A figure of man, no a demon since he has two horns in his forehead and a tail, is right in front of me. He has a handsome face. Well duh, they are from other realm existence or to be exact the former angels a.k.a. the devils. The devil has no physical body cause his appearance is like is in a ghost form or ethereal form but clearer version where I can clearly see his face. Beside of him is a weredemon lying on the floor. I guess that his vessel or to be exact the body where the devil use to possess. I don’t feel pity to the weredemon since they are the devil descendants which are prideful, sinful and most of all, almost immortal.
The devil tried to possess me before that’s why I was getting crazy making me replaying my past and spouting some bullshit lines. Thanks to my skills: [Augmented Brain] and [Spirit Bulwark] his black magic fails and its side effects makes me replay my past which is weird and it feels realistic even its illusion.
I talk some bullshit lines because I know this black magic is ‘illusion’ done by a weredemon together with the devil, and we know that they are a prideful idiot race. Because of it, the possession backfired making its vessel, the weredemon lost consciousness but if it’s done to normal people, they will die in the process. If they successfully possess me, I will become their puppet that obediently follows their command to the bottom of my heart. ’yikes’
I do not expect that the moment I enter this dungeon I lost my consciousness. I know that it’s a supernatural phenomenon since I have no idea what hit me. It feels some kind of hammer thrown towards my head and my head hurts something like it starts to fry. Fortunately it has the same characteristic in illusion magic and I know how to generally deal it.
It seems they are in the middle of renovating this dungeon, maybe that’s the cause. This dungeon is own by the Demonica Empire making a false advertisement that there’s a bountiful of treasures and expensive ores can be found on the last floor of it. But in reality it just a nest of monsters and corpses.
The Demonica Empire makes this to strengthen the royal families’ magic by feeding on the miseries or negative energy of the victims making them stronger in the process. My first objective here is to reach a certain room hoping to get some good treasures or clues or whatever that piques my interest but I never know that I will get caught off guard.
I think I need to go see the kingdoms and nations and their current status once I finish my business here. I feel like that I need to set foot to a civilization and I need to experience what is like in Medieval Age.
Right now my hands and feet are both heavily and tightly chained. These chains are not normal chains. These are mana-binding chains use to completely block my magical and physical powers.
‘These chains are annoying but not for me, just wait you ugly dirty imp’.
Then the devil in ethereal form floats towards me. I slightly feel a chill around my body but it subsides as I always experience supernatural events on the past so this one is a little shock to me.
“Who are you or what are you, human?”
“A human of course”
“That’s impossible no mere mortal can cancel a black illusion magic unless you know the caster’s weakness”
“Can you please explain what’s going on?”
“Polite are we?, STOP playing AROUND!!”
Ouch that was loud. I think my eardrum bursts and bleeding right now.
“How do you get here? ANSWER!!”
“Okay okay don’t shout, I just use the back door exit”
The demon opens and widens his eyes with his jaw almost drop in the ground. After few seconds, he regains his composure and starts to speak.
“Impossible that’s impossible, only I know that door, no one knows about it, Impossible!”
“Well, the password is ‘Open Sesame’”
The demon again widens his eyes and shock after hearing my words. I cannot tell him about my [World Knowledge] that helps me locate his very outrageous back door and I just luckily guess the password since I watch Disney movies on the past so don’t blame me, okay.
“You, what are you? I use appraisal on to you and only shows you’re just a normal low level human”
“A human of course”
“How could this be? Thousands of hopefuls, almost all high level combatants fell on this dungeon. I fed to their miseries day and night. I spent years and years to create this dungeon just to clear it by a mere lowly human?!! UNACCEPTABLE!!”
Ouch, my ear ringing again and I can feel a liquid coming out from my eardrums. And to answer why he sees me as lowly human? I have a nano dog tag, it has capability to mask my true level. In other words he views me as weak being. And also I can’t use [Identify] on him since he is a devil from other realm existence. ‘Tch’
“Can I go now? These chains are hurting me.”
“Of course, you can but”
His face reddens from anger and turns into a scary one and my hairs at my back are standing. This is what they called spine chilling experience. I have a great feeling that this is bad. His face drew close and closer to me.
‘Damn.. this mana binding chains..I need more time to analyze the frequency’
There is one quick way to get out of here.
“JOHN!!”
A white light shines besides me and a familiar figure emerges from it.
“Cut these chains and KICK his ASS!!”
“My pleasure”
After cutting my chains, John moves forward to the stunned demon.
“That explains everythi…”
John does not waste any seconds and start his attack by swinging his rotating mace. The devil dodges it and starts to fall back. There movements are too fast that to me it seems that they blink from one spot then to other random spot leaving only there afterimages. John continuously attack the devil like there’s no tomorrow. I know that those attacks are beyond mortal level because it releases shockwaves after shockwaves that makes this entire room shakes.
Speaking of room, I almost forgot to give a glance on it because of the current situation. The room is so huge and I remember that this was supposed to be a dungeon so this must be a boss room. There are six huge pillars at every side of the room. There are two things I notice. One, the room’s color was pink as to why it colored it like that, I had no idea. Two, the room is made of diamond, yes diamond. So this is what he says about years after years of forming. Is this supernatural devil an idiot, I question myself.
I look again in the battle, it seems they fight nonstop or to be exact, John chases the devil with no breaks. Looks like these angels and devil’s body are different since they don’t tire or break to recover their stamina. It’s like their cat and mouse hunt, will go on forever and forever.
“So this is the battle between angel and demon, man I can’t fight like that even I use all my skills”
As I say that, I notice that the devil’s form getting smaller and smaller every time the rotating mace swings to its direction, it’s like a paper cut into bits by bits.
‘Hmmm, I thought it’s a stalemate fight but it seems the demon loses slowly’
“What’s happening, ’Mwah- mwah Tsup Tsup-sama’ losing this battle?”
I look over the source of the voice and found the standing weredemon mumbling something but thanks to my enhanced body, I can hear what he says before. So that’s the name of this scary devil, wow I am surprised, I think I need to face palm myself.
When our eyes meet, I feel a terrible bloodlust from him but I didn’t flinch because compared to other monsters I fought before, his bloodlust level can be compared to a chicken level. That’s how laughable his bloodlust right now or maybe he is pissed before because I mocked his entire race and his parents. I don’t feel bad for him, I just pay what he do to me using black illusion magic before. After that, I ignore him by shifting my attention towards the battle above us.
The battle between the devil and angel or chasing to be exact still continues and the silly-name devil’s ethereal form starts to vanish but I notice something is weird. Every time the rotating mace hits the wall of this dungeon, the wall remains intact like it wasn’t hit before. I know that the force of the rotating mace is so devastating that the current me cannot escape without serious injury and the wall is not indestructible because there are old cracks here and there. Odd, I give up on looking for answers behind that mystery; let’s accept it that it happens there and its supernatural.
“Hey don’t ignore me”
*Swoosh *
*Boom*
I dodge the incoming black fireball from my left side.
“Why did you dodge?”
“and why did you attack?”
“Your lowly kind is lower than ours so you must not complain and follow my order to DIE right NOW!!”
“..”

I dodge the incoming magic spells from the idiot weredemon and I don’t want to name all of those half-baked spells. I ignore him and just watch the remaining time of the devil above us.
“Don’t DODGE my attacks…… SLAVE!!!”
“SHUT UP BRATT!!!”
I deoxidize the air around him and he starts to become silent then kneeling down trying to grasp the air while grabbing his neck with his right hand. The noisy and haughty weredemon is now a good child but in unusual way.
‘I should just done that from the start..now for the battle’
Like always John chases the devil, 'Mwah-mwah Tsup-tsup', damn I don’t want to mention his silly name. The ethereal form of the devil is in ¼ size now from his full size before. The demon do not attack from the start which is weird. It is like buying some time for something.
*Crack sounds*
“Johnhh, I have a baaad feeling of this”
“Yeah me too, I feel an ominous energy around the walls”
“Walls…eh”
And speaking of the devil, he laughs and speaks.
“HA HA HA ha ha ha..this dungeon will become your grave”
“Correction, John never dies”
“HA? Right….then behold this will become your grave lowly human”
As he realize that the being, an angel, never dies he turns his attention towards me.
“Correction, I am not lowly human”
I dispel my nano dog tag for a moment to show him my current level.
“Ha? What’s with this 4000 level?!!”
“Shall we end this now? I am sick of your presence”
I need to end this fight as John only has two hours limit and there fight just now takes almost an hour.
“WHAT?? You dare to mock ME!!! You’ll regret this human..Behold my true form.comeforth my food, my negative energy!”
He raise his two blurry hands and the wall starts to crack and black mist starts to cover our surroundings.
“WHAT..what’s the meaning of this? Why my negative energy stop only at the walls?”
“Who knows..is your plan to show us your failure?”
Actually, I use my [Absolute Defense] to wrap around the walls, the ceiling and the floors from the beginning to prevent the devil to escape from the fight and it looks like my skill blocks the negative energy which is nice.
“NO!!..flow to me my negative energy..my negative energy!!!...ENERGY!!!”
“John”
As he starts to get desperate, I signal John to finish the work.
“Hasta la vista…Devil”
“I will RETURN and KILL you HUMAN!!! ….AAAAAAHHHhhhh….”
“hehe…Yeah feel free to come back and forth…in hell”
John hits the devil and start to vanish but he is stubborn that he is able to say few words before he poof like a smoke at the end and I replied him with a smile.
After few second, a voice interrupts us and starts introducing his great name.
“I am the great prince of Demonica Empire, MCDemon is my name, first in line of the throne don’t dare you ignore ME!”
“Sorry, your lowliness,err..I mean your highness, by any chance do you know MCDonald? ”
I asked him a silly question. I almost forgot this idiot and he don’t know his current situation.
A vein pops up in his head and starts chanting a spell.
“Black Fireball……Ah don’t DODGE!!! SLAVE!!!”
I dodge and ask him a question.
“A slave? Are all humans slave to you?”
“Yes, everybody is a slave before our great race, WEREDEMON!!”
He puffs up his chest while exclaiming those words.
“Oh..okay then you never mind treated as slave your lowliness? ” I smile wickedly.
“How dare you mockin…AAAGGGHHH”
I punch him in his abdomen effortlessly.
“Whaa..t are you, how come your so strong?”
*SLAP*
“I talk..you answer. Understand?”
He only nods as he have no choice but to comply since he remember that I easily dodge his attack and easily punch him that makes him fear for more pain, sheltered children are more fearful to pain. Then I ask him all sorts of questions, about their military, academy, economy, names of important people, current status of neighboring countries, and so on and so forth. John is already gone as the two hour limit reach and I keep talking to the weredemon prince for hours and hours.
At first, he didn’t answer questions like national secrets but thanks to my [Neuro-control] I was able to extract sensitive information which may helpful in the future, he is shock as to why his mouth moves and tells me honestly about his nation’s secret and information. After using my skill several times, he gave up and answers my questions honestly as possible. Still I use my skill to ensure that he gave me the correct info, no lies and no lacks.
After I am satisfied, I walk towards the exit but the fool starts to chant magic as I turn my back towards him. It seems he does not give up because of his pride being step by a lowly human. He plays along with me all the way to find a chance to kill me but that is his greatest mistake of his entire life
“DIE!!!”
He shoots fireballs again at me but I don’t dodge it to show my capability. I warmly welcome the fireballs, it seems the fireballs are larger and faster and the explosion is bigger. Smoke filled around my body and it seems he was happy to kill me.
“ahahaha…I kill him..ahahahah..That’s what you get being cocky..slave!”
*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
“It seems you give me a good reason to torture you, your lowliness”
The weredemon’s eyes widens as his attacks didn’t kill me and top of it, I have no scratches around my body even my clothes are still intact. Thanks to nanotechnology, my clothes are harder and sturdier than a metal armor.
He goes silent and his legs starts to tremble and a warm liquid flowing on to it.
“Are you perhaps, pissing off yourself, lowliness?”
“ARggghhhhhh…stop….stop….stop..S..T..O..P”
As to break the silence, I move instantly in his front and dig my hand to his stomach and start to pull his intestines. I show him what I can do that I can kill him in a million ways. His face become pale and eyes widens again, he screams for help but no one answers or come to him. And I start my torture for him.
Since physical torture takes more time and I really need to reach a certain room, I use [Neuro-control] to tell his brain to make hallucinations on his greatest fears and sights which takes of course inside his brain. Psychological attacks are more damaging than physical one. Every fear and imagination he thinks the brain will process it and make some hallucinations that he feels real and exactly happens to him. He trembles on the spot, murmuring something and shaking in fear. I draw close on to his ear and said.
“My name is Apocalyto..you can run but you can’t hide. Remember…A..PO..CA..LYP..TO”
I order the neurons to make him remember my words. After that I left undisturb and he starts to speak like ‘Apocalypto will kill me’, ‘Go away’, ‘Leave me alone’,’Apocalypto is scary’ and so on and so forth like a drug addict hallucinating.
"Ahhhh......A..PO..CA..LYP..TO...go away......ahhh”
"APOCALYPTO"
