The Devil's Possession ✔ (Completed)

Chapter 50 - The Devil was the best Ruler

"I am right beside you, Darling."

"Callahan!" I shouted his name with both in excitement and relief.

"I hope I'm not late," he said as his hollowed eyes met Almorach's and his grip tightened around the devil's strong wrist. His trident seemingly getting ready to pierce the enemy before him.

Almorach noticed his enemy's weapon as well. So, he yanked away his hand and stepped back, his eyes blazing with fury.

"I want to tell you something." I said as he nodded thoughtfully, his eyes not leaving the furious devil before him.

"No! I need to tell you two things, actually." I corrected it.

"Oh!" He thought for a moment and settled himself before me, as if to shield me from Almorach and said, "First, let me settle with him otherwise he would interrupt us."

"Devionth, we meet again." Almorach said with his hard voice which didn't failed to show his distaste.

"Long time, old friend." Callahan gave him one of the tight-lipped smiles he usually gives but with a wicked intent behind them. "Although, can't really tell if I missed you."

Almorach's jaw clenched but he smiled. The rage and betrayed look didn't leave his face. "How are your duties of being a ruler going on?"

"Great. I mean better than you." Callahan shrugged.

Almorach's fists tightened at his sides as his hollowed eyes darkened. "Of course, it is. But it won't be good anymore."

"Ho? How so?"

"Because you are going to get killed here, my friend." Almorach grinned as he vanished before our eyes and suddenly appeared before Callahan with a fist that gave Callahan a strong blow.

I screamed. Blood flew from Callahan's mouth but he hadn't flinched from his place as he looked back at him with an even more wicked grin. "You have become weak, Almorach."

He said as soon as they both disappeared from the sight and appeared far to the ground where Callahan gave him a punch on his gut. Almorach's back curved as Callahan spinned and gave him another blow on his shoulder. A crack resonated as Almorach fell to the ground.

Callahan could have finished him but he didn't. He stayed there looking down at his enemy as Almorach coughed blood and laughed.

"What happened, Devionth? You know you can kill me now..." He provoked as he coughed again.

"I don't kill an enemy who is as weak as you." Callahan said.

"You are going to regret missing this chance." Almorach said and I flinched at it. There was something unsettling about him that alarmed me. He was alone and maybe he was strong but he wouldn't be that stronger than Callahan, right?

"I don't regret anything."

Almorach laughed as he gained his balance. "You are as confident as ever, Devionth. You never failed to amuse me."

Callahan was only watching his movements because he was aware that Almorach didn't come here to get beaten up to a pulp.

"You do know that no matter how powerful you become, you wouldn't defeat me." Almorach said, "You just tricked me that time, but not anymore."

Almorach spread his hands as his claws grew up and Callahan's grips on his trident tightened. Suddenly, the ground beneath us shook and I felt someone had caught me. Caught me by my heart.

A scream erupted from my mouth as I fell on my knees and held my chest with tightly closed fists. Callahan's eyes fell on me as they widened and he was about to come reach me when he fell on his knees as well.
