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

Chapter 33: Consequences

Rekka was falling.

-Not again... - He thought.

This time, he fell on the ground quickly.

-What a... Pity... - Rekka heard a deep voice.

-Go away! I have defeated you with Whitebolt! – Screamed Rekka.

Hell flames appeared everywhere.

-HAH! YOU THINK SUCH A WEAK SEAL CAN HOLD ME BACK!?

-W-what do you m-mean. – Rekka started backing off and got nervous.

-Kid... YOU CAN'T EVEN FATHOM THE IMMENCE POWER I HAVE! YOU THINK A TINY SEAL CAN SAVE YOU?

The fires got brighter.

-No... No, no, no, NO, NO!

-FOR WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEAL ME? YOU ARE SO WEAK, WITHOUT ME YOU WOULD'VE DIED LONG AGO!

-You killed my loved ones! You're a demon! – Rekka screamed in tears.

-SO WHAT? I HEAL YOUR WOUNDS AND I PROTECT YOU! YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL!

-Without you, I could've lived a normal life!

The flames started to disappear.

-So that's how it is... Be it your way... Kid... 

-Wha... What do you mean? – Rekka calmed down.

-If you die... I'll be free... I won't help you to survive anymore.

-You will leave me alone? – Rekka wiped off the tears.

-If I get the chance to take over... I will...

Flames went away.

Rekka jumped up. He was in the basement. He was sweating. The boy looked down and saw the chains were gone. On his left chest was a black star looking seal. In the middle of it, there was something that resembled a keyhole. He barely got up the stairs, as he was weakened. After Rekka got up, he saw a young maid cleaning.

-Help... Me... - Rekka mumbled out the words.

The maid noticed the weird weakened boy.

-My god! – She said and rushed to aid the boy – You must be Rekka. Let me take you somewhere you can rest.

She took the boy to the living room. It was a big room. She laid Rekka on a couch.

-I'll call Whitebolt. You stay here.

The maid left. Rekka analyzed what the demon said and tried to create a fireball, but couldn't. In the meantime, Whitebolt came.

-Are you feeling okay kid? The seal is active. – He noticed that Rekka had a worried face.

-I, I can't use magic anymore! – Rekkas hand started shaking.

He looked at it as if it was bleeding.

-Isn't that good for you? You can now lead a normal life. – Said Whitebolt.

-Yes, but... I don't feel like myself when I can't use magic.

-Wait for me.

Whitebolt went down in the basement and returned with scrolls.

-Let's check your powers again.

Rekka put his hands on the scroll. He could barely emit MP.

-It's blue this time. – Thought Whitebolt. – Let's see.

Whitebolt checked the LVL and PL. He sighed.

-Listen, Rekka. I don't want to disappoint you but... Look at it yourself. – Whitebolt handed over the scrolls over to Rekka.

Rekka opened them. His eyes started to tear up and he could barely hold the scrolls from the shaking of his hands.

-No magic... 1500 Pl...

Whitebolt tried to calm down the crying boy. He sat next to him and put his hand on Rekkas shoulder.

-Sorry, I can't remove the seal. I can at least help you regain magic. Your physical abilities from your training are the same.

-It's... Not the seal...

Rekka told Whitebolt his encounter with the demon. He couldn't believe the little kids words.

-The seal shouldn't be worthless. If you went berserk from emotions, now, you will need a stronger switch.

-What to do? My training, my experience, it has all gone to a waste.

-Remember what I told you when I first met you? – Whitebolts tone got more serious – Crying won't change anything. If you want to regain your powers, I WILL train you and help you get it back.

Rekka stopped crying and his face got brighter. One maid walked in.

-Rekka, I brought cookies for you. – The maid kindly smiled.

-Thanks! – Said Rekka and took one of them.

-Rest for today. I will let you explore my place. Tomorrow, we will start training.

Rekka slept for a while. After he woke up. Whitebolt gave him proper clothes and showed the kid his mansion.

-This place is so big! – Rekka was amazed.

-I wasn't rich from the start. This all bear fruit from my hard work. You can have a house this big too, if you try hard enough.

Rekka smiled and nodded his head. When it got dark, Whitebolt gave Rekka a spare room and they went to sleep. Rekka was excited for the upcoming day.
