Love/Death and Demons

Chapter 2

Looking at Lilith's hand Connor decided that he had no other choice and shock her hand. Taking her hand Connor felt a prick on his palm and a magic symbol appeared on the back of his hand.

" So, what do I have to do to get out of here" Connor asked

"Wow calm down you are nowhere near the strength you need to beat the monster over there" Lilith said

"Wait I have to kill that thing to get out of here, why you can't do it" Connor asked

"You need to become the strongest so that you will be able to handle the journey of leaving this place" Lilith explained

"Okay how do I get stronger here" Connor asked

" Easy eat, the fruits and beast here are known to make those who eat them stronger" said Lilith passing him a red fruit that looked like an eyeball

"What will this do," said Connor

"Eat it and find out, I have things I need to do so hurry up and get stronger" Lilith said walking away

Following her order Connor would eat the fruits the do 100 puah-ups,100 sit-ups,100 squats and run, 10 km every day. Doing this for the next month Connor was now strong enough to hunt down the monsters that lived in hell. One day when Connor was sleeping, he was woken up by Lilith crawling into the cave all blooded.

"What the hell happened to you" Connor asked while helping her to his makeshift bed

" It was the other sin's they found out about you and our plan" she said breathing heavily

" How could they find out it's only me and you here" Connor asked confused

"They probably had someone watching over me and overheard us"

"Then that means we are running out of time; you stay here and heal up I will deal with the beast and get the first key" Connor said walking over to his gear

"You're not strong enough it will kill you in one hit "Lilith said worried

"Don't worry I may not be strong enough, but I have something up my sleeve' Connor said picking up his crude bone sword and a satchel. Before she could say something, back Lilith fell asleep. Walking to the tunnel Connor was starting to regret this because his life was on the line.

(No even if I turn back the others will kill Lilith and me, I have to get us out of here)

When Connor got to the tunnel, he walked inside to see that the chimera was sleeping. Taking out a pouch from his bag Connor threw them at the heads of the chimera, when it his them the bag burst a green goo splashed all over the three head burning the eyes and skin. When he heard the cries of pain from the beast Connor ran to the beast while coting his bone sword in a purple liquid. When he reached the chimera, it swung down at Connor who was able to barely doge it. Getting back up Connor took out his bow and used his poison arrows to shoot the beast in the legs. during Connors month of training, he learned that the plants all had different effect the blue one had green goo in his that would burn like acid, the red one would shoot out a purple liquid the Connor would collect and later find out was poison, the pink on had dust on it that acted like sleeping powder. After a few minutes the poisons would start to kick in and the chimera would start to stumble. Seeing this as a chance Connor charged the chimera with his sword only to get smacked with its paw throwing him into a wall. Then the chimera used its tail to bite Connor, coughing up blood and holding his arms Connor could see that the chimera was fine besides a few burns. Confused on how it healed so quickly Connor used the rest of his strength to run into a small tunnel. After thinking for a while Connor walked out of the tunnel

"Guess I have to use that then" he said pulling out a bag with and skull painted on it

Throwing the bag at the chimera it stuck onto its fur, picking up his bow Connor shot an arrow at the same spot causing the bag to explode. With a loud boom Connor was blown back after waiting for the smoke to clear Connor could see the Chimera bleeding from that spot. Taking out more of those bags Connor threw all of them at the beast. He then took out another arrow when the chimera saw this he charged at Connor, not being able to react in time Connor was bashed against the wall. While spitting out more blood Connor started to get lightheaded taking out a different bag Connor drank the liquids and his body started to heal a little bit. Looking on the floor next to him Connor saw that his bow was broken and so were the rest of his arrows. Not giving a chance to get back up the chimera swung its tail at Connor that made him roll around the ground across the cave. Laying down on the ground Connor was about to give up when he heard a voice in his head

"Really is this all you got for someone who wants to get his revenge not doing well, but what would I expect from a human," said the unknown voice

Not able to respond Connor just listened

"You're supposed to the man that takes the thrown now that I'm dead, you are pathetic you will never be able to rule," said the voice

"At least I'm still alive" Connor retorted

"Ha Ha Ha Ha, at least you can speak for yourself very well I shall lend you some of my power sue it well" The voice said before disappearing

Suddenly a rush of energy filled Connor as his body started to heal faster. Shocked to that Connor got up the chimera charged at Connor, learning from last time Connor jumped up dodging his paw. Taking his last arrow Connor ran to the tunnel making room between them and at the last second, he threw the arrow that landed on one of the makeshift bombs. When the arrow it the bomb it exploded, then a chain of explosions happened causing the ceiling to collapse and the chimera to get crushed under the rubble. After taking a second to process what happened Connor passed out from using up all his energy.

When he woke back up Connor felt his head on something warm and soft opening his eyes Connor could see that he was laying down on Lilith's lap. He Connor tried to sit up he was stopped by Lilith

"You just fought a chimera; you won't be able to move your body for a while" she said with reddened cheeks looking away from Connor

"Then you could just put me on the floor this must be uncomfortable for you" Connor said trying to get up again

"No, it's fine" Lilith said while gently pushing him back down

"How long have I been sleeping for' Connor asked

" 3 day's" she replied

"What three days why didn't you wake me up" Connor said shocked

"You looked tired, and I didn't want to wake you "she said back

" Just get some more sleep I will make you something to eat" she said

Giving in Connor just laid down on her lap until he fell asleep again, but then he heard in his head
