Unheard Wishes: A Tale Of Desires

"Ok, then that's the number of chances you get," As soon as his voice reached my ears I found myself back in one piece, normally I would've thought that it was some sort of illusion but my blood-soaked clothes suggested otherwise and something like an illusion will not work on me.

'A healing ability as well like this, this may prove to be a challenging battle,' I cared less as long as I won, he was not only going to heal me but himself as well. Sooner or later it would take a toll on him.

"You are also free to use all of your abilities from now on," He spoke and I confirmed that I could in fact use everything I had prepared.

These were things I prepared for the Chainsaw Devil when we meet again, but I am now going to use this on the man before me.

"If you succeed in killing me even once, I'll be your lackey or subordinate or whatever,"

This may be his arrogance and letting it be that way for a while would be the better choice.

"But if you lose you better be prepared for the consequences,"

"Certainly," I replied and the time for talk was finished. I made a move and pointed my finger at him quickly shooting out the attack.

And he dodged the attack as expected but just as I was about to point at him again, I was cut in two vertically.

Split apart I fell to opposite sides, he was standing right in front of me with the sword in his hand.

"That's 1," He said as my body pulled itself together like it should've when the contract was active, but this was his doing and I could activate this by thinking of it so I had control over at which point I was healed.

He was fast, so fast that I couldn't even get some things done before he 'killed' me.

"I'll give you some time," I looked at him as he flipped the sofa upright and sat down. Was he being serious?

"I said I am giving you time, get your add-ons or whatever," And there was no need for further talk, I used my brain tissue to make a halo above my head, and through that, I summoned all of the devils, and hybrids I had.

A bigger halo appeared on top of the man in front of me and he looked up with what seemed like an unamused expression as a swarm of creatures fell down from the expanding halo.

I used the eternity devil's powers to expand the room enough to fit all of the creatures that will come from that. I felt like this too was only possible since the man in front of me allowed it.

And soon 100's of tangled creatures with several arms wielding various blades descended from above in order to kill the man.

But all they left behind was a rain of blood and crushed organs before they could even swing at him.

I already expected that and the reason I did it was because…

'I can now see his slashes,' I had made a contract with the Future devil and it allowed me to observe the way he attacked by reading into the future when he attacked the creatures from before.

This gave me enough time to analyze him and find out a few things about the man in front of me.

'He isn't a devil and neither a hybrid, not to mention he has no contract with any Devils,' He was beyond the scope of what I knew, a human capable of feats way out of his league.

"Usage: 100 years," Using the Angel Devil who was already under my control I took out a sword to block the sword that came from the path I saw.

But the mine got cut and even while using the Ghost Devil's ability to become immune to physical attacks, in the end, I still got cut.

"You'd need to do better than that, that's 2," He said as I found myself healed up again, so I sent the Hybrids I had summoned to attack him.

Longsword Devil Hybrid, Crossbow Devil Hybrid, Spear Devil Hybrid, Flamethrower Devil Hybrid, Katana Devil Hybrid, Bomb Devil Hybrid, and Whip Devil Hybrid.

Never thought that I would have to use them all against a human, No…

'I am not even sure if he is a human,' But it mattered not since he had strength, a strength that shouldn't be left untamed.

Even while knowing the future there were times he caught me off guard by now I have been cut down thousands of times by his sword while he made quick work of the hybrids each time.

He countered the Flamethrower Devil with ice and the other weapon hybrids couldn't come close to him in combat.

And every time the hybrids were also healed just like me while the battle continued.

This time I used the Spider Devil's ability to submerge myself into the ground and emerge from his blind spots to attack while keeping my distance.

And that didn't work as well, he was able to cut through the ground and me at the same time with no problem like I had expected.

The times I have been killed by now has reached 1,000,000 and I still haven't been able to injure him.

Even right now, I pointed my finger at him once more from a distance while he was cutting down the hybrids, a wide-range attack wasn't affecting him as he can either dodge it or defend against it.

'But I've got it now,' I have figured out a way to reduce his combat prowess.

'So, I'll concentrate it, narrow the area of impact as much as possible,'

"Bang!" An impact as small as a needle whizzed through the air and made its way to its target.

And the target wasn't him but his sword that the Hybrids gave their lives to keep in place. For all this time I've had the hybrids concentrate on his sword to wear it down and it was working as I could see it getting chipped over time.

With a sharp sound, his sword broke into pieces but even then he killed the hybrids by grabbing the shards and cutting them.

He can just pull out another sword, which might be what anyone would think since there was nothing stopping him.

But I knew he wouldn't, his confidence came from his combat prowess but I plan to chip away at it little by little just like I have done this time.

'Now that his attack range is limited I can stay at a distance more easily by reading the future and avoiding direct confrontation, and I can get into a hand-to-hand confrontation if needed,' While I was thinking that he came arrived in front of me before I could even react.

"This l-" As I was about to speak my throat was ripped out by him and wasn't even able to move a muscle to stop it.

"If you can read the future I just need to read ahead in your future and change my movements faster," He said as he moved his head slightly to dodge the spear that was thrown at him by the Spear Hybrid, and I couldn't help but complete the thought in my mind as the spear struck me.

'-ooks unwinnable,' Thus the melee began when I tried to break away from him and he didn't let me.

Impaled through the chest, Ripped apart, Broken spine, Smashed Brain, Complete mutilation, Evisceration, Gutted, Crushed Heart, Head Ripped Off, Broken Limbs, Ripped out Organs.

The number of ways I died kept on increasing as he went on and on with each more brutal than the previous one. At this point, if it wasn't for the blood that came back to our bodies when we were healed, the blood from me and the hybrids would've painted this whole area red, not just the ground but the walls and ceiling included. No, it would be correct to say that this entire place would become a pool of blood that would reach my ankles.

And as the battle went on the fear of the hybrids for him increased as well.

Right now it had reached the point where they won't even move unless I forcefully moved them through the chains.

He made the beings who feed on fear, fearful of his existence, fearful of his movements, and fearful of his mere gaze. He was just…

'…like the Chainsaw Devil,' I thought as I got mutilated again.

"And that's 126,176,969." With that declaration, I was once again back in one piece.

At this instant…

'In a battle of strength...'

"I surrender," I said.
