Chapter 18 You? The Successor?

*Heavy breathing*

Zeno slowly started to gain conscience,"Where am I?" He woke up and found himself tied with magic to a chair.

"Oops, did I wake up the princess, I could have sworn I was so quiet, too bad" Lucifer mocked, holding an injection that had blue liquid.

Zeno saw the huge injection and was immediately frightened,"What the hell is going on?." He thought to himself.

He was constantly looking around trying to see if there was a place he could pass to escape.

"Get me out of here!" He yelled.

"You can't escape, that is a magic seal made by yours truly, and you don't make demands" Lucifer moved closer and started to examine Zeno's face.

"The successor, the one chosen by the goddess herself to rule earth, one blessed with the power the power to wipe out demons, pathetic." He snarled and slapped Zeno, before licking his palm.

"You know, I held you close as a friend, a true buddy, someone I could count on.

I'm guessing you don't remember the fun we always had, back in heaven" Lucifer grabbed a chair and sat in front of Zeno with his legs crossed.

Coughed*

​ "Look grandpa, you obviously got the wrong guy here, I am no successor or whatever." Zeno coughed.

"Ahhh" Lucifer sighed.

"As I was saying, we were best of friends, basically brothers, we did everything together, even had the same idol we looked up to.

Until one day you straight up betrayed me, boom! I lost it, the goddess chose you to stand by her side, I was heartbroken, how could my own friend do that to me.

You knew damn well Zeno" Lucifer kicked Zeno face, his blood spilled all over the wall,'And you, you still stole my glory! honour! dream! everything, Zeno! Zeno! Zeno! Zeno Ayato!" Lucifer screamed as he constantly punched Zeno with so much rage in his eyes.

Lucifer has always been known as the cool and scary demon, but there's only one person that can make him go out of character.

"Look up, look at me!" He grabbed Zeno's hair and raised his bloody, battered face up, "I see, your regeneration seems to be slow" Lucifer walked over to the table and grabbed the injection.

Lucifer turned to give Zeno the injection, but his plan went south when Zeno was suddenly standing in front of him, his blue dark aura and eyes made the entire room check.

"I'm no longer afriad of you anymore" Lucifer uttered, not panicking, Lucifer pulled him close by his neck and stabbed him in the chest with the injection before releasing the chemical into his body.

Zeno fell to the ground and with that came Lucifer triumphant laughter, he watched as Zeno's powers started to fade and how he started bleeding from inside out.

Zeno screamed in agony as he held his throat, "it hurts, it hurts". It wasn't long after before the blood started to spill from all open holes in his face, ear, eyes, even his nose.

Lucifer grabbed Zeno's hair and raised him up, looking directly at his eyes.

"And now the end of the Successor begins… here!" Using his ability he looked Zeno in the eyes and started eating up his memories until Zeno became just a vessel.

Lucifer walked over to the table and grabbed a pair of scissors, "Now so things get really uncomfortable for you, I wouldn't want you feeling to strong of yourself" He grabbed Zeno face and began using the scissors to stab Zeno's eye socket multiple times.

Zeno's cry was so faint that even Lucifer wouldn't know he was feeling it if not for the fact that he could see his face.

Lucifer walked out the door, there were two demon guards standing at the entrance, "Dispose of his body, make it so far that it echoes when I call his name".

"Yes my Lord!" The salutation.

. . . . . . . . . . .

They all managed to escape from all the Glinx, after running they got to an empty land, and just in front of them was the huge school that Andrew saw in his dream.

"Yep, this is the place," Andrew said, looking at the tall school building right in front of him.

Uta smirked, "Of course, I should have known"She whispered, "I'm going in, Geko watch over" She then zoomed off.

"Why not, just turn me into a wimp sitter?" She yelled sarcastically.

"Hey... you're hurting me feelings" Andrew uttered.

Uta broke the door, she kept walking but no guards or anyone to stop her, she could sense magic energy coming from one of the classrooms.

Uta slowly approached the classroom, then opened the door. "I should have known it was you, Rachel!".

Rachel sat on one of the desks with her legs crossed, she didn't say a word instead she was watching the sunset through the class window.

"I'm going to ask you once and I expect an answer, where is Zeno?" Uta asked before she started releasing her blue flames from her body.

Rachel got down from the table, "You shouldn't fret, he is way happier now".

"Cut the crap Ra…"

"No you cut the crap, I finally have him after all these years, there's no way I'm letting him go, what was that you told me once? oh right, finders keepers '' She brought out her demon wings, and her body began to sparkle as she summoned her spear.

Two horns grew on her head and her shirt black hair just complimented everything.

Uta sighed, "I've defeated you before, I'll gladly do it again"

. . . . . . . . . .

The Demons had already carried Zeno's body to another town, they passed over the girls but they didn't notice him.

They took him over to a town called Lionex, they dropped him at the outskirts of a town filled with trees one could consider a forest.

One of the demons, Damian, carried a bag and started picking different fruits from the trees.

"Bro, what are you doing?" The demon asked, as he placed Zeno's body gently next to a tree.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Damian jumped to another tree.

"You're picking fruits apparently, but why?" The demon sat down, "There are lots of fruits back at headquarters."

"It's for him, not me" Damain jumped down with a bag filled with different fruits with him, and he placed the bag near Zeno.

"Are you for real?"

"You will tell no one, back when I was in the underworld, My mom always told me stories about the Successor, the man chosen by the goddess herself to keep the balance of this world.

But with his exceptional power came a curse, suffering, pain, death, and anger all awaited him. I had always felt sorry knowing that there was someone out there willing to make a difference but had to suffer for it, it's just too cruel."

The other demon just stood there, he couldn't understand what Damian was talking about, "Oh okay."

Damain sighed, "let's go" They both zoomed off.

Night came and the forest seemed thicker and more dangerous, the sound of beasts and wild animals became louder.

Zeno woke up to find a bag of fruit in front of him, he slowly got to his feet and started walking, leaving the fruits behind.

His eyes had no emotion, just like an empty vessel he felt nothing, he just kept walking and walking until he got to a cliff, just below the Cliff was a very small village.

He saw children playing close to the river, the river was so blue and pure that Zeno couldn't help but stare, tears suddenly fell down his cheeks.

"What's my name?" He whispered

His cries became louder, he fell to his knees with his hands wrapped around his body, "What's my name?" He yelled.

His head started aching again, he screamed in pain as he started bleeding before going unconscious.
