Damned! The World!

Chapter VII (Ligaya and Lumbay)

When the unknown individual, who called himself a Hellhound, jabbed Pedro's chest and pulled the heart, it took the Nayhemsia aback.

The Nayhemsia then used his right fist to break the exorcism circle, which impressed the unknown individual. "O!—you have broken my spell!"

From the Hellhound's left palm, a small exorcism circle appeared that quickly materialized into a steel box. With his right hand, he places the heart on a steel box and puts it down on the ground.

He quickly shifted his fascinated gaze toward the Nayhemsia with a grin. "It looks like you are such a strong being that you've broken my exorcism spell."

"Isn't this exciting? I hope Lumbay was here."

"I will not let you escape Curse Angel! The headmaster will be very mad at me if I'd let that happen!"

The Hellhound's clapped his hands, where an exorcism circle abruptly illuminated and appeared above and below the Nayhemsia.

[SWOOOM!]

But then again, using his fists, the Nayhemsia easily destroyed the exorcism circle. The spell broke like shattering glass.

However, even if the Nayhemsia wrecked the exorcism circle, he didn't expect to see a second one appear again.

"My exorcism spell won't stop until I've fully locked you up."

In a quick move, the Nayhemsia uses all of his sharp tails to destroy the spell. It also directly stretches it toward the Hellhound, aggressively attacking him.

His sudden attack, utilizing his four sharp tails, impressed the Hellhound. "Hhmm?"

The Hellhound, however, blocked his tail using an exorcism spell barrier; it didn't penetrate the Hellhound.

It surprises the Nayhemsia: "A spell barrier?"

A few seconds later, the Hellhound casts an exorcism circle in his right palm, where a long sword quickly materializes. He uses it to cut one of the Nayhemsia's tails.

[ZHHHHK! CUT!]

The Hellhound caught the Nayhemsia off guard by cutting one of its tails. "Huh? It looks like he isn't a normal human."

"His psyche ability is pretty annoying too!"

His sharp and aggressive tails quickly swoop back, and the cut one instantly regenerates.

He also noticed that the Hellhounds, Eirgo is something unusual, somewhat twisted; "Is he also using dark Eirgo?"

He can sense the same energy that the cambion earlier possessed. Afterward, he notices that his eirgo is also weakening: "This kid's physique is still weak, and I cannot fight for an extended period... or his body will be destroyed!  Furthermore, his eirgo is closed.

"I need to get out of here!" His immense power worried him that he might wreck Damion's physique. So he came up with the idea to escape from the scene as soon as possible.

He right away gestured his right hand like a gun, aiming its index finger toward the Hellhound. From his index finger, a purple light brewed and then suddenly released a radiant beam of purple light.

It zoomed towards the hellhound.

[ZOOM!]

The attack that the Nayhemsia made was evaded by the hellhound. It landed on the rubble and then exploded brightly, leaving the entire area ablaze with fire.

His attack amused the Hellhound and made him question, "Would you like to join the Hellhounds? Your immense power will be useful for us."

"I'm sure Headmaster Carlos will be happy to have you!"

The Nayhemsia declined his offer by responding to nothing but another attack of a shooting barrage of beaming purple light.

His attacks all missed and didn't hit the Hellhound. However, it was all on purpose, as his attacks created a murk of dust in the surroundings to create a screen cover for his escape. The Nayhemsia then created two exorcism circles where, from the ground, a spiraling hollow emerged with a circumference of approximately two hundred to two hundred fifty centimeters.

[THUNDER CRACKS WITH LIGHTNING]

From above, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the exorcism circle that the Nayhemsia was casting, and the spiraling hollow abruptly dissolved.

"Don't try to escape!"

From behind the Nayhemsia, an individual who was also wearing a dark robe shouted, "We know your identity, cursed Angel; you are a Nayhemsia! We have come to recapture you from the Aphenomes!

"Oh, Lumbay! You have arrived! Good thing that you came, because I cannot stand this strong and magnificent creature alone! Hehehe!"

The hellhound called the individual `'Lumbay.' They seem to know each other. He then approached the hellhound and said, "That's the exact reason why I came here—to save you from the Nayhemsia."

He then snorted, "Can you stop being so excited about everything, Ligaya?"

Lumbay named the Hellhound that the Nayhemsia fought earlier, Ligaya.

Both Ligaya and Lumbay then removed their hoods, which surprised the Nayhemsia. He saw their faces were similar; they were twin brothers!

From their faces, you can tell that their age is around eighteen years old. However, you cannot easily identify them as young teens because of their height, which is around six feet and two inches.

They have the same configuration for almost everything! But you can also tell who is who. Ligaya has a more joyous face and an excited tone when he speaks, while Lumbay has always been scowling with his apathetic eyes.

Ligaya then said to his twin brother Lumbay, "I made a deal with him earlier. He doesn't need to fight me, but he just declined my offer and sent me a strong attack!" Ligaya flickered and picked up the steel box from the ground where he had placed Pedro's heart.

He quickly hurled it to Lumbay and added, "Look what I've got! I'm sure the headmaster will be delighted to see that!"

Lumbay then checked what was inside and later raised his left hand. Men dressed in dark clothing lurked in the shadows behind him. They looked like ninjas. He quickly gave the steel box to one of these ninja-looking men and instructed, "Inform the headquarters that we have found the Nayhemsia, and also give that steel box to Sirawlu."

The ninja-looking men swiftly nodded their heads and dashed out of the shadow as soon as Lumbay handed them the steel box.

Later on, Lumbay glared at the Nayhemsia. The Nayhemsia quickly clapped its hands, causing the skies to rumble. From above, the skies emitted lightning flashes.

[HEAVY CRACKING NOISES!]

[ZAP! -THUNDER STRUCK!]

A lightning bolt suddenly struck the Nayhemsia blazing him to flames. Lumbay then screeched, "Ligaya now!"

Ligaya cast the same exorcism spell he had been repeatedly casting toward Nayhemsia earlier. From the exorcism circle, a chain quickly shackled the Nayhemsia, unabling him to move. What came next left both of the twins in total surprise: the nayhemsia turned into a frog.

"Eh?" Lumbay was surprised as he realized, "A replacement exorcism spell?" No wonder it's not reacting to our attacks.

His eyes then closed as he calmed his mind and muttered, "The headmaster was correct; the Nayhemsia was too strong for us to handle!"

Ligaya snapped his fingers in frustration as he wasted an opportunity. "Damn! We almost got him! What a waste!"

He sighed while frowning as he added, "Speaking of, 'we failed to retrieve the Nayhemsia'...The headmaster is going to be upset with us!" His voice was filled with anxiety.

Lumbay then soothed Ligaya, "Don't think about it; what is more important for us now is to get out of here before the police arrive."

"We still have the cambions heart though; that would please the headmaster."

Both Ligaya and Lumbay then quickly dashed out of the area from the shadows when they heard the blaring sirens of the police cars approaching!

[WANG! WANG! WANG!]

[INTENSE LIGHTNING FLASHES AND THUNDER RUMBLING!]

Somewhere on the northern coast of Polo de Oro City

The ceiling shimmered with elegant chandeliers while the floor exuded luxury with its marble finish. The sweeping staircase, lavish ornaments, and great entryway exuded the grandeur and elegance of the mansion!

Inside the mansion, a man who was wearing a golden masquerade mask poured luxurious liquor into a glass of wine filled with glittering ice cubes.

He then mentioned the following names: "Vax, Petro, Dryle, and Orion."

Under the cover of darkness, these four individuals moved together; they all wore gray hooded robes adorned with a patch of inverted crosses on their right chests and backs.

They all then kneeled before the man. "Senor!"

A few seconds later, one of them, who carries a large book in his left hand, inquired, "What is it, Don Ramon?"

As Don Ramon enjoyed his luxurious wine, he hauled out an image from his drawer and showed it to everyone with his right hand. He then showed everyone the image with his right hand.

The image displays the face of a certain individual with blonde hair who appears to be wearing a police uniform. It was a police officer. The image has a red cross marking on it.

[SLURP]

Don Ramon finishes drinking his luxurious wine, and he then raises his left hand, instructing them to stand.

After that, he yelled as he declared, "My Grims!"

"Prepare for a fight, for the time has come!"

The four of them silently bowed, and all at once replied, "Si Senor!
