Chapter 72 - Demon Hunt

His thoughts had been confirmed but that still bagged the question.

'What is such a large group of demons doing here?'

"I thought you said those ones were the last ones," Luis said, referring to the two demons they had fought in their first training session.

"I thought they would be but something strange is going on and that's why I set up these cameras," Michael said. "There weren't demons here before but they started showing up the day your school got moved here."

"So you are saying someone is working with them," Luis said.

"I'm sure someone is working with them and I fear for the worst," Michael said looking at the screen. "But we have to get rid of these guys first."

"Ok, send your soldiers to deal with them then," Luis said.

"Soldiers." Michael chuckled. "You think those guys that stand guard near the forest outside your school are my soldiers?"

"Yeah, aren't they?"

Michael shook his head.

"The school authorities put them there, they say they don't want you guys wandering off but now I know there's more than that to it," Michael said.

He walked to a vault in the room and on opening it Luis' eyes widened in amazement.

In the vault were all sorts of weapons and then there was a pair of silver-colored boots and a black gauntlet with silver lines running through the tips.

"What do you need all these weapons for?"

"To get rid of problems like this," Michael said, putting on the gauntlet after which he grabbed the boots. "If you want to join me you can grab a weapon for yourself."

Of course, Luis would want to join him, he needed something to level up and this was perfect, he wasn't sure he would be able to take on such a number of demons on his own but with Michael, it wouldn't be much trouble.

Luis searched through the vault until he found a long sword that looked exactly like the one he had used during the VR training.

"You really like swords," Michael said, reaching for a silver-colored Katana blade. "So do I." He said putting the blade in the sheath on his back.

Michael looked like one of those warriors in fantasy novels who wore flashy amours and wielded flashy weapons.

"How are you going to walk out of the library like that?" Luis asked.

He knew that walking through the library dressed like that was going to draw attention to them but with the way Michael was smiling at him now he knew he had something else coming.

"Who said we are walking through the library?" Michael said hitting tapping his foot on the floor three times.

The center floor began to move and Luis jumped onto the side to prevent whatever that was happening there from affecting him.

That part of the floor cleared up to reveal what looked like a circular machine attached to the ground with blue light of energy flowing around it.

"Let's go," Michael said, stepping onto the machine.

"Go where?" Luis asked, a bit confused.

"Just get in here," Michael ordered.

Luis reluctantly walked into the machine and the next thing that happened surprised him.

All he saw was a white light covering him and now both of them were in the open land just a little distance away from the demons.

"What was that?"

"A teleporter, haven't you heard of it before?"

'This has to be how I got here.' Luis said putting together the similarities between how he arrived at Crockel, how he arrived in this school and how he just appeared outside now.

"I have but I didn't know there was one like this," Luis said.

"Well, now you know." Michael said unsheathing his Katana blade."Let's get this over with."

The demons were getting closer as Michael waited for the perfect time to move.

[ Quest received ]

[ You are on a demon hunt with your partner ]

[ Make a 50% contribution to the hunt ]

[ Quest Rewards ]

[ ???? ]

[ Progress: 0/100 ]

'There's a hundred of them?' Luis thought.

This was the exact number he had fought with his mates at the martial arts class but this was the real world now and it looked like Michael was taking this serious even though they were just weak demons.

Luis had once again received a quest where the rewards weren't made clear which just confused him more about the whole quest thing.

'Why not just make everything clear so I can know what I'm really doing the quest for?' Luis asked but he didn't get any reply from his system.

Immediately the demons got closer and spotted the duo they started growling at them and that was when fireballs came flying their way.

Luis rolled to the right while Michael rolled to the left in order to avoid the fireballs.

"Stay close Luis and if you ever get stuck, activate the weapon's skill," Michael said.

"Weapon's what? How do you do that?" Unfortunately for Luis, he couldn't get an answer to his question as Michael had already runoff.

"That's just wonderful."

Luis got back on his feet as he fought his way through the demons killing each of them in one strike of his sword.

"This sword is just as it is in the VR training," Luis said as he took off the head of the demon facing him before he could throw a fireball at him.

[ Progress: 12/100 ]

'I still have to kill more.'

Luis was able to step forward when a group of about twenty demons gathered in front of him and started a fireball shooting practice with him as the target.

Luis was fast as he constantly blocked the fireballs with his sword while dodging the ones he could dodge.

With a slight miss in step, he got hit by one of the fireballs on the shoulder.

[ -3 HP ]

"How do you activate this sword's stupid skill?" Luis grunted, a fire attack seemed to cause him more pain than dark magic.

[ Equipped weapon ]

[ The Flaming Sword ]

[ Active skill: Fire slash ]

In response to his cries, the system had given him the answer to his question.

'Fire slash? That sounds nice.'

[ Fire slash activated ]

All Luis needed to do was think of activating the skill and it worked the way he wanted.

Flames started to gather on the blade making the sword three times longer than it was but the added part was all flames.

Luis swung the sword at the first group of demons and the sword slashed them all into bits without any difficulty.

He did the same to the other and they were met with the same fate.

Two slashes, that was all that was needed to take care of up to twenty demons.

"A mystic weapon," Luis said thinking back to what Pearl and Tammy had said when he paid them both a visit.

[ Quest failed ]

[ Progress: 32/100 ]

[ Hunt over ]

Luis turned to where he had seen Michael run off to a few minutes ago only to see him standing there with his sword sheathed but there was no demon in sight.
