Modern World Warlock-Chapter 54: Obsidian Arm

After Dante created a massive diversion in the front side of the mansion, Megan used that moment to stealthily enter right before the security system locked all doors and windows behind a metal screen.

Finding herself inside a small kitchen with nobody working on it, the brunette bolted out of the room and rushed through a somewhat narrow hallway.

["Those must be the servants’ rooms…"] Camille commented on Megan’s earpiece.

Thankfully, all of the guards were busy going to the front to deal with Dante, so the woman was able to breeze through the mansion without encountering anyone.

On the other side of the hallway, she passed by the dining room and found a set of stairs leading to the second floor.

While the mansion only had two floors, they were quite expansive, with each of them having dozens of rooms and hallways that were easy to get lost in.

As she ran up the stairs, a pair of suited men appeared from around the corner, seemingly wanting to go down. However, they weren’t able to point their weapons at Megan before she grabbed their heads and slammed them on the ground simultaneously.

The red lights of the alarm were the only illumination in the hallway. Still, the darkness wasn’t a problem for the brunette anymore, so she kept moving confidently to the opposite side where the guards were going.

Suddenly, as she bolted past a random door, she quickly jumped to avoid getting hit by it as it was blasted away from its hinges with an incredible force.

"Hmm?" Megan hummed as she gazed back, seeing a massive monster with an obsidian arm that looked like it was about to burst from its size.

["What the hell is that!?"] Camille exclaimed on the woman’s earpiece, unable to get a clear picture from Megan’s camera as it was pretty dark.

However, the brunette could clearly detail the monster, making her hesitate for a moment.

It had the appearance of a man that seemed to have half of its face warped with its own shoulder, which carried a massive arm clad in obsidian, armor-like skin.

The arm made his body look completely asymmetrical, and the skin on his face was perpetually being pulled to the side, giving him an eerie and uncanny appearance that made Megan’s skin crawl.

Nevertheless, she recognized the obsidian skin, as the demon that killed her father looked similar, except the demon’s body looked much less deformed than the disgusting beast that stood before her.

Letting out a deafening screech, the monster rushed towards Megan with his armored arm in front, wanting to tackle the woman.

With a sharp gaze and concise movement, the brunette stepped aside and avoided her opponent’s mindless advance, quickly pulling out her pistol from the back of her belt and shooting the monster in the ribs as it rushed past her. Still, it was to no avail.

Turning around and waving his obsidian arm back in a quick motion that destroyed the walls beside him, the monster sent a flurry of debris toward Megan, which caused her to raise her arms in a defensive stance to protect herself.

However, the monster followed it up with a tackle from the same obsidian arm, launching Megan back and making her crash into a side table with a vase that was entirely shattered.

["Meg!"] Camille shouted in her earpiece as the monster approached her for another attack with the intention of finishing her off.

Nonetheless, as he went to grip her body, Megan quickly spun and grappled his obsidian arm, making the monster wave it around frantically to get her off.

When the monster started smashing his arm that the brunette was hugging tightly against the windows, she pulled out her gun and pointed it at the monster’s face, who couldn’t protect himself as she was riding his only defense method.

Crystal shards rained on Megan’s body, but her aim didn’t budge from its position, shooting a single bullet to the deformed head that splattered the walls behind them with his blood, instantly killing him.

*Sigh…* Megan tiredly exhaled, rolling to the side off of the monster’s body and stretching up.

["Meg, status!?"] Camille said loudly on her earpiece.

"I’m fine…" Megan replied, gritting her teeth as the cuts on her back stung.

["You are on the east side of the mansion. Dante is on the west, but he is moving towards you. Try to meet up in the middle,"] The handler directed.

Camille, who was sitting behind several monitors, could see their location through the GPS on their phones. However, she still didn’t know the exact layout of the mansion, so her directions were purely based on intuition.

Dante, who had just killed a dozen guards, went up the stairs to the second floor and sensed Megan’s umbra on the opposite side.

However, as soon as he was about to rush towards her, he felt another eerie presence coming from an unknown source, catching his attention and making him turn around.

From the darkness of the hallway, a man with a massive obsidian arm came running at high speeds toward the warlock, who calmly tilted his head laterally with confusion.

"What the hell are you…?" Dante casually asked, but the humanoid monster didn’t have the ability to communicate, as it simply kept mindlessly moving forward.

When the monster got close enough, Dante took a single step to the side with his hands in his pockets and kicked him on the ribs, flinging him to the wall.

"Hmm, I see…" Dante muttered, detailing the humanoid monster as it got up from the floor.

Just like the one that had attacked Megan, the man’s face had warped into his massive, obsidian arm, giving him an unproportionate body size and disgusting appearance.

"How much demon blood did you drink…?" Dante asked himself, knowing that the monster wouldn’t respond.

"Well, not like you can say anything…" he continued, shrugging and pointing his palm at the monster, who was starting to rush back at him.

"Destro," the warlock chanted, destroying the monster’s body and the wall behind him, leaving a single severed obsidian hand on the floor.
