My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 19: I will finish what I started.

Meanwhile, Jason, the other torturer, watched the scene with a mix of shock and terror.

He instinctively stepped back, retreating a few paces.

The confident smile that had previously adorned his face was gone, replaced by an expression of pure disbelief.

Vergil, however, was not focused on him—at least, not yet.

The two women remained still.

Katharina was still processing Vergil's order not to interfere...

This order was much worse than the orders to say something that affected them physically, perversely.

This order was absolute.

As if a king had commanded, and they could only follow quietly. She had never seen Vergil like this, so consumed by fury after all these years of watching him hidden...

'This is different...'

Ada, in turn, watched silently, her eyes fixed on Vergil, as she tried to maintain her usual calm, but even she was feeling a slight shiver seeing how furious the man was...

'His energy is doubling in size,' she thought, analyzing the man's body.

Vergil landed gently on the ground after the attack, his presence dominating the room. He looked at Jason, who was now visibly trembling.

'Tsk, the most psychotic are always the most useless,' he thought.

Vergil turned to the man, whose name he didn't know... "It was you, wasn't it?" he murmured, seeing how Roxanne seemed to be dying slowly, then he approached the chair where the man was watching him...

Jason took a step back, hesitating.

He knew he was completely out of his league. He could handle Vergil, but there was something going against all his reality, a fear so deep he didn't know what to do.

'Fight or flee?' he questioned himself... However, before he could decide between fighting or fleeing.

A huge shadow fell over the room again.

It was Leon, falling back through the hole in the ceiling, his body broken and bloodied. He hit the ground with an impact that made the floor tremble. He had been around the hole, which gave way, causing the fall.

Vergil barely looked at the man and turned to Katharina and Ada, who were still immobile due to the order.

"Free her and protect her, no pointless fights." Vergil said, and the two finally managed to move, quickly removing the chains from her, even burning their hands while handling the divine energy chains.

"Rox, wake up," Ada said, patting her face, while Katharina quickly searched for the right places to break what was restraining and draining her demonic powers.

"Get her out of here." Vergil ordered again, and Katharina complied, "Take her outside, it won't take long." He commented, his eyes completely out of control.

'He... awakened something... something is wrong with him.' Katharina thought, among the three she was the most advanced in understanding demonic energy, due to her mother being... better not to talk about her mother now.

Katharina, however, knew something... 'That little test the exorcist did made him learn to use demonic energy, but now... this energy output... is simply out of the ordinary,' she thought.

Unfortunately, she couldn't stand still thinking about it; she just turned and removed the restraints from Roxanne's feet, leaving only the shackles.

As they worked to help the girl...

Vergil walked slowly over to Leon, who was lying on the floor, coughing up blood and desperately trying to catch his breath. Vergil crouched beside him, his black eyes shining with relentless anger.

"You should have stayed out of this; you had a chance to leave the city alive... but now..." Vergil said calmly as he grabbed Leon by the collar and lifted him off the ground.

"You will pay for everything you did to her." He cast a quick glance at Roxanne, whose eyes were now fixed on Vergil. For the first time, their eyes met... She felt something different, not just her, both felt it before Vergil threw Leon back through the hole.

"First, you wait outside..." Vergil said, tossing the man up again. This time, however, he didn't fall back. He then turned to the man, Jason...

Vergil didn't need to say a single word; he simply appeared in front of the man and delivered a punch...

The sound of the punch was so clear that the breaking of the man's ribs could be heard, but it wasn't just one or two... a sequence of strong punches to his stomach, chest, and then his face, each blow resonating in the room with a muffled sound, never giving him time to scream because his body had no air left for that.

Jason's face quickly became a mask of blood and bruises, but Vergil didn't stop. No... he wanted more...

His punches grew stronger, more precise, and with even worse impact...

"Don't you think it's better to stop him?" Ada questioned as she removed Roxanne from her restraints, finally removing all the divine energy around her... "Let him be... it's better this way." Katharina said while helping Roxanne to stand, "Let's take her upstairs." She said, and Ada nodded. The two then let their black wings emerge and took Rox, one on each side, flying her out.

As they ascended, they saw Leon... Leon, watching everything, decided that the only sensible option was to flee.

'I have to get out of here!' He was already outside, so it was just a matter of running. He turned to do so, but before he could, Katharina appeared in front of him. She looked at him for a moment, her eyes glowing with a cruel light.

"Where do you think you're going?" she asked, her voice laden with disdain. Leon froze in place, realizing there was no escape.

"Please... I... I didn't do anything! It was him who tortured her; I have nothing to do with this!" Leon pleaded, fear clear in his voice.

Katharina tilted her head to the side as if pondering for a moment. "You stood by and watched," she finally said. "And that's enough." With terrifying speed, she raised her hand and delivered a punch that slammed Leon against the wall with enough force to break several bones. He collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain, unable to move.

"Ughh!" he roared in pain, 'The artifact!' he thought, as a golden light helped him recover from the impact.

"You will wait there... quietly, until my husband returns." She said, her eyes glowing crimson red. Then turning, she went back to help Ada.

Meanwhile, Vergil finally stopped beating Jason. The Executor's body lay inert, barely recognizable after the beating he had received, his face... deformed. Vergil released him, letting him fall to the ground with a dull thud. Jason was still breathing, but it was clear he wouldn't be a threat for much longer, and he wouldn't want to take the risk.

He pressed his foot on the man's head, who was already begging to die. "I'll see you in hell." He said before finally crushing Jason's head, causing the entire floor to be drenched in blood and brain matter.

It was a truly grotesque, disgusting, and even macabre sight. However... for Vergil... It didn't stir any feelings within him.

Any emotion, if seen in his eyes, was absent; instead, he only found it disgusting that his sneakers were stained with blood.

His fury was so great... that he didn't even realize he had killed a person, taken a life... It was just... trivial.

"The nature of a demon? Tsk, as if I would care about killing a vile worm like this... I'm just cleaning up God's mess." He said, spitting his anger onto the corpse.

He left the body there... the man's disfigured body with his head shattered into a thousand pieces, and leaped out of the Bunker, with only one thing on his mind... Killing the remaining man.

'One more left...' Despite his anger, he was still very rational, thinking of a plan of action to deal with Leon... 'I'm stronger now... much stronger...' He thought. It wasn't his body, but something within him... a latent energy coursing through all his veins, something he felt before when fighting Leon, but now...

Now it was the real thing... His body seemed to be burning with the desire to continue what he so wanted... this energy followed his command; if he wanted something, it would make it happen... it was even strange to think, but... it was as if his blood was entirely under his control.

It was a feeling of power... that left Vergil intoxicated...

When he emerged from the hole, Vergil looked at Roxanne, who was now struggling to keep her eyes open. He approached her, his hands softening as he touched the shackles that bound her. Although he had removed her from there, the girls had only dealt with the chains. With a simple gesture, he broke them, freeing her.

"It's over, the worm who hurt you is just a corpse now," he said, brushing his hand over her face. He felt her flinch for a millisecond, but she stopped and allowed his hand to reach her face, despite her fear. "I'm here, it's okay?" he said.

It was their first meeting, but... there was a connection there... Very strange, but it was there... "Wait here, I'll finish what I started." Vergil said, turning away...

Seeing the man illuminated by a light of salvation, while his body seemed to be healing, slowly...

'It won't be like last time.' He thought.
