My Red Glowing Eyes

The Scorpion ♏︎

BOOM!!!

More explosions are made, Niki staying in place while Scorpio and his pet scorpion evade the attacks. One in particular, catches the zodiac's pet, exploding and poison coating the latter's skin. He screams in agony, falling on the floor.

"Curse you! Son of Asmodeus!" Scorpio wearily stands up. An ancient being is only burned by his own type of poison. Niki finds that ironic.

"Well, care to tell me why you're possessing a zodiac?" He crosses his arms. He gives a chance for the demon to speak, a deathly look in his eyes. "Remember I hold the upper hand. I will eliminate you out of his body. I will show no mercy."

Scorpio halts, hesitant. "I honestly have no idea why, but I was born into this vessel, an unknown voice telling me to corrupt their minds with specific events." He answers.

Niki causes an explosion, the zodiac getting caught in it. He groans in agony, trying to get up. "Be more specific, I don't have the time in the world." Niki sternly says, a palm in front of the enemy.

"They told me to replace their memories in thinking that the supernaturals and humans betrayed them!" He quickly complies. "I don't know who she is, but—!" Suddenly, his body grows weak and he realizes the poison seeped into his opened wounds. "Please!" He begs.

Niki watches with an unreadable expression, piercing yellow eyes staring creepily. "Please what? Want me to end the misery from you? Once your vessel succumbs into unconsciousness, you'll have no where to go." The demon remarks, indicating the demon within Scorpio will die.

"Please have pity on me! I beg for forgiveness! It was against my own will!" He says.

"And yet you comply so easily without rationale?" Niki quirks a brow. The enemy pales, speechless. "Continue what you were going to say and maybe I'll protect your soul." Niki grins, sharp teeth gleaming deathly.

The zodiac complies without hesitation, desperate to survive. "I don't know who she is, but she's no other being like any supernatural. Not a wizard! Her energy matches similarly to the vessel I hold now."

"That's all I need." Niki says and crouches. A palm reaches to hold the enemy's head.

Unexpected screams of agonized pains mixed with a familiar siren's is heard. The demon's wails nearly blocks out Taehyun's sonic scream that echoes. Niki wonders what the siren has done to reach to that extent.

No matter, I have confidence in him.

It's like the flames of hell that surrounds the two men, the demon being extracted. However, Niki has other plans. A demon he is, who loves chaos, still needs to have some justification for this demon. Surely, he can't let this demon on the loose, so, he'll throw him into the pits of hell. Maybe when he remembers after the war, he may bring the demon back. If he remembers. Niki is a busy man indeed, he can hardly guarantee the future.

Niki brushes his clothes and hears the door unlock. Scorpio's body lays still, but he's sure the ancient being is immortal.

When he exits the chamber, he sees Jay whose shirt is burned, but he looks well. In the corner of his eye, he sees Beomgyu entering Aquarius's door, presumably where Taehyun fought. Then his eyes look at Hueningkai and Soobin who wait anxiously at Sagittarius's door.

Behind him, he hears Heeseung rambling about wanting to nap, but Niki's thoughts go straight to Sunoo. Where is the vampire? Not only the prince, but his other friends aren't present.

"Hey, I'm going to check on Sunoo." Jay nods and retreats to Pisces's domain. Niki nudges Heeseung's body who groans, annoyed.

"Hey, go check on Jake. Before Sunghoon comes and tricks you into signing some contract with some evil devil." The wizard gets up and enters Taurus's chambers.

Niki enters the room which he presumes is where Sunoo fought, Virgo. The sight beheld leaves him quite baffled, unsure how the prince was able to avoid all of these weapons stabbed into the ground.

"Was it raining swords and chains?" He lowly mutters to himself. He avoids the weapons, and reaches to Sunoo. The prince has suffered multiple injuries and his brows furrow. The vampire should be healed by now.

"Is it the iron?" He picks up the limp body, but the latter is still alive, breathing lowly.

"Glad to know that you won." The demon looks at Virgo's still body, a large stab wound and blood splatters painting the area around her.

Sunoo is kind of a blood freak for doing that... but it's intriguing.

He leaves the chambers, careful not to trip or let the iron weapons touch Sunoo's body. By the time he makes it out, he sees Hueningkai and Soobin are gone. The door of Sagittarius is opened, indicating that Yeonjun had won the battle as well.
