Two hours have passed since the battle began. My body is heavy with wounds, yet a smile, whose origin I cannot fathom, graces my face. I am in grave danger, death could snatch me at any moment, but still, I smile.
I am the sole survivor of my army, and of the five wolves who fought alongside me, only two remain. Blood covers my face and body, I am drenched in it. My body is riddled with deep wounds, and the other two wolves are in a similar state, barely able to move.
Suddenly, one of them lunges at me with its claws, still bearing remnants of strength. I swiftly dodge its attack,
I raised my sword and whispered, "Iris Strike!"
This strike was mighty. It doesn't cause any direct damage to the monster, but it sends it flying backward. So, when I hit the wolf with this strike, it retreated until it reached its companion. At that moment, I whispered:
"Sky Light!"
The scorching sunlight shone on the two monsters, almost burning their skin, and causing them to sit on the ground in pain.
"Thunder Strike!"
I forcefully thrust the sword into the ground, and electrical charges emerged from the earth, striking the two monsters.
"Shadow Steps!"
The monsters were now in a state of temporary paralysis. Their mouths were open, their fangs exposed, and they were heavily injured. I stood before them, looking into their eyes. I love to look into the eyes of my prey before I kill them. I love to see the fear in their eyes as they know they are about to die. To make them realize that I show no mercy, that they made a mistake when they tried to approach me. And then, I kill them in the most gruesome way possible.
I threw the sword from my hand, placing one hand on the mouth of the first wolf and the other hand on the mouth of the second wolf.
The second one whispered,
"Flame of fire!"
There was some energy inside of me, I used it all.
Fire erupted from my hands, a strong and intense fire that pierced the mouths of the two beasts and went into their guts.
The guts of those wolves are now filled with fire.
And those guts expand...
And expand...
Until their guts exploded and blood splattered everywhere. As I did this, I saw some wolf cubs watching me. I knew that those little wolves were the sons of...
The wolves that I kill now,
But what should I do?
I must keep going.
I grabbed my sword and swiftly headed towards those small wolves, killing them quickly so they wouldn't feel any pain.
I kill everyone—women, adults, children, and men—for the soul is the same for everyone. I am a fair man; I hate discrimination, so I don't differentiate in my killings.
I remember when I was killing a woman, and by mistake,
Her son saw me killing his mother."
He screamed.
I put my hand over his mouth and grabbed my knife simply, and said to him in a violent voice,
"Close your eyes."
He did so without hesitation; he was very scared.
He was very naïve.
And then I whispered,
"Sweet dreams."
I placed the knife on his neck and killed him.
I killed him so he wouldn't tell anyone what I looked like.
I believe in the law of this world:
The strong take everything, so I took this boy's life.
Yes, I am a demon.
But now my body is rotten; I feel pain in every part of it.
I used Athena's sword as something to lean on. If Yama saw me, his face would either shrink from the pain or he would faint from disgust.
But what can I do? I can't move on my own now.
I kept going until I reached a cave nearby.
I entered the cave and slept.
When I woke up, I was thirsty.
I remembered seeing a river on my way here.
I headed towards the river, but I felt a pain in my chest. The same feeling that made me enter that cursed tree,
Enter the prison of demons.
When I felt that, I felt my body wanting to go in a certain direction.
My curiosity led me there. I entered the river and started going deeper and deeper until I reached a point where if I took one more step, I would drown. So, I activated the energy shield. I discovered that this shield produces oxygen. It's really strong and rare.
I went underwater. It was the first time I saw a river this deep! But I felt my body wanting to go down to the bottom, so I did.
My chest started to vibrate. I put my hand on the ground and felt something wooden...
It's a door!
A door!
A door underwater! I opened the door easily. I thought the water pressure would prevent me from doing so, but I felt that there wasn't a single drop of water on the door. After I opened it, I found stairs, and the water couldn't pass through the door as if it was afraid of something.
So I entered, descending quickly to the bottom.
And when I arrived, I was shocked by what I saw.
