Chapter 112 Fleeing From The Demon
Damian flew toward the door he used to reach the garden, carrying Aurora alongside him, using his cloak to keep them safe from the giant bugs that were still flying around the area.
He did not know what was the power the demon had, but he hoped Salamander and Rubber could hold it for a while, yet that did not seem like the case!
"It is coming after us!" Aurora said.
She looked over her shoulder, and she saw the red-skin demon flying toward them using two bat wings. Its speed looked superior to that of Damian, but they were still far from it because of their early advantage.
"Can we reach the door before it reaches us?" Aurora asked.
Damian looked behind his back too, seeing the same thing as her. He did not know if it would be possible to reach the door in time! That demon seemed to get faster and faster as time passed.
"Did it kill those two guys so fast? This thing is far more powerful than I thought!" Damian thought.
He was expecting to get more of a distance, but the demon killed Salamander and Rubber in a matter of seconds!
"Fuck, fuck. Will I die like this?"
No one wanted to die. There were still so many answers Damian had to find, and his life could not end like that!
"Stop flying away. You will not escape from me! And even if you do, more demons will come after you!" the demon yelled.
"What is it talking about, Damian?"
"Let\'s say I accidentally stole something from the King of the Underworld, hehe."
"You what?"
Aurora did not ask more, as they were more busy trying to escape with their lives. But no matter how much Damian increased his speed, it was not working!
The demon got closer and closer until it was right behind them. "Bye - bye," it said, using its hand to punch Damian.
It was a powerful blow that sent Damian flying toward the ground, creating a massive hole in the ground after the impact! Damian was carrying Aurora, so the two got hurt together.
"Agggrr," they growled with pain.
Damian was happy to be alive, but he could feel some of his bones were broken.
"I broke one arm and both legs. Fuck," Damian said.
Aurora was not the target of the attack, so she only received the damage of the falling, but Damian got the direct power of the punch, so his state was much worse.
She touched him, copying his ability, preparing to fight against the demon, even if it meant she would die for him!
"So cute. You wish to die first, human girl?" the demon said, appearing right before Aurora in the blink of an eye.
The power of that creature was something beyond what Damian and Aurora could comprehend. It was something otherworldly, a thing for the strongest super humans to face, not youths like them.
Then, something incredible happened! The demon was about to attack the two again with everything it got, but an ethereal form appeared before them, blocking the attack!
It was the ghost of Damian\'s ancestor, a portion of its power was still there to protect its descendant, even after two thousand years!
The size of that ethereal giant was not as extraordinary as its body back in the shack, but it was still the size of a building, stopping the demon\'s punch using its palm.
"What? The ghost of a giant? Ha, your race was powerful, but they all died a long time ago," the demon said with a smirk, making fun of the ghost.
The giant did not speak a word, only punching the demon back. Its power was tremendous, sending the demon flying like a cannon ball, destroying the ground, the trees, and everything on its path!
Even Damian had to hold on to the ground to not fly with the impact of that punch.
"The wind caused by the attack is this powerful? I cannot imagine receiving such an attack," Damian thought.
Aurora could tell Damian was not looking good, but that was the best opportunity they would ever have to escape, so she grabbed him and flew toward the garden door, using his ability.
It was not as fast as when Damian was flying, but that had to be enough! They kept going, not stopping for a second.
She kept looking behind their back from time to time to see if the demon was still chasing them. Not that until a few minutes passed.
The horned demon was once again on the horizon, following them.
"Fuck this thing! Not even the giant could stop it?" Aurora cursed.
Damian saw it too, but said, "keep going, the door is right there! We will make it in time!"
Aurora flew, using the best of her abilities, reaching the garden door before the demon caught up to them. Damian touched the door, and it opened again.
The two passed through it, and then Damian placed his hand once again, closing it!
After a few seconds, they could hear the banging on the door! It was the demon. "I will leave this place one day, and I will find you!"
It cursed Damian, and it hit the massive door multiple times, trying to open it, yet nothing happened. It was trapped there.
"We are safe," Aurora sighed in relief.
Despite leaving the danger, Damian still looked badly hurt. "Bring me to the other room," he said.
Aurora carried him by the shoulder, entering on the other room, the door right beside the garden. Damian touched that door, and it opened just like all the rest.
A room with nothing more than a gigantic chalice filled with blood. It was so big it could fit 100 people on that chalice!
They flew toward it, stopping after getting closer enough for Damian to jump on it.
"Are you sure you want to dive into a pool of blood?" Aurora asked.
"This is the only way to unlock the bloodline. I have to do this," Damian said.
