1 1 The Last Mission (1)

" Kill me." A raspy voice said.

A silhouette then appear next to the tree the creature was staring at. It slowly came close to the creature, and kneel down.

The creature could now see the figure's face, a pair of cat-like eyes could be seen staring back at him in disdain.

" Sternhorn, do you know a demon named Grite Lowcut?"

" Why should I tell you-" When he utter those words, his visions was suddenly black and he felt pain in his left side.

The figure in front of him towards the tree that he had previously stared at.

HOW? How can a mere human do that? Even if their body enhances rapidly as the magic gets stronger, its still impossible to throw him so carelessly like that.

Sternhorn struggled to sit up but was once again knocked down the second he manage to get up. After doing it twice, he quit and looked up at the figure and finally noticed that the figure bare a resemblance of females.

" If you want to die in one piece, then answer my question. Do you know a demon named Grite Lowcut?"

" You lowly human, how dar-" Before he finish the sentence, a powerful force landed on his cheek keeping him unable to move is head.

" ANSWER ME!"

Too scared to disobey, he whimpered out.

" He was my fellow friend."

" Were you involved in the massacre in year 689?"

" Y...you, how did you know? It was suppose to b..."

Another kick was landed to his already disastrous body causing him to spit out black blood.

" Look at you, being under a human. Are you feeling ashamed?"

This comment made the Sternhorn unable to speak. It was indeed a shameful position since demons are always arrogant and narrow-minded.

" You ask how I knew? it's because I was there, silly. I was there when you killed my parents inside of our own home."

" ... No way, you were that little weakli..."

" I was a weakling you mean. Do you know how much hatred I held when you were standing there enjoying the slaughter. During those minutes, I wanted to run out and kill you but I knew it's impossible. My parents sacrificed themselves so I could survive so you know what I did? I spent those final moments together with them to remember every single detail of your faces so I can kill you when I get stronger."

" It wasn't me, it wasn't me. I was forced into it, I didn't mean to ill you..."

The figure then kicked Sternhorn again making him coughed up more blood.

" SHUT UP! You think I will believe that, even though it's been almost 300 years, I could never forget that moment. Because of you, my parents died! BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR DAMN RACE THAT MY LIFE WAS RUINED!"

Sternhorn then realized what those words meant. HE WAS GOING TO DIE!

He then gathered all of his strength and tried to stand up and run but unfortunately was push against the wall and was held by spiky vines that pierce through his skin. He hiss when the vines digs into his flesh and could only watch the preparation of his own slaughter.

The figure was now walking around the area quietly humming a tune as she looks for a a herbs.

" Tell me, Sternhorn. Are you allow to enter and exit the Demon Realm freely?"

" No we need permission from the demon lord to travel through the realms."

" You look somewhat dignified, so I'm assuming that you're a aristocrat. Were you allow to go to other realms and cause troubles without permissions?"

Hearing her words, an invisible tick mark appeared on his sweating face.

Somewhat dignify? He was a high ranking officer in the past!

" I used to be a high ranking in the Demon Realm but got fired when the new Demon Emperor when he was throned. His first degree was to replace half of the court because half of court was involved in the massacre that year."

" You got FIRED! That's funny coming from a demon like yourself but it also reveals that you did it without permission. That's good I guess, I don't have to destroy the whole realm."

What did she just say? Was she crazy or just plain stupid.

" Since you now have no use for me, let's dispose you."

NOOO! He thought that he had distracted the girl and was able to live a bit longer but he was too foolish.

" You're surprisingly stupid for a demon, aren't you. Especially one of the executives that was leading the massacre. You think you can make me forget about killing you if you distract me!"

The girl then wave her hand and a beautiful sword appeared in her hand. The sword was simply beautiful. It was black with intricate gold lines, the carved handle looks like wings and was imbedded with a red gem in the middle. About 5 centimetres from the handle, the beginning of the sword has a crescent moon-shaped red gem. At the end of the handle, there was beautiful golden strands that was braided to hold another purple stone.

IMPOSSIBLE!!! She... can't possibly be the owner of the Moon Shadowing Sword. Wasn't the owner of the sword Silver Wolf?

Wait... the girl can't be Silver Wolf, right?

Seeing Sternhorn's surprise face, the girl smiles. Looks like he found out.

" Guessing by your surprise face, you finally figured out my status. If you still want proof then this will helped you."

She then took out an object from her cloak and threw it towards the tree. The vines then caught it and brought it up to Sternhorn's face to let him see.

The object was made from gold and has a symbol carved into it.

The symbol was made up of 3 swords crossing each other diagonally. Below the swords, there was a ring full of various elements. This is the symbol of the strongest demon hunting guild in the whole continent and possibly most of the Earth Realm.

" That's the Siles Blood symbol. You truly are the Silver Wolf."

" Glad that you acknowledged me but that also makes my need to kill you much higher so let's end this."

" WAIT... don't kill me, I know your soulmate!"

" What soulmate, you mean the one that's my supposedly other half and my significant other? Even if you do, so what? In this lifetime, I don't need a soulmate. Even if we are destined, I will choose and alter my own fate."

This made him speechless. Wasn't having a soulmate significant? Why is this stinky girl so unique?

" Fine, just end me."

" Finally, you have been talking way too much even though you encouraged me to kill you earlier."

What? You forced me to have a conversation with you but you now blame me?

The girl then started to unsheathe her sword and pointed it at Sternhorn.

" You know, you are the first one that needed me to use magic so congratulations. I will end this the most PAINFUL WAY YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE!."

Sternhorn was then released from the tree causing him to fall on his knees. He then looked at the girl and turned frozen.

The bloodlust in her eyes and her sadistic smile scared him making him unable to tear his gaze away from her eyes.

She then slowly walk towards Sternhorn, with each step she threw a dagger towards him that she previously taken out of her space.

She was about 100 meters away from Sternhorn so by the 50th step, his body was filled with daggers. He was also unable to scream because of the torment, he desperately wanted to die but that girl wouldn't let him go.

When his body collapsed the vines that previously held him once again holds his body.

Whenever he was about to faint because of the pain, he would feel his body slowly recover and once again got stab by daggers continuously. The process gets repeated until Silver Wolf was finally in front of him.

He slowly opens his eyes to see her silver hair, and purple eyes. He now noticed that she was incredibly beautiful but that was the least important thing running through his mind.

" In this life the only thing that I regret is that massacre. At least, without being involved in it, I wouldn't have this kind of ending." with that he begin to laugh hysterically.

Silver stared at the man in front of her emotionlessly.

" I'm glad that you regretted that but it's too late. Let's finally end this."

With this she hold her sword high and swings it towards Sternhorn.

SLASH!

Blood then splattered on her cloak and face but it didn't matter to her.

After a moment, Sternhorn's body started to dissipate into black dust and slowly disappear.

Silver Wolf however remained in the same spot for a little longer.

After a while, she slowly collected her daggers that was laying on the ground and dissipated the vines.

She then turned her back and started walking the other way, her face still remained emotionless.
