Mara spit blood when she got punched on the stomach. It was tough fighting a demon when he can clearly overpower a grim reaper like her.Ever since Gideon grinned and let out his aura, not a single a attack from Mara has touched him. And even if it Mara does land a hit, the consequences she receives is far more stronger than the blow she has landed.Gideon started summoning his sword. It is a little smaller than Mara's scythe but in the eyes of their audiences, it is huge enough to reach and cut the ancient tree behind Mara.Not one of the townspeople are still standing as Mara, Lara and Damien has already took care of more than a half of their population and the others took care of the remaining demonoids standing.In this battlefield, the battle is three on one.Mara and Shane are the last ones standing and Azrael just arrived with another dozen of grim reapers to take care of the aftermath if there is.Mara's scythe and Gideon's sword clashed in the air. They're exchanging blows so
Mara woke up in an unfamiliar place again. Everything looks old and the first thing she even uttered was the question, "Where am I?"It's as if fate is playing with her as she has woken up in different places these oast few days and they're turning out to be dreams. Just how weird is that?She was brought on a cave full of gems. The water is glowing as it completely reflects the full moon shining directly above the hole.Mara walked in deeper and as she approach the end of the cave, endangered plants lined up towards the exit.Mara ran to get out of the cave and go back to the battlefield as she thinks she hasn't seen enough of it.She was almost at the end when she tripped on an amethyst. She hissed in pain and lifted her gaze when she heard someone talking not so far from her.She followed the trails of amethyst until she found a garden of gems and middlemist red camellia. It was so beautiful that the lady was awestruck and has forgotten why he went there. The gentle scent aroused h
Mara's body kept on trembling as she watches her mother and the young her fall from the building.Confusions has finally ended in her mind. A lot of questions has just got its unwanted answers and Mara coudl not accept it. She could not even comprehend it.She is the daughter of Satan and the treacherous grim reaper known as Adelaide.That must be the reason why she sometimes feel that she doesn't belong to the Eternal. That must be the reason why she somehow feel different. That must be the reason why she felt she doesn't know herself. That must be the reason why somehow, she feel even more powerful than the special humans turned into grim reapers.Then Azrael must have know about it even before he took Mara as a kid, right?Mara stared at her younger self. Adelaide's body slowly turned into ashes as a punishment. While her little girl just went unconscious due to fear of death when they jumped off the building.Mara was able to touch her younger version. After all, she was never a h
Shane turned his scythe into a gigantic whip to keep the high ranked demons away from them as they were surrounded.Shane can feel his body getting heavier and heavier as time passes by. Two of their comrades has already fallen into their demise.Azrael left them for a while to go to the heavens and ask for back up as it has been an hour since he requested through mind link but help did not even come yet."Can you still hold on, newbie?" Lara asked while shooting her opponents poisonous arrows.Lara woke up an hour after the gates of hell welcomed the demons to the land of the living. She can't even call this battle a warm up as it is too hard core to be called that way."My stamina is running low," Shane answered truthfully."Just hang on a little longer, Shane. Help is coming our way," Damien said who wake up ten minutes after Lara.Another horde of high ranked demon attacked them. The three recieved tons of wounds and bruise, however, they chose to not give up and hold on to the th
"Fight me, Princess," Sloth said in a mocking tone through telepathy.Mara could feel the irritation filling her inside. But no, she won't act on impulse or just because she was provoked. Mara is not confident enough that she can take the demon on one versus one. Mara feels tired and helpless at the moment.Despite that, she forced her body to stop trembling. She heaved a deep breath and stood proudly like a royalty. She held her chin up and shook her head firmly."No," She voiced out while staring directly at Sloth.Sloth shrugged his shoulders and yawned. He turned his back and stretched his muscles before walking away. He looked up and then looked back at Mara. An evil smirk crept on his lips.Mara readied herself and covered her whole body with anti-demon barrier. So when Sloth disappeared and joined the clash, Mara ran towards the gigantic gates."What on Earth are you planning to do?" Damien yelled in frustration and then pulled his hair.Shane and Damien was about to run after
"THE CONDITION has been met. The Princess has been found," A teenage boy suddenly appeared. He came from Shane's dagger.He has small horns and a diamond tattoo on his forehead. He has a pair of bat wings and a tail. They'll actually mistake him for a human if it weren't for his demonic features. His smile was genuine but both men couldn't help but raise their guards.He bowed his head as a salute. "It was nice working with you, Shane."He flapped his wings and then dove into the gates of hell. Depite having a barrier, he was still able to get inside. Maybe it was because the barrier was made only for the demons inside to prevent them from stepping in to this world.Shane returned his attention to Mara. He still could not follow their movements despite noticing that they've gone slower than earlier. Each time they take a pause to breath, his eyes are always fixed on Mara."How old is she again?" Shane blurted the question out of nowhere which made Azrael laugh to tease his newest recr
The sun is already up but Azrael and Shane remained standing to where the gate has disappeared. The magic circles drawn on the ground has been erased and left without a trace as if it was never really there.The last image of Mara remained in Shane's mind as tears kept on streaming down his face. He was not even blinking as if he can still see Mara standing in front of them and smiling or rolling her eyes with her scythe on her shoulder.Azrael saluted at the empty land. He sighed and turned his back. He gave Shane a gentle pat on the shoulder before walking away.Shane did not even move an inch or nodded as if he was left frozen in time.Finally, he lifted his head and gazed in the sky.She said she'll come back, then he will wait even at the end of the world.He was only few steps away from his friends when both opened their eyes. Lara held the back of her head since she's still feeling dizzy. Damien slowly stood up as he surrounds his gaze around the bloody battlefield.His eyes in
The crowd kept on growing outside the magical woods in the Netherworld. The citizens are afraid to approach or touch the four wounded bodies, especially that they knew three of the unconscious bodies on the ground.The loud shriek of a phoenix filled their ears. They took few steps back when the phoenix approached the area.A guy jumped off the phoenix and carefully carried his masters' body to the back of the phoenix as the gentle warmth of the phoenix's feathers helps to heal the injured."Careful, Sir Dan," A concerned citizen said the moment she saw how big Lust's wound was.Dan smiled and nodded.They thought Dan is going to leave the unfamiliar girl to be the feed of the dire wolves when the night time comes but to their horror, Dan gently carried the lady with the same care as the other three."Where are you bringing the girl, Sir Dan? She's clearly not one of us. We don't even know her. She might be a spy or an assassin tasked to annihilate our kind!""Why don't you just leave
