NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14: Please Go to Hell
In the sky, a massive monster slowly condensed, and suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed.
"ROAR—!"
The sound transformed into a shockwave, causing visible ripples in the void. Several dark clouds in the sky were swept away in an instant.
A Void Demon!
After more than a year, it had reappeared!
A fierce wind roared like blades, blowing sand and rocks across the ground.
However, there seemed to be an invisible shield around Haruto, blocking everything.
A sharp, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Haruto.
A red light suddenly flickered.
In the next moment, the ruins of the entire city split in half, and flames shot up into the sky, painting the dead sky red.
This was a Void Demon, possessing the power to destroy a city with a single attack.
Humans were so fragile and insignificant before it.
Haruto stepped into the void, raised his hand, and blocked the Void Demon's attack. But beneath him was a bottomless red abyss, where magma flowed slowly, and waves of heat surged into the sky.
"It's been more than a year, and now you're dying."
Haruto stepped forward into the void, and the sword in his hand burned with white flames.
More than a year ago, he tried everything he could but couldn't save anything.
According to news reports, hundreds of people in Ichinose were missing.
But only he knew that the people of Ichinose hadn't gone missing at all—they were dead in the Oddity.
The Void Demon had the ability to forcibly break through worlds, so at that time, even he couldn't react at all.
Mafuyu accompanied him to Chiba City. In reality, just like him, she wanted to flee there!
*BOOM*
The air exploded, and an arm as thick as a building suddenly fell toward Haruto.
The distant figure of the Void Demon in the sky had disappeared.
*BOOM*
A loud noise echoed, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky.
The destroyed city under the blood moon collapsed instantly, and the ground seemed plowed over. Everything vanished, leaving only a massive crater. Shadows covered the sky, and Haruto stood in the void, unmoving like a stone.
He raised his left hand and blocked the Void Demon's attack.
Even though his figure wasn't larger than a finger in front of the Void Demon, he blocked it.
In the past year, he had made significant progress.
As long as he was serious, even the Void Demon was no longer a threat to him.
*WHOOSH*
Haruto swung his sword, and the world was immediately engulfed in blinding light. At that moment, the entire world changed from night to day.
Even the blood moon in the sky lost its glow.
The Void Demon had a body like a demon, and with modern human technology, it was essentially impossible to pose a threat to it.
Except for powerful missiles, even nuclear bombs.
However, under this slash, black and red rain began falling from the sky.
It was the blood of the Void Demon.
The Void Demon roared, its arm and body severed, and its enormous body hollowed out.
Suddenly, Haruto's pupils slightly contracted.
In the void, a stunningly beautiful girl suddenly appeared. She looked at Haruto with a smile on her face and waved her hand: "Kuromori-kun, we agreed to go to the library to study together today. Don't forget."
Next to her, a short girl with glasses and an expressionless face appeared.
She tilted her head and asked, "Kuromori-kun, do you want some udon?"
A girl with a single ponytail wearing a white lab coat placed her hands on her hips and stared sharply: "Hah! What are you looking at? I'm not giving Rizu to you!"
"Kouhai-kun, it's okay..."
"Kuromori-kun, do you want to go swimming?"
"Kuromori-kun..."
"Kuromori-kun..."
Figures appeared one by one in the sky. They looked at Haruto, greeted him, and talked to each other.
Haruto was dazed: "Everyone…"
"Kuromori-kun, don't forget our promise."
"I won't forget."
"Kuromori-kun, you can't leave me, and I want it too."
"NO."
"Hmph!"
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for my hair."
"Oh, Kouhai-kun, you're quite charming. You're just a cricket."
"I'm not."
"..."
Voices echoed one after another, and Haruto responded line by line, as if he had returned to the past.
Finally—
The atmosphere grew quiet.
He lifted his head and looked at the Void Demon, a bright smile on his face: "Thank you for letting me see them again, so... please go to hell!"
*BOOM*
Light suddenly enveloped the world, and the Void Demon roared, but it was useless. The massive body continued to be annihilated under the terrifying force.
The Void Demon disappeared.
Under the blood moon.
Haruto's emotions quickly calmed.
Time is the best healer, whether acknowledged or not.
Soon, he found Yotsuba, who was sound asleep.
The girl curled up slightly on her side, as if she felt very insecure.
"She's even drooling, saying girls just go to the restroom to fix their makeup, never snore while sleeping, and definitely don't drool…"
"I don't understand her mentality."
"Maybe… a pervert?"
Haruto sat down next to her and touched his stomach. The first thing he felt was extreme hunger. After all, he had just fought the Void Demon.
So, the result was actually pretty good.
"Hmm~"
Yotsuba opened her eyes, sat up sleepily, and then unconsciously stretched. As a result, the shirt on her chest stretched tight. In the next moment, the shirt made a sound of its own.
Haruto instinctively reached out to catch the flying object, examined it carefully, and then gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.
It was actually a button! How strong was Yotsuba to pop off her shirt button?
