Chapter 9: Chase (2)

"There's still a chance, give me your hand." Olivia pulls out an empty water bottle, gesturing for Ren to come closer.

Ren complied, sticking out his bloody hand towards Olivia. *Drip, drip, drip* the fresh blood from Beelzebub falls off of Ren's fingers and into the bottle. Olivia then closed the bottle after collecting all she could.

"This should be enough to track it one more time, you ready?" Olivia said, pulling out her repair stone.

'Wait!' King dashed out from an alleyway, the video on his back no longer playing. Ren stretched out his arm towards King and caught him.

"You're not going back to the tattoo?" King shook his head, he decided to stay inside the plush, sitting on his shoulder. Ren brushed it off, facing Olivia and signalling her to start.

Olivia nodded, opened her bottle and poured the contents onto the repair stone. A few moments later, the blood floated up as a small ball. Following the blood ball, Ren and Olivia struggled to keep up at first.

Going down streets after streets, the blood ball showed no sign of slowing down. Olivia and Ren began running out of breath, before the blood ball slowed down significantly. Ren and Olivia quickly controlled their breathing, afraid to alert Beelzebub.

Sneaking a few meters behind the ball now, Ren and Olivia kept close watch of their surroundings. Watching as the ball slowly rounds a corner, Ren silently asked King for an enhancement.

*FWOOSH* Ren blasts off around the corner, white aura covering him head to toe. As Ren took a good look around the place, he was shocked to find the amount of dead bodies littered in this alleyway.

Beelzebub turned around, throwing a human body he was eating away. Ren Dashed in, trying to catch Beelzebub off guard. *BOOM* Ren punches the concrete floor, creating a small crater where Beelzebub used to be. He immediately turns around as Beelzebub counter attacks, barely blocking it in time.

The two stood still, staring and anticipating the opponents next move. Olivia then took this chance to throw the blue crystal to Ren, "You said that was a weapon right? Use it!"

Ren caught the Crystal before crushing it in his hand, a blue glow surrounds him as he looked back at Beelzebub sneak attacking him.

*Fwoosh* Beelzebub's charge misses Ren, as Beelzebub tries to get more distance, Ren sent an upper cut towards his stomach. *Crunch* Sounds of exoskeleton breaking ringed around the area, Beelzebub screams in pain and tries to escape once more using the force of the upper cut.

Watching Beelzebub slowly fly away using his wings, Ren concentrated the reversal technique to his legs. Red aura covers his legs as he jumped, *BOOM* A small crater appeared where Ren was.

Trying to fly away as fast as they can, Beelzebub tries to ignore his shattered chest. Beelzebub then heard a small explosion from ground level, before he saw a rapidly approaching Ren.

Freaked out, Beelzebub pushes his wings to their limit. *Fwoosh fwoosh* *Crack*

"Huh?" Beelzebub's mind goes blank from pain, His wings couldn't withstand the desperation of Beelzebub and shattered. As Beelzebub falls back down towards Ren, He closed his eyes.

*CRUNCH*

Olivia watched as Ren reached Beelzebub in the air, Ren punched out as they made contact, splitting Beelzebub in two. celebration lasted for only a moment, as Olivia rushed towards Ren, who was beginning to fall. She and King were both worried, as they are unsure if a human could survive a fall like that.
