Chapter 617 Erdrich & Demons



-----

"[Demon Fist Technique]: [Infernal Fist Barrage]!"

Erdrich unleashed hundreds of punches against a giant half-lizard-looking Demon Cultist he found on his way to the large fortress where the two Tribe Bosses were located, demolishing his entire body with his attacks and breaking every single bone on his body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!

CLAAASH!

The Demon Cultist, miraculously still alive, vomited a mouthful of blood as he looked at Erdrich with utter surprise, horror, and disbelief.

"Y-You're… It can't be, you're the perfect human and demon hybrid?!" The man muttered, his Demon Spirit was nothing against the power of Erdrich, and was easily destroyed by his fists. "T-The Cambion…!"

"And you're the bastards that brainwashed my mom into becoming a monster like you, and to give birth to me with these powers, aren't you?" Erdrich said. "The Cult of Beelzebub."

"A-Ahahah… Gaaagh…!" The Demon Cultist suddenly groaned in agony as Erdrich's foot began pressing on his chest. "Please… spare me! We don't want to… hurt you! We are your allies! Like your mother… We can… help you avenge her! You belong with us, Cambion!"

"Shut the fuck up. My name is not Cambion, and the only place where I belong is my village." Erdrich said, his foot pressing further into the Demon Cultists' chest.

Crack… CRACK!

"P-Please reconsider it! You are… the perfect hybrid! The prophesied leader that would lead all of the New Humans to a bright future!!!" The Demon Cultist cried, as his ribs began piercing his lungs. "You are the perfect one… your powers… they combine so well with the rest of your body and abilities…! Unlike us… that were turned like this through demon magic, you were born perfect! Your fate is being a much higher being… Sitting at the side of our King, Beelzebub, or even more… Lucifer himself!"

"So that was what you wanted to do with me… I am a pawn that will brainwash the rest of humanity into thinking you monsters are the New Humans?" Erdrich wondered. "I guess Blake will be delighted to learn this information. It seems your plans involve the entire world… Do you just want the entire world to be overrun by demons and for you to control them as half-demons? You're cowards that instead of fighting our invader, are allying with them!"

"Blake?! So you're a loyal dog of that damn kid…" The Demon Cultist said. "You must know that… He is not… merely… a child! He is the reincarnation of-"

CRAAASH!

Before he could hear any more of the bullshit that this insane man was talking, Erdrich crushed his chest and killed him instantly, sighing in relief.

"Reincarnation? What the hell was he even talking about?" Sighed Erdrich. "Meh, even if Blake were to be the reincarnation of a demon or whatever else, I wouldn't care either way. He's my friend, I owe him more than anybody else… He and Elizabeth were the ones that helped me grow stronger both physically and mentally… And you, my dear spectators, are next."

Erdrich glanced at dozens of Warrior-class Demons standing right behind him, completely afraid of his monstrous strength. Mercilessly he killed one of their masters, the demons were shocked.

"Y-You killed our master…!"

"But he said he was the Legendary Cambion!"

"T-Then does it means he's our new master now?!"

"But… He's a filthy human-sided bastard, a traitor!"

The demons suddenly began discussing between each other. It seemed that due to Erdrich being a half-demon, some were even willing to serve him as he had slain their previous master. Of course, Erdrich already could hear and understand their words, yet every time he heard them he simply couldn't care less.

After seeing what demons were capable of, and what they had done to so many innocents, he realized they were all just savages. Although they were gifted the power of talking and communicating, they didn't possess basic human emotions such as love, compassion, honesty, empathy, and more. At the end of the day they were no different than goblins.

"[Heavenly Demon Arts]: [Heaven Splitting Palm]"

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

In front of all the Demons a gigantic palm made of Demonic Power, Mana, Ki, and Spiritual Power emerged out of thin air, devastating all the demons and crushing the as if they were insects before disappearing completely.

BOOOOOOOMMMMM…!

"Hah, I am tired of hearing them talking." Erdrich sighed.

"Are you feeling better, little Erdrich?" Suddenly, a beautiful and adorable young lady resembling a ghost appeared behind him, resting her arms on his shoulders.

This was Erdrich's Spirit named [Lady of Reminiscence], she was with him since the beginning, and she still lacks her own memories, but for some reason, really cares for him, and often says that his mother told her to take care of him.

"Ah… Yeah, I am fine." He sighed. "Aside from my friends, I know you'll always be there with me."

"Of course Erdrich." She nodded. "Though… hasn't your friend sent you a bit too far away? You should be fighting with everyone now…"

"Y-Yeah, I walked on my own…" Erdrich sighed.

"Geez…" The girl sighed. "Well, let's make sure to eliminate those evil cultists. Make sure to never believe their words. They're evil people that sacrifice hundreds of innocents. They made your mother into what she became, abusing her own fears and insecurities. They don't deserve your compassion…"

"I know. I won't change my resolve." Erdrich nodded. "With Blake, we'll free this world from the Demons. One step at a time. And this Demon Settlement is nothing but a steppingstone to our arduous path ahead."

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

Erdrich continued massacring demons after demons, noticing the rest of the class had arrived, and giving them his support from the side, protecting them from the stronger Demon Cultists so they wouldn't get targeted.

Meanwhile, in the other side of the battlefield, Blake and Eleanora, alongside Ruby and the newly evolved Blood, devastated the rest of the demons with Blake's Familiars while killing the last few Demon Cultists on their path towards the Fortress where the big bosses were hiding.

"Knock, knock~" Eleanora giggled, slamming the door wide open with a single kick.

BAAAAAM!
