Chapter 27. Poltergeist
Seven Sins System Chapter 27. Poltergeist
"Azrael..." whispered Julia, confused by my change. But I only replied to her with an evil smirk.
'Teleportation!'
In a blink, a dark aura enveloped our bodies and transported us to the top of a tall tree in the forest outside the cave.
She looked shocked by my ability yet she decided to shut her mouth after she saw my serious expression. My eyes were fixed 500 meters in front of us, watching how an invisible force knocked down the surrounding trees one by one and made the monsters run in fear. Besides that, I also noticed a trail behind them, which showed that the invisible power had been raging in the forest for quite a while. It was clear those forces were the main reason why the monsters ran amok and attacked the students.
An announcement appeared in front of me.
[You have received an emergency quest!]
[Kill all demons.]
[Target: demons.]
[Reward: Quest points and EXP.]
"What's that?" she asked.
"Demons. Their bodies are trapped at the border. Therefore they can only manifest it with their power. Can you see them?" Although they were not visible, faintly, my sight could catch their true forms.
Mortals were often called this poltergeist. They thought they were ghosts but they weren't. It was because of a being that was trapped between three realms.
"I-I can't see a thing," said Julia in a stammering voice. Well, she was still a lesser succubus so her sight was not as sharp as mine.
"I will show you what happened," I said.
'Shadow Space!' I snapped my fingers and an invisible force came out of it. The wind brushed our hair. The Demonic Power from the snap stopped everything around us and spread rapidly. That power created a huge dome and covered the sky in darkness. As the dome was perfectly created, that invisible power manifested into two unintelligent black demons. Or we, demons, preferred to call them monsters since they simply lived like beasts.
Their height was about 10 meters. A pair of deer antlers on their heads and their feet resembled that of a goat. They were noseless and had red eyes like any other demon. Sharp teeth adorned their mouths. A trail of dark aura was behind them.
[Name: Nightwalker]
[Level 42]
[HP:1307/1367]
[DP: 312/512]
Yeah... The HP, DP, and strength differences between the mortal realm and shadow realm's monsters were too significant.
"What are they?" asked Julia. Her eyes were on the monsters.
"They are monsters from my realm. They shouldn't be in this place. This is a rare case." No, this was my first time seeing it. Usually, it was an intelligent demon who was trying to escape from the shadow realm. Like a criminal or something. Also, they were only stuck for a few seconds or a minute. That was why a poltergeist usually only lasted a few seconds.
"Would you mind helping me?" I asked.
"Of course."
"Did you see the little demons under them?" I pointed at the little demons shaped like skeletons of centipedes. They were about a big dog size and followed the Nightwalkers like obedient pets.
[Name: Skeleton Centipede]
[Level 12]
[HP: 407/407]
[DP: 13/34]
"Yes," she answered.
"I will leave them to you. Just be careful, they are not ordinary monsters. They may look weak, but they are four times stronger than ordinary monsters," I warned her.
"Okay."
'Teleportation!' Once again, my dark aura engulfed us. In a split second, we were already at a tree near them.
Julia jumped down from our tree branch and got ready with her whip. While I opened my wings and summoned my tentacles after I used my Scan skill to collect my second evidence.
'Wrath!'
This time, my tentacles hardened. Terrifying huge thorns filled it. The giant sharp dagger on its tip.
'Devil's Blessing.'
[Devil's Blessing has been activated.]
[ATK: 400+600]
[M.ATK: 400+600]
[SPD: 83+ 125]
[Time remaining: 14:56]
'Teleportation.' In an instant, I was already in front of them, hovering in mid-air.
I raised my chin a bit and folded my arms in front of my chest.
"Uans. Ap waba kin ni? (I will ask you once. Who brought you here?)" My voice sounded like a snake's hissing sound. Although they were unintelligent monsters, they could speak and understand the shadow realm's simple language.
They tilted their heads.
"Tean? (Are you a friend?)"
"Bawu! (Answer me!)" I glared.
"Kan tean! (You aren't a friend!)" One of them opened his mouth and almost let out a black flame from it. But swiftly, my tentacles stormed at him. In one fell swoop, my tentacles cut its body into pieces. Yeah, despite their scary form, they were just weak enemies to me.
The other Nightwalker looked shocked as his friend's body fell to the ground. Blood soaked the surrounding trees and bushes.
"Bawu! Ap waba kin ni? (Answer me! Who brought you here?)" I repeated. My tentacles were ready to gouge out his eyes.
"Sura... (A voice... )," he answered.
"Sura? (A voice?)" I frowned in confusion, asking for more explanation from him.
But he didn't answer me. Instead, he tried to kill me with his claws.
'Teleportation!'
I disappeared right in front of him and reappeared behind him.
"Foolish!" I hissed in displeasure. In a move, I cut his body into pieces.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Congratulations! You have completed your quest!]
[Level Up!] [Level Up!] [Level Up!] [Level Up!] [Level Up!]
[You are now Level 39. HP +100, DP + 100, ATK and MATK + 25, DEF and SPD +10]
[You get 2 quest points]
[Your Wrath point has gone up by 20]
[Wrath 70/1000]
[HP: 1360/1360] [DP: 1010/1010]
[ATK: 445] [M.ATK: 445]
[SPD:101] [DEF: 101]
That announcement also indicated that Julia had finished killing the centipedes.
I descended on Julia's side not far from me. She was panting, indicating it was not an easy fight for her.
"How's your first experience?" I asked.
"Not bad. But I have to admit, they are stronger than they look," she said between her panting breath.
"You have done well, Julia. Thank you for helping me. Now..." I turned to the demons' body parts and replaced my Wrath tentacles with Gluttony.
"Dessert time," I said with a smirk.
