Chapter 93: Stepson in Distress
[1]
~
The afternoon rays shined upon the camp, glistening with the cheerfulness of the people inside.
Many students were laughing as they sat in a circle playing card games while some of the other students were cooking.
Amongst all that chattering and wholesome atmosphere, only one person was missing.
Yes, Rael wasn't there, well to be honest he stole all the barbeque sticks that the students were cooking stuffing his mouth with one, and carrying the others in his arms.
Shamelessly after finishing one, he ate the others and when someone would reprimand him, just like a spoiled child he would flaunt his aura.
But enough fun and games, now it was time for him to go alone and hunt for demonic beasts.
The Realm was big, even though it was a lower world, it wasn't a normal one, many irregularities consisted in it.
Just like how humans get influenced by magic and mana, even animals got influenced by giving birth to beasts.
Now why would he go alone and why would he even hunt beats?
Like said before, the lower world Rael was living in was abnormal so he suspected that there could be many other things law-breaking items present, more so in a mysterious forest full of danger.
Humming a song he strolled around the camp which earned him many malicious gazes, ignoring them all the continued trudging towards the boundary, in hopes to go for a fun plod.
Many wondered where he was going but they didn't mind it, if he wanted to leave then it was his choice.
"Irakiel! Where are you going??!" Sona asked with a scowl on her face which was returned to her with a gentle smile leaving her dazed.
"Nothing much, I am going out for a stroll, maybe ill find something interesting," Rael answered to her nonchalantly.
"No! You can't leave, what if a strong beast eats you???" She glared right into his icy jade eyes as she spoke.
"Aww, are you worried about me?" Rael made a puppy expression as he came closer to her.
Her face turned pale as she quickly retorted not letting him make the mistake of misunderstanding her outburst.
"W-worried?! No! You are the strongest in our grade so if you die a few problems will be caused and we are also depending on your strength to pass this assessment."
She had gotten a bit flustered but then quickly regained her demeanor adding a bit of shamelessness.
Rael couldn't help but suppress his laugh as he pinched her nose.
"Dont worry, didn't you say I am strong so how could I die? Besides the universe wouldn't let me die again." He whispered the other half in a low voice not letting her hear.
"B-but -" She wanted to counter but Rael stuffed a barbeque stick in her mouth, not letting her speak.
"Bye-bye ~" He stuffed another stick in his mouth and quietly withdrew from the scene.
Sona looking at Rael muttered something under her breath and looked at his departing back with complex emotions.
While Sona was having conflicted feelings Rael's playfulness and earlier attitude had totally vanished, his entire manner had changed.
His eyes glinted seriousness but his face was different, it was red at the corners barely able to hide his excitement.
'If I am right then the vibes I felt were coming from the north.' He closed his eyes again widening his spirit sense. After a total of ten minutes, his spiritual senses detected the beast he was looking for.
'Finally found him, wait.... somebody is fighting it." His eyebrows furrowed, the beast was clearly on a level of Rael's so the person fighting it would surely fail. Rael shook his head thinking that the person would most probably die.
Nevertheless, he rushed right into the woods to test out his prowess.
'I hope it tastes good.' He licked his lips and proceeded towards the woods with drool upon his face.
~
In a lone area, was standing Alan, a prince of greed. He had just found out that his fiance and even his twin sister had kissed Rael who had magically appeared in their lives.
"Fuck that bastard!" Alan roared in anger as he screamed at the top of his voice venting his anger.
'What is his fucking problem!! Why did that trash enter our lives again!! Stupid bastard child!!! I wish he was dead!!'
He then proceeded to kick a stone at his full force, as soon as he did that, his toe started paining.
"God are you fucking with me?!" He growled pointing looking at the sky while holding his legs with both his hands.
Unbeknownst to him, God was indeed fucking his life up.
*GROWWWWLLLLLLL!!!!!*
Alan's face turned white like a sheet. 'Don't fucking tell me.... that the pebble hurt a ranked demon beast...'
He could clearly make out that it was a duke-rank beast due to the aura it was giving out.
'I guess there is no other option but to fight it or else death is what will come for me.' He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands only to calm down.
He was trained by his father who was the Apostle of the Greed.
He had even evolved into an arch-demon himself, a prodigy among prodigies, it was just that all his other siblings were also already arch-demons.
Among the Greed family, he believed himself to be the most talented which caused his prejudice against the weak, especially Rael, who he thought was trash.
He often wondered how could such trash be born in the Greed Royal Family, considering him to be a disgrace. Hence his hate for him.
He then turned to look at the beast who came out from the bushes glaring at him.
The beast had deep and sharp spikes on the bark of his back and red trenches around its yellow dilated pupils.
Long slits and grey fur on its entire body. It had sharp canines that could pierce through anything, it had a tail with an arrow on its end along with two conoid horns piercing through its head.
"You stupid beast! I will show you who is superior here!' He shouted as wings sprouted out from his back causing his eye to dilate into a blood-red color and hair full of black and two black horns which also came out from his forehead like bulges.
DEMON TRANSFORMATION!!!!!
He flapped his wings taking flight into the skies looking towards the beast with disdain which turned into a smirk.
"SPECIAL GREED TECHNIQUE!!!!!" He roared at the top of his voice.
The beast waited for the attack and looked at him with bloodshot eyes.
"RUN AWAY!!!!!" Screaming that, he turned to run away at full speed, he knew he couldn't win, he wasn't a reckless naive brat to try and take it down.
'AHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHHAHA I AM A FUCKING GENIUS!!!!!!"
The beast looked at his departing body dumbfoundedly, after a few seconds he realized. 'You motherfucker how dare you fool this king!!!!'
Pressing its large feet on the ground, the beast started to accumulate mana in them after what it took a huge leap. 'NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!!'
*Fwooooo!!!*
It flew into the sky, roaring and chasing after the golden-haired trot. Alan's rejoice was short as he turned around to look that the stupid beast was chasing after him.
'Do I really have no other choice but to fight that overpowered beast?????? NO!! I will not lose my life here!'
Right when he regained hope, the beast spewed scarlet flames that burned his butt.
His eyes became watery as he cursed the beast god knows how many times.
"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur..... fuck you kitty!!!" He roared.
He had enough of the kitty bullying him.
"I'll show you what happens when you mess with the greatest and the most handsome man!!" He opened his palms as gusts of wind started to flow from them. They turned larger and larger as big as a mini-hill.
WHIRLS OF WIND!!!!!
*BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *FWOOOO!!*
A huge amount of energy and heat rose in the air along with friction as a fire started to generate blazing everything with dense flames along with the wind magic.
A huge tornado of wind and sparks of flames was formed.
The young demon looked at him with veins covering most of his body, it showed that his mana veins had exhausted the living shit out of him.
EXECUTE!!!!!!
*SWOOSH!!*
The massive wind bullet sprang right into the beast's body living a huge hole in it. Alan's eyes started to blur out as nausea took over him.
He tried to vomit but it wouldn't come out. Forced exhaustion took over him as he fell to the ground.
*CRASHH!!*
He fell nearby where the beast who had also fallen was whimpering, what he didn't notice was that the beast was incredibly angry, full of rage, and was healing at an astronomical degree which was astonishing but not surprising.
'At least I managed to take out that stupid beast.' Alan muttered in his mind. 'I should send a distress signal to those lowly worms.'
He growled internally as he fired an enigma of his greed emblem to notify his classmates with the little power he had left.
Just when his body started to relax a shadow overtook the entire place.
Alan with the pitiful strength opened his eyes only to see the beast who was standing on its fours and whimpering to be standing on two legs and destroying everything with rage.
'Fuck! I forgot it was a ranked beast!!! It has its own berserk mode!!!!' He cursed his luck and God, he was surely going to proceed to hell due to his constant abuses to God.
Berserk mode which only high-level bests have, every demon also has it but to trigger it one needs to be in a heavy rage only then can it awaken it.
When awakened the person or beast loses control upon itself and destroyed everything in its sight not caring about anything.
"Ah, shit is my life over now?" Alan sighed, he then started to get flashbacks of all his encounters with his family and whenever someone praised him.
Just when the beast was about to strike at him, he closed his eyes accepting death. Right at that moment, he felt the wind pushing against his face. Blinking his eyes he opened it only to be slackjawed.
In front of him was a silver-haired boy with sticking ice-colored eyes which had a glint of purple burning within them.
His skin was flawless and his exterior was very chiseled despite looking delicate. The man looked like a God, more ethereal than even the definition of ethereal.
Alan who had a huge fear towards anyone better than him hence being arrogant was looking at him with dazed eyes.
He was better than him, he knew it since the moment he laid his eyes on him.
Alan turned to look him in the eyes but felt lost in them, the eyes were filled with confidence and disdain towards him, it wasn't even hidden.
Then his lips curled giving out a smug smile.
"What a pussy you are."
