Chapter 14 – A Moment of Planning -Part 8

 

As the dust settled around the blow dealt to the Lilac Demon, I smirked as the damage was revealed. His upper torso was destroyed, with marks of his body burned off.

 

I stood up fully, basking in the sunlight as the blood began to burn away around me. Tik summoned me, stating that we needed to hurry up and move forward before the others caught up.

 

"Hey, didn't you used to have a darker color? You're almost translucent and aren't doing your 'Tik Tik Tik' thing again," I questioned.

 

My core was cracked, releasing some of my imposed restraints by the king. My thoughts were becoming clearer. "We need to hurry," I insisted. Tik's eye slits gleamed with worry as he responded, "I insist, we need to hurry."

 

With more questions than I cared to ask right now, I nodded. We began to run along the coastline, where hundreds of Demons summoned by Tik were battling and fighting with the Spirit Reathers.
