Chapter 23 - Demon (1)
The space and the area were both covered by the red energy that exploded from nigo
Crash!
The buildings surrounding the area for five hundred metres all shattered under the brilliant radiance of this formidable energy
Rumble!
The ground for three thousand kilometres vibrated in the wake of the catastrophic explosion.
"!!!"
Granny chi who was in the house, turned to look outside the house through the kitchen windows, her brows furrowed because nigo's aura was in the middle of the explosion..... no, the explosion came from nigo.
"What is going on?" she said as her gaze grew serious
Whoosh!
She disappeared instantly.
The members of the gang were all blasted far away with blood oozing out of their bodies, they were all barely conscious
Nigo with the red chaotic aura around him was in the middle of a five hundred metre hole that his energy made in the ground
Ah!
The bloodcurdling scream of pain filled the air as the leader of the thugs body descended from above, Yes from above! He was falling from a hundred metres in the air and really fast at that!
The blast from nigo's explosive energy had sent him flying into the air.
BAM!
He crashed into the ground beneath him with force, he was missing an arm from his body, the very arm nigo had caught when he used it to unleash an attack at nigo.
Blood sprayed from his wounds as his body writhed with pain from the injuries around his body
Whoosh!
Granny chi appeared at the scene of the explosion, her eyes trembling because of the gruesome sight before her.
The massive hole in the ground, the bodies lying around and the figure radiating a powerful energy at the epicentre of the calamity.
Despite being covered by dust, nigo's aura could still be sensed by Granny chi but that wasn't the only thing, nigo was also the one with the powerful aura
At this moment, experts from different locations started arriving one by one, they were all shocked by who would dare to cause such level of destruction in the area.
Some of them were even the agency in charge of guarding the area.
"What is going on?" The police officer asked as he looked at the destruction before him
"There is a strange energy in the middle of the explosion" his subordinate said in response
"Who would dare make a ruckus and disturb the peace in this place, are you tired of living!" One of the top experts that resided in the area thundered, as he arrived in rage.
"Greetings senior chi" Another expert said looking at senior chi from behind.
It was at this moment, they all noticed senior chi was there standing.
"Greetings senior chi-------"
They all began to say one after the other
Granny chi turned to look at them and said "There is no time for greetings, quick! Hurry and rescue those that were affected by the explosion while the rest of you work on evacuating the people around, I will handle this"
They all looked at her with the face of astonishment, it was because though they couldn't tell her actual strength due to her subdued aura, they all knew that she is known to be one of the top experts in existence.
Someone even the Flame emperor had to speak to with reverence
"Senior chi, there is no need to bother yourself with such a trivial matter, that is why we are here to handle it" The police officer said
"Can you tell the strength of the strange aura that you feel?" Granny chi asked
It was now the police officer took his time to probe the aura closely, but to his shock and astonishment
He couldn't tell, there was something blocking him and not just that, he felt a form of suppression from it, one that shook his liaison core and even his soul and spirit
He turned to look at some of the experts who had probed the aura with him, they all had the same expression on their faces
"Forgive me for my foolishness, I didn't know what I was saying" he said to senior chi with his head bowed slightly
"Hurry and evacuate the masses, I will handle this, now go!" Granny chi gave an order, one that she rarely did. It is because she knew nigo was the source of the energy and if it were to be exposed, they all won't live peaceful lives anymore.
Not to mention that people around them would live in fear, she didn't know what the cause was but she just couldn't let them see nigo as the dust covering him was beginning to clear out of sight
"You heard the lady, hurry and evacuate! " The top expert who had shouted earlier shouted as he departed
Others followed suit as he left, some of the experts carried the thugs away as well, leaving only granny chi with the strange being
The four experts from the United Allied forces were to guard nigo at any place except his house and environs, it is because it wasn't needed, or 'so' the Guardian thought when he was giving them the duty. Not mention that Granny chi was around
After they left, Granny chi looked at the dust that was clearing away with a serious face, she had a vague idea of where nigo's power had come from but.....that was impossible
Nigo stood in the middle of the attack staring at granny chi, his handsome face had become covered in the red energy and it was radiating an emotion. One that if any one looked on it they would instantly feel
It is the Feeling of RAGE!
Nigo's silver eyes had disappeared, his purple hair floated in the air due to the berserk energy around him
His childish face void of emotion and innocence, he looked like a handsome Demon
"Nigo can you hear me?" Granny chi asked looking at nigo, she wasn't certain of what she felt when she hadn't seen him before but now she was certain of it. To be honest, she just had to ask that question to be certain
"This aura is really that of a third gate user and it is not something he can control" she thought to herself as she stared at the quiet nigo before her.
The earth and the universe with it is the first gate and plane of existence and the Requim gate where the spirits mainly inhabited is the second plane of existence.
In terms of power and user strength the two gates were almost equal, although due to the appearance of anomalies among humans in recent years, humans became more powerful than the spirits
After that gate is the next one, a gate that denizens of the first two gates barely interact with, ■The Primordial Gate of Celestial Beasts■
The gate had the most powerful control over the elements of nature, they would barely agree to combine their strengths with humans but when they did, the human would become ridiculously powerful!
Nigo has just awakened such power but the disturbing thing is that in order to have one of this Primordial celestial beast, a human would first need a contract which Granny chi knew he didn't have.
And to make matters worse, if the individual can't control their power the beast would control the human.
The good thing was that nigo had not yet fused with the beast completely and from the looks of it, he is just barely touching the shreds of it's power
"Sigh..." granny chi sighed but to her surprise nigo had not moved an inch, he just stood looking at her.
She floated into the sky, levitating.
She released her pressure on nigo trying to keep him in place so, she could knock him out, that was the only way to stop him at this point, she couldn't bring herself to harm him so she had to attack him with caution
Her pressure caused space to tremble, the earth around nigo continued to cave in under the pressure but......
Nigo was unaffected by it, he was suppose to fall to his knees under such pressure but he just stood there looking at her
She gritted her teeth "Why won't it work" she thought to herself
She could feel a sort of suppression on her Liaison core and she also felt the same on her soul and spirit when ever she looked at nigo
"Nigo I'm sorry but I might have to hurt you"
Boom!!
The moment she said those words nigo dashed at her with tremendous force, he released a powerful storm of flames towards her
Whoosh!!
She flashed out of the way appearing fifty metres behind nigo
Boom!
The flames exploded.
""So that's how it...." she wanted to say but
Whoosh!
Nigo had appeared behind her with flames around his arm forming a fist, imitating her movement earlier
"!!" She raised alarm as she dashed backwards
Boom!!
Another torrent of dust was raised as nigo punched the air
Nigo stretched his second arm to face her as he released a more power storm of flames from his arms
Whoosh! Boom!
Granny chi dodged again
Nigo closed his arm over his chest like he was hugging his chest
"!!" Granny chi looked at him with a sense of danger because nigo's stance meant he was going to release a wave of flames, an AOE attack, one that could damage the surroundings and with such powerful energy....
She didn't want to imagine what it would do to the people who are yet to leave the area
Swish!
Nigo released his arms waving them in front of him like a double chop in opposite directions
Swoosh!
The wave of flames flew through the air as it was heading for granny chi.
She didn't dodge, she couldn't because if she did the masses behind her would meet harm
She raised her arms into the air, she could easily cancel out the attack if she used an attack of her own but she didn't because she couldn't gauge the range the explosion would cause
Bang!
Space slightly ruptured as the flames collided with her arms that was covered in utility energy, she tried to keep it in place an also dispel it
Whoosh!
Nigo appeared above her punching from the sky
He had used the attack to hold her in place, so he could attack her while she tried to counter it
Boom!
Nigo's fist made contact with the ground as granny chi flashed out of place
The stones and dust had not even rose when
Boom!!
The attack granny chi was holding onto crashed against nigo and exploded
She had disappeared and left the attack behind, so when nigo tried to hit her, he had moved to her place which was the receiving end of the attack
Whoosh!
Granny chi appeared one kilometre away from him
The explosion caused the place to tremble and more buildings were collapsing due to the tremor
Dust and smoke filled the air when suddenly,
Fwhoosh!
The dust cleared and nigo was facing the ground with his hands holding his body upside down, he looked like a gymnast
"!!"
Even more shock for granny chi as nigo was not knocked out by his own attack, there was no harm to his body
Whoosh!
Nigo waved his legs in a circular motion while still in that position, he released flames as his leg waved
The flames flew towards Granny chi but she easily dodged it
Whoosh!
Nigo appeared below her and instead of attacking like before he released flames from his hand at her while still in mid-air
Boom!!
She moved again with ease
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nigo continued attacking with his fist but granny chi danced within it
It wasn't that nigo was slow, it was that she was too fast!
If anyone were to look at them, they would only see flashing silhouettes appearing here and there
Boom! Crack!
