blue flame in my fist, enhanced by my own spiritual power, I dodged to the side and grabbed its wrist. Such a big move with a big body, it was too easy to dodge. I could feel the vibration from its fist and the air surrounding it when my own hand made contact with it. It was really powerful, indeed.
It roared in pain when my blue flame burned its skin and rapidly advancing to its body. Despite the agony it felt, its red eyes flashed and it used its other hands to attack me. My free hand met its hand and another amount of fire burned it.
I had full control over the fire, of course. If I were to let it burn to its highest power, this red devil would have turned into a pile of ashes long ago.
The ground shook when I threw the big body of the devil onto it with a loud sound. Twisting the arms behind its back, I stepped my foot on its back while chaining the arms and legs with the blue flame. With its arms and legs were bound, it totally became immobile and could only let out painful howl and growl.
”It seems you're so eager to know who I am. Then, let me tell you.” I smirked as I said in a low tone from its back. I paused for a bit, meeting its gaze full of hatred from the corner of its slanted eyes with a smile on my face. ”New master of White Army. Nice to meet you.”
The light in its eyes flickered as shock was clearly seen in those red orbs. There was no hatred, just shock and fear. ”It's... it's you...” It whispered through it gritted teeth.
I waved my hands and the blue flame disappeared from its body, leaving black marks here and there -save the one I used to tie it up. Its terrifying look turned pathetic. Its aura even got suppressed a lot and I couldn't even sense the bloodlust emitting from its body.
It had completely disappeared.
”Now tell me, who is your boss?”
”No! I won't tell you!” It shook its head stubbornly.
