World End: The Successor's Contract

"He has a good intuition, I'll give him that." Uta muttered from within the sword.

Zeno suddenly felt a huge ache in his chest, he fell to his knee, groaning as he tried to fight the pain.

"Zeno! Hey Zeno, are you okay?" Uta asked in a worried tone.

"Yeah… yeah I'm fine , just need a minute." He muttered, while panting as the crystal on his chest began to shine.

"I could turn back if the strain is gaining on you-".

"Shut up for a sec." Zeno uttered, his eyes were glowing blue and the blue streaks were starting to take route on his body.,

Placing his hands on his face as he tried to hold his composure, "I.. can't ..hold it…anymore." He muttered.

The shrieks finally took over and Zeno's veins were now glowing, even on his face and neck.

He stood to his feet with his body surrounded by both his blue flames and lightning.

"Are you seriously going to make me wait forever?" The bandit uttered.

A huge wave of magic energy whooshed out of Zeno's body and spread into the surrounding with a boom.

The bandit leader sensed the magic and even he was shocked, "You had this much power in you? I feel insulted." He smirked.

Looking at Zeno, he slammed his ax to the ground, 'Even with my cursed weapons I might not stand a chance… who cares..'.

The bandit launched himself toward Zeno while yelling, "Fight me like your life depends on it!".

"Die!" Zeno chose his words slowly before picking up on the bandit's position.

He then launched himself toward the bandit at full speed, a speed so fast that even the bandit didn't have time to react properly.

"Pull yourself together, damn it!" Uta yelled, there wasn't much she could do in her sword form, she can't turn into her human form unless Zeno gives the release.

The bandit tried to block the sword attacks with his ax but it wasn't strong enough.

'This must be your full strength?' The bandit thought to himself with a grin on his lips, "Give me more!" He yelled.

The sword sent both him and his ax flying with the ground split open with Zeno's sword hitting the ground.

"You're not playing around kid, I'm impressed." The bandit gave a weak smile.

He looked at his ax and saw that it was already battered at the side, "If I keep going like this, I'm most definitely going to die." He thought to himself.

"Okay then, guess it's time I gave it my all." The bandit raised his hands to the sky,

"Those who yield by might alone cannot hold me down

Fulfill our contract and slay those who get in my way

Awaken from your slumber and destroy my enemies

Bashimon!".

A magic circle suddenly appeared in the sky and landed on the Bandit. Once the magic circle had disappeared, the man was looking completely different.

He had golden armor with a golden helmet making him look like the knights from ancient times.

He also had a golden hammer that was floating in the air beside him, he grabbed the hammer and slammed it on the floor, "Okay kid; let's take a round two shall we?".

Zeno stood there for a while, looking at the bandit with his glowing eyes and flaming body.

The bandit did the same thing, he had a fighting stance and was ready to attack at any moment.

Boom!

They both dashed into each other, sending fast moving strikes that caused a massive storm to form.

"Very good, yes… fight me!" The bandit yelled while using his hammer to block Zeno's sword strike.

With a step back the bandit wanted to send another hammer strike only to receive a kick to the stomach that pushed him a bit back.

The bandit looked at his armor and saw that there was a dent on the spot Zeno kicked, "Impossible… how were you able to..".

Before the bandit could finish his sentence Zeno was already on top of him when his fist ready to land an attack.

The bandit panicked and began waving his hammer above him, "No shit, how is this kid so strong?" The bandit muttered.

He looked to his didn't and bamm, he received a blow from Zeno almost instantly shattered his golden helmet.

Geko walked into the scene to see Zeno beating the living shit out of the bandit's body.

"He's gotten stronger than before." She muttered to herself.

Geko suddenly felt another ache in her chest and sighed before placing her hand on left chest, "Calm the hell down, or I'm leaving." She whispered to herself.

Speeding left and right, Zeno kept punching the bandit in different places, which led to the bandit's armor getting torn off.

Zeno was about to land another punch when all of sudden, the bandit started yelling.

"I went through all that just to be defeated by a kid, no no no, I refuse to believe that, I'm not a fool!" He yelled.

The bandit grabbed Zeno's neck and began tightening his grip, "I'm not a fool, you hear me?".

"No your just stupid".

The bandit's eyes widened in shock when he found Uta standing behind him with her hand positioned on her back.

"How did you…"

"No one gets to touch him except me, I never liked you to begin with, so this should be fun." Uta uttered.

Before the man could utter another word, his head exploded into bits after Uta slapped it with both her hands.

His blood spilled all over Zeno's body before falling to the ground and spewing blood from his headless body.

Zeno's body turned back to normal and the first thing he saw was a headless body in front of him.

He screamed while dragging his butt on the ground, "What the hell happened?" He asked while using his eyes to scan the blood in his body.

"Relax, it's just blood." Uta uttered, using her finger to clean the blood on her face.

"You're crazy." Zeno exclaimed, before he could move from his spot he suddenly felt his body give up on him and he fell to the ground.

Uta held Zeno's body, resting his head on her lap, "Zeno, Zeno! Come on, wake up." She called out.

Zeno immediately sprung up from Uta's lap and landed a few feet away from her.

He landed on his foot before bending and resting his hands on his knees.

Uta stood up from the ground slowly, Zeno's back was turned to her so she couldn't see his face.

"Hey, Zeno?" Uta made her way toward him slowly.

He stood up from the ground and made a huge sigh before turning his face to Uta "Don't worry, I'm still me" Zeno muttered.

Ava walked in on them, she was dragging the a Bandit's body on the floor, "You two seem cubby." She uttered.

"Ava." Zeno turned look at her and saw the bandit on the floor, "What are you doing with her?" Zeno moved away from Uta and asked.

Pouting, Uta folded her arms, "Jerk." She mumbled before she reluctantly followed behind Zeno.

"I went out to get out another bandit and I come here just to see you being lovey with a demon…. How shameless." Ava frowned.

"Wow calm down, it's Uta, u know demon Uta." He tried to calm her down but it didn't seem to be working.

"Oh I see now, you're protecting her, is that it? You should just die." She started making slow steps toward him.

"Will you get a grip, geez!" He replied.

Ava sighed, "if I'm honest, I want to kill her so badly, but I'm only human, and Geko won't help me kill her, cuz she's her master or something." She immediately diverted her eyes to Uta.

Uta pulled Zeno away from her, "Okay that's enough, where's Anna?" Uta scanned the area with her eyes.

"Now that u mentioned it, I haven't seen her since the battle, I say we go look for her." Zeno suggested.

"Great idea." Ava grabbed Zeno's hand and started heading out to look for her sister, "You… you can just question the bandit when he wakes".

Uta started laughing, "Okay… might accidentally kill you one of these days, just saying," She smiled.

"Unlikely." Ava turned and smiled at her.

They were about to start fighting, giving each other death stares from a distance.

"How long is this going to take?" Zeno asked, as just stood there watching as the two of them stared at each other to death.

He sighed, "I wish Anna was here." He thought to himself

"Can u guys quit acting like children, let's move, we still have a village to go to.'' Anna walked in on them while dragging Andrew's body to the ground.

They both stopped fighting and Zeno had a relief look on his face, "Seems you are also dragging a dead person… why is Andrew dead?"' Zeno asked.

"He's not dead geez! Just unconscious, We'll have to ask him what happened when he wakes"...

"We have no means of transportation, how exactly do we continue?" Uta asked with a concerned look.

Anna sighed but before she could say anything Uta yelled, "No way, you not implying we...we...we walk!"

"I'm afraid so." Anna responded.

"Okay then, I'm on board with this, we better move, it will get dark soon." Zeno took Andrew's unconscious body and started walking.

"Come on, you a demon ain't you, shouldn't be a big deal" Anna followed Zeno.

Uta sighed before she and Ava followed too.
