THE LIAR FACE DEMON (Legendary Wizard Saint)

J. TNANGA

Chapter 27: Miracle Worker (Marytus)

“Thank you” said Marytus to the demonic chicken. “I really owe you one”

“It was the least I could do for someone as lovely as you” said the demonic chicken as romantically as he could. “May I get a farewell kiss?”

“Yeah, I think this is good enough” replied Marytus as her facial expression change to that of annoyance. “Don’t say silly things if you don’t want your luck to run out”

“Oops, that was a close one, I better control myself better” thought the demonic chicken.

“So, where exactly is this?” asked the demonic chicken. “I have never seen a house this big and colorful before?”

“That’s Nico’s house” explained Marytus with a serious tone.

“I see” started the demonic chicken. “Wait a minute……. Do you mean…..that Nico?”

“Yes, the one and only, master of all, Nico of the royal guard” states Marytus.

“But why out of all the places would we go here? If you need help, there are more suited healers elsewhere”

“But none can compete with the Master of All in terms of genius and power” explained Marytus.

“That may be true, but you know of the history of Nico, don’t you?” asked the demonic chicken. “and don’t forget about his temperament and he only help others if he is benefitted”

“Yeah, I don’t think the whole, ‘I’ll only help others that can benefit me in some way’ will cause a problem very much” replied Marytus.

“What do you mean?” asked the demonic chicken with a bit of worried in his voice.

“I mean exactly what I said……..also, you can leave me here, I’ll manage the rest on my own….” Said Marytus with a strong voice.

“But……but…….” Said the demonic chicken with great hesitation showing in his chicken eyes.

“You can go, little chicken, and don’t tell Demon anything……If everything works, I might see him again soon……” explained Marytus.

“I don’t feel comfortable leaving you by yourself and with Nico at that too….” The demonic chicken tried to explain but upon seeing the look on Marytus’ face, he did not tried to argue any further, and said merely a few words of good luck and left.

“If everything works properly, I’ll be seeing you soon Demon….” Thought Marytus. “Of course, if everything works properly…….but knowing who Nico is, if it doesn’t work……then there was nothing any of us could have done”

“Nico will definitely help me……after all…..Nico only help those that can benefit him in some way…..and once Nico sees my condition……which I don’t think he has seen anything like this before……he’ll definitely be compel to help me” thought Marytus. “I want to go back to Demon-sama’s arms”

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there once existed a powerful pure-blooded demonic tribe that produced many prodigies and genius the demon continent had ever seen. They brought prospers and riches in all the land.

They were capable of anything, and were renown throughout all the land (even the human kingdom’s land) as Masters of All. Those demons from that particular tribe could do anything, and any magic. They grew at a very slow rate, 50 years would make them about one year in age…..

They were capable of high-grade healing magic that you could only dream of, capable of bringing someone on the verge of death back to full health almost instantaneously, there were even rumors that they could bring someone back from the dead as long as the ashes were still intact.

Those demons served rightfully by the Demon Emperors’ side, they were even capable of acting as a substitute for the Demon Emperor in case of an emergency.

This particular demonic tribe is known as the Luperlock tribe. People could recognize a Luperlock from far away, since their characteristics were deep black hair with green eyes, elves’ ears, great magnificent beauty, but more importantly, they always wore their tribe’s symbol, a red and golden sword and a dragon getting pierced by that sword.

Each and every member of the Luperlock tribe were capable of killing a dragon all by themselves, even children as young as three could accomplish such a ‘small’ feat as they used to put it. The Luperlock tribe were so famous, that humans no longer could ignored them.

The human Kingdom at that time, realized the only way to bring the demon continent to its knee, was to hurt them directly in their heart in one swift attack. And that’s exactly what they did.

The Human Kingdom initiated a ceasefire pact with the Demon Continent for a hundred years or so, but of course, it was all in preparation for building a weapon that could hurt the Luperlock tribe.

It took extensive research, but at long last they found it, the Luperlock’s greatest secret, their weakness, the one thing that with all their power they could not escape nor destroy…..the one thing they feared most…..

With no hesitation, the humans went to work, and used that weapon powered with magic to bring destruction upon all Luperlocks. The war was not even a war, it was a one sided execution. It was easy for the Human Kingdom to destroy the Luperlock.

The Luperlock were all powerful, some could even see bits and glances into the future, but once their one weakness is discovered, it changes everything.

The Luperlocks never thought that anyone could use their weakness in such a diabolical way, they could not have known what evil awaited for them in the future. Had they known such a thing would happen, they would have done some preparations at the very least. The first group of Luperlocks to go down, were their children.

When the Luperlocks noticed that the Humans were invading them, they laughed and thought it must be a huge joke, so they sent their kids first to go and take care of the humans, but they noticed their kids were the ones to get killed.

Unable to accept such a reality, the Luperlocks due to their great pride, did not request backup from the Demon Emperor, when the Demon Emperor was coming to aid them and was only a short day or two from their location. The Luperlocks put their all in that war.

Children, adults, the olds, everyone was fighting, but instead of the humans getting dominated, it was the Luperlocks themselves that got destroy one by one. It was their demise. The Luperlocks should have been smarter, they should have done better. This the history of the Luperlocks.

The Human Kingdom did not stop with killing some of the Luperlock, they wanted to completely wipe them from the face of the map and they accomplished it, or at least, they thought they kill all of them. But thanks to great fortune, a mother managed to hide her child, a young boy of only three years of age inside a closet in the basement.

The Luperlock were almost all extinct. Only one boy remained that carries the bloodline. His name is NICO VI LUPERLOCK. And he is a demon prodigy that not only managed to get in the royal guards at the mere age of six, but he has also challenged the Demon Emperor to a duel and ended in a draw, and was also over powering in his duels against both Zonisk and Kiarria at the same time.

He is considered a legendary figure except that he has quite the troublesome reputation. Even though he is regarded as a legendary figure, he is still treated as a little child by the general public due to his constant annoyance, yelling, behavior, pride, personality, and also because he is currently eight years old at this time.

Everyone respects his past and history as well as his many numerous accomplishments, but they cannot help but want to avoid Nico as much as they can, due to Nico’s way of talking with others.

Nico, even with all the respects he has attained, still want more and more, and he has grown to be quite full of himself. He can’t help but to show to the world how weak they are. Nico absolutely believe he is the most powerful entity in the world, in this dimension, in this universe.

He cannot accept that there are others that could surpass him in any way. Even though, he knows about his family’s history, he believes the same will not happen to him, that he is special in some way.

Nico looks down to everyone and anything, and believes there is nothing he cannot do. He believes he is perfection itself. Even knowing the same weakness that his tribe carries in their blood is within him as well, Nico will stop at nothing to get rid of such a silly weakness from himself, and truly become what he always calls himself. A god. That is Nico Vi Luperlock.

Marytus then slowly walk towards the door and press the doorbell button. She can hear the doorbell sound from all the way outside. She knew great sum of information about Nico.

Nico is selfish, disrespects others as much as he can, challenge the Demon Emperor just to show how pathetic that demons have become and how he should be the next Demon Emperor, and complains about every little thing.

She also knew that Nico was the best bet she had. Nico follows a daily routine, and have no interest with weak individuals, therefore does not bother watching the tournament taking place.

Knowing Nico’s personality, Marytus demised that Nico would probably be at home, and that’s why she came directly here. Marytus then pressed the bell again and waited patiently for about 10 minutes or so.

“I know you are inside, Nico” yelled Marytus weakly. “I have something you might be interested in”

“Go away, peasant, I don’t want yo buy whatever good you are selling” shouted someone from inside the house.

“I am not a peasant” explained Marytus. “I am a living breathing person just like you, and you won’t be disappointed”

“And if I am……I’ll destroy you” said the voice inside the house once more, only much, much closer this time to Marytus’ location.

The door is slowly opened, and there in front of Marytus, stood a boy all in blue, with blue jeans, blue sweater, and a necklace with the Luperlock emblem in it.

“I give you thirty seconds, so make it interesting….” Explained Nico with an arrogant look on his face.

“The thing is……I have been afflicted with something…..” started Marytus. “I believe you are the only person who can help me….”

“Of course I am the ONLY person who CAN help you” repeated Nico with a snort. “People tell me that all the time, peasant, make it fast, since I don’t care about people”

“But this is a unique affliction, take a look at my health, you are genius, you should be able to sense life-force, right?” said Marytus, trying to ignore all the rude remarks that Nico was making.

“Yeah, yeah, I am not even going to bother, go away and scram like, shoo, shoo” said Nico and making a go away sign like one would make for a pet, so the pet would go away.

“I am not a PET” yelled Marytus straight at Nico’s face, and realizing what she done, she forced herself to remain calm and composed, and grit her teeth. “Please, just take a look, just a second will be all”

“Fine, fine, if it’ll make you go away” said Nico as his eyes went from green to golden yellow and examines Marytus.

“This is interesting…..very interesting……I have only ever seen this from books……this is completely different from anything I have ever come across…..Where did you get this?” asked Nico to Marytus.

“……………It’s complicated” explained Marytus.

“Tell me”

“If you promise to heal me back to normal”

“I have never tried to heal anyone from this condition……in fact……you are someone that shouldn’t even be alive……….you…….could call it a curse………..I don’t know if I can heal you but I can try…..now speak”

“So there are things that you do not know if you can accomplish!!” said Marytus, with fake surprise that managed to pass through Nico.

“What? What? What did you just say?” asked Nico. “There is NOTHING I CANNOT do, I am Nico Vi Luperlock, the greatest and the best, the Master of All, doing something like this of this tiny little level is nothing for me…….I am invincible!!”

“Ahh, thank you…..seem like I am in good hands now……..please give me a miracle…..” exclaimed Marytus, as she lost consciousness and all the flames in her body dispersed and disappeared.

“Whoa, whoa, what the hell?” said Nico out loud. “Now, how am I going to deal with this mess?”

“But seriously though……to think someone would have this ridiculously dangerous curse……..Just HOW did she get end up with it? No, not even……This is really interesting…….I was getting bored lately, who would have thought, that I would wake up one day and end up with something out of this world in one serving?” thought Nico. “Literally out of this world……..that’s for sure……”
