Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 268: Mortal Men

"No way."

"He killed him."

"Just like that."

"The Demon killed a personal duke of the King!"

"It’s over."

Everyone saw the destruction of Xavier.

The Demon crushed his head and no one could do anything to stop him.

"It’s because of you. You killed Xavier!" Rower shouted.

"Yes. This man killed a high Duke. He provoked the Demon!" Jamal joined the fray as well.

Their words were heard by the people all around the kingdom and they agreed with them.

Pablo was the one who instigated the Demon in the first place.

He was the one who challenged the Being that he would die by Xavier’s hands.

"Yes! He killed him!"

"The high dukes would have won together but one is dead now."

"All because of that man!"

"He is a traitor."

"Traitor!"

"Traitor!"

"Traitor!"

People were enraged and at the core of all this, they all believed the real killer of Xavier was Pablo.

"They are calling you a traitor. The people believed these two dukes, detective." The Demon laughed as he shared the latest news with Pablo.

"Th-that’s impossible. I honestly believed Xavier would kill you. Nevertheless, we still have three more high dukes. They are the strongest. We still have a chance. You haven’t won, Demon. We can still win!"

Pablo said some more provocative things and that only angered the high dukes.

"Whose side are you?"

"Why do you want us to die?"

Jamal and Rower both cursed Pablo.

The King was out of his wits and Adolf Hustler was glad his name didn’t get taken.

Boulder was the only one who didn’t say anything bad to Pablo and Pablo didn’t ignore it. He would keep it in mind.

The Demon, however, didn’t ignore Pablo’s words. He took them very seriously.

"So the high dukes are the source for all your hopes. Alright, I shall kill one more of them. Then you all can finally despair."

The Demon made his intentions clear.

’Suit yourself.’

Pablo liked the development as well.

"No! Don’t listen to him. We can’t win!" Rower blurted out the truth. He lost all his pride. He didn’t want to die.

Nevertheless, it was…

"Too late."

WHISH!

The Demon arrived in front of Rower.

Rower shivered.

"I won’t kill you too fast. I want everyone to see."

"Dammit."

Rower bent his knees and when stood against death, he would use his power. No matter the result, he would try to survive.

He disappeared in front of the Demon’s eyes.

"He used his Ego. He can run away." The King said.

No one saw Rower moving.

No one except the Demon.

"Who can run away?"

The Demon outstretched his hand to his right side and everyone heard a groan.

And before they knew it, Rower was already in the Demon’s clutches.

’Welp, he wasn’t fast at all.’

Pablo figured something like this would happen. The Demon defeated Rower’s super speed.

"It takes time to achieve super speed. I caught you before you can run faster."

The Demon shared his tactic which didn’t matter. Rower was doomed one way or another.

The Being held the high duke by his throat and the man couldn’t move. He was already choking.

But before meeting his end, Rower used his remaining strength to turn his head at Pablo.

’Don’t waste your last words on me.’

"I hope you die."

’And he did.’

Rower said the same thing what Xavier said before dying.

Pablo didn’t respond and the Demon floated in the air.

His feet left the ground and with Rower on his hand, he reached in front of the eyeball camera.

Everyone now saw the Demon’s face from up close and sure enough, it sent chills down their spines.

"Pay attention to your high duke, Humans."

The Demon moved back and shoved Rower’s face in the camera. He was now holding the high duke with his hairs.

Everyone saw Rower. The painful, out of breath Rower.

The Demon held Rower’s hairs with his left hand and he held Rower’s right shoulder with his right hand.

’That’s a good way to kill.’

Pablo understood the Demon’s intention and everyone else also got it as the Being showed them himself.

The Demon applied pressure to both Rower’s hairs and his shoulder.

From his left hand, he pulled Rower’s hairs towards the sky and with his right hand, he pushed Rower’s shoulder to the ground.

He applied intense opposite pressure to two things on Rower’s body and as a result, Rower’s head came off from his neck.

In front of the camera, Rower’s head detached from his body.

The Demon killed Rower just by sheer strength and he made everyone watch it. He gave them a zoomed out view.

He let go of the headless and lifeless body of Rower as it fell on the ground.

He only kept hold of Rower’s head and he showed it to everyone.

"There you have it. I killed your high duke on a whim."

Demon stared at the eyeball camera, his red eyes conveyed only terror.

"Do you all still have hope?"

He asked the question to the whole Forza kingdom and by all means, he wanted only one answer.

"No."

"It’s over."

"We will suffer because of some royals."

"It’s the end."

"Yes. It’s the end. Despair. Lose your hope and surrender to me. It’s all over."

The Demon burned Rower’s head and laughed.

He floated in the air and laughed at the mortals beneath him. He was at the top.

He was waiting for everyone to lose hope. He was waiting for everyone to give in. He was waiting for everyone to give up.

"I have finally attained peace."

The Demon reveled in the moment of superiority. He was the Epitome of Authority now.

However, the Demon wasn’t the only one who was waiting for that.

There was someone else as well and that someone stepped forward.

"Wake up to reality."

The Demon darted his eyes at the man.

"Hmm? What is it, detective?"

There was only one man whom the Demon would address as a detective—Pablo Castillo.

"I will fight you now." Pablo declared.

The Demon’s lips curled up.

"You mortal men are comical. You have no idea what you are talking about."

"It’s you who have no idea about Men. You see…"

Pablo removed his shirt, exposing his chest as he looked the Demon in the eye.

"Men are brave."

WHISH!

The Demon vanished in the air and in the next moment, he was in front of Pablo.

"You are talking big for som-"

"Shhhhh…" Pablo put his finger on his lips.

Everyone went silent.

The people watching on their screens, the people standing in front of the King’s castle and even the Demon.

Pin drop silence ensued and only Pablo broke it with his next words..

"A God is coming."
