Chapter 96 95. Reader's Crook (2).

"GET UP!" Jiwoo's body roared at the demonic figure.

"Kukuku.... Kuhahaha!!" The figure laughed hysterically, wiped off his nose and glared at Jiwoo in delight.

"Yes! Yes, this is it! Hahaha!" Jiwoo's body laughed and grinned at the figure in joy.

'Oi, rescue the others!' Jiwoo commanded his body.

"Che." His body clicked his tongue and ignored its owner.

'F**k! I can tell why the trait is named after Eshwar.' Jiwoo thought.

Jiwoo's body leaned forward and dashed at the figure, while glancing at the sides where Katline, Katharine and Violet were and noticed that Violet had her left arm broken, Katharine had coughed out several mouthfuls of blood in front of her while Katline only had a drop of blood on the right corner of her lips, she held her stomach and was groaning, except that she didn't seem to be any more damaged like Katharine nor Violet.

'It seems Vinny's consciousness is trying to hold him back!' Jiwoo thought as his right eyebrow twitched.

"..... It seems you have noticed, but...." the figure grinned while glaring at Jiwoo.

"It won't last long!" he completed his sentence.

"You too." Jiwoo's body spoke before it threw the katana at him in full force.

WHOOOSH

"Don't get cocky, human. In about 30 seconds, he'll go into a sweet 'slumber' which he would never want to wake up from." He spoke before swatting the katana as if it was a fly.

"I could say the same to you. Don't get too cocky demon." Jiwoo's body spoke after it appeared right before the demonic figure.

BAM

Jiwoo's body jabbed at the figure's face; Jiwoo had no idea how much damage he was causing, but the figure's face was covered in blood...

Jiwoo's blood, every time his body attacked, it was his body that would take more damage rather than dealing any more damage, but his body had no intention of stopping.

"Re.....ry." a low muffled voice was sounded from behind.

WHOOMMM

"Ukh! I'll help too!" Katharine appeared next to Jiwoo who felt his body slowly heal.

'It seems they are back in the game.' Jiwoo thought.

WHOOSH

SWISH (2x)

Two arrows passed by Jiwoo, but his body snorted and accelerated by a notch; even though Jiwoo could feel his body falling apart, he didn't want to stop because the rage he was feeling was completely overwhelming his other emotions and numbing his feelings.

THOOP (2x)

The arrows struck the figure's right shoulder, poking out as if asking to be struck, so that it would dig in deeper, and Jiwoo's body did just that. He punched the end of the arrow with full force, and while one arrow broke in half, the other did not, but both pierced his right shoulder.

"Ukh." He groaned.

SNAP (5x)

Jiwoo's body took a step forward to deal more damage, but his body began to creak, unable to take it any longer.

'Sh*t! Not now!!'

"Grr..." Jiwoo's body growled in frustration because it couldn't take even a single step forward anymore.

[Crooked Skill: Will Power activated.]

[Trait: Eshwar's Rage is taking control over the [Crooked Skill: Will Power.] temporarily.]

WHOOMMM

'What!?' Jiwoo thought as he felt his body being moved by something and that 'something' was being controlled by him.

"Grraaa...." Jiwoo's body roared in agony.

'What is going on? Why is it so fixated on killing him?' Jiwoo asked himself.

'Their is no-' Jiwoo's thoughts were cut short when suddenly his body was engulfed in pain.

"Ghaaaaa!!!!!" Jiwoo screamed in agony.

[Warning!]

[Trait: Eshwar's Rage is forcibly being stopped for user's safety.]

Jiwoo flopped to the ground like a wet rag, his bones cracked and broke, his muscles twisted and tore, his cracked ribs pierced his lungs, his broken knuckles hurt, his heart hurt, and finally his mana core began to hurt from mana abuse and mana overload.

His mind went blank as a result of the pain, his body went numb, and the only thing he could feel was pain, an excruciating amount of pain cruising through his entire body. His body twitched and snapped uncontrollably, and the amount of pain he felt suddenly doubled, becoming unbearable, and Jiwoo lost consciousness.

***

"One down, three to go." The demonic figure mumbled while staring at the woman with blonde hair, who was casting a healing spell on her fallen friend.

'What is he? He just flopped down and started to scream in pain as if he had become a different person.....' the figure thought.

'I, Vassago, the demon who commanded 26 demon legions, am being thrashed by these insignificant humans!!' Vassago exclaimed in rage, inwardly.

'And why is my 'authority' not working on him?' Vassago was perplexed as he looked at the unconscious man in front of him.

"F**king hell, did he seriously had to lose his consciousness now?" the woman with brown hair and bright green eyes snarled.

"What in the god's name just happened? He just acted like he was a different person!" Another woman with a bow said in disbelief.

"I guess what Vinny said was true." She mumbled.

"Haap!"

WHOOOSH

"You're too weak to face me, human." Vassago said after dodging the vertical sword slash of the brown haired woman.

SWISH (2x)

Two arrows were shot at his head and stomach, respectively. Vassago attempted to swat the arrows away with his right hand, but the arrows piercing his right shoulder prevented him from doing so.

"Uck." He groaned in pain, swerved to avoid the arrow aimed at his head, and simply grabbed the arrow aimed at his stomach.

'Damn, this human body!' he snarled at his 'still' mortal body.

WHOOOMMM

"I just won't slash then!" the woman wielding a sword mumbled.

DUM

"Ack?!!" Vassago groaned, baffled by what just happened. The woman swung her sword sideways at his head. She held her sword vertically and struck his head horizontally, which left him flabbergasted.

Vassago raised his head and stared at the woman, perplexed.

"What the f**k?" he mumbled.

"You dare!??!" he roared with a deep frown. What she did just now was simply too disrespectful for Vassago to accept the outcome.

WHOOSH

He abruptly raised his left hand, pointing at the woman wielding the sword.

"Disappear!" he roared in outrage.

KRAT-KAT-TAKKRAT

Black lightning flashed through his left arm, forming a small fist sized blob of lightning in front of his arm before it was released.

KRAKATRAT-RAT-KATRAT

WHOOSH

For a brief moment, a black hue formed by his lightning attack obscured his vision before dissipating.

"Huh?" Vassago looked at the unscathed figures in front of him disbelief.

A white-haired young man with bright orange eyes and vertical black pupils stood in front of him; he had a strange demonic aura around him that Vassago could easily feel just because the figure in front of him didn't bother hiding it.

"You alright?" He asked the woman wielding the sword, who was in his arms with a flushed face.

"Y-yes!?" She answered.

"Okay then, continue." He said and then walked away, towards the unconscious man and the blonde-haired woman who was healing him, with a lazy expression on his face, leaving everyone flabbergasted.
