Zariah: (took a step backwards, dodging his stretched arm)
Demon 1: Don't... (Suddenly stopped in his words when he felt a warm sensation in his stretched arm)
Then the unexpected happened, his hand that reached out to Zariah dropped to the ground. Blood oozed out of the open wound.
Demon 2&3: What the... (Exclaimed when a hand suddenly dropped to ground)
Demon 1: Arghhhhhh (screamed in pain)
Demon 2: Quit it. Why are you yelling like a farm ass? (Annoyed turning him over with force to face him) Y...y...your arm (stuttered in great fear)
Demon 3: You devil ...(Walked up to her angrily) It's just a female wi...
WOOSH... WOOSH... WOOSH...
Flashing arcs appeared and disappeared at the speed of light in rhythm with Zariah's movement... She returned back to her original position in a few seconds like nothing had just happened...
PUFFFFF ... The third demon was cut short in his words and the next moment, blood sprayed everywhere and his body fell to the ground heavily in different unmentionable pieces.
Demon 1: Spear me...spear me. Please don't kill me.
Demon 2: Lady devil .. please don't kill me... I swear on my life not to tell anyone about this. (Pleaded)
Zariah: (paused in her tracks staring at the mighty demons that were now on their knees wailing and begging)
Demon 1: Yes...yes (nodded furiously in agreement) We swear not to tell anyone.
Zariah: Le..ave (slowly said with authority)
Demons: Yes lady devil (scrambled on their feet to get up and run)
Demon 2: (turned around and ran then suddenly fell to the ground paralyzed and dear)
Demon 1: Ahhhhh! (Screamed upon seeing his pal fall to the ground lifeless. He held upon his bleeding arm in pain and fear in his eyes)
He tried to run but his body betrayed him. He could feel every of his nerves numb... Early before the death of the third demon. The moment Zariah was cornered on the alley way their entry route was blocked with an invisible force field, covering behind the demon and behind Zariah.
...Back in the streets...
Athena: Alert! System detects an unknown mana flow origin...
Kasper: (stopped in his tracks) A negative one? How intense is it?
Athena: Not very intense but similar to the same mana detected after your fight with the advance demon eater. The mana flow is low but exceptional, more like someone is dealing with a group weaker than he is. (Explained)
Kasper: Can you find the source?
Athena: Yes... It's coming from the direction you were coming from.
Kasper: Shoot... That's the way to the palace. (Turned around swiftly and sprinted towards the direction)
Athena: Host is 500 meters away from the origin source.
... Zariah stared coldly into the first demon's eyes. His pupils slowly dilated then began to lose its color before rolling upwards like that of a ghost. His left hand slowly went up and suddenly held his neck so tight like he was being controlled...
Demon 1: Pl...ea..se. I'm s...or.. ry. (Apologized sincerely) Ur ...gh (his grip around his neck tightened and his face turned pale slowly began to lose its color)
Zariah stared at him a little longer before dropping the demon dropped the ground also lifeless. She turned around and left the scene expressionlessly deeper into the alley way.
Athena: Host is 30 meters away from the source. 25...20...15...10...2... Host has arrived at the mana source.
Kasper: (stopped in deftly in front of the alley way and cautiously walked through it) Whe... (Paused when he saw three lifeless bodies on the ground)
One in bits, one all stiff and paralyzed and the last pale with a missing hand like he died of suffocation.
Kasper: The killer has left. (Turned his head towards the alley wat entry) The alley way entry is just few meters from here. There might have been screams but still there's no commotion here... (Analysed)
Athena: If the killers were in group it's understandable but if the killer were to be single person he probably used little amount of his energy to shut them off. From the quick scan here, judging from their physique and muscle building, a fifty of the normal you from earth cannot defeat a single one of them.
Kasper: Are they that strong?
Athena: No... They aren't humans with little physiques that's just the point. But with your stats now, hundreds of them are mere child play. Will you report this incident to the demon queen?
Kasper: (ruffled his hair slightly annoyed) Yeah I guess I have to. I haven't met her after I woke up and taking a stroll with the injuries they probably think I still have will bring about some nags and scoldings.
