“Hah, did you hear him?! He cursed that he might be the strongest!” Blare laughed at Azazel’s words.
“It’s natural…” Bolt spoke deeply, “A leader feels the need to be the strongest so he can always take care of the situation when it gets out of hand. Although, it seems that his pride has been hurt as well. Tell me, Azazel The Desert Demon, have you reached the maximum of your potential?”
Azazel stared coldly into Bolt’s eyes. A reply didn’t follow.
“Fine then, shall we continue this?” Bolt’s body appeared to be distorted and slightly transparent.
Azazel tried, based on his previous experience, to prepare for an incoming attack that would appear to come from one direction, though turn out
“Now then, warrior. My eyes won’t move away from you. You are forever sealed in my world, until I decide to let you go.” Eclipse spoke deeply.He started hitting him. A straight punch to the face, only to receive zero reaction or resistance. Another punch in the stomach. Not a sound. A kick to the head brought him to the ground. Eclipse’s raw power wasn’t to be underestimated, though. With his left hand he grabbed Andrey’s head and lifted him back on his feet.“Literally, dead weight.” the crescent eye bearer mumbled.While holding his head he started punching him in the stomach with powerful right hand swings.From Andrey’s mouth, blood slowly started to come out.E
A month had passed. Andrey was still unconscious. Azazel was still in the same condition, unable to recover any mana. His biggest achievement was going out of bed for a shower, toilet, and then back to bed.The Demon’s legion had suffered a real devastating defeat.Everyone was grateful to Dea’n’ha for saving everyone. Though were they really saved? Azazel, one of the strongest mages in Migigaia, was turned into a weaker than the average common person. Andrey Makiya - just as close as that. He hadn’t even reached his full potential as a mage yet, but there he was. Laying in bed, completely healed, but his eyes wouldn’t open.During this month of recovery, Niko had been often visiting Azazel’s house to check out how the two mighty men were. Each time with hope that he would b
“Now, my children,” Grandma let go of their hands and looked them in their eyes, “I guess you expect me to know how to fix this, right?”“Grandma, we are praying that you know!” The bard spoke in pain.“Do you know how?” Dea’n’ha asked.“Granny, we didn’t come here for nothing, I am certain.” Aluca said, making him sound kind of awkward and out of character, which attracted both his partners’ attention.“You are all correct. I do know the answer, yet… I do not.” The old lady said with a smile.“What does that mean?!” Illien asked, confused by the uncertain answer.&ld
“So you’re planning… on practically killing me, without the killing part?” Azazel spoke with a faint smile.“I’m afraid that’s a good way to put it.” Dea’n’ha replied.Illien started explaining, worried that maybe this isn’t the best choice after all, “Brother, I’m sure that we can think of something else, if you-”“It’s fine.” Azazel intercepted him with his faint voice.Illien exhaled deeply, revealing how worried he was about this decision.“I’m sure that I’ll be okay. I’m in fine hands.” The Demon spoke.“Maybe Andrey, if he wakes up,&rdquo
Dea’n’ha stepped inside Andrey’s room. She looked at him as she silently walked in, as if not to wake him up. Then the realization of his coma came to her and with a note of sadness she made the next steps towards the bed more confident and noisy.The blue-haired sorceress sat on the side of the bed and looked at Andrey’s calm and sleeping face.Her angelic voice whispered, “Hey… I really need you back here.” a tear with its own will immediately jumped down her cheek all the way down to the bedsheets.“I am desperate for this to work. I don’t really know… what exactly I’m supposed to do. But I will try to get inside that smart and hard head of yours. If it’s empty, you’re not there, I’m going to find you and pul
It took a few minutes, but everyone walked into Azazel’s room. Lastly Andrey walked in. He wasn't in his usual outfit. He was with a white T-shirt and white pants."Well, ain't you a rare sight." Azazel smiled at Andrey."You… What happened to you!?" Andrey's jaw dropped.All the others shared stares among themselves."Maybe we should have told him first…" Illien mumbled.Andrey looked at Dea'n'ha and expected an explanation."Well…" she started, but was intercepted by Azazel's weak voice."We lost the fight, brother…" The night had come, and everyone had been sleeping tightly in their beds. Andrey and Dea’n’ha - happy they could be together again. Aluca - thinking about drones and butterflies. Illien - dreaming nightmares of what could happen.Alone in his room, Azazel was still asleep.Using this opportunity, Beleth warped into his room.He sat down on the chair next to Azazel and looked at him for a while.Finally he spoke, “Azazel, my Demon. It’s really strange, and it has never occurred to me that one day… You would be tied to a bed.”Beleth hovered over Azazel’s body with his hand.He sighed and said, “My most loyal royal guard…&rdquoMakiya 196. The friendly, completely innocent, competition
“What’s gonna be the next challenge?” Andrey jumped excitedly, happy to test his limits.“I say push-ups.” Azazel suggested.“Okay, I’m going to break the record for most push-ups. I’m telling you. My chest is so buffed that I can probably lift a cow with it.” Niko spoke with a destructive voice.“Wait… do what?” Dea’n’ha leaned her head forward and narrowed her eyebrows.“You think so? I’m sure I could lift a horse with mine!” Andrey immediately decided to join in on the rivalry.“Cows are usually heavier than horses!” Aluca whispered in Andrey’s direction.“Then how about I lift two at once, eh?!” The black-dressed mage immediately corrected himself.“Wait, that’s about two tons of weight, isn’t it?” Illien asked, wondering if he’s catching up with his competitors.
