Helluva Boss : of Demons and Humans (18+)

Chapter 89

(Y/n) and the three demons, along with the other playing residents of the wrath ring, all walked into the fenced field where the obstacle course laid.

The boy then glanced over the obstacle course, smiling.

"Ya know, now that I've got a closer look at this place, I'm feeling a bit excited for the parkour race" (y/n) stated, chuckling.

"Really? Well good! You goddamn should be, we're here to play, and fucking win!" Blitzo replied.

Moxxie and his team along with the other teams looked over the obstacle course, inspecting it's lay out.

"Players! If you look beyond yourselves, you'll see the obstacle course! Where you'll all be racing against each other! That means no more teams beyond this point too! So any friendships you've possibly got between each other, break em apart now!" Wally explained over his microphone.

Everyone who was playing then looked at each other and stepped apart.

All teams broke apart knowing now that everyone would be playing against each other.

(Y/n) Looking at them, then turned to his "team".

Blitzo would step away from Striker and Moxxie.

"We're competing against eachother now so fuck you guys! But you more Moxxie" Blitzo insulted, and Moxxie rolled his eyes, used to his bosses' treatment towards him.

"Fair enough......" Striker replied smugly.

"Okayyyy?..... So no more teams, I guess I'm on my own then" (y/n) told himself, before looking back at the obstacle course.

Stolas would then speak next.

"As you can see in front of you, the obstacle courses's path is in the shape of a circular rectangle, and in the path, you will find; tires on the floor, monkey bars over a ditch, a rock climbing wall, an arch that would require balancing, swinging ropes, trampolines, dodge-able wooden dummies, and a D-Day inspired field with mini-gun turrets to greet you at the end" Stolas told the players and audience.

The audience and most of the players cheered, throwing fists in the air and shouting "Woohoo"s and "Yeah"s.

But after hearing Stolas, (y/n) frowned.

"Suddenly, I'm not that excited for this race....." The boy said.

Blitzo then walked up to him an patted his back.

"Oooooh don't worryyyy, you'll be jusssst fine" Blitzo comforted.

"I'm still gonna beat your ass though" he then added, before stepping away from the boy.

(Y/n) Slouched forward and sighed.

"If I don't die from this, I'll probably die in the rumble" he told himself.

"You've heard it folks! That's the obstacle course for ya! N ur gonna watch all these players race through it! Aren't y'all excited!?" Wally spoke, asking the audience and players.

Like the last time, most of the audience and players cheered.

"Just a theory but maybe if I was a demon, I would be" (y/n) commented.

"Very well then, everybody who is playing, please walk to the beginning of the obstacle course, right behind the black line......" Stolas instructed, and the players followed his orders.

"Fantastic! Now please get ready!" Stolas said, and the players positioned themselves to run off.

"Please don't die please don't die" (y/n) whispered to himself.

From the audience, Millie, Loona and Octavia all watched (y/n) and their demon friends.

"Oooooh, Ah hope ma poor Mox makes it through this, not to mentioned (
y/n)...... Eh, they'll be fine" Millie told herself, shrugging her shoulders.

'I hope so, it'd suck to lose someone like (y/n) in my life, afterall, he helps make up for all the shit my parents put me through' Octavia thought, frowning.

Millie, Octavia and Loona watched the game closely.

Millie watched her husband and (y/n), Loona watched her father and
(y/n) and Octavia watched (y/n) alone.

As the three demons sat on the benches with the rest of the audience, they mentally rooted for those they watched, hoping that they'd win, and even if they don't, that at least they wouldn't get too hurt during the game.

And this was only the second game of the three, who knows how many would last for at least a minute in the rumble after this?

"You can do it (y/n)! I believe in you!" Octavia cheered for the boy, who turned his head to the princess, and returned a smirk.

He then faced his front again, focusing on the obstacle course ahead.

"Ready!?" Stolas spoke loudly over the microphone, tensing the players up.

"Set......." He continued, and (y/n) would take a deep breath.

A quiet moment passed, so quiet that the players could almost hear their own heartbeats.

Before finally, Stolas shouted the last word, "GO!!!!!!"

And the players sprinteded off towards the obstacle course.

None of them have even entered it, and some demons were pushing, tripping and shoving those next or in front of them.

"Aaaaaand the race begins folks!" Wally speaks into his microphone.

One demon in front of (y/n) was tripped by another who then fell down to the ground.

Thankfully, the boy's reflexes were fast enough to make him jump over the imp.

"Woah! That was close....." He told himself, a little spooked by what could've slowed him down.

Forgetting about it, he ran faster, passing imps.

Behind him was Blitzo, who punched an imp across his face to his left, causing him to fall, and then pushing another imp to the ground on his right.

"Take that fuckers!" He told the two with a toothy grin, before continuing to sprint forward.

With Moxxie being one of the smallest imps there, all he was really doing was watching out for other imps who get pushed or punched to the ground and making sure he didnt trip over them, hopping over each one.

"Youch! None of the players have reached the beginning of the obstacle course, n we already have some falling down to be left behind! Talk about eatin dust haha!" Wally hosted.

"Oh dear!" He told himself in stress, as he ran as fast as he can, maneuvering around the others, and jumping over falling imps.

'Is this how the whole race is gonna be!? You've gotta be kidding me man! At this rate, I'll probably make it out with a broken bone at the very least!' (y/n) thought to himself.

While the race has just started, the danger that would be involved did not wait until later.
