Chapter 46: FAIR

Teng te neng te neng te neng... It sounds like a big music box. They all looked at each other and they were equally amazed. It was a little cold all around.

"Did you hear that?" Rusty asked.

"Yes. Maybe someone sells ice cream?" Rodel retorted.

"Selling ice cream at night?" the language is Mikee.

He raised his right arm where he was wearing the bracelet Grimm had given him. It glows red. The others also looked at their bracelets and it all shone red. Rusty and Grimm also look at their necklace.

"T-There's a devil." Rey swallowed.

They continued walking and felt around. Teng teneng teng teng neng teng ... Grimm knows what devil they will face. It was one of Vassago's demonic creations. A Demon Clown carrying Jack in the box. In the box it carries comes the strange sound they hear. That's why Rodel thought someone was selling ice cream.

Moments later they heard a strange laugh. Laughter of a madman coming from underground. They were all stunned as if the surroundings they were in seemed to change. It became dense and dark there because the streetlight light suddenly went out. In a few moments they could hear the strange sound louder. Getting closer and closer. From the thick part of the road a clown appeared... It looked scary then, it was smiling and twirling the crank of the box it was carrying. They could all see the fangs of its teeth. Rusty suddenly grabbed Grimm's arm. She backed away and shivered.

"Are you alright?" Grimm whispered to her.

"N-No... I'm scared of clowns. I have a phobia there because I watched a horror movie with a crazy clown killing." Rusty said scared.

Grimm shook his head.

"It's not really good for kids to watch horror. Mikee, you take care of Rusty first."

Grimm gently removed Rusty's hand and held it in his best-friend's arm. He walked forward and faced the opponent.

"Leave him to me."

"Grimm !" Ricky objected.

Grimm simply glance at him.

"Don't worry about me because the weird Priest is teaching me how to fight demons like him. This one is a bit cruel and crazy. So please, stay away first."

Even though Grimm's Kuwarog Boys opposed, they did nothing but retreat. Because they do not know how to deal with the enemy. However, they are waiting for what will happen and they are ready to resuscitate the friend if necessary.

Grimm first started with the clown. He had to stop spinning it in the box. Because by the time the jack came out inside it would explode loudly. He punched him in the head but it block the box and withdrew. After that, the clown attack him with his long sharp nails, he scratched him. It even laughs like crazy as they fight. He escaped its attack. This kind of demon is suicidal. Once they touch you, they will not let you go until the box they are holding explodes.

The clown accelerated the spinning of the box and immediately rushed towards Grimm as he did so. The young man ran away to avoid it. After that, he used his chains. Grimm's friends were amazed when their friend's body glowed and it seemed like he had white tattoos on his body. After that a pentagram came out followed by the chains that Grimm now holds.

"Cool!" Salv exclaimed.

Grimm simply looked at his friends and smiled. He confronted his opponent again.

"Now, I'll put you first in your plan!"

Using his chains he attacked the clown. He rained them down but it avoided them. He is a bit new to using chains so he is still a bit sloppy. He uses his ice power less because he cares about his friends. It spat on him with a dark green liquid that was very thick but he avoided it. The weeds that were hit smoked and melted. The foul smell also smelled... Then he remembered that the saliva of this creature was acid.

Rusty clings to Mikee's arm every time she looks at Grimm's ugly clown opponent. She bowed because she was really scared. She looked around and there was what she saw crawling. Her companions did not notice that because they were busy watching Grimm fight and they were just cheering. She looked closely at what was crawling... It was moss-colored with a strip of brown. She even looked at it closely and her eyes widened as she realized what they were. Gradually they were surrounded. She tightened her grip on Mikee.

"M-Mikee!"

"Rusty, why?" its somewhat irritable language.

"L-Leech! We are surrounded by leech monsters!" She froze.

A leech suddenly jumped on them but they easily escaped. They have big teeth and their mouths open...

"Guys! Let's get an available weapon! Leech monsters are attacking us!..." Mikee said loudly.

Because of that the others looked around.

"Damn!" Rodel exclaimed.

He had a phobia of leech because he was stuck in the leg when he was a child. That was one of his traumatic experiences. They got together in one place and get ready for the leeches.

"Hoy, Rodel! Why are you in the middle? Shouldn't Rusty be there because she's the woman?" Rey commented.

"I-I'm sorry! You know I have a phobia of leeches!"

It left the center and Rusty was sent there. They were holding the branches of the tree they had picked. The leeches began to attack them with their big sharp-pointed teeth. And they also began to strike. It was as if they were playing baseball in those moments. Rusty gripped her necklace tightly. Then, she remembered that her dad had given her that necklace for protection. She left the middle and went next to Mikee. She took out the pendant of her necklace and pointed it to the leeches. They burned in the light of Rusty's necklace.

"Imitate me, guys! Your bracelets are used as protection against demons. They will burn when we pointed the light of the stone to them!"

"Thanks for the hint!" the language is Mikee.

They imitated Rusty. They applied to the leeches the light of their bracelets and burned them. They have formed what looks like a shield around them.

"Just, no one will separate on our group!" Rey reminded.

But more and more leeches are approaching them. They continued what they were doing. And the leeches also continued to rush.

Meanwhile... The ugly clown continues to spit acid on Grimm. He completely avoided its attack. He hid his chains again and he decided he would use his ice power. He'll take care of his excuse later. He was spit on again with acid but he made a thick ice wall. The clown was surprised at what he did because the ice spit on it did not melt.

"Are you surprised, huh? I'm no longer the former Grimm!"

He moved quickly around it. It looked at him as if studying his movements but it would be difficult because he rotated it fast and he was going in a different direction. It spit acid again but he retaliated with a thick block of ice. It hit and the body sank to the ground. But despite everything it still managed to laugh. This speeds up the rotation of the box. An explosion can destroy an entire town.

Because of that Grimm acted quickly. He quickly circled around it again but this time and he was already emitting thick ice. Gradually, he form a circle that looks like a solid cage. He had to get ahead of his opponent before he could blow up his box.

Meanwhile... Gradually, a large number of leeches gathered. They cluster together until a giant leech is formed. Rodel swallowed terribly and quickly grabbed the hand of his neighbor Salv.

"Hoy, the heck! The situation is getting worse, now you even thought of giving up! "this language irritated.

Salv tries to remove his friend's hand but does not want to let go.

"Friend, I'm not giving! I just can't handle that powers... Its big!"

Rodel closed his eyes tightly and he remembered what had happened when he was caught by a large leech on his leg. He was very afraid of pouring salt on the leech that clung to his leg and when it was removed, a lot of blood flowed to its source... Rodel open his eyes, he took a deep breath to calm himself. He looked at the giant leech again... He was swallowed up in horror.

Mikee did not know what to do. They are stuck in a dangerous situation and he does not know if he should change form. He glanced at Grimm. It is still busy there with its opponent. The giant leech rushed at them so they jumped in their respective directions. The opponent is a bit confused because he does not know which of them he will attack first.

Rodel's breathing were constant. He certainly could not act properly when he exercised fear. He looked at the bag he was holding and his eyes hit the junk foods there that they won on the fair with the canned goods, and instant noodles... He remembered that the snacks was salty... And they brought a lot then. Then, he felt a lump in his pocket and he remembered that his leftover salt from the balut he ate was there.

"Guys! We can defeat that giant leech! It would be more favorable for them all to be together!" he smiled.

His friends look at him in amazement.

"In that case, tell us how before he even thought of rushing one of us!" Ricky said.

Rodel look at the giant leech intently...

"Guys, the leeches are dying in the salt. And there were many of us then because we had a lot of junk food. The junk food is salty, isn't it? Plus, I still have salt in my pocket..."

"Junk foods?!" Rusty exclaimed.

She hugged the bag of her groceries. She couldn't seem to take the snacks away from her.

"Rusty, just eat some bread at Grimm's house and don’t be frustrated of losing your snacks. The bread is more delicious and nutritious than those, so do not regret it." Mikee reminded.

He is very grateful to Rodel for what he thought. Its phobia seems to have helped them all.

"Take out the junk foods!" Mikee shouted loudly.

They all took out their junk foods and immediately opened it all up.

Meanwhile... Grimm's thick ice finally covered his opponent. Yet, it did not stop turning the box. Grimm stopped for a moment because he was tired. Just, yesterday he got into a fight, then here he is again. He had not yet fully regained the strength he had lost. Moments later the jack came out of the box and after that a very loud explosion occurred. Yet, only a dim light appeared because all the fire including the devil clown was just trapped inside the ice. As the eruption subsided, Grimm's massive ice gradually collapsed.

He turned to his companions and saw that they were scattering the contents of the snacks they had brought there with the giant leech. He immediately approached his friends. He also opened the snacks he brought and helped them. After a while, the giant leech moaned loudly and stopped moving. It was suddenly covered with a thick, viscous white liquid.
