"He is extrely powerful and fast," Thomas explained. "And his mana is extrely high."
Drake's eyes widened. 'No way.'
Thomas continued. "I barely managed to survive because of him losing an interest. And it was really close. If he wanted to kill , he could have easily killed ."
"I-Is that true?" Drake asked, stunned. "Wait, don't tell -" Drake frowned. "You're saying that Dorian is a demon now too?!" Drake ca to his senses after a mont of daydreaming. "But I've visited him during the holidays. I saw his face. There is no way he is a demon!"
Thomas smiled bitterly. 'That's because you didn't see him awake.' He thought. "Yes. He is a demon now."
Drake stared at Thomas in disbelief. "Are you fucking serious? No, that can't be possible. How can he turn into a demon? Why now?!"
"No idea," Thomas shrugged. "But he definitely turned into a demon."
"So, what are you going to do now?" Drake raised his brows.
"That's why I am here. I need you, Drake, to help take him down." Thomas told him bluntly. "Before he brings a disaster to the Elental kingdom."
"Y-You..." Drake raised his brows in disbelief. "You've got so nerve to ask to kill him after what he experienced!"
Thomas quickly shook his head. "No! Not kill! I want to seal him!"
"Seal him?" Drake frowned. "For how long?"
"Until the humans he swore vengeance against pass away!" Thomas said furiously. "I don't care if it takes centuries! Just make sure he can never harm anyone again!"
"Wha-B-But why?" Drake shook his head, confused. "Why can't he just let out so steam until he regains his senses? You can't expect to agree to kill soone without any consequences!"
"Because people will die!" Thomas shouted. "His hands will kill people! Do you understand? His grudge is against six families! Three families are nobility of the Elental kingdom!"
"So that's how it is." Drake sighed. He knew that if a demon attacked three major noble families, the Elental kingdom might crumble. "Fine, I'll help you."
"Really?" Thomas asked with hope.
"Yeah, why not? I'm getting bored, anyway." Drake shrugged. "It doesn't matter that much to ."
"Thanks." Thomas smiled. "Now, we better get going. The sooner we take him down, the fewer people will get hurt."
"Alright, alright. Let go and inform my wife." Drake created a portal and teleported to the city in a holy kingdom where his wife lived. After a few minutes, he returned. "You ready to go?"
"Yes." Thomas replied.
"Good." Drake nodded. "Wait. You ntioned an angel, didn't you?"
"Yes. Lucas Ciffer. What about him?" Thomas asked.
"If he's not an enemy of an Elental kingdom... Why can't he help you?" Drake suddenly asked. "This is suspicious."
Thomas awkwardly chuckled while scratching the back of his head. "While it's true that he is not an enemy... But he also doesn't view at Dorian as an enemy."
"What? So he doesn't care about an Elental kingdom?" It baffled Drake.
"That... That I don't know." Thomas muttered. "I an, he had many chances of destroying the entire city, but he just ran around killing random criminals."
"I see. So the stories about angels being driven by desire to punish are actually the truth." Drake frowned. "That's interesting. Wait, don't you think Lucas might join Dorian?"
"Eh? What?" Thomas's eyes were wide open in realization. 'If Lucas's joined Dorian, it would be a pain in the ass.' Thomas thought and anxiously bit his nails.
Drake wondered if a rogue angel wouldn't end up an even bigger threat. Especially because Dorian's and Lucas's interests are aligned at this. If either of them decided to destroy the Elental kingdom, it would beco a colossal ss.
Thomas nodded. "I agree. That is a possibility. We should be careful with him. Angel's mana is poisonous to us."
"Seriously?" Drake asked. "How poisonous?" Drake glanced at the sky. "This is dangerous. If what you said is true and angel is poisonous to us and the other demon is as powerful as ... We're at a disadvantage. Our only advantage is Elizabeth." Drake smirked.
"Huh? What do you an by advantage?" Thomas asked.
"We have the elent of surprise." Drake explained. "We can kidnap her and force Dorian to promise to leave our world. Or... Seal him, as you planned from the very beginning."
"That's a great idea!" Thomas exclaid.
"Well, it's not a great idea." Drake sighed. "It's a shitty idea that makes ashad. However, it's the only way I can avoid fighting him."
"That's fair enough." Thomas said.
"So..." Drake started thinking. "Let's get things moving. I'm going to search for Elizabeth in the capital. I will summon you when I find her." And with that, Drake disappeared.

"A-Are you sure it's safe here?" Sarah asked nervously, peering around the dark alleyway. She couldn't make out much through the darkness, but the area seed deserted. "Do you think we're alone?"
"It's fine. I hope there are so muggers here!" Lilith assured her. "You need so practice, fighting people!"
"Oh, co on..." Sarah shrugged, her face turning red. "I'm not trying to fight anyone! Just practice! Can't you tell I'm not a fighter?!"
"Stop arguing and just do it!" Lilith snapped, irritated. "Or else I'll tell Lucas that you're a chicken!"
'Ugh... Fine! Wait... What's a chicken?' Sarah sighed and took a deep breath before she turned to Lilith. "Eh, what is a chicken?"
"WHO CARES WHAT CHICKENS ARE?!" suddenly Lilith yelled and slapped her own forehead. "Dammit! Just do as I say and kill soone!"
Sarah's face turned red again. "Eeeeeh... You want to kill soone?! Are you insane?!"
"Yes, I am! Now! Go! Kill soone!" Lilith ordered, waving her hands impatiently.
"There is no way in hell I am killing soone!" Sarah protested. "It goes against all my beliefs!"
"Then what did you co here for?" Lilith snorted. "To learn how to use magic? Where else can you use it?!"
"But-but... No! I ca here to learn to help people!"
Lilith chuckled. "Yeah, I bet you did. But if you can't kill people, then how will you protect yourself if soone attacks you?"
"T-That will not happen!" Sarah declared quickly. "Why would soone want to hurt ?!"
Lilith stared at Sarah with a blank look on her face. "You're adorable and naïve creature."
Sarah was a beautiful girl, but she had a wiry fra and a lean body, which made her appear frail. Her skin was a pale white color, and she had short black silver hair and pink eyes. She looked a bit like a Japanese ani character.
'"You have no idea how adorable you are." Lilith said with slight irritation in her voice.
"EH?!" Sarah pouted. "And I'm not adorable and naïve! You're the one who's naïve, not !"
"Whatever," Lilith said dismissively and walked further into the alley. "Fine, don't kill. Just beat them if soone attacks us."
