Beyond the Virge

Chapter 28: Walls of Blood

It was a bright shiny day. The sun was shining. The water of the pond glistens on the shine of the sun. And blood sprayed all over the green grass. Upon the skies were bodies of my enemies tangled in wire and cut into pieces. Blood was on my hands, on my uniform, on my hair, and on Haywire.

A few months have past and my status as the new demon king spread like wildfire. I was told that there was a demon hideout southwest on the far corner of the map of Mongolia. I was greeted by demons of all kinds and sizes. There was a demon with 4 arms, one with no arms. Some with one head and some with more. A variety of demons were bowing down to me as I sat on the throne. Apparently, even as the king of demons has work to do. I sent out demons left and right hunting for the blood of the heroes and those that oppose the demon.

Alerts from many of the kingdoms were told about the demons roaming around the streets, causing terror among the country. Does that make me a terrorist? I bet at this point. The idea of being the most powerful being in this world fills my mind completely.

In 3 months I was able to take control and negotiate to own Gargolas, getting the respect of many demi-humans in this world. Kiara was able to talk to her mother about it and we got command of Gargolas. Many of the demons that lived in Gargolas already bowed down by the time I walked through.

Now, I was able to take a kingdom West of Gargolas. It was an agricultural kingdom so they were rich in food and riches. As I look upon a helpless kingdom being burnt to the ground by my hands, I see people in pain. Demons slashed their fragile bodies and those that chose to fight died without meaning in this world. I stood tall on the walls of the castle with their king's head on my left hand and my gun on my right.

"Clover!" I hear my name called from down below. Looking down was my class, angered, and scared.

I jumped down in front of one I always looked down at, Hunter. The supposed hero along with the rest of the class leads them to so-called victory. "Hunter, it is indeed a pleasure to see you and the rest of the class here. What are you going to do now? Kill me?"

"As the new demon king, it is our job."

I smiled. "I'd love to see you all try." I put my gun aside and drop the king's head.

"Clover, you have left us no choice." Ms. Kazumi says.

The group backed up. It was me against the class. All 34 students stood in front of me, preparing their swords, spears, arrows, and magic. I could sense the fear in many of them while others were toughened.

As I stood in my group, Trarkoz, Umi, Rebekka, Rii, Kiara, and Yuki stood next to me. It was yet again another standoff. Two sides stared at each other. Hunter tightened his grip and charged towards me. Rii stood in front, releasing a blast of icy wind, causing the attacking group to go back a little. As soon as it ended, the rest of us pushed forward. Without a thought in mind, I took out each of my classmates. The sounds of screams of death fill the air. Jack supposedly was one of the pushers. As his claymore swung towards me and I was able to dodge it. Creating a dagger with Haywire, I slide under him as he prepares a jab in my direction. I had no mercy this time.

Sliding under him, I was able to make a cut on his leg. Leaving the dagger on his leg. Screaming in pain he drops down. With a clench of my fist, the dagger covered his leg, crushing it. Looking at him, made me drop my defense as I was splashed with an acid bottle, burning away my cloak. Before I was Axel, about to throw another potion. Forming a kunai, I started to spin it like a ball and chain. As he takes steps back, throwing acid potions at me, it only affects my cloak as I charge him.

I was able to get close to him, getting enough momentum in the kunai to toss it, landing on his chest. He looks at me, bleeding from the mouth as his heart explodes, dropping to the ground. On my left, Kiara has already killed 4 of the students. Rii and Ms. Kazumi were fighting in the far left. Rii used ice blasts, going on the offensive on Ms. Kazumi. Yuki and Ivy were fighting in the far right. Ivy was a formidable opponent, but Yuki's speed was incredible. Umi and Kiko were volleying spells towards each other, but it was clear that Umi had the upper hand.

In front of me, Hunter stood tall walking through the bodies of his allies. His grip was tightened on his pike and shield. He was ready for an attack. I got into a fighting position, ready to counter whatever heads towards me. As he thrusts towards my direction, trying to get a jab at me. However, fights like these always go the same.

"You killed so many lives, Clover."

"I broke your hearts, now your bodies."

"Is this what our goal was!?"

I scoff. "It's my goal and mine alone."

"Do you think this is what Ms. Kazumi wanted?" He thrusts towards me.

"Her thoughts no longer matter to me, Hunter. I was always the underdog of the class. Picked on whenever there was a chance. For four years I was at the bottom. Now revenge is all I want!" I say dodging and using Haywire to create a dagger. As I jabbed his shield, it was able to pierce through. With a push movement with my hand, the dagger thrust deeper, piercing Hunter's hand.

"Ah! Fuck!" he screams in pain. The coils of haywire started to surround his shield, then tightening. Hunter tries to pull away, but in one crack, the shield explodes into pieces.

"You have no defense, what are you going to do now?"

"The pike is all I needed."

"Good luck," I say as he dashes towards me.

I smile and dash in his direction as well. Creating two daggers from Haywire, Hunter jabbed towards me. I was able to dodge and use one of the daggers to dig deep into the side of the pike. It then did the same as the shield. It covered the pike and exploded it into pieces.

Hunter was brave enough to try his fists, but against an armed enemy, it wasn't the smart move. As he threw a punch, I caught his fight, tightening my grip, turning it the other way. Kicking his arm, I was able to break it, bending in the opposite direction. As he fell to his knees, Trarkoz wrapped him in rope. I had a surprise in mind.
