The Unusual Highschool Days
Trapped

The mysterious young man got off the big motorbike he was driving, and approached Eric, he grabbed Eric by the collar and lifted the young man into the air with one hand, as if the body he lifted had a weight as light as cotton.

The first to move in that situation was Alfian. He immediately used his Direct Command ability on the mysterious person.

“Down Eric, now!” said loudly. The grip was released, and Eric's unconscious body immediately fell to the floor.On that occasion, Ivana immediately ran over and attacked the mysterious person.

One kick escaped the mysterious young man's head and another hit the face so that the helmet glass was broken.

Whereas just a moment ago, Ivana had just finished her fight with Gio. But he still had that much energy to fight.

“Ivana, get away from that guy! now!” nathanael panicked. He realized that a sizable pool of Ether was surrounding the mysterious young man, an inevitable sign of danger.

Alfian also realized that, because his Direct Command no longer works. Of all the people there, only Nathanael and Alfian Esper can sense Ether.

The young man moved his bare hands into the air, without touching Ivana, he threw the girl with some kind of high-level telekinesis ability. Ivana's body floated in the air for a moment, then ejected and hit the wall, the girl coughed. Had he not covered his body with Ether, he would have lost consciousness.

The young man placed his palm over Eric's heart. Nathanael and Alfian could see a stream of pitch-black Ether Energy entering Eric's body slowly.

“Woy! Lo why the hell?” said King panic at the same time confused because Eric who initially looked good just suddenly looks in pain.

From within him, appeared a black Ether energy that overflowed overflowing. That Ether energy moved towards the sea and united with a roll of black fog that suddenly appeared above sea level. The energy spun, and formed a vortex. From inside the vortex, there appeared a girl with a form that resembled a demon.

Eric had seen that figure where. In games, comics, digital art, and other fictional stories about demons. By human standards, the girl was indeed beautiful. With a proportional body, white skin, and level legs. However, his eye sockets were filled with fire, and from the top of his head appeared a branching horn that resembled a deer horn. Flames appeared and revolved around his body.

“Gue... instead of failing to focus yes, but the name of the devil can not appear wearing clothes first? e... indeed rich minors I can see the rich gini yes?” Eric commented.

“Lo want me to hit the rock?” said King annoyed to hear comments Eric. “gue inget him. who ngiiket me in this place is him. yes, I can not forget” said King sure.

“Bent awhile, this is not Archein lo... maybe not really, this figure you make in your head? I mean, can't it be that he's a real demon? Maybe, the shape is a bit horror” Eric speculated.

While Eric was thinking, the demon girl that was hovering above the sea water started to approach the shoreline. The girl pointed at Eric with her index finger, and in an instant, a bundle of energy resembling a flame tongue grabbed Eric.

Eric crossed his arms in front of his face. The flame was too big, and he could not escape. Eric was one hundred percent sure that he would be burned by the flames, but, in fact, it did not happen.

There was a kind of nostalgic feeling when the light appeared, the same feeling as when he entered the Prince's Archein. Eric realizes that the light currently protecting him is Daniel's The Beast ability which he borrowed a moment ago before coming to the rink.

But, isn't what he took the power of The Beast through Daniel's fighting experience? Eric thought that the power was in the form of a fighting instinct that he would later use to fight with King. In fact, even King is a victim here.

The enemy he faces involves an entity whose existence he does not understand. Because although Eric can be said to have a sixth sense and can interact with invisible creatures, meeting a real demon is something he never experienced.

“Blessing Ether. Looks like you didn't come here empty-handed.” the girl said. His voice sounded strange, like a bunch of different voices talking at once.

“Gue don't know who you are, and what your destination is here for. But, if you are indeed a creature that has been caging King's soul in this place, it means... lo evil right?” Eric tried to serve the girl's words, while continuing to focus his mind on the chain that binds the king. From now on, he was still trying to untie the chain from the king's foot.

“My name is Lilith. You may have heard my name somewhere.I was the first female demon..created with the first human” the girl introduced herself.

“Gue is often named after you in fiction and games. Wow, you are beautiful too.not as serem as I shadow” said Eric trying to show his courage, although in fact he was afraid and wanted to quickly leave this strange place.

“Oh yes? I can sniff out your fear from here. O son of man”.

Another bit. He needed to make a little more effort for the chain at King's feet to break.

“Alright, you're pretty good at hiding your fears. So let me, introduce you to his real fear!”

Flames appeared and burned the horizon, turning the originally bright blue sky's color into reddish. Etther's pressure at that place increased. Hundreds of bodies that were originally absent suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and rose. The undead army was moving towards the shoreline. Eric could feel his legs trembling. But, he had to complete Nathanael's orders.

Just before the undead touched the shoreline, the end…

The chain came off.

“Lease!” eric said as he looked at King's feet, which were no longer tied.

As soon as the chain at King's feet came off, the female Devil named Lilith cursed in a language that Eric did not understand.It seemed, he immediately ordered his undead army to chase after Eric.

“PAK, HAVE YOU RELEASED SIR! NOW I HAVE TO DO?” eric panic shouted as he shied away from the shoreline, avoiding the pursuit of the undead troops who were chasing him.

As soon as the chain came off, King instantly disappeared somewhere.

Eric is alone now, fighting a female demon and an army of countless undead.

No answer, no sound coming from out there.

“Pak..”

A chain emerges from the ground and binds his legs, forcing Eric to stop his movement.The young man falls on the sand of the beach, while the undead army has now surrounded him.

That's when Eric realized that he was really alone.
