Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 60 - Infernal



Emilia woke up from her sleep, extremely frightened and out of breath as if she just had a terrible nightmare.

She glanced around to see she was in the same room she slept in, then sighed in relief and placed her hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat as her hand trembled in fear.

She laid down on the bed and decided to look at Nero's face— only to find out Nero wasn't there. She immediately sat back up and glanced to her left and saw Sophia wasn't there either.

"Did they go to do the deed somewhere else so my sleep wouldn't be disturbed?" Emilia mumbled.

She suddenly felt intense thirst, as if all the fluid from her body had disappeared. Her body turned hot as though the blood in her body was burning lava.

She immediately got off the bed and grabbed the jug so she could drink the water— only to find it empty. She then looked down at the bucket and noticed it was also empty.

Feeling more thirsty, she dashed out of the room and headed downstairs. She had forgotten about Sophia and Nero, and the only thing in her mind was water.

When she reached downstairs, she noticed the reception was empty. She checked the kitchen to find some water, but she couldn't find a single drop of water.

There were always at least two to three people downstairs who Laira had hired to guard the inn, but Emilia couldn't see anyone.

Everything was silent, and Emilia's thirst grew more and more intense. She was feeling so thirsty that she was considering drinking her own blood to sate her thirst.

Emilia could distinctly hear her heartbeats as they grew louder and louder. Suddenly, the horizon rumbled— like an earthquake.

Emilia quickly rushed outside, thinking she would find Nero and Sophia out with Laira and others— but what she saw sent shivers down her spine.

Everything was on fire, and it was melting. The sky was red as though it was raining lava, and the meteors were falling down the sky as they destroyed everything. Emilia saw one of the meteors heading towards the inn. She ran as the surface rumbled— but she fell down.

The inn was shattered into pieces as it burned down. Everywhere she gazed, she saw fire and lava.

"What's happening?" Emilia wondered as she got up.

"I need to find Nero, Laira, and Sophia" Emilia dragged her broken leg with her to walk forward.

"What if... they left me…" Emilia shook her head and walked forward.

The horizon itself was erupting lava, and everything was melting down. The heat was so intense that it was burning Emilia's skin, but she didn't stop and kept looking for Nero and others.

"Nero!" she yelled.

Suddenly, the earth rumbled again, but this time— it was different. Instead of rumbling, it was shaking— as though someone was walking with heavy and big footsteps.

Emilia had forgotten her thirst, and she was now only thinking of Nero and others' safety.

The ground shook again, and that's when Emilia saw it.

A giant leg— made of nothing but magma— stepped in front of her at some distance as the ground shook with its impact.

Emilia looked up to see the entity, and her legs gave up as she fell down on her hips.

Emilia couldn't see its whole body even though she was gazing up at the sky, and she couldn't even see half of its body.

It was crossing miles and brought destruction with just one step forward. It kept walking and walking as Emilia watched it destroy the world.

It was hell.

It reached a distance where Emilia could see its entire body— which was made from flame and lava. Its two glowing eyes were crying lava, and its head hand horns coming out from it— as though it was wearing a crown.

Its two cramped wings extend themselves fully— jagged bones and feathers of fire stretched upward before coming down again with force— as it dripped lava.

"Hell infernal?" Emilia's lips moved on their own— as if they knew what that entity was.

Emilia covered her lips, but it was too late. When she looked back at the internal, it was looking back at Emilia with its abyssal glare.

It started walking towards Emilia as multiple voices echoed from it. "I…"

It had multiple voices with different tones and different pitches. "I create nothing, but destroy all."

Emilia's eyes winded as she heard that. "No… way…" Her lips trembled.

"I give no life, but take all."

Emilia tried to get up as she crawled on her back.

"I am ready to die and kill all."

Emilia looked back at the infernal as her eyes reflected the fire. The infernal raised its hand, and an enormous flaming sword appeared in its hand.

"God slayer… Surtr?" Emilia's lips moved on their own again.

"Brace yourself for me because I…" It raised the sword in the sky and swung down at Emilia, "... am despair and true destroyer."

Emilia watched as the sword melted her body before it could even reach her.

Emilia woke up from her sleep, extremely frightened and out of breath as if she just had a terrible nightmare.

She glanced around to see she was in the same room she slept in, then sighed in relief and placed her hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat as her hand trembled in fear.

Her eyes widened as though she felt like deja vu. She slowly jerked her head to the side and glanced back in fear.

"What's wrong?" Nero asked as he placed his hand on Emilia's shoulder.

Emilia quickly turned to Nero and hugged him. Nero was confused but didn't stop Emilia when he noticed her body was trembling.

Nero rubbed his hand on Emilia's back and asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong? Are you horny?"

Emilia looked at Nero and shook her head.

"Do you want to drink my blood?" he asked.

Emilia didn't say anything and shook her head again and again. 'Did she have a dream about her past?' Nero wondered.

Nero kissed Emilia's trembling lips and continued kissing her until she calmed down. Emilia then hugged Nero and eventually fell asleep in his arms.

Nero laid Emilia on the bed and sniffed the air. "What is this smell?" He glanced around as he uttered, "Something is burning?"

He got off the bed and checked the room properly as he kept sniffing to look for the source of the smell.

He sniffed Emilia and Sophia, then looked outside the window but couldn't see any fire.

He then stopped and sniffed himself, "It's coming from me?"
