BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 The Demonic Hunger
I watched as my son Kayden ran away, his small figure disappearing into the distance. I felt helpless, unable to do anything to stop him. At the same time, I could feel Nari\'s never-ending attacks coming at me, one after another. I tried my best to avoid them, but it seemed like there was no end to her onslaught.
Desperation set in as I realized that I needed to catch my son before it was too late. I knew that there was only one way to do it – by summoning the demon that resided within me. It was a risky move, but I had no other choice.
With a deep breath, I closed my eyes and focused all of my energy on the demon. I felt its power coursing through my body, and I knew that I had to act fast before it consumed me completely.
Suddenly, a dark cloud formed around me, and the demon emerged from my body. It was a terrifying sight to behold, with sharp teeth and glowing red eyes. But I had no time to be afraid.
"Get my son," I commanded the demon. "Bring him back to me."
The demon nodded and vanished into thin air, leaving me alone with Nari once again.
I knew that I had to be careful now that the demon was out. It was unpredictable and dangerous, and I couldn\'t afford to lose control. But I also knew that I had to protect my family at all costs.
Moments later, the demon returned with my son in its grasp. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took Kayden from its arms and held him close.
But then, something strange happened. The demon seemed to be hesitating, as if it were waiting for something.
"What\'s wrong?" I asked, confused.
The demon looked at me with its glowing red eyes. [You summoned me, Hector. You know what I require in return.]
My heart sank as the realization hit me. The demon wanted to a prize.
"You can eat her," I said, pointing at Nari. "Just let me and my son go."
The demon grinned, revealing its sharp teeth. [As you wish, Hector.]
In an instant, the demon lunged at Nari. I looked away, unable to watch.
"Aaagh!"
Her high-pitched tone screamed in agony and the bitch wasn\'t so strong as she was before. The demon slowly started to break Nari\'s bones and rip her apart bit by bit. As soon as the demon finished, it vanished from sight.
Nari collapsed on the floor. Lifeless. Only the sounds of blood splattering around her could be heard.
It was over for her now.
A familiar voice came from behind me. [You are a fool.] he placed his hand on my shoulder and pulled me up, then pushed me forward.
[Your son… now give me that child…]
I felt a chill run down my spine as I looked at Nari lying there, motionless. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I could feel the fear and desperation rising within me. But as I looked up, I saw the demon still looming over us, its eyes fixed on my son.
[Give me the boy,] it whispered to me, its voice low and menacing.
I felt a surge of anger and defiance rise up within me.
"No," I spat out, my voice hoarse with emotion. "Wasn\'t that monkey enough for you?" I hoped to keep Kayden for the next time when the demon gets hungry again.
The demon let out a low, guttural growl, and I could see its eyes narrowing in anger. But I stood my ground, refusing to back down.
"You cannot have him," I repeated, my voice stronger this time.
The demon hesitated for a moment, as if considering its options. But then it let out a piercing scream, and I knew that the battle had begun. I braced myself for the fight ahead, determined to protect myself at all costs!
As the demon screamed, I felt a wave of pain shoot through my ears. The sound was deafening, and I had to cover my ears with my hands to try and block it out. But even then, I could feel the sheer force of the scream shaking the very foundations of the room.
And then, suddenly, the ceiling began to crack and crumble. Chunks of plaster and wood rained down on us, and I threw my arms around my son to shield him from the falling debris.
The demon was still screaming, its voice echoing through the room like a thousand tortured souls. But I could see that it was weakening, its form flickering and fading in and out of existence.
I felt the fear and panic rising within me as I watched in horror as some unseen force violently shoved me away from my son. I tried to resist, to fight against whatever was pushing me, but it was like trying to push against a solid wall. I felt powerless, helpless, and completely at the mercy of this inexplicable force.
As I was thrown back, I caught a glimpse of my son, Kayden, and my heart sank as I saw the demon open its and tried to swallow my son.
"No!" i screamed, but it was too late. It had already swallowed him whole.
Crunching on his small body, the demon growled in satisfaction as it looked up at me, eyes were filled with malice, and it seemed to take pleasure in my pain and suffering.
[It\'s time for your reward…] it threw hup Kayden\'s body and vanished into a thin air.
I fell to my knees next to the ground where my child lay dead or dying. I couldn\'t tell which anymore. My tears were flowing freely now, and no matter how hard i tried, there wasn\'t any way to stop them.
As i knelt down beside him, he opened his eyes wide and stared straight at me, "da-dad…" he stuttered as he spoke, "was I a bad kid…?" then he closed his eyes again. I felt my heart break into pieces. He was gone forever, "…what have I done…?"
