Main Dungeon Upper Ground

January 3, 1811 A.D.

1:45:02 AM

Men in black suits were beheaded one by one as the crickets clittered. The silent assault was like a black mist where the person who got engulfed would find his head, shock and petrified, on the surface. Some of them were focusing their attacks on the two escaped Quoe monsters that caused a bloody and costly attack on their base. They were losing a lot of men because of the deadly chemicals it's releasing from them.

But another beast was unleashed upon them. He’s mad and lust for blood. His eyes were covered with black omen and his eyelids turning red. His nerves from his face were showing up as his blade sliced the living Verdugo forces blocking his way. He’s the self-proclaimed most loyal servant of Hermes Archnemesis. His name was Justin.

“Sir, there’s a black butler coming after us!” said the bald one, but his head got eaten by the Quoe before he could get his captain’s reply.

“Son of bitches.” the captain angrily shouted, shooting the Quoe monsters through their head. “Just die!”

The poor captain was sliced into two, drops of blood spouted like a foundation, through the hand of Justin before the monsters ate the corpse. Justin looked for more victims, ignoring the two monsters who always followed his back. The two carnivorous creatures were interested in his scheme because he was helping them to eat freely.

The armored vehicles , which transports reinforcements and supplies to their allies, parked at the site got wrecked, by the cold armored-shelled body of the monsters swarmed. On his hunting ground, Justin had sniffed the blood of innocent civilians and tyrant soldiers coming from the direction of the four districts.

Justin wanted an act of revenge. A revenge where he would give as an accommodating gift to his Don. He’s mad because he was not around to defend him and unable to protect his master. Being captured alive before he could notice annoyed him. He thanked the blonded maid who freed him his prison magic cell where a magic barrier sealed his body in a comatose state. He bit his lips as he recalled those embarrassing event.

Now, Justin sensed his master got hurt. His forbidden spell triggered, [Amato Capo]. It was a forbidden spell he created as an emergency awakening if he’s boss got severely injured. The side effect to its host would boost his stamina for more 150%, increased his mana capacity exceeding 200% and his loyalty increased for more than 1000%. But he would reluctantly be lost a lot of blood and soul capacity residing his body so, in order to sustain his stability, he must kill more than a hundred living creatures while in the hunting mode with evil intent.

He almost killed more than forty-five men for the last 5 minutes. He’s reaching his limits but his rage was still jumped in it. The surface under him was shaking. He jumped out from the location when it blasted some portion of rocks and specks of dust. A man in a white suit was fighting his way to breaking loose from the teeth of the Quoe monsters.

Justin recognized his face. This gave him more reason to enrage. His mana showed dark particles above his shoulders. With the word [Strike], the particles transformed into a laser beam and flew towards the man. The man saw the coming light and used his right hand to block it while using his left hand to escape from the monster. However, the spell was too strong which both of the creature and the man blew from the explosion.

The man was Mattheus Dante. He was surprised by the attack.

His body was luckily survived because the Quoe monster was badly hurt from the attack. Matthues used its teeth as his shield but his left hand was severely injured. His left sleeves turned red because of his blood.

He was pissed from the attack of the certain person.

The Quoe monters provoked to strike Justin when they witnessed their former sibling got shot down. But Justin, annoyed, used again the same spell and shot down both the blood-sucking monsters. Matthues was surprised. The attack he gave way was really powerful than his current powerful tier spell. As the clouds were cleared and the moon shone up. Mattheus clearly recognized the individual in front of him.

“... J,Justin” he said, surprisingly.

“Oh,” Justin shooked his gloves to get rid the dust, “Y’ know me?”

“.. Heh,” Mattheus muttered, “To think you’ve escaped!”

“Why’re you surprise and angry?” Justin mockingly folded his arm, chined up and smiled. “I don’t want to tell you.”

“To think such a person like you will escape.” He bit his lips, “First your boss and now you? Just how many fuckers are you? Who’s helping you guys?”

Justin stuck his small finger through his ears and ignored him. “Don’t know.”

“As the Underboss of the Verdugo family, you are supposedly under detention!”

“So,” Justin suddenly disappeared from his position, a huge dark mist appeared in front of Mattheus. “Are you the one who hurt my boss?”

“What?” the last word he said when a powerful blast caught Mattheus off guard. He was pushed back but he was able to block it by his fortification spell.

“H,H, how did you know?”

“So you’re the one!” A large particle transformed into beam appeared from his shoulders and shoot brutally Mattheus.

Mattheus retaliated. He used some spells to counter it like fireballs but it was futile. He tried to appear in one glance to Justin’s right side like what he used against the poor and weak young Don, Hermes, but Justin only blocked his fist by his finger. The most annoying part of his entire life was Justin yawned when he countered him by only a sneeze. Mattheus was pushed back.

He asked himself how a person like him too powerful than him. He, who studied hard, killed thousand people was unable to scratch him.

Justin sniffed his hands when he noticed the familiar scent.

“My beloved Don’s scent.” Justin released more aura darker than before. “You!” His eyes turned black and gave Mattheus a bad feeling.

In one word of his forbidden spell, [First Forbidden Dark Magic: Beloved Don’s Scents is so Good!]. The particles were merging into his pointing finger and he released it with a pure bloodlust. Like a gun, he continuously shooting him without giving him a second chance to counter-attack.

The white underboss used his powerful shield spells to block the attacks for two minutes.

“Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this!” yelled Justin, while happily releasing his laser beams.

Mattheus was planning to wait until he exhausted his mana for the last five minutes. However, his expectation exceeded it when he found out he’s the one who was losing too much mana from the beginning.

“Oh, you’ve finally noticed, you motherfuckin’ pedo! The more I attack you, the more I drain more mana from you!” explained Justin, while continuously shooting him while boisterously laughing.

“Are you a villain?” Mattheus was petrified. He recalled from the warning of his acquaintance that Justin was a former mercenary of the lost Empire. He was a demon in human form. He’s the person he didn’t want to fight because he drained your mana and soul.

He made a wrong move to fight him. Now, he was released. This demon would surely hunt him down.

“I got to escape!” He jumped out and dodged the beams but his legs got hit. “Aaaah!”

Justin laughed. “Scream! Scream more! That’s the spirit. Let me drain your mana and send your soul to my citadel as my meal! Convert you into my new mana!”

Mattheus recalled the warning of his acquaintance again.

‘Whatever you do. Don’t let this man escape from this prison.’ said the woman wearing a cloak.

‘Why? He’s too weak. I thought he is stronger than me but you easily got him.’ he replied, folded his arm while looking at Justin’s unconscious state.

‘Oh, I’m just lucky because he’s a demon. But remember this, your war efforts and other achievements might disappear someday if this man escapes. Especially, if you don’t kill the last heir of the Archnemesis family, your ambitions will just perish.’

‘Yeah yeah...’

Now, he's seeing it to himself. She was not lying and bluffing about him.

“Damn it, I don’t want to die!” Mattheus ran like a helpless child. He escaped via a car nearby. “I want to see my beloved Donna. I don’t want to die in this state! I want to marry her!” He pushed the gas and the wheel rolled towards the next district.

Mattheus needed to warn everyone about the upcoming catastrophe. He needed to escape away from him. Save his life before the others.

“No one has ever escaped from me. I will find you, I will chase and I will kill you.” Justin justified. He flew and followed the car. “May your soul be mine.”
