Helluva Boss : of Demons and Humans (18+)

Chapter 93

'I killed someone

I killed someone

I killed someone

I killed someone'
(y/n) continuously thought, guilty of what he just did.

Even though he may have taken the life of a demon, they still felt like a person to him.

Yes, he fought for his life, but in turn he took one as well, and that bothered him.

He heard the other players getting closer to finishing the swings, but because of what happened, it was as if he were zoning out., unable to care about winning at the moment.

But that was only for a moment, when Moxxie would catch up next to him.

"Hey hey wait! Look, I know that what you did may have made you feel bad, but you had to do it, otherwise he would've gotten you both killed!" The short imp explained to the boy.

(Y/n) Glanced to his side and sighed.

"I know Moxxie but..... You gotta remember that I'm human, I can have sympathy for others, and even for my enemies, that's just something that's like built in me, so I can't really help it" the boy replied.

He then continued, "Maybe you couldn't care less about your enemies but that's most likely because you're a demon."

Moxxie then stood quiet, not knowing what to say.

And what could he say?

Because the boy was right, they are different.

Moxxie isn't human like him, so he couldn't really blame him.

The short imp continued walking with him in silence.

"You should hurry on ahead, I think..... I'll catch up" (y/n) told Moxxie.

The short imp then looked up to the boy and asked, "Are you sure? We are competing against eachother remember? I can stay with you a little longer if you want......"

The boy shook his head and responded, "No, I'll be fine man, just go....."

Moxxie glanced at the floor before looking at his face with concern one last time, and proceeded to go ahead, running off to the next section of the obstacle course.

While they watched them play, Octavia looked at (y/n) with concern on her face.

'Man, killing that guy must've hurt him too, I hope he gets better......' the princess thought.

And she wasn't the only one concerned for him either, as Loona was too.

"Aaaaaand the rest of the players have all made it across the swings, let's see how they do on the trampolines!" Wally said to the crowds.

Even though the wrath ring imps were catching up to (y/n), it didn't urge him to speed up like it used to.

Still feeling guilty, he was unmotivated to start running again.

'Am I gonna have to keep hurting people the more I stay here?' the boy questioned himself.

He knew he was in hell, and he knew that meant survival, but still, it's not like he was just killing people casually back in his normal life.

While he thought about it, the imps have caught up to him, and started passing him.

Some bumped with him, one yelling, "Get the hell outta the way human fucker!"

But none of this made him budge.

After these racers passed him, he was now left on last place, watching them get ahead.
