Chapter 19- Settling the Score
(Hecadoth)
I point my spear at Azazel, glaring at him. I've been looking forward to making him pay for everything he has done, not only to me, but to the families of all his victims. I won't hesitate to make him pay because he deserves to pay the price for what he has done.
Azazel smirks at me. "You're merely motivated by the fact that I tried to harm a woman," he taunts. "Pathetic. You're trying to make up for the fact that you stabbed a maidservant." I grit my teeth and continue glaring at him. I shouldn't pay attention to his taunts. They're meant to anger me and make me lose control of my emotions, which he will use to his advantage.
"You should pay attention to your current opponent," I retort.
"Oh? What's with this sudden change in attitude?" Azazel asks, raising an eyebrow.
I glare at him. Right then, I point my spear and lunge at him. "Shut up and fight me, bastard!" I growl, kicking him in the chin. He's sent flying back, but he manages to regain his footing before he crashes into a stack of various shipping containers.
He gets up, wiping the corner of his mouth as he glares at me. "Don't forget about how badly I wiped the floor with you, Pillar General," he snarls, raising his sword.
I will my powers to surround me as he runs towards me. "Well then… the tables have turned!" I shout, punching him in the gut, sending him crashing through the wall of the warehouse and flying straight outside into the shipyard in the middle of the fight outside. Right now, a heavy rainstorm is happening outside, but it doesn't seem to distract anyone from the fight.
I walk through the hole in the wall, glaring at him as the rain hits me, slowly soaking me. "Get up, Azazel," I command. "I'm not done yet." My powers surround me as I glare at him. "I'll make sure you pay dearly for trying to hurt Laymia."
As I lunge towards him with my spear, I suddenly see him grab Hildegarde with a tendril of black energy and hold her in front of him. Everyone stops and watches in shock as he holds out Beelze-sama's maidservant in front of him as a shield. My eyes widen in shock and I force myself to stop, my spear only inches away from her abdomen. The nerve of him… that bastard…
"Hilda!" Beelze-sama's contract holder exclaims.
"Hilda-neesama!" Lamia cries out.
"That's not fair!" Yolda shouts.
Hildegarde looks at me in shock, while Azazel sneers at me. "What's the matter, Pillar General?" he taunts. "You're too afraid to stab the Demon Maidservant? Don't you forget, this is the exact same maidservant you nearly killed."
My eyes narrow in anger. "I only did that because I was blinded by my loyalty to Lord En-sama," I snarl. "You dare pull another person in front of yourself as a shield?! You disgust me!" I shout. I quickly use a tendril of energy to punch him in the face, causing him to release her.
It seems like everyone's watching as the two of us fight viciously to the end. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Yumi watching me with concern and hope, and in that instant, it seems like all my strength comes back to me. Now, I start to fight back more viciously, throwing punches at him, each one harder than the last.
Azazel smirks as he blocks my attacks. "Suddenly, you're becoming stronger," he says. "Don't tell me it's that girl who is motivating you. I thought it would be Laymia that's-" At this point, I've had enough of this torment from him. I send a punch to his face, shattering the bones in his nose. He stares at me in shock as blood gushes from his nose.
"How dare you…" I seethe. "You dare to call Yumi filth?! You're the filth here!" I roar, sending an uppercut punch on his jaw. "You make me sick, to think that you're a demon like me! You take an innocent person and use them as a shield to defend yourself from my attack, you abduct, torture, and murder several innocent people, you even threatened to end Yumi's life in a slow and painful manner… and you dare to call her filth?!"
Right then, I punch him in the gut, sending him flying back into a crane. He stands up slowly as I ready my spear for the next attack. I walk towards him, glaring in rage. "Yumi isn't filth. No, she is far from that," I say, my voice low. "You call yourself a demon?! You're far from a real demon! You dare try and use someone else as a shield?! Pathetic! I would never stoop to such an act, unlike you! You're the real filth!"
"Whoa…" I hear Furuichi trail off.
"I've never seen Heca-chan becoming this angry before," Agiel says in shock.
To my surprise, Azazel simply smirks as he stands up. "Man, Laymia really does mean something to you, hm?" he taunts. "And she's quite a beauty as well."
"Don't talk about her like that, you son of a bitch!" I snarl, lunging at him. He suddenly kicks me to the ground, sneering at me in a taunting manner as he walks up to me.
"You wanna know something?" he jeers. "I was planning to do so much more to Laymia before killing her. She was so vulnerable, especially since I had her daughter hostage!"
I grit my teeth as I stand up, glaring at him. "What… were you planning to do to Laymia?" I growl.
Azazel laughs sadistically. "I had told her, 'cooperate, or your daughter dies!' But the useless doctor rescued the brat, but even then, it wasn't enough to stop me."
Much to my disgust, he licks his lips and I suddenly see him giving Laymia a lecherous look. Laymia glares, shuddering in revulsion. I glare at him, feeling the anger rising in me again. "Oi, don't you dare look at her like that!"
Azazel smirks in a taunting manner. "I had told her to cooperate. Needless to say, she was very… uncooperative, and she even got rather violent. So… I decided to rape her."
My eyes widen in shock and horror and Lamia looks horrified. "Mom..." Lamia whispers in shock.
Even Furuichi and the Pillar Division are appalled. This bastard… raped Laymia?! "You… You raped her?!" I shout in disbelief and anger.
"Don't be silly," he waves me off casually. "I merely started groping her. I barely even got started when she got violent and I decided to kill her." He leers at Laymia, who looks utterly humiliated and horrified. "Don't you remember, bitch?! Remember how I touched you and kissed you, how you were screaming at me to stop, how you bit my hand?! You were enjoying it! You were writhing against me, even though you were screaming at me to stop! And I was barely even-" I cut off his gloating with a punch to his face.
"You fucker!" I snarl in rage. "Don't you dare gloat about this or I'll show you the pits of hell!" Right then, I start giving him a beating of a lifetime. Threatening to kill Laymia, my mentor and a motherly figure to me, is one thing, but nearly raping her and gloating about it two years later, in front of her own daughter even? That's crossing the line. No wonder she's never been the same!
"It's bastards like you that really sicken me," I growl in anger through heavy punches. "The ones who get off of raping and assaulting others and gloating about it? That's the type I absolutely fucking hate." Right then, in true fury, I slam my foot down on his crotch, causing him to let out a howl of pain. "Now you won't be able to get into a woman's pants anymore! How does it feel, huh?!" I snarl.
Azazel glares at me. "Bastard!" Suddenly, I see his leg shoot upwards, kicking me in the chin, sending me flying back. As I hit the ground, I feel the taste of blood in my mouth.
Wiping my mouth, I stand up and ready my spear as Azazel gets up. He holds his sword out at me, sneering at me. "This is it, Pillar General!" he declares. "It's time to end this! Now die!"
Azazel lunges at me, but I'm ready for it. Glaring coldly at him, I hold out my spear and thrust it through his stomach. I watch emotionlessly as Azazel's eyes widen in shock and blood spills from his mouth. "Sorry, but that won't happen," I tell him coldly. "You're the one that'll die."
"You… son of a…" he chokes out as he falls from my spear. The words die on his lips as he falls down to the ground, blood spilling from the wound. I take that moment to stand over him, glaring at him as the life drains from him.
"This is for Laymia," I tell him. "This is also for the torture you had planned out for Yumi, and for the many victims who died unfairly at your hands." I turn and walk away from his now lifeless body, ignoring the cold rain soaking me.
Everyone is staring in shock at the scene. "He-Hecadoth…" Yumi whispers. Her brown hair is now wet from the rain, with a few strands clinging to her face, and her dress is also soaked. In fact, everyone is now soaked from the rain.
Naga looks shocked. "I've… I've never seen Hecadoth become this violent or protective or anyone before. Something's clearly changed. Could it be that… Tanaka-san has somehow changed him?"
Before anyone can even react, we suddenly hear a deep, loud, booming voice. "That's enough. It's time to put an end to this nonsense."
Right then, as a bolt of lightning strikes, a large figure materializes on a stack of freight containers. We all watch in shock as the figure finishes materializing. On the top of the freight containers is a tall, muscled male demon. The demon has pale skin and shoulder-length black hair. His onyx eyes are cruel and sadistic, and he has a twisted grin on his face. He wears a black vest and brown pants, and in his hand is a vicious sword.
Our eyes widen in shock and horror. "Who… Who is that?!" Izuma asks in shock.
Hildegarde gasps in realization. "No… don't tell me…"
Jabberwock narrows his eyes in anger. "That's the leader of the Kagirinai Kumori…" he seethes.
The demon smirks. "That's right," he gloats. "My name is Caligula, son of Diabolos."
