"Go go go." It been a month since they had returned to the Asir Kingdom and for the most part their journey had been peaceful that was until now "Sue how are you looking on arrows?" "Running low! Where are these things coming from anyway, and why are they as fast as the wagon?" They we're currently being persuade by a large pack of Dire Wolfs, but something was off about them. They were much larger then normal and they were faster to boot. "Ella we need projectile magic." "Got it." Akira had a feeling they were after something more then just some wild beasts as they wouldn't have been chasing after them when Akira was unleashing as much power as he was. They had to be lead by someone other wise this would have ended already. "Mia, Fay how are you two doing?" "I'm fine Akie." "WERE GOING TO DIE! WHY ARE ALL OF YOU ACTING SO CALM?" "This isn't the first life or death situation. We've been in far worse things then this." Fay's eyes widened "WAIT SO THE DAYS OF PEACE WE'VE HAD WERE...." "The longest amount of peace since hell me and Morgan started traveling together." "WHAT KIND OF UNLUCKY PARTY DID I JOIN?" "The kind that run into Demon Kings more then they'd like." Fay had no words she just stared at Akira. As he kept laying out arrows he would periodically notch a magic arrow and fire it. Due to his magic they were more powerful then your normal magic arrow he often found the fact that in the state he was annoying as he never like the feeling it had on his soul "agh!" He grabbed at his chest "Shit not now!" Sue looked at him with concern "Are you ok?" Akira hadn't expected pain from it usually it would burn like someone having heart burn, but this time it hurt like someone was poking with hot poker straight into his lungs. "Ya I'm fine just keep firing!" Sue nodded and continued to fire then all of a sudden Emily yelled "Hang on!" They had no time to react before they were all thrown in the wagon Akira land on the floor hard and before he opened his eyes he had something smack him in the face when he open his eyes he could see black, but it wasn't darkness it was the color black when he started moving his mouth all of a sudden he heard a moan and a giggle in reply "Oh Sojiro I don't think it's the time for stuff like that." 'Oh come on how did this happen?' She eventually got up with him following suit Fay and Sue were glaring at him with Sue's hand pressing down on the bottom of her dress. "Oh come on it was an accident out of my control!" They just kept glaring, he sighed and returned to firing arrows. Morgan called for them "Uh guys there's someone in front of us!" Akira peered out to see someone with a cloak and bow they aimed towards the wagon then fired at the ground in front of them the arrow exploded on impact "Stop!" Emily pulled on the reigns hard and they slid to a halt. They were a few feet from their attacker the person lowered their hood. She was a woman looked to be in her late thirties she was built differently from Sue her arms and legs were more muscular then hers and her outfit was much different with it being a tonic covered by leather armor. She had long paints on and had short black hair "Finally I found you!" Her smile was of glee and satisfaction. Akira tilted his head "Have we meet before?" She looked at him stunned and replied "Yes we have meet before!" Akira was still puzzled "When?" She started to look angry "I was there at the cave when the heroes went to face Fafnir!" Akira thought back to that day "Sorry can't say I remember you." She started getting physically angry "How can you not remember me you killed the lady I followed." Again Akira thought back to it and Azazel spoke up "Oh ya it was a what's her face Bitch Girl with the knives." "You mean Haru?" Azazel snapped his fingers "Bingo." As Akira finished his talk with Azazel the girl kept monologuing until He interrupted "So your one of Haru's former party members." "Yes I'am and now that I've found you, it's time to avenge lady Haru!" She drew back her bow and fired another arrow. Akira could feel the power flying off of it and in the spit second he had yelled "HEAVENLY BARRIER!" A second before the arrow hit almost breaking the barrier. "Ok wasn't expecting that? So you blocked that, but I still have more arrows!" She notched a second one, but before she could fire the world around her stopped she stood unable to move with Akira walking right up to her. She stared at Akira he looked at her with a psychotic smile. Her heart sank as she saw one of his eyes had changed. His left eye was white with a storm grey pupil, but his right was black with a red pupil. "The kid took that like a champ while he won't admit it that was to powerful for him to handle so I need to ask." She stood there unable to move being talked to by Azazel the demon king that killed her lady Haru and now she was terrified as his face turned from a psychotic smile to rage filled glare "Where did you get the power of a Demon king?"
Emily and Morgan stared at the seen in front of them one minute Akira had been behind putting up a barrier. The next he was standing above a mutilated corpse he was covering his right eye but they couldn't figure out what had happened. He started walking back over to them "Hey did something happen Kira?" He didn't look at them he just went to the back. Morgan looked in the back and for the next few minutes Akira was still covering his right eye. For him it was a different he was looking out through bars of a cage the area was dark besides the light from the center in front of him stood Azazel out of the cage and acting erratic "What the hell is that gluttonous idiot planning?" Akira sat there puzzled "What are you going on about?" Azazel looked at him with worry in his eyes "What I'm going on about is how completely Irritating it was to deal with her especially since it seems she was in league with a demon king." "Why would one of them do that?" Azazel looked at him "How much do you know about the demon kings?" "All I know are your names and that you guys tried to fight god and the first hero." Azazel grinned " Well kid I think it's time you learned more about us."
In the forest someone watches as the wagon headed down the road he was leaning against a tree arms crossed they didn't move as they watched them move on. The figured sighed "So even with that power she was still weak. So it only works if the contract holder and Demon king are one person. That's good to know." The figured smiled "Enjoy your freedom while you can Azazel. Because soon it will be gone!"
