Jace is standing 50 feet from the Leader casting Curse of Fatigue when the Leader turns in his direction. The Leader then starts once again charging Jace covering the distance quicker than Jace expected.
The Leader arrives in front of Jace taking a swipe at his face before Jace can complete the curse. As the Leader's clawed hand arrives at Jace's face Jace leans back causing it to only leave cuts.
At the same time Reaper activates his Feather Barrage. When the feathers hit the Leader it sends him staggering back and leaving some injuries. This gives Jace enough time to recover and uses explosive propulsion to attempt to stab the Leader in the head.
The Leader still affected by the Curse of Madness isn't able to doge out of the way in time. Jace feels as his stab connects with the Leader's head and hears a few notifications.
"Ding, killed one, one and a half horned demon with companion Reaper, xp gained is 200 for both . Due to the title effect xp increased to 240." "Ding, companion Reaper has leveled up" "Ding, companion Reaper has reached level 6, state has changed to adolescent." "Ding, companion Reaper has learned a new ability, status has been updated."
Jace is ecstatic that he had beaten his opponent and that Reaper had grown. Jace however starts to feel pain from his gashes and his chest where the Leader threw him. 'Looks like all the adrenaline has worn off, that sucks'.
Jace taking one more survey around sees the Leader's tent and decides that it would be good to head in. When Jace gets in the tent he sees nothing of importance to him and starts to burn down the base.
Jace seeing that everything is good makes the trip back to the safe house in much pain. On the way Jace realizes that he can't feel Reaper on his shoulder and freaks out. Jace then hears a chirp above him and sees Reaper flying.
Jace sighs and is happy that Reaper can fly now. When Jace arrives at the safe house he takes some pain killer and gets to work on bandaging. Jace first inspects his chest and sees that it is mostly bruised but nothing feels broken.
Jace then looks at the mirror to inspect his face and the damage. Jace has 3 cuts going vertically from the top of his face to his mouth over his right eye. Jace however wonders how his vision wasn't affected by blood.
Jace looks closer at the cuts however and sees that the blood was catching on his eyebrow and flowing around his eye. Jace takes then cleans the cuts and starts to bandage the one side of his face. 'I shouldn't leave the safe house until these cuts scab over. Then I can regain full vision without the bandages'.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Jace now fully bandaged looks over Reaper to make sure that he is okay. When Jace is inspecting Reaper, he sees that Reaper had gotten bigger and was now the size of his hand.
Jace also sees that Reaper's feathers and color was more vibrant. Jace finding that Reaper was okay opens Reapers status.

At the DSC school there was another disturbance. The Captain is once again standing on the roof. This time the Captain has a pair of binoculars and is watching the place of the old demon camp. It had been some time since the demons were spotted at their camp after the attack by the Captain.
What the Captain was seeing was however their return which was greater than before. The Captain watches as the demons use the ruins of the buildings by the hole to create a wall around the camp. The Captain is at a loss for what he should do as the next missile was not yet completed.
This left the Captain sitting on the roof watching the camp for a while thinking. That night there was another attack by the demons. They were marching like last time towards the base but there formation was more spread out.
This made all of the explosions and AoE skills very ineffective. As the demons got closer the Captain set out an order that he would try this time. "Start up the Tanks and Cars! We'll run then over!" This started a massive rumble from the school.
As the demons approached the barbwire fence everyone sat ready for the signal. The demons got to the barbwire fence and they all took a swing at it. Everyone watched as the demons arms connected with the fence. The fence managed to survive one attack of the demons, but was severely damaged.
The next attack from the demons came which broke the fence. This made the Captain send the signal, but before he could the sound from the demon camp came again. Causing the demons to run back to the camp and the Captain to give the signal to cut the engines.
