Chapter 114 113. Helix Zeal.

"You better not disappoint me." Eshwar said.

"Rrrrr..." Vassago growled.

'What have you been rambling about? Why would I want to meet your expectations in the first place? I just let my rage take over, and as soon as it's over, I hear, 'You better not disappoint me,' what does that even mean?' Vassago was perplexed at Eshwar's choice of words.

SWOOSH

WHOOMMM

BAM

Vassago launched himself at Eshwar and swung down his right fist, which Eshwar avoided by back stepping. Vassago's fist struck the ground and a crater formed, which he ignored and punched out at Eshwar with his left fist.

WHOOSH

THUD

"What're you doing?" Eshwar grabbed Vassago's punch without dodging and glared.

"Grra!" Vassago ignored Eshwar and kicked his head with his left foot, creating a 'C' shaped wind arc in the process.

BAM

Eshwar shielded his head with his right hand, clenched Vassago's left leg with his right hand, lifted him above his head, and slammed him to the ground.

BOOM

"Grr..." Vassago was slammed to the ground face first, his twisted horns and nose hurting as he began to bleed.

"Grr!" Vassago donkey kicked Eshwar in the chest with his right leg, lunged forward, turned to face Eshwar and lunged himself with all fours.

"Like a rabid dog." Eshwar said with a smirk.

SWOOSH

Vassago grabbed a pure white sword that had pierced through the ground because it had left a mark on the ground, which even his fist strike, that had formed a crater at first, had healed; with that logic in mind, Vassago choose that sword so he could do some damage.

SWISH

Vertical, horizontal, diagonal and a stab, Vassago swung the sword in every way he could move it, connecting one slash with the other a performed a sword dance with fluid movement, though every slash was dodged before he swung again.

SLASH (23x)

His sword swings only left wind trails, doing no real damage to his opponent, who was staring at him with a sharp gaze. Vassago, who had lost control of his void, couldn't use the void energy and had to rely on his demonic mana, which his 'existence' had contained since the time he was born tens of thousands of years ago.

He would have to use that or use his host's mana who unfortunately had none, but his host, too, had a void filled with void energy to the brim.....

'He has void energy!!????' Vassago realized just now.

'But.... How can a human have void energy? It's not even mana; it is just a poison that would kill the user in an instant if used!! How? What?' Vassago was dumbfounded at the discovery.

"Grr..." Vassago let out a low growl in joy, involuntarily.

"....looks like you figured out." Eshwar mumbled.

'If I gain control of the void, it will be beneficial to both my host and me, and I will be able to use my powers to their full potential! My host will grow stronger, and if things go well, he may even become a demon himself!!' Vassago ignored Eshwar and began to move towards Vinny's void magic.

Vassago spread his scenes to every inch of Vinny's body in search of the void, but instead discovered a nebula-like core, the core at the center was filled with crimson red void energy which was surrounded by green hue, similar to a 'Death star.'

'Everything around it is the aura of my host, while the crimson red is the void!' Vassago stared in envy and awe at Vinny's core.

'Let us focus and carefully draw out the void energy; if the seal is broken roughly, we could both die....' Vassago considered before he began to tap into the void without disturbing the green aura that surrounded the core.

"Grauuuuooo!!" The void energy slightly seeped out of the core and shook the green aura surrounding it; the green aura instantly merged into a raging bull and charged at Vassago's consciousness.

"Grra!" Vassago screamed in agony as Vinny's consciousness returned stronger than ever.

*

In the training chamber.

BOOOMMM

BANG

WHOOSH

Vinny regained his consciousness, sat up, and looked around, finding himself in front of Eshwar, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Vinny's entire body ached, many of his bones had cracked while others were broken, and his head ached as if it would split apart.

BAM

"Arg!? What...." Vinny mumbled.

SNAP

THUD

Something snapped inside Vinny and he fell face flat on the ground with a low 'thud.'

***

In the Devil's Domain.

Two figures stood in front of each other, one was a white-haired man and the other was a red-haired demon. Despite the fact that the other was the demon, the white-haired man looked more horrifying with a maddened grin and madness filled in his eyes. The white-haired man took pleasure while watching the demon struggle.

*

I stopped attacking him as soon as he realized that Vinny, too, had the same void-like energy which I simply named 'Helix zeal' because it literally looked like the Helix nebula. Vassago seemed to have taken damage mentally because of Vinny's aura when trying to access Vinny's Helix zeal.

"Haa...haaa...haaaa..." Vassago stopped screaming, leaned forward with his palms on his knees and was now gasping for air.

BAM

I kicked Vassago's head because he had leaned forward and it seemed like he was asking for it, and this.... Vassago in front of me is real, I mean... This, this guy looks exactly like this.... Ah! Only Vassago will die if I kill him now.

"Ai che, who am I even explaining to? Haa goddammit!" I mumbled and scratched the top of my head.

"Now, now, don't be a wuss. You knew what would happen." I mocked Vassago.

"COME ON! FIGHT!" I roared and dashed at Vassago.

I appeared in front of him, grabbed his horns and pressed down on him, his knees buckled before he kneeled down, I clenched his horns and knee kicked him in his face.

BAM (4x)

"Gra!?" He groaned as he started to bleed from his nose and mouth.

'I seriously want to kill him right now, but...' My thoughts were cut short when I felt a sharp pain cruise through my left leg.

BAM

"Uck?" I groaned in agony as I felt pain on my left calf bone. When I looked down, I saw that he had punched at my calf bone and was now tightly clenching it as his claws dug into my calf muscle.

"Heh." I scoffed and knee kicked him again before jumping back to put some distance between us.

"..... It seems like you are back...." I said while staring at Vassago wipe the blood around his mouth with a savage grin and madness filled in his eyes.

"Round 2?"
