It has been a week since I started Alice's training and it has been fruitful for the both of us. Alice has learned to use her powers proficiently enough for to have to fight her seriously to win. I had even managed to teach her all my traits with the exception of [Holy Resistance] due to it's strict requirents. She learnt them quite quickly due to having [Demonic Energy Manipulation] thus gaining the instinctive ability to manipulate demonic energy which I lacked as a Halfling.
I also gained a few insights on how to use my [Hell Fire Affinity]. I had mostly only created fireballs, streams of fire or a fire javelin. Now however, I started to practice creating other objects using hellfire and most importantly, I have learned to control my flas from a range. I could now control my flas within 30 ters of myself, allowing to change their trajectory or even explode them from a distance.
Alice and I were doing sword training as usual under the glow of the moon. By now we were also using our [Hell Fire Affinity] and [Shadow Affinity] skills respectively during training, incorporating them into our fighting styles. As I was searching for Alice I heard sothing in the distance.
"Alice." I said and she imdiately materialized beside . We flew in the direction we heard the sound, as we got closer, I started to hear the sound louder and louder and I couldn't help but activate [Aura Vision]. When I saw what was causing the noise, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.
"It looks like we won't have to go out and search for undeads on our own then." I said gleefully.
We continued flying in the direction of the red auras for a few minutes before we finally laid eyes on our prey. Unlike what I expected, they weren't undeads. They were small red humanoids the size of a child, they had small red horns on their head and a small red spear tip tail. Their irises were red like ours but they seed like a small fla was dancing in their eyes and their scleras were charcoal black. They were rummaging through the debris, collecting scraps and throwing things all over the place in what looked like a child throwing a tantrum. Looking at them, I knew I had seen my first real Demon and my first thought was, these things were kind of cute, they looked way less nacing than an undead especially with their height. But that wasn't going to stop from killing them.
"Let's go, Alice." I said and flew towards these Demons.
"Okay." Alice said following right behind .
We flew towards the Demons and they squeaked in fear when they saw us approaching them. One of the Demons ran away as soon as we appeared and before either of us could go after it, the other Demons stood in our way with flaming claws. They lunged at us and we quickly separated causing the demons to split into two groups. One of the demons lunged at with it's flaming claw and wanting to see how strong it was I t it with a flaming punch. When my fist ca into contact with it's claws my hell flas imdiately spread over it's entire body, burning it's entire body charcoal black as it scream in pain and I plunged my sword into it's throat, ending it's suffering.
[You have slain a level 8 Imp. You have gained 480 exp.]
[Your [Hell Fire] grows stronger.]
I haven't seen these notifications in a week and quite honestly, the feeling and knowledge that I was growing stronger made excited and filled with energy.
Seeing their comrade's corpse being burnt to ashes didn't deter the other imps as they lunged at with their flaming claws. Knowing how weak they were, I didn't bother to toy with them anymore and instead decided to end this quickly. I flew into the air and created 6 large javelins made of hell fire. I then threw them towards the imps and they jumped out of the way but I changed their trajectory, making them hit their targets. Then I snapped my finger and all of the javelins exploded taking the imps back to the Underworld where they belong.
[You have slain 3 level 9 Imps. You have gained 1620 exp.]
[You have gained a level. You are now level 5/15.]
[You have slain a level 10 Imp. You have gained 600 exp.]
[You have slain 2 level 8 Imps. You have gained 960 exp.]
I looked over to see how Alice is doing and as expected of my first student, she was easily dominating the fight. She had all of the imps wrapped in shadow tentacles and then she decapitated all of them using her sword. After she was done, she flew over towards .
"Should we tell Synthia about this?" Alice asked.
"Sadly, yes." I said. We haven't seen Synthia since the horde and I was busy training Alice so I didn't bother visiting her.
"Let's go." I said and flew off towards the mansion.

Third Person POV
In the forest outside of City B, the sa imp that ran away from Colin and Alice at the beginning could be seen running. Colin had tried to search for the imp using [Aura Vision] but he didn't find anything which either ant that the imp was outside of his skill's range or it had so kind stealth ability like Alice, either way he didn't care, after all how much trouble could one imp be, right. Unfortunately for him, he was about to find out. The imp soon reached a large clearing in the forest where a huge bonfire raged and surrounding it were taller red humanoids eating at. There were also many tents littering the clearing that looked to be made from animal hides. The imp entered one of the huts and inside was another red skinned humanoid but unlike the others this one was covered in white tribal tattoos.
"What do you have to report?" The Demon asked in a deep masculine voice.
"We encountered a True Demon and a vampire in the human city, chief! They slaughtered all my brothers!" The imp said, his voice a bit high pitched as he trembled in rage.
"Oh, that's interesting. A true demon and a vampire huh, they should make excellent opponents for a warrior of Bellicus such as I." The Demon said and his irises glowed brighter and looked more like flas dancing in the night sky.
