The Demon King's Paladin Part 1 Vol 2.

Chapter 247. Hallway Fight 2

" HAHAHAHA!"

" You should be dead old man!"

From Pete's manic laughter to Sarah's yell when going to attack him, I checked on Anna's condition, she seemed to be fine, if only a little embarrassed that she was almost caught by an enemy's trick.

/CRASH!/

Another swing of Sarah's halberd and another wall was destroyed.

" Darling, I'm okay. You're shaking?"

" Yeah, Anna. I was scared for a moment. I don't know what I'd do if h-"

A kiss stopped the next few words from coming out of my mouth.

" It's okay, I'm here, let's finish this and save everyone, Darling."

Anna smiled at me and then we stood up to help Sarah.

/CRASH! CLANG!/

They continued to clash, as Anna and I took our time getting up. But now that I've calmed down slightly, 2 questions popped into my head immediately upon standing on my feet. The first was answered immediately. While Pete was still standing, he wasn't uninjured. His body was still in tatters. The deep cut that sliced his torso was still there. It wasn't getting better. In fact, ... I think it's getting worse?

" I've got you now!"

" Sarah! Jump back!"

As Sarah was about to land a crushing blow, she heard my voice and did as I asked.

/SPLASH! CRACK!/

Pete's flesh began to twist and fracture, blood poured from the wound and new wounds that began to form on the broken skin that broken sharp bones began to penetrate out of.

" HAHAHA! You won't escape me! You'll die here tonight!"

As his body continued to break and reform, an almost sickening mockery of Pete's voice howled at us about dying.

/POP! CREAK! WIGGLE!/

As Pete continued to change, black tendrils appeared from the deep gash that Sarah made. This began a difficult moment for my wives.

" What the hell happened to him!?"

" This isn't right!"

" Calm down, for now! Focus! He can't hurt us! He's just becoming a bigger target!"

" That might be what you think, Human! But in time you'll see it's much worse than that! HAHAHAH!"

Again, crooked laughter escaped the mouth of this creature that used to be in the form of a Demon. From Pete's appearance, Sarah and Anna seemed to be panicking, my words seemed to have calmed them to a degree... But what the fuck is this guy? This feeling he gives me? It's familiar to me... Fracks... It's the same feeling. No wonder? It only makes sense! He's his servant after all.

" Kill you! Kill you! I'm going to kill you! HahAHahA!"

Drool began to leak from his mouth as the black tendrils twisted and covered what was left of Pete's body. He resembled a walking mass of wiggling blood-soaked eels that had sharp white bones occasionally sticking out of him like nails through a baseball bat. For some reason... I'm strangely calm? I think it might have something to do with the fact I needed another question answered for me. Why did he try a sneak attack on Anna? It doesn't make sense? Sarah showed that she was his superior earlier, so why Anna? Something isn't right.

" AHHH!"

Before I could figure out what I wanted to know, Pete... The creature lunged at us like a starving animal.
