THANK—
CLANK—
TING—
THUNK—
Raye and dina's exchange continued for a long ti.
dina attacked relentlessly...
CLANK—
But Raye just kept on parrying and blocking every of his blow!
-'This fucker...!'
Then, in sheer annoyance...
SWOOSH—
dina swung his right fist wide, packing a trendous amount of power behind it!
And seeing that...
'Now!'
Raye exclaid that in his head!
Fwip—
He crouched swiftly to avoid dina's swing!
Then from that position...
Swish—
Raye slashed upward with [Nyx]!
SLASH—
And he opened a deep cut across dina's chest!
-Ugh...?!
dina groaned in pain.
But just a second later...
Swiip—
The wound sealed itself shut without even spilling a blood!
'This guy's regeneration ability is absurd.'
Raye thought with a frown.
Bam—
And then he leapt back, creating distance between himself and dina!
-Haha, scared now?
dina taunted arrogantly.
Tap—
Raye landed gracefully on the ground.
And looking at dina...
"Yeah, your face is scary as fuck."
He casually replied to him!
-Your tongue is sharper than your swords, huh?
dina snarled, you can tell he's really pissed off now.
Anyway...
"..."
Raye didn't reply to him.
'I should shut him up now.'
He thought.
Then, opening his mouth...
"[Flash]"
Raye muttered that!
-What did you say?
And before dina even realized it...
Fwish—
Raye was already in front of him!
SLASH—
And his left hand flew off his arm!
-GURGH...?!
dina's eyes widened in agony as he groaned!
He didn't see what happened!
But in response...
-GRAAAAAAHHH!!!
SWOOSH—
He aid a crushing blow at Raye's head with his remaining fist!
Raye saw his attack.
And calmly...
'He's got power, but no technique.'
He assessed.
"[Wind Blast]"
Then he suddenly muttered!
SWOOSH— BAM!
-ARGH!!
A powerful surge of condensed wind made of mana hit dina square in the stomach, launching him backward!
Thud—
The massive demon worshipper crashed onto the ground!
And without missing a beat...
Bam—
Raye stepped on his chest and pressed [Nyx] against dina's neck!
"..."
His cold gaze bore into the demon worshipper.
-Ugh...!
dina groaned with a defeated expression on his face.
And seeing this scene...
"Whoa!"
"Big brother did it!"
"He beat the ugly bad guy!"
The children cheered in excitent!
"Phew..."
"Thank God!"
"We're safe!"
And the caretakers sighed in relief!
-'Why can't I hit him?'
dina seethed silently, frustrated.
His left hand was already regenerating. So he was plotting his next attack!
Though...
"I'm not giving you ti to recover, idiot."
Raye already knew of his plan!
Swip—
He raised [Nyx]!
And without hesitation...
SWISH—
He slashed down!
But just then...
-That's enough, don't break the toy that I just acquired.
The demon suddenly appeared in front of Raye!
"?!"
And before Raye could even react...
PHUCK—!
The demon's claw pierced through his stomach!
"Gurgh...!"
Raye coughed up blood.
"W-what?"
He gasped in shock.
SWISH—
The demon swung his hand, flinging Raye away!
BAM— THUD—
Raye slamd into a tree and collapsed onto the ground!
And looking at his bloodied body...
-It was fun... at least for a mont.
The demon mused coldly!
"NOOOOO!!!"
"BIG BROTHER!!!"
The children wailed in terror seeing that.
"Oh no..."
"No!"
"We're dood..."
And the caretakers despaired with them!
'Please... soone help us...'
Sister Irish silently prayed with her eyes tightly closed...
Anyway...
-M-Master!
dina called desperately to the demon.
-...
The demon just ignored him.
-Y-you're standing on , Master...
dina mumbled.
-...
The demon finally turned and, with an impassive face...
BAM—!
He stomped at dina's chest!
-URGH...!
The demon worshipper gasped in pain!
-You're weak. Train when we return to the castle.
The demon commanded before stepping off.
-Y-yes, Master...
Then dina stuttered as he slowly stood up...
His left hand had fully regenerated now.
-Mhm.
The demon nodded seeing that.
Then, glancing at the orphanage...
-Let's visit that beautiful purple-haired girl that you saw—the one you said fit to be my wife.
He declared that!
-The rest inside... kill them all.
The demon instructed!
And hearing his command...
-G-got it!
dina cried in excitent!
*****
(Raye's POV)
-Let's visit that beautiful purple-haired girl that you saw—the one you said fit to be my wife.
I heard the demon say that.
'He's talking about Jerusha.'
I imdiately concluded in my head.
Anyway...
My stomach hurts.
Not from hunger...
But because of the hole in it.
My vision... It's getting blurry.
"Haaaa... haaaa... Haaaa..."
My breathing is rough now too and ragged.
I can't think straight anymore...
'Am I going to die?'
The thought crossed my mind.
'That sucks.'
I admitted bitterly.
Then mories flooded in—everything since I arrived in this world.
"..."
At first, I was frustrated, annoyed, and of course terrified.
Why wouldn't I be?
I got transmigrated to a completely different world, surrounded by people who hated ...
I was forced to deal with sses that I didn't even cause...
And no one was on my side...
But now, after spending so ti here...
'It's not that bad, actually.'
I t Old Man Rey and the others.
I beca friends with the characters that I'd only seen on a screen.
There's Zephyrus and Pyro too.
And I even fulfilled one of a man's greatest dreams...
'I learned magic.'
"..."
A weak smile crept onto my face at the mory.
But then...
-The rest inside... kill them all.
The demon's cold voice snapped back to reality.
"..."
I forced my head up.
And there they were—the demon and that deford bastard...
Tap- tap- tap—
Tap- tap- tap—
They're walking toward the orphanage.
'The kids...'
They were crying...
Sister Irish and the other caretakers aren't any better either...
'Jerusha would've been able to protect them if she was here instead of ...' Enjoy more content from empire
I thought with a frown.
"..."
Then...
"God... I'm so pathetic..."
I muttered bitterly.
Annoyed with myself...
"Urgh...!"
I groaned.
I forced my body to move, to stand!
'What am I thinking, no one here can fight except ...!'
I exclaid in my head!
So if I'm going to die anyway...
'I'll at least buy them more ti—seconds, milliseconds, anything...!'
At least...
"At least until Jerusha arrives..."
