Seven Sins System Chapter 170. Hang Out With My Nemesis II

Due to my nonchalant tone, Aria turned to me and stared at my face intently. "Is something bothering you?" she asked innocently, her worry clear in her voice.

I turned to her, feigning confusion. "Huh?"

“You look worried about something. Did what happened this morning worry you?” she asked again, her tone filled with concern.

I quickly reassured her, "No. But I do indeed have something on my mind, but that is not the case.”

"Are you sure?" she pressed, her concern evident. “If you feel uneasy with my identity and what happened this morning, I can help you forget about it,” she offered, her voice filled with a hint of what she wanted to do to me.

But I couldn't let her do it. "Ah, no thanks," I quickly replied, trying to keep my tone light. "I'd rather know what the dangers are around me than walk around like an idiot," I answered, trying to make it clear that I preferred to know everything.

As we walked down the street, my eyes scanned the area, searching for any sign of the demos. The streets were getting emptier. The chatter and honking horns background noise were getting faded. As we approached the small public park, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I had a hunch that this was where John had summoned the demons, and my suspicions were confirmed as an announcement appeared in front of me.

[Anomaly power detected!]

[Estimated: Demons]

'Bingo.' I knew my guess was right. My heart raced as I realized that I had finally found the source of the dark energy.

I glanced at Aria, who had suddenly halted her steps. I could see the shock on her face as her eyes darted toward the park. I was sure that she had realized it too.

But before we could react, the sound of hurried footsteps caught our attention. We turned in the original direction and saw a teenage girl running towards us in a hurry.

She was clearly in a state of distress. Her skirt was not neatly attached and her pants were still on her knees. Her hazelnut long hair was in a wild mess, and her pale face was filled with fear. As she approached us, she was gasping for breath, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath and fixed her clothes. It was clear she just had sex with someone. But other than that, and some dirt on her clothes and skin, she was fine. And I was sure she wasn’t from the academy.

"Help me! Please!" she exclaimed; her voice filled with desperation. "I-I was in the park and something attacked me!" Her words were in a jumbled mess. Her fear was clear in every word. ”B-But I don’t know what it is! And, and the tapping sound! It kept following me, but I didn’t see anything! I-I think it’s a ghost,” she said again.

With determination, Aria took the initiative and spoke with conviction. "Both of you. Wait here, okay?" she instructed, her voice firm and unwavering. But before she could take a step forward, the young girl caught her wrist in a desperate grip, stopping her in her tracks.

Tears streamed down the girl's face as she begged with sobs, "My boyfriend. That thing got my boyfriend! Please save him!”

Aria's eyes filled with a clear and confident determination as she replied, "Leave it to me!” Without hesitation, she ran towards the park, her feet pounding against the pavement.

I knew that Aria didn't want me to follow her, to keep me out of danger. But from what the girl said, I immediately caught how I joined the battle naturally.

Without turning to the girl, I spoke again. "Miss, you said you kept hearing strange tapping sounds following you, right?"

“Yes.” Her eyes were wide with fear. Her trembling hands moved to fix her clothes.

That answer confirmed my suspicions. A demon had followed her here and was nearby. He was hiding between the buildings and didn't make any noise to ambush us, yet Aria went straight to the park due to the panic.

"I think something is following you. You should go now. There is a hospital near here. Just go straight and you will find it," I instructed her, my voice firm and reassuring. "I will tell your boyfriend to go there after we manage to save him," I added.

The young woman nodded, her eyes wide with fear. "O-Okay. I will call the police along the way," she stammered, her voice trembling. Without further ado, she turned and began to run as fast as she could.

As I expected, as soon as she began to move, the demon that had been hiding and spying on us also began to move, chasing after her. But I was not about to let it catch her. Quickly, I opened my palm and used my skill.

‘Telekinesis!’ With a flick of my fingers, a small rock jumped between my fingers smoothly.

I concentrated my strength on my fingertips, focusing a bit of my strength on the small stone before I turned and flicked my fingers, launching the stone at something invisible, ten meters in front of me.

The stone flew through the air, a blur of motion as it hurtled toward its target. And as it struck, a loud thud sounded.

- Bam!

With a crash, the small stone that I had launched struck its invisible target. The impact was so powerful that the stone shattered into a shower of small pebbles, a testament to the force behind my attack. But even as the pebbles rained down on the pavement, I knew that the demon had not been completely defeated.

[You have hit a demon for 28 HP]

I let out a long, disappointed sigh and glanced at my palm. 'Too bad my powers haven't fully returned yet,' I thought. Otherwise, I should be able to kill a low-level demon like him with one stone just like that. Well, I didn't mean to kill him in the first place after all.
