Damian had begun to panick
He was usually calm and analytical
Here he was faced with a beast who was intelligent to a fault
what worried him more was the thought of them being more
Corvels always hunts in packs and few of these packs had a demon as their leader
If there was to be a Demon who leads them then he might just be done for considering the worst possible outcome
"If this Corvel can give me this much trouble then the thought of there being more is really troublesome"
Just before Damian could gather his thoughts the Corvel launched at him noticing he was distracted
Damian quickly realized and dodged the attack.
"That was close"
*well there's no use thinking of all that now, I have to deal with what's in front of me first*
The Corvel had given Damian no time to think and attacked him again
it truly was intelligent
it was able to notice Damian distractions and kept attacking repeatedly
It kept attacking looking for an opening
Damian could do nothing but block and repel its repeated attacks unable to counter
*Damn, this is much trouble than I expected*
*I figured it was intelligent but I might have underestimated its intelligence*
After repelling the Corvels continous attacks, Damian was able to find his footing
^Breaths in and out^ a bit of steam could be seen from his breathe
" I guess i have no choice"
^closes his eyes^
*I had thought to save my strength considering surprises
*But if I keep this up I really would die
* who knew a common Corvel could push me this far*
^Breaths out from his mouth^
A dark aura could be seen visibly from the air coming out his mouth
This was the sign of high demons although Damian had never met one and no one knew about them
Not much were known about the feeders, to be frank barely anything was known
Damian had actually survived these past two years without putting his powers to use
He hated them, this had caused his powers to stagnant inside of him.
*To think I'll have to use this disgusting power again and just for a Corvel, now I'm mad*
The dark perspirations had spread to his body and a dark aura could be seen all around him
only those of high levels can actually notice this
the damned usually showed characteristics of demons from change in their bodies
Damian had none, just the aura and a change in his eyes which had become blood shot.
The Corvel which had shown so much of a fight at first was frozen
It was in total fear of what was in front of it
Damian was like a different entity entirely
The Corvel shrieked as though it was the blitzing cold unable to move.
Damian glared at it and it moved a step back
It contemplated running away but knowing it wouldn't make it, it simply couldn't move
It was as though it awaited judgment for what the fates had in store for it.
"Whats this, where has all that fight in you gone"
Damian spoke with anger in his voice but still in a subtle manner
The voice that spoke was clearly different, it was as though Damian had turned into a different person
His eyes were thirsty for blood, he was indeed a different person
Damian had not used his powers not just because he hated it
it seems he couldn't control this evil bloodthirst when he used his powers
He was a completely different person.
The Corvel finally found some strength
It leapt to run away from Damian but it was futile and all in vain
in a blink of an eye Damian was on the other side
He stared at his blade and blood could be seen dripping to the ground from it
He was so fast that the Corvels head separated from its body only after he put his blades back in their sheaths
it was all over in an instant....
Claps, claps, claps
Damian tilted his head towards the sound of the claps
At this point he could notice a man like statue walking towards him clapping
it was as he feared a demon walked towards him with two other Corvels
" That was a spectacule, and here i thought you were just another trash"
Damian was shocked, he had never heard a demon speak
Moreover this demon looked just like a human
He had no outstanding features, he could only tell it was a demon because of its dark aura
"You really went at it with my Dren without any powers at first, you're an interesting one"
Damian realized what the demon referred to as a Dren was the Corvel he just killed
Damian quickly moved to unsheate his sword
before he could reach it the demon had appeared before him and held his hand, he couldn't move
*He's fast*
They both stared at each other for some time before the demon spoke
"I see, so thats why"
The demon said this looking at the injury on Damians left hand
Damian was confused at his words and seeking to know what he meant quickly asked
" what do you mean?"
He was confused and also frightened but tried not to show it
Sweat dropped from the wrist of his right hand which the demon held
Even with his gloves on, he could still sweat
Damian quickly retracted his right hand and moved away from the demon
this demon in front of him was no regular demon, he knew he was no match for him even with his powers
He glared at the demon with an intense stare
The demon smiled
"Well there's no need for the death stare, I have no intentions of killing you"
This made Damian even more confused
It was common knowledge that demons couldn't talk or compromise
They were regarded as bloodthirsty feeders who enjoyed killing.
First the weird Corvel and now this Unusual demon, it was clear today wasn't his lucky day
Bewildered he splurted out surprising words
"What are you?
The demon looked puzzled too at that question
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha", the demon couldn't help but laugh
" You're a strange one, human*
Looking at Damian the demon had noticed he had no bodily change as proof of his demon powers
*where exactly is he drawing all that power from*
The Demon noticed the change in Damian eyes
*Those eyes it looks like there's more to where that strength comes from*
Of course the demon had no idea that Damian had almost never used his powers
He had never trained his Damned state causing his powers to stall and not grow
The demon smirked then smiled
Damian was disgusted at the reactions of the demon
He felt looked down on but he couldn't do anything
This one here was clearly beyond his level
He was aware that any wrong move from him and the situation with the Corvel after he uses his powers would be the same for him here
" Whats is it you want"
He blurted out calmly trying hard not to show his fear
The demon smiled and walked past Damian to where the dead Corvel lay
Damian contemplated attacking with his back turned to him but he was watched by the two other Corvels who constantly growled at him
Even without that he noticed this demon had no opening even with his back turned
The demon bent down and closed the eyes of the dead Corvel before chanting a spell in demon language
This lit up the dead Corvel in dark flames.
Damian was surprised
He had never seen a demon use spells before
In hind sight humanity had not even yet come to the discovery of demons of his kind
A Demon who looked just like we humans and even speaks our language, is this real or a dream he wondered
Damian wondered why a demon would go through the stress of burning the body of a beast like the Corvel
The Demon noticed his gaze on the Corzel in flames
"He deserves a proper burial doesn't he, thats what you humans call it"
Damian was surprised and at the same time he was enraged
This demon had likened the death of a beast with that of a human and unlike him his emotions had been riled up
"Are you kidding me"
He said to the demon in disgust ready to fight
The demon noticed the change in Damian and stood up looking at his eyes
Damian eyes yearned for the demons life
The demon sighed and simply walked past Damian to where the two Corvels where
Even though Damian was enraged he was smart enough not to make any stupid moves
One wrong move and that will be the end of him, he waited for the demon to make his move
The demon then turned his head and looked at back at Damian
Damian was ready to fight and quick grabbed the handle of his blades ready to unsheate them
The demon was quite surprised, even in such unfavorable odds, Damian was ready to take him on
He had expected Damian to flew as there have been a few chances to do so
" i already told you didn't I, I do not wish to kill you, at least not yet, it wouldn't be interesting as you are now"
Damian had no idea what he meant, even if he said that he couldn't trust the words of a demon
He kept his guard still, still ready to unsheate his blade
"As I am now? is this a game to you? Damian asked
The demon feeling no slight guilt replied
" Pretty much"
Damian was mad but he couldn't help a part of him being relieved
He could not take this demon on and win
There was just no way that was possible
The difference between them was night and day even though daylight existed no more, that would be his fate if he decided to fight
"In return for your life, tell me your name" the demon said to Damian
At this point More than anything Damian was disgusted with himself
To think a demon would spare his life
To think the existence who had forced him to live like a prey would make him face such humiliation
Humiliated he replied in a low voice
"DAMIAN"
The demon smiled noticing his humiliation and turned to walk away but stopped when he heard Damian scream
"Wait, what is your name, tell me your name!
Damian said this clenching his fist as if to take an oath
It was the first time he had felt so strongly about anything in his life, he had always been nonchalant
"Hmph, Metildore"
The demon replied Damian
It was as though the ground shook with a quake when it heard Metildores name
"Do not forget, one day I shall take that life which I have spared"
He said before disappearing into thin air with the Corvels
