Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 261: Another Demon

The Abyssal Butcher said Dismantle and Cleave.

He spoke two words and everyone waited for something to happen.

KLICK!

SHRILL!

Something did happen and it happened in a split second and ended just as fast.

Everyone felt air shifting around the Demon and when it ended, they all saw what became of the Being.

In small parts, the Demon was divided.

Thousands of fragments of his body laid on the ground.

Pieces of meat lying as if a master butcher had cut it.

No, not a master butcher, an Abyssal Butcher.

"This should be the end of him." The man said.

"I expected no less from you, Disco." Tank praised the man.

The Abyssal Butcher who did Dismantle and Cleave was called Disco.

"Don’t relax. It’s a Demon, keep that in mind. Even his pieces shouldn’t be visible. Destroy him, Vertigo."

Disco moved back and another Abyssal Butcher took his place.

Vertigo was his name and he also outstretched his palm at the pieces of the Demon.

He kept it there like that for a few seconds and soon, black flames erupted from his palm.

The black flame caught the pieces of the Demon and that was it.

"That’s all?" Rower asked.

"Yes. These black flames are indistinguishable. They can’t be put off. They are a hundred times hotter than glory matches." Vertigo explained his power.

"As you say." Rower had no intention of offending an Abyssal Butcher.

Though, he agreed with Vertigo as well.

All of their Demonite suits were on fire when they had arrived inside the city but overtime as they fought with the Demon, the fire went off.

Glory matches might be great but their fire couldn’t stay lit forever.

The Demon’s pieces were distributed in small cubes and all of them were covered with black flames and magma and worms too.

And seeing no movement from the Demon, everyone believed that it was the end.

They really defeated the Demon.

"I think we did it." Tank spoke first and other people followed.

"It’s strange but I think that too."

"Some of us didn’t even get to fight."

"It ended very quickly."

"He seemed strong to me." Jamal said.

"Yeah." Tank agreed. "I expected more from a Demon."

But Tank spoke too soon.

"What a coincidence."

A familiar voice rang.

"I expected more from you all as well."

Everyone jerked their heads all around.

The easy atmosphere disappeared as they were all too familiar with the voice.

That was the same voice that sent them in shivers. That was the voice of the Demon.

They all looked at the tiny pieces of the Being and they all couldn’t believe their eyes.

The pieces wiggled on the ground and they bounced off to other pieces.

They began joining themselves on their own and everyone could only back off.

"Is he healing himself?" Tank asked.

"Tch. Even that didn’t kill him. Is there a special way to kill a Demon?" Rower asked the same question that ran inside everyone’s mind.

How to kill a Demon.

And they received an answer as well.

"You can’t."

The Demon answered them himself as all the tiny pieces became one and the Demon was back in his true form yet again.

Though, the magma, worms and black flames still danced around his body.

"You must be feeling pain at least." Tank said.

"Hmm? Pain? Because of this?"

"Yes?" Tank hoped so.

"Naive you are." The Demon said and jerked his body once.

All the magma covering the Demon fell off on its own and it wasn’t the only thing that came off.

The black flames that couldn’t be extinguished went out as well. The Abyssal Butcher, Vertigo saw such a thing for the first time.

Also, the worms that had invaded the inside of the Being came out with an outburst and they weren’t moving.

"These insects died the moment they tried to eat me. I am not from this world you see. The only way you can defeat me is to bring someone who also isn’t from this world."

The Demon’s skin was fully visible now and it broke everyone’s hearts to see that the beast was unharmed. He was as good as new.

His hands and legs grew back and they appeared stronger than before.

"At least you don’t have your sword." Rower said.

"Hmm. Are you talking about…" The Demon motioned his hands in the air and out of nowhere, a sword manifested on his left hand.

"This."

The Demon smiled and everyone encountered grimace. All of their efforts and Egoes were useless.

The Demon was fine as he was from the start and his red sword also came back.

Nothing made sense.

"Anyway, you all got your chance. Now it’s my turn."

Everyone moved further back from the Demon.

They were already away and they stepped back even further.

But the Demon didn’t seem to care about that.

He roamed his eyes and they landed on a man standing on the front lines.

The man was already looking at the Demon just like everyone else but the next second, the Demon wasn’t there.

"Hello."

Demon arrived in front of the man.

The man shivered and heck, everyone shivered. They moved away for nothing. The Demon was already in front of them.

"Are you Vertigo?" The Demon asked the man.

"Ye-Yes." Vertigo replied.

"You were the one who burned me, right? I hate to say it but you managed to hurt me. So you have to die first."

"What-no?" Vertigo raised his hands towards the Demon.

"Hell fir-"

"Too late."

The Demon motioned his finger, creating an invisible vertical line in the air.

Vertigo felt nothing but after one second, everyone found horrification at its peak.

Vertigo’s body got divided in two parts from the middle vertically.

THUD!

One part fell on the right and the other on the left.

And it was clear by the sight that Vertigo died.

A member of Abyssal Butchers died just by the Demon motioning his finger.

"This is nuts. Attack from far. Don’t get too close to him! Keep running!"

Tank shouted from the top of his lungs and everyone started running all around.

The Demon grinned.

"Let’s play tag for a while then."

He also started running.

He started jogging, to be exact.

He ran playfully like a grown up acting as a kid.

He targeted one soldier at a time and while laughing, he killed them.

He was having fun and he would do it for a long time.

"Tch. There is only one person who could stop him." Tank spoke.

"Who?" Jamal asked.

Tank glanced at the Demon enjoying killing the soldiers and according to him, the only person who could stop the Demon was…

"Another Demon."

And fortunately, there was someone like that present in the Glory city.

Someone who goes with the name…

Pablo Castillo.
