THE LIAR FACE DEMON (Legendary Wizard Saint)

J.TNANGA

Chapter 17: (Mature) Demon is every demon’s worst nightmare…

Demon stared at the monster with eyes that displayed complete and absolute insanity. His face looked sad but then Demon was smiling. Not the kind of smile people do when they are taking pictures, but the wicked insane kind of smile that shows how crazy and completely messed up a person is. That’s what the monster saw.

The monster realized who the real monster truly was.

Seeing such a terrifying sight, the monster’s heart could no longer handle the buildup stress and the huge amount of adrenaline that was rushing through its body and was depleting at such a rate.

The monster could not handle the look on Demon’s face, it feared it and knew it was something insanely out of this world. A single thought crossed the monster’s mind before it died.

“If I simply had died….” Thought the monster. “If he only killed me when I dared attack him before then I wouldn’t have had to witness this sight”

And the monster died, just like that. The monster’s internal blood vessels had all been ruptured by its own body. Demon with that same wicked smile, slowly approaches the monster as if he wasn’t used to walking, as if he couldn’t control his body properly.

“Hahahahaha” said Demon with a slight musical tune to it. “You died so quickly and I was hoping you would still be around, hahahahaha”

“But doesn’t matter” continued Demon with a happy voice. “Did not think something like this would manage to break me….hahahahaha”

Demon finally reach the monster, and with a wicked grin, started throwing the monster around.

“This is so much fun” exclaimed Demon. “It is so good beating annoying pests”

“Guess I should cut you piece by piece then” said Demon to no one in particular.

The moment Demon finished saying that, he threw the demon up in the air, and started to slice the monster piece by piece. The monster’s body started to get cut slice by slice. Its head got sliced into 6 pieces and Demon continue to slice it, as if he was making pizza (throwing the monster’s body up in the air and then slicing it in midair using wind magic).

“I wonder how many slices I can make with this monster’s body?” wondered Demon out loud to no one in particular. “This is so much fun!!”

“What are you doing?” asked Marytus in a voice so low that even if a person was right next to her, that person wouldn’t be able to hear what she just said.

“What are you doing?” said Marytus in shocked at Demon just casually tossing the monster’s body in midair and slicing it, over and over again.

Marytus could not understand what’s going on. She felt intense fear from her very body, from every corners in her mind, her instincts are telling her to run as far away from this place as possible, for if she misses this chance she might never have it again.

Marytus pushes those dark thoughts in her mind out. She tries to stay strong and walk towards Demon, but with every step she takes, her body shakes even more. Goosebumps starts to appear throughout her body, yet, Marytus keep on pushing herself until she was still a couple of steps away from Demon.

But Demon still had his back to Marytus and seemed to not have heard Marytus’ voice from before and is still slicing the monster only this time not tossing it, but holding it firmly.

Marytus tries to make one more step but is unable to do it. Her body is frozen. Frozen in complete and absolute fear. She has become paralyzed from fear of the person she herself love. She is afraid that Demon will look her way.

She doesn’t understand why it would scare her if Demon turned around. She doesn’t understand, but her instincts are telling her that if Demon turned to look at her right now, she would die.

She probably won’t even have time to see Demon’s face, just the very motion of Demon turning around to face her, would kill her in one breath.

Marytus still trembling, put both arms around herself as if giving herself a self-hug and is trying to calm her mind down. But it won’t. Her mind is racing and dark thoughts from every corner of her being is slowly occupying every space in her mind, until she can no longer think clearly.

“Ma…..ry….tus” said Demon slowly, so very slowly that one would think that Demon was at his own funeral. “Is……that…..you?”

“Y-….yes” said Marytus with tears dropping from her eyes like a water fall after hearing the way Demon spoke with such a sad mournful tone.

“I can’t turn around right now” said Demon with a very sad tone.

“I see” replied Marytus curtly.

“I am feeling so disgusted right now……Roshturn….she….” said Demon with his voice faltering. “I couldn’t save her……she died…..just like everyone else……she died……they died…..”

“No” said Marytus.

“………..” (Demon).

“No” repeated Marytus firmly.

“What do you mean NO. Do you think I would lie about a person I care about? Do you think I enjoy this?” asked Demon with his voice’s killing intent rising to new heights, as if it could pierce this silence. “Who do you think you are?”

“I think it’s because I am one of the people you care about that I can say this, I think it’s because I knew Roshturn that I am able to say this” replied Marytus all the while breathing hard as she realizes her death is near.

“Then prove to me how Roshturn didn’t died?” asked Demon as if trying to fill up this empty hole in his heart. “Prove it”

“Roshturn is alive…..in our hearts…..as long as we don’t forget her……she’ll always be alive…..always with us…..together….forever…” reply Marytus.

“Don’t give me that crap” States Demon quite firmly and matter-of-factly.

“It’s not crap…..it’s the truth”

“I don’t want nor care about the truth, all I want is Roshturn…….I need her” said Demon.

“And she’ll always be there…..with us”

"N- no…..I can’t…..” said Demon as his voice starts to shake up and as realization that Roshturn died and he couldn’t do anything sink in, as denying her death, as thinking that she would magically show up was just wishful thinking, as going insane again was not going to fix anything but make matters worse.

Then only then, did Demon finally let himself kneel down in front of the monster’s flesh and the pieces of its stomach and what could be Roshturn’s chewed flesh. Tears start to fall like water droplets from Demon’s eyes. It was similar to watching a storm-like rain.

Demon cried and cried, yelled and yelled, but no other sounds were made during this agonizing time.

Even Marytus didn’t say anything to Demon. She didn’t know what to say to someone for something like this…..in fact she was feeling the same way as Demon. She was in shock too. She wasn’t even aware of her friend’s death until Demon said she died.

Marytus was still in shock yet manage to say all those lines to Demon before, but she herself couldn’t believe that a person she just talked to, that someone she trusted and knew how powerful she was, could have died…….Marytus couldn’t move as another emotion beside fear came to the surface of her mind. It was sadness on the same level as the fear.

Memories of her time with Roshturn emerges, she remembers everything as if it was just the day prior (Because it was just the day prior). Her laughter, her smile, those good times they had with Demon at night-times, all those crazy times……..

And Roshturn just went and died……No that couldn’t be possible. Marytus did not want to just accept that and leave it alone, she was feeling the same pain as Demon.

Demon then slowly turned around to face Marytus, and everything went dark for Marytus……
