I Was Born With A Demon Lord Inside Of Me, Who Wants To Kill

Chapter 68: Jetos Outcome

They ran into the castle. Healers tried to treat the wounded soldiers, but nearly all of them were brutally murdered. Sukoda ran through the castle, killing the remaining monsters. The cities nearby were all cleared out by an unknown adventurer. Others couldn't keep up with his speed.

-I need to keep him away from the gem. – Thought the elite guard while slicing Bebels – Who knows what he will do with it.

Jetos killed everyone in his way, walking through with confidence. After a while, he approached a giant metal door.

-Finally, after 600 years. – Said happy Jetos – I can fulfill my promise. I can revive my beloved family!

He tried to break through the door with his void arm, but it was sturdier than he expected. Jetos was punching the door, only scraping after hundreds of punches. He was getting irritated. In the meantime, Sukoda caught up with him.

-Well, last time wasn't it my favor. – He said in a funny way – This time... - He got serious and took out his swords – I won't hold back.

Jetos angrily glanced at him. He extended his Void Arm. Sukoda, with a speed greater than before dashed at Jetos, dodging his attacks. Jetos barely dodged his attack and shouted in anger.

-ENOUGH PLAYING GAMES! Void Consumption, Eme...

-What a cool name for an ability, Jetos-kun.

Jetos got interrupted. He looked beside him and saw Duster was leaning on his shoulder, waving and making a smile.

-Who is he? – Thought Sukoda.

-Hokori!? – Said Jetos in a somewhat scared voice – I thought the portals in the nearby cities would keep him away longer. – He jumped back, cancelling his magic.

-Elite guard-san, you can leave the rest to me. – Duster turned around and smiled at Sukoda.

-How did he get here, I couldn't notice him. – Sukoda backed off, trusting Duster. He was too exhausted to fight.

-How much have you changed Jetos-kun. – Duster changed his tone, saying in a menacing way – Or should I call you Isvell-kun?

Jetos jumped back and extended his Void Arm. Duster disappeared.

-Everything has changed about you. I wouldn't even know it was you Isvell-kun if I saw you in Mal. – Duster appeared behind Jetos. He was serious and wasn't goofing around.

Sukoda was trying to process what was going on. Jetos let out his mist. He attacked Duster from multiple places, but he couldn't hit him. Where he tried, it was hollow.

-*Tsk* When I was so close! – Jetos was getting angry.

He created even more Void Arms. Duster looked like he had enough of it. He took off his gloves. Sukoda saw that a Void Arm was about to hit his hand.

-Watch out! – He shouted.

Duster just looked aside and lifted his arm. The Void Arm hit his hand. Sukodas jaw dropped. The Void Arm, after making contact with Duster, disappeared, turned into dust.

-You always knew this Isvell-kun, you can never defeat me, and never could.

Duster ran around, making every Void Arm around turn into dust.

-So this is the legendary Duster I have heard of. – Thought Sukoda – Never thought he was this strong. – He chuckled.

Duster suddenly disappeared. He appeared behind invisible Jetos and tried to touch him. Jetos could barely react and dodged him. He dodged again, as Duster once again appeared behind him.

-I KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES HOKORI! – Shouted Jetos and went out of the mist.

Behind him, portals appeared.

-VOID CONSUPTION, EMEDIS!

Countless Void Arms came out of them.

-VOID CONSUPTION, REMIA!

A portal appeared above Duster, sucking inside the castle. Duster looked annoyed.

-NOW YOU CAN'T TURN INTO DUST ANYMORE! – Hysterically laughed Jetos.

-*Tsk* He got me cornered. – Thought Duster.

Sukoda ran as fast as he could and knocked Jetos down and put his leg on him, without him even reacting.

-QUICKLY, NOW! – Sukoda shouted.

Duster took the opening, made the Void Arms disappear and ran to the pinned down Jetos. When he was about to touch him, Duster saw he had an evil grin. Jetos had made this opening on purpose. With his Void Arm, he knocked Sukoda away and opened a portal above himself.

-You have fell right in my trap, I said I knew your weaknesses. – Jetos giggled.

Duster couldn't turn into dust because of the portal behind him, but he couldn't stop midair. He fell in the portal in front of him.

-ISVELL! – Shouted Duster in anger.

When Duster opened his eyes, he was still in the castle. His arm has touched the door Jetos tried to break into, turning it into dust. Jetos pinned down Sukoda with Void Arms. He appeared behind Duster and kicked him. When he lost footing, Jetos punched him in the face, breaking it and making him hit the ground with great force.

-Checkmate, old friend. – Said Jetos as he looked over the bloodied Duster.

He looked inside the room. It was beautiful. In the middle of it, in a transparent capsule was a gem, shining in all colors. It was the Gem Of Life. Jetos slowly walked to it. He made all the portals disappear.

-Finally, finally... - He mumbled.

He felt something hit the back of his armor. Duster created a dagger and threw it at him. He couldn't move.

-I won't kill you yet. Witness, my aspiration!

Jetos walked up the stairs and neared the capsule.

-NOOOO! – Shouted Sukoda, who was trying to move.

Jetos broke the capsule and with a truly happy face, touched the gem. His head started to hurt. Countless flashing moments of someone fighting Oneiros corrupted his mind. He put his hands on his hand and shouted from pain.

-NOO, NOOO! AAAGHHH!

He lost his balance and fell down the stairs and passed out. Void Arms and Jetos magic fully disappeared. From the stairs, a blinding green light shone. Sukoda and Duster tried to cover their eyes with their hand. They saw a female figure, but couldn't identify what was it. They suddenly felt a massive presence. People in the nearby city felt it too.

-You did great, my pawn. – Said the unknown female – It all went well.

Duster saw that she tried to touch the gem. From the blinding green light, he couldn't know who she was.

-We won't be needing this anymore.

Duster realized she tried to destroy it.

-NOO! MAYAAA! – He shouted and turned into dust.

Before she could destroy it, Duster touched it with the tip of his finger. The gem shattered. The woman looked at bloodied Dusters desperation.

-I will spare you. – She said in a kind voice.

She then slightly moved her hand. The wall behind her broke down in a split of a second, and with speed faster than Sukoda, she flew out of there, disappearing from Duster's plain of sight. The aura disappeared. Sukoda walked to Duster.

-What happened just now? – He asked in a shocked voice.

Duster looked over at passed out Jetos.

-I have no idea. – Answered Duster.
