Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Memories.

Everyone in the place stood still as if time had stopped hearing the growl Soma had spit. Hisako turned her head and opened her eyes, seeing the state Soma was in. Hiroshi also shrinks his gaze, seeing Soma's state, but keeps his mouth shut, still keeping his vigilance.

"Soma?".

Gura and Devi each of them had different expressions. Gula looked at Soma weirdly while shrinking his gaze, pondering why the kid knew him. Devi noticed the change in Gura's face. Her face turned ashen, as a cold of sweat drenched her body hearing the bold statement the boy spit. However, the terror soon turned to enjoyment as she thought about the pact that would get terminated as he died.

"You fool dare to insult Lord Gura. Considering you are dead". She muttered, hiding a sneer behind Gura's shadow.

Soma, who is in the center of all the attention, kept his gaze straight at Gura, who he remembered clearly. A sudden flood of memories replicates themselves, making his head throb.

That night, when Soma and his parents were living harmoniously together. A sudden visitor who barged in stunned the people inside. Upon his entrance, it also inflicts a huge damage, destroying his world.

His father's body was separated into two, sprawling on each corner of the room, smearing blood on the floor and the walls. His mother's headless corpse was swallowed whole with its gruesome mouth and crushed by its protruding teeth.

Soma couldn't forget her mother's last face that rolled beside his feet. Her empty gaze that sent chills to his core created nightmares that he had to bear for those years.

That was one of the turning points in Soma's life, who lives in this world, and it shaped him into a soulless child until he is being swapped by his current Soma from an alternate world. However, because of the memories that emerged to the surface about the dark truth behind the boy named Soma. It inflicts Soma psychologically, as he turns hostile toward the chubby man he first met.

Soma, whose emotion was uncontrollable right now, clenched his teeth and fists as he looked toward Gura. Initially, there is a shock and cold sensation that freezes his body. His heart throbbed, which ignited the dormant flames that burned so bright, filled with intense sorrow and anger reminiscent of that time.

"Fat pig? Do you mean me?".

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

Without opening his mouth, Soma, with his battered, tired body, dashed forward while raising his right fist, trying to punch Gura.

"Wait, Soma!".

Hiroshi, who saw Soma acting rashly, acted fast. He grabbed Soma's raised hand, holding him in place.

"Calm down, Soma!".

"Get lost! I must kill that pig".

Soma began to thrash away in Hiroshi's grasp, and it troubled him. So, Hiroshi closed his eyes, feeling sorry for what he would do.

"I am sorry, Soma".

Hiroshi clenched his right fist before striking Soma in the solar plexus, shook his nerves, and rendered him unconscious. Soma's body went limp as he was being held by Hiroshi, preventing it from kissing the ground.

Hisako, who saw Soma's body, went limp and turned pale as she rushed forward to her husband's side.

"Soma?!".

"Hisako, please".

"...Okay".

Hiroshi left Soma's care in Hisako's hands while he turned his gaze to the two people he assumed were demons. Gura still tilted his head, not understanding what Soma had been talking about, but after he squeezed his brain out, he could only think that Soma was one of the kids whose parents fell into his stomach.

"Hm, ...That must be it. Ehehehe, sadly, I can't remember him though, what a pity".

"...What the hell are you talking about?".

Hisako, who saw the guy sneering while looking at the unconscious Soma, shot her glare while raising her voice, gripping Soma in her embrace. She was acting tough right now, but deep inside, she also realized that the man in front of her was too strong for her to deal with.

"Hm?".

Gura, who has a sharp sense of others, notices multiple individuals coming straight their way, and each of them is an ability user. He shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Devi's neck with his robust hands.

"Let's meet again later, if time will it".

The tiny sphere in between his fingers shattered into a hundredth of particles. Then, below their feet, emerged a magical circle meant for teleportation, shone in golden light before engulfing the two demons, and disappeared from the place without a trace.

"They gone".

"Yeah".

Hiroshi exhaled tremendously, spitting out his agitated state. Then he turned to his side and found Hisako also doing the same. He crouches down and turns his attention to Soma. There are no significant wounds, only his forehead, which had a slight tear while oozing some blood that already stopped.

"He has good recovery ability".

"What the hell are you thinking?! Call the ambulance, hurry!!".

"Okay".

The angry voice from his wife jolted him. Hiroshi took his phone before dialing the nearby hospital, and the other awakeners who had been alarmed came to their side, asking about the situation.

As clarity began to seep into his blurry state, His mind started to piece together the memories from before Soma's blackened. A faint, dull ache assaults his brain and awakens his slumbering mind.

Soma, who regained his mind, slowly opened his eyes, trying to gouge his surroundings. However, he lost sight as the first thing he saw was dark. It was so dark that it could have swallowed the light itself.

With his sense that gradually returned, He could hear the faint sound of clicking steel that clashed into his ears, and he opened his eyes wide, hearing the familiar sound. Soma raised his body, cast his gaze around, and found a huge cocoon wrapped by a black chain from all over the space hanging in mid-air, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"You woke up sleepyhead?".

A cloud of black smoke began to emerge from the cocoon, and it gathered at one point, turning into a human-shaped figure with a black appearance. With its pair of red eyes and a red zig-zag line resembling a mouth.

"So, it's you".

"Yeah, it's me. You!".

The devil flashed his red mouth while saying incomprehensible lines. Soma raised his body and stood up to face the devil. He observed his surroundings before turning his glance to the devil.

"Why am I here?".

"I dragged you here".

"... On what purpose? Is it perhaps regarding my body?".

The devil snorted as if to lose interest. He put his right hand on his side skull before lifting himself up to relax mid-air.

"...What if I said yes?".

"I knew it".

Soma began to leap backward and put his middle stance, prepared to engage with the devil anytime. The devil who saw Soma's movement raised his brows, amazed by his still-growing technique.

"...Well, it's too late for that. Anyway, I drag you here to warn you". S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"...What is it?".

Even though the being in front of him is a devil. Soma still didn't think that hearing him would cost him a thing. The devil, who was pleased, spread his mouth and then opened his voice.

"Don't trust that golden guy blindly".

"Huh?!"
