Roped Fate
Ch.23: Shan Sign

From a distance, Riko and Ruri saw a flash of light from somewhere, it was certain that it was their comrades who were fighting against the demons, already, the two began to settle into the bushes to see the situation there.

When they were close enough from there, Ruri was shocked again.

“Isn't that creature a phoenix demon of darkness?” muttered.

“What is his strength like, what is a high-level demon?” ask Riko curiously.

“True, it was a level 8 high demon, last year was the year of Tiger Yang, back then the demon power was weakening, so we managed to corner it that time, but it is a pity that we failed to catch it, so we managed to corner it, and this year the creature is back again, probably intending for revenge,” explained Ruri.

“Hmm ... is it as complex as the world exorcist?” ask Riko.

“But I am a little worried about the supernatural power of the current chairman, because I see he is getting weaker,” said Ruri who was a little moody.

“They seem to be having trouble sealing the creature, you don't want to help them?” ask Riko again.

“My job now is to take care of you, you don't protest much,” said Ruri wryly.

“Aduhh!”

Suddenly Riko again felt the same pain as before.

“You why?” ask Ruri worriedly.

“Entah, my head hurts again akhh,” Riko replied briefly while holding back his forehead.

“This is critical ... what should I do? chairman!” ruri's grumbling was getting worried.

“You ignore me, quickly help the chairman! look at him .. his reaction is a bit strange, do not let the creature kill him,” said Riko who continued to force Ruri to leave.

“But I can't leave you right now, if anything happens to you I will never be able to forgive myself, you must understand that,” Ruri replied with an increasingly chaotic mood.

“But how about it?” riko snapped with higher intonation.

“Drust everything to them, everything will definitely be fine,” replied Ruri while trying to calm Riko down.

AKKHN ....

Riko again felt a great pain in his head, the sign reappeared. Likewise with Andi, the exact same mark on his forehead began to appear and spread to other areas of his face.

Everyone was astonished, there were some things they did not know from the chairman, the mark seemed to weaken him, he actually felt immeasurable pain.

“Why are you .. can be this stupid, didn't I tell you before, you stupid ...” umpat Andi was upset when he realized something.

The strength of the five-star seal should have been enough to be able to withstand a level 8 demon. However, it seems that they are having a hard time, this year the demons become more fierce as if they get a new energy supply, it is because this year is the year where Yin energy dominates, more, in addition, Andi's current strength has certainly decreased.

The demon was getting thrashed, if they did not do something immediately, it could have destroyed the seal. Andi was still trying to keep the seal intact, even though he was almost exhausted.

Riko was getting scared seeing this crunch.

‘What if the devil really killed him? I will continue to be haunted by feelings of guilt, because I am the cause of this mess, and indirectly I was the one who killed him,’ he thought afraid.

Riko really felt cornered by this situation, he wanted to help her but there was nothing he could do, because he was still too weak.

‘No, I won't allow it, at least I have to make up for everything.’

They were all almost in disbelief, the seal energy from Andi's passage was already thinning and soon it might disappear, Ruri started to shed her tears, she felt really placed on the two big choices. He started to press his almost stressed head because of that.

“If I let you go, if something happens to you, it will affect him too, say it! what should I do?” ruri said in a panic.

“Quick go! I'll be fine, I'll definitely take care of myself, don't underestimate, you just go!” riko's orders were firm.

“Alright! I'll go.”

Without any feelings of hesitation, Ruri ran to Andi's place to help and replace him. However, before he managed to get there, Andi's seal energy had already completely disappeared, he had run out of steam.

“Sial! why at times like this? if only this sign did not appear, everything would not be so chaotic like this,” grunted annoyed.

Since one of the stars of the seal had disappeared, then their formation would be destroyed.

The devil began to gather strength which then pinned it on the tip of his wing. As soon as Andi widened his iris, a body that could hardly be moved anymore, would not even be able to avoid the full attack of demons that would be aimed at him. Likewise with other exorcist members they immediately looked and were helpless.

‘No! this can't happen, I should be able to save her, their inner’.

The devil also released his best attack towards Andi, Ruri still could not believe this, was he too late?

“Tidaaaaaaaak ..”

BUZZZZ ....

They were all astonished, the demon had actually landed its attack on Andi. Tears began to flow, everything felt like a dream, the feeling of tightness in the chest could not be held back anymore, the mark on Riko's forehead also began to fade until it disappeared, and then there was no more, he really could not believe this would happen, this was completely beyond his expectations.

The fog is still billowing, Riko can't see anything there. However, he still hopes Andi will be fine and can avoid the attack earlier. No matter what the circumstances, they should all not let their guard down, because there was still a demon they had to solve.

With a feeling of tightness in her chest, Ruri was still trying to walk over to join her friends.

The demonic phoenix began to spout fire from its beak, the exorcist members were preparing to fend off the attack from the demon, but unfortunately there was only one person among them who had the water element, the rest is wood, metal, and earth.

However, they will not give up just like that, even with a little energy left, they fight with all their abilities.

Unfortunately in the next attack they were so desperate that they could not give a counterattack. Almost the demon fire scorched them all, suddenly a counterattack came and blew out the demonic flame.

They were silent for a moment, there was standing a person with a strong fire element.

“Rein?”

The man came and repulsed the demon, then he again called Riko who was hiding the area of bushes to immediately come and help take care of the other injured members, who were injured, immediately keep them away from the place.

“Riko ... come! quickly take them all away from here,” Rein's orders.

“Alright, but what about you?” ask Riko to worry.

“This is an order, just do it! you don't ask anymore, I won't lose to anyone even with a weak body, I can still move,” said Rein coldly.

“But, you can't deal with it yourself, it's too dangerous,” Ruri said.

“I've taken Jiu to a safe place, you better keep him there,” said Rein.

They came back shocked as if they could not believe hearing that, this was indeed good news, but they could not leave their old comrades to fend for themselves either.

“Go away, you will only stop me here, if you do not want to die here, then go,” Rein orders with a serious look.

“But how will you seal the powerful creature if you are alone,” Erick added.

“You guys are so noisy, go quickly don't be a burden here, and you don't have to ask me again how I'm going to seal the creature, because I don't think it's necessary to seal it again, but just finish it straight away,” said Rein with a cruel grin on his face.

They were so astonished by the answers and piercing gazes from Rein. Unable to linger any longer, Riko instantly evacuated those stubborn seniors and led them to safety.

Ruri ran back to the place where the chairman was. Fortunately at that time the chairman of Andi was still aware and could do telepathy in order to communicate with other members.

A few minutes passed, and they all gathered again. Here Riko helps take care of her seniors including Andi. He is quite grateful that Ran always carries a bag of herbal medicines in his pocket.

****

From a distance there they saw the fight between the phoenix demons against his clubmates, everyone could hardly believe, that it turned out that Rein's power level was truly above average.

Rein let out a flare that was always carried everywhere, then spread out thousands of spell papers that were dangling from each other, then combined the strengths of the two, which resulted in a fire on a large scale, not only that, but also that, he also manipulated some of the fire light into thorns that penetrated all the objects he attacked.

The demon began to weaken with a barrage of attacks from Rein, unbelievable .. In just an instant he had turned the night zone into hell.

The attack was immeasurable, but the demons would not remain silent either. He gave a counterattack, but unfortunately the burst of fire was successfully frozen Rein into a very hard crystal, even the ice crystal attack went all the way into the demon's body. Rein again cornered a grin on his face.

Frozen dust: ~WaterBlow~ Space!

~Free~

BJP ....

The previously hard crystal suddenly melted and exploded with high pressure.

Everyone seemed to freeze watching the scene of the torment of hell.

A huge explosion hit all parts of the demon's body, a sea of demon blood flooded the night zone forest, Rein started laughing enjoying the disgusting blood rain. Then he jumped on top of the tree and scratched his own hand quite badly using the dagger he was carrying.

“I'm tired of playing with you, I'd better end this show soon.”

He began to scratch an unusual seal using his blood, Andi really could not believe what his friend was doing.

‘Is this really Rein my friend?’ thought Andi.

“Chairman, the seal ... it is completely unnatural, what is it doing? that's not a restraining seal, is it?” ruri asked confusedly.

“I've never seen him before, and we've never studied him either - not how he can ..” continued Erick who looked worried.

“Chairman, will it be okay?” sela Miki's.

“I have to stop it,” Andi replied in a panic.

“But the chairman, it's too dangerous,” added Nana.

“Can't, I won't let you again,” said Riko as she stared intently at him.

“I have to go, this is dangerous for him, I can't let him to use the seal, really can't,” Andi replied with an increasingly shaky body.

He runs to Rein's place, but is again stopped by Riko. With little manpower left he continued to thrash, several times managed to escape, but was caught again and continued as it was.

Until he managed to get closer to where Rein was, in his last foothold he again fell and Riko again held him there.

“No please, don't you do that, Shaaaaan!”

Andi shouted with all his might, Rein had also noticed it there. However, he still finished his seal, the seal that looked so complicated was filled with human blood scratches, he still remained on his stance.

The seal is activated. Riko came back aghast after seeing the mark on Rein's forehead, it was the same as his mark, it was just that the mark on Rein had a slightly different shape scratch from him.

They spread to other areas of the face, but he still did not care. Rein actually used his power to create that forbidden seal.

“I told you before, I don't need to seal this disgusting creature, because I will instantly eliminate it,” Rein murmured with a dark aura.

He opened the span of the seal to capture the demon.

Demon Gate: Darkness ~ execution ~ Killer Dimension ‖

~Destroy~

A black hole appeared and swallowed the phoenix demon into it, then smashed it into invisible fine dust.

Tears began to flow from both of Andi's eyes, this was truly already beyond the limits of a human. He can't speak anymore. Not only him, the others also froze after witnessing the incident that had just happened.
