Evil Appears

We meet outside with some of the former sex slaves. It is now dark outside.

“Thank you so much!” (Girl)

“You people are heroes!” (Girl)

Some guards from a nearby town came and gave blankets to the girls to keep them warm.A guard with a mustache walks up to me.

“Hello, my name is Commander Charles, you three did a good thing here, thank you.” (Commander Charles)

“Of course, we just did what we thought was right.” (Chandler)

“We just did what we had to, glad to help Commander.” (Claire)

“What are you’re names adventurers?” (Commander Charles)

“My name is Chandler, and they are Claire and Tana.” (Chandler)

“You have a good party kid, keep up the good work.” (Commander Charles)

Suddenly an ominous wind breezes by

“Hmm, so this is where I was sensing that other worldly aura..” (???)

Everyone looks over at the one who said that, it’s a man with long white hair, and a white ancient Japanese outfit. He has a cold expression and markings on his face.Who is this guy? He came out of literally no where.

He looks at me.

“You, you’re the one I was sensing, I was sent here by my superiors to greet you, I am the demon Aku, what is you’re name human?” (Aku)

“Demon!? Attack him!!” (Guard)

About a dozen of Commander Charles’ soldiers charge at the demon Aku.

“Foolish humans, this attempt is meaningless.” (Aku)

Aku closes his eyes and sighs, he then snaps his finger and all the soldiers who were charging at him were incinerated by a purple flame, instantly killing him.

“Stand down...” (Commander Charles)

Commander Charles orders the last three guards to stand down, knowing they can’t win.Aku instantly appears right in front of me after his display.

“I asked a question.” (Aku)

Hideki mentioned something about the demon army preparing to invade, so this is a demon. I bet I can get good XP if I yeet his ass.

“I’m Chandler Brown, and I’m gonna kill you.” (Chandler)

I draw my sword and swing it at the demon, but he blocks it with only one finger. I can now see his name above his head, but it’s weird...

<Aku, Level ???>

“Mortals truly are foolish, you would think you wouldn’t try that after what you just witnessed, my disappointment is immeasurable.” (Aku)

“Chandler, you idiot!” (Claire)

“I was told to give you this gift, since you are one of the four saviors summoned by the white order, consider it a welcome gift.” (Aku)

What the hell kind of welcome gif...

I look down and the demon’s hand is stabbed through my chest. He pulls his hand out and my blood spews everywhere.

“Hopefully you make good use of my gift, I will take my leave now, goodbye Chandler Brown.” (Aku)

Aku vanishes.

My vision fades and I collapse on the ground, blood splatters everywhere.

“CHANDLER!!” (Claire)

“CHANDLER!!” (Commander Charles)

“MASTER!!” (Tana)

I faintly here everyone calling my name, but I can barely see, hear or feel anything. What the fuck, when he said a gift, this isn’t what I was expected. My consciousness then fades away.
