Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Battling Demon.

In the quiet and peaceful environment of the academy, many of the students who entered some clubs had gone outside the island to the mainland to do their activities before a test came up.

As for the remaining students who diligently trained and studied in their expertise path, basking in the quiet atmosphere until the ground beneath their feet trembled and they could see smoke come from the west area where the building student council stood, many of the students began to speculate. Many of them were curious as to what happened there and approached the place.

The students who approached the place were mainly filled with first-year whose curiosity is still high for this new environment that they still haven't explored wholly.

Once they arrived at the place, the garden in front of the student council building gouged, which raised a cloud of dust blocking the student's view.

"Hey, over there!".

One of the students saw two females jump off from the Hole in the building, followed by two faces with which they were familiar.

A gust of wind roared in the middle of the garden. It blew away the cloud of dust and revealed two figures who stood facing each other in a hostile atmosphere.

"Guhuk, guhuk,".

"...Wait, is that, Soma?".

"You are right, who is that person in front of him?!".

The male student who uttered those words stumbled upon his own limbs as his body flapped to the ground to witness something that shouldn't be in the academy.

"It's a Demon!".

"He is right".

"What should we do?".

While the students who spectate the place are overcome by panic, two lovely figures of a woman standing beside Mark, who has a wound on his chest, and his mouth clearly tastes some iron from the trace of blood on his corner lips.

"Mark, are you alright?".

"You brat! How dare you do that to Mark!".

Unlike Carla, who prioritises Mark's safety above all else, she begins to inspect his body. At the same time, the other hand, Liliru, whose blood had gathered on her head, started to lunge forward to attack Soma, but her attempt was stopped by a sudden spark that lit up, creating a wall of flames, halting her steps in the process.

"Soma, are you okay?".

"...".

"I'm fine. Hina and Xiao Lian, can you handle the two women?".

The two girls who were asked something by Soma felt a certain joy in their hearts as they were finally being relied on by Soma. But it suddenly sank to the bottom because of the gap in strength and experience they had accumulated all these years.

Hina dispelled the magic she unleashed and lifted the curtain of battle between them and the enemy she saw, the murderous eyes that were directed at her and Xiao Lian making their body stiffen, and doubt began to cloud their heart.

However, the moment they saw Soma, as he intended to step forward, shielding them, simultaneously, Hina and Xiao Lian stretched their hands, blocking him and spoke.

"No need, Soma. I can handle her".

"Mm, So, Soma you only need to focus on that man".

"...Okay, I'm counting on you!".

As soon as those words leaked from his mouth, Soma's figure disappeared and reappeared behind Mark, who still clutched his left chest.

Mark and Carla, who noticed a shadow had appeared behind them, stiffened their body, but their speed was incomparable to Soma, who was buffed by the Devil's power.

Soma swung his left punch, and it hit Mark directly on his jaw, blowing him away from the place. Mark, who is still flying straight from his place, gets kicked by Soma in the back and sends him to the air. In mid-air, Mark grits his teeth and ignores the pain that assaulted his body as he flaps his wings and regains his balance. He cast his gaze around with a frown etched on his face.

"Where is he? Gukf!".

Once again, Mark was powerless in front of Soma's might, who seemed to toy with him. With the powerful jolt in his left abdomen, he felt something was cracking in the last impact, and true to Mark's thought, his left ribs dented, and it was bleeding internally.

However, the wounds around his body gradually altered, and they returned to how they were supposed to. But this was a mistake as Mark didn't pay any attention to his surroundings.

Soma, who launched himself from above with a claw gesture on his right hand, gripped Mark's skull and slammed his face to the ground; the ground cracked until it was gouged by Soma's power.

Not finished with the attack, Soma raised Mark's head before he slammed it back to the ground, spurting out blood that smeared the ground. Soma did it again, again, again, and each time he slammed Mark's head to the ground, it went deeper, making a crater and the shockwaves it created, garnering the attention of the other students who didn't care about the smoke incident earlier.

Mark, whose head was slammed to the ground multiple times, gradually repaired, then broke repair and broke, and it began to create a cycle of atrocities where many students who saw it gulped in fear. Mark's mind began to turn dizzy from the repeating jolt its brain received.

After a certain period of time, Mark's mind had practically dulled. The hidden power that resided inside him, who had ingested diluted devil's blood, took over. His body started to convulse in an unnatural manner, creeping the onlookers.

"Aaaah!".

Caught off guard, Soma got blasted by the menacing and heavy aura Mark had unleashed from his body. His roar, like a wounded beast filled with so much hatred, shook the entire area of the academy.

After noticing something was not right, the teacher, who was busy with the paperwork in the office, roused, and they began to rush toward the battle scene.

"Why does it have to be now when all the fighter teachers were absent?".

"Let's go, everyone; our top priority is the students".

"Yes". Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

While running, they keep in mind that, in this case, the top priority above all is the student's lives.

Soma landed a bit far away from Mark, who was still willowing in hatred. He saw Mark taking something from his storage ring. It was a red pill as big as a pinky from a kid, and Mark swallowed it instantly.

Mark's body convulsed, all the muscle around his body puffed out, and his stature grew more than two meters tall, the horns and wings on his back becoming more prominently big.

"Aaaaah".

The roar that had stopped earlier continued as it was created, and massive shockwaves blasted away the surrounding debris and students who didn't have enough strength.

Mark finished with the roar and transformation. Currently, he stood taller than everyone else in the place. He glanced at his surroundings, his empty eyes filled with madness as he saw multiple students who flopped on their butts. Mark licked his lips and lunged toward the frightened students.

"Shit".

Soma, who had a bad premonition from his instinct skill, launched himself like a missile and slammed his entire body with demonized Mark. Their bodies collide away from the place, staying away from the crowded place.

"Aah!".

Mark, who was hit, saw soma sticking to his body like gum and swung his palm downward to get rid of Soma. But, Soma already saw that coming and raised his left hand to protect his head; a dry thud echoed, and Soma's momentum went slightly reduced until they stopped, and Soma distanced himself from the demon.

What Soma never expected was the blow that he blocked with one hand, which managed to inflict a certain amount of damage to his hand. He clenched his left fist as it was still numbed by the earlier attack. "So this is the one chosen by Ira, huh".

"Aaaah!".

Mark, who already lost his mind as a human, began to wreak havoc on the ground and facilities around him. The wound that he got from the body slam was healed, and the aura that leaked from his body slightly got stronger as time progressed.

"It's a shame, Mark".

Simultaneously, as Soma uttered those words, the bolts around his body burst forth, its veins began to condense into his boots, and the crimson-clad boots let out a shrill voice like a thousand birds sing.

"Lightning Cleaver".

Soma sped up, and in the blink of an eye, he stood face to face with the tall Mark, who still couldn't grasp Soma in speed. He swung his right leg, creating an arc that formed a blade toward Mark's left leg.

It has no resistance, as it cuts Mark's left leg clean, spurting blood to the ground and making Mark lose his balance.

Soma stepped back a little as he found Mark's head gradually lowered as his body fell down.

"This is farewell".

With one last stroke from Soma's kick, Mark's head flew in the air, which ended the fight.

[You gained Exp!]

"Into the next!".
