Rise of the Rejected Deity from Chaos-Chapter 126 125: Fifth Demon Down | The Sixth Demon

The barrier shattered into dust as the sword continued its deadly motion, pushing through the demon's chest with ferocious speed and bursting out the other side—its full form drenching in the demon's blood.

The sword curved, shooting straight to Seiya—leaving behind a gaping wound on the demon's chest.

Feeling his sword's presence, Seiya opened his palm in wait and the sword came into it.

My Lord, Kaeliyus called, his tone laced with relief. After the demon enclosed Seiya within the barrier, he lost every connection with Seiya—he couldn't communicate through telepathy, so he had been worried sick.

The demon, frozen in place from shock and confusion, spat out blood. The gaping hole on his chest pooled blood onto the ground beneath him—the severe impact had not only cut through one of his hearts but two.

This caused the demon's mind to reel with raw fear as he was left with only one heart—the danger too high to overlook.

"How?" The demon's voice quivered, eyes trembling within their sockets as beads of sweat formed on his face.

His mind failed to comprehend things, and the danger shunning his whole nerves did nothing but add to the overwhelming emotion that was overriding his senses.

Seiya, who couldn't see the demon, could at least sense the disturbance in his tone. Swinging his sword aside with a sharp swoosh, Seiya approached the demon with deliberate, unhurried pace—after all, he could finally hear his surroundings—he could finally hear the demon's heart pulsations.

"What..what are you doing?" The demon asked, inching back cautiously. "You know I can just reinstate the barrier and have you trapped once more…" He threatened when Seiya's steps neither faltered nor stopped—he drew back with each step forward Seiya took.

"It wouldn't matter if you did," Seiya replied, voice calm and steady. "Because I can just have my sword cut out your remaining heart."

The demon's eyes opened wide, his spine chilling with fear when Seiya said 'remaining heart' and not 'remaining hearts'.

Does that mean Seiya knew how many hearts he had remaining? How? Does Seiya possess some sort of ability that makes him know the amount of hearts a demon possesses? Or was it mere speculation? Probably from gauging his strength?

The demon's mind reeled, cold sweat drenching his form as his head dipped, staring into the ground.

"My sword," Seiya continued, prompting the demon's head to snap up at him, a bit confused. "You wanted to know how it cut through your barrier without me voicing any command, didn't you?" Seiya asked as if he could see the confusion etched on the demon's face.

Without waiting for a response from the demon, Seiya carried on. "Thinking the only way to issue a command is by voicing it out, was a wrong judgement on your part," Seiya remarked. "Even though I lacked the voice to speak out my commands, I still had my mind," he stated.

The demon's eyes stared wide at Seiya, trying to comprehend what he was getting at.

"I'm saying," Seiya continued, adjusting his blood soaked blindfold. "I simply had to command it within me, in my mind, through telepathy," he informed calmly.

Both Kaeliyus and the demon reeled in confusion—both stemming from different concerns.

Kaeliyus was a bit confused that Seiya's command through telepathy had reached him, while he couldn't reach Seiya through it at all while he was enclosed within the barrier.

Kaeliyus, however, quickly dismissed his confusion, concluding it had been possible for Seiya to reach him because he was far greater than him, a mere servant to the young Lord.

On the other hand, the demon could only plunge deeper into his pool of confusion. He had thought his barrier, otherwise known as his space or temple, could completely block out everything from the outside—separating them entirely from the world. But this that had happened, just proved him wrong.

Going through everything he had gathered on Seiya during his fight with the previous demons, the demon shook with nervousness before Seiya.

Was there more Seiya could do, after all? More powerful things than his eyes, which grant him a 360° field of vision and pierce through anything. Things other than the power his sword grants him.

The demon's heart palpitated loudly within him—the gaping hole had long since healed though there was no way to recover or regenerate his severed hearts. His head dipped as he quivered, his mind racing over multiple different things.

"Are you sure you have the time to mull over things?" Seiya's calm voice pierced the demon's ears, jolting him back to his senses.

The demon's head snapped up at Seiya, alert. However, his eyes didn't meet Seiya at the distance where he had been but right in front of him, at his face—sword poised to strike.

The demon's eyes spread wide in utter dismay at his speed, but before he could even process things, Seiya's sword struck—swiping horizontally through the demon's upper body in a clean, precise cut that severed it from his lower body.

The cut neatly split the demon in two, from his chest, slicing his heart in two.

The demon collapsed to the ground, his sundered body a mere inches apart. His eyes were struck wide, staring at Seiya—confused how Seiya had precisely sliced his heart when he'd been blinded.

Was he just that good, or was it his sword that had taken the lead to assist its master?

Seiya's gaze cast down at the dying demon, silent for a moment before speaking softly in a calm voice. "My precision is just that good."

The demon's eyes widened more as he stared up at Seiya, the light in his eyes gradually fading. A small defeated smile graced his lips as he muttered, "he was just that good," before his eyes fluttered shut.

Seiya's sword slipped from his hand to the ground, his knees crashing down as his head fell back—deep breaths escaping him.

"This will be more fun than I'd thought," he sighed, feeling the breeze brush against his face that was lifted.

My Lord, Kaeliyus called softly with reverence. Don't tell me you're ready planning on going to the next demon despite your state. Kaeliyus inquired, his mind racing at Seiya's risky approach to the battle.

Exhaling through his mouth, Seiya released a long, whooshing breath. "Going?" he asked softly. "He's already waiting!"

Tilting his head to the side, he added, "and he's strong."
