Chapter 92: "Bad ending"

Because Delta figure break down when they found him in an empty ruined building. Both Sfair and Howks became slightly wary.

They both knew, according to their intelligent assistant's analysis, that the damage received by Delta was a blunt blow that possessed extraordinary power.

Linc wouldn't be able to do this kind of damage to Delta.

But...

What's wrong with being careful?

Although saddened by the loss of a comrade in arms, vigilance the two of them at least save one life.

Howks thanked Sfair from the bottom of his heart.

According to the vision of consciousness shared by Sfair before his death, Howks now know, that their target has the ability to create small scale Catastrophe.

He didn't dare come any closer now.

He didn't know what other aces their current target was holding.

According to the saying, a lion must guard the hare with all his might, never underestimate the enemy.

That's why...

Howks is now still waiting for other lion reinforcements to come to his aid.

Against a pack of powerful lions, even the most intelligent rabbits, would instantly die if he made a move.

This is what howks are waiting.

Until then, he would just hide, and stalk his prey from within the darkness.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP..."

"...."

No...

Looks like he doesn't have to wait anymore.

It was time to set traps, and catch their prey.

_____

"Ha...."

Holding his breath, and exhaling hot steam slowly from the gap of his mouth. Linc, who looked at the map, realized that he would soon reach his destination.

Subway station.

They'll be there soon.

Along the way, Linc just stared blankly ahead, and contemplated all the actions he had done so far.

The result...

It's, nothing.

His brain is empty.

No matter how much he thought, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't think of anything.

Everything will turn into nothingness.

Even the system notification that he had managed to obtain a rank IV thief skill, had no sound at all.

It's weird.

He felt... something was wrong.

Something went wrong.

"Dad, we have arrived."

"Hmm?"

Step on the brakes slowly to avoid friction. Linc snapped out of his thoughts, and he led Luna out of the car.

"[Murdiman subway station.]"

Saw the writing stuck to the notice pole, and the subway wall. Linc nodded his head, and he looked around him carefully.

Fusia is not here.

Had she left this cursed island with the other survivors? Or does she have other business?

Seeing as the dust on the floor was still neat and didn't have any sign of mess at all, the refugees inside the rescue camp didn't seem to have been moved.

It's weird.

Arghghh... Never mind.

Dont think to much.

Escape from this place first, and after that let's think about something else later.

"Luna, we will leave this cursed island soon. Always hold my hand so you don't get lost."

"Hmm!"

Luna held Devil hand tightly.

Smiled gently and had tired eyes on his face. Linc lifted his right foot forward, and he started walking towards the subway station.

But...

Not a few steps...

Blood-red text, instantly appeared in Linc's entire vision.

."[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

"[YOU CAN'T RUN.]"

....

"Dad, look!"

Looked up at the sky with eyes that still had large blood-red text, quivering in his pupils. The texts dimmed, and Linc could finally see the dark sky.

The night sky, the freezing cold weather, the silent wind blowing, the silence everywhere.

Dtrongly reflected the despair in Linc's heart at this moment.

"...Dad?"

"Don't see it."

Get something stuck to her face again. Luna held a demon mask on her face, and she tilted her head in confusion.

Linc, could only keep staring at the pitch black night sky, with eyes already numb.

Seven people wearing the MASFIR Mecha, flew in the sky, surrounding them from all directions.

All attention was now on the two of them.

Like a doll on the altar stage.

All the dolls don't want to talk, because they all already know, what kind of actions they will all do in the future.

This was a tacit understanding between him and their enemy.

As a puppet who is always controlled by the threads of fate, Linc also begins to do his job.

The last fight.

"Activate the Hore storm skill."

With the orders that Linc spoke. The system points he had been accumulating dwindled at a drastic speed, and a huge Hore energy storm, began to surround the bodies of the two of them in a matter of a few seconds.

All of the MASFIR Mechas raised their cannons forward.

On this stage...

There is a show.

A show, a weak person, trying to fight against the strong.

"...."

With a silent scraping sound scraping the air. All those shining bullets came from all directions, and they all pierced through the Hore energy storm with great difficulty.

Each time the bullets entered the storm, the energy stored in the bullet's trajectory decreased, but they still continued to advance forward at the same speed.

Seeing a blue laser as big as a thread, it rushed towards him at full speed. Linc sighed heavily.

He looked at Luna.

"...."

When Luna thought what was really going on here. A tight hug, and warm, began to wrap her body with affection.

"It"s oke..."

Looking from the eyes of the demon mask, Luna realized that there were thousands of blue stars, which adorned the sky with a very beautiful color.

"BANG!!!"

A splash of blood, coming from the demon's body, instantly spilled onto the mask she was wearing.

"Eh?"

Luna opened her eyes wide.

One by one, the blue stars in the sky began to fall to the ground, and began to hit Devil body with extremely high accuracy.

Blood, splattered everywhere.

Luna, could only stand still frozen.

From the first time the devil was hit by the bullet, Luna had never heard the devil moaning at all.

Only she knows...

The current devil was hugging him very tightly. To protect her body from being hit by laser bullets.

Seeing the blood that kept splattering from the bullet hit area. Luna's small hand grabbed the shirt Linc was wearing, and she gripped it very tightly.

"Don't be afraid... Luna is a good girl. Bad guys don't hurt a good girl."

It's because you will always protect me right?

"...Luna... Sorry... .I can't be a good father..."

No...

What are you talking about?

You are my demon knight!

"Luna..."

Looked down, and saw that the demon mask Luna was wearing had tears running down her face. Linc couldn't help but smile helplessly.

He wiped the tears on the demon mask with shaking hands, and he kissed Luna's forehead gently.

"Father loves you."

Controlling Hore energy storm to wrap around Luna's body. Linc controlled the Hore energy storm ball to the subway station, and threw Luna in that direction without any hesitation whatsoever.

"...."

Now, he is alone.

"...."

Standing in the middle of the Hore energy storm with a body covered in blood. Linc stared at the wave of blue stars that came at him once again...

and... He smiled.

"I'm not afraid."

His hands were shaking.

"Absolutely not afraid."

Smiling, and raising his right hand high. Linc started activating his ability once again.

Hope, despair, relief, calm, anger, irritation... All mixed into one.

All of these emotions were channeled into the Hore hurricane that surrounded his body so intimately.

They respond to their feelings.

This, was the last struggle he had.

He tired.

He wanted to sleep.

And...

His body stopped shaking.

The fear had disappeared.

He smiled widely...

Just like the Demon mask he's been wearing all this time. A single tear fell from his face.

"Thank you."

This is the end, the devil's journey.
