Chapter 101. Demon World’s New Ace

103 Chapter 101. Demon World’s New Ace

She swung her Holy Chain and extended it towards me. While I flicked my wings to fly up to avoid it and only stopped after her chain stopped extending.

"Get down you coward!" she snapped.

"Pffttt! Why do I need to obey you?" I answered in a casual tone. Thankfully, I wore different clothes from the one I wore when I met her this morning.

"Then I will take you down!" Her other hand was directed at me and white light shot out from it. I simply dodged it to the side and sent that white light into the sky behind me.

Unwilling to give up, she fired her Holy Blast at me repeatedly. While I manoeuvred in the mid-air, shifted my body side to side, letting the white light pass through me.

After a few shots, she stopped, even though she still had a lot of MP, I could see her gasping.

"Save your Magic Power. I'm not your enemy," I tried to calm her down.

"Are you trying to say that you are my friend?" she said sarcastically.

"Do you think you can trick me with such a cheap lie? You crazy demon!" Another white light shot out from her palm.

I shifted my head to the side and the light passed over my shoulder.

"I never said that. I just don't want to continue this fight." My enemies were the demons, not the demon hunters. I also didn't want to attack her because that would only lead to misunderstanding.

"I will excuse myself," I said politely, hoping she doesn't get in my way anymore. But when I just turned to the side, suddenly a white light was shot at me. I retreated and the light passed me an inch in front of my face.

A tired breath came out of my mouth as I turned my head to her in annoyance.

"Cut it out. I told you I don't want to continue this fight." Even though her level was above me, she was under the Demonic Curse and I could move freely in the sky. Even without fighting, I could already guess the result.

"I want to talk!" she said, her hand was still on me.

"About what?" I asked.

"About this!" she said as she waved her hand, showing the mess around her.

"That's another demon's doing, not me." Well, I was not sure she would believe what I said.

And as expected, she gave me a sneer.

"Not your doing. Yeah, right," she said sarcastically.

"If you don't believe me, why do you even bother to ask?"

Again, I was just about to leave but she fired her Holy Blast again. This time instead of dodged it, I took out my Demonic Spike and countered with one of my lances.

- Boom!

An explosion occurred in our midst. A strong wind was blowing from where the explosion occurred as she kept her footing, while I didn't budge. Feeling that she wouldn't let me go before I gave her an explanation, I decided to give her a chance to speak.

Seeing that I wasn't leaving, she lowered her hand.

"Tell me! What happened at the border? Why did you guys send so many demons here?"

"I'm still trying to find out what happened. About those demons, no one sent them. They came by themselves."

"Hmph!" she snorted in disbelief.

"No one sent them? That many demons?" She replied with a sarcastic tone.

"That's right. They escaped from the dark dimension due to the crack between the demon world and the human world. And they has to eat humans to maintain their existence. That's why I and several other demons are trying to fix this problem and close the crack. " Of course what I meant by 'other demons' were Lilieth and the other four Demon Generals. I took the conclusion that they were also in the human world because I remembered that Lilieth and that tentacle man mentioned their names.

She paused for a moment after hearing my words and glared at me.

"If all demons have to eat humans to maintain their existence, doesn't that mean you have to do the same?!" Her hand raised and she fired her Holy Blast again.

I moved my index finger, a lance flew to counter it.

- Boom!

Another explosion occurred amidst us as our attacks collided in the mid-air.

"You said you only wanted to talk. So please mind your manners, " I warned her.

[You have shot a Crocodile Demon for 65 HP. ] X3

And he turned to ashes.

I just reached out my hand and cast my Dark Energy but suddenly a white chain launched from my side.

- Clang!

I brushed it off with my lances.

"What are you doing?" I glared at Ruby.

While she responded to me with the same gaze.

"I won't let you bring your friends---- aaaahhhh!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was thrown with an invisible force and fell into the sea.

'Ethan, close the crack. We'll take care of it from here.' Lilieth's voice resounded in my head.

I turned to the crack and saw Lilieth standing in a black swamp surrounded by hundreds of demons. Her hand extended to them, an invisible barrier kept the demons from reaching this crack. A messy black-haired man with an arrogant face was standing beside her. He only wore black trousers with a tattoo under his left eye, showing his well-built body clearly with a big diagonal scar on his back. A skull glowed in green light in his hand.

"Is he your new ace?" His eyes looked at me in disdain.

"He is one of you. You have to be more polite to him, Sarael," Lilieth replied in a calm tone.

As soon as I heard the name 'Sarael', I quickly realized that he was one of the Demon Generals.

Sarael gave me a smirk.

"Don't disappoint us, boy." The skull in his hand grew brighter, the ground around the swamp turned into black flames that burned all the demons around them.

My eyes widened in shock once again.

'Is this a Demon General's power?'

"What are you waiting for? Close the crack," Lilieth's voice dispersed my thoughts.

"Be careful," I said as I extended my hand and used my Dark Energy skill.

[The crack has closed.]

[You have used up 2 DP.]

*Ting!*

[You have gained EXP!]

"You coward!" Ruby's shout indicated she was fine.

I walked to the side of the bridge and knelt on one knee. My eyes stared at Ruby who swam in the calm sea since we were still in my Devil Space. Her eyes looked at me angrily.

"Need my help?" I said in calm tone. Even though she was quite close to the shore and could swim well, she was still under the Demonic Curse influence.

She responded to me by stretching out her hand and firing her Holy Blast again. Like before, I moved my index finger and one of my lances flew to counter it.

- Boom!

An explosion created a wind that brushed my hair and shook the sea's surface around her.

"I will take that as a no." I stood up and almost turned around but she screamed again.

"You coward! Wait there and fight me like a real man!" she taunted.

I chuckled.

"I'm not a man. I'm a demon," I said in an indifferent tone. Then I turned around.

"Adios. Don't forget what I said," I reminded her once again.

"Come back here!" she screamed.

My feet continued to move as I ignored her screams. A cellphone lying near me caught my attention since the name 'Ruby' written with pink glitter was on the back of the case. A thought crossed my head and I took it.

' I'll borrow your cellphone for a while.'
