Mezameru: Demons Arise

Chapter 16 : Fallen

After their battle with the gargoyles, Eleanor teleported them to the ocean floor where she confronted Aqua.

Frost: "How are we breathing? We're in the ocean; there should be no air."
Eleanor: "This is Aqua's personal territory; the only thing filled with water is the treasure room."

Hunter: "Oh yeah, I remember when we were in that submaroon-thingy and came here."
Eleanor: "It's a submarine, not 'submaroon,' you idiot."
Hunter: "Okay, I think I got it, Submarane!"
Eleanor sighs.
Frost: "Didn't you tell me yourself not to question his intellect-"
Eleanor: "I KNOW WHAT I F#CKING SAID!"

After Eleanor calmed down, they decided to explore the ruins and noticed the entire battlefield was ravaged with giant indents and marks from Alexander's katana and the Elemental dagger. They moved to the middle of the battlefield, covered in boulders and debris, where they discovered Alexander's half-bitten-off head. His head was detached from his body, and his bones were visible.

Eleanor: "Jesus..."
Hunter: "No... no... no... That... F#king Mermaid... BITCH!"
Hunter let out a loud scream, causing the cave to echo and the mermaid warriors outside to hear the commotion.

Mermaid general:"Filthy land scum!!
Take a good look at your pathetic dead ally,You will never beat the amazing Princess Aq-"
Hunter:"Shut your mouth"
Hunter grabbed the mermaid by the back of his head and then several golden tendrils stabbed through his skull and ripped the mermaids face off from the inside and even throwing his brain out
The other mermaids were enraged but Hunter simply sliced alot of them in half

Frost:"I think we should let him get his anger out"
Eleanor:"yeah lets go"
Eleanor and Frost Quickly got out of sight as hundreads of mermaids went to attack Hunter
Hunter lifted his right arm up and created giant golden claws
Hunter:"Show time"

Meanwhile, after June had finally started burning doen the Heaven's Mansion, a gargoyle arrived to deliver the news of their defeat.

June kicked the gargoyle into the wall and said "You creatures can't even defeat three people! I could have done a better job blindfolded."

The gargoyle: "M-my queen, the people you described were not the ones our soldiers fought!"

Confused, June demanded, "What do you mean?"

The gargoyle: "You mentioned a blue-haired male, a blonde angel female, and a wolf/demon male, but the only one present was the wolf male. The others were different: one was an arctic fox armed with mechanical weapons and the other was a psychic ."

June:"A psychic girl and a cyborg... they must be allied with the E.C.A.E. Foundation."

The gargoyle continued, "Furthermore, the mermaids have started a war, and most humans are busy fighting. If you have any plans, this would be the perfect time to initiate an attack."

June:"Most of the E.C.A.E agents must be out fighting the mermaids so it would be a perfect time for me to get the map of the soul stones so i can enchant the blade of agony and create the scythe of despair"

Meanwhile, Hunter was fighting thousands of mermaids.
Hunter: "GLEAMING CLEAVE!"
Hunter said as the golden claws he had created extended and unleashed a barrage of attacks, punching holes in multiple mermaids, killing them.

From afar, a mermaid general with an enchanted sea-Steel bow charged up her arrow and took in a deep breath, firing it at impeccable speed. The arrow landed in Hunter's shoulder. He immediately ripped it out, but he saw that the arrow was laced with poison and some poison was still in his blood.

Bow mermaid: "You're finished now, land-scum!"
Hunter began feeling light-headed, but just as it seemed like he was about to faint, he bit his shoulder, ripping off skin and causing blood to spill everywhere.
Mermaid: "Has he gone mad?"

Suddenly, Hunter spat out a bunch of poison he had sucked out of his body.
Bow mermaid: "No way..."
Hunter dipped his claws in the poison and then said, "Chains of venom."

Hunter summoned chains from his claws that were laced with poison and began tearing through mermaids. The Bow mermaid jumped from her tower, evading dozens of Hunter's chains and even firing some of her arrows to distract him. Some of the arrows even landed in his body.

But Hunter was fueled by adrenaline and rage. Ignoring the arrows sticking out of his body, he glared at the Bow mermaid with fury in his eyes.

Hunter: "You think a few arrows can stop me? I'll rip you apart!"
With a powerful leap, Hunter lunged towards the Bow mermaid, his chains of venom slashing through the air. The mermaid swiftly dodged his attacks, her graceful movements reflecting her expertise in battle.

Bow mermaid: "You're nothing but a Savage beast from the Land! You'll never defeat me!"

But Hunter was relentless. He attacked with lightning speed, his claws and chains becoming a deadly blur. The mermaids around him gasped in disbelief as one by one, their comrades fell to his brutal onslaught.

Hunter: "Your princess killed my friend so i will kill all her Allies!"
The Bow mermaid realized that facing Hunter head-on was a futile effort. She swam away, desperately trying to create distance between them. But Hunter pursued her relentlessly, his wounds only fueling his determination.

The mermaid general reached a hidden cove, hoping to find a hiding place within its depths. She turned to face Hunter, drawing her enchanted sea-Steel bow once again.

Bow mermaid: "You may have defeated my warriors, but you will never defeat me!"

Hunter grinned savagely, blood dripping from his wounds. He charged at her, his chains swinging wildly. The mermaid loosed arrow after arrow, the arrows finding their mark upon Hunter's body. But still, he pressed on, his pain only adding to his rage.

With a mighty roar, Hunter finally reached the Bow mermaid. He grabbed her bow hand, crushing the bones within his grip. She cried out in agony, dropping her weapon.

He brought his claws down upon her, tearing through flesh and bone. The mermaid's anguished screams filled the cove, a haunting testament to the brutality of their fight.

After minutes of the mermaid screaming, the adrenaline and rage disappeared from his body.
Hunter: "What have I done?"
Hunter realized that he was the monster. He had taken the lives of innocent soldiers who were merely obeying their ruler.

He had committed genocide, just like how Aqua killed Alexander.
Hunter killed innocent mermaids because of his rage.
Hunter immediately fled the battlefield in tears. He was embarrassed, reminded that no matter how much he tries, he will always be a bloodthirsty demon.
