Chapter 271: Bad Luck [2]

Thinking thus far, everything started to click. If it was indeed like I thought it was, then it was either the Patriarch or demon who made Tony into a fallen human.

Yato's carefree expression changed as soon as he heard that these demons were coming here for his disciple, however, he still didn't move from his spot he wanted to see how Lucas would handle himself in this situation.

The demons' revelation about seeking me out sent shivers down my spine. It dawned on me that my past encounters with demons might have consequences far beyond what I had anticipated.

"Lucas Darkheart, you've become quite the thorn in our side," the demon leader sneered, its eyes filled with malice.

The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. My actions had consequences, and now demons sought retribution. I tightened my grip on the Sword of Sin, the weight of responsibility sinking in.

"Master, it seems my past actions have caught up with me," I confessed, directing my words to Yato, who remained a silent observer.

Yato's eyes signalled a mixture of seriousness and determination. "Face it, Lucas. This is your trial. Confront the consequences of your choices and emerge stronger."

With Yato's words echoing in my mind, I focused on the immediate threat—the demons before me. My mana-coated form surged with enhanced abilities, and I prepared for the battle that lay ahead.

The demon leader, sensing my readiness, signalled its minions to attack. The air crackled with dark energy as the demons descended upon me.

"Ready!"

Boom!

Shooting upwards, my body flew in the air as I met the demons mid-air.

"Huuup!"

Appearing before one of the demons, I quickly attacked.

-Spurt!

Slashing my sword forward, as if I was cutting through butter, one of the demons in front of me split in half.

"What!"

Opening their eyes wide, all of the demons around me looked at me in shock.

However, it was still the beginning. The shock did not last that much and soon one of the demons attacked me in mid-air.

However, I was faster than the demon. I quickly spun my body in mid-air as I avoided the demon claw slash that bypassed my neck.

Meanwhile one of the demons who was not attacking Lucas yet, turned his attention toward the Yato who was silently watching from a distance.

Demon becomes angry at the arrogant attitude of Yato. They were demons yet Yato wasn't even showing any kind of expression on his face.

In anger, Demon flew towards Yato to kill him, However, that would be his biggest mistake in life.

If this demon had been high-ranked he would have known who Yayo was, However, he wasn't a high-ranking demon.

"You'll pay the price for ignoring me human!"

In a matter of seconds, the demon appeared right before Yato. As his sharp nails neared Yato's face, the demon couldn't help but smile maniacally as he shouted

"Die!"

-Slash!

...However, right before his nails were about to dig into Yato's neck, the demon froze in mid-air. Opening his eyes wide open, the demon looked at Yato in horror. He could no longer feel his body.

-Thud!

-Thud!

Demon's head hit the ground first and later his body.

The speed of Yato was so fast that not even the demon knew when his head was severed.

And this is still only a portion of Yato's true power.

Glancing at the headless body of the demon, Yato muttered "You are weak." Then saying that he focused his attention back to Lucas.

-Slash!

-Spurt!

Another demon fell from my sword. As that happened some of the demons looked at me shocked.

"I-impossible! Weren't you supposed to be[E] ranked?"

"[E] Ranked? Sorry, that was ages ago." I replied with a smirk.
