"Ho- how....what the fuck was that?" Claire asked, her eyes filled with excitent, and sothing deeper, desire. The others were also looking at with their eyes filled with a range of emotions, making smirk.
"Oh, nothing much…" I snapped my fingers and made a small fla appear in my palm. I noticed that the fla seed to have beco a darker shade of orange than before, even without pouring extra energy into it.
"…just a skill I picked up." I continued with a smirk on my face.
"That's so cool." Tim said, his eyes sparkling, filled with the sa desire as Claire. I noticed that Kirt and his friend that threatened Tim had an expression of fear on their face and they seed to have intentionally put so distance between us, and I flashed them a sinister grin, making them flinch.
"Damn right it is." I replied before making the flas disappear
"And let guess you can't teach anyone how to do it?" Claire said
"That's right, it looks like your finally getting it." I said and Claire just sighed
"By the way, how did you know those animals were coming at us?" Claire asked with a raised eyebrow, her tone wasn't accusatory, but I could tell she suspected sothing.
"That's a secret." I said and Claire sighed again.
The rest of the journey through the forest was peaceful with no more beast attacks but that didn't an we were out of problems. We still didn't have any bullets and we only had three swords between us but with being the only one that doesn't have to worry about being turned into a thrall everyone was reluctant to fight a thrall in close combat. And if that wasn't bad enough we were also running out of fuel, the driver had called over and told the problem in private, which was pretty smart of him, he said that we should have enough fuel to reach City B but then we were on our own. That was fine however, we could probably find another vehicle or I could leave everyone inside and go find help from those guys at Sanctuary but if they were attacked by thralls they'd be screwed.
After two more hours of driving, we arrived within City B, and the bus ca to a stop.
"What happened, why did the bus stop?" Kirt asked
"We are leaving the bus behind." I said and started walking towards the door.
"What, why?" He asked
"We ran out of fuel." I said as I stepped outside and he seed to have understood our situation as well as he quickly followed outside. We left the guns inside as they were useless now and took as much food as we could carry along with the swords. The city looked exactly like City A, with abandoned cars everywhere and the occasional corpse here and there. I started to doubt whether there was even a camp here with the city in this state but I didn't voice my thoughts.
We continued walking cautiously through the ruined streets for a while and I felt that sothing was off but I couldn't quite place it. It took a few minutes for to realize what was bothering , I haven't seen a single thrall since I got here, only a few unmoving corpses. Even if we weren't traveling by bus anymore, we should have at least have seen one by now. Concerned, I activated [Aura Vision] and although I didn't find any undeads close by, I sensed sothing I've never sensed before….a golden aura and it seed to be fighting an Undead. They were a bit of a distance away, but I could reach their within minutes, if I went by myself.
"Stay here I'll be back in a few minutes." I said and started running in the direction of the golden aura.
"Wha….." Claire started to say but I was too far away to hear what she said. I ran as fast as I could but the aura was still a ways away. I activated [Demon Transformation] and I was covered in black mist as I transford back into my true demon form, in which I was stronger, faster and had an extra mode of travel. Soon I had two horns, a pair of bat-like wings and a tail. I started to flap my wings and soon, I was soaring through the sky at a fast pace and I have to say, it was an amazing feeling. And soon, with my new speed, I reached my destination.
In front of was an Undead, and from the looks of it, a very powerful one and on the other side of the road was a bloody human with two white feathery wings on her back. She was holding a sword in her hand and she was looking between and the Undead nervously. I guess she must think I'm with this guy. I turned to the Undead and conjured a ball of fire in my hand and threw it at the creature. The fireball hit it in the chest and caused it to skid across the floor. It then rushed at and I flew towards it with my sword in hand but missed and received a claw to the chest and was sent flying into a building.

I got up off the ground brushing the dust off my clothes. I guess flying and fighting while flying are two different things. I ran towards the Undead, dodged it's claw strike and then strike it in the legs with my sword. The sword dug into the creatures thigh but when it reached the bone it snapped in half. I guess the sword can't handle my new strength, with my sword broken I decided to use my natural weapons….my claws. I used [Demon Enchant] covering my claws in a red aura, and I marvelled at how much easier it was to use the trait for a second before I lunged at the Undead and slashed at it's throat but it blocked it with it's hands. I jumped behind it held the back of it's neck with my hand and it clawed my hand but the damage done was negligible so I didn't let go.
Suddenly it's neck started glowing bright orange and the sll of burnt flesh perated the air.
[You have slain a level 8 Undead. You have gained 480 exp.]
Soon the Undead's body went limp and it's head fell to the ground as it's neck was reduced to ashes. Even though it was dead I allowed my flas to reduce the rest of it's body to ashes.
[Your [Hell Fire] has grown stronger.]
