024. The Singing Wind Demon.

All structures in the universe are made up of various molecules and atoms, and the many of which are bound to each other. 

What binds one atom to another? 

It's the electrons.

Orbiting around the nucleus of an atom and serving the same function as a belt, electrons have the role of binding one atom to another based on chemical reactions and environmental influences. 

But of course, electron bonds can't be created or released just because....

Unless you have control over the electrons themselves.

"I can help you, if you give up now. It's a pity that someone as strong as you died this quickly," said Johan who looked at Aril with a pitying gaze.

Aril did not respond, he just crouched down while holding his disintegrated right hand.

Not only that, now, his chest felt hot. 

Unlike a typical laser that created from light waves or ( photons ), a laser created from electron has a different effect.

The electron laser not only cuts the object it touches, but melts it and leaves behind radiation and heat that lasts for a while. 

The pain from the melted lung made Aril whimper and made Johan sympathize a little. 

"I'll do a quick operation, take it easy, you won't die," said Johan who took out a scalpel from his pants pocket. 

Johan stood in front of Aril. "Did you surrender and swear allegiance to the queen? If so, I will save you."

Aril did not answer, he did not make any sound, he just nodded his head slowly. 

Johan lowered his body slightly and brought his body closer to Aril who seemed to be whimpering in pain.

Aril suddenly gripped Johan face and looked at him right in the eyes.

A gaze that was so serious and so gripping. It was not the gaze of a desperate person, it was the gaze of a person who really wanted to kill. 

The moment Johan realized the trap, instinctively, his right hand that holding the scalpel was aimed straight at Aril's stomach. 

Bright red flames enveloped Aril's hand. 

Johan's right hand created a magnetic field by electrical current and created high-voltage electricity at the same time.

Aril's flames turned blue and the scalpel was launched with the momentum generated by the Lorentz force. 

Johan's brain almost melted, but the blue flames were instantly extinguished when the mini railgun projectile pierced through Aril's abdomen. 

Aril coughed up blood and Johan immediately grabbed Aril's face. 

The high-voltage electricity shocked Aril and paralyzed all his nerves.

Johan kicked the young man away and instantly created three green electron balls and shot straight at Aril. 

Left chest, abdomen, right shoulder. 

Aril's body was perforated by the electron laser.

Aril's whole body felt burned and he vomited blood. 

Johan broke out in a cold sweat. His breathing was ragged, he had no idea that death was almost upon him. 

Johan swallowed his own saliva and felt his hands trembling from adrenaline and fear. 

The blond man did not want to go near Aril, even if the young man was dying, Johan's whole body seemed to be screaming and saying that Aril was a deadly threat. 

"You are a terrifying opponent. Go die already," said Johan who walked away from Aril. 

Aril coughed up blood. "Where are you going?"

"Take it easy, I'm not going to hurt your friend. I'll just recruit her as a new member," Johan replied without turning around to look at Aril.

Hearing that sentence, Aril immediately imagined the conversation between Reizel and Rey the gatekeeper.

No... 

Aril couldn't let that happen, he had to protect Putri. 

Aril tried to stand up with his trembling body but he suddenly coughed up blood and vomited blood. 

Aril's vision began to blacken and cold sweat ran down his face. 

Is this the end? 

No... 

Aril refused to die. Not now. He had to live. Must live!

Aril's mind suddenly projected 72 demon sigils. 1 of them had been lit, the sigil of Marchosias. 

But Marchosias alone was not enough to save him. He needed something to stay alive, something that could make him compete with Johan's versatile abilities. 

And Aril immediately found the answer... 

"Phenex... Give me your power..." Aril said. 

-----------------------------------------------

In Rio, Brazil. 

"Aaahhhnnn~"

A sensual female moan echoed out. 

The moan came from a curvy woman with purple hair and black horns.

Her body seemed to tremble as if she had been shocked by electricity. Yet her face looked so happy, as if she was enjoying it sensually. 

"Who dares to use my power by force?" asked the demoness named Phenex. 

"He must be the one who broke the goetia seal," said a smiling Phenex. 

Phenex licked her lips. "I hope it's a man."

The purple-haired woman sat on a chair that was a well-built man who bent down so that Phenex could sit on him. 

Beside the woman. 2 handsome and muscular men were standing. Both were shirtless and around their necks were an iron collard and an iron chain that were held by Phenex.

Phenex licked her finger sensually. "I hope he is a strong man."

------------------------------------------------

The holes and wounds on Aril's body closed immediately. The regeneration speed of his body was very abnormal.

Even the hand that had been cut off had grown back. 

The young man stood up with his breath catching. 

Johan's eyes widened. "You... What are you?"

Aril gave no response except a wide grin. 

Johan's body got goosebumps instantly. 

'He's dangerous, I have to kill him!' Johan thought as he pointed both hands forward. 

3 green electron balls were created.

"La~ laalaa~ la~"

The singing voice came from Aril, but why was he singing? 

Of course to paralyze Johan. 

Johan's whole body was immobilized but, his senses were still functioning and so was his brain which was still barely working. 

The only thing that could not move was his body. 

It was a strange paralysis. All the body's nerves except the head seemed to stop, but Johan's body did not fall. 

His body seemed to be forced to stand still. 

Aril brought his arms forward and created a large pillar of fire where Johan stood.

After the pillar of fire was created, Aril created a tornado of wind where Johan was standing. 

The tornado of fire burned Johan's body until it was almost charred.

By the time the fire tornado was extinguished, Johan's body had gone limp and Aril was in front of the blond man with both hands covered in red-hot flames. 

But Johan's consciousness had not disappeared yet and he immediately created a pillar of high-voltage electricity in front of him and succeeded in electrocuting Aril and paralyzing the young man. 

Johan aimed his electrified right hand at Aril's face.

It was no ordinary attack, Johan intended to turn Aril's head into dust by disintegrate it.
