Chapter 40
"Hey there, dragon vessel. I have been looking for you," the demon said with its otherworldly voice, causing Max to stiffen in shock.
'I'm… I'm… I'm dead.'
"I will keep things simple," the demon continued as it lifted its elongated clawed finger and pointed at the shaken-up Max. "I have been forcefully summoned here to kill you. You are a threat to the demon race if allowed to live much longer, so you have to go."
Funny enough, Max wasn't listening to any of this. His mind was spiraling with different thoughts. His body tensed, his hands clenched tightly as if by force to stop them from trembling.
'A… a… a real demon? What the hell is with my shitty luck?! Wh… why am I faced with a real demon? I… I barely survived the day I fought a vessel. A damn vessel who wasn't even a full demon.
And now I'm staring at the real thing. A goddamn demon straight from… wait! Where are they from again?'
"The underworld," Pix replied flatly.
