CHAPTER XXI: Demons AttackCaya is almost 100 meters away from me. I don't want to fall behind. I was constraining myself to use magic because Archmaster might find about my secret. Though he was not around. We were the only people here. I knew it. I will use my celestial weapon. My Feather of Metamorphosis also turned black when my grace mixed up with Mammon’s curse, however, its ability did not change. It can still change its appearance base on my imagination. Though, I can still optimize its color depending on what I want. “All right, thank you. I will go first,” I told them and then sped up.“Good luck! I hope you lose,” Raid shouted at me and then he laughed.I rolled my eyes. He’s teasing me again. “Get ready for me later!” I sneered at him, and then turned my gaze back to the track.I already called my celestial weapon. I was about to change its appearance but I stopped when I was pr

CHAPTER XXIII: The Daughter’s Sadness We pushed each other as we put a strong force on our swords. We were being dragged into different directions while suspended in the air. Who would have thought that the demon I tortured last time can stand a chance against me, right now? Did she become stronger for the past month or was she just concealing her true strength the last time we fought each other? Or did I just underestimate last time we encountered each other? If I don’t want to lose, I should take her seriously. I put a force on my legs and quickly flew towards her. I drove my sword to her, preparing to stab her chest with it; aiming for the umbra stone in between her breasts. But she swiftly disappeared the moment the tip of my sword almost reach her. Then, I was taken aback when I heard her laughing at my back. How did she do that? I step on the air and maneuvered my body to face her. She’s not teleporting from one place to another. She simply controlling the spac

CHAPTER XXV: NegotiationI was standing in front of majestic wooden double doors, collecting all the courage within me. I stepped my feet forward and knocked at the door three times. I've heard voices talking inside the room. They were from Archmaster Leonard and Archmistress Demia.After a while, someone opened the door. It was Archmaster Leonard. “Come in, young lady,” he pleasingly uttered with a small curve in his lips.I smiled at him shortly after slightly bowing my head. “Thank you, Archmaster,” I told with a pleasing expression in my face. I heaved a silent sigh before stepping inside.As I walked through the doorway, the first thing I noticed was Archmistress Demia having a tea on the sofa. She looked calm as she turned her gaze at me. Afterwards, she returned her attention to her cup of tea as if she didn’t see me.“Please, have a seat,” Archmaster offered and then led me to the sofa. I sat in fro

CHAPTER XXVII: DestructionI closed my eyes firmly when my heart pulsated a strong burning sensation in my chest coming from my wound in my stomach. I panted and began to breathe heavily. This was the first I felt this kind of pain.“Deb— ack! H-help me,” I hardly uttered as the stinging pain crawled into my throat. Then suddenly, I coughed blood. My teary eyes began to blur again as Mammon collapsed in my mind. He already lost his consciousness. Deborah turned her back against me, preparing to take her leave. She started to walk but I cried again and pleaded her not to leave me here, hoping it would reach her. My eyes were only half-open right now. I tried my best not to faint here. I can hear people shouting from everywhere, crying out of misery and sorrows. I don’t know what exactly was happening but I am certain that the nine higher-ranking devils are causing havoc in the academy right now.“D*mn it! Drink this so y

CHAPTER XXIX: StruggleWe all charged together to the tower, using our mighty weapons to cut and slash every vine coming to our direction. However, no matter how much we try to destroy all of these burning vines, they just keep on regenerating.“Celestial Magic: Crazy Bullets!” Nicanor insanely uttered while riding on his celestial spirit, Scorpio. Then, he used his shotgun, Doomsday, to release rapid-fire bullets to the tower. His attacks reached the target and explosion came after one another.The rest of us nodded, thinking about one thing. That tower is the source of those vines. If we want to obliterate all the vines, we need to take down their source first.“Celestial Magic: Piercing Arrows!” Caya fired ten arrows in a row with her Bow of Chastity.“Liquid Magic: Kraken’s Tentacles,” Almirah casted. Long, flexible blue octopus’s arms made of water emerged from her back and they violently struck
