72. The Rescue II

"Auntie, I'll go out first. I forgot to take out the handkerchief I washed." Rusty said to her aunt.

"Oh go ahead. But don't hang out there. It's late and I'm about to serve our dinner." her Aunt reminded.

"Okay!"

She immediately went out and went straight to the hanger. She took the handkerchief.

"Rusty..."

She was stunned when she heard that voice. She looked in the direction where the voice was coming from and she saw Gaunt, standing outside the yard. It looked at her intently. She could not speak immediately because she was surprised by its sudden appearance. But when she recovered from the shock...

"Leave. Get away from me." she pushed the man away.

She simply grabbed the necklace she was wearing. Its magic is stronger than the previous one. It shines bright red. Gaunt looked at the necklace she was wearing and then turned his gaze back to her face.

"Don't tell me to stay away from you. I can't do that..." he pleaded.

"I don't want any more trouble, Gaunt. That's enough."

"I didn't come here for trouble. I just want to see you."

"Stop me. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not Kristine? I look like she maybe, but I'm a different person. I'm Rusty..." she said emphatically.

Gaunt took a deep breath and gasped.

"I already understand that thing and I don't want to insist anymore. Even so, I still dare if there is hope."

Rusty smiled and could not speak. She did not know what to say.

"You are kind Gaunt. You can find someone else." she said as she recovered.

"But you are what I want, nothing else."

"You're just blinded by what you see on my face because I look like the woman you loved before. So you thought, you love me too. You're making a mistake. Think carefully, Gaunt... You're fooling yourself in what you do."

Tears rolled down Gaunt's eyes. He was struck by what Rusty said. In every word... He looked up at the sky to prevent them from falling.

"You hit me, Rusty."

"I'm sorry. But that's what I think is true."

Gaunt laughed softly. Straightforward and not afraid to say any opinion. Kristine is like that... He fell even more in love with Rusty.

"Maybe you hit me to the core but I still want you. I'm willing to wait for you until the end of time. Bye for now... And it's good to see you."

Gaunt simply waved at the girl and then slowly backed away into the darkness. Gradually the young man disappeared from Rusty's sight. His really sweet and romantic... But she is not hit by the thrill. That was the problem, she felt no attraction to Gaunt.

"That guy is really weird."

She walked back to the house and found her Aunt at the door. She was surprised, it looked like it had been there before.

"Who is that?"

"Ahm... Aunt Alice..."

"Is he the demon?"

"Eeeer... He is." she swallowed as she answered.

She already knew about Gaunt because her Dad and uncle Clemen had already told her so.

"You know Rusty... He's too romantic for a demon. I heard everything. He is willing to wait for you until the end of time. Aww... That was really sweet. It’s just numb not to be hit by those words or else, someone else wants..."

"Auntie..." she said shyly.

"Don't be unfair. I opened up to you. You already know who I want. You? Grimm?"

"Tsk!"

She stared at it and passed. She did not answer it.

"You're caught! It's Grimm!"

Meanwhile... John is completely out of his chains. His teacher dismantled it. He looked at him with puzzled hands. The lightness he felt because the heavy chains that had bound him for so long had disappeared.

"John, are you ready to be free again?" Edward asked.

The young man looked at his teacher. A frugal and meaningful smile flashed across his lips. He nodded softly. The longer he waited for this opportunity, the more he would be free. He was long trapped in a dark world of darkness. He doesn't know if anyone is still waiting for him outside and if he still has something to come back... But come what may!

He walked ahead and his teacher Edward just followed him. He heard large orcs coming. He signaled to his teacher to stop any action. It stayed in place and prepared. They hide both on the side of the wall. They could clearly see the approaching shadow of the opponents. When they finally got to where they were, John immediately rushed... He removed the scarf he was wearing around his neck. That became a sharp weapon. It waved it at the opponents and split their bodies into several pieces. What it did was very quiet. Edward looked at his student in amazement. The size of what he had strengthened because of his demon status. He looked closely at the scarf he was holding which he used to kill the opposing orcs. That was the scarf that Alice made for John... It looks like that is why it is not lost in the right mind.

It had something to remind so that it would not forget its true identity. John put the scarf on his neck again. He then snatched a paintbrush from his pants pocket. It wiped the paintbrush on the scattered blood of the orcs on the floor... The bloods there are gradually disappearing. The paintbrush absorbs that. Edward did not know if he would be impressed and afraid of what he could see in his student. When the blood was completely drenched on the floor, John stood up. It did not return the paintbrush it was holding in its pocket. It looked at its teacher. It felt okay. Edward approached here and they continued walking away. They turn into a hallway and FGH!...

A large black cloth almost hit John on the cheek. He looked at the perpetrator then and he saw a beautiful woman with only a veil over her body. Its skin color is purple, its lip color is black and its eyes are grey. It looks lifeless even though it is beautiful. Her dark and long hair was wavy beyond her ass.

"How are you, John? You are now free. It's bad..." the woman said.

John remained staring at the woman. He poured his paintbrush into the air. He signed his teacher not to act and he would take care of everything. He indicates he can handle the opponent. Edward just followed John's wishes.

"I will not let you escape here in my territory..." the woman said emphatically.

It rushed first. It released a lot of black cloth on its body. The ends of them are sharp. It all goes to where the two men are. John quickly waved his paintbrush in the air. In an instant, a drawing of giant scissors was formed in the air. It came to life and quickly cut off the black cloths. The woman was stunned by what John did, she was surprised...

"You're cool!" Edward could not help but comment on his student.

John smiled at his teacher. After that, he took the giant scissors. He quickly attacked the opponent. She was shocked by his attack, yet she was able to counter that. It pulled out a black cloth and made it a sword.

"Y-You're not just a King Paimon’s toy ... You also have the ability!" shocked its language.

It moved away from John and released a lot of clothes again... But as before, John just cut it all off.

The woman was startled and walked away. But after that, it changed form. Its body turned into a spider but half remained human. It crawled up the wall and spewed out acid. John quickly backed away. The stench smelled around. The opponent regained his strength and was about to throw acid again but John quickly drew in the air, a large masking tape appeared and he immediately put it in the opponent's mouth. As a result, it swallows its own acid and burns the inside of the monster's body... It fell from the wall. Edward laughed at the scene he saw. They continued walking and looked for a way out.

Meanwhile... King Paimon frowned as he looked at Lucifer's face. He did not know why it suddenly appeared to him.

"What do you need from me, Master?" he asked politely.

His master smiled sparingly at him.

"Nothing. I just hope that I will see Belphegor's rebellious son here. It is rumoured that he has sided with the other side, you kidnapped an exorcist, you made him bait for Grimm... Do you know I feel his aura approaching us here? I want to see you execute him. And as such, I have something good to tell Belphegor when I return to hell, at the same time I will give his son’s head. That's why, Paimon... Don't let me down."

Paimon looked proudly at his Master. He smiled and shook slightly.

"You can count on it. You feel right, Master. According to an update by one of my staff, Grimm is already coming here with the exorcists. Another update... Saaaz is now against another traitor... Victor. Saaaz will surely crush that futility without difficulty."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow.

"Ah, Victor? As I say... I didn't like that one from the beginning. I doubted his personality since I saw that he was close to Grimm. How dare them three times a day... Make everyone bleed not only for them but also for the exorcists they are with."

"Bloody... I want bloody, master." Paimon's complacent language.

A demon bat flew towards them. It flew in front of King Paimon.

"Ek! Ek!"

King Paimon's eyes widened and he clenched his fists. The demon bat has left.

"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly look ugly?" Lucifer asked with a laugh.

Disgusted, King Paimon looked at his companion.

"Edward and my slave John are gone... How dare them three times a day!" he said angrily.

"In that case, let's take care of that little problem. We'd better have an undercard fight before we go to the main event."

"All right, I like what you thought, Master..."

"Good."

King Paimon turned to the witch Vinda who is standing at the side of the door.

"Vinda, while Master Lucifer and I are busy... You will take care of our upcoming guests first. Make sure you have fun with them."

The woman smiled. She simply looked outside and with her power, she sharpened her eyes. She saw the approaching group of men. Leading the group is a red-haired young man riding a large demon dog...

"Oh... I will make sure that those men have a lot of fun." she bit her lip so hard.

She laughed softly. She looked outside again. One of the men coming soon caught her attention.

"Even me, will definitely going to have fun." She lick her lips.

Meanwhile... Victor successively avoided Saaaz's powerful kicks. A large part of the land on which they were standing was crushed.

"What, arrogant Victor? Are you just avoiding?" smiling Saaaz said.

He even pointed his big fists at Victor. The latter shook at his opponent and smiled.

"Don't worry, ugly... I'm just warming up."

"What did you say?!" Saaaz said annoyed.

"I said, ugly!"

"Is that so!"

Saaaz quickly punched hard but Victor quickly disappeared from his position.
