The distortions around Marcelo and Sebastian disappeared as well, and the latter immediately ran out to meet the former. "What was that?!" "That, my friend, is the reason why you rarely see exorcists over forty years old," Marcelo replied. Despite the lightness in his tone, Marcelo's heart was heavy. This was the first time he had ever encountered one of the Seventy-Two face-to-face. He had always known that they were exceedingly powerful but to experience such strength firsthand was truly humbling. To make out worse was the fact that Morax was only a President of Hell. Had it been one of the Marquises or worse still a Duke, Marcelo was sure he would have likely been killed without even knowing what killed him. That did not sit well with him. His grip tightened around Marion's hilt. He needed to get stronger. Azrael was still waiting for him. "Come on Sebastian," Marcelo called out as he twirled Marion twice before inserting the blade into his chest without causing himself any
Everyone present could feel the tension in the atmosphere but they preferred to feign ignorance in this type of situation. Edward was at it again. He seemed to derive some sort of satisfaction in downplaying Marcelo and his apprentice but nobody dared to interfere anytime he began throwing these tantrums. Marcelo heeded Edward's words little attention. He needn't remind the man that he had just saved their lives moments ago. He seemed to enjoy tabling people's bad sides than commending a more obvious good deed. He understood that Edward's words were correct to an extent, but at the same time he had his own reasons and he wasn't prepared to share them with the group yet."Shouldn't you be a bit grateful Edward? Marcelo just saved our necks back there" Rebecca pointed out and immediately, the ranting man's voice died out. Marcelo eyes Rebecca for a second before pulling away his gaze from here. In as much as she had done good by shutting Edward up and bringing peace to their ears, she
His master's words had Sebastian's cheek turning red, but the boy did well to conceal the joy that had welled up inside of him just by hearing those words."Do you think I'll ever be as strong as you are?" Sebastian inquired of the man beside him. He knew he was being hasty with this particular question, but his motivation to get stronger would only grow with the next words Marcelo would utter .Marcelo was definite about Sebastian surpassing him. Unlike him who received his own abilities from the rituals of his family, Sebastian was gifted by the heavens, which could only entail that his powers were far greater than the ones brought about by human actions. Sebastian would definitely change the world someday, but he wasn't about to let the boy know that just yet."You might not, your abilities aren't made for battles. You're better as a support character don't get ahead of yourself" Marcelo gave his honest answer. Sebastian's abilities weren't the kind that would aid him in a one one s
"I see you've still not gotten over your jealousy streak, have you?" Minerva taunted, "It seems you have something for everybody who happens to be stronger than you are" "Are you suggesting that I am jealous of the that reject? Don't you dare compare me to the likes of that man!" Cyrus yelled out. It would be considered scandalous to ever compare him to the likes of Marcelo.It was clear Marcelo had evidently gotten stronger, the fight and the weapon he'd just watched minutes ago proved it, however Marcelo was still nowhere near his level, he was still a mediocre when compared to the might of Cyrus Quinn.Minerva scoffed lightly at her brother's words, he had no idea what the true intentions of the family was."Have you ever wondered why nobody is ever ordered to harm Marcelo, even though he keeps causing trouble for the family?" Minerva questioned the visibly enraged man before her."What on earth are you trying to say?" Cyrus inquired. His curiosity has risen, and now he wanted ans
Sebastian sat alone in the big house all by himself. Rebecca was out for a night exorcism, and Marcelo had travelled a day earlier. He had no idea on what to do with his free time, and nothing important seemed to come to his mind.His eyes lingered to the same spot where Michael's body laid dead over a week ago. He didn't know why it thought it was such a good idea, but Sebastian decided to try something new. He could tell if a spirit or a demon was here by touching the remains of the spiritual essence that lingered around the area. He had no idea if it would work for ghosts or dead people, but he decided to try it anyway.He placed his hand down the cold hard floor and closed his eyes. He was scared, but yet his entire body screamed for him to continue. He wanted to withdraw from the event, but his hand was unyielding. He felt nothing, no single spiritual essence remained within the walls of this building, and he could guess Marcelo was the reason why.High concentration of spiritual
Without another thought, Sebastian raced back towards his exorcism teacher. the demon here was no small one, and inside the body of a priest who were overflowing with soul essence there was no telling just how much more powerful it might have become.He raced back into the room he'd just been dismissed from, and luckily father Clinton was still around, tidying up the room."What is boy? What's troubling you?" The priest asked."Demons...Are inside....The church" Sebastian relayed amidst gasps for air. "A priest is possessed" He added after he had regained himself a little."What are you talking about boy? Do you not know how grave those accusations are?" "I'm telling the truth, somebody is really housing a monster in this place" Sebastian repeated with every ounce of courage and assurance. It was rare finding a possessed priest, so he didn't blame father Clinton for having his doubts. "Are you certain of what you're telling me boy?" The priest asked for clarification, pointing finge
"Pesky exorcists, they got what was coming for them!" The fleeing demon commented amidst a wild cackle Outside it's host, It's voice wasn't as demonic as Sebastian had expected. It was almost man like with scaly skin and and reddish black skin. Two immature horns stuck out of its head and it's eyes glowed bright red. It looked multi jointed, and could easily bend itself without fear of breaking any part of itself.It was now free from the posture he had sighted it in seconds ago, and made a quick leap towards the only visible exit out of the room. It was taller and bigger in size too, almost reaching the same height as his master, Marcelo Quinn Giving into his rage, Sebastian felt an ominous pulsation ripple through his veins, at this point he felt as though he was capable of doing anything. There was this innate knowledge about every existence that he had no idea how he had acquired. This knowledge was still strange to him, but it didn't matter as long as he was able to use them to
"I still don't remember. Who are you again?" Sebastian repeated while taking calculated backward steps away from the boy in front of him. "Benjamin Freckles, remember? From the orphanage." The boy in question answered. "The orphanage...." Sebastian drawled while his mind wandered off into a deep thought. He remembered moving to an orphanage after the death of his parents, but that was it. He had no memory of his time and stay in the orphanage, perhaps that is why he cannot remember this Benjamin Freckles. "Don't worry about It, let's get out of this place first." "I have to go back and apologize to them." Sebastian suggested. "Apologise for what?" Benjamin queried. He took few steps forward, but ceased when he noticed Sebastian taking steps backwards as well. "I understand that they're your friends, but you cannot go back there. They think you're cursed." He reminded. "It doesn't matter what they think, the obvious reality is that I'm not cursed." Sebastian argued."I'm not so s
