862 The real curse of the Grimsbannes

Many stories come with the name Grimsbarne. Most of them were stories of how exceptionally cursed they were, powerful, and born to stand at the peak of the blood hierarchy. These things weren't secrets, especially for those who were born and raised on the mainland, for they grew up in an environment where they were overly aware of the Grimsbanne's existence.

However, there was one minor detail only a few had heard about.

Samael had long accepted that they were cursed, connected to a demon, or what others called descendants of evil. Only today, as he stood before a real demon, had Samael realized all those accusations and rumors were true. But it was much more tragic than horrifying.

Tilly mentioned Samael's children's chances of becoming demons some time ago. Everyone knew Tilly and her antics; she would say one thing but forget about it, leaving everyone hanging. She constantly told Samael about the dangers of their blood and the reason he and his wife, Lilou, left the mainland to seek help from the rest of his clan. It was that time the reversal of time occurred and now he was stuck in this land, standing before this monster with only one thought in mind: to win.

"That is why I patiently waited for this day"

BOOOGSH!

Samael raised his sword, Catharsis, to block the demon's fist, only to realize the force was too great for him. Thus, Samael jumped away upon his sword's contact and created a distance. between himself and his opponent.

"For this day?" he repeated as soon as his feet landed on the broken ground, sneering, "Ah... everything is clear now I see.

The demon grinned from car to car, pulling its dark fist from the cracked floor where it landed. "Back in the day, there was a saying only a Grimsbanne can end the Grimsbanne. Somehow, I agree. Just look at us now."

They were born just like Samael and everyone else.

They were members of the Grimsbanne Clan who didn't choose to enter an eternal slumber. "I had long accepted this world was never fair. That is why when my brother subdued me, and chained me underneath the palace underground; I pledged that when the day comes, I will break free from these chains. And once that day comes, I will judge this world the way it judged me!" The demon's chuckles sent a chill down Samael's spine, giving the latter goosebumps all over his body.

"That day is today... the moment you stepped foot in here, Pride." the demon roared along with its chuckle, only to stop abruptly as it added, "I will take every single seed there is and snuff out all the light of the living. So... fret not for I ought to use every single one of you to good use." The demon didn't waste a second as it slammed its palm against the already broken floor. Seeing its action, Samael instinctively leaped. To Samael's surprise, just as he leaped to avoid the turbulence, the demon swung its arm, hitting Samael to his side with the broken chain around its wrist.

Boogsh!

"Ugh..." Samacl crashed into the wall, landing on the floor along with the rubble. Blood instantly flowed from the side of his head, dripping down his right cyc. Having only one eye open, he watched the gigantic demon slowly face his direction.

"I am only starting" said the demon as it launched another powerful jab in Samael's direction.

BOOGSH!

The demon was wide and large. Stretching its arm was enough to reach the wall of the underground space of this residence. And thus, Samael received that second assault without any time to block it.

Blood spurted out of Samael's mouth, feeling his lungs constrict while his entire body went into shock. The attack didn't stop there as another punch came even before Samael could breathe. The demon launched continuous attacks, making the entire underground space shake.

Cracks all across the place crawled and spread like a spiderweb and within seconds, the underground place and the building above it collapsed.
