{MC POV}
"Ok I will help you, I find these demons or whatever." I said.
"Thank you" said Reyanna.
"I am going to her village, but it's your choice whether you want to follow me or not" I said to my party members.
"Yeah we will follow you" said Leo while nodding towards his sister Elora.
"Yeah I will also help" said Luna.
"I will also join." said Kana.
"Please come with us. We have carriage where you can rest, and it will take 2 or 3 days to reach our location" said Reyanna.
----------------------------------------------------------------
After a journey of three days we finally reached the village.
"Please come with me to my house. You should take a rest for few hours, eat lunch and then start the investigation" said Reyanna.
"Well it's more like a mansion than a house" said Elora.
Anyway we all agreed to Reyanna, and then we went to her house or mansion.
There her maid Lia cooked food for us, and then we were planning to take a nap for few hours.
"Hey Ray I am not feeling sleepy right now so I am going outside and maybe investigate a bit." said Leo.
"You want me to come?" Ray asked.
"Nah I will be fine. You guys can go and take some rest." said Leo and then left.
"Alright" Ray nodded and went inside one of the rooms in the mansion.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Leo made his way towards the location provided by Saint Reyanna where the Mirror portal is kept.
When he reached the location he was actually shocked. The building was actually a cathedral.
Pure white walls, pillars, Statues of God's and Saint's were erected here and there.
Cathedral was also surrounded by trees on the sides. It was a beautiful sight.
But that was not the shocking thing. Since Reyanna had discovered things related to demons and the mirror portal, so he thought the building or cathedral to be empty.
He thought Reyanna will issue some warning to people but nothing like that happened. The cathedral was filled with people.
Actually Reyanna did issue a warning but since Holy church people didn't provide any help to village people. So they associated Reyanna as well to the church and lost the trust they had on her. So nobody pay heed to her words and ignored her warning.
"It can't be helped that I have to hurry because in the lava dungeon I realized how weak I was.
That Rank 6 dragon was strong and his simple tail attack was enough to kill me.
Ray was also strong. Even though he suffered a lot of fatal injuries and even got his body parts eaten, he was still the winner in the end.
I also have my pride as a dragon. I can't fall behind. So I will complete this mission as fast as possible and kill the demon, while my party members will be sleeping in the mansion.
Still I would like to come to this kind of place in group rather than alone. It's my first time going somewhere like this without my sister Elora or some knights who in secret protect me in the Dragon Kingdom." said Leo.
He didn't hate travelling alone, but as expected it was better if there was friend, family to speak their impression to each other and share the feeling.
Leo looked around at the people in the cathedral while speaking to himself feeling a bit lonely. Anyway Leo took a ["Hide Presence"] spell enchanted cloak and wore it.
Then he decided to enter the cathedral and look for the Mirror Portal.
"Hmm?"
Leo stopped moving because he suddenly felt a strange presence. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on his surroundings and see the movement of mana.
And then his gaze turned towards his feet, more accurately toward the ground.
"I surely felt some mana fluctuations underground. There is an underground passage in the cathedral?" Leo spoke to himself, and then he concentrated a bit more.
Since he is a dragon, so he has Mana Sense type racial skill and easily identified that there is an underground passage and the strange presence he felt just now is a human-shaped figure, but he can feel some sinister energy around it as well.
Leo noticed that sinister figure was moving out of the cathedral and was going somewhere through underground passage. So Leo decided to follow him and if he is a demon than Leo will kill him and finish this Guild Request Mission.
Leo followed the figure direction and reached an area devoid of any people. From outside perspective there was only a shabby house and a ruined garden.
However as soon as Leo stepped inside the garden and house boundary, everything changed, and he realized that some space spells artifacts are placed all around the house boundary.
Inside the boundary there was not a shabby house but a Huge Building. He soon saw that a portal opened in front of the Building main gate and from there a brown haired man came who looked normal at first glance, but Leo immediately sensed that he had same sinister presence, means he was the person which Leo was following. The person than entered the Building.
Then in the main hall there was a black haired individual casually sitting on his seat.
First the brown haired figure which Leo followed entered the hall, but black haired individual never had any reaction however as soon as Leo stepped inside, The black haired individual turned his face towards Leo direction accurately as though he knows about Leo's presence.
This scared the shit out of Leo but when he saw that the black haired individual was now focusing on the brown haired man, so Leo heaved a sigh of relief.
Still he didn't let his guard down because Leo instincts were screaming at him to run away from here.
Then Black haired man opened his mouth for the first time and an eerie voice came from his mouth "Go! Now do your next task and entertain the guest".
"Guest?" Asked brown haired man.
"Just go" said black haired man while having a thin creepy smile on his face. That smile alone was giving Leo some goosebumps also hearing the word 'guest'. Leo was now sure that black haired person knows about his presence, but Leo didn't ask him anything or fight him because he just wants to run from here right now.
Everything he feels about the black haired man is bad news to him. So he immediately followed the brown haired man who started moving towards the cathedral.
The brown haired man entered the cathedral and then had the same creepy smile on face.
Leo's instincts again kicked in, but it was already too late. The Brown haired man's body split into two pieces and from there a portal opened.
From inside came a man having Black skin, two horns and wings. He looked exactly like the demon which Reyanna described.
Leo got goosebumps just standing in his presence. He was strong, extremely strong maybe peak Rank 6, but he was definitely stronger than the dragon soul projection which Ray faced and defeated in the lava dungeon.
The Demon turned towards Leo's direction and then his figure disappeared.
Instantly, there was a terrible explosive sound. And then a raging shockwave. Leo didn't even have time to feel aware of his own body getting blown away. His body was struck several times, and at the end, his back collided with the wall and Leo finally stopped.
