Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 262: Forget About Heart

For all this time, only the Demon and the army were fighting.

Where was Pablo?

He had yet to make a move.

He was standing beside the Demon before the Being changed his position.

But now he was nowhere to be seen.

Where did he go?

In front of the King’s castle, the running and killing was going on and Pablo wasn’t there.

So if he wasn’t in the front area of the city or the castle, then he would surely be at the back of the castle.

And indeed, that was the case.

Behind the king’s castle, Pablo rested his back on the wall and he was sitting on the ground.

He wasn’t moving and his eyes were closed.

He heard all the noise and commotion coming from behind him but he didn’t even twitch.

Deaths were evident after all.

But he wasn’t just resting behind the castle, he was waiting for something as well.

And after a long time, his wait was finally over.

’Pa..Pa..blo.’

Pablo stood up. "Angel? Is that you?"

’Ye-s.’

"You took forever to wake up. Where are you? You have tell me how to ki-"

’Where is the Demon? Where are you? Are you fine?’ Cupid interrupted Pablo.

"I am so fucking confused and disoriented. I am forced to meditate. Come here or tell me from there what to do with that thing!"

’You didn’t fight with him?’ Cupid asked, a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Of course I didn’t. I have no clue about him. He just resurrected even after getting demolished to pieces. I was waiting for you to tell me how to deal with him."

’There is only one way to kill a full fledged Demon.’

"Tell me that!"

’Will you do it?’

"Hell I will. I don’t want to die just by sheer strength of someone. Tell me how to kill him."

’You have to eat his heart.’

…

Pablo stopped talking.

Cupid said nothing as well.

After ten seconds, Pablo spoke :

"Any other way?"

’No. That’s the only way. Andre also confirms it.’

Pablo sighed. "He is fine, right?"

’Yes. He is fine. I heard how you talk to the Demon to spare us.’

"It was only you who could tell me how to deal with him. I couldn’t have let you die."

’Still. It’s a good progress. You are developing sympathy.’

Pablo clenched his jaw.

"Listen, bitch. I am not playing games here. If I knew how to kill the Demon I would have let him kill you both. Don’t expect anything soft from me. I will not tolerate it next time."

’Of course. You are still you.’

"Leave it. Tell me this, is Andre there?"

’Yes. He is injured the most. He was the one who engaged with the Demon as soon as he appeared. Though, he was no match.’

"I don’t care. Ask him this, if the mist was the doing of the Demon then how could his Angelic powers work in it. How could he heal Sera’s hands after getting harmed by the mist?"

There was silence for a while but Cupid arrived very soon.

’He says that his powers were stronger than the Demon’s at that time. That’s why he could heal. And he healed Sera when her injury didn’t get worse. If she had remained injured for a long time by the mist, then he would have failed to treat her.’

Cupid explained and Pablo nodded.

"So I need to eat his heart and this will end?"

’Yes.’

"No wonder he wasn’t dead even after getting shredded. What a pain. This is way bigger than the assignment. This is bullshit."

Pablo let out a tired sigh.

"I need a plan. I won’t fight him without it. I need to think."

Pablo stopped talking and he ran scenarios inside his head.

He had a way or two to deal with the Demon but he wanted a sure fire way.

A simple mistake would cost him his life.

Thankfully, he had enough time to think about that.

However, as they say, the main problem with everyone is that they think they have time.

Suddenly, Pablo stopped hearing voices of killings coming from behind him and before he could think anything else…

"Who are you talking to, detective?"

Someone arrived in front of him.

And it was the last person Pablo wanted to see.

"Motherfucker. Leave me alone!" Pablo shouted.

He cursed just out of sheer shock.

The last thing he was expecting was the Demon in front of him.

His shock made him curse the Demon and the Demon, in return, just grinned.

"You are a strange one, Human." He said.

Pablo didn’t reply. He glued his back on the castle wall.

"You are certainly afraid I can understand that. But unlike others, your fear is different."

Pablo frowned. The Demon carried on.

"All of them are screaming, sweating, crying for their lives, they are afraid to die. But you, your fear is like… controlled."

The Demon rambled some more and Pablo started to understand where the Being was getting at.

"You are also afraid of me but it’s like there is some part of you that is constantly thinking of killing me. And that part of yours is entirely sure that you can kill me.

The others have left hope of winning but I always got this feeling from you that you believe that you can prevail. I don’t know why I am thinking this and if I am right then I don’t know why you are thinking like that.

So, what I am trying to say is, if you really think that you can kill me, then…"

The Demon brought his mouth beside Pablo’s ear and whispered :

"Think again."

The Demon moved back and grinned wider.

"Now let’s join the others. You are missing out all the fun."

"I am fine here." Pablo tried to refuse and that didn’t sit right with the Demon.

"Urk."

Pablo groaned as the Demon grabbed his throat.

Pablo used to do this move to others but now he was on the receiving end.

The Demon tightened his grip on Pablo’s neck.

"Shhh…" The Demon put his finger on the lips. "You don’t get to choose. Starting as of now…"

The Demon stared with his red eyes deep inside Pablo’s soul and declared :

"I am your God, Pablo Castillo."

And with this phrase, Pablo was all too familiar.

The last time Pablo heard this was from someone whom he hated from the depth of his being and now that the Demon used it, his outcome became clear to Pablo.

’Angel, forget about his heart...’

Pablo glared at the Demon in return and made up his mind.

’I will devour him whole.’
