Chapter 10: Voltaire

The pain is still welling in my gut where the punch hits me but I endured it. The demon is slowly approaching, licking his lips in anticipation. I am getting rusty in battle I guess. I shouldn't have provoked this f*cking demon from his meal even though it might lead to a different outcome. If I did, I might not be in the middle of this mess. Gathering all the strength I can still muster up in my body, I activated the flames in my gloves again. I know that it barely gives damage to this demon at the moment but if it is damaging him, I can still do it and hit him slowly until Voltaire arrived. I guess I need to visit my master again in martial arts and practice again. If I can get out of here alive.

"Now, time for my side dish..."

"Hmph, I am not a side dish nor any kind of dish because you will become charcoal! Fireball!" I hurled out a fist-sized fireball into the demon. Of course, the demon couldn't bother to dodge an attack that barely attacks him with pain.

"A pity, that was just something that tickles me."

Bastard. He totally looks down on me. I am weak but I refuse to just die here. Even when the blood is still dripping from my mouth, I didn't mind and forced my legs to move. Good thing that the nerves on my legs did not get strained in pain, which means, I can use it again. He raised his hand and from the looks of it, he is trying to squash my head. Before his red hands can grab me, I made a dash to the other side and escaped his hands. He grabbed nothing but air.

I managed to avoid his attack but that move I made is something akin to a double-edged sword. Due to my injury in my abdomen, excessive battles like what I just did right now can result in further pain. Due to my dash, I spit out a mouthful of blood, causing me to grit my teeth. Where is the backup now?

"You aren't going anywhere! I will eat you!"

The pain still lingered to my body so even if I tried dodging, I won't escape in time. As I try to prepare for my counterattack, a beast similar to a wolf appeared. The only thing is that this wolf is glowing blue in its white fur with blue lines. It is also being circled around with electricity. The wolf creature attacked the demon at lightning speed. The demon did not get to understand what was happening and where did that monster came from. Only one thing is sure for the demon, he felt the pressure and danger he was in right now. However, backing out is cowardly, that is why the demon will is surely not going to back out. The demon and the wolf started fighting without even giving any resistance to each other. They have gone all out on this one.

As I was spectating on the demon and the wolf creature's battle when a hand rested on my shoulders.

"You are the young blood of the magicians right? Moonlight already tested your skills and since she didn't drop out any negative thoughts on you, she might have found something that interests her from you?"

I looked at the person talking and realized that a dashing man with weird violet-colored hair appeared beside me and observes the battle on my side. Who is this guy? Is this Voltaire? He must be since he mentioned Moonlight. He didn't remove his gaze from the demon, fighting against the wolf. It was like he is scrutinizing the demon.

"A level 3 demon huh? From the looks of it, he already managed to consume at least 5 humans which means it included his disguise. What a dangerous fellow. This guy is not that strong for my familiar but if it's you, you might end up as another costume for that demon if you are defeated. If I didn't arrive on time, you might be dead."

"Hmph, you took your damn time, I almost died stalling that demon."

"Wow, sharp tongue for a young guy like you, I like that, frank and straight. Anyways, it was hard getting here as fast as I can you know. I literally need to run above the bullet train and travel through power lines ya know? I am not from the neighborhood anyways so you know it already."

Now that he mentions it, he told in the chat that he is a bit far from the vicinity of Shibuya since he is hunting something. However, why would he go and rescue me if he is far from his location?

Voltaire looked at me and rubs his chin. "You are thinking why I saved you even though I was far from you, right?"

"Uh..." Did he have magic for reading minds?

"No."

"..." F*cker, you are clearly answering my questions that I did not blurt out!

"Now you are cursing for clearly answering your questions right? No worries, I am just guessing. I don't have clairvoyance magic anyway so that was pretty impossible for me. But if you are always interacting with demons disguising as humans every day, you will eventually learn the way to read other people's minds without using magic."

While we are talking, I heard the demon howled in pain. I returned my gaze back to the battle and saw that the demon is groaning in pain while clutching his severed left arm using his bloody right arm. His severed arm, on the other hand, is already far from the main body of the demon. The demon is desperately trying to get the other arm back but the wolf did not give him a chance and tackled him off the way or the wolf would drag the severed arm further away from the demon.

"Demons cannot regenerate limbs but they can reattach their severed limbs except for the head. So if they got severed, do not let them have the severed part of them back. Burn them or get rid of them, anything that can prevent them from reattaching their limb would do."

That was pretty severe even for a demon. I never expected that they have high regenerative abilities as long as their severed limbs are still around. So basically, they can be immortal if they are not killed from decapitating their heads right? This is pretty similar to Kimetsu no Yaiba.

"The demons can still be killed even if you didn't decapitate them. By crushing their hearts, mincing them to pieces, burning them with fire magic alive, tortured without fail in magic and physical abuse, different kinds of method is always in there."

Oh sh*t, those are all brutal sh*ts. I kind of pity the demons right now though. But it was a momentary feeling, I looked at the demon and the wolf and this time around, the demon is already missing all of its limbs.

"Inazuma, kill the poor guy. We don't need to keep him get tortured here. He will be judged in the Gehenna anyways and get tortured by endless pain, we don't need to add anything from his suffering," Voltaire said to the wolf.

Inazuma, the wolf quickly howled before opening its mouth. As soon as the mouth of Inazuma is wide open, a blue, electrifying shock of electricity appeared from his mouth. The demon wriggled from the sight that his snot and tears are mixed up already as he tried to get away from us. Before he can even move several centimeters far, the electric ball fired from the mouth straight to the demon.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
