Level Up Legacy Chapter 1094 Rumbling

Chapter 1094 Rumbling

As the twin horns pierced through his flesh, Freud tried to break free at any cost. However, the demon managed to run him into a giant tree, letting its horns dig deeper into his chest. Freud coughed up blood as he began deflating again.

"A demon is strong, but how long can you last before descending into madness?" asked Freud with a b.l.o.o.d.y grin as he looked the minotaur in the eyes. "A minotaur appeared in this tower thirty years ago and destroyed countless cities. It killed the men and raped the women. The one to defeat it was my brother, Marshal Stormblade, before seizing everything it had, including its loathsome creature of a son."

"Grrrr…" the demon growled as it began staggering back, seemingly disturbed. The horns released their victim as he fell to the ground, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Your human memories are still your greatest weakness, Ramiel," said Freud as his wounds began to close using his muscles. His deflation came to a stop as the demon glared at him, furious. "I said nothing but the truth, which you tried to hide so much. The reason that you cared for Luna Stormblade was that both of you were prisoners of the same person."

As the minotaur began howling in rage, his earlier decisiveness was gone. Freud took this chance to unleash his muscles once again, focusing them all on his right arm.

"Go far away from here and stop hindering my plans, demon," said Freud as he retracted his hand and punched out. s.p.a.ce was compressed, resulting in an explosion that shook the very forest. The minotaur was sent flying as a result, slamming into countless trees before disappearing from sight.

Freud's muscles evaporated as he shrunk back to normal. As he turned around, he saw the three figures running in the distance. All it took for him was a single step to appear before them.

The three were surprised to see him, but they did not stop. Elinor shot her arrows as Haldor rushed toward him with his twin short swords. However, a single slap broke the two swords and knocked the arrows away. Haldor was sent flying, his arms bending into his body as he screamed.

"The only reason that I am going to spare you is that I don't have the time to kill you back to level zero," said Freud with disinterest as he kicked Elinor away, sending her flying. "I also have very little time before that demon comes back."

"Elinor! Haldor!" screamed Luna with panic as she turned toward them, only to turn back and find Freud standing over. It was the first time she saw him without a mask, which made her realize her only chance of succeeding was to use her skill. "Guh!"

Before Luna could take off her mask, Freud grabbed her head with his giant hand, gluing the mask to her face. His grin was wide as he raised her in the air like a helpless chicken, struggling to break free.

"You hurried to use that skill of yours, which you vowed never to use, just to survive," said the hunter with a satisfied grin, as if he was proven right. "Rather than feigning chast.i.ty, you have chosen to become a wh.o.r.e just to survive!"

"You are bold to a.s.sume that I wouldn't ask you to die after using the skill," said Luna Stormblade as she glared at him with unwavering azure eyes. "Even if I were a wh.o.r.e, I would never give my body to pigs."

"Ah, even in such moments, you are still as strong as your mother," said Freud with a grin, taking out an item from his pouch and restraining her with some sort of elastic metal. "Your mother would have been proud since you finally had some use!"

"Puh!" spat Luna at him, making the hunter enraged as he raised his hand to slap her. However, he remembered how valuable her blood was, and he decided to restrain his anger. A cry came from the distance, full of rage and defiance.

"We better get going before that demon comes back," said Freud with a grin as he threw her over his shoulder and began running. As he ran toward the island above the clouds, he looked at the mooning. "What a perfect moon for an offering!"

In the half-destroyed forest, a demon rose from the countless trees that its body demolished. The rage in its eyes could not be contained as he issued a heaven-shaking scream, full of wrath. As it looked around the forest, it realized that it was all alone now.

As the red eyes stared at the scene of destruction, blood tears leaked from them. Then, the minotaur slammed the ground, unleas.h.i.+ng an otherworldly cry that showed how its soul was tearing apart.

Atop the hill far away, the pair who orchestrated this entire event stood there watching with a frown. Then, Seref was the one to open his mouth, breathing out disappointment. "Our plan failed…"

"I do not understand," said the Bookkeeper with confusion. "This is how the plot should go! The demon would fight the hunters until the maiden escapes! Then, it would perish, its life ending without even being human!"

lightsnοvεl.cοm "Sometimes the plot fails because of the G.o.ds," said Seref with a frown as he jumped from the boulder. "We need to think of a way to stop the Moon Offering no matter what it takes. My child is still not ready to defeat a true G.o.d."

"The things that you do for him!" said the spirit as it turned around as well. "I cannot believe I doc.u.mented his story only for him to be disturbed by a few words! What a disappointing side-character he has been, Seref!"

"How could I have known that he would fail even after becoming a true demon of destruction?" asked Seref with annoyance now that his plans have failed. "All we could do now is leave and chase after…"

Before the pair could make it far away, thunder rumbled in the sky. The deafening sound made everything else disappear, as their ears could hear nothing but the rumbling. The pair paused, their necks craning toward the sky.

Dark clouds gathered atop the entire second floor, blocking the moonlight and letting darkness engulf the world. Seref and the Bookkeeper could not understand what was happening because a strange presence appeared in the sky.

Then, the rumbling grew louder, each thunder striking into their hearts. The unnatural event made the Bookkeeper frantic as he searched through his books to understand what was happening, but he failed to find anything.

"Seref! Whatever is happening has no origin in any story!" shouted the spirit with utter panic as Seref stared at the sky with a frown. Then, his brows loosened as his eyes widened with understanding. "Do you know something about this?" asked the Bookkeeper as it saw his expression.

"There is one person who could not be traced and has no records in this world," muttered Seref with trembling lips. "His presence has been awaited and noticed due to the gap he left in history. A man that not even nameless, with his omnipresence, could antic.i.p.ate."

"Are you telling me that… the Demon King has awakened?" muttered the Bookkeeper with widening eyes as it looked at the sky again. "This is the one true story that I have been pursuing, and it has begun..."

The sky rumbled again, louder than any sound in the world, as a pillar of black shot toward the ground. It struck the center of the forest, bending every tree with its absolute might. The light destroyed all elements and returned them to their origin.

Boom!

An explosion echoed in every direction as the black pillar disappeared. A man appeared from within the pillar, and the two rushed over to witness his appearance.

A tall figure with nothing covering his upper body and chiseled muscles painted his heroic aura. His face was somber with a hint of sadness as his lips pressed together while staring at the giant demon that has been howling to the sky. The moment the pair saw his eyes, they recognized his ident.i.ty despite his unusually long hair and short beard.

"I heard your cries," muttered the man, his voice filled with compa.s.sion and sadness. "The wrath in them summoned me here, because you are the last voice that I needed to save before my awakening. Your life has been nothing but suffering, Ramiel."

Although his voice was strong and a little hoa.r.s.e, it was filled with sympathy and understanding. The demon raised its head, the howling stopping at last. Then, it looked at the figure with nothing but respect.

"I believe you recognize me," said the man with golden eyes as he raised his hand toward the demon. "You have awaited me your entire life, Ramiel. You have never accepted the fate that you have been given, but you could not embrace being called a demon because of your father."

As soon as it heard the mention of its father, the demon began growling again, its wrath returning. The two giant hunts dug into the soil, but they made no attempt to attack the one talking to him.

"Although I have seen wrath as a curse before, I changed my mind now," said the man as he stared into his palm. "It allowed me to communicate with the unfortunate suffering souls throughout creation. This is the reason I am here, Ramiel. Accept me as your king, and I shall carry your wrath on my back."
