World End: The Successor's Contract

The leader of the bandit looked at his two unconscious teammates on the ground before changing his focus back to Zeno who was still standing on the car talking to Anna.

'Did he defeat all of them?' He thought to himself "I guess I underestimated my target." The bandit gave out a silent smile.

"Hey! At least answer this one question, why did you pull me out of the car like that? You do have a reason right?" Zeno asked.

The bandit placed his ax on his shoulders before giving out a big grin as he looked Zeno in the eye, "Why don't you come down here and I'll tell you all about it." The bandit said.

Zeno's face froze in shock, he was expecting a straight answer and not a threat, "What the hell is with this guy?".

"I knew I wasn't the only one, this dude really gets under my skin." Uta groaned.

Zeno looked at Uta and then smiled before jumping down from the cluttered car, "If this dude wants a fight I say we give it to him, Uta!" Zeno called out her name.

"If you must." she immediately turned to a blade and attached herself to Zeno's hand.

"We can still settle this peacefully, I am not against that." Zeno voiced out.

Looking at the bandit with his blue glowing eyes, he could help but sigh at the thought of him battling someone he doesn't know.

What even surprised him more was the fact that he knew exactly what to do when he called out to Uta.

"Hard pass!" The bandit replied, "Where's the fun in that?".

"This guy, URgh." Uta yelled, even in her sword form she could still communicate with Zeno.

"Listen here you fools, I want you guys to take care of the rest, and don't let them interfere." The bandit's leader ordered his men.

"The kid with the blue eyes is mine, I don't want anything spoiling my fun." He grinned before sprinting toward Zeno at full speed.

The axe he was holding went scarping the floor but even that didn't slow him down.

They clashed and the first thing they did was swing their weapons at each other, they kept attacking and blocking but even Zeno knew he was facing someone with good skill.

'Even with his size, he can still move that fast?' Zeno thought to himself as he kept blocking the bandit attacks.

The bandit laughed before striking his ax at Zeno, aiming directly for the head, but Zeno blocked it with his sword before the weight brought him to his knees.

"Damn, this dude is strong." Zeno thought out loud, falling to one of his knees while still sliding on the ground.

"Come on, don't you want to possess me anymore." Ava said to herself, she sat at the back of the broken car as she tried to convince Geko to take over her body and fight the thugs.

While Ava was doing this, Anna and Andrew were trying their best to hold the thugs back.

Andrew grabbed a long iron and started winging it randomly to stop the thugs from advancing, "Stay back, I mean it!" He yelled.

The bandits laughed, mocking him as they drew closer, each one giving Andrew a death stare with their dagger pointed at him.

Anna went on to look for something to wield as a weapon but she couldn't find anything.

"Damn it, why does nothing ever go my way?" She felt frustrated as she watched Andrew struggle to hold them back.

She saw a purple plant that had lots of spikes on its vines, "This will do." She thought to herself as she reached out to grab the plant.

As soon as her hand touched the plant, it burned her so badly that her fingers turned beet red.

"Ouch!" She cried out, looking at her fingers to see that her skin was heating up from the contact she made.

"Hold up, is that a… Shinoku plant?" She questioned, staring at the burn that was on her hand.

Just when she wanted to wrap it up with her cloth, one of the bandits appeared at her back and almost landed a solid hit with the cutlass she was holding.

Anna was able to spot the bandit and immediately rolled out of the way. Although she was able to get away, she ended up with a small cut on her right arm.

"Where do you think you're going bitch" The female bandit yelled before charging toward Anna.

She searched for Andrew with her eyes and saw that he was preoccupied with the multiple bandits that surrounded him.

Zeno was still fighting the leader and seemed to be losing himself the longer the battle took place.

And Ava had gone unconscious for some reason, she was laying on the floor close to the carrier.

"No no no, that won't do, why won't you play with me?" The female bandit mumbled to herself as she walked toward Anna.

She had a depraved look on her face as she slowly approached Anna who was butt-crawling herself away from her.

The bandit suddenly picked up the pace, and she started running towards Anna while laughing crazily, "Can't wait to carve off that princess look on your face!" The bandit yelled.

When she got close enough she sought to cut Anna open with her cutlass but was stopped when her hand went flying deep into the forest.

She screamed at the top of her lungs in pain, "Son of a bitch! My arm!" She groaned in pain while looking to her right to see who attacked her.

And there she was, Geko with her cursed gun aimed at the bandit, "I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" Geko gave her a sinister smile.

"You fucking bitch!" The bandit yelled in anger, she let go of her bleeding arm and grabbed her cutlass that was on the floor.

She charged toward Geko at full speed, ignoring the blood that was dripping from her detached arm while screaming, "I'll kill you!" as she got closer.

But luck wasn't on her side, in the blink of an eye, Geko appeared in front of her with her gun aimed at the bandit's heart and their forehead touching one another.

The bandit's eyes widened in shock when Geko suddenly appeared in her front, she didn't even see Geko move an inch.

"Charging towards a demon? That's not a very smart move," Geko muttered before shooting the Bandit's chest.

The blast sends the bandit's body falling to the ground with her heart getting blown to pieces from the power.

But Geko was not done yet. Taking slow steps, Geko aimed her gun at the dead bandit and uttered, "Rakeal".

Her gun opened up a dark dust-like material that sucked the bandit's body in whole, leaving no trace of her behind.

Anna, who observed the whole thing, covered her mouth in disgust before stomping toward Geko.

"Why did you do that?" Anna asked with a stern look while she waited for an answer.

"I felt hungry so I ate her." Geko responded

"You don't just go around eating people!" Anna yelled.

"I'm a demon! it's what I do, now shut the hell up and don't piss me off any more than you already have".

"What? piss you?… urgh!!" Anna sighed, "Please just help me safe Andrew".

. . . . . . . . . . .

The bandits used the back of his Ax to send Zeno crashing into one of the trees.

Zeno didn't waste any time before he came and went on the offensive. He was able to scratch the bandit on his cheek with his fast-moving sword attacks.

"You've gotten stronger, that much is obvious, the real question here is what are you?" The bandit asked with a straight face.

"You are not human, and I can tell you carry a damn strong demon with you, is it the white hair lady giving you all this power?" The bandit asked.
