A demon, one of those creatures that thirty thousand years ago have exterminated half of the human race if it were not for the hunter to stop them humanity would have been exterminated with the other races as well.
The demon was almost skin and bones, this means that it was not a royal class.
The demons are divided into two large classes, the commoner and the royal. In the commoner class there are the Imps which is the lowest class and of grade G, High-Imp an evolution of an Imp and is of class F, soldiers a class that uses weapons the class varies from E-C, knights a class better than horses and the grade is B. In the royal class there are, Barons and Nobles the lowest royal classes their group goes from A to S-, then there are the Counts and the Marquises important class the grade and between S to SS-, then there are the Dukes maximum class (beyond prince and king) whose grade can reach up to SSS-, then the princes final evolution of the demons and only reaches SSS, then there is the demon king a unique class considered an anomaly whose grade goes from SSS+ to Z which Z is the maximum grade.
The soldier like the demon in front of Fia is Maxwell is a demon that uses mostly weapons like sword does not use other weapons.
The demon turned and looked at him with a penetrating and horrifying look classic look of a demon.
"I ask you, reveal your name" Fia said suddenly turning the sword towards the demon and speaking in demonic language she was having a bit of trouble speaking it. 'What the fuck??' Maxwell thought listening to Fia.
"Are you okay, did that climb go to your head?" Maxwell asked.
"Of course why should I feel bad?"
"You know you just asked a demon's name."
"Ever heard of etiquette? Demons care about it and thank goodness you're supposed to be a prince."
"What? Demons care about etiquette? Never heard of it."
Fia sighed and then said: "Fifteen thousand years ago an etiquette agreement was made with demons because they care about it and since it was nothing bad it was approved, obviously etiquette in this case means showing up and that's all."
Maxwell's face was surprised to hear that news, in the middle of the half-chat the demon seemed to get impatient.
"Umh... Humans, are you done?" The demon asked, his voice was cold and disturbing, he placed the sword in front of him, a symbol was seen on the hand that held the sword.
"The symbol of the black snake clan" Fia said looking at the symbol on the right hand. The symbol represented a snake, the color was a vivid and dark red as if it were dried blood.
The demon's red eyes widened in surprise. "Oh? You are knowledgeable human, it is rare to find knowledgeable humans, you also seem very intelligent and skilled, I like you, the prince might even like you, what do you thi-" "I'm sorry but I refuse." Fia cut the demon off before he could finish speaking, she had understood the demon's intentions and decided to refuse in cold blood.
The demon got a little angry, he bit his lips his sharp teeth penetrated his lips and a little black blood came out, "So that's how things are? Too bad, it would have been nice but it seems you chose to die." The demon got into a fighting stance, Fia made a soft whisper to Maxwell: "Get ready, he will attack you from the right, raise your shield without giving the impression that you understood where it will attack." Maxwell for a moment doubted but had no choice but to trust, so he raised his shield with the symbol of a golden wing and prepared himself.
"Good, good, prepare yourselves humans today you will perish" The demon charged headlong at Maxwell, as Fia had predicted attacking from the right. Fia was behind Maxwell while he parried the blow and sent the demon back, Maxwell turned surprised and said through his eyes: 'How the fuck did you do that?'
'Simple just look at his eyes, demons especially soldiers point the point where they have to attack with their eyes, so be careful' Fia replied with her eyes.
The demon continued to attack ferociously, slowly Maxwell began to get used to it 'Right, down, in the middle, above' he said in his mind.
'Tsk, he is increasing the pace of strikes' Maxwell thought to see the demon continuing to attack, his tongue was hanging out he looked like a psychopath.
After seeing an opening in Maxwell the demon opened up but the blow was strangely blocked.
"Don't think I would just watch" Fia said from behind while smiling, she was holding a long magical staff, with gold inlays, the staff at the top had a large red sphere that was surrounded by a silver crescent moon.
The demon was amazed and said: "Tsk, a hybrid or whatever they're called."
"Exactly."
Fia looked directly at Maxwell and gave him a sign 'attack now do the counter attack!' that was what she wanted to convey to him.
With a slight nod, Maxwell got into position his shield and sword lit up. '[Counter attack]' Maxwell used one of his skills.
'Counter attack, a skill that is both defensive and offensive. From what I've read the more you are attacked and the more you parry the stronger the attack with the skill becomes. Also the skill reduces the damage taken by 18% it's very convenient, in the future Maxwell could become a great meat shield.' Think Fia watching Maxwell hit the demon, the blow made a wound along the abdomen which however the demon immediately regenerated.
'A tough nut to crack, damned demons and your regenerative abilities' thought Fia, who moved the magic staff and pointed it towards the demon and started to cast a spell.
