Chapter 20: Demons

There are two demons this time. I know that I am afraid. These demons are dangerous and they can really destroy anyone. I am still a weakling and I barely have beaten the demon last time and if not for Voltaire, I am totally dead. However, I have no reason to call them for my aid. I don't like it when I owe favors to someone. It makes me feel bad just thinking that I am indebted to someone. I don't have any time to grow and experience all kinds of sh*t in this world if I keep on relying on someone. I cancel the mana scan and wear the gloves. But wait, I don't want anyone to know me especially if I am using magic, therefore, I put on my hoodie and put a handkerchief in my mouth and nose to cover it, only revealing my eyes.

It is not true that I am not afraid. I am afraid. This is not something similar to human fights. This is a demon we are talking about and one wrong move and you will die. But why care about it if there is a life that is on the line? No one will be able to rescue her out of this predicament. Which means that she could either live or die depending on the choices I will make.

I didn't waste my time and headed to the convenience store. What is strange is that there are no people around, not a single one. It shouldn't be like this because it is still too early in the evening. Even if there aren't any people passing by, there are still neighbors to count. Now that I think about it, when I did the mana scan, I do not detect any humans in the vicinity except the cashier. I just didn't notice it because I am more focused on where the scream came from. Now that I found out, it raises one question; where are the others? Surely there wouldn't be abandoned houses here everywhere right? I just saw earlier this morning that everything is fine and there are still other people doing their chores. Then where did these people go? Then one thing popped up in my mind.

"Mirror World"

It blocks off other people and only those who are able to enter the world are those who are allowed to enter. But one question surface again.

'How did I get in?'

Before I can answer, my phone explained.

"Magicians who knows how to use Mirror World can automatically enter an existing Mirror World. You will be able to enter one without noticing so you shouldn't worry much about it."

I sighed in relief. I thought I have the ability to pop into a private place. Good thing that I can enter automatically without any problems.

As I rush into the convenience store, I saw the whole place in the wreckage, the shelves are broken and everything is thrashed. On the counter are the two demons while a girl is currently being held in the air with almost no clothes left. I didn't have time to admire the view because I am not a pervert.

Seeing the girl is unconscious, I quickly activated my gloves and also the shoes. They are still busy with the girl therefore they didn't notice me at all. Seeing an opportunity, why not grab it?

A fireball appeared in my hands, burning a lot. Without warning, I hurled the flames to the demon that looks like a tree.

BOOM!

The flames seem to be able to burn out the demon that when it hits the demon, the flames quickly grew bigger and engulfed the demon in flames.

"Ah ah aah! F*CK! Put the flames out! Ahhh! It burns!"

The other demon did not expect this turn of events so he didn't get to respond. Even so, the flames rapidly engulfed the demon and charred him to ashes, leaving the drops. I didn't expect that to be so easy. Looks like flames are the weak type that demon has. The other demon looked into my direction and grimly looked into my face.

"Did you do this?!" he said to me as he put down the girl into the counter.

I didn't respond but approached.

"Since you are approaching me, that means that you really did these, then you have to die!"

This time, the demon has an affinity for water. It seems that he can manipulate water on his whim which means that I am at a disadvantage here. I just don't understand why he didn't extinguish the flames on his buddy's body if he is water affinity?

The demon manipulates the water in his body and tried using it as a water spear but I quickly dodged. This demon is weaker than the fire demon I faced at school. In terms of tenacity and fierceness, this demon lacked it. In fact, he seemed to be weak. Even if I am at a disadvantage, I am 100% sure that I can win this battle. The demon tried to keep me on the bay by using water blades but it was weak and easy to counter with fireballs causing them to evaporate once they hit my flames.

"Stay put human so that I can pierce you with my water!"

"No way, I am not born just to die as a barbecue."

His attacks are slow and I can easily increase the number of fireballs I can throw if I really want to. But I didn't because I want to deal with the blow in his body personally and not through the sheer amount of fireballs that hit his body. I want to physically deal the final blow to him. The demon panicked when I approached. Before the demon can escape, I deliver a punch to him with flames in my hands.

BOOM!

Unexpectedly, the demon managed to block it but he was full of injury.

"Damn, I can't die here yet! Not until I bring an offering to Lord Shadow!"

The demon quickly escaped by turning into a water puddle and slithered out of the place. I tried to chase the demon but I noticed that Mirror World is breaking out that is why I decided to reestablish the Mirror World by myself. As for the demon, I am not sure where that guy is right now?

...

The demon runs away fast from the place, trying to get away from the place as soon as possible.

"Impossible, he was too strong for me! I need to ask Lord Shadow some help!"

Before he can even get out of the mirror world, a person blocks off the way. The person has a very dangerous aura. It was like the aura of death itself is covering his body. When the demon meets him, he quickly shivered and kneel down the street.

"Lord Shadow!"

But instead of answering, the person he called Lord Shadow grabs his head in a swift manner and before he can even talk, his neck and head separated from his body. The guy looked at the demon and mockingly stare into the corpse.

"You already dug up your grave," he said before he reduced the dead body to ashes. At the same time, the Mirror World also crumbled as soon as the summoner of the Mirror World got killed.

"I have no needs of subordinates who have no use. You are not even worth sh*t for the worms to eat."

He didn't stay long and opened a portal on the empty space, entering it and disappeared.
