Standing in front of them was Joan and Isaias. Looking at them while the door was opening slowly. In front of them, stood a child in his twelve and an old man. Thinking that these two will be their visitors for the time being.
The Demon Noble who was looking at them immediately recognized his enemy. The Demon general who was looking at his enemy before was grinning. Thinking that he was stronger from before wanted him to test his newfound power to the enemy that arrived. Joan was surprised too that his enemy became stronger. A higher realm of an entity was in front of him and it will be more troublesome to kill him this time around. Isaias too was surprised, he didn’t think that his ancient enemy will become a Demon noble. It was because his master was sealed and he can’t rise from his realm as Dullan was sealed.
In the seal site, the Demon general and the Demon noble grinned. .
“Master, let us take care of these two. We will surely bring their heads this time around,” The Demon noble said to his master.
“Bring their heads to me as a prize. I will reward you with more power if you completed the task,” Dullan said.
“Yes master, we will not fail you!” The two said in chorus.
Looking back to their enemies, they extended their wings from their backs. Demon noble stretched his wings hidden from his back. The Demon general flapped and a great gust of wind was made. Demon noble was calmer and flapped gracefully with his bat wings.
Descending at the front of the two, the Demon general landed with a bang. Demon noble was quieter than his companion.
“Well well well, what do we have here? Are these the enemies we trashed?” The Demon noble said to them.
“Ready for round two? You should have payback right?” The Demon general said to Joan while marching towards him. Feet were stomping the ground and were enough to make it rumble.
Joan was by the gate side and then he was seen as leaning his back on the corner of the door. Isaias was also leaning too as it was cool to be seen with a great pose.
“Seemed like you wanted to be beaten again. Well, let us introduce ourselves first, shall we? We want to exchange names first before we exchange blows. I am Joan and this is Isaias here. Your names?” Joan asked.
The two then chuckled at his friendly remarks. They seemed to understand and so they let their names out of their mouths.
“I am a Demon general! Balmuth!” The Demon general said in a boastful tone.
“I am a Demon noble, Gerard. Nice to meet you too!” He said while bowing.
“Those are nice names but we are in a race of time here so please step aside,” Joan said to the two.
Looking at each other, they soon laughed.
“That one wouldn’t do. We are also buying time here for our lord’s resurrection. So let us do this in a hard way.” Balmuth said to Joan.
“Hard enough like my fist,” Joan said to him.
After their short conversation, they charged to each other. The Demon general stomps his feet and a loud banging sound was made. Making the ground shake with every step. Demon noble was just nonchalantly walking towards Isaias. Isaias then used his skill [Disentigrating aura]. Just with him walking, Isaias dashed towards him.
The two then clashed with each other. Isaias twirled his staff then stomped it to the ground. Using his skill [Anti demon barrier]. Just as he used the skill. There appeared a barrier that was coloured yellow. The enemy closed his eyes but he was silent. Isaias then trickled his face with sweat. His enemy’s regeneration was so great that his skin was just damaged and was repaired instantly. Making him bite his lips.
‘He became stronger indeed.’ He inwardly thought.
Just as he was having troubles, the enemy then slashed the barrier like it was a piece of paper. The barrier sounded like a ripped paper in half. Gerard was approaching Isaias but he was just smiling. His wounds were just repairing even his skill was active.
‘This will be a tough fight.’ Isaias inwardly thought.
“Hey hey hey, is this what you can only do? Your skills seemed weak to me now. I wonder what I will do to you? Maybe hand over your head to me and I will be rewarded generously,” Gerard said to him.
“How is that even possible. I can’t cut my head and hand it to you afterwards. Well maybe over my dead body!” Isaias said his remarks.
“Hahaha! You got me, now let’s get serious. Are you not?” He asked Isaias.
Joan was also smirking. Confident too like his enemy. Just as he was approaching, he was stomping his feet. Shaking the very floor of the tomb. He was smirking at Joan as he felt that his power has shot up and was incomparable from before.
Joan too was reflecting that this enemy was stronger than before and it has gotten stronger. He stretched his wings and prepared to attack Joan. Making Joan wary of his next move. Will it be an all-out brawl or just a fight for him to buy time. It was what clouded his thoughts. Making Joan think that it was both.
“Thank you for mentioning your name to me. Now I can rest assured to kill you afterwards. I don’t want to kill you without knowing your name,” Joan said to him while grinning.
“Hahaha, you surely jest. You barely cope up in our past battle and you have that confidence? Do not underestimate me nor overestimate yourself. You will die early like that,” Balmuth said to Joan.
“Hmmm, I wonder too who’s underestimating who. Well, I didn’t live long for nought,” Joan said to him.
“You live long? Are you delirious? You seemed twelve years old to me!” He said to Joan nearly laughing.
“Ah never mind, I should stretch first,” Joan said while stretching.
It was then, the seal’s pulse became stronger and stronger. Making both Isaias and Joan alarmed on the process. Sweat trickled their faces and they both gulped saliva.
‘I should finish this quickly, we are wasting time here. Time is at hand.’ Joan said inwardly.
