Chapter 65 A Snake In Our Midst II

Hina stood a few feet away from Andrew who was still seated on the boulder with a proud look on his face.

"Andrew, as much as I want to cut you open and hear you scream for help, there's something I wanna know… why the hell are you helping the enemy?" Hina asked.

Andrew smiled in response to the question, "I wonder, am I helping the enemy? Or… maybe I am the enemy." He asserted.

"What?...".

"It's quite simple actually." Andrew said before jumping down from the boulder and landing on both his feet.

"How many years did you guys plan to lock me in there?" Andrew asked, his eyes glowing purple as he tucked his hand in his pocket.

Hina looked at him, feeling confused about what he was saying. She drew her sword down and looked at Andrew.

"What are you trying to say? We? I don't recall you ever being locked up." Hina responded.

Andrew sighed, "I thought that would have jump-started your mind and everything." He groaned, "Oh well… maybe this would do the trick".

Andrew locked eyes with Hina and his purple eyes began glowing even brighter, Hina was immediately drawn in by it.

Her eyes were slowly imitating Andrew's, turning purple gradually the longer she stared. All of a sudden, a figure appeared behind Andrew.

A huge devil with an evil smirk on his face and his hands covering Andrew's face was clear as day to Hina.

Frightened, Hina yelled and immediately raised her sword as she leaped back to get some space.

Andrew laughed again, "Look at you go, you remember me now?" He asked.

"Mammon Vee Bond, how the hell are you still alive?" Hina asked.

Andrew's face went from smiling to irritated in a blink of an eye, "I never forgot the humiliation I got from you bastards, and I'm going to repay the favor, you can bet on that," He raged.

Hina lowered her stance, showing no sign of fear, "Warning though, it will be in your best interest not to underestimate me, friend or not, you hurt Zeno, you have to face the consequences".

"Interesting…" Andrew uttered, looking at his hand as a red crystal formed out of nothing.

"See even though we demon's haven't regained our powers to its peak, we still are just as deadly" Andrew continued, "Here I'll show you!" He yelled, firing the crystal at point-blank speed toward Hina.

Hina charged in, slicing the crystal in two which caused both parts of the crystal to explore.

Hina didn't hesitate, she whooshed out of the fire with utmost seriousness written on her face, she had faced Mammon before and remembered vividly how it played out, that outcome, is one she doesn't want to happen again.

Andrew formed another crystal as a grin made its way to his lips, "That's right, come at me, I wanna see you die again!".

...….

Zeno ran to the side of the wall and did a stunt with his body covered in blue energy while he charged straight toward Beelzebub.

Beelzebub smiled, watching as Zeno fell to his position, he didn't bother moving, he just waited patiently for Zeno to close in.

Screaming with rage, Zeno landed a punch on Beelzebub that caused the ground to shatter from the impact.

But even with that Beelzebub was still standing, Zeno landed on the ground and was surprised to see Beelzebub still on his feet.

"Is that the best you can do? You've gone weak… Successor." Beelzebub asserted.

With his gigantic hand, he sent a punch to Zeno that was immediately blocked by Boss Slayer.

Boss Slayer used the side of his blade to block the attack from getting to Zeno, "Lord Zeno, Do you need backup?" He asked while struggling to push the Demon's punch back.

Zeno immediately charged to the front right after patting Boss Slayer on the shoulder, "Thanks for the help." He yelled.

Running straight for Beelzebub, Zeno enveloped his fist in blue flames as he drew closer to Beelzebub with the aim to attack.

When he got close, he got ready to land a punch only for him to notice a portal open underneath him.

He screamed when his body fell inside and the portal closed almost instantly. "Lord Zeno?" Boss Slayer called out.

He tried to move but his blade was stuck in something, "What the hell?" Boss Slayer muttered.

Covering the blade was purples goo that was slowly spreading around the blade, Boss Slayer let go of the blade and watched as Beelzebub's hand devoured the blade.

Boss Slayer was stunned at the view, "Did it just eat my cursed weapon? Shit." He muttered to himself.

He began to move back slowly as Beelzebub began to close in on him. Boss Slayer then noticed a small sword on the floor behind him.

'Jackpot!' He yelled in his mind, Slayer turned his back on Beelzebub and started running toward the blade.

"Almost there….. Come on!" Boss Slayer yelled at the top of his voice while still running as fast as he could.

Slash!

It happened so fast that he didn't feel a thing until it actually hit. Beelzebub sent a sharp energy wave at Boss Slayer and sliced his legs in two.

"Uhn?" Boss Slayer was puzzled, he couldn't feel his leg and his body was falling to the ground.

As soon as his back touched the ground, Boss Slayer's eyes widened in shock when he saw his legs still standing on their feet a few feet away from him.

Gboom! Gboom! Gboom!

The stomping sound of Beelzebub moving closer to him drew Boss Slayer's attention, "Ahh shit, he got me good." He smiled.

Beelzebub grabbed Boss Slayer on the neck and Slayer didn't bother fighting back, he no longer had his cursed weapon so there was nothing he could do.

He closed his eyes as he embraced the predicament he was in, the painful feeling he was getting on his neck as Beelzebub began to squeeze the life out of him was making it hard for him to keep his composure.

Blood began leaking from his nose and eyes and the veins on his head began to pop up, Boss Slayer opened his eyes and the first thing that came out of his mouth was a painful cry for help.

He could feel the blood in his head increasing by the minute making it hard for him to breathe and see.

"H..Help." Boss Slayer struggled to speak, looking at Beelzebub who held no expression on his face whatsoever, to him, he was just killing another bug.

Just as Boss Slayer was starting to fade away, he heard a voice that came from his left.

A portal opened and Zeno rushed out of it in mid-air with the same flames still in his hands.

"Get away from him!" Zeno yelled and landed and straight punch to Beelzebub's face.
