In the real world, Thomas stood in guard against the demon prince. This time he tried the skill he got from Dike.
Immediately the person before him was covered in blood red mist so dense it was almost solid. The sensation of danger was soo strong it made Thomas' feel dread.
Dispersing all these feelings, Thomas stood with his guard on. Waiting for summon his soul bound armament, Spear of Ares at any moment.
In the other side, Arthur was curious as well. Ever since coming to the human world, there hasn't been a day he didn't want to leave. Being the emperor's 127th son, he had dozens of more talented siblings than him, and so he could only swallow his grievances when his majesty the Emperor ordered him to take over earth...
The problem was that the Sonad family wasn't the only family to set their eyes upon Earth. Other invaders such as the Rejhan, Lycans and others all started their attack on humanity with the same objective as his.
During this period, he knew human had started doing experiments on demon blood and even succeeded in producing some Meras. What he couldn't accept was that the boy before him didn't seem to be part of these experiments.
'I can't recognize the origins of this physique... A test must be done.' Reaching a decision, the man stepped towards Thomas, fully unleashing the power of his bloodline.
If it were any other demon, the pressure from a high-grade bloodline should be enough to incapacitate it and force it to submit.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.... One full minute has passed and everyone kept staring at them, unsure of what is happening.
Slowly, Thomas started to lower his body. His knee lost control and kelt against his will. Seeing this, the corner of Arthur's lips rose in content smile.
"...." Clarisse and the rest of the team were all in alert, why would Thomas start kneeling down before the enemy?
"Hehehe..." A faint smirk formed on his face as made a signal with his left hand. A pure white circle formed in his pupils, as a string of light emerged out of his eyes. The invisible milky-white particles in the air all mashed together with a single thought of his then...
PA! A blinding flash illuminated the whole forest with its light.
SHOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!
Sudden a bright flash burned the eyes of the demon prince who couldn't see anything, following right after was a cyan silhouette that crossed through the spot Arthur was about to step on.
"Ahhh!!" Screaming in pain, the demon prince looked down and saw a large chunk of meat has been cut off right next to his stomach. When it slowly down, a cyan-colored sword was seen flying past Thomas before it flew into the hand of another man not far away.
'Kan!' Knowing the opportunity he was given, Thomas rushed forward. His speed so fast it left over two afterimages in the ground as he swiftly approached.
Meanwhile, a white-clad man approached Clarisse and the others. They couldn't understand the words coming out of his mouth, yet his body language was enough to see he wanted them to follow him.
Clarisse hesitated, then she heard a Thomas' voice her mind which made her stood up and run to the direction the man was pointing to.
Looking back, everyone did the same thing as if they heard exactly what she heard and they left the area. However, Arthur wasn't stupid, his injuries healed in a second.
"Ohnup ed aurum!"
Arthur breathed lightly, in his fists, erupts the radiant ray, in an instant punches forward.
Despite his heavily injured body, the demon prince showed his greater experience and understanding when using the power of elements. The gold element, Arthur has comprehended to an extremely profound level.
This fist, containing pure gold element, unleashed its power!
The golden fist and divine spear collided. Thomas felt his arm shaking as he felt the impact broke several of his ribs. It was scary, In a single exchange, his transformation nearly deactivated.
On the other side, Arthur looked surprised to find a deep cut on the surface of his hand.
'Oh?' To be able to cut through his gold element and demonic energy to his hand wasn't something a common weapon could accomplish.
Now injured, Thomas concentrated. The strength of a demon prince is indeed much greater than himself. He already expected this when he learned of his identity, now he understood... To win, he couldn't be afraid to release a hundred percent, no even 200 may not be enough.
While he was thinking, Arthur didn't stop and unleash a second one of his previous attack. This time, Thomas unleashed another wave of light, which was able to burn the surface of the demon prince's skin, but not before a heavy punch hit him in the face.
His demon transformation dissipated, revealing heavily injured mixed-haired youth. By this point, he already sent a message to Kan, saying for him to return.
Arthur's aim was him all along so it was better not implicating his friends. The demon prince doesn't seem to have killing intent towards him anyway.
Looking at his fallen self, Arthorias praise. "Amazing, a demon with light element affinity and a strange artifact bound to his soul. Dad will certainly award me when i bring you in."
Walking closer, he grabbed the youth by the leg and with a wing-shaped artifact at his back, he flew towards the giant rift in the sky.
Seeing the giant circle of light getting closer, a attracting force seemed to grab hold of him and the demon prince taking both both into a tunnel of multi-colored lights. In a matter of seconds, The demon prince happy with his captured to notice Thomas shut eyes suddenly opened, engulfed in baleful aura.
