271. The creature of inhumane actions!

[Demon's War: Arc 13]

Innerlight City, year 2020, day Friday, time 9:21 am a sudden chaos began.

Suddenly an abnormal number of Demons appeared out of nowhere. People and Duelists were caught unprepared at the potential extinction and were caught in emotion-filled chain. The chaotic appearence in just a short time had already devoured several people and the fear of being killed has grew all around the Innerlight City center and local streets, with already 5% of the Innerlight Human Society killed and devoured an alarm was set at the main agency and Innerlight City's Guild.

Duelists were warned about the abnormal number of Demons' appearances and were split into their yearly level.

Due to sheer-number of so many Demons, Duelists from the Innerlight City's Guild were split into 10 squads, each having different priority and under one of the top tier duelist's leadership.

With the instructions explained by Toyama Shin, they've titled their operation: Innerlight City's Lineup: Innerlight City Retrieval Operation and has just began on its way.

"P-please, r-run.... You two..." Tears were leaving Maya's eyes as her head was squashed up against the floor while the blood exploded and splattered on the ground, her reamining corpse softly dropped on the floor, when Tsuneo's eyes shook.

Both of the two children screamed into the air as it echoed through the sky, instantly a massive slam was heard and Codey's senses reacted, he turned around.

"D-Demons?!"

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City's outskirts - Hideout - Friday, 9:21 a.m.]

Codey's head which was turned back alongside his upper body froze and was then caught in fear. ("No. How is that possible? And not only a few, there's a few thousands.") "Maya!!!" The two children's scream cycled through the air and made Codey unsure of what to do next. ("What am I supposed to do now? Stopping Tim would potentially leave the risks of so many people dying from the Demons, and if I go and try to fight the Demons, there won't be anybody to be able and stop him, and I believe he'd be ten times a bigger threat than those Demons.")

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City (Southern-East) - Friday, 9:35 a.m.]

The Innerlight City Squads have finally set out to their directed areas and will prepare for a battle that has appeared out of nowhere.

In the wet floor the footsteps were heard and Ellie with his squad continued to close in on the South-East side of the city.

His Squad remained of seven duelists from the 4th and 5th years;

- Ouichi Kunio (A male Student from the 4th year)

- Nagamine Tsutomu (A female student from the 5th year)

- Wakabayashi Jurou (A male student from the 5th year)

- Ohta Izanagi (A male student from the 4th year)

- Fujikawa Sayuri (A female student from the 4th year)

- Miyazaki Yoshihiro (A male student from the 5th year)

- Moriyama Haruko (A female student from the 4th year)

"Masahiro Ellie, correct?" Once Sayuri called, Ellie immediately turned around confused, while he was running in front of them. "Y-yeah." Ellie confirmed in delay of confusion. "Our duty is to keep death counting to a minimum on the Innerlight City's Southern-East side, but as a Duelist who remains on one goal, I'd like to question of additional information. If by any chance we successfully reach the Southern-East side of the city, how will we be able to keep the Death to a minimum while the evaucation of the people is on its way. To succeed in our results, we'd need to leave the people alone and stay behind defending them, but how are we going to defend them if we continue keeping the Demons on Southern-East side without having any proper coniditions of escorting?" Sayuri questioned, considering the event. ("God, why must I be the leader...") "I understand your point, but coming from my mouth, I'm only taking orders from Shin. For now, we'll continue to departure to the edge of the Southern-East side and then carefully eliminate the Demons that are roaming around the area, while we do that and people run, I'll entrust two of you to escort the people the middle, specifically final years. If the intentional chaos continue while the two among you escorts those people, I'll quickly hop in necessary action, but for that you'll need to insantly report to me. But in the middle of escorting, your job will be to eliminate Demons that will attack, as there is no guarantee that there won't be any that target you." Explained Ellie, worried of his explanation.

"I understand your point. But how can you entrust such a difficult task to us? Some of us might be the final years, but we're still in the lack of our fully taught skills." Wondered Tsutomu, who was running right besides Sayuri. "As a Duelist, you're aware that this is what you'll have to go through in future, right? Then focus on your task and listen to what I order you, this could potentially improve your skills while you partake in this commission. Remember, there will not be a time to where one of us will die." Ellie explained, while running ahead. "Y-yeah, I understand...." Spoke Tsutomu. "Anyway, prepare for battle, we already have some enemies that we'll have to eliminate, fight until the very end and don't surrender, or you'll be known as worthless." Spoke Ellie as he stretched with his right arm to the side, summoning his katana. "Yes! Of course!" After listening to his orders, the entire squad that was under his leadship drew out their weapons, due to being in early training and higher years, they were able to somewhat control their Spiritual Symbolism.

Before them had already stood an intense number of Demons, lurking above the roofs, behind the corners and right in front of them.

The Demons had no intentions to waste the time, so they immediately dashed for their preys, and most of the Duelists who were under training felt terrified. "Don't lose your cool! Just fight them, they aren't that tough whenever you get used to fighting them!" Codey spoke and bent both of his feet, he immediately leaped at the front Demon that attacked from above and instantly swung his sword from right to left, releasing a yellow voltage slice that went burning Demon's blood and decaptitating it on the spot, but that was only one of the Demons out of higher number. "These are the first few Demons that we need to take care of! Do we really believe people on the edge of this City's Southern-East side will be able to survive for as long as we're occupied with them?!" Questioned Kunio, when he ducked an upcoming Demon that flew over his head as it landed on the floor on both of his legs with a very long tongue. "This thing is disgusting!" Kunio quickly swung with his blade backward, when the Demon raised its right arm, sacrificing his arm to be cut, in that instant the Demon reached with his left arm in the direction of Kunio and prepared to grab his face, catching him in surprise, but in luck Sayuri came leaping from the side of the Demon and swung her blade from above her head, pouring its sharpness through the Demon's neck, killing it and landing on the floor. "Thank's a lot, Sayuri." Spoke Kunio, scared. "This was the first Demon and you're already backing off! Don't be so negative about your power or fear, fight them and ignore their ugly looks!" Called Sayuri.

"Y-yeah, sorry!" Kunio and Sayuri continued with their combat.

Tsutomu who just managed to avoid the Demon's tongue, quickly cut aside after she ducked and managed to successfully cut the Demon's tongue as it screeched. Tsutomu quickly followed up and stabbed with her sword into the middle side of the Demon's chest and quickly stabbed one of its heart, she quickly twisted her blade and swung upward through the middle of the Demon's chest and face, once quickly twisting the blade in the air and swinging downward, cutting the Demon's neck, decapitating its head.

"Continue pushing through and kill any Demons that attack! We must reach the edge as soon as possible or we'll really lose chance of rescuing those people! Hurry!" Called Ellie while stabbing through the Demon's neck and dashing forward. "Keep going! We'll keep these few Demons on us! The rest of you should continue up ahead and reach the edge!" Shouted Sayuri when swinging her blade in front of herself and decapitating Demon's body, she quickly stomped on its head and squashed it into blood as it splattered.

"Are you two sure? Will you really manage to keep them occupied?" Yoshihiro questioned, worried about them. "Don't worry! Even if we don't, we've been told to fight until the very end! Now go!" Tsutomu added, when sliding her left foot on the floor, followed by the right and then avoided the Demon in front of her. She quickly crouched, jumped and released her Spiritual Symbolism when cutting right through the middle of the Demon's neck, killing it on the spot and dropping back down toward the floor and raised her left leg, the Demon readied to bite at her but missed due to her being very skilled in agility.

So without a sweat, she managed to twist her nearest leg aside and then quickly pressed it up against the Demon's right side of the face, kicking it to the side. She followed up by landing and dashed forward, stabbing the Demon's neck as it lost a high amount of its blood, leaving it dead.

"All right! But if you by any chance finish before us, continue to the edge and make sure you reach us!" Shouted Ellie while the rest of his group stood in his surroundings. "Of course, now go!" Sayuri shouted, avoiding the Demon, turning her entire body to face the Demon and backed away after its right arm was swung.

Finally Ellie's group managed to continue ahead and were in duty to eliminate any Demons that end up attacking them.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City's outskirts - Hideout - Friday, 9:38 a.m.]

Tsuneo and Ryoko were shocked with Codey, they were unable to believe what was going on in front of them. "Die! Die! Die! Die!" Tim kept yelling out loud while stomping on Maya's body, even if she was already dead. "I'll kill you again! And again! And again! Die!" Shouted Tim, while stomping in the middle of her abdomen and piercing his feet through the middle of her stomach and organs, touching the floor that lied on the bottom of the corpse. "He's completely lost. He's already killed. Why won't he calm down... He's done what he wanted?" Questioned Codey, when overwhelmed.

Tim was acting inhumanly and was preparing to devour her face, his actin was similar to a Demon while at the same Fiend. "Stop! You've gotta! Please!" Yelled Ryoko, however Tim's face already bit into Maya's flesh and ripped out the flash as the blood splattered down the floor and the organs bulged out. Codey looked to the side and grabbed his mouth, feeling like puking. ("What the hell is he at this point? Does he even have human's knowledge?!") Codey's eyes were shaking while his face was warmed by the sweat he was letting go. Tim grabbed Maya's left arm and ripped it off, detaching it from where it belonged. "No- Please.... I beg you... Stop..." But both, Ryoko or Tsuneo had no strength of talking nor shouting. Tim raised his left arm high above his back and instantly stabbed it down, piercing it through Maya's chest and ripping out her heart, instantly looking at it as it was beating, after the blood continue to flow down his palm in which he held her heart, he opened his mouth, and instantly a loud crunch was heard behind him. ("He's inhuman! What are we supposed to do! We've got a monster on our front sides, and we're just watching! Shouldn't we do something about it?!") Codey wondered.

Due to Tim feeding on Maya's flesh, he could not see him as a proper friend, that once stood before him.
