Comeback

It was midnight and In the arena that Sona` and Abhaya once fought there were two people causing quite a ruckus.

"I'm terribly sorry sir, I…I won't do it again I promise. Maybe you want the successor's throne? Take it! you defeated me fair and square. So, you don't need to kill me right? Right?"

In the middle of the arena, inside a huge crater, Abhaya was kneeling down and had dug his whole head into the ground.his short swords were scattered beside him"

"Sigh"

[It's the same old story no matter where I go.]

" Sorry mate you did the wrong thing while knowing the consequences beforehand. You ain't getting any second chances. I'm done with cleaning after the same garbage twice.

on the successor's throne that Abhaya once sat, now sat Sanjay without care. to his right hand, the old sage, Guru was standing as if to observe the scene

"Please no! hear me out! I'll be your slave. I'll be useful with my demonic power"

"Your demonic power? Don't you mean the short sword's demonic assimilation power? Without it you're nothing. You can't even hold a handle to that Sona` guy. poor lad though. he went through hell because of your selfishness. Well, I can't help you with the cycle of hatred. Die"

And Abhaya who was desperately pleading his life while groveling with his head in the ground died.

"Guru, exorcise that small fry in the short swords"

Guru then took the short swords and then called forth a fire elemental. And the swords that were subjected to the fire's flame instantly becoming charred. and then it turned to ashes and blew away in the wind.

after that Sanjay and guru left the arena and walked downhill.

"So did you take care of the young devil?"

"Ya, it was weird to meet an immortal devil after such a long time. I mean they're so troublesome and annoying. I can just erase demons out of existence, but not devils. I have to seal those MFS for eternity"

"Sanjay, you should be more careful around devils. Especially in this era. You know about the prophecies. We can't waste time preventing that shit. we have to face it head one.

"Come on Guru, I took care of that guy. He's sealed in his own subconscious and I put the biggest mountain I could find on top of his body. He can't even think of digging cuz he can't even move an inch. We can come back after 100 years and check on the guy."

"Sanjay…if he is the devil of the prophesies -"

"Oh, no~~it's the greatest demon. ahhh~ he's unstoppable ~run for your lives!!~"

Sanjay mocked Guru with a high-pitched voice.

"It seems the peace you acquired has made you soft"

"Guru…you shouldn't be so serious all the time. It's good to push your guilt and resentment to the back of the mind and let loose a little"

***

[Huh…uhuh.]

His breathing was heavy. His palms were sweaty. He was under immense pressure and weight on his back. He was being crushed by something unknown. It was only thanks to his immortal devil body was that he's still living. Otherwise, he would be crushed to death, under the weight of a whole mountain. But instead of feeling the pain getting more intense, he felt the painless and less as moments passed.

[what's happening…it's like my body is rejuvenating. it's healing itself…no time to waste I should go right now]

His body was like a frog that was squashed, under the mountain. but slowly he was able to move his arms to get into a push-up position.

"should…." with a deep inhalation of air he mustered up all his strength and focused it on his arms.

"fhaaa" then while exhaling air he did a push-up…with a mountain on his back.

[Oh yeah…I definitely like this comback]

then he brought forward his legs to his core and kneeled. after that, he used his arms to raise the mountain from his back. He then stood up and threw the mountain away to a distance where it landed creating a huge shockwave. He then looked around and saw that it was night.

[How much time had passed since I got caught? Damn it please let my family still be alive. The moon is still rising so…]

As Sona` looked at the moon, His eyes got stunned. The blood capillaries in his eyes got more visible and

His black pupils slowly started to turn red. And at that moment if one stared at the moon, they could probably see that its milky white appearance was starting to show hints of red as well.

***

as Sanjay and Guru were walking downhill from the arena they felt the ominous feeling that went past them.

"Sanjay… " Guru looked at Sanjay with a serious face and then proceeded to point at the moon."The moon…is"

"fuck. I told you, Guru, you shouldn't be so serious all the time. now you've gone and done it. You successfully proved the prophecy by foreshadowing it."

Sigh.

"the blood moon eh. This is going to be a pain"

And then as if his body was a mirage it disappeared from Guru's sight

***

[huh. Huh. what happened?]

As sona` returned to his consciousness, he was greeted by a red filtered surrounding.Surprised he looked up to the sky where he saw the moon, which was now completely red. As if covered by the blood.

"pretty right?"

As some looked for where the sound came from, he found Sanjay sitting on the ground looking at the moon.

"Bastard. why are you here? and what's with the moon. no, wait. where's Abhaya? I have unfinished business with that guy.

"in hell"

"Huh? I said tell me where Abhaya is, I don't have any time to waste. My family is in danger so tell me right now and maybe I'll go easy on you when I return to kill you."

"Don't worry I can guarantee both your family's safety and Abhaya's journey to hell. What I want you to tell me is how you became a human again?"

"Wha? What the-"

As Sona` looked at himself, he saw that his body was now back to its normal color. His arms were human.his legs, fingers, and face were all human. He was back to being human!
