It had been three days since they had a run-in with the demon spawns, since then, they were ordered told by the teachers to stay indoors as the teachers search for whatever demon was releasing spawns in the forest with some higher-grade students.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrES2SZaJeo
Zoe was among said students and Hunter was yet to see her since. He was tired of staying in the suite doing nothing but he couldn't do anything except oblige to the teacher's instructions.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ5mCLLwqw
While every other student finds something to keep them occupied, the trio decided to play some chess as they wait for the teachers to handle the situation.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmdY5Oxktn
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3An31PQE5
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdySN6BftlT
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg374u9DnmU
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmTbEE6hQI
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixmsOZSEo
Hunter picks a bottle of water and passes it to Sydney, "I was meaning to ask you," Martin stated, "why is there so much bottled water in your room?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBFWWggH7e
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaVegiK0Yq
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJoOgvur08
'Huh?'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84FpRkjaYl
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfYEomKIRJ
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53KqHfMjP5
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfLXov8uG9
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PIs2bT4q8
"Something's coming this way."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XpyKiwid5
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqhgN7RqP
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp8Qeyqdi2
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIGQPO7sfD
"A pure demon!" He exclaimed. Before they could react, a wave force hit the building, forcing it to destroy and crumble to the ground. Hunter quickly twists and catches the falling Sydney in his arms before carefully landing on his feet.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfNLwLPLig
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDTj61OzSk
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqXNEdZyfK
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo96U2NzRxK
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuoA4cMilP
"What?" Sydney queried
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETeUvCyJrj
"We're in its domain,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2QkCdv1UT
"Students!" A teacher called, he was the only teacher that stayed behind at the suite while the others went in search of the demon, the same demon that was now coming for them.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgDS6wSXvt
The teacher swings his hands trying to form a portal but nothing happens, "Magic negation ..." He whispered to himself, "All of you! Run the other way, I'll hold it off!"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Ort1I5HF
Hunter and the others began racing the other way but no matter how far they ran, the dark mist seem to stretch farther, "What now?" A student wondered.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkqpjSM87A
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8kwvc7rOm
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ585uV8AWg
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj9rhY5elO
"No," she shakes her head, "Whatever this is," she made a sweeping motion with her arm that encompassed their surrounding of dark mist, "It's stopping me from doing anything,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1f5riovY1
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIKItSTalD
"It's coming!" Hunter warned the others and as if on cue, the demon pops out from below the ground in front of them before floating in the air, cackling as it stood above the terrified students.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLH35op0Yw
The demon was large with black lines running across its entire body. It had a helmet-like head that didn't cover its teeth, horns for where the eyes are supposed to be, and two black lines that zigzag down its face. Its arms were entirely black while its fingers were white.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSNHSbV0oF
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0MKxEDmA4
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQrH8BgTn7
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcTLqnhDWR
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3JJi2hvLX
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt7YDqmh0q
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLFY1g8lC2
"That's j --" the demon sighs, "alright, pay attention, I'm going to teach you a new skill," He stated, "See the mist around you, how do you think they were formed?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDssoAckFrb
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUosUo0POX
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBTpsly3aV
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFWH0vsP4E
"You're looking at this wrongly," his demon sighed, "here's your first lesson: in every magic spell or whatever, there is always an energy to be harnessed from it,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7FFQFb66r
"Oh,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI7B1Y6GxJ
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeFcEjsbRZ
"Okay ..."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFWQPUNk9W
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4VDRAkyjs
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQavyzsyJ4
Hunter focused and focused until he began to feel the energy, it wasn't much but yet, it was stronger than anything he had ever felt before. His hands glow blue as energy forms around his fist and his eyes turn a deeper shade of green.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSXfMpBPm
The pure demon seems to notice the sudden burst in energy as it quickly turned its attention to Hunter, in shock at first but it quickly regains its composure and lowers down to the ground.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O3DQH9Kx4
Hunter rushes toward the pure demon and throws a right jab at it followed by a quick left. The pure demon avoids this by moving in opposite directions.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDTAYN2qDf
The pure demon countered with some strikes of its own, throwing a right cross which Hunter avoids by spinning and hitting it with his elbow.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheSMPkdFgp
The pure demon staggers backward and seeing an opening, Hunter quickly moves and attempts a roundhouse kick but the pure demon catches his leg and flings him away. As he flies backward, he sees the pure demon disappear and reappear in front of him, hitting him with an uppercut, and sending him crashing into the ground, causing it to crack.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS0Gnox7mD
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxSw9h4UPg
Hunter got up from the ground causing the pure demon to grit its teeth. It formed some dark energy blast and launches it continuously at its opponent, when the dust settles, Hunter emerged shirtless.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW94Le0x8GQ
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUwUFpJYAC
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41wGAi0jWM
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY64SWGiYBd
'Really? I didn't know that!'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYqZaQB4an
"You can't see me but I just rolled my eyes," his demon says, "What I mean is he is a very strong demon and the energy from the mist is much lower than the one he has,"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxTuAQIHnH
'What if I draw energy from him?'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1bvoUkpJK
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0PeKQwagk
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwV1IHsKN
"Give me control of your body."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8eivo1EmG
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG48RUKkV7
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTAgl2Qe18
'What's the catch?'
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iGWDM4f4Z
"None!" His demon exclaimed, "I happen to live inside of your body and I'm pretty sure it's in my best interest you remain alive. Also, it's really difficult finding someone to bond with, so ... Give. Me. Control." His demon stated
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg66BUaxCEH
"Fine."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU8WPFvjwZ
Hunter's pupil disappears momentarily and they return as his demon was now in control. He looked the same if not for the loose hair stretching down to the shoulders and with unique markings on his forehead, nose, cheeks, and torso.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUrnknaJLa
He also had two lines on both his wrists and upper arms, circles on both his shoulders with a dot in each, two-segmented curve lines on his chest, and two lines on his stomach.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjC2vG9XhN
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrcxDp1Aj4
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPNqKbwaT
The pure demon began launching a series of attacks at Demon Hunter, who easily avoids the attacks as he puts on the buttons of the shirt and roll up his sleeves.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZPS0u607M
Once Demon Hunter was finished with the sleeves, he looked up at the pure demon, "let us begin then," he smirked, as the words leaves his tongue, the dark mist disperses causing the now confused pure demon to freeze in its tracks.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WyOQgvNAG
Before the pure demon could figure out what was happening, Demon Hunter had already closed the short distance between them both before punching the pure demon in its left shoulder, it felt nothing but dark energy through its body before its black hand blows out of the body.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTCo0hNlbx
"This was boring," Demon Hunter stated before grabbing the pure demon's right wrist, the pure demon screams and screams as its skin ages and ages before falling to the ground.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WfPA3Bqpo
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4f6k8Ui9E
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MTw83N9Wo
***
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUkhCmW4XA
Hunter wipes his eyes as he opens them to find Lauren looking at him, next to her was another teacher, Mr. Daniel, the one who thought him how to cast a domain.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa1KyELhmi
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06v6DiJdlf
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6FGXjE3hr
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6fwlhGwiP
He looked around the room, he was surrounded by an old concrete wall with dots of crystal like stones poking out of the cracks. On one side of the room was a sink with a mirror above it and next to his bed was a toilet.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIklwymHLqh
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O2pbnPT7r
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhRUuORIf8
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sdy1CSFSu
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
