Somewhere in a love hotel.
Nobuyuki Sugou poured a glass of water, picked up a pill, and swallowed it in one gulp. He waited.
Three seconds...
Then, five seconds.....
Then, Ten seconds....
But his body… still shows no sign of movement or reaction.
"…What's wrong with you, Sugou?"
After changing into her nightwear, Akane Minagawa asked suspiciously, her tone already carrying impatience.
"W-wait a minute! Give me a moment!"
Sugou said awkwardly. His right hand kept slapping his thigh as if trying to "wake" something up.
But there was still no response.
…Shouldn't it be like this?
Didn't the internet say that after eating one, you could immediately regain the "heroism of a man"?
Could it be—
They sold him fake medicine?
Thinking of this, Sugou got annoyed.
He immediately took out his phone, ready to write a furious one-star review with a hundred lines of insults, including "refund," "fraud," and "your product made me lose my dignity."
However, what he didn't know was—This medicine was not fake.
It was real! Genuine!
The problem was not the medicine.
The problem… was him.
Akane Minagawa watched Sugou still tapping his phone like an idiot.
Her eyes narrowed.
Then she cast him a contemptuous look and walked to the window.
"Seriously… why did I even come to find a useless guy this late at night?"
She muttered. With an annoyed sigh, she reached out and pulled open the curtains.
The city's lights glittered outside.
Tokyo's night was bright and lively—
As if nothing had happened.
But just as she was about to turn away—
A black shadow suddenly shot down from the sky like a bullet.
"…Eh?"
Akane's pupils shrank, a chill ran through her body.
The next second—
CRASH!!
The glass shattered instantly.
STAB!
The black shadow pierced straight through her chest.
"Ah… ah…"
Akane Minagawa's eyes widened.
Her body froze.
A huge hole appeared in her chest—warm blood sprayed across the floor and window frame.
She trembled.
Her lips moved as if trying to scream for help—But only air came out.
"…There's a reaction! There's a reaction!"
Sugou shouted in surprise. He was still on the bed, excitedly punching his thigh.
Then he looked toward the window.
"…Huh?"
He saw Akane Minagawa.
Vomiting blood. A gaping hole in her chest as warm dark blood began to ran down her nightwear. Her body trembling as she struggled to stay upright, bending slightly as she pressed both her hand on the hole on her chest.
Her back facing the person behind her—she wasn't wearing any underwear—she heart shape behind was fully visible.
Too bad—the person wasn't able to appreciate it.
Sugou's face instantly turned pale.
"WHAT!!!"
He screamed, fell off the bed, and hit the floor with a loud thud.
Hearing the loud noice, Akane turned, facing the person as she was finally able to utter the words, with difficulties.
"H-hel..p m..e…"
Akane Minagawa stretched out her hand, hoarse and trembling. She staggered forward—blood flowing slowly put of the hole, her eyes get blury as it lose it's life. Her mouth getting filled with blood as the plea of help get turn into something unrecognizable.
"Gah… ga…"
In the room, the black shadow finally revealed its true form.
It was a crow.
No—
A crow possessed by a demon. It'ss eyes were pitch-black, filled with greed for blood, for life! It let out a piercing cry.
"QUAAACK!!!"
Its whole body was entangled with Akane Minagawa's intestines, her blood, making a horror like appearance.
As if it had been starving for days—it began eating them raw.
Blood splattered.
The sound of tearing flesh echoed in the room, as the crow used it's leg to keep the parts in place before eating them with it's beak.
"…NO… NO… HELP!"
Sugou's pants were already soaked, a disgusting smell filling the room.
He was so scared he peed himself.
He crawled backward, his legs splashing the liquid that had falled to the floor—dirtying the floor— He was crying and shaking, then suddenly as if getting some kind of courage he stood up and rushed toward the door.
He didn't care about Akane.
He didn't care about anything.
He just wanted to escape.
But—
He wanted to run.
Akane Minagawa… didn't.
She fell to the floor, dragging herself forward with every amount of her last strength she had.
Then she grabbed Sugou's heel, with her blood covered hands. She didn't care that she is going to lose more blood by doing this.
Sugou's body froze.
His face twisted in panic.
He turned around and began kicking her face crazily with his other foot, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"LET GO!! LET GO!! YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD! WHY ARE YOU GRABBING ME!?"
BANG!
He kicked again, kicking her beautiful face that look pitiful, with blood dripping from her mouth, eyes losing its usual light.
She look really pitiful... But—
He didn't stop.
BANG!
He kicked her again.
BANG!
And again. Destroying the earlier beautiful face.
BANG!
In the past—
Akane Minagawa would have screamed.
She would have slapped him.
She would have cursed him.
But now…
Her eyes were already empty.
Lifeless.
After more than ten seconds of frantic kicking, Sugou finally realized—
This woman was probably dead.....
He squatted down tremblingly and tried to pry her fingers off his leg.
"…Let go… let go…"
At that moment—
"QUACK."
The crow had finished eating the delicious intestines of Akane.
It stood behind Sugou, tilting its head as it look at it's prey.
Sugou's body stiffened.
His face turned pale white from fright.
He slowly turned around, forcing a miserable smile.
"…Heh…"
One minute later—
Sugou also lost all vitality.
The crow flapped its wings and flew into the night.
Its destination was clear.
The same place where all demons were gathering.
The Orthodox Church.
To enjoy the feast!
...
Orthodox Church,
The barrier outside the church had already been shattered.
A tide of demons poured in.
The demons crawling along the walls like insects.
Humanoid demons jumped through broken windows—The smell of blood, rot, and malice filled the air. As the demon feast on the Human flesh.
Inside, the exorcists fought back with holy water and prepared charms.
"Hold the line!"
"Don't let them reach the inner hall!"
"Seal the entrance!"
An exorcist swung a talisman and burned a ghoul's face.
The demon screamed and rolled backward in pain.
But in the next second—
Another lunged from the side.
"…What!?"
The exorcist didn't react in time.
He was bitten. Hard.
The Demon clamped down on his shoulder and dragged him back. The Exorcist screamed in pain as he was pulled back—His helpless eyes gaze at his friends, as they continue to fend off the demons trying to break in, tears could be seen in their eyes. He didn't blamed them as he forced out a weak, helpless smile— "Sorry."
More than a dozen Demon rushed forward like hungry dogs.
In just a few seconds—
The exorcist's screams stopped.
Only bones remained.
"!!!"
The exorcists who were still alive trembled with rage.
Those companions were family.
Now they were being torn apart and eaten alive.
"You bloody demons! DIE FOR ME!!"
"If you've got the ability, kill me too!"
"COME ON!!"
The exorcists counterattacked regardless of injuries.
Even if their hands broke.
Even if their legs snapped.
Even if their ribs were exposed—
They still rushed forward.
Human's just like Demon's were a monster, were a wild beast as they too bite off the demons. Weapon in hand as the continue to fight—Demons tearing Human flesh with its claw, teeth, while the Human turned it's head into mush with it's weapon and If the weapon broke or lose it's power they would used their own body, their teeth to kill the Demons.
No matter how desperate they look or how weak they were compare to the demon.
They wanted to exchange their lives for one more demon.
Blood splashed.
The area burned, the sacred place of worship become a battlefield as the blood of Human's paint the wall and floor.
Screams echoed—Human's and Demon's alike.
Rin Okumura, who was hiding behind, was trembling, looking blankly at the bloody battles of the peoples who had seen him growing up since childhood, the blood in his whole body seemed to be freezing.
The people who had taken care of him—The ones who teased him. The ones who scolded him.
The ones who had fed him—
They were now dying in front of him.
'.....Is this all because of me?'
Rin thought.
Before the demons attacked, Fujimoto Shiro had finally told him the truth.
Rin Okumura was not an ordinary human.
He was—
The illegitimate son of Satan, Ruler of Gehenna. The King of Demon!
At the same time, Yukio Okumura who was his brother was also the Son of Satan. But Yukio had not inherited Satan's power—He was just an "ordinary human."
This mass emergence of demons…Was Satan's masterpiece. He wanted to bring his son back to Gehenna.
"…No...please...no..I don't want that!"
Rin clenched his fists. As he saw a humanoid demon grab one of the exorcists. The demon's hand squeezed—
Crack.
The man's head was crushed like a fruit.
Rin's breath stopped.
His pupils shrank to pinpoints. The world around him seemed to go silent. His heartbeat became unbearably loud.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"I said… STOP IT!!!"
A mournful roar exploded from Rin's throat.
In the next instant—
Blue flames erupted across Rin Okumura's body.
They lit up the dark church like a blazing sun.
The entire battlefield froze.
Demons stopped moving. No—they were trembling!
Even the air itself seemed to kneel.
Several humanoid mid-level demons fell to one knee.
Their expressions were solemn. Their voices echoed together like a ritual.
"Welcome home, Young Master!"
"Welcome home, Young Master!"
"Welcome home, Young Master!"
"Welcome home, Young Master!"
Rin Okumura's face twisted, as he heard them,
"Fuck you, young master!"
He jumped forward and punched the demon who had just spoken.
His fist was wrapped in blue flame.
The demon screamed as its body ignited.
In just seconds—It burned into ash.
"Young Master… it seems you still haven't realized."
Among the demons, a goat-horned demon stood up.
A terrifying grin spread across its face.
"It seems you still haven't realized you are a being of Gehenna."
Surely Lord Satan wouldn't blame him for beating up the rebellious young master?
The Demon said to himself as he walked towards the poor child. Rin's eyes were blazing.
He was about to spit out trash talk—
But—
A clawed demon suddenly slapped him away.
Bang!
Rin crashed into a broken bench.
"UGH!!"
The blue flames flickered violently.
The demons didn't attack all at once.
They weren't here to kill him.
They were here—
To take him.
