It was unexpected, so Ares was a bit late to escaping from it.
He had Managed to dodge the sticky liquid, But a little part of it had rubbed off against his hands.
Ares had flew off the horse and landed on the floor.. Alarmed, he looked at his hands which was affected. "Geez, what's this stuff?"
"It's dangerous!" Neon stated " It's his demon saliva containing his detest, grudges and hatred. And it's going to be poisonous to anyone who gets it, basically morals"
"Oh Crap!" Ares snapped as he angrily stared at the demon man who was crawling with both hands Clenched to the floor..The demon man was staring at him carefully, like a prey.
"How do I remove it?" Ares asked.
"Only by Killing him off" Neon Stated.
Annoyed, Ares stared at the demon man again "Well then I guess I have no choice but to show him who's the boss here. I'm their demon lord after all! How unfilial!"
"But, you can't defeat him in that state! You have no powers!"
Ares almost bit his lower lips in regrets and annoyance "Oh damn!"
The Demon man had quickly launched an attack again. And this time he had vomited off his black sticky liquid towards Ares.
But Ares was quick enough to dodge it all "You think you can get me again! You Bastard!"
"I think I'll have to take charge once again, We don't have any other chances left" Neon suggested.
"No! You shouldn't..." Ares paused to dodge another liquid vomited off by the demon man. "You're too weak to do anything! Using your powers will only get things worse" Ares urged.
"But there's nothing left now. If you don't do anything you'll die in it's hands.. It's shameful enough" Neon stated.
Ares sighed.
"Are you sure you'll be okey?" Ares finally asked.
"I'll only be lending you my sword and nothing more. So don't worry too much about me" Neon stated.
"Okey then.. Let's get this done with once and for all!" Ares said as he stretched out his right hands, A glowing red sword appeared. Aesthetically beautiful and pleasing, It was a true mystical sword!
"Come on now!" Ares snapped as the demon man vomited another Sticky liquid towards him .
But Ares took to the air with the sword held firmly with both hands "Ahh!!"
He had used the sword to slash the sticky liquid backwards as it flew back to the demon man..It had hit the demon man who flew backwards.
And even before the demon man regained his balance, Ares had attacked fully with his sword..
It only took him five authentic slash in the air. And the next minute, the demon man fell down to the floor with black blood rushing all around his face and body.
Ares stood before him, staring at the disgusting figure. He smirked with the sword hung around his shoulder "You should have Called me master. How ignorant" He smirked as the sword puffed off.
"Replenish your energy by feeding on it.. It's your demon after all" Neon suggested from Within as Ares stretched out his hands towards.
He then absorbed the soul of the demon man as black dust flew off the man and into Ares "You shouldn't have met me, now there's no Hope of after life for you"
As he absorbed it all, he sighed feeling a bit energized "I guess that was helpful. But come to Think of it, do you think these demons are reappearing broadly in the world because of me?"
"Most certainly yes. When you were sealed off, Demons and vengeful demonic souls were almost extinct. They were never seen, only few harmless soul of dead mortals could be seen by immortals..But after you were unsealed, Demons and demon souls shall roam free"
"Ah...so that's the case. But it's annoying that they won't even recognize me as their master because of this annoying body and state I'm in. I'll have to regain all again to be the distinguished Demon Patriarch which I was"
Just then, Iris, who was previously hiding quickly came out of hiding and approached them "Are you done? You were really awesome out there fighting.. A true Immortal you are!"
Ares glared at him "Don't even try to butter me up, I won't ever let you go free" He said as he walked pass her and heading for the horses.
Iris frowned..She had failed her attempt of winning him over. Because only by then can she survive!
"All these trouble for an annoying horse" Ares Mumbled as he hopped onto a horse "Hey you, get onto one and let's get going. We don't have any time to waste"
"Ah! Sure!" Iris quickly made her way to a horse.

=Ghost Sect, Penance Hall=
In the vast yet empty hall located in the Ghost sect, Young Master Ryu was seen kneeling down in the centre of the hall with both his eyes closed.
The hall seemed like a Grande place.. Judging from it's mythological designs and aesthetics, there was no doubt that it was a spiritual area.
A place known as the penance hall where defaulters came to meditate in fasting and punishment. Within their period of staying, they tend to suffer minor spiritual punishments within, given by the penance hall.
And these spiritual punishments within always varies.
It had been Young Master Ryu's second day there. He had been like that, kneeling in silence with both eyes closed in meditation.
And after while, he felt a strong pain within his chest.
Troubled by the growing pain, he had flashed open his eyes as he spat out blood to the ground.
Confused, he stared at the blood on the floor.. He already Knew it wasn't a mere blood caused by some internal injuries.
This was literally the third time he had done this and anytime he did so, he had always had that odd feeling.
It was the feeling of something unclean around him as the pain came.
Something demonic to be precise...
