Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Accident.

As the words that Devi uttered reached Soma's ears, his heart started to throb intensely, and his body unconsciously twitched. Suddenly, his mind connected through his storage, trying to take the two items that were in his possession.

The item in his possession possesses such a tremendous value that it can be considered a relic, which he got from the auction. Devi, who lost her temper in the auction, completely forgot about the existence of the Soul pact she made with Soma, which contains the terms Soma must give her two relics in his hands.

Devi didn't know that the contract that had bothered her could be helpful at times like this. The contract she made to let Soma lose his guard, knowing that Soma would die by her trusted aide. But the table turned worse for her at that time. Ever since she was bound by the pact, and this is the first for her to feel grateful for having it.

Soma clenched his teeth as he resisted the urge to take out the items. But his body won't listen to his command. So, without any other choices.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

He used the puppeteer skill to force his body to not engage in any activity. His body started to convulse wildly because of the disconnected mind and body. He couldn't do anything but lie down on the hard ground while fighting with the excruciating pain that assaulted his nerves. The muscle tissues in his body tore as he kept enduring the pain with his throbbing heart that almost burst out of him.

"Tch, futile resistance".

Malik, who came from the side, swung his sledgehammer and tried to get rid of Devi from the perimeter. He turned his sight to Soma, who was convulsed on the ground with a drenched body, gasping for breath.

"Kid, you okay?".

"...A… Ki… Kill… He, r…".

"What happened to you?".

[Extra Skill Adapt activated]

[Nullifying the Pain 12%]

[13% …15%...]

As the number of percentages in his Adapt skill goes up. Soma regained some of his freedom, but his body started to turn numb. He lost the sense he had as a human. He could no longer hear, taste, feel, or smell, only his vision that gradually returned after being blinded by the flash.

"...Kill her or beat her. ...The point is to make her unconscious!".

"But she is a demon. It is easier said than done…".

"...Don't worry, ...she couldn't kill any living things ...as long as I am near her".

Malik, who heard that, raised his brows, and then he tightened the grip on his weapon. He starts to chase the demon woman.

Soma was completely paralyzed, trying to shift his gaze to the other battle, but he could tell that his mouth was clogged by something and blocking his airways. It is also preventing him from turning his gaze to the side. As his mouth started to get locked, his body responded by making him cough out the blood that spurted from his mouth.

"What is happening to my body?". Soma muttered.

[Nullifying the pain 89%... 93%]

"So this is what happens when the Adapt skill is activated, huh?".

At the time when he fought the Storm Wolf in the trial gate. He was so preoccupied with killing the monster that he couldn't experience the feeling of losing his sense by his own skill, which looks useful yet also dangerous. With his current condition, he couldn't even hear the sound of his heartbeat and only his vision that saw a myriad of dots glittering in the dark sky, watching his sorry figure.

"What a frightening skill the Adapt skill was...".

Hiroshi and Gura, who are engaged in a death battle, witnessed Soma coughing blood and smearing his clothes, making Hiroshi's face stiffen, and his heart leap in worry.

"Where do you think you are looking?".

Gura used the chance as Hiroshi let down some of his guards to strike a blow to Hiroshi's stomach. His stomach bent, and Hiroshi got blown away from his current place. He rolled on the ground several times, then fixed his stance before standing up.

"Hmm, What happened to that kid?".

Gura, who witnessed Soma too, tilted his head as the sneer in his mouth widened. He shifts his attention to Soma and tries to approach him, but Hiroshi, who understands his opponent's mind, acts fast. Then, he releases a flying slash from his sword that was created from compressed wind.

"Woah, you still have something in you".

Hiroshi, without replying, advanced engaging with Gura once more. He swung his blade diagonally from under the left side. Then Gura, using his bare hands, met the sword edge head-on without receiving any injury.

"I won't let you get near him".

"Hou, I am just worried about him. Look, he is coughing blood again".

Gura, who leisurely turns his sight to witness Soma's condition, reveals it to Hiroshi, which makes his strength dulled for a moment. But as a warrior and the promise he made, he must hold the demon in front of him no matter what it takes.

"Soma, please hang in there!".

Malik, who is playing chase and tag with Devi, is currently in a stalemate where he can't even lay a single hit on her. The situation only kept getting worse as Malik saw Soma spurting more blood from his mouth, making his mind distressed.

Devi, who also feels distressed, smiles ruefully, seeing Soma lying on the ground while suffering because of the pact they made. She lifted the corner of her lips as he observed the opponent before her. With the pact they had. She couldn't lay a hand on him and would use her speed to her advantage.

"Tch, what a coward stalling for time".

"...I called it a strategy to make that damn boy dead".

"...You are the one that dead, Humpt…".

Malik enhanced his body and started another assault. Each swing from his weapon brings forth a shock from the wind pressure that makes Devi knit her brows. This kind of attack could pulverize her bone instantly, even though she prided herself as a reborn demon. Devi, with her speed status, easily dodged Malik's attacks. He knitted his brows as he kept chasing the demon's tail.

Devi, who knew she was having an advantage, made a slight blunder on her part as she get overconfident and lowered her guard down. She tried to create a distance. Then, Malik swung his hammer so hard creating a shockwave with its inertia force, hiss body rotates making him showing his back to the enemy.

Then, from his storage, he took a disc with a red dot in the middle, which he created in his spare time.

He poured a lot of mana inside the disc, making the red dot in the middle shine. Then, after he turned to face his opponent back, Malik threw the disc, and it traveled in a straight line approaching Devi. The disc, while in mid-air, turns on its mechanic and with a satisfying click. The item letting out tiny four blades that turn it into shuriken that fly toward Devi.

Devi, with her speed, saw the incoming weapon with composure. She summons a sword from her storage and tries to deflect the disc, but it is a wrong move she made.

Upon making contact with the sword, the disc emitted a bright light, making Devi closed her eyes. From that light, the disc spread into a tiny silver wire that started to wrap around her body, rendering her immobilized.

"What?!".

After the disc finished its job coiling around Devi, the wire let out a crackling noise that made Devi's hair stand and a bad premonition surface from her mind. The wire starts to release a volt that is contained within the wire.

"Aack!".

The wire started electrocuting Devi until her eyes rolled to white. White smoke came from her body, she dropped to her knees, slamming her face to the ground, and lay on her stomach. Malik watched the event happen with a satisfied sigh. He created the disc in his spare time, by extracting the lightning quirks from the mana core and then imbuing it toward the wire.

The result is more satisfying than he thought. He brought the weapon with him while cautiously approaching Devi, as he arrived near her. Malik raised his hammer, trying to finish Devi once and for all.

"...Guhk!".

However, his body jolted to the side because of Hiroshi's body that got slammed to Malik. They both groan, and Malik, who is caught off guard, lifts his aching body to face Hiroshi, who leans his back on his stomach.

"...I am truly Sorry, Mr. Malik".

"Get off me first!".

Hiroshi, who is in a weakened state, grits his teeth as he tries to move away from Malik. Malik, who saw his effort, couldn't let himself get angered. His mind starts to wander, and then he exhales a huge sigh. "Haaa, the night feels so intense. If I knew, the situation would turn out like this.

I would let the kid handle the auction and let myself submerged in my own world, staying inside the furnace, honing my skills. Hmm?!".

The relic in Malik's storage suddenly comes out, startling the two adults. The Relic started to emit a light, making the two people's faces blank. The light it emits turns into a magic circle that shines below them. Then, the circle started to spin clockwise, and the light swallowed the two figures, disappearing from the place.
