Kyle had almost reached humani street, conversing with his demon wife Lilith. Who was now visible beside him, holding his shoulder as they walked.
"So Lilith, how is it that I can only see you?" He asked the question that'd been lingering on his mind.
"Oh! It's just an invisibility skill I learned. I can choose to become visible to everyone, not just you. But I would be putting you in grave danger if a demon were to see us." She cheerfully replied, hopping like an innocent bunny.
Her two cannons bouncing in a repetitive motion, making Kyle loose consciousness. A forbidden heat rising in him. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he decided to keep talking, which didn't go unnoticed by Lilith.
Lightly giggling to his weak will.
"So there's no demon nearby… just to be safe." Kyle added, looking round.
"Nope! None that I've sensed so far." She smiled, playfully tugging Kyle's shoulder on her breast. She still wore the tight white and black striped dress. Causing many men to drool, gawking at her body.
"She's so beautiful.." A man commented, appreciating a living work of art.
"Who's that kid, and why's she holding his shoulder?" Another scowled, directing a threatening glare at Kyle.
"That must be her son..." A brunette petite beauty interjected.
"I don't care; I would still fuck her anytime."
Many opinions came from different men as Kyle and Lilith walked by. The ones that were with their girlfriends, received one or two hot slaps across the face.
"Haha!" Kyle chuckled. "You really are a cheeky demon."
"Uwu~" She giggled softly, causing her two bubbles to shake.
"Thanks for the compliment, master."
It only took about five more steps to enter the lit-up Humani street. But there was a small dark alley, just by the left, before entering Humani Street.
The moon, barely reflecting any rays there.
"I never really liked that alley," Kyle said staring at the alley, when Lilith suddenly stopped in front of the entrance.
"W-what is it, Lilith?"
"Th-that girl named Yua, she's in there."
"W-what's she doing in there all by herself?" Kyle pondered confused.
"That's the problem." Lilith frowned. "She's not alone; there are two men who want to harm her sexually."
"Fucking rapists."
This rapist thing was gradually becoming rampant in Tokyo, as there would always be a report of a rape that occurred in a nearby street. But not once had it happened in Humani Street.
"W-what are you going to do master?"
"I-I don't know... Shit! I didn't plan for this."
"You can just leave her be and get revenge for what she did to you Kyle."
Lilith was right; Kyle didn't like Yua. Only just wanted to have sex with her, and get revenge. But it seemed there was another conscience in his mind.
"I—if I leave her here, then I am just like those filthy dogs." Even though Kyle disliked her, he couldn't just leave her there to the wolves to be molested.
Aunt Kimi's heart would be torn apart if Yua came home with blood all over her; the blame would be on Akemi. And Kyle didn't like seeing women being forcefully abused.
He saw a small wooden plank lying on the floor, which he picked up. Stealthily advancing with light footsteps, inside the dark alley.
"Help me!" He could hear muffled screams in the alley, under the little reflection of the moonlight as he proceeded. The screams got louder, until he reached a huge waste bin and hid behind it looking ahead.
He had reached the end of the alley, which was a bit long. That's when he saw Yua against the end of the wall, screaming for help. Two men in their 30s inching closer to her with lust-filled eyes.
"D-don't you fucking touch me!!" Yua screamed at the top of her lungs. But the noise didn't echo that much; it seems the alley didn't project sounds that far.
"Shhh... Shut the fuck up girl! No one can hear you here" The man at the left said, bearing a sinister look on his face.
"Yeah. You should be happy you're the lucky girl who's going to taste our cum." The bald-man at the right motioned, touching his pants.
Tears flowed down Yua's face, darting a disgusted look. She felt powerless right now; there wasn't even an object near her to defend herself with.
"I-I'd rather die than suck your rotten dicks!" Yua yelled defiantly.
"Then so be it."
Kyle hid behind the waste bin, watching everything. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike; they were about 6 ft away from Yua.
"Lilith, whatever I do, I want you to promise me you won't intervene." He looked at the demon beside him, who didn't feel any fear at all.
"I—I can't. What if they pulled out a knife? You're still inexperienced in combat, and even though you have the system, you don't have a healing skill." She pinpointed all the flaws in Kyle's plan, as one small mistake could cost him his life.
"Promise me, Lilith..."
"Fine, but you better be careful..."
Kyle smiled, he thought of this as a new challenge to get stronger. He was preparing himself to attack, but something unexpected happened.
[New quest received]
[Quest objective: Protect her]
[Description: One of the women you will acquire, has fallen into the hands of psycho killers. Successfully kill or knock out the two killers in front of you, and protect her from harm.]
[Reward: 2 instant level ups for killing them, while 1 for knocking them out successfully]
[Penalty: Death]
"What the—" He stared openly at the screen with wide eyes.
"A quest had appeared now of all times." He never even knew the system had quests for him; only when Yua was in danger did this appear.
"Ahhhhh!" Yua's scream averted his gaze, as the two men were now just 2 feet away from her, their hands stretched out. She was no match for them, even if she tried to resist.
"Shit! I was going to protect her anyways." He ran at full speed, not caring if he attracted the attention of the two killers in front. With the plank in his hands.
"Let her go!" Kyle let out a battle cry, putting strength into his hands.
"What the hell—"
The skinny man with green hair at the left didn't have time to react to the wooden plank, that was swung with great force directly hitting his face.
'Bam! Crack.'
Kyle swung the plank hard, with all his strength, planning to knock the other out. But it seems he added too much strength. The plank snapping into two upon impact with the killer's face, pushing Kyle back a bit.
'Thud!' The killer with green hair dropped on the floor, his condition unknown.
"Fuck! Verm!" The bald man yelled, checking his comrade's condition.
"K-Kyle?" Yua stared at Kyle with her teary eyes; she didn't know how he found her, but she was happy he was here. A glimmer of hope shone in her eyes, watching the killer dropped to the floor.
Kyle quickly went to grab Yua to make a run for it, but was sent skidding back with a punch to his guts.
"Y-you think you can get away with that, kid?"
"You're all fucking dead!" The bald man roared, charging towards Kyle with a fist sent to his face.
"Get behind me." Kyle went to face the bald man while protecting Yua.
Now that he looked at him, he was a little bulky but also slow. Kyle's movements were a bit faster.
"Fuck! Why the hell are his attacks so strong?" He had blocked the attack by raising his left arm. But the strength behind it was overwhelming, causing his arm to hurt.
The bald man seemed a little surprised, this kid took his attack head-on and was still standing. But the rage in his eyes was domineering.
He headbutted Kyle, letting the latter stumble before landing a kick to his chest. Sending him falling back.
"Cough! Shit. Just what's in this man's body?" He thought, coughing up fresh blood.
"Kyle! You have to be careful; I fear you can't take more than five more hits." Lilith said with worry.
She had wanted to interfere for too long, but Kyle strictly warned her not to. Saying he had to challenge himself.
"Phough! phough~ Don't worry, phough! Lilith, I'll be alright." Kyle stood back on his feet, staring at his opponent, who looked at him with murderous intent.
"K-Kyle, be careful!" Yua yelled behind the waste bin.
"What!? I thought you'd gone to get help." He frowned with wide eyes, noting Yua was still present.
He thought she had long gone to get help, that's why he dared to continue fighting this man. But it seemed he had to either kill him, or knock him out for them to safely pass through.
"I—I couldn't leave you behind. W-what if you died." She stuttered, lowering her head.
Staring at her, Kyle could've sworn he saw a faint blush appear on her cheeks.
"Well, you're just pulling me back." Kyle muttered.
"Hey! Enough with the talk; it's time to die." The bald man charged in again, with the same approach as before.
"You talk too much." Kyle retorded, placing his thumb down.
"You might have brute strength, but you're still a fucking dumb blockhead." Kyle dodged to the side; as the fist swung past him. He kicked the man's kneecap to the side.
"Crack... Argh! You fucking cockroach." He swung again wildly; this time Kyle ducked down and punched his ribs fiercely.
"Shit!" Kyle was so caught up, landing blows on his ribs. He was oblivious, when he thrust his leg with full force to Kyle's head.
The only thing Kyle could do at the last moment was barely cross his arms, to block the attack. Avoiding critical damage to the brain.
"Ahh!" He was flung to the side, panting and coughing up blood onto the floor; his head hurt more than ever right now. Even though his vision was blurry, muffled sounds resounded in his ears.
"N-no, Kyle!" Yua yelled observing this attack hurt the most, she even felt the impact of the kick.
She hoped Kyle was alright and didn't suffer brain damage. But it looks like he wasn't getting up to fight again.
"You should've just minded your fucking business boy."
'Bam!' He kicked Kyle's chest with his leg two times, jerking him up a bit.
"Argh!" Kyle grunted as he held his chest. He coughed up more fresh blood, struggling to stand but his body just couldn't.
"You touch a killer then you get killed!"
'Bam!'
"Argh..."
He stomped his foot hard on Kyle's ankle, dislocating the joint. Kyle yelled in pain, trying to hit his leg away. But he caught Kyle's left arm and twisted it.
'Crack.'
"Ar-rghh... yua, run!" Kyle's body was in a bloody mess; most of his joints were disfigured.
"Haha... Now this is a good kill." The man dipped his hand in his right pocket, and brought out a small pocketknife. Unsheathing it.
"Now, it's time for you to die as promised." With a smile, he raised his hand to stab Kyle. But Yua jumped on his back, biting his neck fiercely.
"Get off me you fucking bitch!" He threw Yua away; her body hit the huge metal waste bin, causing her head to spin.
"You can have your turn first, pretty." The bald man snickered, slightly bowing with courtesy.
The bald man looked at Yua and walked towards her, with the pocketknife in his hand. He was grinning widely, but Kyle barely held his legs.
"N-no~ It's me you want, you fucking pr-ick." Kyle could barely talk, as blood dripped down his head. But he didn't give up, latching to the man's leg.
"Fuck off!" He nudged Kyle. "I'll deal with you slowly, but her… I have to taste." He continued walking towards her; Yua could barely stand, her vision still blurry.
"N-no, no!" Kyle couldn't let him possibly kill Yua.
If he was going to protect the women he loved, he had to defeat this piece of shit to take a first step.
"I'm fucking stronger than him." Gritting his teeth, unknown strength built up inside of him.
"Hahaha! Now let's see you bleed a bit, shall we?"
"No!" With a loud shout, Kyle ran towards Yua at full speed, clenching his right fist hard. The bald man also had the knife held up in the air, swinging it down.
'Bam!'
"Ick." Kyle took the hit as the knife pierced his chest, but not without dealing a final blow to the man's head. Breaking some bones in his neck, knocking him out cold.
"Err... Phough! Pho—" Kyle watched with wide eyes as blood seeped out from his body.
"Kyle!!!" Yua screamed quickly rushing to catch kyle as he fell.
At first she saw her life flash before her eyes. But at that split second, Kyle had managed to save her again, taking the hit himself.
"No... No, no! It's all my fault." Streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Hoding Kyle's body in her embrace, his blood stained her white uniform, dyeing some parts red.
"H-he's losing a lot of blood. I—I have to take him to the hospital." She was dragging him by the shoulders, outside of the alley to a nearby hospital, as a shadow stood behind. Under the faint illumination of the moon rays.
Clenching her fist, Lilith bore a conflicted expression. A dark must seeping out from her body.
"I—I tried to warn him about these fucking humans."
'Bam!'
She stomped her foot on the head of the bald man. Explodinh into pieces, tissues of flesh and brain juices spilling all over the place. Her eyes were glowing dark red.
"Ahhhh!" She let out a mighty scream that shook the ground violently.
"None of them will live!" Like an orange, she squashed the head of the other green-haired killer. Walking with fluttered steps to check up on Kyle.
Luckily, Yua found a passerby with a car, and they placed Kyle in the back seat. Lilith could only watch in tears as they drove off.
"Y-you'd better survive, Kyle Conner... Or I promise you, I'll kill every human in existence." Lilith vowed, brimming with anger.
The cold breeze blew upon her, dangling her silky dark hair softly in the wind. Before she disappeared.
