"R-u-n away," Amos was on the verge of losing his mind, from time to time twitching like a broken machine.
His body slowly got invaded by the parasite, and he actually lost half of his face and it was replaced with a demonic-looking thing.
"Kyla, decide quickly, he will turn into a demonic being within a few seconds," Daphnia was worried about her own son more than others, that she actually didn't hesitate to kill Amos.
After witnessing the previous incident of him getting wounded by this thing in front of her, she had a primal fear etched into her body when Velian get close to anything dangerous, even though he was more powerful than all of them.
"Enough! I will take responsibility," Looking at Kyla and Ellena simultaneously, Velian pulled out another violet stone which had his magic stored in it.
Even though he wasn't fully transformed, the stone will do damage to the part that is already taken by the parasite.
Even though there was a possibility of Amos surviving this tragedy, he would at least lose half of his body leaving him unable to continue with his career.
"Wait! Don't-" Ellena held Velian by his clothes, but suddenly her brother pulled her back.
"He will become a monster if Velian didn't do anything, don't be selfish, he wants to die as a human, he must be already in pain, let him do his work," He muttered in an angered tone seeing his sister being too emotional.
"Good work! I will finish this without giving him any pain," Velian said and looked at Amos, that was already on his knees laughing like a madman.
Amos was writhing in pain as his body was overtaken by the black parasite. Velian watched in horror as the transformation progressed, half of Amos' body turning into a demonic form that looked both terrifying and powerful.
Without hesitation, Velian pulled out the violet demon-killing stone from his pocket and threw it at Amos. But to his surprise, Amos' demonic half reacted quickly, using its vast knowledge to cut the stone in midair using Amos' sword that was hanging on his hips.
"Kekekew! Did you think I would fall for the same trick again? I'm a life form that's fated for perfection, so my evolution is something you can look forward to," While laughing with an ominous sound, the half of Amos which got infected muttered.
Velian's eyes widened as he realized that Amos was no ordinary human anymore. "Who are you?" he demanded, his voice shaking with anger.
Even though he talked with people that got infected, this was the first time he managed to talk with the parasite itself.
Amos let out a low growl, his body shaking as he struggled to control the demonic energy coursing through him. "Who else! I am Amos, right now I'm Amos" he replied, his voice deep and ominous. "And you have made a grave mistake by trying to fight with me."
Ellena took a step back, her heart pounding in her chest seeing Amos acting like a different person and then she quickly looked at Velian, who was looking at Amos with a curious look. "What are you going to do, My lord?"
Amos closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his body beginning to change once again. This time, there was no turning back. With a roar, he transformed into a fully demonic being, his eyes glowing with an eerie red light.
But still, there was a small piece of him that remained human until the end, with his eyes looking at Ellena and her brother with tears in his eyes.
"Goodbye, everyone," he said, his voice echoing throughout the room. "Looks like it's my time, It was an honour to fight alongside you."
"I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice strained with emotion. "I wanted to stay with you two and watch you grow kike a real father, but this might be the end for me. But-"
He looked at Velian and the other two members, his tears falling like raindrops from the sky.
"I don't want to die," he said, his voice trembling with fear and desperation. "I don't want to die,"
But as quickly as the words left his lips, something changed. His expression twisted into a cruel smile, his once-pleading eyes now filled with malevolence.
"You fools," he snarled, his voice now deep and guttural. "Did you really think you could save me? I will massacre every single one of you,"
Daphnia and the others looked on in horror as Amos' body began to convulse violently, his demonic form growing even more powerful by the second and completing its form.
And with that, Amos charged forward, his demonic form radiating intense energy that shook the very ground beneath them. Velian and the others braced themselves for the worst, knowing that they were facing a force unlike any they had ever encountered before.
"No matter, how much you try, I will kill every single one of you, just give up and vanish already," With anger-filled eyes, Velian summoned a violet colour flame which looked similar to the stone he had earlier.
"This flame will burn you! This flame will turn you into ashes and will make you regret ever trying to fight me," He said and threw it in the direction where Demonic Anos was staying.
"Fool! I told you the same trick won't work twice," As soon as he said that, he disappeared from the location he was standing, but Velian quickly understood this was something like spatial magic because he felt the presence.
The spell went ahead and burned all the trees, but unlike the violet colour flame that it should possess, it looked like a normal flame.
"So you want to play? Fine," Velian signalled to Daphnia and asked her to protect the other two members while he kept a close look at the surrounding.
"I will play with you, but there's no use hiding, I can already see you behind Kyla,"
Velian pointed at Kyla who was still in a state of shock because of how absurd these developments were. She never expected Amos who was eating with her yesterday and dreaming about giving a better life to this sibling duo, to be dead as if he was a fly.
"Ohhh~ you sure have some skills, aren't you? That's why you're the best host for me, so don't resist, consume me, my darling," The voice of the parasite changed into something more feminine and it suddenly took the form of a woman like it was hoping to seduce Velian.
