Chapter 94 93. Demonic Being (2).

"What do you think?" Katline asked Jiwoo.

"About?" Jiwoo asked with puzzled expression.

"Do you think it's dangerous or it just his paranoia?" Katline asked.

"I don't know..." he shook his head.

"But I don't think he is just paranoid..... Should we just call Eshwar?" He continued and asked.

'Eshwar is stronger than Vinny, so if something goes wrong, he should be able to supress Vinny and we can get a second opinion, but I think Vinny has a reason not to ask him for help from the start, so I'll respect his wishes for the time being.' Katline thought and shook her head at Jiwoo's question.

"Well, damn." Jiwoo mumbled and furrowed his brows at the black goo, which was still burning with a subtle sizzle.

"..... I think we should call Eshwar." Violet suggested.

"... Why?" Katline stood cross armed and furrowed her brows at Violet.

"..... If something will go wrong we won't be able to deal with it, if you don't remember Vinny is S rank hero." Violet pointed out the obvious, but they reacted as if it were the first time they heard it.

"Oh sh*t." Katharine mumbled.

"He is with us most of the time that I forget that he is a rank-S hero, haha." Jiwoo chuckled.

"Ukh!?" Vinny suddenly groaned.

"Vinny?" Jiwoo called out.

WHOOMMM

Vinny's body erupted with black mana, causing ripples; with each ripple, the mana oozing from his body increased by a notch.

"Hello!" Vinny exclaimed with his eyes closed.

"Pft, Hello." Katharine said with a giggle.

"Huh?" They stared at Vinny in disbelief.

BOING (4x)

Suddenly, ripples appeared to be bouncing, and after 6 bounces, it shot up, forming a transparent black pillar at least twice the size of Vinny. In the middle of it was Vinny, who was wincing from time to time and his face was twisted in grimace.

"Ghaaa!!" Vinny covered his ears and screamed in agony.

"F**k! Oi!" Jiwoo called out.

"Vinny snap out of it, dammit!" Jiwoo rushed to Vinny, quickly followed by Katline and the others.

'What's going on? Why is he in pain?' Katline bit her lower lip and paced around, circling Vinny several times because she didn't know what else to do.

"Uck!" Vinny groaned in muffled voices.

Vinny's face turned bright red from the force he was exerting to cover his ears. He began to bleed from every hole in his face, which was almost terrifying for those who had never seen a human being die.

"F**k! Stop him! He'll crush his own head at this rate!" Jiwoo sat down next to Vinny, facing his right side, and began to pull Vinny's hand towards him.

"Sh*t! Okay!" Katline quickly followed and sat to Vinny's left to pull his hand towards her, placed her feet on Jiwoo's and pushed against them to pull Vinny's hand.

"I'm coming too." Katharine said and joined Katline. Violet ran towards Jiwoo and pulled Vinny's hand.

'What in god's name is Vinny doing instead of snapping out of it?' Katline thought looking at outrageous situation.

SWISH

Vinny then abruptly let go of his hands, Jiwoo and Katline collapsed to the ground and bumped the back of their heads, and Katharine and Violet collapsed butt first on the ground.

"Uhk?!"

"Guh!"

"Ack!"

"Gha!"

Groans filled the room before the black pillar began to move, abruptly.

The pillar grew two arms while the top part shrunk into an oval forming a head, two twisted horns protruded from the forehead, and waist length red hair grew on top of the oval shaped head.

"Asura." Katharine mumbled in daze while staring at the imposing demonic figure.

The figure leaned back while its shoulder danced up and down, giving the impression that the demonic figure was laughing.

WOOUUUUNNNGGGH

A strange sound echoed throughout the training chamber as the figure twisted, leaned forward, and seeped back into Vinny's body.

"Grr...." Vinny began to breathe strangely, almost as if he were an angry bull.

Vinny's ponytail came loose and floated in the air, a bright red hue covering it as if it were under water. Suddenly, black goo flowed down from the bottom of Vinny's hair and didn't stop until it completely covered him.

"GRAAAAA!!!!" Vinny screamed at the top of his lungs, causing ripples in the air and shattering circuit designs on the training chamber's walls.

"Guh!?" they covered their ears and crouched down in pain.

Vinny's body floated up into the air about a meter and a half above the ground, his entire body turned pitch black, twisted horns and a pointy tail appeared, the corners of his mouth tore and turned dark bloody red, shaped as if the demonic figure was grinning widely.

The figure's left leg came loose as it leaned back, and the figure was now sitting cross-legged in the air, as if on the throne.

"This!!??" Katline heard Jiwoo's panicked voice and snapped out of her trance of agony.

'..... Whatever this is, it's not Vinny!' Katline thought.

***

"This!!??" Jiwoo abruptly stood back up and exclaimed in shock.

Jiwoo trembled at the sight of the demonic figure in front of him, his legs buckled up and he fell butt first to the ground, his face was twisted in horror as he sweat profusely.

"How??!?" As the line from the novel resounded in his head, he trembled and appeared befuddled by the situation.

'These people were not worth your sacrifice!' Jiwoo remembered the line at the novel's ending.

'In the novel, the demon who slaughters the heroes is described as 'The waist length red haired demon, with pitch black skin that seemed to devour light, twisted horns, like that of a goat, protruded from his forehead and a pointy wipe like tail appeared and his torn mouth corners were dyed in dark blood red that formed a wide grin and was soon named as 'A Demon of Slaughter!'' Jiwoo shuddered and crawled back in terror as he remembered the novel's description.

".... 'These people were not worth your sacrifice!' Yes, now it makes sense! The demon was you!" Jiwoo mumbled out loud, involuntarily.

'No! H-he is the demon of slaughter? Why? How? It definitely makes sense considering the dialogue at end, but why? Why Vinny?' Jiwoo thought.

'BBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPP' Jiwoo couldn't understand what was going on as his mind suddeny went blank.

STEP (6x)

PAAT

"Ow, huh?" Jiwoo snapped out his trance when Katline slapped him with everything she had.

"Are you alright?" Katline asked, nonchalantly.

"I don't think so(?)" Katharine answered.

"Yea, no sh*t, Miss Obvious! I just got slapped the sh*t out of me and it's hurting like hell!" Jiwoo snarled in annoyance and rubbed his cheek.

"Do you what 'that' is?" Katline asked.

"Y-yes."
