The next day when Reaper and Jace wake up they had no idea the scene that will go down at the demon base while they were out. At the demon's massive home base under the nearest portal to Jace a demon was receiving orders from their Superior.
"You are to go to the outpost we have set up here and investigate their progress. After this you are to travel to the base we have set up here and also check their progress. You are then to come back immediately to report. I want all this done as fast and efficiently as possible."
During the orders the Superior was pointing to a map of Michigan that appeared to be taken from the human locals. The outpost that the demon was pointing at was a small dot marked in red that was the base Jace destroyed.
The base the Superior was talking about was marked as a larger dot and was the demon base that Jace had encountered not that long ago. The Superior then hands the map to the demon and sends him out.
The demon nods and turns to leave the tent but before he can the Superior says something else to him. "I almost forgot, I am allowing you to use a transportation machine." The demon turns back around and nods again.
The demon then arrives at the transportation machines and picks the one he wants. The demon quickly checks the map to be sure he is heading in the right direction and sets off.
Jace back at the safe house was eating breakfast with Reaper and planning out the first part of his day. 'I can go back to the demon base, but that would be worthless as I don't really have anything really important to do there.
I have already started spreading my diseases and also messed with their base forcing them to fix it. Also, because of that they will be on high alert, which is very bad for me'. Jace looks up to see his weapons and goes back into thought.
'I could also practice and train more, but I need to conserve my mana so that is a no go. What else can I do to gain strength'. While Jace is staring at his weapons thinking Reaper chirps and Jace immediately knows what he should do.
'Why didn't I think of that before, I can increase Reaper's power. In a way improving Reaper's power is also improving mine, as he fights with me. Now I need to figure out what the best way to increase his power is'. Jace then opens his status to inspect.

Jace looking at this status screen becomes a little perplexed. 'What should I do? Leveling him up would be hard as he is very far from it. So what would be the next best thing to increase his power?'.
The entire time Jace is in deep concentration trying to find what he wants to do to increase Reaper's power, Reaper couldn't care less. As Reaper had decided that the best thing for him to do at the moment was to find a way to take some food from Jace. Just as Reaper was planning to strike, Jace figures out what the best way to help Reaper grow was.
'I can level up his Slash ability to level 2. I don't know how he hasn't done this already as it seems easy to do, but it might be harder than it looks?'. Jace then sees Reaper eying his food, so before Reaper can do anything Jace devours it almost instantly. Jace then looks at Reaper who looks away quickly.
Jace then says "Lets go. I have a plan to increase your power'. This interests Reaper who starts chirping and heads out with Jace.
At the destroyed demon outpost the demon sent by the headquarters arrives on his transport machine. When he gets there he is in utter shock at what he sees. Before him is something he thought to be impossible on this planet. There are dead demon bodies and burned ruins of an outpost.
The demon gets off his machine and inspects everything closer. The first demon's body he finds is the outpost's Leaders. He inspects it and sees that it was almost a 2 horn. The demon then says to himself "I have heard about one horns being bested, but I didn't think an almost 2 horn could be bested by something on this planet."
He then continues his investigation and inspects the other demon's bodies. And he once again talks to himself "They all appeared to have died in one move by their opponent. This is bad, there is something potentially dangerous here. I need to get to the other demon base to warn them to keep an eye out." Before leaving however he checks around in the structures to see if he can find anything relating to the attack.
But he comes up with nothing and just finds more demon bodies to which he sighs. The demon then gets back on his transportation machine heading to the demon base. When he arrives at the demon base he is met with the Chief standing at the front gate and all the demons in the base bowing. The demon immediately gets off his vehicle and is met with "Hello Messenger, welcome to my humble demon base" by the Chief.
Before the Chief can continue the demon says "We need to talk right now. Is there anywhere this is possible?" This statement sends fear into the Chef but the answers immediately "Yes, I have a command tent that will work."
The Messenger responds "Good, take me there." The two demons then leave while the rest of the demons return to their work. As soon as the 2 demons enter the tent the Messenger starts to begin a conversation that the Chief will come to remember.
