"so.... Can we begin travelling yet?" Elie asked as she was bored out of her mind from waiting since Liam had to play the hero and rebuild the forest.
"Gaia Force. Reconstruct" Liam opened his eyes and a bright green light shot out of his chest and collided with the ground. When the ball of energy was fully absorbed into the earth Elie watched as all of their fight was undone in mere moments.
"Just how many techniques do you know?" Elie asked remembering that he used assassin techniques and dark magic earlier. He also used Hero techniques and now nature magic.
"I can learn any magic or technique as long as it is written down with some detail or I see someone use it multiple times around me. From there I build up my skill at using the technique and make it more efficient over time" Liam said with a smile.
"You lucky bastard. How do heroes always get some over powered skill like that" Elie said with a little bit of jealousy since it took her a long time to learn the few techniques she knew.
"No that isn't my hero skill. I am just smart enough to read a book and put things into practice and if someone uses a skill in front of me I can work out how it is used and over time I can mold my Mana to work the same as their for the technique. My hero ability is a dimensional storage" Liam said with a sigh as he reached into a worm hole that appeared when he willed it to and he pulled out a chocolate bar.
"Catch" Liam said with a sly smile as he threw the chocolate at Elie. Elie sliced the unsuspecting bar into pieces with one swing of her claws.
"Ha. you think a pathetic weapon like that can hurt me?" Elie said with a mocking tone. Liam rested his head in his hand with a groan.
"That was a very rare and very expensive FOOD!!!" Liam shouted at Elie as he pointed at the pieces of delicious chocolate.
"oh" Elie still didn't get it. Liam pulled another one out and handed it gently to Elie.
"Eat it and then try to keep that 'oh' reaction" Liam reached into his dimensional storage and pulled out one for himself. The chocolate bar was a very rare item that only a master chef can make. Using rare beans imported from the Desert Lands chiefs can make chocolate for those who have the coin to buy it.
Elie grew up in the demon continent where normally if you were to find a brown colour it would be because some other creature fully digested their food and excreted the waste. Because of this Elie thought the taste of the food would be akin to said brown substance that litters the demon continent. However when she took a bite of the light brown food and her face lit up. Elie also felt a strange magic flow through her showing that a master chef made this meal and that she would be buffed for the entire day because of it.
"I am unsure if that cute face is worth the price of the chocolate bar. But hey. Not like you get to see the cute side of The Demon every day" Liam laughed at Elie's expression. Her red skin turned a much deeper shade of red and she sent a blast of energy directly at Liam's face. Liam could have avoided the attack easily however he was a gentleman pervert. he would be perverted yet always take his punishment.

"Please don't say things like I am cute. I am anything but cute. I have smooth skin and curved horns. How could anyone find this cute?" Elie asked angrily.
'Guess she has a self image problem? Just what kind of standard do demonic races have for the word cute' Liam thought to himself concerned.
"Simple. Smooth skin is a virtue here and you have a huge pair of boobs. I have never seen an ass as fine as yours and your horns just increase your cuteness factor" Liam said brutally honestly. Elie seemingly broke for a second after hearing that.
"Elie.... ELIE?" Liam backed away slowly from Elie thinking he was going to be hit again.
"Pervert" Elie said before turning around and walking in the direction of the human kingdom hoping to reach there some time this month.
"Hey. I am a Provert. It isn't the same as an average pervert. I have attained the legend and reached a whole new level of perversion. I am a professional pervert. Not just an average *COUGH!!*" Liam was halted half way through his dramatic speech by a punch to his gut that made him cough up a bit of blood as he fell to the ground. Standing over his still twitching body was a powerful dark aura that stood as the rage and vengeance of all women as she executed her mission without delay.
"I am already regretting asking for your help" Elie said slightly depressed as she walked away leaving Liam to lie there and think about what he has done.
It was at this moment that a loud earthquake roared across the land.
"Huh. I didn't think earthquakes were common near central city" Liam managed to say as he checked to make sure nothing was wrong. He couldn't sense anything bad however he felt something was off with how the earthquake was effecting an area that hasn't seen earthquakes for thousands of years.
Elie felt the earthquake however she had more knowledge on what to watch out for then Liam did.
"This is to soon. Why is HE awake?" Elie mumbled to herself. Liam could easily hear however he knew that was a topic where his noes didn't need to but into. Elie was scared while she said that meaning it is probably not something she is willing to talk about.
"... W-wait up. Please?" Liam said after realising Elie was actually leaving him behind and was already breaking off into a jogging pace with no signs of slowing down. Elie even with all her complaining had a smile on her face. Regardless of how short lived she knew it would be.
-----------------------------------------
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I realised the story was a bit serious at this point. I want the characters to have more realistic interaction while they still can. As for that earthquake... Well lets just say there is two paths this story follows so if it isn't one then its the other :D
