Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Pavel and Rhea were hugging each other tightly, and neither of them wanted to let go.

"Say, Pavel," Rhea looked up at Pavel's face and asked, "When exactly did you fall in love with me?"

  "Hmm~ I wouldn't answer that in normal conditions, but I guess It won't harm me to tell you now."

After a brief pause, Pavel continued, "It was when Zeus was hunting me down."

"But that was… I was even there for long…" Rhea muttered.

"Yes. But you see… everyone was trying to kill me. Evey race wanted to annihilate me because I was a sacred being. But, you were different."

"How? I tried to kill you too, though," Rhea remarked.

"Yes, you did. But that fight… was different. You see, whoever tried to kill me, I always wished they would never come back or try to hunt me again. But after fighting you, it was the first time I wanted someone to come back again. I wanted you to come back again so that I could fight you."

"And I did," Rhea stated.

"Yes. You came back with your other friends. Then you came back again and again. We fought for months, and that's where I decided to take a male form so that I could ravage you."

"But I soon realized how feelings and relationships worked. I had fallen in love with you, and I couldn't bring myself to harm you. So I stalked you and followed you. Then you got angry with me, and I had no idea what to do. I was so lost, and I thought you hated me."

"I was on the verge of becoming evil, but then Rosie gave me some tips to impress you. I followed her tips, but I didn't know if you were impressed or not."

"You always followed Zeus like a shadow and never missed a chance to talk with him. You were with him all the time, and that angered me. So I tried to kill him, but he survived."

"However, you found out about me and tried to kill me using alchemy. I… I had never seen you that angry. You looked like a demoness."

"I was honestly scared of you. Then, you let Zeus decide what to do with me. I was expecting him to kill me like he killed all his other enemies, but unexpectedly, he forgave me."

"I had no idea why he forgave me, but that incident made me realize that if I ever died, I would never get to see you again."

"All those times before I met you, I wasn't afraid of dying; I didn't even know what it meant to die. But meeting you made me realize everything. My life changed because of you, and I am glad you came to kill me that day."

"Since then, every day of my life has been amazing, and the day you first kissed me was the happiest day of my life."

"Our lives changed since that day, and so did our relationship. Then we did various things and eventually got married," he chuckled.

"It feels it all happened yesterday, and no time has passed," he uttered with a distant smile on his face: "But, my time has ended now."

He wiped Rhea's tears and said in a calm voice with the happiest smile on his face: "I love you, Rhea. Thanks for loving me back."

"You too… Thank you for loving me." Rhea burst into tears, but she didn't stop speaking: "Thank you for keeping up with my selfish desires and terrible personality. Thank you… Thank you for everything."

They brought their faces together to kiss; however, their fates were not kind to them.

A sharp claw pierced Pavel from behind and slammed him up and down.

"Pavel!"

It was the monster from before.

'I thought we had killed it!'

Rhea placed her hand on the horizon, and a giant tree bound the monster within its grasp. 

Pav freed himself from the monster's claw and fell beside Rhea.

"Pavel!" Rhea yelled with an anxious look on her face.

She was about to have a mental breakdown.

"We… we have to destroy… the monster's core…"

"Pavel! Pavel!"

Rhea couldn't comprehend the situation and started yelling for Pavel.

The monster's head was still cleaved into two, but it had several eyes left, including its massive core somewhere in its body.

Pavel didn't care about the hole in his body and tried to protect Rhea. But the monster, however, dashed at the carriage.

Emilia and Asteria were sleeping in the carriage, and it wasn't protected by a barrier or spell.

Pavel conjured his spear and threw it at the monster's leg, but the spear disappeared halfway.

Pavel fell on his knees as his body began to fade away.

"Pavel!"

Pavel had used all his life force, and he had no powers left.

"Pavel!"

Rhea was having a mental breakdown.

Pavel grabbed Rhea's hand with all his remaining strength and placed it on the horizon.

"Protect… the… car...raige…"

An enormous wall emerged from the ground and blocked the monster's path.

The monster banged its cleaved head on the wall to break it, but it didn't even crack.

Enraged, the monster dashed at Rhea and Pavel in a fury.

Rhea hugged Pavel and closed her eyes. She didn't let go of Pavel even though he was practically dead.

She wanted to be with him in his last moments.

Pavel watched as the monster dashed towards them. He wanted to push Rhea to save her, but he did have enough strength even to lift his finger.

He was helpless, and he couldn't even protect the person he wanted to protect the most.

He wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't move his eyelids.

The monster jumped and crushed Rhea and Pavel under its feet, or so would have happened if Nero hadn't come at the last moment.

He slapped the monster so hard that its entire body— along with its core was obliterated with the surrounding trees and mountains.
