World End: The Successor's Contract

Chapter 53 Mammon Vee Bond



Lucifer stared down at Zeno, as he watched him grunt on the floor in pain, he couldn't help but grin sadistically at the sight.

"Zeno! Do you remember now?!" Lucifer shouted with his hand straight out.

Boss Slayer had his eyes on Lucifer and was starting to get pissed off, "For some reason, I'm feeling the urge to give that guy a good beating." He muttered.

"Not just you, but he's no ordinary demon, anyone capable of doing that to the Successor..." Horina said as she pointed at Zeno, "... Is definitely not normal,".

"No kidding." Boss Slayer responded but his eyes were still locked on Lucifer.

Zeno was slowly starting to raise his head, he could feel his memories flooding in like an open book.

"You should take it easy." Anna tried to take care of Zeno.

"You… should tell that to the demon trying to kill me." Zeno grunted.

He stood to his feet and walked forward, ignoring the pain he was feeling as he set his eyes on Lucifer.

"Well, if it isn't the demon that tried to kill me." Zeno exclaimed, "Should I even ask, what you're doing here?" He said sarcastically.

Lucifer proceeded to sit at the edge of the cliff with his legs dangling back and forth and a smile on his face.

"That's cute." Lucifer voiced, "It's cute that you think I wanted to kill you, you think if I wanted to kill you I wouldn't have cut open your guts, right there and then," He asked.

Zeno didn't say a word, he just stood there as the breeze blew past him while he looked at Lucifer.

Lucifer contained, "Now don't get me wrong, yeah I do want you dead, but not in such a cowardly way.

I want to kill you in a fair match, one on one, the only reason I wiped out your memories was because… wait for it… I can!" He smiled.

"Seeing you scream in pain always gives me a special kind of joy, so I thought, why not make you suffer even more by tossing you into the outside world to fend for yourself, but who knew, you'd be able to survive and come back with your Ankias… even better." Lucifer praised.

"You know for a demon you sure talk a lot, listen, as much as I hate to see you run your mouth, get on to the part where you tell us your plan and I beat the plan right out the window for you." Uta voiced.

Lucifer was quiet for a while before he sighed, "I was hoping to lighten the mood a bit, tough crowd… anyway." He made an even bigger smile.

Lucifer stretched out his right hand, and the relic, eyes of the seer appeared in his hand with the usual white smoke all around it.

As soon as Zeno saw it, he suddenly saw a short flashback of him sleeping in a moving boat while a lady sat beside him holding the same relic.

Zeno was about to speak but Uta was quick with her outburst.

"Where did you get that Lucifer! You know as much as I do how dangerous what you're holding is!".

"Oh I know, but here's the thing… it's exactly what I want." Lucifer stood up from the ground with a laugh.

"You thought the Glinx were bad, ohhhh, you just wait till I'm done here, I'll make sure to make the earth remember what fear feels like." He said in a cold voice.

Zeno looked at Uta, "What is he talking about?" He asked.

Uta slowly looked at Zeno and she could see the frustration in his eyes, the fact that almost everything happening around him was a mystery was starting to bug him.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Uta said, "The white orb on Lucifer's hand is known as the eyes of a seer, during one of your past lives, you and Shuna, the last Ankia of spells, rode to the South because you had heard about the news of a demon Lord spawning."

[Flash back [Second reincarnation, morning… Aris city]]

Zeno was sleeping on a moving boat next to some chests that were filled with different scrolls.

He had a short brown coat that only covered his shoulder and leveled to his stomach. He was a bit muscular with a red feather positioned at the side of his head.

While beside him was a lady in an all-black kimono, she had blue eyes and long black hair that fell to her back.

Amongst the five Ankia, only the judgment and spell Ankia, had the ability to navigate and track anything.

And right then, a navigator was needed to track down a new demon, he was known as the demon Lord of war, Mammon.

One day, a message came to the Successor, informing him of an old tribe in the city of Aris practicing black magic.

They managed to summon a magic circle which brought forth a very powerful demon, Mammon vee bond.

He caused havoc the same day he was summoned, a large number of people died and the ones who survived were used as slaves.

So, Zeno took one of the Ankia to help navigate him toward the demon with the aim of settling the problem before it spreads.

Zeno woke up from his sleep and sat upright, the first thing he saw was the eyes of seer hovering above the center table.

"Shuna?" Zeno called out, he opened the door to the small room on the boat and walked outside.

"Oh, Successor, you're awake!" Shuna voiced out with a smile.

She was standing at the edge of the boat before she jumped down and walked delicately toward Zeno in her beautiful kimono.

"You seem energetic," Zeno muttered.

"Well of course I am." Shuna said excitedly, "This is the first time I've traveled to another city after arriving at Yukop Kingdom, it's amazing." She cried out.

Zeno gave out a warm smile, "I'm glad to see you're happy." He uttered, "So, how long until we get to Aril?".

"Not long now, set your eyes on this!…" Shuna dramatized as she pointed to the shore.

Zeno could see multiple buildings getting clearer as the boat moved closer.

"Mammon vee bond…. I really hopeaI don't have to kill you." Zeno hinted as he stared at the black smoke coming from the city.
