Colin POV
I flew back to city B to report about the Greater imps but first I stopped to tell Alice first instead of going directly to Synthia.
"Colin you're back." Alice said as she ran out to greet me happily which caught me off guard a bit.
"I'm so hungry." She said while hugging me making my eyebrow twitch.
"You li...." Just as I was going to punish the gluttonous little vampire I felt a powerful aura radiate from behind me along with a loud roar that sent waves of demonic aura crashing into the building causing it to be reduced to a pile of rubble. Thankfully I was able to fly into the air in time along with Alice in my arms.
"How the hell did he find me?" I shouted in surprise when I saw the source of the powerful aura.
"You know that guy?" Alice asked as she transformed into her vampire form.
"His name is Hans and he is the leader of the Greater imps." I said and Alice looked at Hans for a while before a look of realization appeared on her face.
"He's the same lord Hans that that great imp said was even stronger than that Grox guy you fought." She said
"Ye..." But I didn't complete my sentence as Hans kicked off the ground towards it causing a web of cracks to form as he hurtled into the air. He appeared before me and Alice in an instant swinging his axe with a palpable rage. I managed to push Alice out of the way while the axe missed me by an inch. As he fell to the ground, I created a fireball adding my aura to it and sent it flying towards towards him. He blocked the fireball with his blade but the force carried him away from the ruined house and deeper into the city causing him to crash into a building and the fireball to explode. I flew towards him knowing full well that he wasn't dead....not even close. Hans stepped out of the debris unscathed with a red aura surrounding him, he held out his axe and I could see his aura being channelled his aura into it. He swung his axe and dozens of aura enhanced fire slashes flew towards me. I created a stream of fire destroying all of the fire slashes heading towards me but before I could even stop the fire stream Hans burst through the hell fire and swung his axe at my head. I managed to duck my head but the ace cut off one of my horns which only served to piss me off. I punched him in the stomach with my flaming fist which sent him flying and crashing into another building.
"Colin!!!" Alice shouted just as I was going to fly after Hans. In her hand were two weapons the axe I took after killing Grox and the longsword I took from one of his lackies. She threw me the axe which I caught with ease.
"Let's kill a demon." Alice said as she flew towards where Hans crashed and I could only shake my head and follow after her. Alice activated her [Shadow Cloak] ability becoming invisible but that didn't seem to work on Hans as he fired a fireball at her that exploded on contact sending her crashing into a building. I chanelled my aura into my axe and the axe glowed dimly but I could feel a palpable bloodthirst eminating from the blade. I swung my axe which Hans met with an axe swing of his own, red sparks flew in the air as both weapons battled for supremacy and the honour of their wielders. We were both pushed back and then we clashed again.... and again....and again neither of us willing to back down as that would be the same as admitting defeat...the same as admitting that we were weaker than the other.
As the two of us clashed subsequently destroying the surrounding infrastructure around us black tentacles suddenly sprouted from the ground and grabbed onto Hans' arms and legs.
"Did you forget about me you bastard?" Alice shouted as she swung her sword down unto his head. Sensing the incoming attack, Hans' body suddenly tensed and the veins in his body bulged as he released another mighty roar and his body was shrouded in dark orange flames forcing Alice to back off. Alice landed safely on the ground and I charged at Hans unafraid of the incinerating flames. Sensing my approach, Hans swung his axe which I blocked with a swing of my own.
