Chapter 6 - Blood Stains the Earth

'I wish I could just sleep and train without having to be bothered about this stuff.' I thought while my consciousness faded away and I fell into a deep sleep.

(Vance pov)

'Ugh morning already?' I thought groggily as I got up stronger than I was before I slept.I got up and went outside after getting dressed.'I guess I should find things to kill to get stronger, but where would I find things to kill I already milked as much as I could out of the forest.' I thought while walking again

While in the middle of walking I heard a booth yelling "Sign up here to fight for all demonkind! Join the human revolutionaries and win the coup against the human monarchs to finally get an advantage over those hypocritical white loving freaks!" She shouted to no avail as no one came to sign up.

'That's it! I could become a mercenary and join the war to get a free pass to kill as many people as I can!' I thought hoping to get stronger faster, I walked up to the booth."Do you want to join the army!?" She asked excited "No I would like to know if I can join as a mercenary here." I said obviously slightly disappointing her

"Sigh yes you can you just have to present your rank and what you would like to go by." She said in low spirits "I'm a true demon rank an-" I started speaking before getting interrupted "True demon rank!?" She yelled and everyone started looking over murmuring I immediately pulled up my hood and put my finger up to my lips shushing her. "S-sorry" she stuttered

"It's fine just hurry up" I said not wanting to be put on the radar of any hot shots in the area "w-w-what would you like to go by s-sir." She said trying to keep her back straight and acting formal "fade is fine." I said trying to speed up the conversation while coming up with a name off he top of my head.

"Y-yes sir fade, a-alright your information has been sent to the outpost up north. Go up there and they will give you your mission." She said still stuttering "alright" I said quickly while immediately rushing out of there.I grabbed an oni mask off a booth then immediately departed to the outpost up north to get a mission.

When I got there I was greeted by three demons whom based off of the number of badges and medals the had where high ranking.Starting from the left was a short petite woman with brown hair and eyes the hair was tied up in a messy bun on the back of her head. Along with a third eye on her forehead she was carrying two daggers and wearing a military outfit.

The one in the middle was a man with a medium build but was pact with muscle he had blue hair cut short and had a blue gem inlaid in his forehead. Along with his blue eyes and calm face he looked like the ocean he carried a long sword and also wore a military outfit.

Finally there was another woman with dark purple hair that fell down to her knees that had two horns coming out of her forehead.She also had purple eyes and wore a military outfit as well she used a long sword as well.

The man in the middle walked up and spoke "You are the true demon I suppose?" "Yes" I responded shortly and quickly trying to get this over with as quick as possible. He probably caught on to that so he started to immediately introduce the people next to him "The one on my left with the purple hair is Shira "Greetings" the woman said with a stoic expression, the one on my right with the brown hair is Shie "Heyo!" The woman said with excitement and a smile face.And I am Eura" he told me while pointing to the respective owners of the names.

"Hn" I nodded to each of them and looked back at Eura, Eura started speaking again "I can see you're impatient for your first mission so here take this. All the information you need is in that packet." He said while handing me a packet with around eight pages "You leave with your squad at midnight." He said while walking away.

I turned around and went inside my designated tent and immediately flopped onto the bed and went to sleep."Wa… w-k- up… CAPTAIN wake up!" A voice that faded in and out shake me awake.I immediately extended my nails while slowing down time while slicing toward where the noise came from but stopping a centimeter before a girl in a military uniforms neck.

I heard an audible gulp before the girl fell on her butt and started shaking."Don't startle me like like that." I said calmly while shaking my head and pulling her up "I'm sorry but it's time for you to lead your squad into battle." She said shaking still rattled with her brush with death "Alright" I said 'I'm glad I forgot take my mask off before sleeping I have to be more careful.' I thought while walking towards the meeting point

Once I got there I saw a squadron of soldiers standing at attention "Good afternoon sir!" They shouted once I was in front of them 'Wasn't this a silent mission why did get the loud group' I thought inwardly "Good afternoon or night i guess, let's get this over with follow me and stay quiet." I said 'I'm supposed to take down a enemy outpost to the east by the end of the night. How simple at most there would be a true demon and I am already halfway through the true demon realm' I thought while thinking over any scenario possible in my head.

Once we arrived I spoke in a whisper "surround the compound I will finish them all off by myself" and before anyone could reject I dashed forward while extending my nails and slowing down time to the minimum so as to not melt through my reserves.

When I arrived everything was slowed so before they could notice I just slashed he necks of everyone I saw while looking for the leader even the ones sleeping or taking a dump weren't spared.I finally saw who I thought was the leader as he glanced at me as if he was in normal speed.

Just to be safe I cranked up my time slowing spell to the max and before the enemy leader knew it his head was rolling on the ground.Once I released my spell blood sprayed into the air from all over the camp like it was raining blood making puddles of blood everywhere.

I grabbed the enemy leaders head and walked towards my squadron who was standing still with their mouths open agape.
