The Great Demon System-Novel

Chapter 172: Snap

'My Lord! Alex and I have run into the enemy on my way to your location. There are 2 people and from my angle, I am unaware of their power levels as I am unable to see their watch. Fleeing does not seem like an option. Depending on how strong they are, we might be late my lord,' Abby reported to Moby using her mind-link.

'Yeah! Don't worry! We'll be there as soon as we destroy these 2 pricks. Just keep Ray safe for now until we arrive to help,' Alex added, making Moby hold all of his emotions under his poker face.

Before he even had the chance to warn them about the possibility of others in the forest, he was already too late… Those people did not appear when Abby scouted the forest and due to their low numbers, he could only assume 1 thing, that they were also high-ranking members of the Zexis gang.

"Ray! Stay back! You were a great help from before and now it's my turn to take care of the rest," Moby said with his hands out straight, motioning Ray to hide behind one of the trees.

Ray understood Moby's intentions and did not complain or hesitate as he did as he was told.

"Good call! I would hate for him to get in our way and die. That would have been a problem since we both still need him alive," Jason laughed.

Moby had to split his concentration between 2 tasks, the task of informing and listening to his friends and the task of paying attention to what was going on in front of him which was much easier said than done.

'Don't get too careless! Those aren't just fodder or ordinary people! They are definitely some high ranking members of the gang! Don't underestimate them! Also, I will add to your orders, kill everyone in sight using any means you deem necessary! Due to the gang's actions, the watches have been disabled for the next hour and we must leave no evidence behind since Ray had already chopped off the watch arms of various students. Any witnesses alive would risk us and him getting exposed. When I say by any means necessary I mean by any means necessary! Use your demon powers if you have to! Dead men don't talk! Just make sure no one else is watching and that they are not recording you and posting a video on the spot, which I doubt they would even think about doing in their predicament,' Moby ordered using their mind-link, also making Jayden hear as well.

Alex and Abby immediately agreed and understood their new orders. Although Abby was slightly sad and disappointed that she would not be fighting by her lord's side like she had hoped to do, she was still content with following orders. As for Alex, he felt like lowly scum like them who kidnap and torture innocent people like Ray are a waste of space and not worth living, so he had no qualms with killing them whatsoever. And, from what he understood from his new demon nature, he would also strengthen himself by doing so.

'I wish you good luck against your opponents, kill them all!' Moby ordered once again in a firm voice, leading to Alex and Abby passionately responding before he closed the mind-link between them, keeping Jayden on the line.

"I am kinda disappointed to have to fight you while you have no armour and weapons but I guess you should just thank your bad luck," Jason said with a confident smile as he looked at Moby's school attire from head to toe that seemed to lack even the simplest of weapons.

"Haha! Are you sure about that?" Moby replied with a smirk, ripping off his school uniform only to reveal his katana and new heavy set of black and purple frost armour underneath, making Jason, Nags, and even Ray go wide-eyed in disbelief.

There was no way he had been hiding such heavy armour underneath his clothes, meaning that unless his armour had some special properties, he had just used his storage ring. Which was impossible since the school had disabled their use unless given express permission.

"What the fuck!? How did you do that? Where were you hiding that armour!? Impossible!" Jason screamed in outrage, still in disbelief at what happened.

"Well, I just wore it under my school uniform of course! Just beat me and find out! It can't be that hard right? So why are you so impatient?" Moby said, lying through his teeth as he just used his inventory.

**************************

With his new armour, his power level was now very much equal to that of his opponent. However, he still considered himself at a disadvantage as he had no information about his opponent's ability while his opponent had probably already done his research on him and knew most of his moves and techniques. Knowledge was key in winning a fight and the lack of it could prove to be fatal.

Moby had no problem doing such a reckless move. If he was captured, the gang probably had some ways of extracting him out of his information using a lie detector or something along those lines. He should not hide anything from them as he planned to kill them anyway. Nothing was off-limits and he had to use his trump cards to his advantage. Only careful planning and strategy would allow him to win in his seemingly dire situation.

For now, His opponents assumed that it must have been some property of his armour. They did not bother asking any more questions as, like he said, they would find out when they defeated him.

This Also made Jason extremely happy as he would now be able to fight Moby at his full strength and not just accept a hollow victory of defeating someone that lacked proper equipment. The more they see of Moby the more they see why their boss wanted him so badly to the point of sending so many people after him.

'Jayden, don't come to my location, it is way too dangerous, there is a barrier around it and anyone who tries to enter would be immediately notified to the person who erected it, making him join the fight. You coming to help would only make it much harder for me, turning my 1 vs 1 with the weaker person into a 2 vs 2 fight where the stronger person joins. I somewhat have a plan in mind to defeat both of them and you joining in would only make my life harder and make my chances of victory almost none existent. Go help out Alex and Abby instead, and once you beat those people, then come and help me when all 3 of you could come together,'

'I am not sure if I understand the full situation but if you say that I would only be a hindrance then I believe you. Now is not the time to argue or play around. I trust your judgement and I'll go help Alex and Abby instead. I know that it will be tough for you and the last thing I want to do is make it harder. I wish you the best of luck, kill their ass honey,' Jayden said with a mixture of seriousness and playfulness that made Moby inwardly smile at her response as he imagined her to be outraged that he thought that she was too weak to join or that he didn't want her with him.

'Yeah, thanks, and good luck to you too Jay honey,' Moby said in a warm voice, inwardly smiling before closing their mind-link, focusing back on the task at hand.

The conversation with his friends took much longer than he expected. Splitting his focus was very mentally taxing for him and he was glad that it was over. Now he could stop his stalling and get ready to battle, as he saw his opponent take up a fighting stance.

"Enough chit chat! This is getting boring, why don't we get started? We have less than an hour to do this and we might as well get started now," Moby taunted, activating his eyes of sin that appeared to have seemingly no effect on his opponent who didn't even flinch at its activation,?leading to him chuckling with a smirk on his face.

"Enough with your arrogance, now let me put you in your place! I'll show you what it meant when you decided to mess with us!"

Jason then relaxed his body and stood up straight, holding his hands out with metal, claw-like gauntlets as he put both his thumb and index finger together.

Moby was not sure what was happening but he was certain that he was planning something, making him focus even harder on his opponent's seemingly casual movements, gripping the hilt of his katana tightly in anticipation.

*Snap*

The sound of Jason's metallic gloves slamming against each other rang throughout the entire forest. And in the next instant, before Moby had the chance to even react with his eyes of sin activated, Jason's large shadow had already been looming over him, his sharp, metallic fist covering his entire field of vision as it accelerated towards his face with incredible speed.

Moby was punched so hard in the face that he was sent flying straight towards the tree right beside Ray, making him shudder and panic with a fearful look of despair and disbelief in his eyes as Moby's body flew right past him, creating a heavy gust of wind.

The punch was so strong that his body skitted across the dirty soil and broke through several large trees before finally stopping, leaving his body seemingly motionless on the ground.
