Cadell and Brunus was running towards the academy while Rodo's fight against Eizer was happening. They were looking around town and saw multiple demons wreaking every structures, killing many people in the process. It was clear that, that day was the day of the demon invasion.

Cadell buried his hand in the ground.

[Earth Cube]

Cadell created five earth cubes. He hurled each of them to every demon he came across. He threw the large chunks of earth with so much force that some of the demons were crushed to incapacitation. Brunus was surprised.

“When did you become like that?”, Brunus asked jokingly. Cadell smiled.

“I learned it from fighting one”, Cadell said. Brunus didn't press on what did his friend meant.

“Well, I guess I should help too”, Brunus said.

[Heavy Body]

Brunus's body became super dense, about ten times of his normal self. The ground below him gave in for a little the moment he enhanced his body.

[Speed Boost]

Even if Brunus's body was heavier than a stone built house, he was agile and quick enough to reach the demons. He bashed the demons' heads, hurling the dark beings to the ground. Each demons dropping to the ground created little tremors that anyone near could feel.

“This is more fun than I thought”, Brunus stated. He looked at Cadell who was looking at him blankly. “Of course this invasion is bad, what I meant is.. Ahh, forget it”

Brunus focused on bashing demon heads to the ground, while Cadell hit the demons with his earth cubes and crush them. After some time, they eliminated all the demons in their area.

“That does it, let's continue”, Cadell said.

They continued on, wanting to reach the academy before it was too late, but after running for a minute, they encountered another horde of demons.

“They're so many”, Brunus remarked.

“I don't know that there are this many demons”, Cadell said.

They did what they did before, crushing all the demons with their magic. They eliminated the demons in no time. They decided to rest there, as their ages were catching up to them. However, while they were resting, a lone demon approached them.

The demon didn't bother to sneak up on them. Cadell and Brunus already saw the demon from afar. The demon was different from the demons that they defeated. It was humanlike, but with gray skin. The demon had two horns on his forehead pointing downwards.

“Filthy humans, killing my demons..”, the demon said.

Hearing the demon's words made Cadell remember something. He remembered the time when he was fighting against the demonized Osbert, and a strong looking demon arrived. He was terrified back then. His instinct was telling him that he couldn't win back then. Now, encountering a humanlike demon invoked the same feeling he felt. He knew that the lone demon could equal Talzer.

“I don't think I can ignore you filthy humans”, the demon said.

“Cadell, are you familiar with that demon?”, Brunus asked. “I feel like he's dangerous”

Cadell nodded, agreeing with what Brunus felt. Then, without warning, the demon said something and what came after terrified the two humans. The demons that they just defeated returned to their previous form, like they were not crushed just a second ago. Such feat confirmed what they already knew. The lone demon is a powerful enemy.

The revived demon didn't pay attention to Cadell and Brunus. The lone demon commanded them to continue the destruction that they were tasked to do. Cadell was about to hit one of the demons, but the lone demon interrupted him.

[Dark Wind]

Cadell’s earth cube was reduced to dusts, as the powerful gust of wind from the lone demon hit it. The lone demon continued on, and destroyed the other earth cubes to prevent Cadell from killing the demons again. As a result, the demons were able to go far enough that Cadell could no longer reach them.

“Don’t think that you could do anything as you please, filthy human”, the demon said, looking at Cadell.

“We have names, demon”, Brunus said.

“Filthy humans are filthy humans. Your names have no value”, the demon replied. “But know this, Kazer is my name, a great demon in front of you”

Cadell and Brunus looked at each other. They looked at the direction of the academy, and saw that they were still a little far away from it.

“We have no choice. I don't think this demon, Kazer, will let us go”, Cadell said. Brunus agreed. They looked at Kazer, and prepared themselves.

[True Summon: Iron Giant]

Cadell commanded his summon to attack Kazer.

[Heavy Body]

Brunus strengthened his body, and rushed towards the demon.

[Earth Cube]

Cadell created three earth cubes that are more compact, and heavier than what he usually create.

[Strength Boost]

Brunus was the first to hit the demon. Kazer was hit on his chest, and the impact created turbulent winds. However, the demon didn't flinch, Kazer stood still from where he stood. Brunus leaped back to give way for the iron giant.

The iron giant brought its huge fist towards the demon, and the impact created a loud, booming sound. But, even with its heavy and strong attack, Kazer remain unfazed and unmoving.

Cadell wasn't bothered by what he saw. He decided on bringing his earth cube towards the demon, and that's what he did. He pushed the earthen cubes one after another, his commands were smooth that none of the cubes were disrupted by the other. Every single hit produced a thumping noise. But, even with so much strikes, Cadell wasn't able to move Kazer from his position.

“Too weak, filthy humans”, Kazer said. “I wish I could go against Kael, not against the likes of you two”

Cadell was surprised to hear Kael’s name. Although he knew that the demon invasion had something to do with Kael, hearing it from the demon's mouth made it more personal.

“You can't reach such power Kazer”, Cadell stated.

Kazer felt insulted by the remark. He was about to use his power, but then, a voice called for Cadell and Brunus.

[Whirlwind Arrow]

An arrow flew and passed beside Cadell. It was so quick that if it was aimed at Cadell, he would not be able to defend himself. But, it was aimed towards the demon. The arrow was surrounded by strong winds that increased its speed even more. It struck and pierced Kazer’s left eye, and its speed forced the demon to move back a little.

“I change my mind. I will join you”

Cadell looked behind him. The person that he saw was the one that he wanted to join them. With his bow and arrow, Drogo decided to join the fight.
