Observing Zero with that pure innocent smile on his face, the demon gulped as he didn't utter even a single word.
"Hmmm.. Hey? Why aren't you speaking? Can you not hear me?" spoke Zero as he brought his hand closer to the Demon's ears and…
-Screech
Torn the demon's ear apart and brought it closer to his mouth as he tried speaking to it. Realising he overused his power, Zero made a slightly dumbfounded face and looked at the ear in his hand. He then made an 'Oops!' expression before speaking,"well.. Whatever. I will still tell you what I want to tell… since I probably can't tell anyone else about it."
Zero spoke as he took a step back and then began speaking by himself,
"So Annabeth was the elder sister and not the younger one. It made me wonder if I am in the real world or just another world, if you know what I mean…"
The demon regenerated himself and stood up with a still scared face but this time he wasn't running. Instead, he jumped at Zero,
-Boom
Zero stopped his attack with one hand as he nonchalantly continued," but then I remember that even on the flight it was mentioned Anna as the little sister and Elle as the elder one despite that being opposite. Do you know what that means?" Zero smiled, and the demon took a step back.
The demon then sprouted massive wings and began flying in the air as he went as up as he could however…
-Boom
Zero reached right above him in an instant and kicked him down as he spoke,
"That means that someone made some changes with the information. From there, the next task was to find who could have done it and why… luckily the guy himself came running towards us…Viscardi Zelretch."
The demon stood up once again, and he spoke,"you monster!!!" and began chanting something but before he could do anything…
-Slash
-Slash
-Slash
-Slash
-Slash
He was slashed multiple times at his non-vital points.
"There is a technique… called soul transfer, special for Vampire hunters. It was made so that if they encountered a stronger opponent, they could transfer their souls to another person, making them more or less immortal. From here it was easy peasy to determine what just happened…" Zero spoke before his nonchalant happy-go-lucky expression turned serious,"Viscardi planned the whole demon attack and made sure that Anna got affected by the red stone gem. Then he planned to transfer Anna's soul into Elle's body, erasing Elle's soul in the process. The one who would be living from there onwards would be Anna pretending to be Elle."
The demon looked at Zero, wondering why he was telling him that story. Zero, who reached the conclusion, spoke with a disgusted expression,"Original Elle might have been naive and weak despite being a prodigy, which might have been an eyesore for many among the Rose family. But they couldn't kill the very prodigy that had the potential to change their family's status many times over, can they?"
Zero then moved closer to the demon with his hands on his neck and he spoke with a scary expression on his face,"If you can answer this question, young demon. I will give you an easy death. What do you think Viscardi did to solve all the problems they had?"
The demon looked at Zero with a really terrified expression before his eyes saw his system.
[Soul Trapping Magic Detected! Danger! Danger! Soul Trapping Magic Detected]
He gulped before speaking,"Viscardi, who is possibly a Vampire Hunter, transferred the soul of Anna into Elle's and made her live as Anna from there onwards?"
Zero smiled a bit before speaking,"so you really were paying attention to my words, huh? Well, you are right. That is exactly what was supposed to happen. You know, I kind of wanted you to not answer that, but still… I will keep my promise. You can die now," and then the huge mist that had been created all around the place began entering the Demon's body, tearing each and every fibre in his body into pieces and in mere moments the demon died a fast death in front of Zero, who watched the whole process without batting his eyes.
Soon… the world began disintegrating and Zero slowly lost his consciousness…
In his brain, he was still thinking about what to do about the whole situation with Viscardi and that Agent. He wanted to kill them both as cruelly as he could, but since he could use Viscardi; he was contemplating on which move he should make.
....
As soon as Zero opened his eyes, he saw Astraea looking at him with pure shock in her eyes. The red gem stone was gone… and Anna was there lying unconscious but alive. There were no signs of her being a demon anymore, and she was as healthy as she could be.
Everyone who was watching the scene looked at Zero with pure shock. They all had one thought about Zero and that was that they wanted to know who Zero was.
William, looking at the screen, didn't utter a single word as he looked at that boy who saved his granddaughter. He had complicated feelings for the boy in front of him. On one hand, he wanted to thank him for saving Anna, on the other side he wanted to capture him and ask him how he cured Anna. However, in the end…"Capture him." He spoke with a serious voice.
Mark Leeway, who was also looking at Zero, was instead extremely happy when he saw Zero succeed in removing the red gemstone. With this, the credibility that Zero can treat his daughter increased by a huge margin. He commanded Rheo through the call,"save him at all costs."
The agent too moved towards Zero as fast as he could. Zero was too precious to be left on his own.
While all this thing was going on, Zero was concerned with something else totally, as the entire surrounding was disintegrating in front of him and then… everything in an instant turned white.
His heartbeat rose as he tried to understand what was going on, but before he could reach a conclusion, a familiar blue screen came in front of him
[Long time no see, Zero! Glad to see you are still alive.]
