Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

At the harbor point, there was a docking area created for the travelers to rest. Travelers who traveled through the sea on ships often stopped there to take supplies and rest.

It was past wee hours, and everything was silent. As it wasn't even morning yet, only a few people were on their daily duty.

Some were loading the supplies on the ship, while some were verifying the assets, clearing the area, and preparing the ships to depart.

There were many homeless people in the allies, awake and waiting for something to happen.

Suddenly, there was a rustling and clattering sound near one of the ports. And a girl came running through the allies.

The homeless people watched her as a man chased her, but everyone turned a blind eye and didn't even try to help the girl.

The girl ran and ran, but reached a dead-end covered by a storage room door.

"You have no way to run now," the man said with an evil smirk on his face.

The girl said nothing and opened the door, and went inside the storage room. But before she could close the door, the man grabbed the door and entered the cabin.

"Thanks for making this too easy, you slutty angel."

The girl was Emilia, and the man was Darius.

"You have no way to run now!" Darius licked his lips and walked further.

Emilia tried to run but tripped and fell on the haystack near the wall.

"Running into me was your big mistake." Darius took off his waist-and-back belt and threw his weapons on the ground.

"It seems it's your destiny to be my sex slave."

Darius jumped on Emilia and tried to touch her, but his hand passed through Emilia's body.

"Huh?"

Emilia's body started distorting and turned into a small crystal.

"...!" Darius jumped back in surprise.

"Did you truly think I would ever let you come near my Emilia," a hazy voice sounded in the room.

Bewildered, Darius glanced around to find the source of the voice.

"I am here, you piece of shit."

Darius looked up and saw Nero sitting on the ledge of the ceiling.

"You...!"

Nero jumped down beside Darius and walked to the haystack to pick up the crystal.

"That was just an illusion of Emilia created by imbuing mine and Emilia's mana, to bait you with it— and you fell right into my trap," Nero asserted.

Darius grabbed the sword from his belt lying on the ground and pointed it at Nero.

"You are an idiot to come alone. Now I will kill you and take Emilia for myself," Darius said with confidence in his voice.

Nero furrowed his brows and said, "I don't know what you mean by that, but I am not letting you come near an illusion of Emili, let alone her shadow."

Darius picked up the bottles from his belt and tossed them in the air, then swung his sword, and the blood from the bottle spilled all over Nero's body.

"Hehe!" Darius smirked. "This is the blood of a real angel, and with the help of this, I can kill any demons. I am invincible!"

"I can kill any and every demon with this!" Darius declared.

SIGH!

Nero sighed and shrugged his body to spritz out the blood from his body. He patted his clothes, saying, "What an idiot." 

Darius stopped smirking and yelled with true terror in his voice, "Why are you still alive! You should be dead."

"You wasted this much blood for nothing. What a shame— it would have worked on other demons, you know?"

"Shut up!"

Darius smeared the blood on the sword and said, "This sword is called demon slayer."

Nero raised his brows as he saw golden light shining from the sword.

"This sword is made from the 'Letra' shackles— the very metal made from the god's blood. And this sword is mixed with angel's blood, wings, hair, flesh, and skin."

"That sounds so disgusting, though not more disgusting than your face— you shithead," Nero remarked.

"It cost me all those crystals I got from the dungeon that day, but with this sword… I can kill any demons— even you!" Darius stated with a smug look on his face.

"I have heard that before."

"I don't know how or why you are still alive even after coming in contact with the angel's blood. But," Darius swung the sword to show off and said, "Once I stab you with this sword, and it touches your insides, your body will turn into ashes."

Darius dashed at Nero with the sword pointed straight at him, but Nero didn't seem to care. Nero rolled his eyes and yawed as Darius stabbed him with the sword.

Darius plunged the sword further until the hilt reached Nero's chest.

"Die, you monster!"

"You might want to look at your sword." Nero pointed his gaze at the sword.

Darius looked at the sword to see the rest of the sword had disappeared.

As soon as the tip of the sword touched Nero, it began to disintegrate and eventually turned to ashes and disappeared.

"Why?! Why don't you die?!" Darius shouted with an inexplicable terror on his face.

"Divine powers don't work on me, dipshit." Nero grabbed Darius' head and kneed him on the face.

"Argh!"  Darius fell on his face and began crawling to the door as he grunted and groaned in pain.

Nero shook his head with a sigh and crushed Darius' leg with his feet. "Not so fast, you asshole."

"Aaa!" Darius screamed in pain.

Nero crushed Darius' other leg and scoffed, saying, "Don't scream like a girl."

He looked at Darius' squished legs and uttered, "At least, you won't run now."

"You… demon! I will kill you! I swear I will kill you!" Darius yelled in rage.

Nero furrowed his brows and said, "It's strange; I thought I would be angry, more furious after looking at your shitty face. I thought my blood would boil in rage, but weird enough, I am surprisingly calm."

"You monster!" Darius kept yelling while trying to crawl.

"Hey," Nero kicked Darius in the stomach and sent him flying to the wall. "Do you remember what I said to you back then when you threatened to kill Sophia?"

"...."

"I said I would kill you slowly, enjoying every moment, every scream of yours." Nero cracked his fingers and smirked as he walked closer to Darius: "And it is time; time for your demise."
