Baldric knew that the killers are faster than him. Suddenly a georgeous woman with a bra, a skirt and a magical glass orb came check on him :
" Better late than never my lord ! "
" What do you mean Esperanza ? "
" Don't you worry my dear lord ! I left them a big suprise in Zarrac . "
The squad is flying on Lissandra's back.
" Mister Tade ! "
" Yes Terric ? "
" The guy with pink hair said something about Aether ability. What's that ? "
" Aether is the purest form of power and the essence which the gods breath instead of air, only them can manipulate it at their own free will. However there are some exceptions who are gifted by the gods and can use Aether, yet the use was limited into one ability. "
" Sorry to interrupt you sir but big brother for example can use fire, is that Aether ? "
" Marbas can't use Aether because he has no mana, I think it's his Auroeal's Aether. "
Marbas interfered :
" But Auroeals can't work with a master unless he has a lot of mana ? "
" That's not true, demons and other outer dimension creatures need a strong body because they are linked to it. For example demons cannot let their vessels to die, that causes them to die as well. However Auroeals work in another way, they are not linked to the owner which means your death doesn't mean the death of your Auroeal. "
Terric asked Tade :
" What is your Aether ability mister ? "
" My Aether ability is called < Zero > it can negate only one action done by the enemy and reverse it into zero : it's original starter point. "
Terric and Emma never understood a thing and they gave him a dumb face.
" In a basic way, let's take a fight between me and Marbas for example, Marbas will use his Solar flare and launch a burning flame that can be deadly, I can activate my ability zero, for Marbas's point of view, he will think that he never launched the attack or that I evaded it but the truth is I reversed his attack into zero. Do you understand now ? "
" That's a cool ability mister ! "
" Not that much. I'm limited to only one action which sucks ! "
Marbas asked him :
" Do you remember how did you get this ability ? "
" I was born with it ! "
Terric excitedly smiled :
" Can you check if someone has an Aether ability ? "
" I'm afraid that I can't."
Terric sighed.
" But I can check whether you have mana or not. "
" Yes please check me sir ! What's my superpower's gonna be ? Humm, freezing people, to fly. "
Tade put his hand on Terric's chest :
" Yes, you have mana ! "
Terric was so happy :
" Can you check lady Aerith too ? "
Tade put his hand on Aerith's chest and cautioned :
" You ! "
" Yes ? "
" You have a massive amount of mana ! "
Marbas interfered :
" She's a hydra and a chosen* "
" Interesting ! That explains a lot ! "
Terric trembled : " Why am I feeling shivers, this place is scary ! "
Tade rejoiced : " Fellas ! We just reached our destination ! "
The majestic shifter landed in front of several guards.
" ATTACK THE INTRUEDERS ! "
Marbas looked at Emma and Terric, it's like they understood him. Their mission is to infiltrate the prison and save Amanda while Marbas is creating a mess in the main door.
" THE GIRL AND THE BOY ARE RUNNING ! "
☆ Solar Flare : appear ! ☆
A flaming phoenix appeared, it's majestic shape stroke terror in the guards hearts.
" Any commands my lord ? "
" Create the biggest mess ever ! I want your flames to be seen from all the neighbor towns ! "
" Understood my lord ! "
Solar flare flew to the sky with massive speed and transformed into a giant flame meteor.
☆ Solar Flare : Armageddon ! ☆
The phoenix fell into Zarrac which caused a lot of towers to be destroyed ! Everything was on fire, it was chaos. Tade on the other hand was sword fighting with several guard, he beat them all, his moves were quick and precise. Marbas was impressed.
°° He is so good ! °°
Inside of Zarrac, Emma and Terric are sneaking into the commander's room, they found two guards at the door.
" Stay here Terric "
Emma then like a shadow slained the first guard and threw a knife that stroke the second guard's brain. She then transformed her facial expressions into the guard's face. She took his helmet and armor and wore them.
" No! who are you ? Where is Emma ? "
Terric took the second guard's sword to protect himself.
" It's me silly ! I'm Emma ! "
" Lady Aerith ? But how ? "
" Shhh ! Did you ever watched a show ? "
" I think I watched one with my mom but it was long ago ! "
" What do they do ? "
" They mimic and pretend to be someone else. "
" Exactly ! It's called acting and that's the game we'll play ! "
" But who will we pretend to be ? "
" I'll pretend I'm that guard and that I caught you. "
" Brillant idea Lady Aerith ! You're really smart ! "
Emma blushed :
" Please stop ! You're making me blush ! "
She then took Terric's arm by force and entered the commander's room. They saw a cruel man surrounded by seven guards and Amanda behind him chained and naked. Terric raged but Emma pressed his hand and tried to calm him down.
" Sir Varus, who is that boy you caught ! "
°°This guy can't be the Baldric, so he is the vice commander. Baldric is still on his way from Silveia forest. °°
" Vice commander ! This is the girl's little brother, he was trying to sneak in here ! "
" Great job ! Bladric would be proud ! Now we should find a way to hide or escape before that mad man catches us ! "
" I found a way to an underground tunnel on my patrol ! This way sir ! "
" You three stay here and guard the girl and the boy ! "
The six men followed Emma, they reached a door. The vice commander opened the door it was a dead end and when he turned around he found all of the guards killed. A knife was against his throat.
" Give me the keys or I will torture you to death ! "
" Here are the keys. Just please don't kill me I have a family ! "
Emma sliced his throat without a mercy and in cold blood.
" I have a family to protect too and you guys just hurt it ! "
She had a scary glance. Killing was everything she knew.
Emma then entered the commander's room once again !
" Sir Varus ! What happened ? Where is the vice commander ? "
" They are here ! They killed all of them ! "
The three guards rushed off to the room's door when in a sudden instant they all got murdered ! "
Emma gave the keys to Terric :
" Hurry up go save your sister ! "
Amanda was fainted. Emma gave her the clothes she was wearing and before they'll both escape they heared an old woman's voice from behind the bars.
" Please young ones ! Save me ! "
They followed the voice and it was indeed an old woman with multiple torture marks.
" Let's go Terric ! Our mission does not involve others to save ! "
" But she is an old woman ! "
" No ! "
" Please young lady ! I can't endure the torture anymore ! "
" Please lady Aerith ! "
Emma remained silent for a moment :
" Okey ! Just this time ! "
They opened the bars for the old woman.
" Thank you a lot young ones ! I cannot find a way to thank you ! "
She was sniffing and hugged Emma :
" It's okay ! You don't need to thank- "
The old woman's arm turned into a giant beast arm and pierced through Emma's stomach ! Emma's blood began flowing like a red river. The old woman started laughing and then turned into a big hairy monster with long claws.
" That damn woman left me without food for days ! " Her voice became big.
She tried to eat Emma when her arm was cut and a strange radiations were surrounding Emma ! She had red eyes and two long horns. She floated in the air and with a strong punch she smashed the monster's face.
" I really hate this girl ! Why is she always make herself in danger ? "
Rakham, Emma's demon spoke yet Terric didn't understand a word from what he've said. He just heard :
" En- Gem - Bay - Rem - Hel - Hernei - Ven - Geb .... "*
Marbas felt the demon's aura and realized that something unexpected is going on !
" Tade ! Change of plans ! We go in ! "
Will they be able to stop Rakham a second time ?

" N glmbbo rmhl hrni vngb ! ro ni irl mbmoi amcl rlgilbz nj dmjvlg ? "
But the pronunciation has it's own rules for example letters together have an " a " sound like kill is Cnbb which is pronounced as Sin-bay and so many other rules .
