Helluva Boss : of Demons and Humans (18+)

Chapter 68

"Wh-what the fuck!? Where did he go!? He just vanished!" The cherubim questioned, darting their heads in all directions.

(Y/n) then appeared behind them in the air, and stretching his arm out, his sword immediately returned his hand.

'Huh!?' the cherubim questioned in surprise, noticing the boy was behind them.

And before he could slice their heads off, the cherubim dissapeared, dodging the boy's attack.

He then landed on the ground, and stood up, as the cherubim reappeared in front of him.

"Just what was that? Teleportation?" The cherubim asked in wonder.

"It was what you told me I should do" (y/n) answered.

"You ran?" The cherubim replied.

"Uh huh, I used a spell, makes me move super fast, so fast it looks like teleportation" (y/n) explained, waving his sword around.

"Well shit, you're just gonna get more annoying for us then......" The cherubim responded.

"Anyways" the cherubim added, before disappearing again and reappering at the boy's side.

The cherubim swung their fist at him, to which he blocked, forming his shield.

(Y/n) then jumped and kicked their chest, sending them stumbling back.

The boy then "vanished", and reappeared above the cherubim, swinging his fist down.

Seeing him, the cherubim caught his wrist, and slammed him to the ground.

Upon hitting the ground, (y/n) felt his oxygen leave him instantly, leaving him in awe, and dropping his sword.

The cherubim then slid him across the ground before swinging him, and throwing him towards a wall.

Thankfully, (y/n) would catch his breath again.

Before he could slam into the wall, he disappeared and reappeared on the wall.

He disappeared again, and reappeared in front of the cherubim, running towards them.

The cherubim formed their bows and pointed them at him, before firing.

But before they could hit him, (y/n) dissapeared again, dodging the arrows which would hit the stage ground.

He then reappeared in front of them, closer this time, and reached for his sword, which returned to his hand.

Leaping towards the cherubim, he swung his sword towards their neck, but failed to cut them when they dodged him by teleporting out of the way.

He then fell to the floor, rolling to a stop and the cherubim would reappear floating in the air.

Sighing, (y/n) stuck his sword into the ground, and pushed himself off it, helping himself to stand up.

He then pulled the sword out of the floor, and looked at the cherubim.

"We just can't wait to put your ass down" the cherubim stated, shaking their head.

(Y/n) huffed and slouched back.

"Man, I just want to get that book and get the hell out of here....." He replied, before dissapearing.

Reappearing right in front of the angel, he formed his shield and slammed it down their heads, sending the cherubim crashing into the floor.

He then landed on the floor and hopped on top of their chest, before lifting his sword in the air.

The cherubim grunted and vanished, before the boy stuck his sword in their place.

"Damnit....." (Y/n) commented.

The cherubim reappeared above him, having their bows pointed down at the boy.

And forming his shield, he'd hold it above him, blocking their three arrows.

'I've gotta behead them, but they're so fast! How do I get them!?' he wondered, frustrated with how the fight was going.

Shaking his head, he jumped up towards the cherubim, blocking their arrows on the way and slamming into them with his shield.

The bows dissapeared and the cherubim flew backwards.

(Y/n) landed back onto the ground and ran towards the cherubim.

He then threw his shield towards them,  and they disappeared, before he would too.

Dodging the shield, the cherubim reappeared in another spot on the stage, and so did (y/n), right behind them.

Positioning himself, the boy swung his sword to their necks, but it bounced right off.

'WHAT!?' he questioned in surprised, and the cherubim turned around, punching him in his stomach.

The boy was sent back tumbling, and dropping his sword.

Trying to catch his breath, he quickly inhaled as much oxygen as he can.

The cherubim then slowly walked towards him.

"Thought you could cut our heads off?" They asked.

"Well you can't! Our wool protects us from sharp objects like swords and such, that weapon of yours is fucking useless!" The cherubim explained.

'Their wool?.....' (y/n) wondered, as he began to breath normally again. 

'No wonder, their puffy wool should be able to protect against my sword.....

Unless.....

That's right!

Fire should be able to burn it, maybe if I use some, I can get through their wool' the boy theorized.

'Alright, I think I know what to do now!' he thought.

(Y/n) then reached for his sword, which returned to his hand.

"Tanjiro, I hope this works, and that it looks just as cool as when you do it, heh heh....." he said, chuckling, reminded of the demon slayer anime.

And being reminded of the show, he'd remember the times when he watched the anime, and grinning in excitement when he witnessed the main protagonist slay demons with a flaming sword.

Seeing the boy smile confused the cherubim, as he was in a rough state, beaten badly and bloody all over.

"What the fuck are you smiling about? Got something you wanna tell us?" The cherubim asked, tilting their heads.

Shaking his head, the boy answered, "Nah, not really, but you're gonna wanna watch out for what I'm about to try and do....."

"What are you gonna try and do? You've got a few hits on us, but that's not gonna be enough to knock our asses down, so why don't you just give up and pay for your fucking sins!?" The cherubim yelled, annoyed.

Hearing them asked him that last question got the boy thinking.

Why doesn't he just give up?

And looking back over his shoulder, to see Loona on that seat, asleep, answered the question.

'Because I care about her.....' (y/n) thought to himself, before bringing his attention to the cherubim once more.

Determination grew on his face.

Holding his sword out horizontally in front of him, he placed his palm on the flat by it's handle.
