Sapphire Academy: the lost demon slayer

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Tumakbo si Aidan papalabas habang hawak pa rin siya. There, they saw a man with a hideous appearance.

Bloodstain all over his body, fangs are shown and veins are about to burst in his head. Kulay puti ng buhok nito. Kung wala lang ang mga ugat at pangil nito sa mukha, aakalain mong tao lamang ito. But no, it's a demon.

Ang naramdaman kanina ni Aria na kakaiba ay ang presensiya ng demon slayer paligid. Her instinct knew that a demon is around the corner, prying unto them.

"Oh, kids."

Mischievous grin is plastered on his face. Nang-uuyam ang pananalita nito. Unti-unti at naglakad ito palapit. His look so calm at parang wala lang ang mga matatalim na armas na nakapalibot sa kaniya.

"Is this what this kingdom only has?" he chuckled. "I forgot, this kingdom only knows how to play because they can't even kill a single demon."

He laughed loudly at nagmamasid lamang sina Aidan at Aria. Alam nilang wala pa itong ginagawa pero dapat maging alerto sila.

They knew this guy wouldn't bat an eyelash to kill all of them here.

Kakaiba ang presensya nito. It screams magic. Significant magic. At kung pababayaan nila ang mga kilos nito, they would be killed in no time.

"Hmm. I don't sense someone who can play with me," anito pagkatapos inilibot ang tingin. The people are already sent away. Mas mabuti nang wala sila sa malapit. The palace also called for help from the neighboring kingdom in case if their manpower won't be enough to suppress this demon.

Alam nilang mahihirapan sila.

Lalo na't wala ang demon slayer.

That is what most people are thinking. Hindi pa pinapalabas ang totoong katauhan ni Aria kaya hindi pa alam ng marami na siya ang demon slayer.

Aria's feeling mixed emotions right now. Hindi niya alam kung saan nanggagaling ang mga 'yon. She's angry for no reason, tensed, anxious, and eager to fight the demon she's in front with. Gusto niyang makita kung sapat na ba ang kapangyarihan niya para mailigtas ang Sahuriya. She knows she's been training for a long time but she wants to see if it's enough. Hindi niya ito makikita kung wala siyang makakalaban na totoong demon.

And now is the perfect time to see what she's been working on.

"Ang tatahimik niyo naman," sumimangot ito at kaagad rin namang nawala at napalitan ng ngisi. "I'll just make you make a sound."

He raised his hand and snapped. Isang iglap, sumigaw ang mga kawal at nabitawan ang mga espada at spear na hawak. Mas naalerto sina Aidan at Aria.

He only snapped his fingers but he brought massive pain to the soldiers. Ilang segundo ang nakalipas ay sumuka na ang mga ito ng dugo. They are pinned on the ground, vomiting blood like there's no tomorrow. Umaksyon naman ang ibang kawal. They blew an attack at parang wala lang ang libong pana papunta sa kaniyang direksyon. Iniwasan lamang niya ito.

He laughed, "'Yon lang ba ang meron kayo?"

The soldiers charged an attack again pero wala parin. The demon controlled the arrows and sent them back to the soldiers' direction.

Hindi na nakatiis si Aria at sumugod na. She picked a sword nearby and charged an attack to the demon. Nasa likod siya nito kaya alam niyang matatamaan niya ito. But to her surprise, he turned around with a smile on his face a stopped the sword with his hand.

"Hmm. You seem brave enough to charge a close range attack unto me."

Hindi ito pinansin ni Aria at lumayo bahagya. She was thinking about how to fight with this demon.
