I coughed out blood in my mouth and nose. The intense pain made me rethink if this is really an illusion or an alternate reality. The feeling of the intense pain I felt when I was beaten up by the Fire Monster returned and I almost regretted it. The kick earlier was so strong that a few of my teeth in my gums are broken. I struggled and climb my way out of the rubble with difficulty. The girl I just rescued warned me about a demon but I did not expect the attack to quickly knock me out of the play.

I stood up and look at the stage. There, I saw Keima is bleeding in his arms as he was pinned down by an invisible ent.i.ty. No wonder I did not see the attack, the enemy is invisible. And if you based the power of his attack earlier, that demon is strong. I am not sure about this if I need to escape or not. If this is the real world, if I got myself in a snag, I can ask for help with my fellow magicians but for this situation, my only options is to run away or fight. Of course, if I run away, that would be an embarra.s.sment with the Council of Magicians and might strip me off with my t.i.tle. But which is much more important; your life or the t.i.tle? However, seeing Keima bleeding and the girl crying as she tried to go to him but can"t even approach due to the restriction that the demon seems to put on her after I was kicked away, I can"t bear to run away. This isn"t my style.

I pick up a stone rubble and infused flames on it. If this is real and if I die in this world, then so be it, however, the demon needs to step over my dead body before he can harm the two.

Hu!

Throwing the stone rubble to the invisible guy, I quickly sprinted away from my location and rush to the invisible guy. Although he was invisible, I can faintly see the silhouette of the demon. I made this discovery a chance for me to retaliate. The stone rubble successfully got hit by the stone and turns his attention to the direction where the stone was thrown. But as soon as the demon look into that direction, I am already inches away from the demon and even though he is invisible, it doesn"t mean that his body is ethereal.

BANG!

The punch made the demon stagger due to the pain he received from my flame infused punch. Although my physical attack is weak, I added a flame attribute to the attack allowing it to be stronger than normal punch. Somehow, when my punch landed to the invisible ent.i.ty, I feel like I struck his face. I tried remembering the height of the invisible demon and when I visualized how tall he was, I quickly made a quick decision and released another flame infused punch to the abdomen part if I am not mistaken.


"Pu!" the demon spurted out blood. It was clearly a green liquid which means the invisible ent.i.ty was indeed a demon.

I gave another punch to its abdomen and I made sure that my punch is filled with strength.

Bang!

The demon who is invisible at first were send flying into the distance. Unlike his kick which sends me flying, the punch I made was indeed pitiable and cannot be compared to the strength of the demon. However, its enough for me to take time to rescue Keima and the girl. I pick up the wounded Keima and the girl with me before I cast Haste. I put them into a safe place before I return to the stage. There was still a few girls caged in the stage and leaving them alone is akin on leaving them to die.

I rushed back to the stage but before I can even reach the stage platform, I was kicked again but this time, I was struck into the abdomen and the strike is strong enough for me to feel like my innards is twisted beyond recognition.

BOOM!

I ended up cras.h.i.+ng into the steel cage that the women were held up. My back hit the cage"s metal bars causing me to feel that my spinal cord has been snapped into two. I coughed up blood more than the amount of blood I coughed out when I was kicked in the face.

"Ack!" I ended up struggling to stand up as I coughed out a mouthful of blood and saliva.

Before I knew it, someone stepped into my back once more, making my back ache more than a tenfold. I coughed out blood once again and tears are welling out my eyes. This is the most painful thing I experienced my whole life and I am feeling that I will be broken to pieces if the ent.i.ty continued to step in my back further.

I looked into the cage and saw that the women are crying and panic stricken. Just by seeing someone suffering made them feel terrified from their future. This made me grit my teeth hard. I need to defeat the demon even if I ended up dead. I made all of my strength into my palm and slowly put them together. I don"t care anymore.

Before I can even cast a spell, I heard Zacharias" voice again.

"Kazuma, you pa.s.sed the test. Let me return you to the real world."

My eyes widened in surprise. I pa.s.sed? Before I knew it, the pain in my back disappeared and the pain I am feeling up until now disappeared without a trace. My vision slowly brightened up and everything is engulfed by the bright light. In instinct, I closed my eyes. Before I knew it, the pleasant air once again returned to my nostrils. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I returned into the former area where I met the twelve councilors.

"Welcome back, so how is the experience of the Tokyo Calamity scenario?" Inumaru, the councilor of the Dog Zodiac asked me with a smile.

"Ah..." I was baffled.

Before I knew it, I opened my mouth and check the teeth in my gums. They are complete, not a single teeth is missing. I checked my abdomen and pressed it several times but I don"t feel any pain. I also checked my spine if it is painful but it is no longer painful.

I looked at the Twelve Councilors and cast a confused look.

"Did you think that everything you experienced in that scenario is real?" Asuza asked with a playful smile on her face.

Zacharias clapped his hands, followed by the others. In the end, all twelve are clapping their hands.

"We commend you for pa.s.sing the scenario with flying colors. As we agreed on, we will give our blessings to you and form your Magician Insignia," Zacharias said and clapped his hands twice before a white magic circle appeared in his palms.

The others also did what Zacharias is doing. The twelve councilors then released their hands together. As they released their hands, light appeared in my left arm and I can slowly see that a gold tattoo appeared in my arm. The image slowly formed and saw that the tattoo is a dragon. A gold dragon.
