"Wait, hold on." I said raising my hands, slightly alarmed. "You do realise Asher can probably kill me fairly easily, right?" I was sure I couldn't match the bold sorcerer's strength yet. Maybe if I hadn't lost all of my souls. But now? No way.
"I don't think so. Besides, he'll be there as my support." Lucius grinned. "Since trying to fight back against demonic magic harms him so much, he has to stay back when we're fighting demons anyways. He could use his magic to help me out like Rina did with Alex."
It wasn't a bad plan. In fact, he had a really good point, and I couldn't think of a reason as to why it wouldn't work.
"Fine," I said, smiling. "Go get Asher then. I'll be in the opening by the hideout."
Lucius darted off as soon as I finished my words. I, on the other hand, was much slower. I headed to the opening and glanced at the sky. Not a single cloud could be seen. The bright sun hurt my eyes, so I retreated into the shadows of the trees.
