Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?



Jenny gripped her father's hand, her eyes still flared on the massive floor-to-ceiling window to her left. 

Their group of superheroes looked like ants compared to the hundreds of giant monsters salivating at every turn.

"Dad... will they be alright?"

"Of course, they will." Elric thinned his lips, soothing his daughter's worries away. He prayed they did. They were their only hope out of this mess!

Boom!

Haru's card sent an exploding wave, as it boomeranged its way across the tens of creatures surrounding him. But he dared not decelerate his victory. 

GRAWW!

Many creatures danced ominously, as they suddenly took caution, with hate brooding in their eyes. 

Kill him! Kill him! Kill this mortal! 

The words were etched into their minds like a lullaby they couldn't get rid of. 

Haru's eyes narrowed as he sought to pinpoint their weaknesses. 

With a flick of his wrist, he threw 4 deadly cards that vibrated strangely. 

"Sonic BOOM!"

The weaker creatures had their hidden hearts explode, kidding them in one go! But of course, there were tougher fires to kill. 

Suddenly, the air became heavy with malevolence, as a drop, guttural noise resonated from the crowd of weaklings. 

"Human... you are mine!"

Zing!~

A half-bull, half-spider creature, made its already sharp spider legs grow three times longer.

It was a menacing demon, with 3 eyes on its bullhead, and a chest that seemed to naturally look like someone had slashed it to death. 

Its eyes were white like a possessed being, with bluish veins crawling on the white palate. 

Rotting couldn't describe its current state. Its body, though juicy, still looked like a mummified animal, twisted and deformed. 

With a heavy grunt, the creature's bull muscles expanded, with its aura growing stronger. 

"Human! You smell so good!"

BOOM!

A heavy force from the clash sent several creatures flying back. What was power? This was power!

The bull spider had its front legs smashed on Haru's card shield. Haru had enlarged one of his cards in the nick of time, creating a shield armor. 

Haru's eyes widened, as his brain quickly went to work. 

Think fast!

~Pitsh! Pitsh! Pitsh!

Haru rolled as fast as he could, watching the many spider feet attempt to stump his way.

The bull spider's laugh was so disturbing, it could make the dead wish to die again. 

~Hahhahahahahahahahaha

"Foolish mortal! You are but a speck of dust to my kind."

Bam! 

One of its sharp legs smashed into the ground, raising heaps of rotting soil high up. For a moment, the creature fell into deep arrogance, watching Haru struggle to evade not only its attacks but other creatures too. 

"How pitiful, you are mortal. Do you truly believe you can stand against us all?"

Haru kicked an eyeball monster, raising his shield to block another attack from the bull spider. 

Bam!

"You might be different, but don't you see your flimsy weapons are no match for our superior strength? Face it human, all you can do against me is defend!"

Haru blew a few strands of hair off his face with a coy smile. "Really?"

Charging up his qi into all 4 cards between his fingers, Haru moved his hands like a magician, turning 4 into 1.

But when he moved his hands as though throwing a yo-yo downwards, all 4 cards not only revealed themselves but also seemed to be connected by an invisible string.

Haru kicked his heels, appearing several feet high with an all-knowing smile. 

Drrrch!~

Blue streaks of lightning sparks appeared on the cards, as they expanded several times their size.

Haru stood on one of them, his eyes also leaking streaks of lightning from them too.

"Lightning Slash! Charge of 10,000 Heavenly volts!"

Is that all?

The bull spider sneered, readying itself to counter and destroy the incoming attack. But after moving its feet and sending out a powerful wave attack of its own, its overly arrogant smile suddenly froze. 

How can this be? How can the attack be so fast?

Pouf~

The bull spider felt a chronic pain engulf its being, as all 6 legs were cut from its knees. 

There seems to be poison laced in the attack, as the yellow streaks of lighting turned golden after slashing his legs.

ARHHHH!

ARHHHH!

ARHHHH!

"Asshole! Bloody son of a human b**ch!" The bull spider cursed seeing the yellow streaks of light spread from his severed knee into its bloodstream, making his veins pop and protrude in agony.

By now, it fully understood it was dealing with an exorcist.

An Exorcist! Can you believe it?!

If he lived to tell the tale in the underworld, many might think it was coo-coo without proof. Worst, they might make it think it was becoming scared of humans, which would ruin its reputation. 

The creature blinked all 3 of its eyes excessively, knowing it wasn't a dream. 

But why were there exorcists in this world? Can anyone tell why it wasn't briefed on there being exorcists yet?

Could it be the one called Loki had betrayed their dark princes and is now working with the heavenly ones for fun? Was it to mess with them?

Suddenly, its brain began conjuring all sorts of plots, wishing it could find a way to warn its dark masters against Loki. 

Why? Because that bastard was the only one who could do something like send Exorcists here.

No! No! 

It didn't want to die! It still hasn't climbed to the ranks yet!

The bull spider struggled to stand, grabbing other smaller features and throwing them Haru's way. But no matter how it struggled, its death was imminent.

After all, how could Haru let it go?

"Damn you, human. Why don't you just die? I implore you to let me go if you know what's good for you.... listen here. I can give you anything you want. Riches, women, countries, you name it... Just let me go and I promise to never appear in this world again!"

"Let you go?" Haru chuckled, calmly sitting on a flying card. "How can I believe the words of a demon?"

With a flick of a wrist, Haru sent the giant bull spider burning in flames. 

Looking in the distance, he saw an open space, with over 500 creatures dead, with Grandmaster at the center. And standing before him was a truly terrifying beast. 

If this were a video game, Jaru would call it the final Boss!
