Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Pablo wanted to kill the Demon King.

But he couldn't do it as the Being was right in front of him. He needed some time and a plan for that.

However, the Demon King got to know about it and he would have moved back to see what Pablo could do but the Demon King found Pablo a man who could really pull it off.

The Demon King felt that if he gave Pablo a chance, he might die by the hands of this Human and since the King wasn't fond of dying, he won't give the Human any chance at all.

The Demon King spread his arms and summoned a sword. A sword made out of black fangs. On its blade, on both sides there were thick long fangs. It wasn't flat like normal blades, it was heavy, just by the look of it and it took no genius to figure out that this sword meant death.

Pablo's Colt trembled more than ever in the presence of such a sword and the man couldn't blame it.

The Demon King pointed that sword at Pablo's chest, right where his heart was and since Pablo had some loyal people, which were only two at the moment, they came for his help.

Draxus brought his shadow under Pablo's feet.

Andrezj also muttered something under his breath as if Pablo died then Sera would never forgive Andrezj if he didn't help him.

Pablo was not a man to rely on other people so he got ready to use a Special Skill right away.

But all of that never came to fruition, not even Dravakos' attack. As when the Demon King was just about to pierce Pablo's heart…

RUMBLE!

The Ashen Crucible rumbled like never before.

It rumbled before when the Demon King was summoned and it rumbled now.

But this time, it rumbled harder, crazier than the last time. It trembled as if it wanted to puke something out of its chest.

The Demon King lost his footing and like him, Pablo and everyone else suffered the same fate.

All of them fell down and Pablo stopped himself from using a Special Skill.

But he did not wait long, lying in front of the Demon King wasn't the best position.

'Fly me far away from him! Now!'

Pablo commanded through his mind as with the Crucible trembling like that, he had only one way to escape.

Andrezj.

The male angel wasted no time and held Pablo from under his armpits.

Then he took off in the air.

The soldiers watching it were out of their wits and even Malvador couldn't believe his eyes.

Pablo was flying. Although, his style of flying was weird. But he was flying.

'Drop me to the opposite end of the Demon King. Something is about to happen. Tell Draxus to meet me there.' Pablo ordered and in no time, Andrezj reached the other end of the Crucible.

He placed Pablo down and relayed his message to Draxus.

Draxus was already inside his shadow and he glided on the ground to reach beside Pablo.

But just like Andrezj, the Demon King also knew some tricks. Tricks like flying. Heck, the only reason he fell down was because the trembling of the ground took him off guard.

Not anymore though.

The Demon flapped his large black wings and took off in the air.

"What are you doing, Pablo Castillo!?" The Demon roared.

Pablo roared back: "If I could do something like this I would have done it long ago!"

"Then what is this!?" Dravakos barked. "This place Cursed. This place Vile. This place Death!"

Malvador was in the center of the Crucible and he was on the ground.

He was completely healed and completely naked.

The Crucible rumbled the hardest in the center and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up.

But he knew that he had to get away from the center. He would die if he stayed there. And he can't die just yet. He had yet to make Pablo know of his crimes. He had yet to punish Pablo for what he did to him.

He began crawling, his skin covered in ashes but the Vampire kept crawling. He would crawl if he had to. Staying alive was the only thing that mattered and he would give up everything just to stay alive.

The Demon King stayed in the air as the mighty Being too, was afraid to step on the ground.

Cupid also came flying over where Pablo was and Harlia managed to stand up and jumped to reach Pablo's side.

All the soldiers and other Marshals used whatever they could to reach where Pablo was as they were afraid. They were afraid to be separated from Pablo. Pablo was their only hope as that was the only man in the whole Crucible who managed to make the Demon King say that Pablo had what it takes. If they stayed with him, they would stay alive.

But there were some who weren't able to come to the other side.

The Eight slaves of Pablo.

They had no Egoes, they had no strength, they didn't have the same stamina as those who had an Ego. They couldn't even stand up on their feet, much less walk or jump to the other side.

In such a situation, their eyes only looked for their master and Pablo took all of their terrified gaze in his eyes.

Their eyes only had one question—What now?

Pablo thought for a while but he didn't pay it that much mind to reach an answer.

He told Andrezj, 'Tell them to stay put. No one would give a fuck to them. Tell them to act like air and whatever happens, don't try to act like a hero. They would die if they did that. And if they didn't listen to my order, I would kill them myself. Say that word to word.'

Andrezj nodded as he couldn't care less about Pablo's slaves and relayed every word that Pablo said to them.

The slaves heard the male angel and with one last look to Pablo, the slaves stopped acting like the world was ending. They stayed lying on the trembling Crucible.

However, they didn't have to do it for too long as the rumbling finally stopped.

But what happened after that made everyone think that the rumbling was kind.

Because from the center of the Crucible, from its chest, a hole ripped open.

A Huge Hole.

And from that hole, came out something that Pablo had believed would come out from the start.

"RANGHHHHHHGHGHHHGNGNGGGHHHH!!"

The Dead Dragon King joined the War.
