Chapter 10: Escape

  Back on earth I remember hearing about a man named Peter Dinsdale. I don't remember much about him, but one quote he said resonated with me as I burn this building.

  " I wanted to see the world burn because mine already had " - Peter Dinsdale.

  As my hand melted away, i thought about how this damn world has been, how the people I've meet have been nothing but shit.

  The corner of my lips curled slightly.

  ' I hope you assholes burn alive, Igor. I hope you learn what it feels like to burn alive just like I have, I hope you suffer in despair as your life fades away. '

  My mind slowly spiraled into a mad frenzy.

  The entire room was on fire now. I waited in the room of fire, waiting for someone to enter the room.

  Igor came running inside.

  He screamed "what the hell is going on!"

  Turning the skill back on, my fist set ablaze. I charged at him as I actived my skill mental outburst and Numb body.

  I sucker punched him in the face as hard as I could.

  I never expected someone that was a slave trader to be strong. I expected him to have hired people to do the physical jobs, security, protection incase the slaves fought back.

  But as my hit landed sqaure on his face, he didn't move an inch. Not even the fire bothered him. My fire did nothing, it was as if the fire didn't affect him.

  "Fire? Cute. You’ll need more than that to hurt a demon, boy."

  His skin turned black before he kicked me in the stomach.

  Even with the skill Numb body, it felt like I was hit by a truck.

  I was sent flying back, busting a hole through the wall and rolling into the street.

  I felt my back being priked by all the spinlters I had from when I crashed into the wall. My stomach felt as if my insides were bruised.

  My back hurt. I couldn't even get up. I was paralyzed.

  My disks felt out of place. My spine wasn't a straight line anymore. It was contorted.

  I felt as my nerves shot signals throughout my entire body. Signal of pain. My body spasm and my muscles involuntary contracted in pain.

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  "Ahhhhhh" I screamed.

  The pain was intense, but I was barely holding on by a thread, not giving in to the pain.

  I tried to get up, I tried to run, but it was futile. I could no longer move.

  'FUCK!'

  the demon appeared right infront of me. I couldn't even lift my head to look up at him.

  The demon picked me up by my neck and with his right fist, clenched it until black flames engulf his fist.

  He got ready to punch me, reeled back his fist, grinning.

  With lightning speed he brought his fist right to my face.

  'Shit!'

  I thought I was done for. That it was the end of the road for me.

  His fist stop infront of my face. The punch didn't connect.

  "Your interesting, I haven't seen a new human have a skill like that before." Said the demon. "Considering I checked your status and didn't see that skill, you must have some skill that overpowered my 'eyes' " licking his lips he continued " for a human who just got here to be able to have a skill that was stronger then my 'eyes'. You must be pretty special. Tell me. Did you make a contract with an Angel."

  I only hanged from his grip on my neck. I couldn't speak even if I wanted to.

  The people on the street only stared, they didn't seem to be bothered by what was happening.

  Behind me, I could even hear someone laughing.

  "Hahahah, the idiot thought he could escape Igor. hahaha." Said someone behind me

  "Come on finish him already Igor. We want a show!" Hollered someone else.

  Igor I thought for a moment, his eyes lighting up slowly as he came up with an idea.

  "Ladys and Gentlemen! listen up, I'll be entering the Colosseum with this human as my representative, please come watch as he desperately fights for his life. Tickets will be 50% percent off for this occasion and this occasion only!" Screamed the demon

  Everyone talked In excitement and whistle and clapped after he said this.

  "I guess I should heal you up first before I take you anywhere else" Said the demon.

  Slowly my body was engulfed in a suffocating black Mana. My veins slowly turned black.

  I tried to breath but couldn't, I felt as my entire body twisted, controted and regrow.

  Still grabing me by the neck, he walked back to the wall I broke through and entered back inside.

  My consciousness was fading as I slowly lost breath, my face Turning purple.

  Snapping his fingers, the wall reconstructed itself until it looked brand new, as if I never went flying through the wall in the first place.

  He dropped me on the ground and I was finally able to breath. I hungrily swallowed the air.

  Looking at the man I just killed, the demon said "I guess it's a good thing you killed him. You were worth much more than 50 sliver coins"

  "Eat up" Said the demon

  From his shadow a black snake slithered out and it slowly swallowed the corpse.

  "Allright let get down to business"

  He looked at me, his eyes glowing a red hue.

  "Interseting, So you have more skills beside that fire one you have. Numb body, mental outburst and lucky shot. Wow" the demon laughed sadisticly

  "And your already level 5, impressive.Your going to put on a marvelous show"

  'Damn it, he's to strong for me to fight, to fast for me to run away from. He doesn't even need to be worried if I tried to escape' I thought frustratingly

  "I plan to get as much money as I can from you, so don't worry, I'll make sure your opponents leaves you hanging by a thread." Said the demon.

  "You'll be barely alive. Just enough so that I can heal you and have you fight all over again. Over and over and over! I'm going to make you keep fighting until the people get tired of you"

  A thought slowly formulated inside my head.

  'So for as long as I make sure I keep entertaining the crowd, I'll be healed to fight again. Good, I can get stronger if I'm able to extend the period of time I fight for.'

  I wasn't wasting time thinking about how i failed to escape or about how brutal the fights in the coliseum will be. My mind shift focus to how I could survive, how I could escape.

  "Just as a heads up, your first opponent is an ogre." The demon said happily.

  'Wait WHAT!'

  I'm going to have more trouble than I thought.
