Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

BOOM! BANG!

The demon\'s head fell down as a man wielding an ax and a dagger in his hands landed beside it.

He panted as he stood up.

A hand reached out to him with a voice, "Are you okay, Brax?"

"Yeah," Brax stood up. "What about you, Darius? You have been fighting them longer than me, and yes, you don\'t look tired at all."

Brax looked at the last demon standing in the door, raised his blood-coated sword, then dashed at the demon and slashed it.

"I am an S-rank adventurer."

Darius picked up the crystal and put it in his bag.

"How can you walk and run around with that huge-ass bag in your back?" Brax commented.

The bag was about the size of two boars showed that Brax and Darius had killed over hundreds of demons.

Creak~

The door opened.

Brax looked at the door and sighed, "Are you sure we are not walking into some trap?"

"We don\'t know our way out, so we don\'t have any other choice than follow the path."

"But we have been walking and fighting for ages. I wouldn\'t be surprised if a year had passed."

Not even a day had passed.

"The demons just keep spawning in all the chambers."

"It\'s like every chamber has demons, and once we defeat them, a door opens."

Brax caught his breaths.

"And when we go in, more demons spawn," Darius added.

"How long will it continue?"

"Who knows?" Darius took out a bottle from his bag and said, "This is the last bottle."

Brax clapped and said, "Toss it to me. I want to smear some on my ax."

"Be careful not to waste too much," Darius said and tossed the bottle.

Brax opened the cap and coated his ax with blood, while saying, "If we run out of this blood, we are done for."

"Yeah."

"I am thirsty and hungry… we should have left one bottle for water."

"If we had, then we would already be out of the blood."

Brax stared at the bottle for a while and questioned with a curious took on his face, "Darius,"

"Hmm?"

"Emilia\'s blood... Or rather, angel\'s blood works as an acid for demons, right?"

"Yeah?"

"How does it work on humans?"

"What do you mean?" Darius questioned with a puzzled look on his face.

"I am thirsty, and I am ready to drink anything…" Brax looked at the bottle. "Even an angel\'s blood."

"Are you out of your mind?! I already told you that this is the last bottle!" Darius yelled.

"I know… I know that. But… I don\'t think I can fight anymore. I am tired, and even with the blood… I can\'t… fight… any… more" Brax kept stuttering as he stared at the bottle.

"But we don\'t know what might happen. What if angel\'s blood has any other lethal effect on humans?"

"Who knows? But at this point, I don\'t give a fuck about anything. And besides…" Brax glanced at Darius as he uncapped the bottle. "Angels were made to protect the humans, so I don\'t think it can harm us."

Brax moved the bottle to his mouth and drank three sips, then stopped.

"Brax? Are you okay?"

Brax stood quietly for a while, then looked at Darius and said with a surprised look on his face.,"All my thirst, hunger, and fatigue, everything is gone."

"Really?" Darius rushed to Brax and snatched the bottle from his hand, then drank some sips.

"You are right!"

"This is awesome!"

Darius looked inside the bottle and commented, "Only half left. We have to be careful now."

He put the bottle in the bag and started walking.

"Still, Darius," Brax followed him while hopping. "Aren\'t you curious about how the angel\'s blood works?"

"Well, not really. I don\'t like wasting my time on stupid stuff."

Darius and Brax walked through the door and entered another chamber. As soon as they reached the center of the chamber, the door closed.

Brax glanced around as he commented, "This never ends, huh?"

"Take out your weapons… then can spawn from anywhere."

Brax took out his ax while swinging it.

Darius nudged him and yelled, "Stop spinning it. The blood will spritz the blood from it!"

Brax and Darius kept walking in a defensive mode with their weapons out.

"Weird. They should have spawned by now, don\'t you think so, Brax?"

"Yeah, and this chamber… isn\'t it smaller than all the other chambers?"

The chamber was about half the size of the main chamber that had hundreds of doors.

"And isn\'t it darker than other chambers too?" Darius added.

"We have been in the dark ever since we entered the dungeon, so it\'s not really bothering me, to be honest."

"That\'s not what I am talking about!" Darius shouted.

"Stop yelling in my ears."

"This chamber is different from all the other chambers… so what if the demons here are different too?" Darius wondered.

"Why do you always think of the worst happenings?"

"Let me tell you how I became an S rank adventurer."

"By betraying and backstabbing everyone?" Brax commented.

"No, well... You are not wrong, but what made me come this far was the greed of rewards. Imagine the worst and hope for the best."

"Heh," they both chuckled.

They walked while glancing around and making sure they didn\'t get attacked. Suddenly, they stopped as if they had bumped into something.

"What\'s this?" Darius moved his hand in the air. "There is something here."

Brax also moved his hands. "An invisible wall?"

There was an invisible wall separating the two sides of the chamber.

"Get back; I will break it." Brax walked some steps backward and then dashed at the wall as he swung his ax— but nothing happened.

"Not even a scratch."

"Let me see, "Darius took out the bottle and sprinkled some blood at the wall—- and the wall shined brightly. Then, it stopped.

Darius glanced at Brax as he moved his hands to the wall, but his hand passed.

"It\'s gone. The wall is gone!" Darius rejoiced, but Brax\'s gaze was fixated on something else.

Darius followed Brax\'s gaze and saw something shining on the other side.

"What\'s that?"

They both walked to that spot and saw something covered under ashes. It was a glass and something was shining under it.

Brax slowly moved his hand, wiped the ash, and then looked at Darius with a surprised look on his face. Both Brax and Darious started wiping the ashes.

Both of their eyes widened as Brax muttered, "An… angel?"
