Chapter 5: The Test (Part 2)

Start from the beginning
                                        

Issei gritted his teeth as he tried his best to keep up with the Demon, but there was a slight problem and that was the fact that the Demon seemed to be more faster than the brown-haired boy.

Demon: “wols”

The cloaked figure punched Issei.

Demon: "...yppols"

He kicks Issei’s gut making the boy vomit blood.

Demon: "...kaew"

Issei tries to punch him but the cloaked figure grabbed his arm and slammed his elbow onto Issei arm breaking it.

Issei: 'FUCK!'

Demon: "...dna sselkcer"

Issei gritted his teeth as he glared at the Demon, how the hell was this thing so powerful. Actually, more importantly.... why did Dante choose this thing for him to face? While he may be having a test, it was one of life and death and this could very well be his end.

Issei: "You bastard...."

Issei tried to attack the demon with the Yamato, but the demon effortlessly knocked the weapon out of the boys hand and headbutt him which cause Issei to stumble back.

Demon "...ythorwnu"

Issei: "Fucking hell!..."

The Demon kicked Issei back as he crashed into a crystal all, causing him to scream out in pain as he coughed up some blood.

Demon: "...sgniht gnivil lla fo dne eht gnirb dlouw uoy, kniht ot"

Issei: "The hell are you even saying!?"

Issei struggled to stand.

Issei: "Speak normal, dammit! And show me your face!"

The demon chuckled as Issei's ears were soon filled with the sound of bones breaking and other horrific noises although it wasn't coming from Issei.... it was coming from the Demon.

Issei watched as the Demon grabbed its hood and pulled it back to reveal the terrifying face underneath.

Demon: "As I said before.... I'm you"

Issei: "What?!"

Demon: "Are you deaf? I am you and you are me"

Issei stared at the demon, revealed to be himself with a shocked expression.

Issei: "No, no. This has to be a trick!"

The demon laughed.

Demon: "Oh, this is very much real. I am you, I am what you shall become!"

With little to no effort, the man walked up to Issei and forcefully grabbed him by the neck, lifting him into the air. Issei struggled to break free with his one good arm, but it proved futile. At first, Issei thought it was all just an illusion, some sort of trick that Dante had constructed for the test. However, as he stared at the monster in front of him, he began to realize that this was no mere illusion. This was the embodiment of evil itself, an abomination that had stripped away Issei's humanity.
