We just ca out of the alley and walked a few ters. Suddenly I could feel a drastic change around , it was suddenly quiet, too quiet ... Even I couldn't hear the sound of the wind, little animals, bugs or anything.
The stink stench pierced my nose along with an announcent in a red box in front of .
[!!! Warning !!! ]
[Other Demons detected!]
[You have just entered another demon's Devil Space.]
My heart was pounding, my adrenaline was boosted and my fighting spirit flared up. I could clearly feel the thick Demonic Aura surround . My Demonic instinct continues to flare up, as if to say this is my place, my arena, this is where demons like should be. Unconsciously, my hands were clenched, my eyes glinted in excitent as a grin growing on my lips.
'I want to fight ... I want to defeat them all ... I want to show my dominance ...'
-Bruukkk!
A heavy object falling sound returned my consciousness as Ethan.
"Ugghhh ..." I grunted as I held my head and closed my eyes, trying to balance my consciousness.
I shook my head quickly and opened my eyes before my gaze shifted to Emma who was kneeling next to , her hand clutching her chest in pain.
I approached and helped her to stand up. We step aside and hide behind a wooden sandwich board in a closed cafe.
"What happened?" I asked worriedly. She is fine just now, why is her condition suddenly turn bad?
"I don't know ... - hah-hah- my chest hurts so much." I can see her breathing getting heavier.
'Observation.'
[Observation skill succeeded.]

[Talent: Elf's Blessing (Lower MP usage to cast skills)]
[Relationship: Single]
[Profession: Demon Hunter, College Student.]
'Demonic Curse?' I can only guess this has sothing to do with the Demonic Aura that filled this place. 'I'd better get her out of here.' This demon has the sa Devil Space skill as , I'm sure this demon is not an ordinary demon and I can't possibly fight it without relying on my skill.
"We have to get out of here," I said, helping her walk.
We walked out of there, while Emma's eyes were on her compass that showed a high number.
"This is the sa as Mr Renart's demon compass," she said, panting.
My heart beats faster.
'Could this be the sa demon that killed Father?'
-BOOM! - BOOM! - GGraaahhhhh !!
"Co on," I said, speeding up our steps.
A few ters later the atmosphere around us turned normal. Emma took a quick breath while I let go of her, her hand holding on the wall next to her.
"Ask the demon hunter association to send reinforcent," I said, turning and running back towards the Devil Space.
"Damian! Where are you going?" she scread.
"I just want to check it for a while!" I replied while my feet continued to move.
"Please ... Be safe ..." she whispered.
-----
My feet continued to walk quickly, following the stench that pierced my nose.
-BOOM!
An explosion accompanied by a puff of smoke not far from . A strong wind swept around along with dust and smoke. But I managed to keep my footing as I protected my eyes with the back of my hand.
Seconds later two winged figures erged from the smoke and flew into the sky. Their eyes were staring at each other full of anger and their claws were ready to tear their enemies apart. I recognized one of them.
"Lilieth ..." I muttered unconsciously.
Different from usual, although Lilieth's beautiful face did not change but this ti a pair of horns on her head and a pair of bat wings on her back made her status as a demon even clearer. Behind her, there is a tail that has a triangular tip.
I cast my gaze on her opponent, a red Imp with bat wings on his back, his tail shaped like a scorpion's tail.
'Observation.'
[Observation skill succeeded.]
[Na: Vengeful Imp]
[Level 68]
[Race: Demon]
[HP: 526/3785]
[DP: 129/539]
[Skills: Venom Tail lv 4, Demonic Claw lv 3, Hell Fire lv 5]
[Emotion: Angry]
[Condition: Normal]
[Weakness: Neck]
[Talent: Invulnerable to magic attack, Cannibalism.]
My eyes widened in surprise.
'Level 68? How can I help Lilieth to deal with it ?! '
Lilieth glided through the air quickly toward the Imp and swung her claws, attacking the enemy's chest.
"Graaahhhh!" A scream of pain ca from the Imp's mouth and I could see his HP dropping drastically.
[HP: 156/3785]
When I was sure Lilieth would win, the dark miasma covered the Imp's body as the dark force flowed to his body. A devious smile adorned his ugly face. While Lilieth was breathing heavily, staring at the Imp with exasperation.
My eyes shifted under the Imp and realized the dark force was coming from the Shadow Imp and Chaos Imp hordes underneath him. So of them began to fall and turn to ashes. Soon the Vengeful Imp's HP and DP were full again.
[HP: 3785/3785]
[DP: 539/539]
'Now I understand why Lilieth has a hard ti to defeat him, he absorbs his fellown' s energy to regenerate,' I thought as I ran towards the horde. There is only one way to defeat him, I need to kill all of his friends so that he cannot regenerate anymore.
'Demonic Energy.'
[Demonic energy has been activated.]
Strange energy filled , my adrenaline was racing, my senses sharpened and strange black electricity flowing over my body.
[STR: 50 75]
[AGI: 50 75]
[Ti remaining: 4:56]
In an instant, my speed got faster and I arrived at the horde in no ti. My hand swung to the head of the closest imp.
'Demonic Claw.'
[Demonic Claw has been activated.]
My nails extended and turned into sharp claws, while hard black skin grew over my hands like strong gauntlets that protected it.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 375 HP. ]
The Imp's body turned to ashes. The others imdiately cast their gaze and jumped angrily at . Without wasting my ti, I attack them again, I don't want to waste my Demonic Energy skills. Besides that Lilieth already looked exhausted, the sooner I cleaned up this horde the better. My quick movents coupled with my multiplied damage, thanks to my two skills, made it easier for to defeat the Shadow Imp without having to aim their critical points, plus my demonic claw could give them the bleeding effect. Sotis even if they didn't die directly with my attacks, the bleeding effects take care of the rest.
I don't know how many Shadow Imps I have defeated, but as long as the announcent has not appeared it ans my battle is not over.
Two Chaos Imp jumped, pounced on with their claws. With a deft, I ducked down to avoid and slip between them. My feet swung to the back of his neck.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 377 HP. ]
The Chaos Imp turned to ash while the other turned around as he swung his claws at . I ducked down once again, rolled over past his claw to his back. After I returned to my feet, a kick was thrown at the back of his neck.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 373 HP. ]
Just when the Chaos Imp turned to ashes, a shadow imp ca from behind him with his mouth wide open. I raised my hand to protect myself and he bit in my arm which was covered in my demonic claw. Although I can see a strange liquid flowing from his teeth but there is no damage or pain that I feel from it. I waved my hand, threw the imp at his friends.
[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 127 HP. ]
[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 46 HP. ]
[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 34 HP. ]
[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 23 HP. ]
They raided like a group of hungry wolves while I continued to swing my claws and kick them, turning their bodies one by one into ashes.
'Ethan, above you!' Lilieth's voice suddenly rang in my head. I looked up and clearly saw a large black fireball fly towards .
"Shit!" I cursed as I moved my feet to run.
-BOOM!
A loud explosion occurred behind , throwing and rocks around it, I could feel the heat of his fire on my back even though the attack did not hit directly. Sparks from it burned the back of my t-shirt.
[You have taken 34 magical damage.]
[Demonic energy ti remaining 00:00]
[Demonic energy has been cancelled.]
A plu of smoke soared. I returned to my feet as I held the burning sensation on my back. A large crack with a black fla not far from . I don't know what will happen if I get hit directly, I'm not sure I can survive it even if I use my deflection skills. The screams of pain from the Shadow Imp and Chaos Imp that burning inside were clearly heard.
'He didn't even hesitate to kill his own friend.'
"Argggg!" The pain in my foot reminds that my battle is not over.
[You have taken 21 physical damage.]
[Warning! You have been poisoned.]
[Your speed will decrease by 20%.]
[Your HP will decrease by 1 point per minute.]
Throwing my gaze down, a dying Shadow Imp bit one of my legs. I kicked him with my other leg and his body turned to ashes.
[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 46 HP. ]
My gaze returned to the front, staring at all the chaos around as I held the pain. But despite the chaos, the other imps continued to attack without care.
'Dispel.'
[Dispel skill succeeded.]
[The poison effect has been neutralized.]
My feet went forward as I returned to using my demonic energy skills. My claws swung at them furiously, and so did they. One by one the imps turned into ashes while so of their attacks landed on .
"Arggg!" I groaned in pain when a Chaos Imp managed to scratch my back.
[You have taken 31 physical damage.]
[Warning! You have been poisoned.]
[Your speed will decrease by 30%.]
[Your HP will decrease by 2 points per minute.]
I endured the pain that pierced my back and turned. At the sa ti, he swung his claws again. I avoided him at the last mont and rolled over to behind him. I quickly stood up and threw my claws behind his neck.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 370 HP. ]
The Chaos Imp's body turned to ashes as another announcent appeared before .
[Your HP is under 50%.]
'Dispel.' 'Dark Healing.'
[Dispel skill succeeded.]
[The poison effect has been neutralized.]
[Dark Healing has been used.]
[Your HP has restored 100 points.]
Panting, I raised my claws to attack the remaining imps, but just as I rushed towards them suddenly a stream of dark force ca out of their bodies and flowed towards the Vengeful Imp that was flying above them. The Imp's bodies were turned to ashes, while I stopped my steps and looked up. Vengeful Imp grinned evilly, his hand pointing at ford a black fireball.
But before he could attack , Lilieth slid and attacked him with her claws. The imp withdrew to avoid her and they exchanged attacks in the mid-air. I noticed that Lilieth's breathing was getting heavier and decided to check her out.
'Observation.'
[Na: Lilieth]
[Level ??? ]
[Race: Demon-Royal Succubus]
[HP: ??? / ???]
[DP: ??? / ??? ]
[Skills: ???]
[Emotion: ??? ]
[Condition: ??? ]
[Weakness: ??? ]
[Talent: ??? ]
'I can't check anything.' But one thing for sure, from her condition I know she is almost within her limits and I must imdiately help her. But because the Imp is invulnerable to magic attacks, I won't be able to hurt him with my Hell Thunder skill. My demonic form imdiately crossed my head. Since Lilieth is a succubus, my demonic form shouldn't be similar to her.
'Demonic Form Activated.'
A dark aura covered my body as a strange hissing sound rang in my ears. But a second later I felt like I was electrocuted by a high voltage of electricity.
"Aggghh!" I grunted as I endured the burning and piercing sensation on my body. An announcent appeared before my eyes.
[Access ungranted!]
[Your Demonic Form Talent is Locked!]
'What the hell ?!' My brain tried to find a way because I needed this form to help Lilieth.
'How to unlock the Demonic Form?'
[Demonic forms can only be unlocked by the admin.]
"Tsk!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance. I don't know who the admin is, but according to my guess, it should be Lilieth, because she's the one who gave this system. The problem is she might not be able to open my access now because she is busy.
I looked up and watched their battle, but I refused just to be a spectator. A firehouse with a large water tank on top of it gives an idea. My feet imdiately moved there.
