Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 271: Eleventh

"There are ten Gods in reality."

The Demon said something strange and Pablo evidently shook for a second upon hearing that.

"Haha. I saw that. You really didn’t know that, right?" The Demon asked. He enjoyed Pablo’s reaction.

"Yes. I didn’t know that. Tell me more." Pablo accepted his lack of knowledge.

"I won’t tell you anything more. Stay in suspense." The Demon burst into laughter.

"Suit yourself. I will take it on my own."

Pablo raised his right hand towards the Demon.

The Demon frowned.

"Don’t forget, Demon. Right now…"

Pablo clenched his fist.

"I am the Eleventh God."

Demon didn’t understand Pablo’s intentions but before he could think, he held his head with both of his hands.

Pablo and the Demon were both in the air and the people could only see them. Their voices couldn’t be captured by the eye camera. They were talking in a way so that only they could hear.

"Why is he holding his head?"

"Is he in pain?"

The Demon holding his head was not something the people expected.

Pablo wasn’t even fighting right now, he was just standing with his hand stretched towards the Being. So what made the Demon to hold his own head? Though, he didn’t look like he was in pain as his face was devoid of any painful expressions.

"Are you seriously trying to take my memories out of my head?" The Demon asked.

Pablo smiled. "Yes. Since you weren’t telling me willingly."

"What kind of power is this? How can you do something like that?"

"Didn’t I tell you?"

Pablo brought his hand closer to himself.

"I am a God right now."

The Demon’s forehead shone bright red and a fog filled with red color spewed out from it.

The fog moved towards Pablo but it was slow and it even stopped midway.

Pablo looked at the Demon and the Being was constantly muttering something.

"Why are you even resisting it?" Pablo asked.

"Because I don’t want a random Human to see my memories?"

"Right. Makes sense. But you know, if I find out that the Gods lied to me I might do something against them. So it’s good for the Demons as well. Don’t you think?"

The Demon stopped muttering.

"You surprisingly have a point."

"So stop chanting."

"Fine. But I will omit one thing though."

"What?" Pablo asked. He wanted the full memories.

"Don’t worry. It isn’t related to the Gods."

The Demon assured Pablo and after a few mutterings, the red fog finally went towards Pablo.

It went inside his face and in just a second, Pablo saw the whole life of the Demon.

And he also saw what the Being had omitted from his memories.

"So you hid your name. Honestly, I couldn’t care less about it."

"That’s all you have to say about my memories?"

"Yes. I will handle other things myself. You won’t be here to see them anyway."

"Empty confidence."

The Demon held Tether with both his hands.

"Try to kill him with every strike." He muttered.

’He talks to his sword. Can I do that too?’

Pablo would like an alive sword for him as well.

’Heh. Why am I even asking? I can do anything right now.’

Pablo stared at his sword and with no idea what to do, he just ordered :

"Come alive."

The Demon scoffed. "It doesn’t work like that, human. You simply can’t order something like th-"

SHING!

Pablo’s sword glowed in black. Abyss black was the fitting name for the color.

The Demon stopped speaking and Pablo smiled.

"You were saying something?"

"How is it possible? You can’t order something like this." The Demon asked, his brows raised to the top of his head.

"You are right. Ordering doesn’t make things like this happen. But what made this happen is that…"

Pablo ran his finger on the edge of his sword.

"It was an order from me."

The sword glowed darker than ever and it started oozing black smoke.

"I will give you a name after I kill him. Wait for it, alright?"

SHRILL!

The sword vibrated.

"That’s a good lad."

"Enough of this. You need to die. I can’t have you here."

The Demon finally moved from his spot.

Everyone watched closely as they believed round 2 started.

The Demon moved with full speed towards Pablo.

THUMP!

A sound rang in the air and everyone went wide eyed.

Pablo had held the Demon with his neck.

The Demon couldn’t even reach Pablo.

But the Being won’t give up.

"Go, Tether. Kill him."

He let go of his sword, ordering it to do the deed.

But Pablo had a sword of his own as well.

"Stop that junk."

He also let go of his sword and it fought with Tether.

The Demon gritted his teeths.

He held Pablo’s hand which was gripping his neck.

"Increase Maximum."

The Demon bellowed and Pablo’s brows twitched.

"Did you just increase gravity on me?" He asked.

"Y-yes."

"So you can steal others’ powers. Nice."

"As if you don’t know. You literally saw my memories."

"I know. You can only steal powers of the people who used them against you before dying by your hands. Even being the all terrifying Demon, you are still bound by conditions."

"Heh. You are also using your power against me and when I kill you, this Ego of yours will be mine as well."

Pablo smiled.

"You are wrong about many things there but I don’t care anymore."

The Demon’s throat was still in Pablo’s grip and his sword fought with Tether far away from him.

"Guess, I’ll do it with my hands."

Pablo strengthened his grip and since his strength was unbound by natural laws, he crushed the Demon’s head.

Blood splattered in the air and the Demon fell down on the ground.

Pablo came down as well and the people rejoiced.

"No need to celebrate. He isn’t dead yet." Jamal said.

"Who is celebrating?" Boulder asked.

"The people watching. I am sure of it. Any normal person will think the Demon is dead now. But we know he is not."

"What? He isn’t dead?"

"Pablo just exploded his head!"

"Then how will Pablo kill him?"

Just like Jamal said, everyone had thought the Demon was dead.

"As if he could kill that thing." Jamal remarked something else.

Boulder sighed. "You are blinded by your jealousy."

"Huh?" Jamal glared at Boulder. "You have one second to correct yourself."

"Cut it out. You know what I am saying."

"Spell it." Jamal wanted to hear it.

Boulder shook his head. "Alright. Listen.."

"It took all of us to destroy the Demon. And that man alone ruptured his head with his one hand. That amounts to something, right? And don’t forget, seeing his powers right now, that man…"

Boulder looked Jamal in the eye.

"Can kill all of us by a mere motion of his fingers."

Boulder stopped talking and Jamal, with no words, turned his head back to Pablo.

The Demon laid on the ground without his head and Pablo stood in front of him.

He stared at the Demon’s chest and raised his right hand.

"Come."

He called for something.

People wondered whom he was calling.

And soon, they all got to know.

SWISH!

Pablo’s sword came flying on his hand.

"Let’s cut him up."

The sword vibrated.

Pablo frowned. "What?"

The sword vibrated again and Pablo sensed something bolting towards him.

"Oh. His sword."

The Demon’s sword, Tether, was making its way towards Pablo.

"It’s a loyal piece. I’ll acknowledge that at least."

Tether came piercing air towards Pablo with its tip pointed at his face.

But when the master of the sword wasn’t able to harm Pablo, the sword was a far cry.

Tether came at full speed and Pablo raised his left hand.

CRASH!

Tether clashed onto Pablo and that was the last thing everyone saw before dust arose from the impact.

"Is he safe?"

"The sword looked strong."

"Please don’t die before the Demon."

People hoped for Pablo’s well being and soon, they got a clear view.

The clear view made them have a smile plastered on their faces as Pablo was alright.

Alright was an understatement though. Pablo was more than alright.

After all, he stopped Tether with just the tip of his index finger.

The all so powerful sword of the Demon succumbed to a finger of a Human.

Everyone saw the scene and by now they all believed one thing.

"He might do it."

All of them went silent and locked their eyes on Pablo.

The people standing behind him, Jamal and the others, also watched Pablo’s back.

Tether kept forcing its way to pierce Pablo but it couldn’t even scratch his finger.

"Alright. That’s enough out of you."

Pablo moved his finger and in a fast motion, held Tether’s blade side.

The sharpness of the sword didn’t cut his fingers and Pablo clenched Tether under his grip.

"Get lost."

Tether disintegrated by the sheer strength of Pablo as it fell on the ground in the form of ashes.

People were shocked but they didn’t react. They wanted to see the main thing.

The death of the Demon.

"Now, the best part."

Pablo held his own sword with both of his hands and without any show off, he slashed the entire headless body of the Demon.

He cut him in small pieces and he did that in less than three seconds.

Small pieces of Demon scattered around the area but Pablo was a focused man.

His eyes were on his target. On his red and black target.

The Demon’s heart.

He instantly bent down and picked up the big lump which was the Demon’s heart.

He held it near his mouth and before eating it, he looked at the floating eyeball.

The eyeball camera showed everything to the people and they were just processing the scene until Pablo himself made it clear for them…

"All this fighting made me hungry."
