9 Episode 9: Need Backup! (1/2)

”Who dares to interrupt me on my meal!?”

Oh boy, the big one is angry. I have no idea what to do this time around. I stay hidden in the bushes without revealing myself. Why the heck would I reveal myself? I am not an idiot!

”You are making this one angry. Show yourself and I will give you a painless death.”

See, if I show myself, death awaits, why would I do that?

The demon stood up, his face no longer resembles his former expression. It was a twisted expression that anyone would never want to see. I am inexperienced in battle against demons. Only one thing to do...

Call for Backup!

While the demon is still trying to find the assailant, I pulled out my phone and quickly opened the chat group. I scrolled around the names and finally, I found Moonlight's name since she is the only one I know at the moment. I quickly typed into the screen while trying to keep my eye from the demon and to the screen of my phone.

”Need backup! I already found the demon and it is trying to find me because I interrupted his meal! This is Kazuma!”

”Got you...”

Hearing that, I quickly punched the demon squarely in the face without any restraint. I didn't activate my flames because it takes a lot of toll to me if I use it without concentration.

PENG!

The demon staggered from the unsuspected punch that I released to his face. He roared in anger since the pain registered to his skin. He never expected someone to fight back instead of cowering in fear.

”F*CK! Tremble in fear!”

”Shut up, demon sh*t!” I shouted before running away from the demon.

”Coward!”

I didn't bother looking back, if I died here, it is pointless for me to be heroic. I activated the flames in my Blazing Shoes and use it to boost my speed in running. Good thing there are no people or else I am wrecked by the magicians. While running, my phone received a voice message. This time, it came from a guy named Voltaire.

”Yo, just hang in there, I will be coming in there soon. So, in the meantime, stall him and don't let him get near on humans, alright? Don't go dying on me, newbie.”

Looks like Moonlight is the one who called this guy named Voltaire but heck, I need to stall this guy? I don't think I can last against this guy! When I punched him earlier in surprise, my fist felt like it punched to a solid wall. I didn't feel any muscle, it was like concrete. Good thing the gloves managed to suck in most of the damage repelled back to me. Since I need to stall this guy until the backup arrives, then I have to make sure that this battle won't appear to the eyes of the public. Chaos and trouble will get brewed up in this area if that was the case. Then, another voice mail arrived.

”If you want the battle to be a secret, put your hands together like you are in a prayer, channel your mana in between your palms and shout ”Mirror World.” That way you can fight without any hindrances.”

Is that so? Maybe that was the barrier used by Moonlight earlier on the rooftop where she didn't even care if anyone below the rooftop noticed the commotion or not. Although I have no idea about how to channel the mana that I don't really know if it existed in my body, I put my hands together and focused. It was a quick feel but when I felt something get triggered from my palm, I quickly shouted the words.
