Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 272: Obey Me

All that fighting made Pablo hungry.

He was hungry in the middle of the fight and out of all the things he could eat, he planned to eat the Demon’s heart.

"What?"

"Is he going to eat that?"

"Is he a Cannibal?"

The people watching from their screens were filled with questions and the people who knew Pablo personally watched silently.

For example, people like Cupid.

’How can you be so calm about eating a heart? I can’t believe it.’

She herself had told Pablo how to kill the Demon but it still made her quiver that Pablo was smiling while holding the Demon’s heart. He wasn’t the least bit uncomfortable.

’I just want to kill him. The thrill of killing him overpowers the feeling of disgust of eating his heart. You won’t get it.’

’I don’t want to get it either. Just end this.’

Cupid went silent and Pablo opened his mouth wide.

The eyeball camera stayed glued on Pablo and everyone watched the man.

"Will he eat it?"

"Why is he even eating that?"

"Could it be…"

"Yes." Pablo said. "You are thinking right."

"What? Who are you talking about?" Boulder asked.

Pablo looked at the camera.

"The people."

Everyone raised their brows.

Pablo carried on.

"They want to know why I am eating this heart and the answer they all are thinking is right."

"He heard me?"

"Just how good are his ears?"

People were confused.

They were talking from their homes which was far away from the Glory city, and yet Pablo heard them?

’Altor gave me a handy power.’

Right now, Pablo was the pinnacle of existence.

He could hear, see, feel everything, anything he wanted.

If he wanted to hear the voices of every single person living in Seraphim, he could.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t a fan of wasting time.

"Everyone, I could hear you all but that’s not important right now. What’s important is the death of this Demon."

People were silent. They would hear what Pablo had to say.

"And to kill this Demon, I am holding his heart in my hand. As some of you have already guessed, the only way to kill this Demon is to eat his heart. And I, for the sake of you all, am willing to do it."

Pablo revealed the killing method to everyone and they all made faces.

They puked at the thought of eating a heart. And that only made Pablo more great.

"He is willing to eat a heart to save the kingdom."

"He is doing that for us."

"Kill him, Pablo!"

"Eat it!"

"We are with you!"

Cheers erupted from all around the Kingdom and Pablo heard every one of them.

Pablo garnered the favor of every person watching the fight and he smiled.

’Personally, I don’t care if these fuckers are with me or not. But I am not complaining about this as well.’

Everyone focused on Pablo, waiting for him to eat the heart.

"How does he even know how to kill a Demon? This doesn’t make any sense." Jamal complained as usual.

"He is a detective. Maybe that’s why he knows." The King said.

"Then does it mean that he knew how to kill a Demon all along?" Jamal raised a question.

"It’s possible." Boulder spoke. "I mean, no one here knows how to kill him so if the detective knows that then it’s pretty evident that he knew that from the start."

"Wait. Then why didn’t he tell us from the start? We could have finished off the Demon when we had the army." Jamal said.

The King and Boulder both shook their heads.

Boulder looked at the King and the King nodded.

Boulder returned the nod and opened his mouth.

But someone else spoke first.

"Why would he ever tell the secret to you all?"

Jamal and the others looked at the person who said that and they all raised their brows.

It was Tank. An Abyssal Butcher.

"You are siding with him?" Jamal asked.

"Of course not. I am just answering your question."

"What?"

"Are you an idiot? Even those two got it." Tank retorted.

Boulder and the King had understood but Jamal was out of his wits.

Tank shook his head. "Just how much do you hate that guy that you can’t even think properly?"

"Just say it clearly. What are you all talking about?" Jamal retorted and Tank pitied the man. He decided to tell the high duke.

"The Demon here is a crisis of an enemy to the whole kingdom and whoever kills that thing will be hailed as a hero. And right now, everyone is watching so there is no better time than now to step up and kill the Demon.

Hence, that detective took his chance. He waited for a good amount of people to die so it could make the residents hopeless and that’s when he came out. Right when everyone thought it was over.

What I am saying is, he knew how to kill the Demon from the start but he didn’t reveal that to everyone because he wanted to kill the Demon all by himself. He wanted to be revered as the savior of this Kingdom and the way I am seeing it, he is very close to doing that."

Jamal clenched his fist.

"And we are just supposed to watch him do that?"

"Hmm? If you can stop him then go ahead. But keep in mind…" Tank gave a side eye to Jamal.

"He won’t hesitate to eat one more heart."

Jamal’s fist trembled more but in the end, he loosened them.

"I’ll think about it."

He went silent after that and everyone again focused on Pablo.

Pablo opened his mouth, brought the heart closer to it and…

SLICK!

The heart slithered.

It was moving slightly from the get go but this time, it moved at a considerable rate.

And before Pablo could take control, the slimy heart slipped from his hand.

"This shit!"

Pablo stretched his hand to catch the heart but it leaped onto the Demon’s chest.

The heart then went inside the Demon’s chest and the Being twitched.

’Fuck. I wasted too much time on that speech. Angel, how much time is left until this God mode of mine ends?’

’Five minutes.’ Cupid answered right away.

’That’s enough. I won’t waste even a damn second this time.’

Pablo held his sword again and moved towards the still lying Demon.

"Too late."

Pablo hit nothing but air and when he looked behind him, the Being was standing tall.

He was all healed and his eyes were fuming with rage.

"You won’t get me twice, human. I won’t play around this time."

"It was me who was playing around."

Pablo dashed at the Demon again with his sword and the Being jumped back.

"I wanted your head." Pablo said as his sword was only able to cut both legs of the Demon.

"You bastard!"

The Demon screamed as he fell down on the ground once more.

But this time, he won’t be at Pablo’s mercy.

His legs grew back faster than ever and he stood up.

Pablo couldn’t care less about any of it. He only had five minutes and he won’t let them go to waste.

He pressed towards the Demon once more with his sword.

"Back off!"

The Demon raised both of his hands in the air.

"Thousand Tethers!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs.

RUMBLE!

The ground rumbled and Pablo stopped for a second.

"Something is coming from below?"

Pablo’s senses were at their highest and the next second, he took off in the air.

Jamal and the others also felt the rumbling of the ground and they all had no idea what would happen. They didn’t even know something was coming from the underground.

But everyone including the audience knew for sure what was about to come.

The Demon said it himself.

BURST!

The ground below Pablo exploded and from there, came out red long swords aiming towards the man.

’Good thing I am in the air.’

Pablo would have suffered some blows if he had stayed on the ground.

Jamal and the others were saved as the attack was only meant for Pablo.

He dodged the red swords in the air and he constantly looked around.

’Thousand Tethers. He called so many of his swords. Not bad.’

Pablo boosted his speed in the air and he went high above. He reached above the clouds.

The thousand Tethers flew after him but they would take some time to reach him.

So before that, he looked at his own sword.

He took a deep breath and said, "Multiply yourself."

His sword vibrated. It probably said, "?"

"I don’t give a fuck. Just multiply yourself by ten thousand."

The sword vibrated again.

Pablo gritted his teeths. He held the sword tighter.

"Obey Me, Bitch!"

Pablo’s eyes glowed golden and their shine fell onto his sword.

As a result, the sword vibrated again and this time, it was not a refusal.

SHING!

The sword flinched on Pablo’s hands and seeing its desperation, Pablo let it go.

It stayed in the air and with a flash of golden light, the multiplication took place.

Pablo smiled. "I’ll leave them to you."

He didn’t wait for his sword to duplicate itself as he began descending back on the ground.

He broke through the air and without any delay, he reached in front of the Demon.

His right hand went straight to the neck of the Demon.

"You are mine."
