Unfortunate End

The figures communicate with each other, as I'm not able to comprehend what they're saying. One of the unarmed figures rushes towards me, swinging their fist at my gut.

I swiftly block it with my hands, yet it hurts immensely. Fist after fist, their punches don't stop. I bring out my claws to swing at them. (What was all that training for if it still hurts blocking these attacks?) I think to myself as my claws graze them. I swing my leg at them; they block it, yet they're sent flying.

My teammates being occupied with the others. I inclose on the enemy I just attacked to finish them. I hear a faint voice "Nux.... Nux stop it, snap out of it!" I close my eyes momentarily and reopen them, to my suprise the guild leader is laying on the ground in front of me badly injured. The sky, a dark orange color river's filled with blood and scorched trees all around.

I see Trex laying on the ground injured Piro, Julian fighting these monsters with horns. I rush over to help. "Their weak to holy spells!" Piro yells towards me while fighting one of the beast. (Come on, think think Nux you've healed someone before you're not a full demon, your special think of a spell.)

"Division of light!" I cast as beams of light appear around me, shooting towards the creature attacking Julian, evaporating him into dust. I and Julian rush to Piro's side and kill the remaining monster.

"What was that?" I ask the group.

Their oni they are lesser demons most likely you were played by making you think they were normal people, and we saw your message so we assumed you might see this place as a safe haven with your demon eyes it might have looked pleasant but now you see what it truly is."

"Isn't there another oni then? I was with three people when they trained me." I say, while they look surprised. I turn around, seeing the guild master stabbed with claws through the heart. We rush over as the oni smiles at us.

"I know I'll die, but it's on my own terms." He says before taking his own life. I scream in ferocity. " I.. I killed her! If only the guild master didn't look for me." I say, while crying.

"Nux, you didn't kill her. She knew the risk of coming in here to search for you. You snapped out of it before she died. It's that Oni's fault, not yours." Julian says, while hugging me in her arms.

"But I killed Wiggly and.... the figures I saw earlier were they more guild members that came before you all?" Julian waits a moment. "No..no, there wasn't anyone else sent before us." She hesitantly answered. "Oh, and Wiggly he's recovering slowly don't forget he also has amazing regeneration just like, you," Piro exclaims while healing Trex.

Julian and Piro carry the guild master's corpse towards the dungeon's portal. "The guild knows what has happened in my house. Apart from the stuff inside this dungeon, we will tell them about the guild master's death and then come get you after some talking." Julian says before they take their leave.

A few minutes pass by and I see someone enter the portal. "What happened.... what happened? Did you kill her?" I look at who's talking. "O-oliver I I didn't kill her. The Oni's attacked her when she was weak." I explained frantically.

"She wouldn't have died. If she didn't come in here looking for you. Don't try to blame this on others!" He says while unsheathing a sword. "I don't want to fight you. Let's talk about this. out don't have the others talked to you yet?" I ask

"All I saw was them leaving with masters's corpse. That's all I needed to know," Oscar says while charging at me. < He swings his sword at my neck, cutting it off. > I swiftly duck. (What.. what was that? I saw his attack before he swung.) <His sword stabs straight through my heart. >

I jump back (I can't believe I have to let you use my ability to survive.) A demonic voice says in my head while I'm dodging incoming attacks. I fly forward, punching Oliver's mechanical arm, shattering it, his arm bleeding. (Who are you get out of my head?)

Oliver rushes me, cutting my arm. My blood falls onto his wounded arm. Oliver screams in pain, "What the fuck is this? What are you? I'll make sure to kill you," Oliver yells while backing out of the dungeon.

(Be glad I let you use my power. I'm your resident demon, Lucifer. Don't get the wrong idea. I only let you see into the future so I could survive. Your damn angelic side has still been trying to fight me off, that bitch. Anywho that's all I will say for now cya.) Lucifer says in a healing voice.

Hours pass by before Julian enters through the portal again. "So we've talked to some members, and we had a larger meeting when Jason comes back tomorrow you allowed to stay at my house again but not unsupervised so Piro will stay there we don't want another accident like we've had with Wiggly." Julian says before we leave the portal and Piro starts to drive us home.

"I saw Oliver in the dungeon. Right after you all left, he entered and started attacking me." I tell the group. "He's probably sticking the blame on you right now, but don't worry. Well, talk to him in the meeting tomorrow." Julian says as we reach home.

As we enter, Wiggly scurries off into a corner. "It's best if you don't bother him. He's still scared and recovering his other head. I'll let him sleep in my room tonight." Julian says before going to her room with Wiggly.

"Piro, I was wondering, do you know exactly what happened to me? Did I turn into a demon?" I ask curiously.

" Yes, and no, if you evolve, you stay the race you evolved into. My assumption is since you're abnormal, you could not be a complete demon. If you were, you wouldn't be talking right now, he would. I'd say you evolved, but just into a stronger version of your previous self." Piro explains before we head to bed.
