Chapter 25: Heart Demon

Since take-off, Luki's expression still same as before. He kept his hateful expression showed all over his face. Even that made Vera, who was still surprised to realize that her feet left the ground for the first time asking.

"Hey, are you still angry over it?" this time she asked in a more soft tone. But Luki paid it no mind. She tried to make him respond but for some reason, Luki was gazing at nothing!

"Luki! Hey, wake up!" even she started to worry now.

-

Actually, Luki's anger was ignited by the demon inside his heart. There was only one purpose the demon race exist. It was to make human race fall to the depth of the hell. Even now, the demon inside his heart trying to made Luki enraged by reminding what Jasmine had done to his parents.

But inside his unconsciousness, Luki's consciousness was trapped in the cage. This cage was created by his heart demon to let Luki's anger unleashed as much as possible. But outside that cage, a bright male standing right outside the cage.

"Luki, don't let your anger control you!" said the bright man. He said that even though it was a little cliche. "Can you just forget that matter? Maybe she has a reason because she doesn't even tell you about it."

"Forgive? You also know what she did! She kept using my parent's money for a much unexplainable reason. Even though maybe she used that to develop the Artifical Intelligence, I still won't forgive her! She made my parents left my side  because they lack the money to keep their sick body treated."

With that, Luki gave his heart demon a chance to take control over his body. The bright man then said again, "So you hated her because of that. I also know that because I'm also you. But she really did a great contribution to the world like she had promised to our parents."

"But she never came to my parents grave even their funeral! Even she did not come when my parents were sick! She also did not come when my family needs her the most! From anyone I hate in this world, she will absolutely get the number one position."

The heart demon even rampaging in his unconsciousness. The bright man said again, "There are many strange things about that if you look at it. How about after this we ask our parents the truth behind this? But you still need to at least do not mind this for a while. How about that?"

Luki's consciousness then stared at the bright man before answering. "I, I can't control it! Damn, to think that my inner demon is strong!"

The bright man also surprised but soon he told Luki, "Quickly forget anything about it and focus on what will you do. This will do the trick. And, Luki. If the truth is still unacceptable to you, can you still forgive her?"

The bright man disappeared. Luki then focused his mind on the thing he had to do. The heart demon then said, "That fucking bitch made your parents die! She even did not feel grateful to your parents by abandoning them! She showed it by letting your parents suffered while they were poor."

But Luki kept one thing, 'Forget this!'

-

Luki then gained full consciousness. He only saw that the barrier to protect the cockpit interior was activated. "What happened?"

"Hmm, Luki. You almost succumb to your heart demon and...." the ant king did not explain any further and hinted Luki to looked back. He turned and saw that Vera was injured. "Hey, are you....injured by me?"

He knew that when you succumbed to the heart demon, your thinking started to dull, you would lose your consciousness and at the worst case, drowning in those negative emotion. That was bad because you did not know what you did cause a little or bigger destruction or something scarier.

And Luki's condition fell to the latter. He now felt regret to let his heart demon took control of him because of past grudge. 'Sometimes the hot-tempered person is not likable because of this huh.'

He then took a risk by saying, "If you angry at me or if you feel I pissed you off, this is my body and this is my face. You can do anything to me at this time. This is my act to receive your forgiveness!"

He could only stare at her trembled body. She showed a shocked expression before turned to the usual. Then she started to punch him. His face, his body and she did that on the cockpit!

"Don't let yourself lose to your anger!" said Vera that already returned to her seat. 'Really, you made me worried for real there.'

But to Luki who accepted her strike, he felt that his Inner Power increased instead. "Thank you," he said that to Vera, smiling. 'Well, this will be the last thing I enjoy before asking to return to where my parents are, right?'

Vera did not answer. But she then lowered her head and murmuring something.

"Hey, Luki. How much time till we arrived at that town?" the ant king asked. The difference in speed was too enormous so the arrival time was different. "AIMAF, is there any town down there?" Luki tried to confirm this with the System.

He looked at the monitor that gave him the map that created from the camera below the aircraft. "It should be the place. Please landed the fighter a few kilometers from here."

With the aid of the System, the fighter had the auto pilot mode on. It landed on the forest and its cloaking device started to adapt to the environment.

Luki then got off from the fighter, with the last was Vera. But somehow her condition was worse than before. She kept placing her hand on her head. "Why are you not saying anything about it?" asked Luki with a sigh.

'You should say if something happens. Really, this young woman.'

Luki was sure she had symptom from air sickness. "Do you know that the first time you get on that thing, you will feel that your ear was hearing something that piercing your eardrums and make your ear hurt? The next thing you know, you already feel this pain in the head. If you feel this symptom, you really had airsickness."

"Airsickness?" Vera now had seen that Luki gained something to understand most thing that she didn't. 

"Rest for a while should do. But..." Luki felt really complicated to ask this. It was because he had a desire to get stronger, at least the power that can surpass the Evil God.

"After I rest, I want to see your skill a little. But you must do a favor for me too," said Vera serious.

"Hmm, what kind of favor?" Luki's eyebrow raised. 'As long as not something too hard.'

Then Vera grabbed Luki's hand and said, "Please, please save this world from this calamity. I cannot do it alone because I have this strange sensation every time some bad things will happen. And you are the legendary Immortal that even my family respect. Please! I beg you!"

She stared right at Luki. 'Save the world? If this Outsider Beast related to the Evil God, then the answer is already settled. But I'm still not sure if that was the right meaning.' Luki thought.

"I don't know much, really. But I'll try to investigate this matter. And my objective is to defeat the Evil God. For now, I will help you a bit." replied Luki. He didn't know that his answer made Vera pleased inside.

"Then, receive this strike!" suddenly she attacked without warning!
