159 Chapter 159: Unleashed demon (1/2)

'He was still fine a few minutes back!'

Julian withdrew his eyes from Usui when he felt two people hold him. He looked beside him and saw General Kim gazing at the sky with a complicated expression.

General Alarick urged him, ”Your Majesty, let's quickly get inside cover”

Julian nodded weakly but remained rooted to the ground. His eyes stayed on Usui as he asked his generals, ”What happened to him?”

General Kim shifted his eyes towards his king deciding whether he should say or not.

But when he saw Julian lock eyes with him. Words escaped from his lips, ”It seems like something is taking possession of his body”

And looking up, he drew his eyebrows together, ”And, it looks like Prince Usui isn't aware of the happening around him.”

Julian pursed his lips when he felt the murderous aura from Usui earlier. He couldn't quite grasp what changed or what made things reach this extent.

General Alarick held onto their king and said, ”Let's quickly get under shelter, Your Majesty” and gave a knowing look to his partner who also nodded his head.

Both of them held onto Julian and made their way towards the castle when something crashed a few meters ahead. Julian squeezed his eyes shut and coughed at the dust flying up in the air. His eyes bulged when he saw the huge crater right in front of his eyes.

Sirius laid at the center of the crater, gaping at the sky. There was a deep gash on his forehead and many injuries on him. His hands shook when he tried to stand up making him grit his teeth.

Suddenly he stopped and covered himself with his vines, into a ball when a huge force crashed on him. Usui smirked as he looked at the ball under his sword.

”Do you think your vines would be enough to protect you?”

Sirius let out a breath, glad that he followed his instinct. But not before long, his eyes widened when he felt successive hits on his shield. Each one was stronger than before.

He desperately hoped that his shield would hold on but his hopes crashed when he heard a small crack. Before the next hit could fall, Sirius directed his vines to attack Usui who leaped back, smirking.

Sirius moved back with all of his vines stretched out. He looked at his vines and saw a number of them having a slight crack on its body making him gulp.

Noticing something from the corner of his eye, Sirius glanced at the three people standing there, gawking at him in shock. Sirius narrowed his eyes when he recognized the old man before staring at him with a complicated expression.

Usui's smirk grew as he rotated his sword on his hand.

”Haha.... are you going to play hide and seek?”

He was met with silence making his grin wider. He looked around at the dark mist surrounding him and swiped his sword, clearing it.

Instantly the dark mist vanished and presented Sirius who was looking at him in shock.

”You dare to use my power against me?”

Sirius gulped as he had forgotten the crucial part. The mist was one of the demon lord's speciality. He was the one who gifted him with this power because of his contributions.

He looked at the person in front of him as his nightmares were confirmed.

It was the demon lord!

Instantly he felt the aura approach him and before he knew it, pain coursed through his body jolting him out of his stupor. He glanced down disbelievingly and saw a hand buried inside his chest.

He slowly raised his eyes to meet with curious eyes who carried a devilish smirk on his face.

Usui grinned when he saw the pale face as he withdrew his bloodied hand. He looked at the black blood on his hand and splashed the blood onto the ground.

Sirius fell back on the ground gasping for breath. His hands crawled towards his chest where a hold was now found. Blood seeped through his lips as he murmured, ”Who are you?”

A look of enlightenment fell on Usui as he said, ”You don't have to know that.” and kicked him on his face.

Sirius fell on his front, making him clench his hands. He felt a huge force pressing on his spine making him bury his head under the earth.

Immediately he raised his face in horror as he screeched, ”No, please”

Usui tilted his head, ”Don't you like using your vines a little too much?”
