Chapter 250 At the top of the food chain 2

**Few minutes back**

Amelia stood in the window of the motel room, staring blankly in the night sky. There were no stars or moon in the sky today, leaving it exceptionally dark. "What happened?" Jim walked over from behind, holding her by her waist. "Nothing. Just wanted some fresh air." She kept staring out, clearly occupied in thought. 

"Hmm... it's a bit cold today." He stood beside her, staring out in the sky just like her. "So dark." "Yes. I think we are done with our business here. I will take my leave." Jim didn't expect her to say that. "Come on. I have learned my lesson. You don't have to actively distance yourself." 

"Yeah, and what are we going to do? Play games?" She pointed at his flaccid little brother. "My task is done here. Cough up the fruits." She gently patted his cheeks. They had grown quite close these days and the boy proved to her that he was committed to change. However, that was it. She didn't want him to have unfounded expectations from her. Hence, she drew the line earlier.

Jim smiled wryly, finding that there was no way he could make her stay. Did he spook her so much? "No, I am not done yet. I can keep going. You are not getting any payment until I am done." Amelia laughed at his banter. "Good, then I shall wait for a few more minutes. Either you can get it up by then or I leave."

Jim had no idea how he was going to pull that off. But at the very least he forced the woman on her knees and made her keep his cock in her mouth. His hands swept up her hair and used it as a handle to move her head. Amelia only smirked at his futile attempt. Even so, she didn't stop the boy from trying anything. 

*Pagghh* He slapped her face while continuing to jerk her head around. Time flew by and out of sheer luck, his cock responded to the red-faced lady suckling it. "Haha... I did it.. hehe.. you can't leave now, can you?" Amelia looked impressed. He had already come twice today. It was impressive that he could still get it up in such a short duration. 

This time she deliberately began moving her head over hos erection. *Spit* Layering the cock under a thick coat of saliva she stroked it with both her hands. "Okay. You won. But remember, I will leave once we are done. I don't plan to stay out today." Jim held her up and made her stand against the window. Making her bow down, he let her chest stick out of the windowpane with her buttocks sticking out.

"Then I just need to make sure that I don't cum for the whole night." Amelia smirked but didn't refute him. Jim's hand held her hair from behind before his cock made its way inside her jizz filled pussy. Her body kept rocking back and forth from the thrust as her eyes kept staring out in the night sky.

Away from there, out in the wilderness and some distance away from Korua, a woman flew through the skies, dressed in complete white. Her mind was occupied when she sensed an anomaly that should not appear around here. The fact that it was in the same direction as her hometown made her concerned. She can't tell exactly what was there, from this distance but being a Grand Magus, she was rarely wrong in her assessments. Her pace grew as she tore apart the sky. 

**Current time**

*Crackle* *Crackle* The air around Greg grew charged. *BANG* His body disappeared from its earlier location as he zoomed in on the boy. Earth under his feet rumbled with every step he took. In a blink, he had traversed the distance and his sword fell on his opponent.

*Booom* "Impossible! How can this be?" A single strike had left him completely befuddled. Was this a nightmare of some kind? Or was he under an illusion? The reason for his disturbed mental state was the boy who still had a supercilious smile on his face as he gripped the long sword in his left hand. Its blade had dud into his palm but there was no emotion on his face.

This was a strike from someone who was just a realm weaker than the grand mages. Even then, he was just more powerful trash in the demon's eyes. *Sssrrhh* Greg's senses warned him of movement and he chose to step back this time, not even caring to fetch his blade back.

"What in the world are you?" This guy was no human. There was not a human in the empires that made him feel such primordial fear. He had met the experts of the capital. No one, not even the best of the grand mages can dare to block his attack with their bare hands. It was to be noted that humans were not exactly known for their physical prowess. 

That's when Greg noticed something clenched in the boy's right hand. He tilted his head to take a look at his left shoulder. There was nothing there. He had no arm. In place of the limb, there was a stream of blood gushing out like a fountain. "Aaaaghh!!" Only then did his instincts kick in and he pressured the wound to stop the bleeding. 

**Gore ahead. You have been warned.**

"When did you... ??" He was certain that he avoided the attack. Yet, the reality was that his arm was gripped between the fingers of his opponent at the moment. "Hmm... You are not bad. I hope you taste just as good." 

Greg's stomach churned at the scene. Right in front of his eyes, the demonic being sank his teeth in the piece of bloody meat, tearing a big chunk and swallowing it without any second thought. 

*Cough* *Cough* "Photey... it's disgusting!!" The boy threw up some of the meat on the ground. "Fuck! I should have known. I human male will never taste as good as a female." Greg's mind spun. It made sense. Everything made sense. The earlier reports of a demon sighting near this town. This was the culprit.

Of course, the investigations led to nothing. This guy was too powerful to get caught by the court officials. Even the earlier hand seals he prepared, made sense now. That was the forbidden magic that belonged to the demons. The disgust in his voice towards the angels only strengthened his conjecture. 

This boy somehow delved into forbidden magic and ended up reviving a demon inside him. He had no doubt in his mind now. This was not a force that humans can fight against. *Stump* His knees gave in. "Please... Please.. let me go... I swear I will never leak anything about you... please.." 

The godly speed that had cut his arm off, had completely overwhelmed the man. There was no point in struggling. Saving his life was more important. Why should he put his neck out for someone else? 

Stein and others had already passed out so there was no one who saw him rubbing his forehead in the soil. "Ohh.. don't tell me you ended up recognizing me? Huh... After I took so much pain of not transforming." The demon kept talking to itself like it was nothing unexpected for him. 

"Hmm... You are smart. There is no competition between prey and predator." He gently strolled over, until he was right next to the man. "To tell you guys the truth, you people are the reason why I am enjoying this freedom." He threw away the arm in his hand and began clenching and releasing his fist. There were no restrictions. He was free, absolutely free. 

Hope germinated in Greg's heart. It was not all dark for him. "Yes.. please take me under you... master. I will serve you with everything I have.. please, ignore the feeble attempts of this servant to resist your mighty self." 'Ryu' began strolling around the man with his signature creepy smile on his face. "Believe me, had it been to myself I would have definitely considered your request." Greg's heart fell.

Amelia laid out on her bed with her legs open and Jim furiously ramming into her vagina. She can feel the pleasures of sex, yet somehow her mind was distracted. "Wait..!" She put her hands in his chest stopping him from moving inside her any further. 

"Hmm? Want to get to a different position?" Jim assumed that she might want to switch back into an aggressive posture. However, she slipped from under him, shaking her head. "No... let's stop here tonight. I don't feel alright." She was not lying. There was an indescribable irritation in her heart like something was wrong somewhere and she can't put her fingers on it.

Jim was left confused. Just a few minutes back she decided to accompany him until he can keep going. He was sure it wasn't his fault. "What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?" He saw her get off the bed and put her dress on. 

"Don't know. I am just a bit uncomfortable. Maybe I am lacking sleep." She tried to reason it but to Jim, it seemed like she was still concerned for him growing overly fond of her. "Huu... I..!" He wanted to convince her but lacked any words.

Amelia turned towards the boy and found him fumbling. "It's not that kid. I know you are a good kid and you will take my advice. But still, I need to get going right now." She cupped his cheeks and kissed his forehead. Her words did alleviate some of his worries. "Then let's go. I will accompany you to your house." 

Amelia strung up her hair before shaking her head again. "No need. It's not like I live in a different town." Jim nodded reluctantly and then pulled out a small bag from his ring. "At least take your payment." Amelia smiled charmingly, not refusing him this time around. "See you around, kiddo!" With those last words, she left the boy alone in the empty room. 

Jim kept sitting in his bed, mulling over the matters of love and affection. Amelia had been right. She had a loving family. He was an outsider. No matter how close he grew to her, they will never be a family. "Huh..! Why is it so difficult.." Falling back in bed he stared at the dark ceiling. 

*Booom* That's when he heard a whiz and he saw someone flying across the sky at a breakneck pace. Immediately jumping over to the window, he captured the last vestiges of white light before it disappeared into the other side of the town. "Looks like Grand Magus is back." 

The same scene was witnessed by many people in Korua. Amelia saw the figure zooming in and out in the sky and felt relieved. She didn't know what was the cause of this indescribable pain in her heart but thankfully mother Emily was here. Nothing will go wrong with her family as long as she was here. Thinking that she made her way back home with quick steps. 

***

In the other part of the town, Emily landed right in front of an unassuming house. Her eyes scanned the surroundings and found nothing out of the ordinary. Taking a few more steps, she extended her hand. 'As expected!' A barrier stopped her hand from getting any closer. 

Right then she closed her eyes and let her mana sense prevail all over Korua, scanning each and every living being residing in and around the town. There was not even an insect that can escape her detection. "Please don't tell me." Her teeth bit on her lips. She can't find Ryu anywhere. 

That left a single probability. The boy was trapped inside. "Let me in." She was too late. The demon had surfaced once again. Now she just wanted to know, what in the world led to this. She knew about Ryu's strained relationship with the presence. He would never let it surface until he was extremely desperate. 

At her call, the barrier in front of her bubbled over. This time when she put her hand on it, it separated to grant her access. Taking a deep breath she took another step, heading straight inside.
