05. The Destroying Devil, The Black Bat

Kyeo speed up his run. No matter what he could do, he had to run to save his precious life.

The people who were now chasing him wanted to arrest and punish him for the crimes that had passed so far. They will put it back where it came from, to the World of the Dead, where sinners must return and be silent.

Kyeo doesn't want that to happen, he prefers it here. The world he lives in is a real paradise.

Kyeo is lucky enough to be in the human world. The place where he is free to commit massacres and teach the people a lesson. Luckily for a devil like him, a lot of stupid humans summoned him to their world, but in the end, the demon would kill them all.

No one can deny the cunning possessed by a demonic figure, even though they have declared that they will submit to the summoner's orders, but in fact the opposite is true. Death is what they will get before they even have time to reach their destination.

He is Kyeo, a demon that can be underestimated, and just responds.

Kyeo is a demon who deeply identifies mankind. To him, humans were lowly beings whose lives were worth no more than the gift of the demon's hair that fell to the ground. The devil has killed 999 weak humans from various parts of the world, and made them his delicious food.

When he was ready to kill his 1000th victim, Kyeo met the human.

Human female is identical to female priest in Shinto religion, a miko or shrine guard girl. Creatures that looked weak, they would not be able to kill even a cat. However, in reality ... the miko managed to injure Kyeo to the point where the devil could no longer fight him.

Kyeo growled in anger, the demon was eager to kill and eat the miko, but the situation now is very unlikely. He was seriously injured.

Kyeo then cursed wildly. Obviously, it wasn't his style to shy away from humans, usually one that would hunt them all down. However, now he couldn't even fight back.

Kyeo realized that his condition, which was seriously injured, did not allow him to defeat the miko, he preferred to run away as far as possible from there and find a safe hiding place.

When Kyeo was focusing on one tree to another in order to avoid being chased, suddenly from the front appeared various kinds of sharp weapons that pointed in the direction.

Suddenly, the demon dodged immediately. The devil's arrogant attitude appeared when he dodged it and is now facing those who dare to chase him. It turned out that only a bunch of weak humans.

"Hee ...." Kyeo muttered when he saw the small number of opponents that could not be said. If Kyeo is in good health, maybe the creatures in the field have turned to ashes. "Turns out you guys were my movements earlier?"

"Kyeo, you are accused of murder and massacre of residents in this country. You are now a suspect," said one of the masked soldiers to the devil. "Please, surrender yourself kindly."

"Tsk!" The devil chuckled irritably. Her eyes were wide open to the person standing in the front row. He was not afraid or afraid or afraid at all. Even though he was currently injured, his view of humans would never change.

"You think I'll just give myself up to all of you?" he asked, lifting his chin. He is indeed arrogant, there isn't a devil in this world who doesn't have pride in him.

The ten people dressed in black looked displeased with the devil's words, Kyeo grinned as he pointed at them one by one.

"Hm, you very worthy humans." The sharp-nosed devil with his charming human face then snorted with amusement. Laughing at something that is not known if there is something wrong.

Not getting a response from humans in training, made the devil look down on those who tried to catch him. His unclothed body revealed prayerful biceps and abdominal muscles. Yes, the devil never wears clothes, they are completely naked.

"DON'T THINK I WANT IT, HUMAN!" Kyeo shouted loudly, after a while he laughed loudly, causing a fire of anger in the hearts of the humans who were hunting. "I can't possibly want to come with you guys! You are idiot!"

The demon's attention was only focused on the few people standing here, not focusing on the surroundings. A priestess who was chasing Kyeo had broken the hand seal behind the white demon.

"DAMN!" Insulting Kyeo realized after himself in danger. Before the devil had time to evade, the miko had read the spell.

"Akuma no shirushi!"

Then suddenly, a large black hole appeared which instantly trapped him. Kyeo was caught by the spell that the miko had previously pronounced.

Kyeo squealed over and over again.

Before he could avoid it, he was already swallowed up into the light that slowly began to enter the devil, and trapped him in a cage that gave off a very strange energy. The demon continued to struggle and struggled in the golden cage made by the miko. However, his efforts were only more protective of those capable of absorbing demonic energy.

The shrine maiden knew the point of weakness of the devils, they all couldn't stand the pure energy. Spiritual power is able to defeat them, but it depends on the type of demon itself.

The red-hooded miko with a flat face who had succeeded in trapping Kyeo into the spell taught by her mother, slowly drew closer to the bat demon. "Bring Kyeo, the bat demon before the ruler," she said quickly.

"Yes, Miss!" replied the guards with alacrity.

They all then disappeared in an instant, heading to a place where Kyeo would be at an indefinite time limit, while carrying the demon imprisoned like a bird in a cage.

Unnoticed by them, the devil's dark gaze fixed on only one person, at a woman who covered herself in a milky white robe.

A holy miko who has a birthmark of two red dots on his forehead. The devil who had lost a wing because of that girl, growled in rage. He will never forgive that woman and her offspring!

"I'll kill you, bastard!"

Kyeo promise to this.

***

Emperor Tachibana stared at the golden cage that was shaped like a bird cage with a sharp gaze. That place is the place where Kyeo, a troubling demon, is locked up for a time, until the devil is taken to his real prison.

    The cage was filled with a magical aura, mixed with a great spiritual aura. The devil can't penetrate it, especially with Kyeo's weakened strength.

The decision to imprison the bat demon has not yet been discussed by all of them, but for the time being, Kyeo will be left alone to remain in that golden cage. Of course, under very tight supervision by the palace guards who were deliberately ordered by the ruler of the country.

The demon who had the true form of a giant bat seemed to be daydreaming as he looked at Emperor Tachibana with a sharp glare. The yellow pupil didn't take his eyes off the ruler at all. It was as if the ruler was an object he was deliberately targeting.

"Let me go!" he commanded half shouting, but no one was willing to fulfill his order.

The devil growled in annoyance. Her face flushed with anger. "HEY, YOU!" exclaimed Kyeo while pointing at the emperor. "Get off me, you bastard!" he exclaimed angrily, still having time to curse the humans in front of him.

Even though he is in a cage that is very difficult to penetrate, but not the slightest devil is afraid of humans. For him, humans are still humans. A creature so weak and priceless in his eyes.

Emperor Tachibana could only shake with concern when he heard the demon's dirty long-haired voice.

Kyeo's human form does look like a god, but in fact he is a demon slaying and a true destroyer whose name is so famous everywhere. Do not occasionally fall into the charm of a demon from among the nobles, because trapped, it is very difficult to escape the grip of his charm.

However, the women's order doesn't really care about that, Kyeo thought. Even so, Kyeo also doesn't care about them.

"Where is the shrine maiden who caught this killer monster?" Emperor Tachibana asked his entourage of soldiers.

Hearing an old, dying man call himself a monster made Kyeo furious. If only he had been outside the prison of pure energy made by the miko, maybe that old man with a long robe would have died. The devil was really anxious to kill him.

One of the emperor's men then approached and pointed at a girl wearing a white kimono. "He is there, Your Majesty," he said politely.

The emperor nodded slowly. "Call the girl to face me immediately, right now," he said, looking at the girl who had saved his country. Himiko could only smile sweetly when she was looked at by someone so exalted in that country.

Not long after, a soldier in a dark red armor approached the girl Akibara, then led her to the presence of the Emperor Tachibana.

"Yours truly, Your Majesty the Emperor." The unknown girl lowered her body in front of Emperor Tachibana, who was smiling wisely. How polite this girl is, said the old emperor silently.

The emperor then turned around, and looked back at the bat demon who was in the cage. Now he knew where a suitable place to lock up the angel-faced demon.

"Take Kyeo, the bat demon to a place where no ordinary human can approach him," said the Emperor. "Kyeo, we hereby declare that you will be punished, namely by living the rest of your life in the Forbidden Forest as a result of your crimes so far."

"Forever you will be sealed there, without anyone who can help you," said Emperor Tachibana again explained. "Take him!"

Ready to execute!

The tallest warriors who approached Kyeo, the demon still remembered the same expression, even looked dark and scary.

On cue through his fingers, the leader of the elite troops gave the code to bring the devil into the forbidden forest.

After the death of the people dressed all in black who took Kyeo the bat demon to the prison that would lock him up forever, the old ruler's brown blind in a robe of greatness returned to honor his guest of honor who had come from afar.

"Thank you for your help, Miko-san *."

The emperor smiled shyly, with his teeth deep enough, then straightened up again. The middle-aged man who was respected by his people then said, "Without your help, we could not have caught that demon alive. Once again, thank you very much."

Himiko, the Shinto priestess, smiled sweetly when she heard the story of the emperor, the young woman who lowered the red hood on her head then bowed inside. Her short black hair was seen swaying following his body movements.

"Your Majesty, you do not need to bow yourself down," she said politely. "I'm just an ordinary girl."

Himiko looked at the face of the ruler with her black irises, then said again in a voice that sounded so soft, "I am happy to help people who are in trouble, Your Majesty."

"Everyone is unsettled by the presence of the devil who has destroyed the order of human life. Therefore, on orders and duties from my mother, I went after Kyeo and tried to catch him."

"Then, regarding Kyeo's handling ... I'm only helping to create peace in this region. Just lock him in a place filled with holy white energy."

Himiko explained all the reasons behind the fact that she caught Kyeo. The emperor nodded in understanding.

The Lord of the Land of Clouds then circulated his gaze to all the residents present there, conveying what was on his mind. Until then the group of soldiers who brought Kyeo back carrying the devil. "Report, Your Majesty! Kyeo has something to say!"
