Chapter 181 - The Two Strange Figures 2

Sunday felt elated. 

The sound of his fist crunching into the faces of the Imps was amazing to him. It was on a whole different level, compared to the last time when he had to dace imps without the backing of his Sage Form one. 

Now, it felt all too easy. the swing of his arm and the crush of a demon imp's face. His reaction time was superb too. he was able to sense the tails of the demons swing in before they actually happened. A sort of future sensory ability that allowed him to effortlessly stay out of the range of their attacks. 

Now that he did this, a thought flashed in his mind, reminding him of the time when he was still back in Orun. Now, he was a completely different person. Someone who did not fear the imps. 

In fact, he dared to say that the imps were all too easy for him. Too easy compared to then. Now, he was almost on the level of what he call an expert. 

And even the more, he did not have Niniola at his backing to help him. Which added some p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to how he went about the swings of his attacks. To be honest, if he wanted to grade himself, he would say he had improved greatly. 

But then the fact remained, this was not on the strength of his own power. It was all of Bane. And until he could fund everything by his own arm, he would not truly attain that level he wanted. 

But until then, this was enough for me, at least. It was not just enough, it was more than enough. He would keep on improving and then when it was right, he knew that he would not hesitate to surpass his limits. 

Even at that, it was satisfying to see that he was being watched. That too, by the person who he had just met, that is, Shino. And even more, the person they happened to save was busy watching him in awe. 

It truly was satisfying. 

'Yeah, that's right! Watch me. Watch me get stronger than usual. All of you, even those at Orun, look down to Earth and watchmy strength grow. That weakling who you all despised, watch how I take on demons all by myself.' Sunday sighed to himself. 

It was brief, even though it was interesting all through but he he needed more. However, the weight behind his punches had eventually proved their worth and now, the demons were almost about all decimated. 

No, not about. They were totally annihilated. The only proof to their existence being the poof of smoke and energy that was dissipating into thin air. 

He snorted out, a rather arrogant look to his face as he stuck out a heroic pose, his hands to the opposite sides of him, fists clenched while his body continued to be coated in the wreath of Agbara.

'Yes, look at me. That weakling has become something!' He said to himself. 

Boy, you sure are c.o.c.ky!' Bane sounded reproachful from within the soul space of Sunday. 

unday did not pay any heed to the voice of his soul bond. Rather, he remained still, lettiing the dust of the demons iddipate totally until al was clear about him. And when that happened, he put his hands to his side and sigehd out. 

"Hmph!" He sighed. 

"Wow." The Were Hawk Shino spurted out, his eyes full f imaginary stars that floated about as he beheld the face of Sunday. "Just as the true Irunmole would do. It took you so less of time to take out the entire horde. Just how powerful are you? Or were you just reserving your strength back then?" Shino said, clapping his hands rather excitedly. 

Sunday winked an eye at him, raising a thumbs up of the left hand into the air. 

"I hope I can be as strong as you are." Shino said again and then hugged himself, a wide grin pasted on his face. 

After that, Sunday's eyes drifted past him to the form of the human girl. 

he could cultivate. 

that piqued his interest in her. But then, to be sure of what to do, he looked to Shino and then asked his question. 

"So, Shino, now that we happnd to save this lady, what happens next? Where do we find this Sage? And who might she be?" He asked, a light fown settling on his face.

"oh!" Shino said and then turned around to look at the huamn gir.. he smirked as he saw her now and then shrugged his shoulders. 

"That is the person we are to meet." 

"Uh?" Sunday gasped. 

What did Shino mean by that? the person that they had come to meet was a Sage and not just someone who was able to have some residual energy in her. 

"What do yo mean? We are here to see the sage right?"

"Yes. She is the Sage!" Shino replied, looking at the mortified Aderonke. 

Sunday's jaw wanted to drop down to the ground. once again, he could not believe the words that he heard. Shino had to definitely be playing a joke on him. 

"Do you think this is funny, Shino? Where is the Sage that we are to meet?" Sunday asked, one mroe time, his frown deepening. 

"What?" Shino glowered back. "I just told you that she is the sage that we are to come to. Or do you have any problems with the fact that the Sage is a lady? Don't tell me you are one of those masculinist too?" Shino retorted.

"Don't make jokes bout this. I am working on a very tight schedule here. Is she the one or what?" Sunday fired, pointing a finger to Aderonke. 

It is at this point that Aderonke decides she had ha enough. 

She whimpered, holding her hands to her mouth as she tried to stifle the scream that was building in her throat. It was one thing to fight demons and all that but then it was just the matter of demons, The fact that they were demons made it easy for you to direct your anger and all that to them. 

But here, right before her, she had seen the two of the contrast against that. But then their reaction after that suggested to her that they just might be the same demons that she had glimpsed on then. Now, they just happened to have transformed their appearance and even that was terrifying. 

Especially the one with the body of yellow flames all about him. His power was even amazing and she was scared of that now.

For them to have done that and now declare that they wanted her... 

She had to b.u.t.t out of here, and she had to do that fast too. As fast as she could do. After all, it was only but a few meters from here to her gates and then she would be away from their reach.

She clasped her hands together, readying to begin her technique. "Law of War: Furious..."

"Aderonke, wait!" A voice sounded behind here, and quite sharp too. However, it did not sound like the voice of the one with the coating of yellow over him. 

this voice was different and it seemed rather familiar. 

She froze and then slowly turned around to the watch who had called her. It was without doubt that the other one had called to her. the one with the wings and that raised her curiosity especially with the fact that his voice was warm too. 

"It is me. I just happened to have changed a bit." The voice sounded as she turned fully, looking into the yellow eyes of the winged fellow. 

"It is me, Shino. The Were Hawk. And I need your help just about now."

The eyes were large and round. And in a way they seemed cute. Just then recognition fluttered in her eyes. She could remember the person now although i came in glimpses but she was sure not that this person was not just among the demons that she had thought she saw. 

It gave her a little headache but she could swear that she had seen this person somewhere. So even though she was not so familiar with the name, she decided to paly along. 

As for the other one, she had never seen him before.  And his presence seemed rather ominous. She would have to be wary about him. But then again, he seemed just as the Story Teller had described Irunmoles to her.
