After the sudden vanish of the demons, the Diamond Region, one of the three region where humanity exists, became confident that the demon will never come back again. Not until when one night, the Flower City was attacked by the demons. Because of that, the father of Kane has been killed, and her mother was held capture by the demons. That happening urged him to join the Demon Hunters Squad, and discovered that he is holding a special ability that can save her mother, as well as protecting the humanity.
"B-blood," I mumbled.
My hands were trembling continously while looking, wide-eyed, to to dead bodies lying everywhere in the room. Some bodies were tore off, the heads were separated from the body, and blood was starting to color the place. "W-what the hell... I am looking right now. A-are they all dead? W-what's happening here?" I forced my feet to move, trying to take a step backward but I ended falling to my knees, and cried. What's with this tear?
A minute or two, a growling sound started to approach here in this room, making my heart almost stop breathing.
I glued my glance on the door, waiting for the growling creature to arrive. I need to stand. I need to stand.
"N-No! N-no!" A lady came in crawling, begging for her life to the demon approaching on her.
The demon's mouth was widely-opened, full of uncountable sharp teeths, and its sticky saliva were dripping from its teeth. Its eyes were focused on the lady like seeing it as a prey. The demon seemed to be hungry. "No. No. Please. Help! No!"
I need to help her, but my feet were not cooperating. I was swallowed by my fear that's why I can't move. With that demon, I might end up as a food as well if I'll try to intrude. However, the girl needs help.
Shivering, I took a grip on the rusty metal behind my back, pulling myself and managed to stand albiet the fear draining my energy, then grasped for an air.
The demon's already an inch away to the lady and its mouth were ready to tear its flesh at any moment. "Hey! You shitty ugly creature!" I fiercely shouted, but deep inside I immediatley regretted what I just have done.
The demon's eyed shifted on me. That's right, good. I just need to draw its attention so the girl could escape. "W-what y-y---" I was in the verge on finishing my sentence when suddenly the demon swallowed the girl in a blink of an eye.
I froze under my feet, can't believe what I just had saw. Blood splattered as it continued grinding the body inside its mouth. My stomach twisted. A moment later, its burp pierced through the silence resting the room, then without blinking its sinister stare was already glued on me.
I gulped nervously.
Move! I shouted inside my mind, not breaking my gaze to the demon slowly hobbling toward me. Its heavy step is sending chill down to my spine. I threw a glance on my knees still dancing in fear. I mentally cursed.
There's no way I could survive to this demon. Perhaps, its my faith to die now alongside with these kids.
There's no need to fight, it will end up a waste of energy. I'll die either way. I let myself fall into my knees then a smile escaped on my lips. I could even feel its stinky breath touched my face. The demon slowly opened its mouth while I was closing my eyes slowly.
Seconds later, I felt a swift movement passed by making me open my eyes. I immediately scanned the room to see what I just had felt. A movement passed by again and when I looked at the demon, my eyes widened seeing its body dropped on the floor and saw the slice all over its body in a diamond shape.
"Summon," a cold voice echoed in the room then a circle violet energy appeared on the door.
A moment later, I felt like I was being carried by someone. I glanced on the man carrying me and my heart almost dropped when he springed above the sky then a circular violet energy appeared again when he made a step in the air. He stopped for a moment so I glanced below and saw the circular violet energy. Right, he was standing on a circular violet energy. I urged to close my eyes when he jumped again, and he never stop anymore.
"W-who are y-" I never had a chance to finish the sentence when I felt my eyes dropped off. I fainted.
I woke up bearing the pain in every part of my body. I groaned, then opened my eyes but immediately closed it when the ray of the sun hit my eyes. I was lying on the cold ground and all I can hear is the louding whispers around me. I heaved a deep breath before I decided to open my eyes once again. I saw a man smiling at me, his head was blocking the ray of the sun.
"You're awake," he mumbled then lent his hand so I could stand.
I reached his hand then he pulled me, and I stood. Many people where staring on us, its like their pitying us. Beside me were group of people with a black cape, rifles and swords on their back. In the cape was a diamond logo embedded by two swords. I saw a kids as well looking the ground silently. Dry bloods stained their faces, and bodies. Their clothes were tore off. They're not responding, they're not moving, they are trembling.
I'm one of them.
"W-where am I?" one of the kid asked not breaking its gaze on the ground. "I... n-need to h-hide... they're coming..." she cried.
"M-mister," I pinched the man's cape who smiled at me earlier.
He looked at me with a teary eyes then patted my head. "Don't worry you're safe. You're rescued from the demon attack, and you're now here in the Diamond City, one of the three region where humanity exists," he replied.
