Modern World Warlock-Chapter 84: Team Omega’s Growth

After Dante told Megan and Zac that another demon was lurking behind them, the pair turned around and decided to hunt it down while Dante took care of their boss.

The pair noticed that their bodies felt a bit relieved when they got further away from Malgaroth, but they could still sense danger nearby.

When they returned to the hallway covered in ichor, they scanned their surroundings, ignoring the severed body parts stuck to the walls.

Suddenly, Zac felt a presence right next to him, prompting his body to move on its own and placing his chrome bat horizontally in front of him.

There was nothing next to the redhead, but just as he defended himself, a claw strike landed right on his weapon, producing a momentary shower of sparks.

"What the-!?" Zac exclaimed, noticing the shadow demon that had appeared beside him.

Waving his bat upwards, Zac pushed the demon away from him, allowing Megan to pull out her gun and shoot at the monster, hitting him on the ribcage before hiding back in the shadows.

"Th-that’s a shadow demon… I think," Zac muttered, scanning his surroundings to look for the monster.

With her senses sharpened, Megan gazed to the side and fired a random bullet at the wall, confusing the redhead. Just as her bullet made contact, the demon materialized from the shadow behind her.

"Megan!" Zac exclaimed.

However, the woman was prepared for the attack. She moved her head to the side to avoid the demon’s claws and spun around, giving him a roundhouse kick that flung him against the wall.

As the creature quickly composed himself and grabbed his head in both disbelief and pain, Zac rushed at the monster with his bat in hand, his expression showing a hint of nerves while gritting his teeth.

The shadow demon moved back with urgency and avoided Zac’s overhead attack, surprised that a couple of humans were giving him a tough time.

Nonetheless, the redhead’s advance didn’t stop there, following it with a horizontal attack on the demon’s face that broke one of his horns and fangs.

When the demon stood up, his eyes were glowing red from anger, screeching loudly and making the pair cover their ears.

With a quick motion, the demon warped inside the shadows and appeared beside Megan not even a second later, using his claws to stab her.

*Shunk!* The brunette raised her forearm and received the demon’s claws with it, stabbing through her arm and making her clench her fists to endure the pain.

"Heh…" the shadow demon cackled, believing that he had caught the woman.

Thankfully, Megan’s new raid suit was quite durable. Even though it couldn’t fully protect against the sharp claws, it was good enough to reduce the amount of damage she took from it.

When the demon realized that he couldn’t remove his claws from her arm, he gazed back at Megan, who used her other hand to aim at the demon’s head with her gun at point-blank.

"That hurt…" she muttered, her eyes cold and uncaring.

*Bang!* A single bullet came out of her pistol, leaving a gaping hole in the demon’s head before collapsing on the ground.

As the corpse began to turn into dust, the pair noticed that Malgaroth’s ichor covering the whole area was also fading away, making the human body parts that were stuck to it fall on the sewer grounds.

*Euch* Zac gagged, the sight of the severed body parts flopping on the ground giving him a nasty and uncomfortable feeling.

Not even a minute later, Dante arrived at their location, where Zac was holding himself against a wall while trying not to puke.

"Oh, you guys killed it?" the warlock casually asked.

"I shot him in the head… That means he is still alive, right?" Megan replied with a slightly tired tone.

"Kind of. —You sent him back to hell…" he said.

"Will that be a problem later?" the brunette continued.

"I doubt it… What’s he going to do? He is just a mere shadow demon anyway," Dante replied.

The warlock had the intention of destroying the demon’s soul, but he felt better knowing that his two friends managed to hold themselves against the creature and execute him before he got there.

’They may be growing way faster than I expected…’ Dante thought.

When the trio started to walk back to the exit, Camille spoke to them on their earpieces and said that the Kappa Team was already entering the sewers to clean up all the bodies.

’Oh, fuck that job…’ Zac thought, feeling relieved that he was placed in the Omega Team instead.

Outside, the three teenagers, accompanied by Cerberus, who was happily sitting on the girl’s lap, were still waiting for Dante and his group to exit the sewers.

The redhead boy, who went by the name of Tommy, was still unconscious next to his friends, but all of his wounds had been healed.

"Hmmm…" the brown-haired kid hummed as he impatiently tapped his foot on the ground.

"They’ll come out from this side, right?" he asked the girl.

"P-probably… I’m not sure," she replied.

*Woof!* Cerberus happily barked, wagging his tail from side to side.

The girl chuckled at the puppy’s cuteness. "I think he is trying to tell us that they are okay…" she muttered, caressing Cerberu’s back.

Suddenly, the dog abruptly stood up from the girl’s lap and jumped down on the ground, approaching the sewer’s gates with an adorable skip.

*Woof!* Cerberus barked again.

"Hey, buddy!" Dante’s voice could be heard coming from the other side of the gate, alerting the teenagers.

As the trio got out, the puppy jumped on Dante’s arms and licked his cheek, prompting him to try moving his blood-soaked arm away from him.

"Wait, Cerberus—I’m all dirty!" the warlock exclaimed, but the dog ignored his complaints.

The teenagers chuckled at the scene, feeling relieved and happy about seeing their saviors safe and sound.

"D-did you guys see the monster?" The girl asked.

"We did… He won’t be killing anyone else," Dante confidently replied.

*Sigh* "I see…" the teenager muttered, feeling extremely glad—an emotion that didn’t go unnoticed by Dante.
