Reincarnated in a Shounen Manga

Chapter 28: I Am Grateful

Im glad Id gone to the bathroom before the training camp or I would be shitting my pants. If I were a man without fear, I might have gone and comforted him as the girl with the bubbly personality who had once encouraged him was about to die.

The girl was a similar character to me. She would only appear in one arc and die in the end, so Agon could have some character growth and be like; I will never let a friend die again!

A malicious dark purple demonic energy that formed around him the size of a mountain burst out. It was demonic energy that towered over all the demons I had met until now combined.

I understood why the manga characters were so scared when Agon unleashed his powers. The sound of snakes hissing, the revoltingly evil aura.

Hehehehe, the high class demon laughed. His dark egg-like body shook. Who would have though-

Fwish!... The sound was like a whip cracking in the air. A wave of purplish aura split the demon in half. Both halves decayed in the blink of an eye.

The demonic aura carried the most potent poison in this world.

Now that Agon had awakened the demon inside himself, he wouldnt be affected by any toxins. But as soon as the seal started deteriorating, Agon would enter a time limit. He would become a ticking time bomb.

AGGGGHHHGGG!!! He roared toward the sky. Creating a shockwave loud enough to make my eardrums shake and feel like they were about to burst.

It was like a mountain had settled on my shoulders. It was hard to even keep my gaze off the ground with the overwhelming demonic energy coming from Agon.

We stood no chance. It was ridiculous how this wasnt even the full power of the creature inside him.

The deathly aura settled, and a coat of darkness surrounded Agon. Covering every part of his body except his eyes which were yellow and slit like a snakes.

Everyone! Get the injured and living students away from here! I finally came to my senses. As the one person here who knew what would happen, I was also frozen in fear.

I must act now!

Circulating the Ord inside my body to push away any external interferences helped with this.

W -What the hell is that?! Sei muttered. There was unspoken terror in his eyes. His mind would break if I told him this wasnt even 5% of the power Agon could release when his seal really broke.

Remember what the teacher said! Ultimate Class Demons can only be sealed! Humans dont have the power to kill such beings! I reminded him. Sei should be smart enough to catch on to what I was implying.

It was illegal to state that Agon was the vessel of an Ultimate Class demon and a weapon the country had prepared. In this situation, the legality of things didnt matter. But better safe than sorry.

I already had broken a couple of taboos on the illegality of developing an ability that can control humans. So, Sei. Are you ready for the hardest fight of your life?

What the hell are you talking about? I dont have any Ord left! Sei looked at me, grinding his teeth as his eyes were wide.

Why was he so damn scared about everything? In the future, he would fight on even foot against something like that.

The deathly aura around us froze. As if time had stopped, and then it rushed back to where it came fromsettling all in Agon's body.

With his Warrior affinity and that much Ord imbued in him. How many times do you think his stats were multiplied? I asked. It was a question never answered in the original story. You should prepare a mirror. If we get punched by Agon, there wont even be corpses left for people to find.

Damn it! What part of I dont have any Ord dont you get?! Seis mask had broken, and only fear was left in his wake.

Hoping that the rival character could get some of his own power up was wishful thinking. We were a couple of arcs before he could do that.

Everyone except Sei and I had retreated. I breathed out a sigh of relief. Now I needed to come up with a plan on how to fight that thing. Deep down, Agon was inside that malicious energy. As a shounen main character, he wont kill humans. So he probably wont go all out. Also, he will be fighting from instinct alone.

If this were a fair fight, I wouldnt do something stupid like this. But until Sei came to his senses, I had to play with the monster a bit.

My heart beat crazily, and I felt my pupils contract. My instincts were yelling at me to run.

No, I wouldnt do that. I was scared as hell. But I wont run! From now on, I wanted to prove to myself that I could change things!

First of all, I knew my reaction time wouldnt be able to keep up with Agon. By the time I would see his punch, I would be splattered to the ground. So I must use my knowledge and what I know about Agon.

How does he fight?

Later in a future arc, Agon will create a punching special ability. On which hand? His right hand. Agon was right-handed!

Fwish!... Agon disappeared from his place. I didnt have time to react, but I just acted and crouched down.

Within an instant, Agon was in front of me. A straight punch passed over my head. But I hadnt considered the blast created from the after-effect of such an attack. I flew about fifty meters in the air.

Shit, wont I die from the fall? I muttered my thoughts out loud. There was no time to be proud of how I had dodged an attack that would have killed most Exorcists. New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com

Ive never been parachuting in my last life. So falling like this was scary. But I couldnt help but smile. Adrenaline flew through my body, and my time compressed.

Hahahaha! Someone was laughing like a madman.

Agon looked at me, not even paying attention to Sei, who was shaking.

Ahahahahaha! The madmans laughs grew even louder. Who the hell was laughing at a time like this? I didnt have the time to look around and find who it was.

Agon crouched down, his leg muscles tripled in size, and he jumped toward me like a predator about to catch his prey.

If I were in his place, I would punch my opponent in the head. But Agon was fighting on instinct alone, which gave me a significant heads-up on his next move. I tried moving my stomach and torso out of the way and maneuvered mid-air.

A punch flew where my stomach would have been. As expected, he didnt want to hurt me even in his crazy state.

Agon and I stood parallel to each other as we were both falling. Youre not able to fly. So why the hell would you jump here? Now you have no foothold to make use of that speed.

We were within arm's length. Agon stared at me in confusion, but it wouldnt take long for him to attack. So I yelled out. Agon! Are you going to let some bastard fight your battles for you!

He froze in place. I wanted to punch him at least once, as that might help. But if I touched that poisonous aura, I was a dead man. I would probably wither away faster than the high class demon. He at least had some poison resistance.

Ripping off my shirt, I wrapped it around my fist. Then I punched Agon right in the face. Wake up! You fool!

Instead of waking him up, the punch made him angrier. My punch might have been weak and done no damage. But that was enough to have pushed him far away. Enough where he wouldnt be able to land a kick.

Agon took a deep breath, and his chest inflated like a balloon.

Oh! Shit! I pulled out a weak barrier talisman and crossed my arm. A gentle light surrounded my body.

ROARRR! He blasted air toward me, pushing me against a tree. My organs rattled, and I felt the blood rise up from my throat. It broke a couple of my ribs, and they poked at my lungs.

But I couldnt afford to lie down. I had landed close to a shaking Sei.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!! The madmans laugh rang out again. This time it was a bit gurgled, as if he had water down his throat.

Sei turned and stared at me with a weird look in his eyes. He clenched his teeth and yelled out. What the hell are you laughing for?!! Does this situation seem funny to you?!

Huh?

I looked behind me, and there was no one else. I touched my face and a huge smile was there.

Oh, I get it now.

I was the madman laughing all along.
