613 Just like you, I’m human (2/2)

Seiji blocked the ball with his hand.

The magic football rebounded with a red flash as it attacked Seigo at an even faster speed!!

Seigo continued blocking the football.

*Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!*

The football kept magically flying at him in midair at a faster and faster speed, to the point where ordinary people couldn't even see it clearly anymore!

However, the boy with the nickname of Magic-Devouring Dragon blocked it every time.

Finally, Seigo Harano punched it forcefully to the point where the magic football exploded on contact!!

Despite the great distance, all the students could sense just how powerful his punch was. If he hit a person with that punch instead, it was quite possible… no, that person would definitely be sent flying!

After the football exploded, the abnormal mist on it dissipated.

Was everything over?

If that was all it was, an exorcism didn't seem like much.

Some students just started thinking this when everyone noticed that the temperature dropped even further. Even the sunlight appeared to be dimming.

A gust of chilly wind blew past… this wind brought an ominous, bone-piercing chill!

Something even scarier was coming.

Some students were now afraid and wanted to leave. However, they found themselves unable to move—because their bodies were shaking uncontrollably!

Inside the football field, a blood-red mist appeared out of thin air. This mist became denser and denser and started gathering on the field's surface as if it was material.

Faint strange sounds rang in everyone's ears as the students watched this scene. They smelled a scent which resembled a mixture of alcohol and blood, which further raised their fear.

This was… a real demon!

Their bodies were instinctively warning them to run away at top speed. However, their feet were unable to move.

The students had only planned on watching a little and then leaving if things got dangerous?

It was impossible to even leave!!

Everyone could only watch as a gigantic blood-red humanoid monster formed out of the mist and started approaching!

This was something incredibly dangerous! They would die if it touched them!! Run away!!!

All the students' instincts were warning them to run away. However, only incredibly few students were able to run away. Most students simply stood still, frozen in terror where they stood. Some screamed out in fear, and some weren't even capable of uttering a sound. Some were scared to the point of crying tears and leaking snot, while some even wet themselves.

'No… I don't want to die… Don't come over here…'

This was a tremendous terror of feeling that one's life was in actual danger. This was completely incomparable to watching a horror movie or a mystical genre movie!

The students that had believed themselves to be brave finally learned what true terror felt like.

When they were no longer part of the audience, and instead became the characters in a mystical genre movie, they actually behaved worse than the killed-off useless characters that they looked down upon.

”Save… save me…” The earlier camera-carrying boy was shaking all over. He had already dropped his camera onto the ground and was blubbering like a child.

His life flashed before his eyes as he recalled various memories. But, he didn't want to die yet!

A boy's figure appeared in front of the blood-red giant demon.

Seigo Harano!

That was right, he was still here!!

The camera-carrying boy had been so afraid that he completely forgot about Seigo's presence.

But, was Seigo capable of dealing with such a demon? This was a fearsome monster that was capable of appearing in broad daylight!

The blood-red demon swung its arm—or what appeared to be its arm—at Seigo.

The Magic-Devouring Dragon got into a fighting pose and responded with his fists.

*Boom!*

There was a giant explosion.
