The Office of Occult Affairs
KUG CHAPTER 24

" Huh. Huh.. "

I stared at the figure of the Devil who was in front of me with a stingy breath. The devil has an appearance that is not much different from Devils in general.

A pair of horns, wings and a tail that characterize the Devil nation. Yet the power that this Devil possessed was quite strong, almost on par with the power that a true Devil possessed.

" hey.. Let's show you some more of your magic. You're quite interesting, little boy. "

The demon smiled widely and the fire that enveloped his entire body disappeared with a flash.

I spread out my hands, then the water wave appeared from the left and right corners of the Devil. I close my hands followed by two waves of water hitting the Devil fiercely.

" Lightning… "

The tip of my forefinger was facing towards the sky, and suddenly came a bolt of lightning that came from above the sky and struck the Devil who was still trapped in the water wave.

*Duar*

The sound of lightning striking was very loud. The transparent water wave was filled with electricity coming from the lightning that struck it.

" Ukh.. "

The Demon's body trembled as its body was stung by the flowing electricity. The waves of water pressing down on his body made it hard to move, and the electricity that was currently attacking his body made some of his sparkling black skin flake off.

" Huh.. Huh.. "

I hope this attack I unleashed can defeat the Devil. I've been fighting with him for 10 minutes and have expended a lot of spiritual energy to dodge the attack he was aiming at me.

Even the fire techniques I used could not defeat him. Therefore I tried some other techniques to defeat him.

But when the technique I released was weakened, the Devil managed to withstand all the attacks I gave.

" It's been a long time since I've fought humans. You're so good at being able to hurt myself, you're still young for a human. You have very dangerous potential.. "

The demon rubbed the bloody tip of his lips, then he stared at a part of his body that was covered in wounds. Then he smiled and all the wounds on his body disappeared and returned as usual.

" …. "

" Haha.. Are you surprised by humans? Don't think all the Devils in this human realm are weak. Your luck was really bad for meeting me. "

I drained the energy in my body and jumped up to avoid the fist of the Devil moving towards me.

But suddenly he disappeared and was behind me and ready to hit me.

I focused my energy on my feet and made a pedestal that I could step on and change my position to get away from the range of the Devil attack.

As my body managed to dodge its blow, I saw a cratered fist that made the ground in this Astral Realm crumble. His attack was very dangerous and made me have to be careful.

As my body landed on the ground, my instincts sensed something dangerous. I shifted the position of my head, and drained the deep power that turned into the lightning element and enveloped the entire surface of my right hand.

When the Devil's fist that arrived suddenly I managed to avoid it, I turned my body and released a blow to the Demon's stomach with all my might.

The moment the Devil's body was hit by my blow, his body was thrown upwards. Then I put all the remaining energy in me to follow him and release the punch that hit the tubi.

I enveloped my left hand with the fire element and my right hand with the lightning element. Every blow I made landed on the Demon's body, there will be sparks of Fire and electricity that hit the Demon's body.

' Faster.. '

This combination of physical and magic attack power I kept releasing so I could defeat the Devil.

But when there was a pause in my punch, I saw a small object that went through my stomach. 

"Ukhs.. "

It turned out to be the tail of the Devil that managed to escape my supervision. However I clenched my teeth and held the tail tightly and flowed the fire and lightning magic techniques while throwing the Devil onto the ground.

" Huh.. Huh.. "

I held onto my blood-soaked stomach and stared at the crater formed from the impact of the Devil with the ground.

The demon stood up and threw away the blood that had accumulated in his mouth. His body was covered with wounds and smoke was seen coming out from inside the wound.

Then he jumped at me, I stopped dodging and greeted the Devil's attack and exchanged blows.

All of this happened so quickly and at this time my body was moving on instinct. I ignored some of the punches I received and returned them with a blow to the body of the Devil.

My mind only focused on launching as many attacks as possible strongly. Every punch of mine is filled with a deep force that would make an ordinary Jin perish in an instant.

All this time I followed Grandfather's orders and always withheld my power and did not show it to Jin or any other human.

Especially in a fight, life and death can happen in an instant. One mistake and death will come your way, one carelessness and you will regret it.

So too when I fought with Jin. I must measure my strength so that I do not kill the weak and ordinary Jin.

Killing is not a trivial thing. Grandfather said the life of every living thing is precious, I am only allowed to kill when the situation is out of control.

But it is certainly different when I am fighting the Devil. I can only weaken it if I'm not sure I can go along with killing the demon's soul. 

For if Satan succeeds in rebuilding his body, then I must accept vengeance from Satan and his people who will threaten me and those near me.

Moreover, a powerful Devil like the one I am facing must have many allies and will do anything to avenge me.

Why would a Devil this strong roam freely in the human realm?. I was just patrolling the area suspected of being the next point in the True Demon summoning formation.

Me and Maja did an investigation in a different place. We agreed to return and join when we found the Devil, but I did not have time to leave because I had to fight with this Devil.

Because right now in the human realm that clashed with the astral realm we were fighting in, a 10-year-old child was holding his own head while crying.

It seemed like he had entered into the illusion that the Devil had created and was going through a bad thing. The boy had spiritual power and had a pure and clean heart, it seemed like he would become a victim of the next Devil ritual.

The illusion would be very easy for me to break, but when I caught this event, the Devil strengthened it and went straight against me intending to break the illusion and save the child.

Ah.. I can't feel what's in my body right now, I can only see with one eye. The bone in my hand that I used to hit the Devil looks crumbled, too, but I can still cover my whole hand with a deep force and make this blow from my fist remain strong and I can still kick it using my still strong legs.

I don't know my current condition because I'm only focusing on attacking that Devil. 

" You're really crazy… "

I was thrown and my body was lying on the ground, but I immediately stood up and prepared to attack the Devil again.

But my body lost its balance because it seemed like the bone in my knee had broken, I drained my strength in order to cover the broken bone and get back on my feet.

My eyes were a little blurred, but I could see that the Devil also had a very bad condition like me.

His wings were left only next to him, and his right hand was severed and lying on the ground. On the part of his arm was a bite mark, Ah looks like I bit him and tried to pull out his arm with all my might.

It's just my mouth feels disgusting and splattered with black blood. I could see my reflection from the Devil's eyeballs, I looked so pitiful and covered in blood from head to toe.

There's a hole in my stomach and my chest looks bent inward. My clothes were ragged camping, even though Grandpa guaranteed that the clothes I was wearing were very strong and could withstand several strong attacks and I did not have to worry about being naked when exposed to fire or other attacks.

Looks like I'll have to ask Grandma for stronger protective clothing..

Huh.. My mind drifted and I began to feel weak, even to maintain my posture to stand alone was very difficult.

The rest of the inner energy that I have is not much and I will run out of energy in.

" For a human.. You're so strong, boy.. You really are going to be a dangerous threat someday, I have to kill you!"

The demon screamed and was seen flowing all the energy throughout his body.

I moved my hand and took the small pouch in my pants pocket. Then I put my hand in and took out a glittering green-colored pill.

With heavy eyes and a faint voice, I swallowed the pill and said,

" okay. Second round. "

My entire body was filled with waves of energy and the wounds all over my body disappeared.
