After going around for a few more minutes scouting the place more people are finally beginning to show up. This place already has a lot of people but it isn’t as full as it can be, there are a lot of empty spaces as well as tables.
Maxoiliodas along with a lot of what I think are other mages comes through the door as a group. He is with a woman, I hope it is his wife so I can have some hope for this man.
The mages are all in golden and silver simple robes, even the women, except the woman with Maxoiliodas, she is using a long silver dress. The woman is pretty from what I can see. She is red-haired.
For now I try to steer clear of them as they will probably start to bombard me with questions I have no energy to answer.
A few more minutes later the person I am waiting for finally arrives and I get a good surprise.
Monica enters first, she is using a nice dress, white, long going until the knees, could pass as a wedding dress.
Sophia on the other hand is irradiating magic, literally. Whatever that dress is doing is covering her scars, her face is normal so for the first time I see her face. She has the face of a model, the kind that you would see in all the greatest magazines in my past life. She is using a Cinderella dress. I don’t think I should remember this name, I get a clear image of a blue dress in a princess with the name Cinderella in my memory looking at that dress but also the bad feeling that I shouldn’t talk about it to other people.
People are taken by surprise but after a few minutes of greetings I finally have my chance to talk with them.
“Those are really nice dresses.” I say to both of them after passing through all the people in the party.
“Thank you Miss Lucia.” Monica says to me.
“Thanks, but why are you with your weapons?” Sophia asks me.
“People tried to hold them.”
“You should try to cleanse your sword sometime.”
“Why? So other people can steal from me?”
“She makes a good point Lady Sophia.”
“Well, forget it for now, let’s get a table, I am a little hungry.”
“As you wish.”
And that we do. We look for a table and enjoy the food, me less than them, as more people begin to enter.
Little by little the place begins to fill up until finally it is announced that the King, Queen and the Prince are finally entering the place.
As the doors open everyone get on their knees, except me, fuck this.
The music stops and as the door opens, all 3 of them enter along with some people from the church. There are about 5 people of the church with them, one of them being an old human man that could easily be the pope in my old world.
As they enter the place giving a greeting to everyone without words people start to look at me as I am the only person there besides the ones that just entered that is up.
“Thanks for coming, all of you may stand up now, let’s enjoy the party.” the king says in a somewhat loud voice. The place is in silence now but it is still a big place.
Everyone stands up and continues with their things. Sophia stands up and goes after the queen without saying a word. Monica also leaves and goes somewhere before I lose her in the crowd.
I spend a few more minutes relaxing at my table where Mexioliodas and the woman with him approaches me.
“Hello young Miss, I heard you cut my husband's arm.” She says in a joking tone.
“You're going to have to be more specific if you want me to know who I am talking to.” I say, also joking a little.
“Hahaha, you never said that this young lady was quick on the tongue.” She says to the elf.
“Her demeanor has not been studied so far.” He says, serious.
“Maxy, I never thought you would have a wife. I guess the world has some hope.”
“He only gets like this when he finds something really important, normally he is a lot more loose. My name is Kaarm by the way.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Lucia. Wanna sit?”
“Sure, let’s sit.”
Both of them sit at the table with me.
“I heard you've been beating my husband’s student in the past few weeks.”
“Please, I just teach them a thing or two, they are hardly my students.”
“Yeah, I don’t think Maxy here would train people so weak. The judges were infinitely better than the actual people fighting with me.”
“Please stop calling me Maxy.”
“Sure, Maximum here is too good for that to be the result.”
“...”
“Please stop joking with him, he doesn't really like funny names.”
“Ok, Maxoiliodas, how are things going? Has anyone been able to reproduce what I do?”
“Plenty of people almost died, but no success so far.”
“Hey, can’t you give a hint or something, he is quite depressed as of late because of this.”
“People are failing after they try to sleep the first, right?”
“Your speculation is correct.”
“Well, try to make their mind stay awake while their bodies sleep.”
“Not many people have the ability to do that, especially the people who would take part in these experiments.”
“I have no idea if this will work, but why don’t you try a group casting?”
“What do you mean?”
“More than one person can use the same rune at the same time, right? Why not try to make just one person circulate the mana of two or more people? This way even if one is sleeping as long there is contact, maybe they can survive.”
“That is a good idea, I hope you are not expecting a reward this time.”
“My husband already gave you an arm, do you want a leg this time?”
“Nah, right now I am just a little more curious about how other people would use spells with this new method than I need money.”
“Getting to another topic a little my dear little Lucia, you are quite the bold lady. Not kneeling to the Crown.”
“I am not a citizen, I just live here. If they want my respect, earn it without the need of force or status. The same goes to your husband, from my point of view he is a prick who only cares about research.”
“These days he is leaving me so alone.”
“I can help with that.” I say, joking.
“Leave your lustiful hands out of my wife you little devil.” He says serious.
Both me and Kaarm are taken a little by surprise.
She gives him a kiss and a hug.
“I guess we will be going before my husband starts a war with you over my love.”
“I wouldn’t dare to get in his way because of this.”
“Then we are taking our leave. Have a good night.”
“For you both too and try to get your mind out of your damn research, sometimes it is best to just forget about everything.”
“I will keep this in mind.”
They then leave the table.
For the next hour or two I have to greet and talk my way out of talking with other people who would not add anything to my life.
At some point I bump with the Prince.
“Hey, it’s you, the girl with Sophia.” he says to me.
“Hello prince, did you consider my proposition from last time.” I say pointing to his ass.
“I would never submit myself like that to a woman.”
“But I would.” Which isn’t untrue.
“Why are you with weapons anyway?”
“Because your guards are shit and they can’t even lift a cursed sword.”
“Then give it to me, I will dispose of it.”
“Prince. I have nothing personal against you but if you really want to try to take me weapons be aware that I will humiliate you the best I can just because the opportunity will present itself.”
“You cannot be serious. I am the prince.”
“And?”
He stops for a second getting how much a fuck I give about him and his position. I can’t say the kingdom is in a bad state but I don’t see enough to say it is good.
As rulers with absolute power there is a lot more they can do even without technology.
“You shouldn’t be speaking with this thing prince.” The old guy from the church says. He appeared behind the prince before we could notice him.
“I am not a thing you old man.”
“No, you are worse than just some object with evil powers, you actually have agency over your evil.”
“Then why don’t you try to eliminate me? You look like someone pretty high up in the hierarchy. I am raring to actually cause some damage to you guys.”
“Lucia, please stop, there are a lot of people here.”
“Artheus, shut the fuck up, I am talking with the half-dead man here.”
Some people heard that.
“You demon, stop disrespecting the prince.” The old man says a little louder trying to get attention a little more.
“Then why don’t you prove to everyone that I am a danger? Maybe the King and the Queen?”
“Then I shall. Take this.” He says while making a rune really fast and pressing it against my head with his index finger.
I sense a curse in my body so I cut my finger a little on Mira to make her absorb the curse while it is still small.
For my surprise he then starts to shout so everyone has their attention on us.
“Look, the demon girl. Guards, she is trying to attack the prince.” He shouts to everyone.
People start to take distance from me.
The guards there are surrounding me, Sophia, Monica, the Queen, the King and almost everyone important is with their eyes on me. I will use this situation to my advantage.
“No, why did you do that? Now me and the prince can’t go around looking for love? How will we find the women that will fill our hearts?” I say over acting like I am in a bad TV Show.
People start to get confused, even laugh a little. I continue.
“Why old man? Can’t I just love? Or do I need to do what you say to me? Why does the church ask me to do those things? I am just a girl, I never even had my first time.” Which is somewhat true.
People start to talk, the guards drop their guards.
“No, this demon girl, she is lying.” The old man says in panic. He probably never had opposition of this kind before. I know the feeling.
“Why are you doing this? Not just the spell but the lies? When will it be enough? The gods will not be pleased to know that someone like you represents them in the mortal world.”
“You demon! I will finish you even if I have to go along.” He shouts while using a spell to get near me.
He grabs me really fast as I also put my hand in his face.
“It’s over, I will kill you!” He says to me.
“If I feel anything from this hand everyone here dies.” I shout.
Everyone gets tense.
“HAHAHA, you demon, you finally showed yourself. Die!” he says as he begins to charge a spell in my face.
I see on the corner of my eye Sophia running towards me. But fuck this.
If this man is trying to really kill me, let’s see if he really has the protection of the gods. I start to create an actual sun in the palm of my hand.
Then everything freezes and I am in the void again. That kid appears before me again. This time I have my body.
“Hey what a…” He tries to say as I punch him.
“Hey, why?” he asks me, angry.
“First because here I can remember that it was you who summoned that Chimera on me Lokir. Second, all of you fucked up big time with me and you are the only one that I can punch.”
“Still, why are you trying to destroy the world?”
“I am pretty sure I am going to die, so who cares about the rest.”
“You can’t.”
“I can, in fact I am about to do it.”
“But can you please reconsider?”
“What do I gain with this?”
“We can make you stay alive.”
“Not enough.”
“Don’t you want to live?”
“Knowing you it would mean that I will just get really fucked up and spend the rest of my life doing nothing.”
“We wouldn’t do that.”
“Then putting an extra in there to show that you are serious will not be a problem then.”
“What do you want, you greedy bastard?”
“First you and your buddies will just cancel our spell so we don’t fry anyone. Second, I want another blessing.”
“Of what?”
“I want to skip the part where I need to understand how to do it and just do it when I try to use a spell.”
“You realise that this kind of knowledge has drawbacks that we cannot remove, righ?”
“If it doesn’t kill me or other people, makes me insane, makes others insane, cause me or others bodily harm, it doesn’t matter.”
“You are crazy, you know that, right?”
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“That just adds to my charm. Now, is there anything else?”
“Actually yes.”
“What?”
“Someone is sending demons your way.”
“Again? Why?”
“I have no idea, I am not omniscient. The good goddess of peace doesn't want the church to collapse just yet as they are a positive in the world for now so we are trying to give a heads up to anyone we can.”
“How many people know about this?”
“Two including you.”
“Fuck!”
“How much time do I have?”
“I have no idea.”
“... Just let me go back.”
“As you wish, when you go back your blessing will be given, just don’t blame us for what happens.”
“I will always blame all of you at least a little.”
He then snaps his fingers and I am back where I was. Both me and the old man are with our hands on each other’s face but the spells are not going.
I hit his elbow so he let me go.
“Old man, your gods just saved you.”
“What do you me…” He tries to say but Sophia punches him so hard he goes flying a few meters.
“Leave her alone, you waste of air!” She shouts.
I am really surprised by this. I guess even her has a limit to bullshit.
“Sophia, are you sure you should have done that?” I say as I put my hand on her shoulder.
“Yeah, now come with me.” She says while grabbing my hands and dragging me away.
The people there are agitated, the other priest rushed to the aid of the old man.
Sophia brings me to the middle of the place where the Queen and the King are.
“Are you ok my dear?” The Queen asks me.
“That priest should learn to hear a little.” The King says.
“Yes, thank you and sorry. I hope I didn’t disrupt the party too much.”
“Don’t worry, usually things get like this by the end of the party, this time everyone is just not drunk.”
“Mom!” The Prince says as he arrives.
“Just a minute my dear, your father has something he has to say.”
“EVERYONE, YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!” The king shouts. Even without the use of a spell or charm his voice is enough to get everyone’s attention.
With everyone’s attention on him he begins to speak.
“As you can see the church has a personal vendetta against this girl.” He says while pointing to me. “Contrary to what me and everyone else is taught by the church, just having the curses of demon flesh or blood doesn’t make you a demon, this girl is the perfect exemple. She has both but not only she is a fierce warrior who will help those in need, she is also a great mage that created a new method of using magic that everyone will be able to use in the future.”
The priests are in shock as everyone is looking at them with hateful eyes. Most people here are probably just following the opinion of their boss but right now I don’t care.
The priests take the old man and leave as fast as they can. I can see in their face that they are not happy with this.
The people there at least don’t mock them. Then the party continues as normal. People really like to dance, drink and talk.
“Is this ok?” I ask.
“Probably.” The King says in a low voice.
“What did you want, Artheus?” The Queen asks in a calm voice.
“This girl is dangerous. She needs to have some type of supervision.”
“I’m not dangerous and Sophia is here.”
“Prince, she probably was just bluffing at that time.” Sophia says.
“Still, telling that you would blow up everyone here is too much.”
“That was not a bluff.”
Everyone there is a little in shock.
“Refrain from doing that again if possible.” The king says to me.
“Speaking of what just happened, make your army get ready, we are going to be attacked. If they are not in the city yet we can probably reduce the damage by finding them before they enter.”
“Who and how you know anything about this.” The King asks me puzzled.
“Look, you can trust me and do something or wait and see. I appreciate the goodwill towards me and I am trying to pay back a little here.”
The King then calls a knight that is in the party and whispers something to him where he leaves the party shortly after.
After that everyone there, including me and Monica, went to a table.
“I lost a year of my life just to stress right now.” The King remarks with a tired face.
“My dear, just enjoy the rest of the night.” The queen says.
“Don’t we have something else we should talk about?” The prince asks.
“Yes, yes. Sophia, how would you feel with Lucia here marrying my son.”
“No!.” I say.
Monica starts to laugh really hard.
“What is so fun?” The king asks, a little offended.
Monica can’t and Sophia is too shy to answer.
“I don’t want to compromise myself to you both yet, so let’s just say the prince can’t handle me.”
“I have plenty of experience with women.” The prince says, proud of himself.
“And with men?”
All 3 of them freeze a little and Monica starts to laugh harder, to the point where she has to cover her mouth so other people don’t hear her.
“Lucia, sweety, if I made this proposal to any girl here they would be on her knees right now, praising the gods for their good luck.”
“Queen, there is something you need to know. I don’t care. If you want any meaningful relationship between me and your son, first he has to be at least as strong as me. Second he needs to be at least as smart as me. And finally he must have the stamina to keep up with me.” I don’t imply anything sexual here in my tone.
“You have really high standards for a peasant” The king remarks.
“Let’s say I marry your son, what do I gain with it?”
“I am personally looking for a way to help Sophia with the problem you also have, if we find a way to help her, maybe we can help you.” The queen explains.
She is probably talking about the fact that we both can’t have children.
“You told her?” I ask Sophia.
“Yes, shouldn’t I?”
“... Ok, let’s ignore this, what is done is done.” I say. This is a little too personal but let’s ignore this to show some good will. She probably is trying to help me.
“So, what do you say?” The queen asks again.
“I still have to refuse. My situation is not something that can’t be changed without dire consequences to myself.”
“Nothing will sway you?” The king asks.
“Why are all of you so fixed on me anyway? I am not even a noble. There should be plenty of women that would do a better job at being a princess than me.”
The King and The Prince stay silent for a few seconds.
“Because you are the first one who actually treated my son as an equal, somewhat.” The Queen explains.
Sophia is looking at me with puppy eyes begging me to at least consider. After a few seconds of this Monica also looks at me with a devil smile ready to say something. I don’t give her the chance and give in. I have no idea what could happen but let’s give it a shot, I have to live this life right now anyway.
“Ok. But we do things my way.”
“What do you mean?” The prince asks, surprised.
“Come to Sagrada when I am there and we talk.”
“Sure, I will take some guards and …”
“No! You, alone, not as a prince, but as you. I don’t care about your title, if you want all of this YOU must be worth it.” I say while pointing to all of myself.
“This could be a good opportunity, we will arrange it.” The King says.
The prince clearly has something that he wanted to say but this topic is over.
Monica leaves the table again without warning and I enjoy some small talk about the economy with the people there.
The prince tried to get a little touchy with me but pointing Yin at him below the table was enough to make him stop.
At some point everyone else leaves the table leaving me alone with Sophia.
“Thank you for at least going with it. I didn’t think you would.” Sophia says to me.
“On the small chance that the prince is actually more than what he shows I will try, but he will be in a word of pain.”
“What do you mean?”
“He has a personal army more or less, right? I'm going to see if he really knows how to fight.”
“Don’t kill the prince.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
We then stop for a few moments to get some air and drink some water.
“I wonder how the situation with the Maka Kingdom is going.” I say.
“News of this kind is not the thing you will get until something actually happens.”
“No one came after me so far, at least in Sagrada.”
“Do you really want to go back there?”
“Yes.”
“Even if they stop?”
“Stopping is not enough, they have to pay. I also need to find someone.”
“You really care about him, don’t you.”
“He was the only person who was ready to die for me just because he liked me.”
“Lucia, not to minimize your opinion, but are you sure he liked you that much?”
“He did the equivalent of attacking the King here.”
“...”
“Let’s change the topic to something more neutral. I wonder why the nobles didn’t try to ask me directly if I would work for them?”
“They are scared of you, me and the King.”
“Why?”
“You don’t really hear these rumors as people in these circles don’t talk with you but everyone thinks you are working for me and the King. It would be impolite to try to steal you.”
“Let’s hope they have the balls to make their places better for the common people.”
The amount of times I saw an honest politician in my old life can be counted on one hand. I would have been unemployed if people in power did something useful to their citizens.
After that we leave the table, go around a little, I see Sophia talking with a man, drinking and having fun for the first time. My curiosity will have to wait as I think it would be for the best to leave her as it is.
It is almost midnight, the party is stopping for a moment so we can look at the windows and fireworks but just before that we hear actual explosions.
“Everyone! Evacuate immediately.” A Royal Guard says in a panic after opening the door to the room.
People start to leave in a hurry but not in panic, I stay there and after a few minutes when the place is almost empty Sophia reaches me along with the man.
He is huge, at least 2 meters tall, shaved black hair but he is not bald, his skin is tanned but looks like he is caucasian behind the tan, also he is pure muscle, this man has too much muscle, he looks like the people who really like to hit the gym and would live there if possible.
“We have to go.” She says to me in a hurry.
“It would be for the best if I stayed here.”
“Why?”
“Do you really think that the people of the church will just let this slide? If I was in their place I would get this opportunity to attack me.”
“What?” The man says in a rough voice.
“Hello stranger. For now you two should go fight whatever is on the city, I can take care of them now.”
“Lucia, this is serious! You should…” She stops mid sentence and her eyes widen. “Look out!” Both of them shout while grabbing me and pushing me to the ground.
A giant stone fly through the big window in the room landing just a few meters from us. Then just as fast what I can only describe as a werewolf in pants comes from the same place and lands on the stone.
“You, kill them!” The werewolf says to me.
I stand up with my guard up.
“Why should I?”
“You can eat as much as you want later, just kill those dirty humans and let's get the main meal.”
“Nova Blast!” I say while pointing my hand at him.
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” He screams as my spell burns him.
I then put my new blessing to use. Since I can just do what I want if that is possible I think of a way to use fire as thrusters and fly myself to the werewolf. As I prepare a spell, knowledge passes really fast through my brain and before I know what I wanted happened.
Below my feet, arms, chest and head small fire thrusters appear without burning me or anything else launching me through the air towards the werewolf.
I prepare Mira to chop his head off in a single swing but the thing dodges and runs at an incredible speed to the side.
“You Bitch! Your smell is just like us but you are human, aren’t you?”
“And here I was thinking the bath was good enough.”
He is pissed and after a single howl he grows a little bigger, probably 2.2 meters.
“I am going to tear everyone here open and eat your hearts!” He screams at us.
As much as Sophia is strong, she needs actual gear to fight. She uses two spells to temporarily blind the demon and run full speed with the man.
“We will be back in a few minutes, survive until then.” She shouts to me.
“There is probably more on the streets, you should go there instead.” I shout back.
At this point they finally leave the room.
“Leaving a child alone, what cruel adults, don’t you think?” The demon says, taunting me.
I guess the demons don’t get mindless in the presence of humans as I imagined, they just get evil. The one I fought before was not a one-time case.
“Yeah, your parents let you come here. If you stop and answer my questions I promise to not kill you.”
“You are only a half-breed. You will never get the power we have, I will try to make this quick.”
“Doggy, there is where you are wrong. I may not be the strongest person in the world but I am pretty sure I am in the selected few who can blow it up.”
“What!”
“Zero Oxygen, Burn!” I say with a devil smile on my face while holding my hand forward. Right now I am trying a new spell I couldn’t do before, at least not on the scale I wanted. A fire spell that burns oxygen down to atoms in a big area.
At this moment all the oxygen in front of me, including his body is being burned constantly by an invisible heat wave.
“Ah…” he tries to say something but just in a few seconds he drops. I stab him a few times just to make sure he stays dead before chopping his head.
As I try to walk to the door I realise something. I am on fire and my hair is red.
My mana circulation is not stopping, in fact it is on maximum velocity without me doing anything. I guess this is part of the price, there is no way this is everything by the tone that dipshit said.
Against my better judgment I use Yin and Yang to cut part of my dress making it more movable as I don’t think I will get the chance to change.
Another rock flies towards the room again coming all the way from the city but this time no one comes along with it.
I then decide to go through the window flying towards the city instead of staying in the castle. If the people there can’t at least run, they should just die.
As I go out the window and circle the castle a little I find the garden where I came before. It is now at least 50% destroyed by rocks and fire.
I continue to fly to the city, probably will reach the big royal district just outside the castle if I remember right. I don’t think demons will reach this place so soon so I will wait in the big church I know is there for demons and the church itself.
As I fly I see that there is a lot of fighting happening outside and in the wall of the city.
I go down to the streets. Lots of guardsmen and knights running back and forth from the castle.
The streets are made out of white bricks. Most houses are painted white too or made out of something that looks like really shiny white bones.
The big church is really easy to find. A big white square temple as big as mansions from artists would be in my old world.
As I enter, to my surprise, there is no one there.
“Hello!?” I shout.
A really young priest comes out from below a bench.
“I-is-is it safe already?” he asks terrified.
“It depends if you want to kill me or not.” I say in the most monotone I can.
“Ahhh! Someone help me.” He shouts in fear.
No one answers him. He probably is the only one here.
“Why is someone like you here? This place looks too important to leave to someone as young as you.”
“They left me here. I am not their messiah, goddammit! I am still 15 years old, I don’t want to die!” He half-screams half-cries while trying to get below a bench again.
“Then just leave.”
“I can’t! A really powerful demon is in the castle and I have to kill it or a lot of people will die, including me if I don’t follow orders. Waaah!”
“I killed it already. It was a werewolf, weren’t it?”
“No, it was a girl...with two small swords… and a big one… and she uses fire….” he says while looking at me realizing that I am probably his target.
“As a priest of the church I will now exorcize you demon.” he shouts while standing up. I can’t get a single detail on his appearance besides the fact that he is white due to his clothes covering everything else.
“You know, I am not a demon.”
“Prove it!” he says while preparing a rune in his hands.
“I did not attack you.”
“I was told you aren’t consumed by your desire to kill, you will have to do more than that.”
“Like what?” I say annoyed.
“I don’t know. They never told me what to do in this situation.”
“JUST KILL THIS EVIL DEMON MESSIAH!” someone shouts from the doors.
“Bishop, is she the demon?” The man asks the old man I almost killed at the party before.
“Yes, she is evil, she goes against the gods that brought you to us.” He says to him.
“Oh! Just so you know, I am also like you. Here is the magic world. Internet.”
“What?” The priest says confused.
The priest stops his runes and almost starts to cry as he starts to run towards me and hugs me out of nowhere. I didn’t sense any ill intent so I let him.
“I am so glad, I am not alone. Help me please, these people are crazy.” He says sobbing at me.
“Sure...That was almost the plan. Just run away and be safe until this is over. May I ask your name?”
“Call me Mess as I haven’t been addressed any other way than Messiah for the past 15 years.”
“Sure thing Mess. We will be best friends when this is over.” I say with an evil smile while looking at the bishop.
“You bitch. Stop seducing our good man.” The priest shouts at me while Mess runs to the back of the place.
“My dear bishop, nothing that is happening here is my fault.” I say as I have no idea if what he said is true. I guess I have some power over men that don’t show up regularly.
“I was wishing I didn’t have to resort to this but all their lives will serve a greater purpose. Bilgruf, come!” The bishop says.
As he finishes a humanoid demon appears in front of us. He is a shadow in human form with two bat wings and two goat horns in the head.
“Goodnight ladies and gentleman.” The demon says in a really creepy voice. It echoes in your very soul.
“Kill her and be gone.” The bishop shouts.
“All in due time you sack of worthless meat. Little girl, have you met your demon parents?”
“No, why?” I answer while putting up my guard.
“What a shame. Maybe after this child they will finally appear.” He says while an evil smile going from ear to ear appears in his face and he jumps towards me creating giant claws from his hand to cut me.
I create thrusters in front of my body and fly backwards to dodge. This thing is bad news. I can’t get hit.
“HAHAHA! What an amusing use of magic we have here. Let’s see how you fare against this.” He says while pointing the index finger in his right hand at me.
I create both a fire and electric barrier around me while charging mira with mana and putting her in front of me.
“Demon Art, Shadow Realm!” he shouts.
Shadows appear around me and engulf me before I know. A few seconds later they vanish and I see myself in a grassland surrounded by people fighting demons.
“You survive that? I guess it is time to get serious.” The demons says, in the sky while diving towards me.
