Yggdrasil. Rebirth (Volume 2) The Grand Betrayal

Monster Versus Devil

Ion would begin to morph and grow in size. He looked like a giant red werewolf creature with four yellow eyes. He stood on his back feet and had two humanoid hands with sharp claws. What caught Rize's attention was that Ion stood at least around twenty feet tall.

 "Ah, great he a big mutt now," said Rize.

 Ion starts to thrash around at Rize to squash him like a bug. Rize runs around trying to avoid these attacks. The Crowd started to panic as they thought a monster had come to hurt them. Ion would grab Rize with his massive right hand and hold him up by his face.

 "How is this Alistair? Are you having fun yet," said Ion.

 Rize starts biting Ion's hand which makes Ion let him go. Rize as he falls flips and lands on his feet lunges at Ion's legs and cuts the right one which causes Ion pain. Ion would swat Rize away with his left hand. Rize gets back up and sees Ion attack with his right claw. Rize would go and attack back but would end up getting knocked back by Ion's size.

 "I feel like he playing with me. He trying to make me suffer," said Rize.

 "He watches as Ion grabs his weapon on the ground and it starts to move into a giant battle axe that fits his size. Ion goes for a mighty swing and Rize catches it with his swords and the ground cracks under him.

 "Why am I fighting guys who can crush normal people?" questioned Rize thinking of his last match.

 Ion goes in and grabs Rize again with his left hand and instead of holding him he just slams him to the ground. Rize starts to cough up blood from the impact. Ion steps on Rize with his right foot and Rize starts screaming in pain from the weight of Ion in his giant werewolf form.

 "You see now," said Ion. "Now I will crush you to death."

 Ion would start to feel his foot getting lifted. Rize was using all of his strength and was able to lift Ion's right foot which made Ion fall due to his injury on his left foot. Rize's clothes were tattered and his arm sleeves were showing a bit of his demon left arm. Ion gets back up and glares at Rize.

 "What the hell? I should squash you like a bug by now?" questioned Ion.

 "See, I am not easy to kill now," said Rize with a smile.

 Ion goes and tries to claw attack with his right hand. Rize dodges it a bit but Ion manages to rip off Rize's upper body clothes including his his arm sleeve. Everyone was stunned and even Ion who saw his left demon arm.

 "What? That arm, you're not human are you?" questioned Ion. 

 "Yeah, I guess we are the same in a way. I am a Human-Demon Hybrid or you say I am a devil," said Rize.

 Rize looks down and sees one of the circles is glowing which means he can release another thirty percent of his demonic powers.

 "I guess it's time we finished this fight," said Rize.

 He breaks the second seal and he releases more of his demonic powers. He starts to emit a red aura from his body. Ion gets ready to strike Rize down. Ion attacks down and Rize tries to block it with the demonic sword but due to the force of the attack, Rize is disarmed by the demon sword in his left.

 "I will crush you!" yelled Ion.

 Ion gets ready for another attack with his axe. Rize starts to remember something he saw Judas use before.

 When they were younger Rize was still in school uniform. He watched Judas perform an attack and he created a blast from his sword.

 "What was that?" questioned Rize.

 "It a blast that was created by our grandfather. Some hunters know it and I can say it the way we can honor our grandfather," said Judas.

 "But Gramps never used a sword," said Rize.

 "No, not Gramps our other grandfather, Robert. He was able to slay a hundred demons in one slash with this attack," said Judas. "And I hope one day, I hope you can use this attack like me."

 Rize was able to dodge Ion's attack by stepping to the side. Rize starts to charge up Excalibur to use that attack Judas showed him. 

 "I will show you what me and Judas bond is," said Rize.

 Ion gets ready for another attack, but before he can swing. Rize swings Excalibur vertically at Ion and a huge red energy blast comes out and hits Ion right in the torso which blinds everyone else Ion falls onto his back and morphs back to his human form. He was knocked out by the force of the blast.

 When everyone was able to see they all saw Rize was the only one standing but they were confused as they had no idea if they should cheer him until The Announcer said something.

 "The winner of the match, Rize Alistair and Anna Excalibur as they move on to the finals.

 Everyone starts to cheer for Rize once more. Rize watches as The DHO guards come in and take Ion to the back as he probably is going to be held in jail for a while. Rize begins his walk back now thinking his secret is out and he too may be a target to the DHO, now everyone knows Rize is a demon.
