'Is this the end again?' Aiden wondered as he was felling down with his body hanging limp. He couldn't use his Shadow skills and was rendered useless against such a monster.
'Hey system, you still there?' Aiden asked as he tried to look down and saw burning fire staring back at him.
The core of the demon realm was much closer than the core of the earth. It was quite surprising to see how quickly Aiden reached it.
< It's not the core host. The demon realm is a place where fire rages beneath the surface. Sometimes during earthquakes, lava travels to the surface of the realm. > The system replied as Aiden smiled at its words.
'Still correcting me till the last moment huh. You haven't changed one bit in ten years system.' Aiden replied as he tried to use his skill again.
[ An error has occurred. The Moon Wolf's special ability prevents the usage of shadow-related skills. ]
'I guess I am going to die again.' Aiden sighed since there was nothing left for him to do.
He had already died once and it had been much more brutal than his current death. But this time, his life had been a little bit more peaceful than last time.
'I still didn't get to live my life though.' Aiden thought as he closed his eyes and was prepared to die.
"He is dying to early. It's all their fault for choosing such a place even though they knew that we have never been here before." Infini said out loud with narrowed eyes as she saw Aiden felling towards the lava.
She wanted to interfere and save him but that would be against the rules. And breaking the rules was never a good thing.
"Wait, is that..." Infini's voice trailed off as she saw a figure flying towards Aiden and Infini easily recognized the figure.
"Guess this realm isn't that bad." She said to herself with a smile while she kept looking forward.

"Aiden, Aiden, AIDEN!" Aiden's eyes suddenly flew open as he heard someone calling his name.
The heat had started getting to him and he had fallen unconscious but he was now awake.
Aiden felt cold air hitting his body as his eyes slowly focused to see Kisuke's face staring at him with worry.
"Teacher, what are you doing here?" Aiden asked as he tilted his head to see that they were sitting in a part of the forest.
"I rescued you from that place by using my wind element." Kisuke replied while releasing a sigh of relief.
"Where is that Moon wolf?" Aiden asked as Kisuke's face darkened.
The tress started to rumble again as the Moon wolf suddenly landed on the ground with brute force and many cracks appeared on the ground.
"You are still marked by the Hunter's Mark. My child passed the effects of the skill to me before dying and I can easily track you using it. There is no escaping me kid." The moon wolf said out loud as Kisuke stared at Aiden.
"Did you battle a pack of Tempest Wolves alone?" Kisuke asked he looked for any wounds on Aiden's body but he was perfectly fine.
"Yes?" Aiden replied as Kisuke was shocked to see that he managed to get out of a fight unscathed.
'He probably killed the pack and judging from the Moon Wolf's words, the pack had a direct descendant of him. How did Aiden kill such a being?' Kisuke wondered as he looked at the Moon wolf's appearance with narrowed eyes.
'It looked so formidable in illustrations but seeing it in person is actually terrifying.' Kisuke thought with a small smile as he took a deep breath and glanced towards Aiden.
Even though he wasn't showing it, he was actually terrified of fighting the Moon wolf. He had no idea how Aiden looked so calm despite being a child.
The answer to this was simple. Aiden had never heard about the Moon wolf before.
"Aiden, step back and try to prevent yourself from getting hit. And while you are doing that, try to brainstorm a way for us to escape." Kisuke commented as he stepped forward while taking a deep breath.
"You are going to fight him alone?" Aiden asked in a voice full of disbelief.
"I didn't get accepted as the teacher for the imperial class this easily though I was clearly lucky." Kisuke replied while turning back with a smile as he then looked forward towards the Moon wolf with a challenging face.
"So you are the one who is going to fight me? I commend your braveness demon but you might have been a little too foolish to think that you can challenge me." The moon wolf replied as Kisuke suddenly smiled.
"Who said I am going to challenge. I just have to distract you." Kisuke said as he raised his right hand a bright white flash of light suddenly took place.
The moon wolf's eyes widened as Kisuke suddenly disappeared and appeared a few feet away from its face and released a white ball of light it.
"A demon with the light element? People with the light element are rare to find but a demon with the light element is extremely rare. Here I thought I had seen everything." The wolf commented as it went forward and gulped the white ball of light in one go.
"But sadly, you are not strong enough to defeat me." The wolf said as he turned to look at Kisuke who was smiling.
"As I said, I don't need to fight you. I only need to distract you for some time and I have successfully distracted you." Kisuke said as the Moon wolf looked confused.
"What do you mean by that?" It asked back but it suddenly realized something. The hunter mark had suddenly activated again which meant that Aiden had escaped.
"You!" The wolf growled as it pounced on Kisuke who didn't move from his spot. But shockingly, the wolf's paw passed right through his body.
"As I said, I was successful in distracting you. Now you can do nothing except try to find us." Kisuke said as his body started flickering and vanished.
"An illusion. Can't believe such a cheap trick fooled me." The wolf muttered as it growled deep in its throat and started searching for Aiden and Kisuke.

"How did you do that teacher?" Aiden asked as Kisuke smiled at his words.
"Just call me Kisuke and as for how I did that, I just created an illusion using the light element. There are many ways for someone to use the light element and this is one of the more trickier ways." Kisuke replied as Aiden looked confused.
"Does this mean that you have both the light and air element?" He asked as Kisuke slowly nodded and turned his head in the north direction.
"We should keep moving by using my air element." He said as Aiden nodded and both of them started flying.
"I was wondering what will happen if the Moon wolf catches us this time? Will you be able to fool it for a second time?" Aiden asked as Kisuke gave him a dark humorless smile before replying.
"We will simply die painfully so hope that it doesn't catches us."
