2025-01-18 22:22:27Damian walked around for a few minutes with no sight of Kale or Sofia, he began thinking, he had literally been to every single room though he didn’t enter not to be disrespectful or mistakenly walk intruding anyone’s privacy, even if he couldn’t use his demon powers well or at all he was at least confident in some of his angel powers that were still functioning, if someone was inside any of the room he should have been able to sense it.
“Downstairs” Lucifer muttered.
“Huh” Damian exclaimed, lightly confused, he had barely heard Lucifer’s words.
“I’ll direct you, go outside” Lucifer began instructing, after about ten minutes of following Lucifer’s directions, Damian finally arrived at a building built behind the mansion, he would have arrived sooner if it wasn’t for him mixing the directions together and Lucifer rambling, he still wondered what Lucifer meant by telling him to go up but he waved the thought off his mind taking it as one of Lucifer’s rambling.
Damian walking into the building pushing the huge double doors at the entrance, walking into the room the sight Damian was met with was one of a dimly lit room almost impossible for him to even see through, the lighting of the building wasn’t the problem of course it was the ash-like fog that filled the entire room, since he set foot into the building making contact with the ash-like fog he could feel his movements partially restricted, though at the entrance it was barely noticeable, as he kept going the fog only became denser and harder to move in.
He felt his feet get stuck once again until he decided to activate ‘pass through’ one of his angel skills still functioning, the moment he activated it his movement became lighter and quicker though it wasn’t to the point of ignoring the fog, it was enough for him to move a bit freely in the area ahead, he looked at his hands and realized he could barely see his fingers, continuing forward to the centre of concentration of the fog he saw twelve glowing white small circles the size of buttons, they were spread out forming a big cube about ten feet, in the middle of the glowing cube was Sofia in the same attire he first met her, the oversized white trousers and v-shaped neck shirt.
‘Is this what she meant by training? Well it makes sense…’ Damian wondered to himself, he was thinking when he suddenly paused his train of thoughts because he sensed something faintly, he looked in the direction only to see a black small ball it was something that could be held in one hand, it was flying at great speed towards Sofia but before he could move he could already see Sofia in motion, that’s when he realized she could actually move faster than him in the fog at least even if it was by a small margin he could still see it, she immediately stretched out her left hand to support the right which was going to catch the ball, the moment contact was made a very low bang sound was made, Damian could guess the fog also affected sound.
After contact was made Damian noticed her hands shaking. That's when he finally looked at her full being and noticed her drenched clothes and the multiple beads of sweat that covered her face, but above all her face still had a firm determined look.
‘Oh, she’s been here for longer than I thought…’ but before Damian could complete his thought he sensed something else, faster than the last ball he saw by almost double the speed, a small back ball was headed towards him from behind, Damian immediately turned around, he couldn’t stretch his hand out to stop it but he positioned his arms in a defensive manner across his chest and the moment contact was made he was pushed back stopping immediately inside the glowing cube created by the twelve glowing button sized circles, turning around he was met with a confused gaze from Sofia, but it was immediately replaced with a serious expression and he knew why because they could sense the two incoming black balls from the opposite side.
Damian this time seemed to react faster than Sofia, being in the white cube with the skill pass through on made him slightly faster than Sofia, he stepped forward to stop the incoming ball from behind Sofia, Sofia seemed to understand immediately and moved at the same time to stop the ball coming from Damian’s back.
As the ball made contact with Damian’s palm, a huge wave of drowsiness overcame him and at the same time another ball was coming at a greater speed, because of the drowsy feeling his reaction had been a tad bit slower causing the ball to make contact with his stomach, he was lifted off his feet and immediately fell unconscious.
At the dining table, Kale sat at his normal position as the head while Damian and Sofia at the side, opposite of each other, none saying a word of what happened during training Damian found it awkward but he decided against being the one to speak, everyone was just enjoying the meal at hand, at least Damian came from a family of royalties so he at least had the manners not to begin eating until Kale began.
While eating Sofia suddenly stopped and voiced out giving her father a very serious stare “More than fifteen percent” she said sounding partially angry.
“Oops...” Kale muttered with a light awkward chuckle.
“What do you mean ‘oops’” Sofia complained imitating his single word.
“I thought you could handle it…” Kale replied, trying to defend himself.
“You know very well I can’t” Sofia cut him short.
“I mean there were two of you and…” Kale spoke again, coming up with another defensive tactic.
Damian just stared blankly at the father and daughter bickering about, although Kale sat at the head of the table right now it felt like his daughter held all the power right now until they suddenly stopped bickering and both turned towards him, Damian lost in thought didn’t realize him being stared at, the sudden silence didn’t even seem to affect Damian in his thoughts.
“er…” Lucifer trailed off confused at why Kale and Sofia were staring, he wasn’t paying attention to their conversation but when Damian’s mind trailed off it felt more like they were staring at him but his confusion managed to get Damian back.
"Uhm... why the stare” Damian asked with a nervous tone looking at himself again if there was anything wrong with him.
“Nothing, sorry, uhm...just wondering what you were doing in the training hall” Sofia spoke first nervously rushing her words till she calmed down and spoke her mind.
“Well, just decided to drop by and check up on you guys” Damian replied casually.
“I’ll advise you not to wander around too much…don’t end up in the wrong place” Kale said lightly advising Damian. “Kid, will you be joining us with the training?” Kale asked Damian.
“Sure” Damian replied, Kale appeared a bit shocked at his quick reply even Sofia was getting ready to convince him if he refused at least that’s what she expected.

Demon System Lucifer's entrance
“Did I use too much power” Kale asked himself as he dissipated the fog, after all it was a part of his abilities, while training Sofia he had sensed Damian’s presence since his arrival in the hall but he decided to just keep an eye on him dashing around the fog and throwing the black balls at Sofia, Damian got closer to the middle of the hall which surprised Kale a bit, he knew how well the restriction of one’s movement became in the fog. It was at that moment a thought crawled into his mind ‘Why don’t they work together in training’ and with that he immediately dashed behind Damian and with a little bit of added strength he sent a ball towards Damian, his intention to get Damian into Sofia’s cube.With both of them together he believed they could handle him using a little bit of added strength to defend against the black balls, increasing his speed a bit he dashed around and threw two balls towards the duo with just enough time for them to be prepared but unexpectedly he added a bit
Demon System Lucifer and Kale
Back in the training hall Kale and Lucifer stood roughly 100 metres apart from each other on a plain terrain, the brown floor seemed to be made of a strong metal capable of withstanding the outcome of the battle that was about to take place, a bluish-purple coloured dome descended encircling the area where the battle would take place to prevent stray attacks from damaging anything and also hitting Sofia who stood outside the dome watching every moment almost refusing to blink.Before now, back in the dining after Lucifer took control, Lucifer was speaking with Kale about giving him a good spar and how it was meant to be, they finally decided on slowly rising in power as they fought as they didn’t wish to go all out, for Kale he simply wanted to know the extent of Lucifer’s strength.“Are you ready?” Kale asked, and Lucifer smirked in reply.“Are you sure about this, oh great demon king” Damian asked, mixing sarcasm in his words.“Oh please” Lucifer said sounding bored “I could take th
Demon System Eyes of darkness
The large smirk on Lucifer’s face plastered across Lucifer’s face seemed to be the most noticeable thing in the bright flames.“I’ve grown weak” Lucifer said in a low but deep voice clear but also indiscernible to all present only Damian heard him clearly.“What do you mean?” Damian couldn’t help but ask, according to what he could see of the present situation Lucifer and Kale seemed evenly matched.“Watch…” Lucifer said a single word, Damian wanted to complain that he was obviously paying attention to the bout but Lucifer’s next words cut him short “… not with your eyes with your senses”.As Lucifer said Damian began to observe the energies colliding with his senses and not by the appearance of the energies he could see, as he observed although unclear as he just started, he could slowly make out the true battle taking place, one thing also became clear the flames were gradually losing the battle of strength.“But how…” Damian wanted to question but was interrupted.“I can sense it,
Demon System Encounter at the recovery pool
The position he took was one he adapted from back in the palace, he wasn’t sure if it would make any difference now but it was one he usually used when he wanted to meditate or when the superiors entered seclusion, it helped in calming the mind and soothing the body in order to increase concentration.After about half an hour Damian began to see the outline of the objects in the room it was then he realized how hard it was to actually use the ‘Eyes of darkness’ it was probably because of Lucifer he could easily use the skill last time, but what surprised him more was that he could see in all direction a perfect 360 view and even better he could see through some items, though it was only partially like through the closet in his room he could see the outlines of some clothes though it appeared blurry, he knew it was because he just learnt the skill, perhaps in a while his would be able to see the through the entire house.“There’s more to this eyes of darkness than the name implies” Dam
Demon System Martial hall duel
Each decade the martial halls of both families, the Heart and the Silver holds a duel to determine the strength and rights of the other, it was their way of competing and no original member of the families were allowed to participate, the duel was held for the students under the martial halls, it was how it had always been.“Is there a problem here” a voice suddenly came from behind the group causing all of them to scramble back a little in fear, they hadn’t felt the presence approach almost like a ghost appearing behind them, why wouldn’t they be frightened. As for Sofia she smiled recognizing the voice.“No problem at all Mr.Heart” the one who appeared to be the senior replied politely, cold sweat forming all over his face, he was clearly either nervous or still frightened, “We were just telling the young miss how curious we were to see the strength of the Heart’s martial hall students this year” he said once again but this time his tone sounding a bit relaxed as if he possessed the
Demon System Beating from Sofia
Damian could be seen sitting in a cross-legged position, he seemed to be meditating, suddenly he stood to his feet and at the same time another figure sitting in the room stood up from a chair in the corner.“Are you done with the second cycle” Sofia asks Damian, for the past week they seemed to have been spending more time with each other, she had been sitting waiting for him for about an hour, after freshening up she had joined him in his room meditating but she ended a long time ago and it appeared like Damian was still fully immersed in his, it wasn’t like she could find out actually as his eyes had been closed for the past week, with nothing to do she picked up a book to read and sat on a chair in the corner of the room.“No, progress is too slow” Damian answered, he and Sofia had become closer, it was in a way what Kale wanted, just he never expected it to happen like this, he wanted them both to be close so the probability of Sofia and Damian passing the exam through teamwork w
Demon System System skills
Sofia dashes forward gathering momentum in his fist, she felt the need to teach Damian a lesson or probably beat him injured so he wouldn’t be able to participate in the duel but she knew it was impossible, he’ll probably just end up healed up to peak condition before the duel, nevertheless he needed to be thought a lesson. Her fist connects with his right rib sending him a few feet into the air, although the Ect rank the among the pinnacle of the lowest ranks the difference between each ranks wasn’t something that could be blindly ignored, she immediately followed up with a side kick to his face sending his body sliding across the floor.[HP: -10]Damian held the side of his rib in pain as he stood up in pain, he could see Sofia about twenty metres away from him, her face blank almost void of emotions. Sofia dashed towards him again, she was faster, stronger and had more endurance than him, she was a third phase Ect rank after all just a bit short of breaking into the next rank but h

“So you're saying you have healing powers and you never told me” Sofia asked shocked and in disbelief, while Damian simply nodded, he was tired of explaining to her. She had left to get him a healing pill only to get back and find him healed and okay.“I’ll be back” Damian said leaving the room, going back up to his room he was eager to check out his skills.[Status skills]Damian called out in his mind, his skills were a part of his normal status; it was just optional for him to open it or not.[Pass through (level 1): User gains the ability to phase through items or attacks.

The next two days in the Heart's manor were pretty heart felt, the elders spent the days with their families, some creating memories, some writing wills, some sharing things as simple as meals, in all the two days for the Hearts were pretty touching.Some families even began moving away from the Heart's portion of the island or outright leaving the island, they all knew that should such a mission fail, the decline of the Heart was one that was quick to come.In a particular field many families could be seen talking, some eating, some just having fun.Kale could be seen walking across the field, he had a sad smile on his face, normally such a scene would bring a bright smile onto one's face and warmth to the heart but knowing the reason for such a scene was what brought bitterness and ache to the heart."Dad, you promised to train me to be as strong as big brother" a child's voice could be heard as he made a fist with his small hand and threw it forward, the child had a small stature w
Kale's flashback
"I'll give a run down on the mission one last time. And you will all give an answer right now" she said, her words holding absolute authority.The elders that sat around the table all had disapproving looks but none dared to voice out their complaints, after all they had all sworn their loyalty to the Heart.They knew the mission was for the progress of the family, it wasn't the mission they were against but the risks it entailed, should anything go wrong, not just their families they were the support of would crumble but the Heart family itself. But they knew it was all for a greater cause, the success of the mission meant immense benefits to them, if the head of the family could make such a decision, they could too.The woman seated at the head of the table nodded slightly seeing no one on the table voice out any complaint and the determined look on their faces."A planet has been discovered quite a distance from earth...and yes it's over a galaxy away. In a hidden part of the plane
Haunting memory
In a bright red small room, a young man could be seen, he sat in a lotus position with his eyes closed as he maintained a meditative stance, his entire demeanor seemed extremely calm almost as if the man was harmless, but if one was to sense the kind of aura he possessed, they will see more than their eyes were letting on them.A dark grey-like aura began to seep out of his being, the grey-like aura started out gently slowly seeping out but as it went on it began to flutter around violently in the air, as the violent nature of the aura increased the figure furrowed his brows as he tried pulling the grey-like aura back into himself or to at best contain it to just around himself before it violently flooded the room, after all he was still in Ozai.The raging grey-like aura that thrashed violently around the room slowly became steady and its violent nature turned less violent, as Kale continued to try his best to contain the energy sweat beads formed across his face but he knew he couldn
Mission briefing
The figure that introduced himself as A began to move his fingers causing the holographic images to zoom out, after a while he paused, the current image over the rectangular table was a view of space, from earth to multiple planets beyond.A began to motion his fingers again across the air causing the image to shift as he navigated to the edge of the galaxy; after the last planet in Earth's solar system, a distance away a planet almost the same size as earth could be seen."Planet Zuluran...it owns a rare artifact the Grandmaster wants, the planet may seem large but they are just a few civilized areas" A began his briefing."If the Grandmaster wants it so bad, why can't he resort to better ways than to steal it" one of the figures seated at the table muttered lowly, but sadly in such a silent room with powerful individuals, everyone present heard, although his words were direct disrespect to the so-called Grandmaster and could warrant a punishment none seemed to be surprised or disag
A
–Tap, tap, tap–The sound of footsteps could be heard as two individuals could be seen walking down a white hallway, they were both dressed corporately, one clad in a white suit with a tablet in his hands while the other in a grey suit. "The completion of this mission is very crucial to the Grandmaster Mr. Heart, I hope you can put in your utmost best" the figure in the white suit said to the one in grey walking beside him."My request is likewise as important to me as the mission to the Grandmaster, but how sure am I that it would be fulfilled" Kale replied to the figure, his tone calm as they proceeded down the hallway.Silence filled the air as nothing was said after Kale's words, the duo slowly approached a set of black double doors."The Grandmaster always keeps to his words, owning the biggest organization in the world isn't a simple feat" the figure replied before opening the door for Kale to walk in.Kale walked into the room only to be met by a rectangular table with four in
Rescue: The end
"Ahhh" soon multiple screams filled the forest like a bunch of souls screaming from the depth of hell, the flames spread to the trees, the dry leaves seemed to cause the flames to burn fiercer, all the silver students screamed their lungs out m, they ran around trying to escape. But it was impossible to escape Hell.The trees began to tumble and with each crash a tree made with the ground flames were raised and spread far and wide causing the forest to light up brighter, the orange hue of the skies complimenting the theme of the burning forest, even the four Crivon ranks had no hope in all the chaos.Among all the chaos in the middle of the forest there remained a portion that was without flames, in the circle Damian stood, Sofia and Tina beside him.Damian suddenly turned to face another direction, his full focus was in that direction and suddenly he bursts into flames, in another part of the forest Damian appeared from the flames and began walking forward, another figure could be se
Rescue: Flaming forest
"Let's go" Damian said forcing himself to his feet with a large amount of struggle, Sofia and Tina could hear the loud footsteps too, the Silvers were coming, Damian racked his brain trying to think of something, with his low energy teleporting all three of them would be troublesome and even if he could, the distance would be too short and they would be followed again, he wouldn't want his energy to hit zero causing him to go unconscious so he had to be careful.Damian was in the lead as he had taken off first, Sofia and Tina following behind, he had no skill activated so his stats were just around average but he still remained ahead of the duo, he was still trying to come up with something we he was well aware at their current pace, the Crivons would catch up first and in their groups state that would be enough to put an end to their little games.'Think, think, think' Damian repeatedly screamed in his head hoping he could come up with something but to no avail, the Crivon ranks were
Rescue: Escape attempts
Damian thrusts his hand forward sending the shadows forward when while controlling every other shadow in the room to the green gas cloud, the Silvers watched the strange phenomenon unable to react, as the shadows covered the gas, Damian's eyes widened with a large smirk plastered across his face, none in the room could see it and even Damian would have missed the details without the eyes of darkness.The shadows were causing the gas to erode as if eating into the gas causing it to disappear gradually, like a group of parasites attaching a host, the shadow itself was fading away gradually as it was being affected by the gas, but its effect against the gas was stunning.'It seems I've finally found its use' Damian said to himself, the shadow seemed more of a defensive kind of ability to him, Damian waved his hand scattering the shadows that separated the two forces.The Silvers had their eyes widened in surprise while the one who had cast the skill looked at his own hands, getting over
