Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Nero conjured Harpe in his hand and pointed it at the monsters. He brought the sword close to his right eye and found the straight point.

He kept his left eye closed as not only was it bleeding, but it was disturbing his vision too.

He took a deep breath and exhaled sharply.

'The three small ones would be easy to deal with, but the fourth one is going to be a pain in the ass,' he sighed.

'It's a glutton monster who just keeps eating until its stomach bursts, and it does.'

"I can defeat the three in one hit within 1 second, but the big one might take me 2 seconds."

He took one step forward, and as he was about to dash at the four monsters, his gaze fell on the fifth monster he tossed a while ago.

"...." Nero raised his brows and thought, 'I honestly forgot about this one.'

Nero changed his direction and dashed at the monster near him. He swung his sword, and the monster was cleaved into two.

"Now, let's deal with those four and two others who are far ahead."

He took one step forward and disappeared. Soon after, the four magic beasts were chopped into pieces along with their cores.

"Now two left…" He glanced around, but without his god's eyes, he couldn't highlight their location.

"I hate to admit it, but this nerf is brutal," Nero sighed.

He placed his hand on his left eye to keep it close and once again tried to use his god's eyes.

He activated his god's eyes but failed; he tried again, and it was activated for a moment.

He tried to activate God's eyes again, and he successfully did it on the third try.

He immediately glanced around and scanned the area to look for the other two monsters.

"There they are," he uttered with a smirk on his face.

He consumed Harpe and made his way to the past two monsters.

The reason he consumed Harpe was that he used to use Harpe to fly before he achieved the flight ability. And had he flown with Harpe in his hands, he would have messed up the pinpointed location he had tracked.

Upon reaching near the last two monsters, he noticed something strange; they were attacking or moving.

One monster was a long centipede with thousands of legs. And it was crawling slowly on the ground.

The other monster was a colossal titan with no backbone; it couldn't stand or walk straight.

"This brings back memories."

Nero had once defeated a centipede monster with the help of his friends, and it took them three full days and nights to kill it.

Now, however, Nero could single-handedly defeat it without even moving his hands.

SIGH!

He let out a weary sigh and muttered, "Let's end this quickly and go back. I will also have to ask Sophi to heal my eye."

Nero prepared himself to launch an attack on the last two monsters. However, he saw something strange that piqued his interest, so he stopped.

The centipede moved and climbed the colossal Titans body. The centipede ate the Titan's back and entered its body.

Nero raised his brows and uttered, "Interesting."

The centipede was acting as the titan's spine, and it could finally move straight.

"A parasitic mutation, huh?" Nero murmured.

He flew higher into the clouds and watched the titan move at high speed.

'I always thought of monsters as mindless creatures, and they indeed are. But… after what I just saw, I don't know what to say anymore."

'It could be that the centipede acted on its own, or maybe… that's what a centipede monster is supposed to do?'

'To feed on the strongest and become the strongest.'

"Where have I heard this before?" Nero wondered as he recalled those words.

Nero flew up in the air and hovered on top of the titan.

"It's almost as though they are supposed to be like this, a perfect match, as one would say."

Nero made a gesture with his fingers as though he was casting a signature spell.

After casting the spell, he waited for something to happen, but nothing happened.

"...." After waiting for some more time, he wondered, "Did I mess up on the signature sequence?"

He cast the spell again, but nothing happened this time either.

"Argh!" He groaned before casting another spell and moved his hand to the titan.

He opened his fist and closed his with force as if he was clutching and crushing something in his grasp.

The titan stopped moving and screamed in pain as its body broke and shrunk. It shrank and shrank into a small human-sized ball.

"Hmm? The cores are still intact?"

Nero crushed his fist even more as it began to bleed. The ball rumbled before exploding all around the area.

"Good." He glanced around and muttered, "These were the last two of them. I should go back to—" 

Nero stopped and stayed still in the air.

'Why do I feel like I am being watched?' he uttered to himself.

He closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, but he couldn't find any alive being near him.

"Who is it?"

Meanwhile, Sophia had successfully healed Arnold's wounds, but he was far from being saved.

"Why isn't he waking up if his wounds are healed?!" Rosemary exclaimed with an anxious and concerned look on her face.

"Only the physical wound is healed; I have yet to heal his spiritual wound." After a brief pause, Sophia continued, "His soul is also wounded."

"Can't I do something to help you?!" Rosemary asked and added, "I feel useless watching you like this."

"Well…" Sophia glanced at Rhea and said, "Just stay strong."

RUMBLE!

The horizon rumbled, and a loud, bone-chilling roar followed it.

ROAR!

Everyone looked up to see a winged monster coming towards them from the sky.
