Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 191: Bloody Night X

[Tekoa Town]

After the destructive flash of light erupted in the Mayor's estate, it soon then dissipated without occurring additional destruction to the surroundings. It simply destroyed a pacific area in the mansion, as if someone had suppressed its power. Even though no one knows how this happened, it was already thankful enough that the destruction was limited to a specific area.

With this said, Amit was lying on the floor, gasping for her breath, as she lost all the feeling on her limbs. Apparently due to Sato's attack, all her limbs were obliterated in exchange for dealing a significant wound on Sato. Even though she manage to land a hit, her situation was far worse than Sato himself.

On the otherhand, Sato was limping on his sword, as he was clutching his wound, due to Amit successfully stabbing him on his liver. If not treated immediately, this may lead to successive organ failure which can result to his death. Unluckily during this time, his limit break came to an end, causing his body to suddenly feel all the pain he had incurred during his limit break state.

He literally felt like dying as if his whole body was breaking apart like a glass. Each and every step he takes felt so heavy, his breath was slow on the rhythm, it truly felt like he was dying. However he refused to fall down. He was a hero, a hero who has the mission to protect the world from the demons. He was given a task to defeat the demons of this world and to prepare for the inevitable war. A literal trump card.

In this moment he was training himself, preparing for the inevitable battle. If he lose now to a person who is not even a demon, how would he be able to handle the war that was about to come. As far as he knows, the demons are far stronger than any opponent that he has faced so far.

With that, he then forced himself to walk towards Amit who was lying on the destroyed pile of bricks and stones, as he saw her laugh at him, after looking at his state.

"Gahaha-.... your dying, that's great.... if I die, I'll atleast bring one of you with me and surprisingly... the most annoying out of the bunch of them will be coming along with me in hell"

"Is that all you have to say for yourself? Don't you feel sorry for what you guys did to Ester and other people who I presumed you've done the same?"

"..... I... regret nothing"

The moment Amit said that, Sato closed his eyes, as he hesitated for a moment, before delivering a final blow by stabbing amits neck.

The feeling of his sword stabbing through the life of another human being, Sato couldn't help but feel sick, as he didn't expect that he had to kill a human being himself. Even though he had prepared his mind to kill a human being in the past if he or she is evil for the sake of peace, it seems like he still wasn't prepared for actually doing the deed itself.

Killing a human was still a bit too much for him considering he came from a world where such act is considered murder. However he refuse to vomit on the spot as he pulled out his sword and slowly walk away.

While amit is lying on the floor dead, Sato was going to check Takahashi's state, when he suddenly felt his energy leaving his body as if his adrenaline had been sucked out of him, as he fell on the ground face first and slowly lose his consciousness.

Just like that Sato and Takahashi's battle had ended with both sides unable to continue the battle any longer.

Moving on just right outside the Mayor's estate, Lucifer is simply shocked and surprised by how much the hero had grown in this situation. However even though he had indeed improved, he is still far away till he reach his maximum potential and stand on the level of upper beings.
