Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 9: Need Backup!

My aim is off. Instead of the demon, the rock landed on the girl instead. I slap my forehead from the outcome. I am in serious trouble right now.

"Who dares to interrupt me on my meal!?"

Oh boy, the big one is angry. I have no idea what to do this time around. I stay hidden in the bushes without revealing myself. Why the heck would I reveal myself? I am not an idiot!

"You are making this one angry. Show yourself and I will give you a painless death."

See, if I show myself, death awaits, why would I do that?

The demon stood up, his face no longer resembles his former expression. It was a twisted expression that anyone would never want to see. I am inexperienced in battle against demons. Only one thing to do...

Call for Backup!

While the demon is still trying to find the assailant, I pulled out my phone and quickly opened the chat group. I scrolled around the names and finally, I found Moonlight's name since she is the only one I know at the moment. I quickly typed into the screen while trying to keep my eye from the demon and to the screen of my phone.

"Need backup! I already found the demon and it is trying to find me because I interrupted his meal! This is Kazuma!"

I quickly sent it to her via private message instead of in the chat. Before I can even wait for the backup to arrive, the demon appeared and found me.

"Got you..."

Hearing that, I quickly punched the demon squarely in the face without any restraint. I didn't activate my flames because it takes a lot of toll to me if I use it without concentration.

PENG!

The demon staggered from the unsuspected punch that I released to his face. He roared in anger since the pain registered to his skin. He never expected someone to fight back instead of cowering in fear.

"F*CK! Tremble in fear!"

"Shut up, demon sh*t!" I shouted before running away from the demon.

"Coward!"

I didn't bother looking back, if I died here, it is pointless for me to be heroic. I activated the flames in my Blazing Shoes and use it to boost my speed in running. Good thing there are no people or else I am wrecked by the magicians. While running, my phone received a voice message. This time, it came from a guy named Voltaire.

"Yo, just hang in there, I will be coming in there soon. So, in the meantime, stall him and don't let him get near on humans, alright? Don't go dying on me, newbie."

Looks like Moonlight is the one who called this guy named Voltaire but heck, I need to stall this guy? I don't think I can last against this guy! When I punched him earlier in surprise, my fist felt like it punched to a solid wall. I didn't feel any muscle, it was like concrete. Good thing the gloves managed to suck in most of the damage repelled back to me. Since I need to stall this guy until the backup arrives, then I have to make sure that this battle won't appear to the eyes of the public. Chaos and trouble will get brewed up in this area if that was the case. Then, another voice mail arrived.

"If you want the battle to be a secret, put your hands together like you are in a prayer, channel your mana in between your palms and shout "Mirror World." That way you can fight without any hindrances."

Is that so? Maybe that was the barrier used by Moonlight earlier on the rooftop where she didn't even care if anyone below the rooftop noticed the commotion or not. Although I have no idea about how to channel the mana that I don't really know if it existed in my body, I put my hands together and focused. It was a quick feel but when I felt something get triggered from my palm, I quickly shouted the words.

"MIRROR WORLD!"

Crack! Crack!

All of a sudden, the surroundings started to crack like how a mirror does whenever the one breaks. The demon nervously looked around as the surroundings cracked faster and faster. Seeing this, I didn't waste my time to dawdle, I quickly throw a fireball to the demon.

BANG!

The demon staggered and his long hair quickly turned to ashes causing him to get bald.

"F*CKER! My precious hair!"

This guy... I shook my head and run away from the area. The cracks stopped before exploding to pieces and the whole place returned to normal. However, I can see that the real world seems oblivious to what was happening. The demon also realized that the cracks are nothing but some sort of effect, therefore, he quickly chases me to me in frenzy. He roared and started running in all fours.

"Stop chasing!"

"I will eat you for interrupting my meal!"

"I don't taste good! I am skinny!"

"Then that is much better! Less cholesterol!"

"Eat this then!" and shows him my middle finger.

He chased me all around the place. I am not so athletic but if the situation calls for it, I can keep on running without stopping for a rest just to escape the danger. I sometimes throw flames to his direction once in a while but whenever I do it, I get more tired than usual which is pretty bad for me. I had to keep on running around while the demon continues to chase me. Then, I was finally cornered on an alley.

"Now you can't run away from me. You can't run from a wall anyway." the demon said, revealing his red skin and his true appearance.

"Hmph, I am not just going to get killed here," I summoned my flames immediately and made a stance to fight."

"Ha, flames do not bother me too much. I am resistant to flames anyway so why would I be afraid?" the demon grinned and started running towards me.

I didn't falter and throw one of the fireballs to the demon's direction while keeping the flames in my left hand still burning in flames.

BANG! BANG!

Explosions occurred one after another. Of course, I did not stay in the fight. With the smoke from the flames earlier present in the scene, I decided to use it to my advantage. Running away from the demon's grasp, I made a dashing sprint while the demon is coughing from the smoke. However, I miscalculated and before I can even pass through him, he throws a punch to my direction, causing me to get sent flying. The punch was strong causing me to get pinned into the wall. I didn't expect that to happen to me. The punch was strong and it was like I got hit by a wrecking ball and I felt like all my intestines were turned upside down. I vomited blood and I almost collapse in pain. I still managed to stay awake without passing out from the pain. If I ever passed out, I am sure it is my dead end.

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