Chapter 14 The Scythe One Victory!

Elena had a small green leaf in her hands which she used to rub the little scratches on Deka's body.

The leaf was normally used to heal injuries and stop poisons, but for some reason, it wasn't given a name, this was due to the fact that few people knew about it.

"Is this okay?" Elena asked, rubbing the leaf on the small cut that was eating on Deka's face.

He smiled before taking the leaf from her hand and rubbing it himself, "Thank you, Elena." He muttered, but his sadden look was still eating on him.

Elena stood up and couldn't help but stare at the Scythe Sato gave Deka, she picked it up with a curious look on her face.

"Chief… I don't feel right doing this." She uttered as she turned to face the chief who was seated on the ground.

"What do you mean?" The red-haired female elf inquired.

"Making an outsider fight not one, but two of our battles for us… it's unacceptable and disgraceful." Elena glared at the scythe.

"I understand but these are the demons we are talking about, one of the most dominant races, it was either that or we watch our people die," Deka voiced out.

"I know that but still…" Elena mumbled while still looking at the Scythe.

"The safety of our people will always come first, we have lost too many men and women to the demons, we can't let that happen anymore." Giron uttered with his eyes focused on the sky.

"Mummy, is there going to be a fight?" A kid looking the age of 11, although when compared to the elves' aging System, one could say he's about 6 years old.

The woman standing beside the boy went to her knees before placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Everything's going to be alright sweetie, don't worry about it." She muttered with a smile.

Elena heard footsteps running toward their location, she dashed toward where the woman was while yelling, "Move away from there!".

Both the woman and the boy looked at Elena with bewilderment on their faces, that was until they saw the frightened expression on the rest of the elves.

The woman immediately looked to her back to see a demon with a crazy grin on his face leap toward her.

Without hesitation, she pushed the boy away from danger and was ready to take the danger head-on.

The demon sliced her chest with his sword, sending her falling to the ground as her blood began to spew from the cut.

Elena was still running, even though she wasn't fast enough to save the woman, tears dropped from her cheeks as she yelled in rage.

The demon began to laugh as his red eyes glowed, "Oh my… never met a race so pathetic before!" He uttered.

Elena dashed toward him while pulling her short katana from its sheath, she took a huge jump and sent a sharp attack with her short blade.

The demon was able to block it with his sword which he held with one hand, "Know your place your filth!" He yelled before booting Elena to the ground.

Her back slammed on the ground and her sword flew away from her grip as she bounced.

The rest of the elves packed themselves to a spot, shivering in fear as they watched the demon close in on Elena.

Elena struggled to get up, just that one kick had made her insides twist in pain, the blood dripping from her mouth was a dead giveaway.

"Where's that strength of yours you had a minute ago… don't tell me it's gone now?" The demon yelled as he sent another kick to Elena's stomach.

Her body sprung to the sky as blood spewed out of her mouth before hitting the ground back.

"Fight back damn it, don't make this boring!" The demon yelled again, stomping his foot continuously on Elena's head.

"Come on, fight back! Fight back you pig!" The demon kept trash-talking.

Elena's face had been completely damaged with bruises and all she could do was lay on the ground and kept receiving the attacks.

Giron looked away from the scene as he couldn't bear to watch any longer, he knew if he spoke, the demon would come targeting the rest.

So he just sat as he desperately ignored the smashing sounds he was hearing, he could even hear the slight sobbing Elena was giving out.

"I'm sorry chief… but… I can't bear to watch her suffer anymore!" Deka stood to his feet as he grabbed the scythe on the ground and dashed towed the demon screaming.

The rest of the village called out to him, begging him to turn back but he played a blind ear and continued his approach.

Even his fiance, the elf with the red hair, begged as she cried but that still didn't stop him from running to Elena's rescue.

"Get your hands off her, you bastard!" Deka yelled.

The demon immediately turned and swung his sword at Deka with a an ominous grin on his lips.

Deka still didn't weaver, he swung the scythe he was holding with all his might and was somehow able to slice both the demon's hand and the sword together.

The demon fell to the ground with a a horrified look on his face as he watched his hand and sword fall to the ground.

"M…M…My hand! You cut my fucking hand!" The demon yelled in pain, "Ahh! You bastard!".

Deka held the scythe in front of him as he also was surprised, 'Just now, the power I felt… was from this weapon?' He thought to himself.

"Yes! Brother did it! Finish him, brother." One of the kids cried out.

Deka turned back to see the surprised look on their faces covered in the happiness they were feeling, a victory they'd been hoping to have.

"Everyone?" Deka muttered as he looked at Giron who in turn sent a warm smile at him.

He immediately turned to face the demon as he held the scythe tighter, "I can do it… I can win!" He yelled.

The demon stood to his feet as red energy began to surround his body, "Don't get cocky just because of one lucky shit!" He yelled.

With a boom, they whooshed past themselves with a huge slash following after, while Deka was covered in a dark mist the demon was covered in red energy.

A wild wind blew past both their paths, Deka then stood up from his knees and turned to look at the demon.

The demon had a terrified look on his face as looked to the ground, "No.. way.." his head went falling to the ground alongside all the trees beside him.

Deka looked at his people and saw how shocked they were, he then looked at the Scythe as tears dropped from his eyes.

He raised it to the sky with a smile, "I did it!" He yelled.

They all ran to him, jumping and giving him a hug as they all cried their hearts out.

Elena rested her back in the tree as she looked at the demon's head on the floor, "He… killed a demon." She muttered.

"Thank you… you are truly a blessing… lord Zeno" Giron uttered while watching the village people crying alongside Deka.
