Chapter 66: Ally or Enemy?

He leaned the mirror against the wall. He clapped his hands and get everyone's attention.

"Guys, look at this mirror. I'll open it. Just a reminder, don't be afraid of what you sees because she can't do anything wrong. I already tied her up."

Everyone line up and face the mirror. It was just that, they were behind Grimm. Rusty stepped aside and clung to the hem of his uncle Clemen's clothes.

"Get ready!"

Orphen had already removed the paper covering the glass. Their eyes widened as they saw a woman wrapped in roots and unable to move. It can't even speak. It still looks like a corpse that seems to have decayed. Its eyes are closed and helpless.

"Because she did not get any spirit for a very long time, it gradually decomposed. Such is the soul of evil creatures. Weak and decaying. Until death, they are miserable. In a few years she will disappear forever. But of course, Clemen and I will not prolong her suffering. We need to finish her. It is already difficult and she may have another victim and that is going to be a problem." Orphen added.

Clemen approached the mirror and uttered a prayer. After that, he blessed the mirror with holy-water. It smoked and the creature inside seemed to be on fire. After that, Clemen even released a small pentagram. From there, came out a knife with a cross design. He thrust the knife into the glass and sank it deep inside. He stabbed the soul in the chest and it slowly melted and disappeared like a bubble.

"The cool one!" Rodel exclaimed.

"Yeah, its cool!" Salv.

Others commented and what they said was really cool. Mikee smiled and folded his arms.

"It's going well. Because I can't watch them all the time." his language is still weak.

Grimm laughed at his friends. But he was also a little sad. Will they still accept him when they find out that he is a demon? He was violently rested because of that thought.

"Okay, the best thing is... Let's fix what needs to be fixed and when we get home early!" Clemen's announcement.

"OKAY!" everyone said cheerfully.

They have already started cleaning the old mansion again. Everyone thinks what a minor mission the two exorcists are saying. It turned out that they were just going to a haunted mansion and removing the stain of evil spirits. It was late afternoon when they finished. They were happily chatting on the road while walking home when suddenly there was smoke. They all stopped walking as their red bracelets glowed. Very bright red. Rusty grabbed her necklace. Her Dad fixed it and he put a stronger spell to protect her and not to repeat what happened. She looked at the road and like everyone else, she was stunned when she saw a shadow in the middle of the road.

"A-A demon!" Mikee exclaimed.

He felt that this demon was not light. He looked at Grimm's young friends. They are not ready to fight this kind of powerful demon. They are just beginners. He looked at the others and finally looked at Grimm. His cover is in danger again. Gradually, the white smoke subsided and the form of the shadow was exposed to them all. The man is a little taller than Grimm. His attire is All Black and his over-the-shoulder straight hair is swaying in the air. They saw a face that was probably the most gentle. The man smiled sparingly and looked carefully at everyone's face.

Grimm was stunned and shock when he saw his best friend in hell... This helped him escape from hell. The corner of its lip moved then spoke.

"Huh, I think you were too distracted by my beauty." it began.

Everyone was even more stunned. The man even signed peace with them.

"If the word handsome, gorgeous, gorgeous and beautiful man... Just look at this face and you will define all those words. I am Victor — the creature best created on earth! V-is the name. Victor for beauty! Yeah!"

Everyone blinked a few times and they were even more stunned. Victor looked at the only woman there.

"Miss, I know you are very distracted by my beauty. But as long as you just admire, you should not be in love with me." He said huskily.

Rusty recovered from the shock and suddenly fainted.

"I just remember, I was the one assigned to cook dinner. Dad is already waiting for me."

She walked forward and did pass the demon in the middle of the road. He rudely combed his hair to get attaention but Rusty just ignored it.

"I just remembered, maybe my Grandma was looking for me." Mikee said.

"I'm the one who's scheduled to cook." Rey.

"I will watch over my brothers and sisters." Salv.

"I'm going to clean the house." Rodel.

"I'm going to watch a TV show." Ricky.

After that everyone walked out one by one. When Grimm's friends left, Victor confronted his opponents again.

"Huh, insecure people. But anyway, I can't blame them but a bit annoying with a walk-out. What Grimm? Are you also distracted by my beauty?"

Clemen frowned and looked at Grimm puzzled.

"Hoy, Grimm! If you're a Failure-Creation... What's this one called?" he couldn't help but ask.

Grimm was startled by the shock. Victor was used to be boastful, he feels that he is the most beautiful being in the world and now, it seems worse now? He hesitated to look at his teachers.

"Probably, the rejected?" he said hesitantly.

Orphen laughed softly and folded his arms.

"Are you a demon? How many insecticide did you hit before you came here? You're stupid!"

Victor simply rubbed his forehead.

"Huh, I'm a demon. I shouldn't be affected by the hurtful words I hear. But ouch!"

Then he pretended to be teary-eyed.

"Let's go home." Clemen.

He does not strike at the stupid creature. Because even now, the boastfulness of this one is debilitating. He feels that he is so handsome on its own!

"It's better." Orphen.

The two walked away. When Grimm walked he suddenly stopped. A sharp knife suddenly plunged into his foot. Its a warning. He looked at Victor. His face was staring at him seriously.

"I was sent here to kill you. I am the Black Assassin of Hell who will finish you, Grimm."

Victor combed his straight black hair over his shoulder again. Grimm was no longer surprised by what it said. He was suddenly startled. He knew it had just been ordered.

"I won't hit you. Just leave." He just said.

"In that case, sorry Grimm!"

After that a sharp giant crescent-sword suddenly appeared in its right hand. It lifted the knife in the air. It shone like crescent-moon. He quickly threw the weapon at Grimm but he made a thick ice-wall. The weapon sank in there and Victor was slightly stunned.

"In that case, the ones that came with my update are true. Your ability has been awakened."

He raised his right hand again and removed his crescent-sword weapon from the ice-wall made by Grimm. It goes back to the owner again. After that, Victor quickly rushed to Grimm with his crescent-sword. It shielded his attack with its covered palms. But after that Victor rained around the knife. Grimm turned his body into ice and Victor was stunned. It backfires. Grimm doesn't fight him seriously so he doesn't take the fight seriously either.

"Leviathan ordered me to finish you-my creator. And your father asked him to take your head." Victor's voice was obvious in disgust.

He looked at Grimm again seriously. And after that, his crescent-sword was quickly used again but it was blocked by his friend's frozen fist. He continued to attack but Grimm simply avoided what he was doing. Victor couldn't stand it anymore.

"I-If you don't fight me, I will kill you! If you were just going to block, I would have a lot of chances to attack you!"

Orphen and Clemen sat in the corner. They are watching the battle closely.

"Amazing, it looks like we were just two when we fought in the arena before." laughed Orphen.

"Yeah."

Grimm was serious and stared at his friend's face. It obviously does not like what it does.

"I will fight you if you take it seriously." Grimm smiled.

Victor was slightly taken aback. Grimm's fists remained clenched in the blade of his weapon pointed at his body.

"You think, I'm not serious?!"

"Sure. You're the fastest demon in hell. So why are you so slow?"

Victor backed away. It tore off some strands of hair that covered its face.

"I'm just being careful not to scratch my beautiful face." its arrogant language.

"Liar!" the language is Grimm.

"I'm a devil so I'm a liar! Fight me!"

Victor started again. Grimm was slightly surprised to see his opponent disappear in front of him. It appeared on his side but he still resisted its attack.

"Fight back, heck!" Victor wants to provoke Grimm.

Grimm smiled at his friend in spite of everything.

"I do not want to. Why I’m going to fight you eh you are my friend. Aside from Kuya Gaunt, you are my only friend in hell. I consider you a brother even though you are feeling handsome too much. You are one of the ones I value and close to my heart. Even if you kill me, I will not regret it more than I can kill you. I do not want the loss of one of my best friends in my hands for the rest of my life."

Victor was stunned and backed away. Then he was puzzled and grabbed his cheek. Tears flowed from its eyes. He let go of the weapon he was holding and both hands were already holding it to his cheeks. It looked at Grimm.

"W-What tactic are you using on me?!" its language is still disgusting.

It simply wiped away the tears and wept.

"I'm doing nothing. I'm just saying you're my friend and if you have to kill me, go ahead." Grimm said.

Victor angrily pointed at Grimm.

"You really are a pest! You are a dumb ass! I can't, I don't want to!" suddenly it cuts.

Grimm laughed softly and walked slowly towards his friend.

"Me either, I can't hurt you. That's why I'm not fighting you."

Victor's shoulders shook.

"You're crazy..."

He looked at his friend who was smiling. He just waited for it to approach him but even before his friend could finally get close to him, a strong fire appeared in front of him. It is red-orange. There were small flashes of lightning around the fire.

"How dare you three times a day! You traitor!"

A very strong fire hit Victor's stomach. It flew away and rolled over. Grimm gasped and sweated profusely.

"Le-Leviathan." he swallowed.

The newly arrived creature looked at him.

"I am, rebellious creation."

But after that, it quickly disappeared and he saw that it hit Victor with powerful blows. It defended the enemy's attacks but violently dropped its crescent sword. Grimm couldn't stand it anymore, he quickly rushed to Leviathan to help Victor. He resisted its fiery flames. He let out a thick ice wall.

Leviathan was surprised when he lost his fire and Grimm appeared in front of him.

"Is it because Victor didn't follow you, that you can kill him?" disgusted Grimm's language.

A mischievous smile appeared on Leviathan's lips.

"That's right! That's all he does for me!"

It intensified the fire and gradually melted the ice-wall that Grimm had made. Before that could happen he quickly pulled Victor away. Leviathan was about to attack the two but a strong lightning struck him following a large chunk of ice. He looked at the perpetrators then.

"Exorcists! How dare you three times a day!" his angry language.

He attacked the two with his fire but they quickly escaped and he was suddenly surrounded by four pentagrams. They surround his whole body. Leviathan could not move because those pentagrams were full of holy-symbols. But a sharp look he threw at the two exorcists.

"Damn you exorcists! How dare you three times a day!"

After that, he turned to Grimm and Victor.

"And you two! Especially you, Victor! You also have a day with me, pest creatures! Your a mistake!"

After that, it enveloped itself in fire and gradually submerged itself underground.

"Tsk! Escape!" Clemen retorted.

But he breathed a sigh of relief. One of the Seven Princes of Hell appeared and he was not sure if they could fight it even if they worked together. Grimm turned to his friend Victor. It bleeds up to the face.

"G-Grimm..." his language was difficult.

It covers the stomach. Because that's where it was hit by strong blows.

"Are you okay? What hurts you?" he asked worriedly.

It stared at his face.

"I-Is my handsome face scratched?" he asked worriedly.

Instead of pitying, Grimm suddenly punched his friend.

"Ouch!..." it roared.

Grimm clenched his fist and move away from his friend. He might be able to accommodate it this time. The feeling is annoying!

"You crazy! I don't know about you!"

Victor laughed softly but he frowned as his stomach ached.

"You're the same, so we're friends..."

He forced himself to stand. But he fell. So all he did was crawl until he got close to Grimm's whereabouts with the exorcists. Orphen frowned as Grimm's demon friend crawled closer to him. Its bloody face raised its gaze.

"E-Exorcist... Do you need an assistant? A-Adopt me oh!"

Orphen's eyes widened at what he heard.

"Taaaah! G-Get away from me! You approach the priest there, not me!"

But Grimm's demon friend clung to his left leg.

"I-I don't like him! H-He is a priest, I will burn! I might even scratch my beautiful face. I will clean your house, I will cook. Slave me and all! Have mercy, I have nowhere to go!"

"DAMN IT!" Orphen shouted.

Clemen laughed and shook his head. So is Grimm. He is grateful because his friend did not change. He is still Victor, his best friend in hell.
