My Demon Hunting System

Chapter 30: Ary's parents were murdered?!

"Grrr..."

While standing on alert, everyone gazed at the Demonic Beast.

A Demonic Beast appeared in front of them, yet for some unknown reason, he didn't seem to attack them.

While Ary, Mike, Erica, and others were panicked, Kashi, on the contrary, seemed to gaze at the Demonic Beast with an indignant expression.

"What are you doing here?"

Kashi called out, still on guard.

"Are you an Ultimate Warrior?"

The Demonic Beast called out while gazing at Kashi with his red eyes. He didn't notice Ary's presence there.

"He can talk?!"

Emily, Mike, and Mary freaked out in surprise after seeing that the Demonic Beast started talking.

While Ary and Erica were gazing at them without a sign of surprise or anything.

Ary had already known this since he faced Lord Wolfra and Erica, for some unknown reason, just gazing at the Demonic Beast.

"Yes, I am."

Kashi replied, still on alert.

It was normal for him to be on alert since the demonic beast in front of him was an H-ranked beast.

If you compared Kashi's rank with the beast, then you'll understand that they were pretty much on the same level, but since the ranking between Warriors and Demons was different, it was a little difficult to compare.

"Hmmm...fine then."

The Demonic Beast took a breath and started taking long breaths.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE! Unexpectedly, the ground started trembling as if his breathing affected the area.

"That beast!"

Kashi yelled in outrage, then he glanced at Ary and others and commanded,

"Guard yourself!"

"Got it!"

Ary replied, then he glanced at Erica to signal her to create a shield around them.

She nodded as she received his message and raised her Asrael and called out,

"Covered us!"

And a green shield appeared around her, which not only covered her but engulfed Mike, Emily, and Mary as well, while Kashi ran toward the demonic beast.

"I'm sick of you, Warriors..."

In a low yet terrifying voice, the Demonic Beast commented, then in the next moment, he opened his jaws and, with a swift speed, the fire started collecting on his jaws with a speed just double the way it did with Wolfra and his minions.

Kashi jumped high to launch his attack on the beast.

"Fool!"

The demonic beast ranted, and the next moment,

"RAAAAARRRRR!!!!"

He fired the beam at Kashi. Nonetheless, Kashi swung his blade, commanding,

"Wind Blade–6 silhouettes!"

Swish!

The air began to collect around him, and with a swung of his blade, he cut the beam in half, but the beam darted, didn't hurt him, but destroyed the valley behind him.

Thud!

Kashi landed on the ground and jumped backward.

"RARRRRR!!"

Yet the beast wasn't giving up. He launched his claw attack at Kashi, and while jumping to dodge the attack, Kashi called out,

"Seven Strikes of Death!"

And swung his blade at the leg area of the beast, and as expected, seven strikes cut the leg of the beast.

"GRRAAAAAA!!!"

In agony, the beast roared.

"Curse you, Warriors!!!!"

He started screaming with his full might, and so the air around him started becoming dense and the wind started blowing at a swift speed.

While covering himself, Ary mumbled,

"Damn that beast, the pressure is so much here."

Even Ary, who was resistant to dense surroundings, started feeling suffocated a little.

He glanced at Kashi and, with a thought that he would support him, he ran toward the beast.

And again, the demonic beast opened his jaws, and this time, a purple plasma ball started collecting on his jaws, and within a second, he targeted Kashi and roared,

"Just Die, Warrior!!!!!"

SWISH!!

With a swishing sound, the beam darted at Kashi, and in response, Kashi tightened his blade, ready to attack.

However,

"Dark Scar of Death!!!"

With a roar, Ary swung his blade, and a black-colored shockwave from his blade darted at the beam and cut it in half with an explosion.

"Hmm? Ary?"

Kashi called out after seeing Ary appear there.

"Senior, let's defeat him together."

Ary said in a determined voice.

"Huh?"

At first, Kashi wanted to deny his request because of the danger, but after seeing his determined look, he sighed and held tight to his blade, remarking,

"Good then, let's overthrow him together."

"Huh? That boy..."

The Demonic Beast called out as he noticed Ary. He seemed to remember something.

"Hiyaaaah!"

However, Kashi, who didn't want to waste time, attacked the beast.

It hit the right claws of the beast.

"RARRRRR!!!!"

The Demonic Beast started roaring as he started to lose his cool.

And because of outrage, he launched his claw attack and fire attack at them together, claw at Kashi and fire beam at Ary.

Kashi jumped and launched his wind attack with his blade at the Demonic Beast.

Meanwhile, Ary jumped and swung his blade at the beast, yelling,

"Water Blade!!"

With a swung of his blade, a massive amount of water splashed at the beast, extinguishing its fire beam.

"WUAH!!"

The beast responded as water entered his nose and mouth, causing suffocation due to excess water in his nose and mouth.

"Heh!"

With a victorious smile, Ary jumped back.

However,

"Wha?!"

He responded as he landed on the muddy ground.

"Wait a minute, is that—Ary run!!!"

Kashi reacted as he noticed something was off and yelled at Ary, telling him to run.

Nevertheless, before Ary could react,

"Demise!!!!!"

The Demon Beast yelled with a mad smile, and from the mud, the plasma beam got off where Ary was standing.

"Wha–AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!"

With an anguished roar, Ary knelt.

His jacket got ripped off and both ends of his jeans (right and left) got torn off. Luckily, the book of Almita didn't get a single burn by the beam, yet Ary got brutally injured.

He knelt on the ground. There was blood all over his limbs and two scrapes on his cheeks.

Cough!

He coughed up a bowl of blood due to the injury.

"Huh?!"

Kashi was left mystified after seeing that. He hadn't noticed that ambush attack from the Demonic Beast.

He glanced at the Demonic Beast in anger while gritting his teeth.

"Ary!!"

Out of panic, Erica, while vanishing the shield around them, ran toward Ary, and so Mike and others ran toward him as well.

"Huh? Ary?"

The Demonic Beast halted after hearing "Ary."

"Ary, are you okay? Let me heal you."

Erica arrived beside Ary and said while showing her staff to Ary to heal him.

"Let me help."

Mary said as they both started healing Ary.

"Ary...?"

The Demonic Beast mumbled then he glanced at Ary and asked.

"Are you...Ary Inochi?"

"Huh?"

Ary reacted, while shivering.

"Huh?"

Erica reacted after glimpsing that the Demonic Beast knew Ary.

"How did he know him?"

Emily mumbled with a puzzled expression.

"Strange."

Mary reacted with a confined look.

On the other hand, Mike, while looking at Ary with an amazing look, pondered,

'Man, my bro is even famous among demons. Great.'

Ary glanced at the Demonic Beast with his right eye (since he failed to open his left eye due to injury) and replied,

"Yes, I am."

While Kashi stepped toward Ary and gave a cold gaze to the Demonic Beast, he stood his hand vertically in front of Ary to guard him and asked the Demonic Beast,

"How did you know him?"

His voice was cold as ice.

After realising that it was Ary, Demonic Beast was left in a daze, saying,

"It can't be possible. You may be some other Ary Inochi, but not the Ary Inochi I know! That boy had already been slaughtered by my lord!"

"Huh?!"

Kashi was left confused over the Demonic Beast's reaction.

"The Demon King..."

Kashi mumbled as he understood who was the Lord that the Demonic Beast was referring to.

"What do you mean?"

Ary asked, as if he didn't understand what the demonic beast was talking about.

"Are you...the son of James and Mina?"

The Demonic Beast asked.

"Huh?!"

Kashi reacted as if he understood something.

SLASH!

He launched a slice attack at the beast, commenting,

"Don't you dare say their name from your filthy mouth!"

The attack didn't hurt much, but the Demonic Beast got enraged.

"Are you willing to court death, you brat!"

Then, he launched a claw attack on Kashi.

While they restarted fighting, Ary, who had just heard the names, was left in a daze. He didn't know the name of his parents but after hearing those names, a feeling of nostalgia ran down his body. He started feeling weird.

"James...Mina..."

He mumbled, unexpectedly, and his head started to ache to him.

"Ah!!! What's...wrong...?!"

Ary mumbled as he grabbed his head.

"Ary!!"

"Bro!"

Out of concern for him, Erica, Mike, Emily, and Mary stepped forward.

"My parents...."

Ary mumbled while closing his eyes because of the headache that he was suffering from.

Abruptly, he started hearing so many voices in his head.

"You bastard!!!"

"Leave my sister-in-law, you bastard!!"

"Ary, run!!"

"Goodbye, my Son..."

"Ah?!"

Ary reacted while opening his eyes wide as he remembered what happened on the day of the car accident.
