Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 26 - The Return of the Shinigami!
"Isn't that the demon race?!" liu Xiu shouted in disbelief.
The reason is, there is almost no news about the summoning of demons to this world by the cult. Moreover, demons summoned to this world were usually ranked Demon Kings, or even ordinary Demon Lords.
And most importantly, the purpose of the cult or sect of a small sect summoning a demon was to awaken the Demon God.
"What's with all this? There was no way a country would close its eyes to summoning demons to this world." now Liu Xiu sat down, turning his back on the fight with a cold sweat pouring down.
"If the summoned one is an ordinary demon race, then once a summoning can reach dozens or even tens!" liu Xiu said as he grew more panicked.
Why would he know all this? That was because when he was going to save Suzu from the cult first, Liu Xiu took the time to learn things about demons, and cults.
"This is this bad this is bad!! For now, I'm sure about those two who are able to overcome the enemy, if they're smart enough. But a dozen others...." Liu Xiu gritted his teeth, furious.
Just imagining that alone made him shudder, not to see it directly.
What Liu Xiu thought was, if the demon race was summoned en masse to this world, then there was a time when they would form an army. Then the summoning of the Demon King and the Demon Lord will not be long.
"Which means, will the Demon Lord Army soon arrive?" liu Xiu asked in panic.
It was a thing he often read in novels, manga, or anime. A Demon Lord who colonized the human world to make humans their slaves.
Indeed to Liu Xiu, it sounded exciting and tense. But that was when he was alive.
Now, as she was about to feel it for herself, the fear within Liu Xiu grew, how she lost the person she loved first, when it came to the same thing.
"I'm sorry, Kei." Liu Xiu grimaced, and slightly punched the rock behind him.
He remembered how he promised Kei to let go of everything, and no longer related to cults, nor to the church.
"I told you that I won't be related to anything like this anymore, but it seems that I was wrong." Liu Xiu whispered again, clutching the black necklace on his chest.
But whatever it was, he would not be able to completely stop the arrival of the demon race into this world.
It was a little frustrating, but he soon realized that was not what he needed.
At the very least, he should try to reduce the impact given. Liu Xiu planned to immediately deploy the members of Black Eyes, to train some people capable of fighting.
As the saying goes, have an umbrella before it rains. If it couldn't prevent him at least he could help defeat him as it happened.
As Liu Xiu was busy thinking about what he should do, the fight behind him had already happened.
He was a little surprised by the wind from the meeting of the swords of Luna and Gerudo, but still cradled the course of the match - whether he had to help or not.
"Beast that, amazing. He could even match that Demon's strength, even though he had already used his race-specific skill." Liu Xiu was truly a spectator right now.
"Did? That demon decided to buy time? It must be because of the large-scale magic earlier." he spoke like he was watching a match as usual.
"Uwahh, that Beast even dared to accept that Devil named Gerudo challenge, but I'm sure he has a plan. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to distract himself from letting the Elf cast a powerful spell. It must be their goal to finish off the demons one by one." Liu Xiu nodded slowly, really enjoying.
?!!
Liu Xiu could only gape when he saw Luna using her Blood Clumping skill.
"That Skill, which is the same as having a Beta! Whatisit? Just incredible! I'm sure I won't be able to defeat him now! No, I'm not even sure I can defeat him even without him activating the skill" Liu Xiu said as he shuddered in horror.
According to him, Luna was now stronger than him, in physical matters. Unless Liu Xiu opens the barrier gate to the 3rd, Liu Xiu will not be able to handle Luna alone.
Liu Xiu continued to pay attention to the fight, until finally the Elf finished setting up the spell.
"Oh yeah. If it wasn't wrong, the special skill of the Demon Race was-" Liu Xiu couldn't finish his sentence, because...
"EXPLOOOOSION!!!!"
"Uwahh!! Such a spell really exists!!!" Liu Xiu shouted in excitement when a magic spell similar to a character was fired.
But that's not the main problem now.
"As I expected, the core of the Demon would immediately explode, resulting in an explosion of the level of a City Level Spell. With the strength of that Beast and the Elf, I'm not sure they can survive unharmed" Liu Xiu said as he began to stand up.
He took a little tired breath. Liu Xiu thought, he will not take part in this fight, but it turned out that his guess was wrong.
"How else, their strength will definitely be needed during the war, so they must remain intact." whispered Liu Xiu, as he began to take a breath, while preparing the horse.
BZZTTT BOMB BOMB BOMB!!
It all happened together with the disappearance of the Demon along with the essence of the Elf's spell attack, and the magic belonging to the demon race began to activate.
Liu Xiu noticed the Beast that had already managed to cripple the other Demon, but looked exhausted. And even the Elves that cast magic were worse.
"[Change]" whispered Liu Xiu, in the middle as he was hovering rapidly, flying towards the fallen Elf running out of Fehl.
That way, Liu Xiu's appearance now turned into a Shinigami, a form he had long since left behind not forgetting the mask that hid his form.
Liu Xiu quickly grabbed the Elf, and carried it on his back, and immediately shot towards the slightly kneeling Beast, trying to regulate his breathing again.
"He?" The beast, a little perplexed when it saw Liu Xiu approaching, and prepared to unsheathe his sword again.
But Liu Xiu had already guessed that, and easily brushed off the already weakened Beast's sword.
With one go, Liu Xiu managed to carry her, and carried them away from that location as far as he could.
BZZZ!!! DOR DOR BOM!!!
Explosions rang out behind Liu Xiu, with the place he had been standing at already being a formless hell again.
That beast, Luna noticed all the destruction while carrying Liu Xiu, and was grateful that Liu Xiu saved them in time.
After a while Liu Xiu ran while opening his barrier, they reached the forest. No, maybe not just until. They had actually fled quite far from the location of the fight earlier, but Liu Xiu ran towards the nearest direction from the city gate.
Just in case there were injuries to Luna and Sara, they could be quickly treated and there was nothing serious.
As Liu Xiu lowered the two of them, Luna quickly pointed the sword at Liu Xiu's neck, threatening him.
"Tell me who you are and what your purpose is!" whispered Luna softly, while threatening Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was shocked in his heart, and was rightly afraid of it, but he still tried to calm down.
"Are you treating your life's savior?" liu Xiu asked coldly.
Although Liu Xiu's cold tone persisted as the Shinigami acted, Liu Xiu's heart actually cried out in fear. Because if he clashed with the Beast it expended all his abilities, there was no running for him!
"That and this are different. Tell me your business!" luna replied again, now the sword is closer to Liu Xiu's neck.
"Ha ha's. My reason, is it?" Liu Xiu laughed calmly, while putting his hand to his beard, looking thoughtful.
"There's nothing special. And you better fix your attitude, Knight lady. Indifference can kill you next time. Know who you are going to fight" Liu Xiu said in a mocking tone. He also stood up slowly, and prepared to leave them.
"Oh yes, and one more thing. The explosion just now was enough to kill you both. It was a special skill Demon, capable of blowing itself up into magic after death."
Luna just kept quiet, seemingly listening to what Liu Xiu had to say.
"Depending on the abilities of the Demons, it could blow up an entire city, or even a mountain in an instant" Liu Xiu continued.
"But-"
"The explosion had no effect on the other Demon. So he is clearly still alive." Liu Xiu interrupted before Luna asked a question.
After giving those few warnings, Liu Xiu leaped away, leaving behind Sara who fainted and Luna who asked in astonishment.
"Who is that guy? I didn't feel any dangerous power from him, but why would I be afraid to attack that person? Is it because he stays calm even if his life is in danger, or because of something else?" luna asked in astonishment, after Liu Xiu left.
"Ahh, this is the first time I regret not asking someone else's name! Luna said with anger.
***
"Uwahh!!! That was scary!!" said Liu Xiu, who is now sitting slumped on a tree in the forest, trying to calm down.
"Fortunate Beast was acting rationally, and not chasing me. It seems like Fischia has to learn a lot from him." Liu Xiu muttered while grimacing as well as slightly shuddering in horror.
"At least they can return to the city in one piece. I need to find the Black Eyes members immediately, tell them about this. Not to forget, I also have to return to the Li family's place so that they don't suspect anything about me" he said while slightly taking a tired breath.
"Huff. I have so much to do because of this. But first, I had to catch up with Rhion, so as not to arouse any other suspicions." after saying that, Liu Xiu started to stand up, making the tree as his support.
"alright. How else. Let's get this over with quickly!" he said, jumping up again soon.
