Fred POV

(WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING:

-  Violence

-  Cursing)

Two horns, straight lines instead of a circled pupil… Compared to me, he definitely has the appearance of a demon. His aura is also scary. He is definitely the leader or he is being controlled by one of them. It’s weird, he is a demon but he doesn’t look like me. Normally, like how I described him, demons have horns and a straight line pupil instead of a circle, but I have nothing like that. I am definitely like my sensei, which means that I look like a human, if we ignore my mark. This might be the reason why this guy talked to me like that. He might think that I'm just a normal weak human, but let me show him what I got! 

“ATTACK!” Said one of the masked guys. 

Suddenly, they automatically all rushed on me. Aha… It’s not going to be easy… I pulled out my sword on my back and I put myself in position. I was ready, and I was definitely ready for them, because when they were close enough to me, I cut off everyone’s head in one slash. Was it already done? Did I kill them so easily? Suddenly, I heard some weird noises. I then saw the demon getting up, taking his head with his hands and placing it back to his neck. What the… My slash didn’t kill him? If he didn’t die when I cut his head, how can I kill him? Think, think! I didn’t have the time to think, because he started rushing to me with the sword of one of his camarades. Compared to the others, this one was really fast, and his attack was so fast that I didn’t have the time to react, and he chopped my left arm off. So much blood was coming off of it, and the pain was so intense, even more than when my sensei punched me directly in my stomach and the part of my body opened.  

“AAAAAAAAAAAA!” I screamed in pain.

Unfortunately, it’s not because I was in pain that he stopped attacking me, because he again cutted a part of my body. This time, he instead went for my right leg. The hit made me hurt even more. I was in a really, really bad position. Suddenly, when I tried to get up with one leg, I wasn’t even able to move. It’s at this moment that I realized why I wasn’t getting up. Poison. There was a paralyzing poison on the blade. It was over for me. I will die to someone like him this young? Wait… I didn’t use my demon mark. Oh no… Why can’t I activate it!? Time started to go slower and slower when he was about to finish me with his sword. Quick quick! Please, demon mark, please! I don’t care if you take the entire control of my body, but just… IT’S THE TIME TO ACTIVATE! Even if I was praying for my mark to take control of me, the sword was just getting closer to my neck. He definitely wanted to cut my head off, and I wasn’t even able to do anything about it. I had a great life I gu…

“Hey you, get off this little kid!” Someone screamed. 

Suddenly, a shovel hitted the demon directly in his face. The spike of the shovel penetrated directly in his eye. The demon simply removed the shovel with his hand, and a deep wound was clearly visible where the shovel landed. It was super disgusting. Yeah, after all, a lot of blood was coming out of it and this liquid was starting to spread everywhere on the ground. I was even able to see his smashed eyeball rolling further from him. I then looked to my right, directly where my savior was, and guess what… It was again the old man. I guess he’s trying to protect me because I’m Samado’s student… But I think he doesn’t know that I still can’t move and activate my mark because of the poison inside my body… At least, he bought me some time so I can…

The demon quickly reacted and was already in front of the old man.

“NO, DON’T DO THAT!” I screamed.

It was already over. The demon simply punched the old man in his stomach. The punch was so strong that his arm penetrated inside of his intestine. It was too much for me. As my mark didn’t want to activate before, the symbols of my mark were starting to spread everywhere in my body. My arm and my leg regenerated because of my mark that just activated and instead of losing control and losing consciousness, I was able to control my body and I automatically teleported right on the side of the demon, but in reality, I was so fast that he thought I teleported. I benefited from his arm stuck in the body of the old man to slash his head off again and I kicked him in the body. His body flew really far away. I removed the arm that was stuck in the old man, and I crouched right next to him after slowly placing his body on the ground. 

“Why… Why did you sacrifice yourself for me?” I asked the old man, close to death. 

“Be… Because you are the child of… The Prophecy… And dying right now… Will be really disappointed,” He simply said before he was definitely gone from this world. 

I don’t know why… But even if I knew him simply minutes ago, the pain in my heart was so intense, not because I was hit in the heart… But because simply the fact that demons just kill for fun makes me out of control. And it’s at this moment that I linked every information and things my sensei was trying to say to me about this world. It was cruel. It was terrifying. That’s why I want to save this world from all the dangers that exist, like the will that my sensei was trying to give to me. For that, I need to do the same thing as them: Kill.
