Chapter 659 The Demonic Force Within

Lee Seng howled as his body arched upwards. The little girl watched inquisitively as red energy oozed off of his body. The cold air distorted around Lee Seng. A familiar howl alerted the little girl, who took a step back.

"Connie, you found the Spawn." Neo spoke with a huskier tone. His eyes were wolf-like and his body radiated with a strange dark energy. He held his cane in one hand while keeping an eye on Lee Seng. "Did you put enough bullets into him so he couldn't move?"

"Not enough, I guess." Connie sighed. She holstered the gun as Lee Seng hovered in the air. Lee seng clawed at his face as the red energy swirled around his face. "Something is happening, Neo. I  don't like this. We should put him down before he does something bad."

"The Spawn's capable of giving off this much energy for a newborn?" Neo asked.

"More than that, Neo." Connie's eyes watched as the tri-colored black, silver and gold energy started to fade and was replaced with a clash of red and purple. "I think something's trying to take him over."

"Is it the actual Spawn?"

"Mmm. Doesn't look like it." Connie shook her head. "I think its something else." Lee Seng's body dropped to the floor. He stopped squirming as his body instantly relaxed. It grew quiet. Too quiet.

"We should take him while we have the chance then." Neo started forward as Connie's eyes realized what was happening.

"Neo, don't!" Connie shouted, reaching to grab him. Her small arms raised only to be cut as Neo suddenly stopped walking. Connie screamed in pain as her arm fell onto the floor. Lee Seng wasn't on the floor anymore. He was standing in front of Neo and Connie, right hand extended out like he had swiped something.

Connie freaked out, backing up as blood gushed out of her arm. 'How could a Spawn do this much damage? Is this thing stronger than me? Is that thing stronger than Neo?' She looked towards Neo who was still standing there.

Blood splattered onto the floor as Neo's energy fizzled. Connie's eyes widened as the realization hit her. The Spawn's nails were dripping with Neo's blood. Neo coughed as he moved backwards. His wounds hissed as they slowly began to heal.

"Rrrgh!" Lee Seng growled as he jumped forward. Lee Seng swung diagonally, hitting Neo's shoulder and releasing a large amount of blood that sprayed everywhere.

"Get away now, Connie!" Neo shouted. Neo's body morphed and grew furrier. He howled in pain as his wounds instantly closed. Neo had morphed into a Werewolf. He howled loudly as he rushed to meet Lee Seng. Lee seng's head was completely wrapped in red bonds as red and blue eyes burned through it. Lee Seng howled as Neo met him with intense strength. The two clawed at each other as Connie turned.

"We have a problem!" Connie shouted, running for the doors. She raised her hand up to her ear and continued to shout. "The Spawn has completely crazy! He cut my arm off in one hit and managed to injure Neo! We need help!" A blast of energy hit Connie in the back, sending her through the doors, smashing into the wall.

Neo punched Lee Seng in the face, sending him backwards as he howled. Four spectral images of werewolves appeared. The five Werewolves rushed Lee Seng, hitting and clawing Lee Seng in succession. Neo thrusted his hand straight for Lee Seng's heart. He wasn't going to take any chances. If he killed the Spawn, Michael could simply stitch him back within time.

Lee Seng's tails whipped wildly, pinning Neo's killing blow hand in place as a roar released. Neo's arms ripped off as the spectral Werewolves and Neo flew backwards. Lee Seng threw the arm away, pulling his tails back as he turned.

"Fuck!" Neo growled. Energy wrapped around his ripped off arm, instantly healing back the arm. "This one's too dangerous! I'll have to kill it before it kills me!" Neo the Werewolf slammed his paws together, weaving hand signs as a magical circle grew around him. "Howling: Ferocious Tundra!" A blast of cold energy lashed outwards from Neo. A cold aura of artic wolves flew out of Neo, crashing straight for Lee Seng.

"Prison Cell." Six metal pillars crashed around Lee Seng as the artic wolves crashed downwards as metallic bars slammed shut, negating the attack. Neo instantly turned to look for the spell user, locking eyes with a black bald woman.

"Neo, dear, if you're going to have the intent to kill then you should leave this to the professionals." The bald woman spoke. A black shadow pulled off of her shadow, revealing a black man with crew cut hair.

"Leave it to us, Neo. We'll secure the Spawn." The black man told him. Neo growled at the sight of the man and looked over to the woman.

"Wysteria. Virgil, what're you doing here? I thought you were on a mission for the Queen!" Neo barked. It was clear to Virgil and Wysteria that Neo had an opinion about Virgil.

"Neo, now's not the time, darling." Wysteria spoke. She appeared in front of the cage as the demonic Lee Seng furiously slammed against the Prison Cell. "This is the Spawn, correct? The one Master had specifically said to leave alone?" Wysteria looked over at Neo who turned away. Virgil sauntered over to Wysteria and tilted his head.

"I don't see what they see in this one. He's feral. Like someone we know." Virgil looked at Wysteria.

"Now's not the time for jokes, Gil. We have work to do. Take him away." Wysteria ordered.

"Yes, my lady." Virgil bowed.

"What're you doing with him? Queen wants him here!" Neo shouted, rushing forward. Virgil sighed and turned, summoning a large sword. The sword pointed straight at Neo's neck, glinting in silver, blue and gold. Neo stopped short of the blade, growling as Virgil held it there.

"Your self-proclaimed Queen needs to listen to the Master's words. You are to leave this one alone and let us handle it. He's the truth all Deimons will need." Virgil told Neo.

"Self-proclaimed? Ha! She's the strongest of all of us!" Neo shouted. The large sword moved closer to Neo's neck. Neo instinctively backed up, afraid the sword would touch him.

"That's right doggy. You don't like silver so obey." Virgil smiled.

"Enough." Wysteria looked at the two of them. "Virgil, do it now. We need to bring him to the Master before the Biohumans appear and see everything that's happened."

"Yes, Lady Wysteria. As you command." Vergil released the silver sword and turned to face the Prison Cell with the demonic Lee Seng. "It's time to go, Fox." He stuck out two fingers and watched the entire Prison Cell with Lee Seng vanish into his shadow.

"Let's go." Wysteria ordered.

It was havoc within Lee Seng's own mind. He could barely keep up with the energy that was holding him down by his neck. He gasped for air as the demonic energy pulled him further and further away from the Oasis. It was the easiest way to get control of his body back without fighting whatever was trying to possess him.

The red energy tossed him backwards, giving Lee Seng a glimpse of what was waiting for him. It was a red and black energy Fox. It stood at six feet, minimum with large tails that fluttered chaotically around it. A red, blue and purple set of three eyes looked at Lee Seng as he pulled himself up. It roared at him, rushing straight for him.

It slammed against him before Lee Seng could even act, tossing him to the side as he held him with its tails and pulled him into it. Its jaws opened too wide for any normal creature and roared as its hot breath pushed against Lee Seng.

Lee Seng squirmed trying to muster up any strength to fight off the monster. Any resistance was quickly met with the monster slamming Lee Seng back into place.

"To think it would be this easy." Eleven chuckled. He appeared off to the side, behind the monster and smiled at Lee Seng. "You really thought I turned a new leaf? You're stupid to think that people should be given second chances. That's why I should be the one who takes over your body… and thanks to this mutt, I will once it takes you out with it!"

A red tail whipped out, hitting Eleven and sending him flying. The tail jerked after Eleven, splitting into tinier tails as it tried to capture Eleven. Eleven threw up a barrier, watching it shatter in an instant as his arms were bounded tightly by the creature. Eleven yelped as he was pulled straight towards the monster.

"Let me go!" Eleven erupted in cosmic energy. The demonic Fox's energy pulled the cosmic energy into it, pulling Eleven faster towards it. It turned its head and opened its jaws and bit down onto Eleven. Eleven's body went slack, blood pouring as the purple energy began to seep into the monster.

"N-no…" Lee Seng gasped. "Please… Let me go!" The demonic fox slammed Lee Seng against the wall of the Soul world and roared in his face as Eleven's upper torso spilled from its mouth. "Help!"
