She answered, "Cyra" it wasn't that she hated the name Ember, it was just that she didn't feel belonging to the Dragon Clan, she felt emptiness when ever she was thinking about this family, as for the other reason it was better to hide she came from the outside, as there is no point telling them she found an entrance to this place, a hellish one but still an entrance, the information might be useful in the future.
Fan coughed a few times than said, - "Ah so it's Lady Cyra, may I ask where does your excellency is going to?" He truly tried looking as humble as possible when speaking to her, his life depended on his attitude, Fan wasn't sure about Cyra origins but he was Crystal clear about one thing, if she wanted him to die he will die without a doubt, the rest of the group was showing a similar reaction not daring looking at Cyra at all, they didn't wanted to offend someone who was stronger than them.
Fan was rather talkative individual, even without asking anything Cyra learned a lot about the situation inside the Outer Sanctum, there were 3 Empires inside the Asun Empire ruled by demons and demonic creatures, The Ely Empire ruled by the Guardians and the Emin Empire ruled by humans.
Fan even told her how his race became the Ely Empire as their name suggests they were originally guarding the Holy Land from the demons, in the Holy war they fought alongside with the humans against the demons, but when they realized that humans are just as bad they decided to independently creat their own empire.
Cyra wasn't in a hurry anymore and was simply following Fan phase during their travels, soon they could see a city in the distance, there was a giant white pillar emerging from the middle of the city it caused great energy fluctuations so even without seeing it was impossible to miss it
"What's that?" Asked Cyra as she pointed towards the pillar of light.
"The Holy Gate, it connects all the main cities together to make travel easier, be it the Asun,Ely or Emin Empire thanks to the Gates traveling between them is incredibly easy, all you have to do is think where you want to go." Explained Fan.
"Let's go to the demons Capital or wait on second thought let's visit the Emis Capital first!" Said Cyra with a rather unexpected smile on her face, yes she was smiling since now she had a chance to pay back than damn old man for the suffering that she had to live through.
"This way please" Signaled Fan and led the way for Cyra, he still didn't dare to ask what does a demon want to do in the human Capital, he was sure that it wouldn't end up good but he was way to scared to live Cyra side.
The group of 20 and Cyra gradually proceeded towards the gate, as the group crossed the get they decided that now was the time to escape together with Fan they appeared in one of the Ely Empire City, they were glad that Fan didn't talked about their home for The demon as for Cyra she arrived in the Human Capital City of Tou without any problems, her clothes were a bit unusual but it didn't bother anyone there were countless hunters among the humans, it was a well paying job so yes from time to time hunters did visit Tou.
Cyra was wearing the bear head as a hood, her first goal was simply listening to find a rich place with countless items, she was in great need for storage rings and other treasures, by the surrounding chatter she learned that there was an Imperial Auction House in the city center, it was rumored to be one of the crown princesses property used to gain supporters.
Cyra directly went to the Auction House, there was not many people inside, as she entered one of the guards stopped her and asked, - "Buying or Selling?" Seeing that the person was wearing a bear as clothing, the guard was sure about the person job, but even thought he knew it was a rule to better ask before doing anything.
"Selling" Said Cyra, she was surprised that the guard was able to see her but after looking around at the entrance she found a formation, it should be a motion or life detection one, since those things doesn't get effected by her Halo.
Meanwhile in the top floor of the auction house, a servant walked inside boss room and said, - "Your highness, a hunter has arrived to the auction house but none of the experts capable of seeing the person strength, there is a chance that he is a wild hunter!"
The crown princess instantly stood up the moment she heard her servant call the man wild hunter, wild hunters were the best of the best they also had monstrous strength and inhuman reflexes, they were at the top of the food chain be it the Forest or the city, additionally they rarely joined any forces so offending them would be a grave mistake since they can cause a lot of damage without losing anything.
The princess hurriedly left her room and headed towards the guest room that was used for welcoming important guests, as she entered the room she slightly bowed and greeted the person, - "Welcome Mister to my imperial auction house, my name is Elizabeth Angus I will be doing the business with great sir. May I ask your name?"
She just said, "Cyra" she was than continued to quietly sit there without saying another word, she was still observing the surroundings looking for anyone that could hurt her, after making sure there was none she turned her attention towards the princess who just came in, she found her attitude a bit weird but it was also alright so she didn't fuss about it but than she..
But the voice, it wasn't a mans voice this was clearly a woman, horror could be seen on the crown princess face did she just called a female hunter a man, she instantly kneeled on the ground and started begging for forgiveness, "I.. I didn't mean it miss please forgive me for my mistake!" even the demons didn't dare offend wild hunters, than what about her she was only a weak princess of a weak empire, she was clear about the situation that humans of the Empire had to face unlike her brothers and sisters but for that very own reason she couldn't get much support because most of the nobility had business relations with demons, she hated demons to the bone, they were gross creatures who have given up their humanity for power and succumbed for the Evil god, Axis.
Oh yes I forgot about this gender thing well what ever, it looks like I can ask for anything she wouldn't dare to reject me, after thinking to this point Cyra said, - "For compensation give me a storage ring with inscription pen and paper, since it was just minor offense I don't ask much" said Cyra while she was smiling.
On the other hand the crown princess expression wasn't that good, what were storage rings, they were Holy treasures of the empire there were hardly even any in the 3 kingdoms, she did have one but it was owned by the empire it was filled with the auction house treasures, she was facing a dilemma to either have a fraud with a wild hunter or lose her chance to become the queen, as she was constantly staring at her finger, Cyra also realized that there was finally a storage ring within her reach so she instantly grabbed the princess arm, to be as quiet as possible she simply used corruption to rip out her soul, after the princess fallen to the ground she took her storage ring and examined it's interior with great interest, she found inscription pens and paper, Demon cursed armors they had similar effects to her previous armor but it gave a crimson glow to her Essence after putting on, than there was also an incredibly powerful protection necklace that she also put on, than there were some Essence Crystals and blood a lot of blood.
System what is This blood?
[The orange blood is demonic beast blood around 6000 liter, as for the yellow it's demon blood 20 000 liter and for some reason there is an unknown blood type that should be guardian blood or something similar liquid 100 000 liter, there are also countless pills, this place should have countless alchemy masters]
Now that I think about I should learn alchemy, maybe it can be useful in the future.. even if I don't believe using drugs I'm still to slow I need to get stronger... also getting some pills with strong painkiller effects doesn't sound that bad either Cyra thinking stopping there because for some reason notifications started to popp out without any reason.
[Axis is watching Host]
What the...? Really? Why? Should I freak out the little guy by watching back... though Cyra as an evil grin appeared on her beautiful face than her consciousness entered her main body than Cyrus released his Essence surrounding everything than penetrated to the shadow realm, than penetrate to the sealed holy land.
[Cyrus is watching Axis]
At this moment inside the inner sanctum ceremony hall, a chained beast was trembling nonstop , while thinking who is that girl, how is she related to that thing I.. I must show good Will or that thing could kill me with a thought, pls I begging you stop staring at me scream Axis while it succumbed into a ball and started crying..
Eh well what eve... [Cyrus stopped watching Axis]
[Axis is thankful for Host Help]
[Axis also pleased by your offering]
Eh? Such a fragile little guy is an evil god, this is so stupid also what offering? Oh wait never mind I get it, since he is the closest evil god the souls I corrupt will benefit him, well good to know..
[Congratulations Host for gaining information about a new Evolution for Cyra Corruptor]
[Congratulations Host for gaining information about a new Mutation for Cyrus Shadow]
[Congratulations Host for gaining New Title: Goddess of Corruption]
[The Title: Goddess of Corruption gives complete control over demons turned by host]
Now wait, what is up with the last one? I can creat demons? How or why?
[The restriction that is placed on the Holy land should be the cause, this Title is worthless outside the Holy land]
Wait if that's the case.. shouldn't she be.. as Cyra turned her attention towards the princess once more she didn't saw her body on the ground anymore instead she was kneeling before her soundlessly.
The princess had visible changes in her appearance, she looked much more mature also when ever she looked at Cyra the mark of C lit up inside her eyes signaling that she was corrupted by Cyra, there was also a tattoo of a dragon like creature on her back, this was Cyrus, when demons had enough Essence they could directly summon out a copy of the creature carved on their back to fight for them, this was the factor that made the countless demon clans different, the creatures that their corrupter given them.
Cyra by accident given her the strongest possible beast, unlike the creatures of this plane who became stronger by evolving according to the planet hardships Cyrus home planet is a millióan Tímea Superior to anything so his copy will also easily surpass everyone else.
"So what do you feel? This is my first time creating a demon so I'm curious..." Said Cyra as she was looking at her, yes looking she already opened her eyes, what ever came to the princess mind, even if she wanted to answer she couldn't, it was a feeling that death it self was glaring into her soul, she wanted to run, run as far as she could from this thing, what she felt is regret coming her personally she couldn't even describe how scared she felt, she just motionlessly stared at the floor waiting for the nightmare to end.
