"What was that?" Anon inquired, glancing at Ion.
"It's called Auric Energy. It's an unknown energy; no one knows its origin, but it's passed down to those who learn this technique. I've passed it down to you, and now my work here is complete. I wish I could have taught you how to use it, but it seems my ti is over," Ion explained, smiling at Anon.
"Wait, what are you saying? It's only the 5th day; you still have two more days left, right?" Anon asked, his face filled with confusion.
"Hahah... Cough-Cough-Cough It's not the 5th day anymore, kid. Cough-Cough-Cough It's the evening of the seventh day... Cough-Cough-Cough I've been slapping you for the last two days, kid," Ion revealed, coughing heavily as black veins began appearing all over his body.
Anon was left in shock by this news.
'What? I've been passed out for 2 days? It only felt like 5 minutes in my mind...'
Cough-Cough-Cough
Suddenly, Anon noticed that Ion's condition was deteriorating rapidly. His skin had turned dark blue, and black veins covered his body.
"Oi, old man... are you alright? Is there anything I can do to help you?" Anon asked, rising to his feet.
"Y-Yes... Get ready to fight. Once Cough-Cough-Cough.... It will not be hard to fight him here." Ion began coughing, and black blood spewed from his mouth.
"He's turning into a demon, just like the healer said. Should I kill him right now?" Anon pondered, carefully assessing Ion and preparing himself to act.
"Kid, once I turn into a demon, try to use your Auric Energy. It will take shape according to your will and it works freely from the effects of the Null Area. Cough-Cough-Cough and say goodbye to my son and granddaughter, One more thing...*Cough-Cough-Cough* Once I turn into a demon, kill brutally. Gwahhhhhh," Ion said, his eyes turning dark red, and his body doubling in size. He growled before completely losing control over his body.
Anon could tell that Ion had gone rogue, and the demon was now in full control. He imdiately assud a defensive stance and was ready to kill him at any mont now.
"Hello, human," Ion spoke in a deep and eerie voice, a sinister smile on his face.
'What ? An intelligent Demon ?' Anon wondered as he looked at the demon.
"Who the hell are you?" Anon asked, his expression confused.
"I am a cute little demon from a very beautiful place that you humans commonly call Hell, I don't know why you get scared of that place though." the demon inside Ion's body replied.
"What do you want?" Anon inquired with a curious expression.
"Nothing much. I was called here when one of my friends left his life force in this old elf's heart, creating a small opening for to escape from Hell. I began releasing my dark energy into his heart seven days ago. He put up quite a fight; there was sothing inside his body resisting . Whenever I tried to release my energy at a higher level, it fought back, trying to expel . Two days ago, this unknown energy left his body, and that's when I boosted my dark energy release, fully taking over him.
You see I am 'A demon in the flesh.' "
"My question remains the sa: What the fuck do you want?" Anon said, maintaining a stern expression.
"I have consud his soul already and I can go back to hell with only his soul but you see, we demons are very greedy.... no matter how much you feed us, we just can't get enough of souls.
That's why, I am going to take your soul with . So, you have two options... First, you commit suicide and give your soul Willingly. Second, I will kill you very brutally and then take it.
So, which one you choose ?" The demon asked.
"Hehehe... you seem to have misunderstood sothing. You see, I'm not the one who chooses; I'm the one who gives options. So, you can go back to hell now." Anon retorted, displaying his middle finger.
"Hehehe... what's your na, human ?" the demon inquired with sinister smile.
"If I had a crucifix right now, i would shove it up your ass. You want to know my na ? Well, I am your death." Anon replied, assuming a defensive stance.
"Die, then," the demon declared, raising his hand toward Anon and snapping his fingers.
Tick
Four seconds passed, but nothing happened...
"Hmm...?" The demon glanced at his hand in confusion and snapped his fingers again.
Tick
Still, nothing occurred...
"What's happening? Why aren't my powers working?" the demon muttered, looking at his hand with confusion.
"Hahahaha... you idiot. What kind of demon are you?" Anon burst into laughter, approaching the demon.
"Oi, why are you laughing?" the demon asked Anon, his expression a mix of confusion and anger.
"You foolish creature, you're standing in a (Null) Area. You can't use mana here. Now I understand why that old man insisted on training here," Anon said with a smile.
"What?" The demon touched the ground and began analyzing the magic-nullifying array.
"So, what was it you were saying?" Anon asked, grinning as he walked toward the demon.
"O-Oi, don't co near . I-I will kill you," the demon stamred, crawling backward upon realizing he couldn't use magic here.
Anon picked up a tal rod from the ground and swung it at the demon's face.
Thud
"Ahhhhhh-"
The demon was sent flying like an object as soon as the iron rod hits his face.
"So, you intended to kill , huh?" Anon asked, slowly advancing with a nacing smile on his face.
"W-Wait... human. We can make a deal. Don't be foolish... I can make you incredibly wealthy and powerful. Everyone will bow before you," the demon proposed, smiling confidently.
"Yeah, you can really do that, huh?" Anon retorted, pulling the rod back and hitting the demon again.
Thud
"Ahhhhhhhh... Damn it... human, just stop and listen to ," the demon pleaded as he tried to stop Anon.
