“What an interesting human you are,” An armless demoness with her long black hair that acted as her arms wrapped Nagy’s neck and lifted her up in the air. The face of the demoness was covered with her grey hair and only a wide lipless mouth could be seen on her face. “Are you the only one? It would be boring if I kill you right now,”
Nagy was thrown away to the outside of the tower and she rolled over with injuries all over her body. Her light armor was broken and fell off from her body which looked like it was being hit by sharp objects.
Vincze saw Nagy was laying on the ground and didn’t move a muscle. “Nagy!” Vincze ran toward her and turned her body around. She was unconscious and Vincze didn’t know what happened to her until he looked at the gate and saw the skinny armless demon with grey hair covering her face and the hair moved on its own.
The demoness walked down the stair with her bare feet and she was staggering as she walked toward them. It gave them an eerie feeling as if they were watching a ghost in a horror movie because of the worn-out long dress that she wore, not to mention the lipless mouth and sharp teeth that she had.
“Well, well, well, look at these humans,” The demoness said and it surprised them because it was the first time they heard a demon speak. “What should I do with these many humans, how long has it been since I saw a human this many,”
“Who are you?” Vincze held his spear so tightly as he glared at the demoness. “Are you the one who did this to her?”
The demoness tilted her head and pointed her face at Vincze but then she started laughing hysterically and ran toward him.
Knowing that Vincze put Nagy in danger by staying next to her, he moved to the other side as the demoness started to use her hair to attack him. He was surprised when he noticed that her hair was her weapon and every strand of her hair was sharp like a razor that his left gauntlet got cut so easily.
Vincze swung his spear to repel the demoness’ hair then he thrust his spear on the demoness’s body. Oddly enough, the demoness didn’t try to dodge or block it, she took the hit to show how different her power was to him.
“How pathetic,” The demoness said as she looked at her chest where Vincze stabbed his spear at. “It doesn’t even cut through my flesh,”
The demoness chuckled as Vincze tried to push the spear deeper into the demoness’s body, but suddenly the demoness stopped chuckling. She looked down and she felt a warm feeling in her chest then it got hotter and hotter that the demoness started to scream and pushed Vincze away with her hair.
“What’s this?!” The demoness was shocked as she held her chest and started screaming in pain and annoyance. “That spear! That spear has divine power! Where did you get that spear?! A human like you shouldn’t be able to possess that spear!”
Vincze looked at his spear and it was the spear that Mykel gave him, the spear from the first demon lord in Lucifer tower, Estrel. Since Estrel was a fallen angel, everything that he possessed had divine power in it and it was powerful against demons.
“It seems that you’re the only one who can hurt me here,” The demoness said and Vincze could see the skin of the demoness was blackened because of the divine power. “I should take care of you first,”
Vincze knew even though he could hurt the demoness, he was no match for her because Nagy was superior compared to him. If she was easily defeated and caught, he had no chance not to mention every strand of hair of the demoness was dangerous enough to kill him.
“Are you planning to run away? I won’t let you!” The demoness ran toward Vincze.
The other Awakeners were still busy dealing with the demons so he was on his own, but at least Nagy was taken to the back so he had no worries on his shoulders.
Vincze kept the distance between him and the demoness while he kept swinging his spear at her. The problem was that her hair was longer than his spear that which made him impossible to reach her body. He could use [Harmony] but he needed to find out what the demoness was capable of doing before he tried to fight her.
Every swing and stab of the demoness’s hair were enough to split the ground and break it. He had to be careful because the demoness used a single strand of hair to shackle his legs and he was lucky enough to notice it.
“You can’t run forever,” The demoness chuckled and suddenly every single hair of her went up. Vincze was shocked when the demoness had no eyelids and her red eyes with her pupils moving unsynchronized from one with another made him uncomfortable.
The demoness’ hair expanded and he knew at that moment he had to use [Harmony] to run away from her.
When Vincze thought he was free from the demoness, he saw the expressions of the soldiers. They were all terrified at something behind him, and the moment he turned around, he saw the demoness use her hair as her legs and she followed him with her body hanging floating in the air as she laughed frantically.
“What a fucking nightmare,” Vincze said with goosebumps all over his body.
The demoness was catching up on Vincze but the soldiers started to fire at her and prevented her from grabbing his body with her hair.
Since the demoness only targeted Vincze, he knew what to do and that was to play around with her until Nagy woke up. He couldn’t fight the demoness on his own and he could only use [Harmony] skill one more time and that wouldn’t be enough to fight her.
“What a nuisance!” The demoness grunted and immediately turned around to deal with the soldiers.
Vincze looked at the demoness and when he was about to approach her, the back of her hair was still chasing him and tried to grab his body. He couldn’t do anything but watch her block the bullets with her hair that she wrapped around her body which looked like a cocoon.
“How are we supposed to fight that demon if she could protect herself with hair?” Vincze said and watched the demoness slice the soldiers into many pieces with her hair. “If only Rozan is here, we might be able to fight her,”
The tanks were cut into pieces and there was nothing they could do to stop the demoness but to run away. The fire couldn’t burn her hair as if it was made from something else, and more people died because of her.
“Fuck it, I can’t just stand here and do nothing,” Vincze said and then charged toward the demoness.
“How predictable, you humans are so sentimental,” The demoness turned her head to the back like an owl as she stared at Vincze with a grin on her face. “Come! I will kill you!”
Vincze activated [Harmony] again and thrust his spear at the demoness but suddenly hundreds of hairs stabbed him from behind and pierced through his chest. She planted her hair under the ground and it looked like a root, she could control them whenever she wanted and Vincze fell right into her trap.
Vincze was shocked and saw the hair start to wrap his body around him. The weirdest part was that he didn’t feel any pain because of how soft and thin the hair was as he felt nothing but a tingling feeling in his body.
“Let’s see, what should I do with you?” The demoness said with a big smile on her face. “Maybe I can make you one of my marionettes,”
“Hey, pubic hair!” A familiar voice could be heard from behind the demoness and Vincze started to smile.
“Thank God he came at the right time,” Vincze said and started coughing blood.
The demoness turned around and saw Rozan, Gunnar, Gerrard, and Lillith standing next to each other and stared at her. Nagy was also with them and stood right behind them, Vincze was glad that everyone was there and not just Rozan.
“Guys! Be careful-” Vincze coughed blood and it started to take a toll on his body because of the internal bleeding.
Rozan could feel the hair underneath them because he could feel every element around him and that included the earth under his feet.
“Don’t worry, Vincze, we came to the rescue. Just hang in there,” Rozan said as he swung his staff and burned the hair underneath him.
The demoness glared at Rozan as she gritted her teeth. “You dare to burn my precious hair!”
Rozan smirked and then a helicopter flew right above them and something was falling down right in front of Gunnar. It was the giant burning sword that the demon used, Gunnar grabbed it with both of his hands and swung it around.
Gunnar looked up and it was Zherlthsh who threw the sword down.
“It’s time to trim your ugly ass hair,” Gunnar said as he glared at the demoness.
