It had been three days since they had a run-in with the demon spawns, since then, they were ordered told by the teachers to stay indoors as the teachers search for whatever demon was releasing spawns in the forest with some higher-grade students.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g2Iesi1Sj
Zoe was among said students and Hunter was yet to see her since. He was tired of staying in the suite doing nothing but he couldn't do anything except oblige to the teacher's instructions.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU5lST1vid
While every other student finds something to keep them occupied, the trio decided to play some chess as they wait for the teachers to handle the situation.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahdV296uul
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdC7t6RLe5
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHrGUQynno
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG6hDrgYiC
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydGtRNaWvo
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFosau1XVd
Hunter picks a bottle of water and passes it to Sydney, "I was meaning to ask you," Martin stated, "why is there so much bottled water in your room?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSm9rtwtbX
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGIUsaDNvb
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0zCi8dUvf
'Huh?'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDruBMSsB
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kMyTkMVP6
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQwKIXDW7V
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6YdDaJBJU
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu0NItHpOM
"Something's coming this way."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUKNtiOG6p
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQV1xY1GMP
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEso6y893W
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRmPnFLwwM
"A pure demon!" He exclaimed. Before they could react, a wave force hit the building, forcing it to destroy and crumble to the ground. Hunter quickly twists and catches the falling Sydney in his arms before carefully landing on his feet.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkltiDkaSc
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFCLHwf1B7
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVexSfHWge
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo2qIFytrB
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EQMGhG8fx
"What?" Sydney queried
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLC77trVvj
"We're in its domain,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10cGRi9vaj
"Students!" A teacher called, he was the only teacher that stayed behind at the suite while the others went in search of the demon, the same demon that was now coming for them.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj2fdqz8i2
The teacher swings his hands trying to form a portal but nothing happens, "Magic negation ..." He whispered to himself, "All of you! Run the other way, I'll hold it off!"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdFZ6r3IJc
Hunter and the others began racing the other way but no matter how far they ran, the dark mist seem to stretch farther, "What now?" A student wondered.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfhouRZgNQ
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfs0WFmk7J
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2ZiRuszJ
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZGVPSA4uu
"No," she shakes her head, "Whatever this is," she made a sweeping motion with her arm that encompassed their surrounding of dark mist, "It's stopping me from doing anything,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkWTHvJY8r
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz8vCUyR2i
"It's coming!" Hunter warned the others and as if on cue, the demon pops out from below the ground in front of them before floating in the air, cackling as it stood above the terrified students.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eixb5S2vF
The demon was large with black lines running across its entire body. It had a helmet-like head that didn't cover its teeth, horns for where the eyes are supposed to be, and two black lines that zigzag down its face. Its arms were entirely black while its fingers were white.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUMSPITh3J
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbIMAZ3CmZ
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2xbmUJGRk
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkOa3LW4tq
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzEvIlnzHI
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrosxXx9Uux
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdozNR8pmk
"That's j --" the demon sighs, "alright, pay attention, I'm going to teach you a new skill," He stated, "See the mist around you, how do you think they were formed?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJalY9eRAIq
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDDvpP0qIL
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgX7d049Ye
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbnygtmTWH
"You're looking at this wrongly," his demon sighed, "here's your first lesson: in every magic spell or whatever, there is always an energy to be harnessed from it,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43JQ1mVmVN
"Oh,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZuXMIYzGG
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrZhx9vn3b
"Okay ..."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznkrMz8Gft
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NXvTsvKy7
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo3TYIyjzm
Hunter focused and focused until he began to feel the energy, it wasn't much but yet, it was stronger than anything he had ever felt before. His hands glow blue as energy forms around his fist and his eyes turn a deeper shade of green.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ0oUwyMox
The pure demon seems to notice the sudden burst in energy as it quickly turned its attention to Hunter, in shock at first but it quickly regains its composure and lowers down to the ground.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkQhR3nDCm
Hunter rushes toward the pure demon and throws a right jab at it followed by a quick left. The pure demon avoids this by moving in opposite directions.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2VAAsKSUD
The pure demon countered with some strikes of its own, throwing a right cross which Hunter avoids by spinning and hitting it with his elbow.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ4ayuhMda
The pure demon staggers backward and seeing an opening, Hunter quickly moves and attempts a roundhouse kick but the pure demon catches his leg and flings him away. As he flies backward, he sees the pure demon disappear and reappear in front of him, hitting him with an uppercut, and sending him crashing into the ground, causing it to crack.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVtSWPG7w1
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNo3IXzg6z
Hunter got up from the ground causing the pure demon to grit its teeth. It formed some dark energy blast and launches it continuously at its opponent, when the dust settles, Hunter emerged shirtless.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgNRauQg3z
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbARDL0XNgG
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q27LczN5I
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq0JTlBINn
'Really? I didn't know that!'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LTcBLG4N
"You can't see me but I just rolled my eyes," his demon says, "What I mean is he is a very strong demon and the energy from the mist is much lower than the one he has,"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PYKSPlp8S
'What if I draw energy from him?'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLFHfA6St
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9smHmXO3
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOEaQnQRpB
"Give me control of your body."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxBGRXNQuC
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hwg71NLCr
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVgj8nwgMO
'What's the catch?'
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0aMH2eu5r
"None!" His demon exclaimed, "I happen to live inside of your body and I'm pretty sure it's in my best interest you remain alive. Also, it's really difficult finding someone to bond with, so ... Give. Me. Control." His demon stated
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9rnCALfcg
"Fine."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzTXxT6o4y
Hunter's pupil disappears momentarily and they return as his demon was now in control. He looked the same if not for the loose hair stretching down to the shoulders and with unique markings on his forehead, nose, cheeks, and torso.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2FV3tgz8
He also had two lines on both his wrists and upper arms, circles on both his shoulders with a dot in each, two-segmented curve lines on his chest, and two lines on his stomach.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaQ2I9qfdK
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFA1yKV30S
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk12jRsO1hn
The pure demon began launching a series of attacks at Demon Hunter, who easily avoids the attacks as he puts on the buttons of the shirt and roll up his sleeves.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lOSxygv6Y
Once Demon Hunter was finished with the sleeves, he looked up at the pure demon, "let us begin then," he smirked, as the words leaves his tongue, the dark mist disperses causing the now confused pure demon to freeze in its tracks.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6q92DkDKk
Before the pure demon could figure out what was happening, Demon Hunter had already closed the short distance between them both before punching the pure demon in its left shoulder, it felt nothing but dark energy through its body before its black hand blows out of the body.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSMbjUemT0
"This was boring," Demon Hunter stated before grabbing the pure demon's right wrist, the pure demon screams and screams as its skin ages and ages before falling to the ground.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5l4SARSXb
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k7nNrz7kI
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOmSkVtEei
***
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tbngy0dt7
Hunter wipes his eyes as he opens them to find Lauren looking at him, next to her was another teacher, Mr. Daniel, the one who thought him how to cast a domain.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTIZobomp9
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW3B9oaOOf
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjy0KWzgu
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6scCYrIQG9
He looked around the room, he was surrounded by an old concrete wall with dots of crystal like stones poking out of the cracks. On one side of the room was a sink with a mirror above it and next to his bed was a toilet.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGai4T5vYw
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyPWrvvMj6
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRdyygRXcj
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfOwFUtTOs
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
