Demonic Forces Arc

Chapter 14: Revenge

Red Dragon Knight walked for a while but was incredibly calm despite the situation. He was surprised he hadn't seen any Demons but he kept his sword at the ready however. He listened carefully. He heard the sound of wings. He looked to see what it was. It was a glowing figure in the sky. He looked closer and what he saw surprised him. It was Gwilln! Red Dragon Knight called for him. Gwilln heard him and flew down to see him.

"Thank the gods. Finally, someone else," Gwilln said.

"Yeah it's good to see you too. So, why are golden and have wings all of a sudden?" Red Dragon Knight asked.

"I'll tell you when we find everyone else."

"Alright then. Here, let me carry you and we can try to find the others from an aryl view."

"Alright then."

Gwilln wrapped his arms around Red Dragon Knight's shoulders and carried him into the air. The two looked from up high.

"Look what that sudden shift in the ground caused," Red Dragon Knight said.

"Yeah I, know. It created a massive cave and mountain system," said Gwilln.

"Probably caused by those damn War Captains."

Red Dragon Knight listened and Gwilln's wings, but as he listened closer, he heard another set of wings approaching. They were approaching at an alarming rate.

"Gwilln! Watch out!" Red Dragon Knight called.

But before Gwilln could react, he was hit with an immense force. They went crashing to the ground below. Gwilln took most of the impact.

"Hey Gwilln! You ok?!"

"Yeah, I'll live, but what the hell hit with that much force?"

The two got up and Red Dragon Knight heard the wings above them.

"It's coming in for another attack!" cried out Red Dragon Knight and the two dove out of the way as something that looked like a meteor impact hit the ground. Whatever it was stood up and looked at the two. Red Dragon Knight's eyes widen at the sight of what it was. It was the same Demon. The same one from two years ago. The same Demon that slew his team. Red Dragon Knight's surprise turned to anger as he looked at monster.

"YOU!" Red Dragon Knight said.

Gwilln readied himself.

"Let's take him on Red Dragon Knight," Gwilln said.

"No," he replied, "This one is mine," Red Dragon Knight replied.

Gwilln realized that this was personal for Red Dragon Knight.

"You sure you can handle this Demon?"

"I'm sure of it. This fucker is mine."

The truth was, Red Dragon Knight didn't believe he could handle this fight. All he thought about was getting revenge for his dead teammates.

"Go find the others Gwilln."

Gwilln nodded and flew into the air. The War Captain looked at Red Dragon Knight.

"You. I remember you Human," said the Demon.

"And I sure as hell remember you. You're the bastard that killed my team!"

The Demon thought about for a little and then began to laugh.

"Oh! I remember them now. I've killed so many Rangers I could barely remember their appearance!"

Red Dragon Knight grew furious.

"Fuck you!"

Red Dragon Knight screamed and ran at the Demon. The War Captain just simply hit him in the head sending him to the ground.

"Foolish Human. You've learned nothing over the years have you? You'll never be able to beat me at this rate."

"Shut up!"

Red Dragon Knight got and swung his sword at the Demon. The monster swept it to the side and punched Red Dragon Knight in the chest. Red Dragon Knight fell down again and coughed.

"Simple Human, you really think you have a chance against me, Onihitokuchi, the strongest of the War Captains?"

Red Dragon Knight slowly got back up.

"No matter your status, no matter how powerful you are, you can still be defeated," he smirked, "Even gods can be defeated."

Onihitokuchi shrugged off his remark.

"I'll end your life soon enough mortal, and then you will be able to see your friends again."

Onihitokuchi prepared his killing blow. Red Dragon Knight calmed himself and prepared his blade. The War Captain threw a massive punch. Red Dragon Knight wasn't prepared for this hit. He dove out of the way and skidded across the dead ground. Onihitokuchi looked at Red Dragon Knight but didn't awestruck by it at all. Instead, he just readied his fists and flew at Red Dragon Knight. He punched at incredible speeds and they were delivered with tremendous force. As the punches continued, Red Dragon Knight slashed his sword quickly and managed to hit the War Captain's arm. Red Dragon Knight saw red drop from where his hit the Demon. Onihitokuchi didn't seem fazed but the sword slash. He threw another punch but Red Dragon Knight blocked it with his sword. Onihitokuchi kicked at Red Dragon Knight's legs but he jumped over the attempted attack. The Demon ten threw more hits. He hit Red Dragon Knight in the chest, arms, and head. The blow to the head sent him down to the ground. Onihitokuchi lifted up Red Dragon Knight. Red Dragon Knight loosely held his sword. Onihitokuchi began to laugh.

"This is what happens when mortals battle against beings beyond their power."

Onihitokuchi readied another killing blow. This was Red Dragon Knight's opportunity. He swiftly brought his sword up and stabbed the Demon in the chest and making sure to stab deep. Onihitokuchi screamed in pain.

"Damn Human!"

"Who's the weak one now?!"

Red Dragon Knight smirked and laughed. He took the blade out, jumped off the Demon's chest into the air, and brought his sword down onto the Demon's head splitting it in half. Onihitokuchi's corpse fell to the ground. Red Dragon Knight fell to his knees.

"I did it. I've avenged my teammates!"

He smiled but it instantly vanished when he realized he was only half finished with his revenge.

"But not fully."
