Not so far away from the forest near where Devon and the two girls were adventuring, there was a secluded area, a hill that blended with the wild nature. The free-spirited elf girl once ventured that area of that hill and found out that there was a cottage with two humans resided in it. Listening to the rumors spread from merchants or other adventurers passing by, Arwen learned that one of the human who lived in that cottage was the famous wise man. Accompanying the wise man there was a beautiful girl that loved wearing red dress.The cottage was right in the middle of the hill with lots of vegetation like high trees, corps, and fields of herbs. Going to the West side, there was a river but no fishes were spotted there. The surrounding was not too bright because the shadow of the tall trees made the perfect barrier to hide the cottage.Inside the cottage, the two humans were enjoying their peaceful lives being the recluses. The wise man named Dietrich was sitting on his favorite chair
Far away from the place where Roxanne was searching for the herbs, Devon and his friends were also searching for the wise man’s house. Arwen led the way because she probably the only one who was familiar with this forest.“Arwen, are you sure this is the right way? We won’t get lost, right?” Devon doubted his elf friend because it has been more than an hour and they stii could not find the wise man’s place.“Don’t worry, bro Dev! I’m sure this is the right path.” Arwen seemed confident. She kept on looking around to find clues about the wise man’s traces. “Move on! Are your legs killing you?” The elf tried to encourage Devon who started to move slower.“Can we take a little rest? We have been through many obstacles and it drained up my strength!” Devon looked very tired. Indeed he has been facing some difficulties back then and overcoming problems. The seven demons inside would also gave him stress every time they mock him in his mind.“What a lame. You are a man, right?” Fransesca sm
“We need to help her!” Devon instructed his friends to get ready for battle. Devon took his dagger and was ready to fight those furry beasts.Fransesca prepared her bow and arrows and started to aim her target at one of the wolves. Arwen took her sword and she was going side by side with Devon. They were ready march in.There were a total of six wolves at sight. All of them were giving their bloodlust at the poor girl in red dress. However, the poor girl did not seem to waver. She acted calmly while looking at those hungry beasts.Roxanne was enchanting a magic. She raised her right hand and a red magic circle appeared right in front of her.“Flame shot!” Roxanne shouted a spell of fire magic. From the magic circle, balls of fire started to appear and they were launched to the direction where the gray wolves were standing.Two wolves got hit by the fire attack. Both of the wolves were wounded and part of their body was burnt. While the other four wolves started to charged toward the m
“By the way, what are you doing here alone in the forest?” Devon asked the red-dress girl after making sure that all the wolves were really dead. He looked at the basket Roxanne was holding. He could see fishes and some plants he was not familiar with.“Uhh, I was picking up some herbs. But before I realized there were wolves surrounded me.” Roxanne explained her situation.“What about those fishes?” Fransesca did not miss the existence of the fishes in the basket.“Oh, the fish? I caught the fishes earlier because I want to make food with these.” Roxanne answered Fransesca’s question.“Sis Roxanne can cook!? You can be a wonderful wife someday!” Arwen became more amazed to know about Roxanne. Meeting a human with great potentials made Arwen want to learn a thing or two. “Could you please teach me how to cook?”“Eh, what? Oh… “ Roxanne was confused. Because she has been away from the society and she seldom made contact with other people. She was nervous. She only talked with her maste
Roxanne guided Devon and his two friends to walk through the forest. There was indeed no visible roadway that could lead them to the wise man’s cottage. Arwen tried to remember the track in case later she wanted to meet with Roxanne again to learn something or maybe asking the wise man itself because he must be having lots of knowledge. Fransesca felt calm because she did not sense any danger along the way. It seemed like the wild animals were not around this area. Devon on the other hand was the only who felt nervous. Not only because he was going to meet the wise man who could give solution toward his case but the demons inside him started to bully him again.“There you go again. Being shameful! How could you be so weak unlike those girls?” Lucifer scolded Devon for being useless. He knew it when the girls were fighting against the wolves and also the way the girls bravely slaughter the wolf’s corpse to get meats. But the weak boy could only watch for almost the entire incident.“I’
After hearing that super rare case Dietrich began to fall deep in his thought. A human hosting seven demons sounded impossible. Dietrich wanted to confirm it himself later after they had lunch.“So, you are here because you want to ask about a way to undo the contract?” Dietrich really knew what Devon’s main intention of coming here.“If there is a way like that. I would be happy to know.” Devon responded looking worried.“I might be able to perform some kind of exorcism magic. But I want to know first about the demons. Do you know the names of those demons?” Dietrich decided that he would try to do exorcism and it gave Devon a slight hope.“the names are… Lucifer, Satan, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus.” Devon fluently recalled the names of the seven demons.“WHAT!? Seriously!?” Dietrich became more shocked after hearing those names. He knew well that those names actually referred to names of Great Demon Lord that represented the greatest sins of humans. “How can de
Dietrich failed to get rid the demons inside Devon’s body. The wise man had used his powerful abilities before but that was not enough. He demons might be much stronger if they could absorb negative energy from Devon. That Lucifer demon was really something. Among all the demons Dietrich has met, Lucifer was the only who could make him shudder. He could sense the ultimate evil.“Devon, are you alright?” Dietrich tried to comfort the boy.Devon looked scared since he woke up. He was frozen with his blank eyes and trembled body.“Devon?” Dietrich tried to call his name. It seemed like has not fully conscious.Devon still could not respond. His body was shaking.“Get a hold of yourself, son!” Dietrich raised his right hand and touched Devon’s shoulder. A sweet and comfortable light shone over Devon’s body. Dietrich used his healing magic.Slowly Devon began to feel comfortable but he still could not get rid the echoing voices of the demons inside who commanded him to kill Dietrich. The d
Suddenly a dark aura started to engulf Devon’s body. Devon started to wake up and stand up. He looked at the surrounding. And once his eyes capture the wise man figure, he laughed.“Hahaha. We meet again, old man!” Devon laughed with his evil aura. One demon successfully possessed Devon.“Which demon are you?” Dietrich asked and stayed in his calm state. He did not show any fear.“Ah right, where is my manner, Goddamn it!” The demon started to show his politeness before he went berserk and destroy everything. “I am Leviathan, the Demon of Envy. I always hate people who are better than me and I will do whatever to make them suffer! You got a title wise man, right? It really makes me sick. What about you give up on that title or bring that along to your grave!”Leviathan started the battle. He summoned many flame spears through magic circles he created around him. The spears wee launched mercilessly toward the wise man.The wise man has expected that Leviathan would use the ranged attac
