"Demons! Two Demons are exiting the Dungeon!" Frank shouted. "Retreat! We can\'t fight them! Retreat!"

Two purple-skinned Demons that easily towered more than 2 meters exited the dungeons, followed by more than 50 C-Rank monsters, Mermen. The Demons shot Mana Bullets everywhere, killing low-ranked Awakener with each Magic easily.

Seeing the situation behind him, Frank clicked his tongue and stopped on his track. He knew that his decision to retreat was a mistake, so he quickly sent out another order.

"Fuck! Stop! Let\'s kill those fucking things! We can\'t even run away! It\'s do or die!" Frank raised his weapon, a spear, and shouted. "Follow me!" He charged toward the Demon alone.

As he charged in, he remembered the arrow that was shot at the beginning of the monster outbreak earlier.

\'Whoever it is, please fucking help us!\' He begged inside his mind.

Finally, the Awakeners, who Frank inspired, followed suit and charged at two Demons at the same time. Some of them fought Mermen, and only a few managed to reach the Demons. Alas, they were injured, so they had a hard time fighting against the Demons.

"Take this!" One Awakener sent a Wind Blade toward the Demon, injuring its arm. But, its arm was healed the next moment, and it turned to the Awakener who injured it, sending the same Wind Blade back. "Wha?!"

The Awakener couldn\'t react in time, and his left arm was severed. "Arrgghh!" A scream of pain echoed on the battlefield.

Another Awakener attacked the Demon, but his fate was similar to or worse than the previous ones. However, they didn\'t give up. Because they knew that if they gave up, that would spell the end for them and San Diego City. So they pressed on to survive.

Seeing the gruesome sight, Zaiden\'s eyes widened. Was he so naïve? He thought he would be able to save a lot of people, but he was wrong.

\'What am I doing?!\' He gritted his teeth as he squeezed his sword tighter. \'There is no way I can save anyone! I am weak!\'

Once again, he cursed his weakness. He hated himself for being weak.

Saving everyone? Saving the girls? He couldn\'t do anything. He couldn\'t even fight for himself.

"You…" He growled, looking at the Demon with hate.

It was the first time he hated someone in this world. He couldn\'t really hate anyone due to his Trait, but he hated the Demon in front of him. He knew it.

The boiling rage in his heart screamed at him to kill the Demon. His kind self couldn\'t help but to be sad when someone died in front of him. He wanted to take revenge for the five Awakeners that the Demon killed.

"I will kill you!" And he declared. "I will do it. I swear!"

"Then come at me!" The Demon provoked. "Light Attribute user. I will show you what despair is. After that, I will let you choose! Submit to us and serve the Demon King, or die in my hand. Before that, I will kill those Awakeners, right in front of your eyes!" It spread its arms, ignoring the battle that took place behind its back.

"Never!" Zaiden shouted. The light around his blade intensified due to his conviction. His Loving Trait took effect. There were a lot of people he wanted to protect in this place. He knew that his loved one would be in danger if he didn\'t finish the Demon here.

His conviction then made him stronger. "I will not bend to you!"

He lunged at the Demon and swung his sword, aiming at the Demon\'s neck. He knew that he was at a disadvantage in a long-range fight as he had yet to learn any magic, so the only thing he could do was to keep the fight at close range.

However, the Demon was also skilled with swordplay. It parried Zaiden\'s slow attack relaxedly. The Demon seemed like ridiculing Zaiden by purposely not attacking.

"Kukuku, is this your best, Light Attribute bearer?" The Demon asked. "If that\'s all, then I think we don\'t need you after all."

As it said that, its sword immediately was clad in purple light, and he swung it widely.

Zaiden immediately blocked the strike. However, it was too strong. His body was launched back 20 meters away, only stopping after he crashed against a big rock.

Crash! Thud!

"Ack!" Air was pushed out of his lungs from the collision, but he had no time to rest. The Demon quickly closed their distance and punched him on his stomach.

Bam!

"Gah!" He coughed blood as the Demon\'s fist hit his stomach.

The rock behind him got destroyed, and he got launched away again. He felt like his bone was cracking, possibly broken, but he gritted his teeth to regain his balance.

He couldn\'t die here. If he died, then who would save the heroines?

Ultimately, he managed to regain his balance and landed on his feet. He quickly raised his head to look at the Demon, but to his surprise, the Demon surprisingly stopped on its track, looking in the direction of the dungeon while frowning.

It was his chance to attack the Demon. Enduring the pain he felt in his body, Zaiden launched himself toward the Demon while thrusting his sword.

He quickly reached the Demon with his battered body that was full of bruises and blood. Once again, he gritted his teeth to endure the pain he felt and thrust his sword at the Demon\'s heart, their power source.

But, the Demon noticed him.

"Don\'t bother me for now." It said as it swung its sword, blocking Zaiden\'s thrust and shattering his sword.

"You are a nuisance for a small fry." The Demon pointed its finger at Zaiden without looking at him.

From his finger, a small purple ball similar to what he made to kill the five Awakeners earlier was shot toward Zaiden.

The ball hit Zaiden\'s body, creating a small explosion that blew him away. His clothes burned, and he crashed to the ground 3 meters away.

"Weakling." The Demon muttered, glancing at Zaiden.

Zaiden\'s eyes were closed. He was unconscious. His chest was moving up and down, a sign that his life had yet to be forfeit.

"Oh? He survived that blast?" The Demon muttered in an amused tone. It turned around, approaching Zaiden\'s body, and raised its sword, about to swing it down to deal a finishing blow. "You are too dangerous, Light Attribute bearer. All for the Demon King."

As the Demon swung its sword, it grinned. An Awakener who possessed a Light Attribute Mana would be a problem for Demons, who were weak against Light Attribute Mana. So, killing him in this place would be beneficial for its race.

However, as its sword was about to behead Zaiden, a white arrow knocked its sword and shattered it instantly.

Clink– Shatter!

The Demon immediately looked in the direction where the arrow came from. It recognized the arrow. It was an arrow that revealed its identity.

In the distance, atop a hill 100 meters away, a man in black attire and mask lowered his bow that was used to shoot the earlier arrow.

The Demon went mad when it saw the man. Its face contorted into something ugly as it roared.

"Who are you?! How are there 2 Light Attribute bearers at the same place?!"

An Awakener who could use Light Attribute Mana was rare. For that reason, the Demon didn\'t expect there to be two Awakeners who used Light Attribute Mana near the dungeon.

It thought the arrow earlier was made from Magic by Zaiden, who was lying on the ground unconscious.

But, it guessed wrong. The one who shot the arrow was the man in black in the distance.

The man seemed to sneer at the Demon as he raised his bow again. As soon as he raised his bow and pulled the bowstring made from Mana, a big Mana Arrow covered in black flame formed in his hand.

The Mana Arrow seemed to be more dangerous than the previous two that hit the Demon. Seeing that, dread washed over its body as it roared wildly.

"Graaaa!!! Like I will allow you!" Two purple wings sprouted from the Demon\'s back.

It immediately flapped them wildly, pushing the dirt away, creating a cloud of dust that hid its body.

A second later, it shot out toward the sky before diving straight into the man holding the bow. Its speed increased as the gravity pulled its body.

It had no sword anymore, but it still had Magic. It covered its body in a dark purple Mana to increase its defense.

But, the man below him didn\'t seem to care about it. Slowly, his right hand moved and released the arrow he had been holding while muttering in a lower voice.

"Well, at least that fucker tried."

The arrow he released became bigger as it shot toward the Demon. It became something like a meteor that approached it without mercy while leaving a flaming black trail. Seeing the arrow, the Demon questioned his decision of coming closer.

\'That will kill me instantly!\' The Demon thought as it quickly dived down, trying to dodge the arrow. It desperately tried to increase its speed by flapping its wings vigorously.

However, the arrow had no mercy. It became bigger again and grazed the Demon before it could evade it. The lower half body of the Demon got engulfed in the black flame that trailed behind the arrow, instantly turning it into dust.

The arrow immediately vanished into thin air, but the flame that burned the Demon\'s body still slowly ate its body away. The Demon recognized what kind of flame it was, and its eyes widened.

"How?! How could a lowly Human use this flame?!" It shouted as it fell to the ground.

Thud!

The Demon fell right beside the man. It raised its head, glaring at the man in disbelief.

"Tell me, Human! How can you use Hell Flame?! No Human could survive if they used a Dark Attribute Mana without protection! They will be cursed forever! So how! How are you still fine after using that?!"

The Man looked down at the Demon as it pointed its bow at its heart. A bright white Mana Arrow appeared in his hand as he pulled the bowstring.

Usually, the Demon would be afraid when they faced death. But not now.

The Demon\'s head was filled with curiosity. It didn\'t even care about missing its lower body and the flame that slowly burned his body to a crisp.

No human had ever survived after they used Dark Attributed Mana. At worst, they would die on the spot, and at best, they would be cursed.

But, the human in front of it was fine. He wasn\'t cursed, and he was clearly alive. So, the Demon made an assumption in the absurd situation it was in.

\'I found him!\' The Demon thought excitedly. It tried to send a signal to its comrade.

Demons were connected by a connection since they were born, as they had been born with one goal, to serve the Demon King.

Hence, it could communicate with its comrade from a certain distance by imbuing its voice with Mana.

"I found hi–" As the Demon was about to say something, the man released the bowstring, and the arrow pierced the Demon\'s heart, killing it instantly as it turned into dust.

"You talk too much shit." The man said as he turned to Zaiden who was lying on the ground. "I think that\'s a pass for him. He\'s holding on better than the original." His voice carried a hint of amusement, as if he was happy that Zaiden lay unconscious with a battered body on the ground.

"Now then…" He moved slowly toward Zaiden. "I guess there are enough victims." He said.

The Awakeners that died from the monsters and the Demons\' attack were not only men. Some of them were women, and they were the prime target for the Witch Factor. The man, Rai, crouched in front of Zaiden and looked at his situation.

"Alright, he\'s still fine. If he died from this much, he would not be able to save the world." He picked him up, carrying him on his shoulder.

No Awakeners looked at them, and Rai\'s coat moved, engulfing them in the darkness.

"It\'s time for some target practice." Then both of them disappeared from the spot.
