Mysticwood Forest(at the entrance to the inner layer)
"Come out you bastards!" Julia shouted.
CRUNCH!
Julia then turned,as she heard the sound of the bushes. Seven men began to emerge one after another. This group was different from the ones that attacked Damon and they were also wearing masks,but this group wasn't part of Brock's gang,they were a differentgang that have problems with the village head. They are called The street Renegades and there leader was called Vector.
"Look who we have here."
"Hahahaha, she actually came for that useless piece of shit."
"Your bastard father ruined our business and nowwe are going to get back at him using you." The vector said.
"You insignificant maggots, how dare you lay your hands on Damon and insult my father. I will make you regret ever being born. Julia said.
WHOOOOSH! Intense winds began to blow,as Julia released a high amount of energy.
"W-what is this?"
"How does she have this much spirit energy?"
"Her power is stronger than that of the boss."
The men became afraid of her,as the have never felt this much pressure before.
Step-step-step!
Brock dragging Damon's body walked towards them.
"Damonnn! What did you do to him?" Julia screamed.
WHOOOOSH! The winds intensified.
"It would be best if you calmed down,otherwise I might kill this him right now. Brock said.
"Why you....fine."Julia said and stopped releasing her energy.
"That's a good girl, now put this on." Brock throws a bracelet to her.
"What is this?" She asked holding the bracelet.
"It's called a suppression bracelet. This will make it difficult for you to use your spirit energy."Brock replied.
"If I put it on,will you let Damon go?" She asked.
"If you put it on,then at least his life will be prolonged. Brock replied with a smirk. Julia knew that he was lying but she reluctantly put the bracelet on her left hand and as soon as she did her body became weak.
"There,I put it on,now let him go." Julia said.
"I never said I would let him go,but don't worry i won't kill him now,I will allow him to watch what I will do to you first and when he is completely filled with despair then I will kill him. Brock said sadistically.
"You bastard, I will make you regret this. "Julia said,but brock's men immediately seized her.
"Let go of me."Julia said.
Step-Step-Step!
Brock walked to her,dragged her by the hair and brought her face close to his and said,"Get ready to experience hell." He then blew a powder to her face and she fell asleep.
Brock used a token to open the inner layer, he was able to get a token because he is a C rank.
"Hey,are you sure its a good idea to take them to the inner layer? I mean,it's a very dangerous place." Vector said.
"Of course it's a good idea,I have been there multiple times and I know a safe place that we can use,besidesno one will ever find them there and even if their bodies are found, people will think that it was monsters that killed them no one will suspect us.Brock replied.
Mysticwood Forest (inner layer)
"Wh-where am I?" Damon said with his words tumbling out between pained gasps, as he regained consciousness.
"So,you are finally awake, I was about to tell my men to beat until you woke up. Brock said.
"Wh-what do you want?" Damon said still struggling to speak.
"What I want is simple...to make you suffer." Brock said.
"Does that mean you want to kill me,then just do it. Damon said.
"Hahahaha, don't worry I am going to kill you but not until I have made you feel despair." Brock replied.
"What are you talking about?" Damon asked.
"Take a look over there." Brock said.
Damon could barely open his eyes, but as soon as he saw Julia on the floor, with her body spread, her hands and feet stuck to the ground with rocks by earth magic.
"Julia!" Damon screamed.
"What did you do to her?" Damon asked.
"Hahahaha, yes that's the look I want to see,but it's not enough I will make fall into despair even more." Brock said sadistically.
"Men,make sure he gets a good look,he shouldn't miss even a moment. "Brock ordered.
The men then held Damon and forced him to watch what was going to happen.
Brock then walked to Julia,as he reached her,she began to open her eyes.
"It's good you are awake, now you can experience true hell." Brock said.
"You bastard, let me go." Julia said as she struggled to move, but she couldn't use her spirit energy due to the suppression bracelet.
"Julia!" Damon called.
"Damon!" Julia replied.
"Damon don't worry, I will get you out of here." Julia said.
"No,forget about me and leave." Damon replied.
"Hahahaha, can you believe this two,instead of worrying about themselves,they're still trying to protect one another, even though neither of them are in a position to do so,but in a moment am going to crush all your hopes of both of you escaping. "Brock said.
"Argh!" Julia screamed as brock ripped her clothes off.
"You bastard, how dare you do that!" Damon screamed.
"You filthy scumbag,don't you dare touch me." Julia said.
"Yes, am a scumbag and this scumbag is going to make experience hell. Brock said and ripped her clothes even more. He ripped her clothes till she was naked.
"You dirty pig, let me go."Julia said with a voice of distress.
"Don't touch her! Am begging you don't do it! Damon shout and begged. Brock ignoring Damon went on top of Julia.
"No! No! No! Don't do it!" Julia said desperately pleading.
"Am going to enjoy this." Brock said.
Crack! Pow!
Julia punched brock,after managing to free her right hand from the ground by gathering all her remaining spirit energy to her right hand. She then tried to remove the suppression bracelet.
THUD! Julia head was smashed to the ground by brock.
"You bitch,so you still had some energy left." Brock said angrily.
POW! POW! POW!
Brock punched her till blood dripped down from her face and she lost consciousness.
"Julia!" Damon screamed. Tears fell from his eyes, he was completely helpless and he thought to himself ,"Why...just why..why am I so weak? No matter how much I trained I couldn't get stronger, for all these years am still a mere E rank. I can't even protect the people who are important to me. Julia has helped me whenever I was in danger, but now that she needs me I can't do anything. Why was someone like me even born,it would have been better for me to die,at least then this won't he happening."
"So,where were we? I wanted her to be conscious, but it doesn't matter at this point." Brock said.
"No,this can't happen, I can't let it happen, no matter what I must help her,even if it means I die, I must protect her." Damon thought.
"What is that." One of Brock's men said pointing at Damon. Damon body was releasing a red energy coated with a sinister aura.
"What is this strange feeling."
"Hey,listen here,you better stop whatever you are planning or we will be forced to deal with you right now." Brock men said but Damon didn't respond.
"Why you...fine since you refused to comply I end you now." He then went to punch Damon.
WHOOOOSH! "ARGHHHH!"
Damon released an enormous amount of energy and blew away all the men holding him.
Pow! Thud! Damon punched the man that charged at him up to the ceiling. The sounds attracted Brock that was about to have his way with Julia.
"What is with all the noise, I was about to-" Brock was shocked to see what happened, he saw one of his men in the ceiling and the rest on the floor.
"What happened?" Brock asked his men.
"I-it was him." One of his men replied
pointing at Damon and trembling in fear.
"H-How is this possible,he was a mere E rank that i could crush anytime i wanted,how could he have such power." Brock said feeling anxious.
"RRAAAHHH!"Damon roared. A deafening roar that shattered the air,like thunder on a stormy night. An aura of dark power surrounded him,like a shroud of shadow and flame,striking awe and terror into them.
"You guys, attack him all at ones,don't be afraid of him. "Brock ordered his men,but the weren't willing to comply.
"Vector, aren't you and your men going to help,don't forget am the only one that knows the safe way out of this place." Brock said.
"You bastard...fine I guess there is no turning back now. Listen to me everyone ,my men will go on the offensive,while the rest of you use range spells to attack." Vector said.
"Physical Enhancement!" Vector's men casted the spell and charged at Damon.
"Energy Blast!" Brock's men casted.
KABOOM! After the spell exploded at Damon, Vector's men attacked, but Damon wasn't there.
"Wh-where did he go?" One of Vector's men said in shock.
SPLASH! As something splashed on his face he turned and saw that one of his comrade has been beheaded.
THUD! ARGHHHH! As the body collapsed to the floor,a scream of terror echoed from one of Vector's men.
"No,this can't be happening, am leaving. " One of Vector's men said and tried to run away.
SLASH! His body was severed.
SMACK! Two of Vector's men had their heads bashed into one another. These were happening so fast they there eyes couldn't keep up.
"Wh-where is he?He's too fast." The last of Vector's men said frightened.
THUD! His head was smashed to the ground.
"There he is fire." Brock ordered his men.
PEW! PEW! PEW! They fired.
WHOOOOSH! Faster than wind, Damon disappeared.
SLASH! All of Brock's men were beheaded.
It was only Vector and Brock that remained.
"Listen,Brock were both C ranks,so if we work together we may be able to escape." Vector said.
"Your right, let us beat him together. " Brock replied.
WHOOOOSH! Both of them channelled all their spirit energy.
"Fire Magic: Flame Shot." PEW! Vector casted.
"Earth Magic: Rocky Spikes." RUMBLE! Brock casted.
As both spells headed towards Damon,his right hand was engulfed in a dark energy and his fingers stretched into claws. He glitches his right fist and threw a powerful punch.
BOOM! KA-BOOM!
Vector's and Brock's spell well destroyed,but it didn't stop there Vector and Brock themselves were obliterated.
Damon still in this possessed state began gradually walking towards Julia.
