Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Terminated.
She grits her teeth before tensing her body to stand up. Her feet lost some of their strength. But gradually it returned, making her stand on her feet.
Slowly, Devi started to approach the place where the battle happened a moment ago. She turned her gaze sideways, trying to search for the two individuals that had caused this incident. They disappear, leaving no trace.
"...Where are they?".
She tried to scan the perimeter, but no trace had been found, and there was only her, who stood on the bridge alone. Devi couldn\'t describe what was actually on her mind. Should she be happy for the disappearance of the two people she hates? Or it is sad because the relics her father asked for also get pulverized along with the boy.
"Tch, What a mess!".
There was nothing she could do in her current state, so she took out the phone to contact her father. Then, might as well leave this place for the event that happened earlier surely will attract crowds any second. As she tried to dial her father\'s number, her face suddenly got slammed to the ground, along with the agony that assaulted her nerves.
"Ack!".
"Where do you think you\'re going?".
Devi\'s body turned rigid as she heard the familiar voice that gave her trauma. With her head being pinned to the ground, in the corner of her eyes, she managed to catch a glimpse of the appearance of the devil with wounds all over his body, making his figure look more menacing.
With the terror, the devil had caused her. Unconsciously, Devi raises her battle aura. She tries to get rid of the devil who is restraining her. With a resounding boom from her aura, the devil gets pushed back.
"Tch!".
With his weakened body, the devil got pushed away as he rolled on the ground. Then, using his wings to stabilize his form, he regained his stance while floating on the ground, casting his murderous gaze on Devi.
Devi, who managed to break free, hurriedly stood up and summoned a sword from her storage, and turned her back only to open her gaze in shock. The devil, with his wounded state, had lost one of his limbs, which is his right leg. The wound from his legs was still fresh, and it was still dripping blood.
However, it was faint, but the blood that dripped was getting smaller as the wound got closed by the strong recovery of the devil.
Seeing the devil\'s state, courage started to accumulate in her heart, making her stirred heart regain its calm and disturbed heart regain its clarity. However, a slight thought of her trying to engage in battle with him made her heart clench in pain.
"...Tch, hand me the ite… umpht!".
"Shut your mouth!".
Before Devi could finish her words, the devil figure reappeared before her and shoved his palm to her mouth, preventing her from speaking. The devil once again slammed her head to the asphalt, making a spider web upon the collision.
Devi, who regained her calm once again, realized that the figure before her was something that could not be taken lightly. The grip on her jaw starts to get stronger. It sent an intense pain and fear to her brain, making her body shudder while thrashing away.
"Hmmpt!".
"I said. Shut up!".
A crackling starts to echo in Devi\'s ears as it sends a shiver down her spine. Then, from the devil\'s left gauntlet, a tiny crackling of crimson lightning started to electrocute her head straight to her brain nerves, paralyzing her.
"Tch still not dead, huh".
The power of the magic which the devil released was still not enough to kill her. This is also because he is exhausted from his earlier battle. But the devil is still determined to finish her. He raised his right hand, which then struck Devi\'s right in the face.
A dry thud resounded within the empty street, but that sound alone sent a chill to an average person who saw the scene. Another blow he unleashed made Devi\'s consciousness fade. The devil realized that the strength in his body was getting weakened as the count of the Adapt skill almost reached its peak.
[Adapt to the devil power …90%]
Holding Devi\'s jaws firmly, the devil starts to forget about his condition and focuses only on killing the woman in front of him.
"Aaaaaah!!".
Blow after blow. He unleashed while letting out a cry and a cracking sound as the skull on Devi\'s face hollowed. Each time he struck, Devi\'s body twitched in response to her motor refl. The devil kept relentlessly punching Devi\'s face until a translucent window appeared before him, celebrating his unfinished business.

After the devil saw the notification from the window before his eyes. A red magic circle as big as an adult palm starts to emerge themselves between both of them. Then, on the magic circle with paper and pen, the symbol tore itself. Then something warm that feels nostalgic starts to invade his weak body, giving it a bit of life.
The devil\'s lips spread, showing his ferocious smile, strength gradually leaving his body as he raised his gaze to the sky. Watching the glittering black sky completely calmed his rage mind.
[Adapt to the devil power 99%]
"It\'s time, huh".
The devil stood from his place, helped by his wings. However, after he separated one step from the corpse, his vision shook, and the power in his body left him. His wings, horn, and tail start to dissipate like black smoke and then disappear into the atmosphere.
"Kuh?!".
Soma, who regained his sanity, dropped his body but managed to hold it using his remaining limbs. All the nerves in his body screamed in agony, and all of the muscles in his body were torn apart, rendering his body helpless.
"Bleeeergh!".
A fountain of blood began to pour from Soma\'s mouth, making blood drain from his face. As the strength in his body weakened and also his life. His body dropped to the ground, bathed in his own blood while still clinging to the life he fought. "...I must …not ….sleep!".
"Aa…ahk".
"Yes, My lady, how about him?".
There is a faint sound of footsteps approaching his place, but Soma, with his current condition, can\'t even tell who it is and only manages to catch the faint sound of a woman.
"...Understood!".
Violet deactivated the com and began to move as instructed. She took out a vial filled with green fluid from her storage before she approached Soma\'s sorry state. Then, with delicate hands, she turned his body facing the sky.
"If you can hear me. Drink this as if your life is on the lines".
The vial that had been opened by Violet. She placed it on Soma\'s lips and let it flow to his throat gently. Gradually, the content of the vial disappeared, and the pale face of Soma had slightly regained its color. But the potion was not strong enough to restore his missing limb.
Violet threw away the empty vial to the sea, and then she easily lifted Soma\'s body to her shoulder and spoke in a faint whisper.
"Rest for now. Everything will be alright".
Soma, who heard the voice, surrendered himself to the darkness. After Violet heard Soma\'s slow breathing from her side, she enhanced her body and used her item to hide both of them before leaving the place.
