Chapter 8

"Ugh!!" I groaned when an invisible force threw me against the wall which almost knock me off.
I could taste my own blood already. I could also feel the liquid trickling from my forehead down my cheeks.
It's too dark, I couldn't see anything! I couldn't sense him. I couldn't even take time to summon the beasts I've slain to give myself a time to think of a plan.
His devilish voice is echoing from every corner and kept throwing me here and there before I could even make a move.
"You giving up now?"
"UGH!" I groaned when he pulled me by the hair to lift me up.
I slowly opened my eyes and met his glowing eyes again.
"Oh, c'mon! That's it?" He sneered.
I swiftly pulled the knife on my thigh and attacked him, but he already disappeared which I took time to summon the behemoths right away.
"Outcast, doomed to wander the face of the earth, hear your master's command..." I chanted. "Come nigh thee and serve me... yusiphus!"
The mark on my wrist glowed as a monstrous creature appeared before me with a loud roar.
Yusiphus is so huge, he could kill anyone just by stepping on them.
He's a boar-like beast with feet of a bull and indescribable strength. He's the last beast I've defeated which could have killed me if I haven't found out what his weakness is.
With the little light from the mark of my wrist, I was able to see the last descendant looking up at Yusiphus. He looks neither disappointed or amused to what he's seeing in front of him.
"Kill him!" I commanded and Yusiphus immediately seized him.
I turned against my heel and started focusing to reach the others outside the seal to what kind of hell-of-a-barrier is casted in this place, but I couldn't.
As the light dwindled, Yusiphus' groans echoed in the entire place and I watched there in horror when he landed to the ground, lifeless.
It wasn't long enough when I summoned him and now--
"Seriously, is that it?"
I could barely make his face out with the little light left on the mark on my wrist. He's sitting above Yusiphus' body, obviously mocking me.
My lips trembled when he suddenly rose up and teleported in front of me.
I stepped back and aimed him the knife I've been holding. My vision passed through him and to Yusiphus.
I can summon all my beasts to stop him but I can't just let them die. I just need to get out of this place without releasing him and think of a better way to tame him.
"You see, I can offer you a way out." He whispered, grinning.
I narrowed my eyes on him.
"As if!" I hissed. "Even gods' words cannot be trusted how much more from someone like you?!"
"Even the devil was once an angel," he licked his fangs down to his lower lip. "They became the fallen because they were deceived. Soon enough, you will become like me and to think you're already one to begin with."
I cringed when he grabbed me by the neck and slammed my back against the wall. It was too painful; I almost lost my breath.
"Let's lighten things up, shall we?"
I heard him snapped and a sinister form of light emerged out from the darkness. I don't know where it came from but it just dramatically made this place a little bright as though a moonlight is shining upon us.
"What a lovely face," he simpered. I could barely make out any figures around me as my vision already went blur.
I didn't go through hell just to be defeated like this! Am I still not strong enough?!
I cringed when I felt his breath running across my neck.
"W-what the hell are you doing?!" I groaned.
"Hush!" He whispered and I gasped when he licked my neck. "As my first victim, I'm gonna tell you a secret."
"GET OFF ME YOU--" I attempted to kick him off but my legs couldn't be moved. It seems like I have been paralyzed.
"The only way you can defeat me is for you to give yourself to me."
"M-MAKE ME!"
I gathered all my remaining strength to land him a hopefully not my final kick when he suddenly slammed me against the ground.
This time, with full force causing me to bounce once before falling straight. I wasn't able to breathe right away in pain.
This isn't the first time a descendant did this to me but this is just the most painful one yet! I groaned and slowly sat down but before I could even help myself up, he was able to crawl on top of me.
"W-what the hell?!" I gasped when I met his red eyes just an inch away from mine.
"G-get off me!" I screamed and tried punching him but he caught my fist and pinned it above my head.
I don't know where my strength is coming already as I was so sure I could have been dead when slammed me cold.
"Hmm..." I cringed when he leaned closer. "Your blood... Smells so good."
"Shit!" I cursed when he licked my neck again. "I-I said get off me!"
My throat is so painful, I could hardly utter my words clearly.
I tried fighting back but it's too late! I screamed when I felt his fangs dug through the flesh of my neck.
"N-Nooo!!" I cried but he didn't stop until I felt my whole body getting numb.
"Say my name, tamer." He whispered. "Say my name and I'll let you defeat me."
"I-In your wildest dreams!" I screamed, tears bursting out my eyes in stinging pain.
I felt his grip loosening so I immediately took the chance to take the remaining dagger I sealed on my waist and immediately stabbed him but as expected, he was able to dodge my attempted attack but at the very least, I've managed to chase him away from me.
I coughed as I tried to stand up. I immediately held my neck as I could feel blood oozing out from the wound he left.
He's only standing in front of me with blood smeared all over his lips.
He's way too strong and I know for a fact, I would never stand a chance to defeat him but--I wiped the trickling blood on my lower lip and smeared it against the mark on my wrist--I know he will.
"Spirit of the underworld..." I muttered, waving the constellation sign. "Summoning souls, hear my plea."
Strong forces of light materialized from below, blowing my hair up.
"King of the Northern stars, founder of the lost. Lend me your power, firm at all cost. By the power vested upon me, I summon you..." the mark glowed into different shades of blinding lights. "HARUTORA!"
