THE LIAR FACE DEMON (Legendary Wizard Saint)

J. TNANGA

Chapter 20: (Mature) Dinner with a beast

“ROAR!!!” yelled the bears in unison.

They continue their relentless attacks at the demons.

The remaining demons all had their hope crushed. They each knew they didn’t have long to live. They each knew that they were a couple of moments away from their death.

They wanted to fight back as much as possible, for as long as they can, just in case a ray of hope would shined upon them. They were all awaiting their never coming ex machina. No matter what, they wanted to have their hope back, and during this moment, this is all they got.

Suddenly and uninvited their hopes return miraculously. From the moment they notice this young man’s appearance, they felt their strengths coming back, their hopes and their will power. Of course the person that suddenly appeared was none other than Demon.

He didn’t seem to be smiling like he always was. In fact, Demon seemed a bit sad and angry at the same time.

Demon gave the two demonic gigantic bears facing him one weird angry look and declared the following.

“Anyone that wants to stay alive, leave right now” states Demon in a serious tone. “If you don’t, I cannot guarantee that your survival”

All the demons that were fighting the bears then took flight or ran away from the bears and started making route to go outside the tunnel. They were all very thankful towards Demon.

They would never forget the kindness that Demon just shown them. Their admiration for Demon continue to rise even more.

Now, they all saw Demon as some sort of King, as a lord or a man that they would each devote their life to. They did not worry that Demon could die by the bears hands. They were all certain, that between the bears and Demon, Demon was the true monster, the real beast.

Of course the two bears didn’t know any of that. To those two it looks like a random human just shown up and everyone took that chance to suddenly run away from them.

Because of how the demons look so happy when the human showed up, the two bears grew angrier and now wanted to devour them all, just squashing them like the bugs they are would no longer satisfied their boredom. They wanted the pleasure of devouring their flesh.

The bears then went in for the kill, by attacking Demon with their paws. But their paws left no damage to Demon. In fact, Demon merely smiled and asked the two bears a question.

“Do you know the law of the forest?” asked Demon with a serious tone.

“ROAR!!!” answered the two bears.

“When a beast meets another beast, the battle is decided from the very beginning by how much of a beast the other beast is” continue Demon.

“ROAR!!!” states the two bears as they continue attacking Demon.

Demon all the while ignoring the fact that the two bears are attacking him and not bothering to listen to his story at all, merely continues his explanation.

“Guess what?” asked Demon. “I am a bigger beast than any one of you could ever be”

“ROAR!!!” replied the bears as they take a couple of steps backwards, as if they were trying to find another way to attack Demon since their attacks were clearly not working.

“I threw up a while back, so I am starving a little” continue Demon. “Don’t mind if I take a paw or a head or two”

Then Demon went on the offensive and all hell broke loose for those poor demonic bears.

Demon kept casting earth magic to create walls that would keep the bears in place, then with the bears blocked and unable to move freely while blocked by those walls, Demon went into a meditative state as he starts the spell he was about to cast when Roshturn got grabbed and died.

“I shouldn’t keep my eyes closed” thought Demon. “But the spell recitation works faster with my eyes closed. I am afraid of opening my eyes and witnessing someone else I care about dying”

While thinking of all of that, Demon gave up and closed his eyes. Fear and anxiety took over his thoughts. Demon couldn’t help but to think that another person he cares about is probably dying at this very moment and that when he opens his eyes soon, he’ll see them die, just like Roshturn.

With those dark thoughts circulating in his mind, Demon recite the incantation.

“Please spirits of this world, of this dimension, give me an immeasurable appetite that would allow me to create fear and dominate anything and any creatures that I deem worthy of such a meal. Please allow me to eat as remembrance of the gods and give me an absolute will and absolute strength to not allow a single one to escape………..” Demon continues to recite the incantation as fast as he can, and during that time, something is happening with Marytus……

“No…….” Thought Marytus with a worried voice. “Please don’t come here…….anything else but this………WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS THING?……….WHY?”

“Please, oh great Demon Emperor, protect me and everyone I care about” thought Marytus as a form of prayer. “Help me, someone help me…….I need to…”

The dark figure moves closer and closer to Marytus, and with each movement of the dark figure, whose features cannot be seen yet since the lights at that particular area aren’t functioning properly due to the bear from before, Marytus seemed to want to move back, as if cowering due to fear.

But Marytus on her side, could see what the figure was, or who it was……it was none other than what Marytus did not want……In all the times this could have happened……it was the moment when Marytus was at her weakest……the moment when Demon needed her the most…..

The thing………the person approaching Marytus………is none other than………The demonic chicken that asked Marytus out!!!! the demonic chicken that is the story broadcaster!!!!!

“I knew it was you, Marytus” said the demonic chicken. “I would recognize you from anywhere. I actually came here to fix one of the cameras that’s not working…..so I decided to take a small break from commenting on the broadcast, I saw some crazy messed up stuff going on…..”

“DAMN IT!!!! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THAT DAMN CHICKEN, LIKE SERIOUSLY? IS THIS WORLD PLAYING A JOKE ON ME OR WHAT?” thought Marytus.

“JUST HELP ME ALREADY YOU DUMB-ASS” yelled Marytus.

“Um……I am not sure I am supposed t—“ started the demon chicken.

“Just help me, this tournament doesn’t matter anymore…..I am too severely injured, just help me and bring me up”

“Ok, if you say so” replied the demon chicken. “Also, your face looked a bit worried-like when you saw mine, mind explaining?”

“…………” (Marytus)

“Are you still embarrassed because I (a demon chicken) asked you out a couple days ago?” asked the story broadcaster.

“…………” (Marytus)

“OK, FINE, KEEP IGNORING ME” said the demon chicken. “Because of that I am not going to use my wings to fly out of here, we’ll just have to use the long way out…”

“But I thought you didn’t know how to use your wings……” Marytus interrupted the demonic chicken.

“What? How do you…..” started the demon chicken. “Ah, right, I did say that accidentally in the microphone when running for my life when Demon summoned that meteor…..”

Marytus embarrassingly continue to not look at the demon chicken’s face while he carries her away using his electro-magnetic voice magic that lifted Marytus up in the air and kept her up in a steady height up in the air.

[Author’s Note: Marytus is a flame-wearers, if the demon chicken touched her, he would have turned into the next fried chicken for dinner]

“We are going to take the elevator up, okay?” said the demon chicken.

“Ok” was Marytus’ short replied.

Demon finished his spell’s incantation at the same time as the two bears finished breaking the earth wall. Demon with a confidence smile, gives the two bears one weird look, and then jump on the shoulder of one of the bears.

“Hooooohhhh” exclaim Demon. “I am so hungry, guess it’s time for a meal, then with no further ado, let’s dine, welcome to dinner with a beast!!”

The moment Demon finished saying that, his eyes’ color changed to red, and he started devouring the arm of the bear. Blood and flesh drips off, the bear screamed and roar but to no avail.

The bear continues to try to shake Demon off, but Demon remained as sturdy as if he had an unending amount of strength. Demon continues to eat and eat and eat. The other bear is paralyzed with fear.

That bear had never seen anything like this. A small human boy of about 14-16 years old, devouring a large bear and eating it raw, in what kind of world would you see something like this?

The bear was taken by an absolute fear that it could not repelled.

It couldn’t run away, it couldn’t help his fellow demonic bear that is getting eaten by Demon, it just couldn’t move at all, it was stuck observing what’s happening to his fellow bear. It knew it was going to happen to him as well.

It knew it didn’t have long before he died, but still couldn’t get the strength to move nor the courage to run. It simply crouched down and watched as his fellow bear was completely devoured and as his turn came.

“Guess what?” said Demon, wiping some of the blood dripping from his mouth with his left hand, and turning to the other bear (the one still alive for now) with a smile. “It’s…….your……turn”

Demon didn’t need to say any of that to add any more drama effect, the bear understood quite well that it’s turn was next, that it’s turn finally came. The bear watches as Demon open his mouth and starts to devour him as well….

Two hours later:

“Man!!!” exclaim Demon with happiness. “I haven’t eaten this much in a while. That was some good meat right there. Wish I could have some more though….”

Demon then went back in a meditation state and cancel the spell, returning his eyes back to its original color.

“Now, then, I should go back to Marytus” thought Demon. “Marytus and I should leave this stupid place….”
