Chapter 15 15:Greeted By Misfortune[2]

Darkness covered his vision.

There was a momentary lapse in his consciousness due to the intense pain causing him to fall to the ground.

The cloth on right his arm was torn and his skin had become charred emitting a sizzling sound as if it had been fired crisp.

However, Diral's condition was far worse.

Summoners generally have weak physiques and endurance. Though Diral was a half-demon, in human form he was weak and inexperienced in hand-to-hand combat.

Embers of fire burst out and hit his face while the force of the blast tossed him away.

"Damn...I will kill you."

Diral groaned and writhing in pain, tumbled on the ground.

The students who have been controlled by him wake up momentarily.

Lucas gritted his teeth and stood up.

Not everything was over.

He needs to kill or cancel the summon.

The surprise attack had broken the link but Lucas could feel the faint presence of the spider who jumped from Diral shoulder

Lucas taking staggering steps lunged forward toward the Purple Tarantula who was beside Diral.

Sensing the hostile intent, it shot a web onto the top of the tree.

Lucas who already knew all its moves threw a fireball and burnt the web causing the floating spider to fall.

It was quite small and could escape with nimble movements so as soon as it fell on the ground, Lucas just pressed his whole body over it giving it no room for any movement.

Even after being attacked with a body slam, Lucas felt a slight wriggle near his chest, he lifted his back and searched for the spider.

The Tarantula senses Lucas's touch and bites him.

It felt like the prickle of the needle but since it was not a poisonous spirit, Lucas just yanked it and got up, stomping on it mercilessly.

The Tarantula spirit died which caused more pain to Diral.

Diral, who had got a hang of his pain shouted with a panicked expression.

"Kick him down."

Lucas, who just killed the spider, was suddenly hit and pinned down on the ground.

Only then it dawned on him that four people had signed slave contracts with Diral and his orders were absolute.

Lucas was punched in his face causing his vision to dwindle.

"Let me go," Lucas shouted and twisting his body threw the kid on him to the side.

He looked for the other two who had not signed the contract to ask for help.

"Noooo!"

"Sorry!"

However, they were already out of their minds and ran away like scared cats abandoning him.

"Stopppp!"Lucas shouted while tilting his body backwards to avoid a punch from the side.

'Asshole, he is a half-demon. If he lives, you all will die bastard.'

Lucas did not have the luxury to think about all of this as four people started to pounce on him from all sides.

Lucas's right hand was numb and the pain was clouding his mind.

He had his dagger but if he swung it carelessly and killed them. He would be expelled no matter what and then there was this bastard behind.

Lucas rotated his body and kicked one of the boys and sidesteps to avoid the punch thrown at him which connected with another boy's jaw who came towards him from the right.

Diral, who was quite frustrated, decided to retreat for now.

"I will have your neck soon so rejoice for you."Diral roared in anger and ran back.

"Ahhhh!"

Lucas's body was hit by the shoulder tackle from the last boy which threw him off.

Lucas used the momentum to roll around to gain some distance and then he prop up bending his knees while pulling out the flintlock pistol from his pocket.

"Where are you going, bastard?"Lucas shouted and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The loud noise of the firearm echoed all around.

Diral who was running for his life was thrown off and felt his limb being torn.

The bullet dug into his left limb causing him to stumble.

Lucas's actions were so swift that even the boy who threw him with a tackle was not able to react nor was he able to see the pistol drawn.

Diral gritted his teeth in pain with a shocked expression but in fact, Lucas himself was shocked seeing the bullet hitting the target.

As soon as Lucas got up, the minions chased after him.

Lucas, who was running forward, stopped abruptly and swung his elbow towards the boy.

BANG!

The boy could not react in time and coupled with his forward momentum, he was hit in his face.

Blood trickled from his nose and he fell back to the ground.

Lucas quickly came towards the Diral who seemed to be crying while holding his thigh.

"Ahhhh!"

Lucas sat down and put the muzzle of the gun on Diral's head and shouted"Ask them to stop, otherwise, I will empty the cartridge."

"Don't come close to me."

"Stay there."

The four of them stepped back while one of them shouted"Kill him you, idiot."

"We are not free until he dies."

"I can feel his intention of anger."

Lucas's hands trembled a bit.

When he killed the Direwolf, his mind was clouded with intense emotions and it was a beast however this bastard looked like a human.

No, he was half-human in a way.

Even though there was hesitation, he was not a fool to let his emotions control him and make him gamble his life at a crucial moment like this.

He needs to be decisive otherwise it would be his corpse lying here.

Rather than that he was thinking of the aftermath.

Would killing him here be the right thing to do?

There are more spies here and his killing would only be justifiable if he could prove that this is a demon otherwise he may be punished with the death sentence for the mindless killing.

What if his body is swapped by others to hide the identity of demons?

Moreover, he cannot put his trust in these bastards. These four can be silenced with a single threat.

Lucas who was conflicted for a moment decided to draw the trigger anyhow but then his body was suddenly sent flying.

Parts of his body crackled as he slams and bounced on the ground a few times.

A man appeared beside Diral and looking around, he glared at Lucas.

"Student, what are you doing?"

"Who gave you guts to commit such a heinous crime in the academy."

Lucas could feel his vision dwindle. Spitting blood, he raises his head.

There was a sharp pain coming from his internals which made him unable to breathe.

"Pro...Professor.....demon..he is a demon..."

The man's expression stiffened and he glanced at Diral.

Diral felt his heart skip a beat and he wondered how this puny man knew.

"Professor, don't listen to him. He wanted to kill us."

"You ask the four of them."

Professor turned his head towards the four.

They wanted to disagree and speak the truth but they felt a strong suppression over their heart.

"Damn!"

Seeing things going out of hand, Lucas shouted.

"Professor, there were six of us. This guy has controlled them and forced them to sign a slave contract."

"You can check this with the other two who escaped. You can find them with the help of CCTV camera footage near the pathway towards the stadium."

The Professor sceptically glanced at Lucas and said"You are speaking something ridiculous."

The words of the boy were too hard to believe.

Still, he decided to give him a chance.

"Sorry boy, I will knock you up and then bring you all for investigation."

Lucas screamed inwardly channelling his strength to get up.

He needs to persuade him now and get rid of Diral otherwise...

However as he got up on his feet, he retched blood and his consciousness started to fade.

'Shit! The man did not hold back when he hit me.'Lucas cursed and fell with a thud.

Seeing Lucas knocked down, Diral screamed in joy.

'I will make you pay.'

However, his happiness was short-lived.

"Professor, he is speaking the truth."

A short red-haired boy with a speck appeared and spoke in favour of Lucas.

The Professor's eyes widened.

He was just patrolling the area and ran back when he heard the sound of firearms, only to see a black-haired boy trying to threaten a boy by pressing the barrel of the pistol.

He reacted quickly and hit the boy without controlling his strength which almost killed him. Still, there was no remorse in his eyes as he thought what he did was right, however, seeing things end like this he started to question his decision.

Diral was startled for a moment, and taking the chance when Diral was not suppressing them, one of the four shouted"He had forced us to sign the contract."

"Damn you.."

Diral cursed his shitty luck.

Just when he thought everything was over, this bastard who had escaped came back.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

The Professor flinched back upon hearing the scream and looked at one of the boys roaring in pain.

Mana contract in a certain way is absolute and causes a severe backlash when broken.

Blood started to slide down from his eyes, and minute changes started to take place.

Suddenly, the four of them ran towards The professor trying to hit him.

The Professor flinched upon seeing this.

Diral, who felt there was no need to hide, decided to escape.

His skin morphed with a darkish layer and his pupil became yellow.

His wounds started to heal faster as he appeared in his true half-Demon form.

He was about to take a step when four loud bangs were heard.

Everyone stood frozen and the student who was writhing in pain also stopped his movements.

The black-haired boy whom he had knocked down stood holding the gun with his left hand.

Smoke rose from the barrel and golden eyes shone and as everyone followed the sight of his gaze, they saw a hole right in Diral brain.

Three missed, however, one cracked through the head and blew the brain.

Blood gushed out from that hole and the body fell to the ground with a thud

While panting as if he was going to run out of breath at any moment, the black-haired boy looked at Professor with a smile and spoke.

"You people are always late in figuring out things."

With a vague sense of resentment in his tone, everyone stared blankly at the boy who collapsed and passed out at last.
