World End: The Successor’s Contract

Chapter 70 Absorb The Demon ... Please

Shuna was standing at the sidelines, watching as Rachel teasingly revealed the past to Zeno.

She was so quiet that everyone forgot she was even there, but she had her one reason for doing that.

"He still looks exactly the same." Shuna uttered, staring at Zeno with a smile on her face.

She then hugged her stuff as she looked to the ground with a gloomy face, "But.. it's still going to play out the same way, isn't it?" She muttered.

Swash! swqash!

Shuna suddenly heard a sound coming from the corner of a boulder beside her, she walked over there out of curiosity to check what could be making that sound.

Walking over there, Shuna's eyes widened in shock when she noticed that Beelzebub's flesh was gathering together.

"Guys! We have a problem!" Shuna shouted, drawing the attention of Zeno, Rachel, and Uta.

Zeno looked at her with an unmotivated look on his face, he had just learnt so many new things that he was finding it hard to suppress.

Looking at Shuna, he asked, "Who are you?".

Shuna jumped down from the rock she was standing on, and sped walked toward Zeno, "This is not the time to ask this, the demon is about to respawn." She reported.

"Uhn.. its body was blown to pieces wasn't it?" Zeno asked, "Unless you are trying to say they are somehow immortal?".

"Not exactly, uhm... they-"

"You can't wipe out evil, it's just not possible." Rachel interrupted Shuna.

Zeno faced Rachel, "What do you mean by that?" He asked.

Rachel focused on the demon organ she was holding and observed how it was trying to move away from her hand and move to the pile of flesh gathering at a point.

"We need good and evil for balance in the world, the demons are an embodiment of evil, they can't be wiped out as long as evil still exists in this world." Rachel explained.

"That doesn't exactly help our situation.." Zeno looked at where the flesh was gathering and bit his lips in frustration, "I hate being in the dark all the time." He muttered.

"There's a way we can defeat them without killing them." Shuna added. "500 years ago, that was the time of your second reincarnation, we tried sealing the demons in a special orb known as the Eye of seer, but they were still able to escape,"

"When a demon of sin is killed, they can just reconstruct themselves, but when a special rank, higher demon is killed by a supreme being or by another higher Demon they reincarnate.. and we never foresaw this." Shuna uttered, looking to the ground before she grabbed Zeno's arm.

"But we have another way, if we let you Devour the demons into your very soul, they can be sealed in you since you'll be reincarnated and they'll never get the chance to kill themselves if they don't meet." She uttered with a bit of excitement.

Zeno was nervous from the way she was acting, "Uhm.. I understand you but there's just one problem about this, how do I even devour a demon?" He asked.

"Oh that's easy, All you have to do is wield Uta and she'll handle the rest." Shuna uttered, switching her focus to Uta.

Uta was standing behind Zeno, with a sad look on her face as she kept on looking at the ground and rubbing her arm.

"Uta? Are you Alright?" Shuna asked.

Uta turned away a bit more again, looking to the ground to avoid making any eye contact.

With a sigh, Zeno focused in front of him and uttered, "If you're worried I'm going to hate you because of what you did to your double then you're stupid and stupid.. even more stupid than the stupidest human on earth.

I could never bring myself to hate you.. so don't worry about that and just go back to-".

"Awwwwww~ I love you, Zeno!" Uta shouted with an excited smile on her face as she hugged his face tight.

Zeno gave out a nervous chuckle, "Okay..that's enough Uta, you're crushing me!".

Rachel was watching the whole thing while sitting on the rock, her jealousy was building up but she didn't show it.

Instead, she transferred the anger to the rock she was sitting on, and with one punch the boulder crushed into pieces.

Zeno and Uta both paused to see Rachel with a warm smile on her face and her fist brimming with magic energy.

Rachel drew her fist down and began dusting the dirt from it, "Nice family reunion, but you guys might want to take care of that before it becomes a problem." She uttered, pointing at Beelzebub's growing body.

As soon as Shuna saw it, she shivered and hid behind Zeno, "Successor.. I think it's time for you to devour it." She muttered.

"What?! I just told you I don't know how to." Zeno responded.

"Don't worry I'll help you, just let me take the lead." Uta uttered with a warm smile, she was so lively that Shuna was confused if she was the fake.

Zeno agreed, he wielded Uta as soon as she transformed into a weapon and walked slowly toward Beelzebub's body.

Beelzebub had only his mouth up to his nose reconstructed, the rest of his body was a no-show since his flesh was moving at a very slow pace.

"Humans hate Humans... you...lucky I don't have my full power back..." The mouth spoke.

Standing in front of Beelzebub, Zeno whispered to Uta, "Okay, anytime now,".

A blue magic oval-shaped energy appeared at the tip of the blade, the inside of the oval had a red cube that was rotating with an increasing speed.historical

Not long after, the blue magic oval opened up and began to suck in all of Beelzebub's flesh with an amazing pull of wind.

As soon as they entered the Oval, Zeno felt a sharp shock in his chest that caused his eyes to glow.

He screamed in pain as a dark mist began entering his chest the more Uta was sucking in the parts of Beelzebub.

Once she was done, Zeno dropped to his knees and began coughing, "W..what the hell was that?" He questioned.

"Ahhhh!" Shuna screams excitedly, "You did it Successor!".

She ran to him with her arms open to hug him, but she ended up receiving a boot to the face from Uta.

"Keep your arms to yourself." Uta voiced.

Zeno was still on the ground but with a worried look on his face while he muttered, "They're dead.. they're all dead,".
