Chapter 15: I'm a Demon? 4
The moment Aamon appeared charles and others who were battling the beast immediately noticed him
'How did he get here?'
Charles's face turned pale as he could feel that there was something wrong here.
Even though his commissioner said he wasn't interested in coming to this dungeon, he suddenly appeared here
'There must be another reason for this
But what is it?'
Charles couldn't figure out the reason, but looking at the situation in front of him, he quickly guessed something within this dungeon had caught his attention.
According to his status as a rich young master to some guild, he wouldn't pay any attention to most things.
Then, that only meant there was another item hidden in this dungeon
Cassandra also had many thoughts running in his head like what is this huge castle like hall that appeared out of nowhere, and what was that strange star like crystal in Liam's hand
But the appearance of Aamon changed it all
'Something just doesn't add up based on what charles said his the only one that has the map, so how did he catch up to us without breaking a sweat?
Did he not encounter any beasts or traps?'
She was a little shocked and confused at first, but then her heart suddenly sank
'He must have followed us from behind or done something to Charles or us!.'
As a talented mage who had a keen mind, she quickly figured out everything, thinking about it. A shiver went down her spine
'His simple terrifying how did he came up with this plan, it seems this is the reason he didn't show himself until now!"
Aamon's POV
As I opened the doors leading to the boss room
I saw the mercenaries I commissioned were a few less, and also they were struggling against the boss
I looked behind this and saw the person I was looking for Liam.
He was standing in front of the huge hall with his mouth wide open, holding the star shaped crystal in his hand
his gaze soon locked onto the sword on the far end of this hall
"Looks like I came here just in time."
Aamon said with a playful expression as he slowly walked in from the entrance his gaze locked on to Liam that soon dashed into the great hall, leaving behind the party
'As expected, he went for it
but he doesn't know that there are tons of tests and obstacles in his way
before he reaches the sword, but then again, the key his carrying will help him a lot.
It doesn't matter. I'll deal with this group before dealing with him.'
Behind Aamon, 2 people walked in respectfully
On his left was a man
He was wearing black pants and boots with small armor parts covering his knees and shoulders
a red shirt buttoned to his chest line with a grey jacket over it and a necklace hanging on his neck
The boy had red hair similar to blood and green eyes that were pulsing with vitality his body was very well built with firm muscles. Like a seasoned warrior
He had a huge two-handed sword on his back, too, its length was more than 1.7 meters long and a straight blade he was wearing gloves that covered his fists with a golden thorn like metal that had sharp ends ready to shred any armor
On the right side of Aamon was a girl with a pair of very beautiful Hazel eyes and long black hair tied into a ponytail falling on her back
She was wearing a tight black outfit like ninjas and 4 small daggers on her belt tucked into her tight and a black scythe on her back. She looked like a goddess of death.
she also wore a mask hiding half of her delicate but beautiful face, giving her a cold aura.
I looked at the mage,dodging the Salamander's tale whip her eyes burning with hatred the same as the party leader charles
Without realizing a playful smile got plastered on my face
"Seems like you already figured everything out. Tell me, charles, the map I gave you was it useful or not?"
When charles heard this, he was gritting his teeth so hard that it was making cracking sound
Indeed, the mercenary guild used the map provided by Aamon to raid this dungeon
John wasn't better too, his eyes became bloodshot, and he shouted
"Bastard!!"
And dashed towards Aamon
When suddenly the red-haired man beside him threw a punch covered with mana at him, with an annoyed expression
Doof!! Bang!
John protected his body at the last moment using his sword
but the great force behind the punch made him fly like a broken doll across the room, hitting the wall behind and passing out
Tud!
"John!!!"
Charles shouted
Never in his life did charles imagine he would hate someone this much if he was given the chance he would kill Aamon, drink his blood, and grind his bones to dust
In extreme rage, he turned around, not tanking the Salamander's attack, and ran towards Aamon and his followers
In the meantime, he used his Taunt skill and drew the Salamander's aggro
Aamon, seeing this his expression didn't change, he said
"Tristan takes care of Charles, the leader with heavy armor, and that assassin
Carmilla, you take care of the healers and that mage. I'll join you guys soon
"That's easy, boss. I'll control myself to not kill them
"It will be done, young master,"
Then, both of them ran towards their targets
As soon as Aamon said this, charles rolled to a side, leading the Salamander towards Aamon
Boom!!
Suddenly, the two followers behind him revealed their aura. 2 E Rank awakened
One of them ran toward charles and josh and other running towards Cassandra and healers
"Take this big guy!!"
The boy with red hair shouted before jumping high and throwing a right punch coated with mana at Charles's huge shield
Doof!! Bang!!
Charles fell back a couple of steps from the force of that punch, his left hand trembling from the aftermath
On the other side, Cassandra had multiple buffs and a glowing white dome like shield surrounding her and the healers behind her
was quickly chanting a spell to protect herself
Bang!bang!bang!
The sound of banging began
the girl in front of her was using the black scythe to attack, and it was very effective
Cassandra's mana being consumed at a terrifying rate just to support the shield around her was the best proof
At the same time, while concentrating hard on defense, she saw Aamon
However, for some reason, she felt the Salamander's aura got quickly weakened
she even vaguely felt the wisps of Demonic energy that got rapidly sucked away from the salamander and disappearing somewhere
By the time Salamander got close to Aamon, it had become so weak that he was barely able to stand
Aamon took out a long sword from his storage ring that had a silvery glint to it
Giving off a very dangerous feeling
Aamon dashed toward Salamander
Hissss!!!!
The monster hissed very loudly, but all of his strength was gone he barely used his front claw to attack
Aamon effortlessly dodged the attack and
Slash!!
Splash!!
The silver sword easily cut the hard scales of the salamander like a butter, and a deep wound appeared on its neck vaguely. Even bones could be seen
A huge amount of blood was coming out of its neck
Hisss!!
A loud hissing sound was heard probably from the pain it was feeling, but the next moment, Aamon was behind this huge monster
Aamon cut its hind legs tendons easily with a slash
Tud!! Bang!
The huge body of the Salamander lost its balance and fell on the ground, making a loud noise
The bleeding on its neck has already dyed the floor beneath the Salamander red. His body didn't have any strength left from all that fighting with charles and his group
but despite all this, the monster wasn't giving up it was still trying to get up when suddenly
Aamon dashed toward its head and
Shunk!!
The silver sword pierced the salamander's skull
Tud!!
His huge head fell limp on the ground
Looking at such skills, Cassandra couldn't help but feel terrified.
She felt an invisible force slowly clenching his heart tightly. A cold sweat formed on her back
Bang!! Crack!
When suddenly a loud sound came, Cassandra saw charles holding a cracked shield with both his hands kneeling on the ground while coughing up blood
While the red-haired young man was standing with a bright smile
Slice!
A quick silver dagger suddenly appeared and cut a shallow wound on his forearm
Josh finally striked!
But It didn't stop a series of quick attacks soon followed. Many shallow cuts appeared on the young man's body he was holding his hands in an X shaped manner, protecting himself
Finally, a spark of hope appeared in Cassandra's eyes
'We can do this. I just need to hold on long enough and protect everyone. i can do this!'
She was gritting her perfect white teeth when a trail of blood came down from her nose, dashing her hopes to pieces
'My mana..is running out'
Cassandra saw the green eyes of the red-haired man glowing with a weird light
She had a very bad feeling about this
Tristan focused hard, his eyes turned cold, finally locked onto something, and
Catch!
He grabbed Josh's leg right when he was about to hit him on his temple in mid-air
"Got you, little bastard!.'
Josh panicked he tried to get his feet free, but all of it was for naught when he saw a punch covered with mana coming at his chest
he quickly put his arms like X in front of his chest while channeling all his mana to his hands for protection
Doof!!
Crack!!
The sound of ground cracking and bones mixed together forming a small cloud of dust
when dust settled down, everyone saw Josh
The punch hit him so hard that his hands got crushed they were barely hanging on his skin
his chest caved in, some of his chest bones penetrated his lungs and skin sticking out of his chest
The ground beneath him was cracked, slowly filling with blood
"You were dead the moment you injured me."
Josh couldn't even scream when another punch landed at his head, popping his head like a watermelon
Cassandra screamed
"Noooo!!!"
Charles's eyes became bloodshot he was crying tears of blood
seeing one of his comrades die in front of him, he got consumed by rage he pounced on Tristan attacking with all he got
Crack!
The white dome like shield that covered Cassandra and healers finally broke at this moment
Carmilla didn't attack Cassandra. Instead, she went straight for the healers behind Cassandra's body.
She suddenly got covered by shadows and disappeared
Only to reappear behind Miranda's shadow, but when her scythe struck, it was Aslan that got his heart pierced by it
Shunk!
Spurt!!
"I'm sorry, Mira....."
Aslan barely uttered these words right before his head got cut off
Tud!
His head rolled and fell right in front of Miranda
Carmilla struck at the dazed healer that was shocked and couldn't move
Clank!!
His scythe struck a sword that John was holding. His dominant arm was broken(right arm). John was barely able to hold the sword with his left hand
Huff!! Huff!!
He was breathing roughly, and his back was bleeding
"Miranda heal me fast!!"
John shouted, but to his surprise, no healing was cast
unfortunately, Miranda's state of mind was in complete chaos she was frozen in place, holding Aslan's head in her embrace while crying
Cassandra was even worse off she was kneeling on the ground, coughing up blood
She couldn't even move a muscle her body was suffering a backlash from using all of her mana
John's heart sank he had Miranda in his calculations he thought she would heal his broken arm, but obviously, she failed miserably
John used the last bit of strength he had to parry the scythe that was closing in on his chest
Clank!!
Huff! Huff!
His body was hurting all over, but even with all this, he was standing,just barely
John looked at Cassandra, kneeling on the ground, barely breathing
he bit his lips out of frustration and powerlessness,then he looked at Carmilla
Carmilla knew that John was on his last rope, so she dashed at him
Clank!! Clank! Clank! Slice!
John parried some of his attacks, but in the end, he also failed to hold back Carmilla. A deep wound appeared on its chest
John fell on his knee he couldn't hold himself up anymore his rib cage was cracked from the previous punch, and now he was finished
Carmilla slowly walked towards him her shoes echoed at each step like a death bell in Cassandra's ears she was going to lose John too
Tears started coming out of her beautiful eyes. The sadness she felt was immense she never showed it, but she was also in love with John, although she always rejected him
Her voice trembled at the thought of losing him too
"Jo-hn pl-please get u-up you haven't f-fulfilled your promise. Sniff* please
G-get up I don't w-wanna lose you sniff*"
She couldn't take her eyes off of him. Carmilla had already raised her scythe, ready to strike
John raised his head and smiled at Cassandra
"So you loved me too, Cas. I'm sorry, but I'll be going first,"
Carmilla's scythe struck
Slice!
Spurt!!
Tud!
John's head got cut off while Cassandra froze in place, her eyes locked into John's body that fell lifeless on the ground
Carmilla was slowly walking towards Miranda, who was still crying over Aslan's head
Slice!! Tud!
With another slash, she put him out of her misery.
Then she proceeded to walk toward Cassandra again that was mumbling something inaudible suddenly
"You!!!!! Bitch!!!!"
She shouted very loudly, making a vain pop on Carmilla's head
Swoosh!! Swoosh!!
But the next moment, all the surrounding mana got sucked by her in a terrifying rate
strong gales of wind appeared out of nowhere and began surrounding her body
'She's going to self destruct this is bad. I need to kill her before that!"
Carmilla dashed towards Cassandra that was sitting on the ground with strong winds surrounding her
But winds knocked her back every time she tried to get close, even a few cuts appeared on her body
Cassandra was crying and, at the same time, wiping her tears while saying
"No! No! This is all a dream I need to wake up! John didn't die! No!"
Suddenly, she felt a warm hand on her delicate chin and another on her head
She raised her head and saw Aamon holding her head.
She felt these pair of hands can wake her up out of this painful reality she was having
slowly she closed off her eyes while tears came down from her eyes like a torrent making the warm hand under her chin feel wet
Crack! Tud!
Aamon broke her neck easily and ended her suffering
the winds surrounding her didn't have an effect on him a Blue light was surrounding his body and protecting him it was the invisible armor
Then the winds settled down and the only sound was the sound of charles and Tristan fighting that soon ended with charles kneeling on the ground out of breath
His armor was shattered, his leg was broken, and his right hand was hanging on a piece of skin
his body had many bruises and several deep cuts
"Ooh, put some ice on that big guy!"
Tristan stood above him, looking at the once proud leader of this party,that swore to protect everyone
Tristan took out the huge sword from his back and cut off Charles's head that lost its mind long ago when Josh died
Once again, silence fell on this room
But now it was filled with bodies and puddles of blood everywhere and tears of anguish and sadness
Aamon turned towards the great hall
'It should be the time'
"Tristan, Carmilla, guard this room and don't let anyone come inside if anyone came, just kill them."
Tristan and Carmilla answered at the same time
"Yes!"
Then Aamon walked into the great hall with a smile on his face.
Finally, it was time to claim his prize
