Level Up Legacy Chapter 1091 A Good Place

Chapter 1091 A Good Place

A little less than five hundred hunters surrounded them, following the commands of their leader. Luna felt the world spin around her, but in the dizziness coming from being slammed by the mask, she saw the familiar back that always protected her.

"Rami, is that you?" muttered Luna from behind the mask, her azure eyes filling with tears. "I abandoned you in Xeloria, but you came back to save me?"

"Your job is not to save me, but mine is to save you," said Ramiel as he turned toward her with sadness. "I just wish I had the strength to protect you from all suffering, but I am weak, Miss Luna."

"Don't say that about yourself," said the masked woman, whose tears fell despite the strong front she exhibited earlier, as she caressed his back. "My fate has already been sealed. I shall always be destined as an object of desire or sacrifice, especially by my family."

"That's the reason you can always create a new family," said Ramiel as he turned toward the incoming warriors. "Even if I pave that path with my own blood, I vow to make you take it!"

"Kill him as many times as it takes, but don't touch a hair from the maiden!" shouted Freud from behind the countless warriors, who all bounced on the half-demon.

Ramiel slapped the incoming sword from the first and punched his head, making it explode. His corpse did not turn to red particles because Ramiel had the ability to prevent their revival. The second warrior pierced with his spear, tearing through the corpse and straight toward the half-demon.

"Careful!" shouted Luna with concern, but the spear blended into his body as if it was mud. Ramiel grabbed the shaft and pulled its owner forward before kicking his chest, sending him flying.

Whoos.h.!.+

The fighters were relentless as they threw away their lives without any concern, but Ramiel turned out to be a real monster. His attacks were lethal and unforgiving, ending countless lives in one single spree.

"You useless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, kill him!" shouted Freud with rage as he watched his troops get ma.s.sacred like sheep. Every time Ramiel killed someone, he would turn toward Freud looking for a chance to kill him. This made fear appear on the hunter's face as he saw the blood-stained demon.

As their Chief took a step back in fear, his hunters began growing hesitant about throwing themselves into certain death. This gave Ramiel the chance to catch his breath as he stared at the hunters with killing intent.

"We will all be exterminated at this rate, Chief!" shouted a man from the sides, glancing at the hundred corpses of his comrades who tried to take down the demon but failed. "We should find a better plan!"

"You moron, the G.o.ddess will revive anyone who dies with infinite strength and vitality!" shouted Freud as he waved his hands. "Furthermore, anyone who drinks his blood will be bestowed the divine grace!"

Conviction returned to the hunters as greed and ambition appeared in their eyes. Since they had the advantage of numbers, they decided to form tears to slay the half-demon, who was h.e.l.lbent on protecting the Moon Offering.

lightsΝοvel.cοm "You cannot win against them, Rami!" said Luna as she grabbed his hand. "Unless their G.o.ddess is here, they cannot kill me. Please retreat and treat your wounds!"

"That wh.o.r.e is making some sense," said Freud while taking out his axes. "If you do not leave this place, then you will throw away this pathetic life of yours for a wh.o.r.e!"

"I will kill you!" shouted Ramiel with seething rage as he rushed toward him again. Out of nowhere, a spear tore through his shoulder and left from the other side, barely missing his heart. The demon staggered and fell backward, blood gus.h.i.+ng from his shoulder.

"As expected from a mindless demon," said Freud as he snickered, seemingly pleasured by Luna's screams as she hugged Ramiel. "You lose your mind once provoked. This is the reason that your race has disappeared from this world!"

"Please run away, please," said Luna with tears in her eyes. "This is the reason I didn't tell you when I escaped from my father. I knew that you would get hurt protecting me, just like that time in the garden."

"Please stay back, Miss Luna," said Ramiel as he grabbed his bleeding shoulder and mended it, covering his wound by his flesh to stop the bleeding. Although disfigured and useless now, he managed to save his life from imminent death. "I will… change… how this story ends…"

As he rose from the ground, Ramiel took out a leather book from his back pocket. The book was comical in his giant hands, but he opened it with great precision before he began to read.

"Have you finally realized that only prayer could save you?" asked Freud as he gestured for his hunters to surround him. "Nothing will change your fate, filthy demon! I will not have my ambitions once again hindered by tras.h.!.+"

"What are you reading, Rami?" asked Luna as she looked at him with teary eyes. "This is not the time for this, please. Run away as far as you can. Treat your wounds before it's too late. This is an order!"

"As written here, you would say this," said Ramiel with a smile as he turned toward her, patting her head. "You are just a brat, Miss Luna. Let me handle this as an adult."

Ramiel then handed her the blood-smeared book, letting her open the page he was reading. As she looked down to understand what he read to cause this calm demeanor. As he started walking toward the hunters, her eyes fell on the words:

["This is an order!" commanded his lady, using whatever chance she had to persuade him. However, the half-demon already knew that to save the person who treated him like a human, he had to become a true demon.]

As she read the two words, true demon, Luna raised her head to stare at his back once again. His broad shoulders, now disfigured, seemed to be inflating to act as her s.h.i.+eld. A strange fog leaked from his mouth while surrounded by four hundred hunters. Seeking to understand what the text meant, Luna resumed reading as fast as her eyes could see.

[Ramiel Pureheart was half-demon, half-human. However, his human side was far weaker than his demonic one. In order to remain as detached from his far as possible, he cherished his humanity like a treasure. The sad truth is that his humanity weakened him greatly, leading him to a life of mediocrity.]

As she read about how he cherished his humanity, tears began welling in her eyes, making it harder for her to see the words written in this book. Luna could feel that whatever came next was foreseeing the future, and she had no idea how to stop it.

[After reading the book given to him by the Bookkeeper Spirit, Ramiel learned of the method he could save the maiden. As long as he allows his demonic lineage to overtake his body, he would stand a chance against her enemies.]

"Ramiel, stop!" shouted Luna as she lowered the book and rushed toward him, but the half-demon stomped on the ground. Luna's feet sank into the softened ground before it hardened, stopping her from preventing him.

"In just a few moments, you will be free," said Ramiel without turning toward her. "It seems this is as far as I can take you, Miss Luna. I always said that I would never demand anything from you, even on my birthday, but… let me have this one final request. Please… do not look at me anymore. The thing that you are about to see… is not who I am. Please, look away from my ugliness."

Luna shouted, but no sound came out. Even the hunters rushed toward him, shouting with the desire to kill him, but their voices turned m.u.f.fled. A barrier appeared around the half-demon as he raised his hand, with fingernails as long as knives, he stabbed his heart.

Blood gushed out from his heart, both red and black. The black blood quickly overtook the red, tainting it with astonis.h.i.+ng speed. As the four hundred hunters rushed to take his head, while Luna kept screaming and trying to dig through the soil, Ramiel raised his head.

"This is a good place to die."

Although this was his end, Ramiel was satisfied because the book told him the truth. The book said all the words Miss Luna told him, and he was glad to be born. For the first time in his life, the half-demon cried in happiness. After spending thirty years as a miserable half-demon, he cried in happiness just before becoming a true one.

Boom!

Sound returned to the world as the sky shook. Luna shouted for him to stop one last time, but his human side has already disappeared. His body grew like an inflated balloon as his stony skin fell off like an empty husk.

Underneath the stone was a monster that Ramiel tried hard to conceal. His short horns grew and twisted like those of a goat. His new skin took a bronze color as veins lined his entire body. As for his face, it turned to that of a giant bull as he issued a heaven-shaking cry.
