The Demon Child Awakening - Volume 3

“U-uh, Jododam, good to see you here, but why exactly are you here?” I stuttered.

“I wanted to check how my half-demon pupil, but I am not here,” Jododam replied with the creepiest tone.

“What do you mean?”

“My demonic ability is blood manipulation, although I can’t control blood that comes from a host that is still alive, the only exception being my blood of course,”

“But that doesn’t explain why you’re not here?”

“Oh, pardon me, right now you’re talking to a blood clone, as expected of a high ranking vampire,”

“Oh yeah, I did a Dysan twig test, I also have a blood-related demon ability,”

“Oh, what is it?”

“I have the blood ice demon ability, which then changed to blood sacrifice, I also figured out my soul ability,”

“Oh what is it, hopefully, it’s unique like the rest of you,”

“It is, I can shift from Antrite and Antral without a demon gate, although I can only do it when I’m asleep at the moment,”

“Oh my, not only do you have such a rare demon ability only known by few vampires, and your soul ability can switch between the worlds at will if we train you hard enough,”

“There is no way we can enhance soul abilities!” I pointed out to Jododam whilst lying. I still had to keep Alicia a secret.

“Us demons do have a technique, although it only works in Antral,”

“Nevermind, is there anything else that you want me to tell you,” I sighed at Jododam.

“Yes, what is your demon rank and who is your boss?”

“I am a rank one demon, and my boss is part of the dark grimoires, Krayme,”

“Ok, he is one of my subordinates, I’ll be going now,”

Kraymes blood clone then turned into a red liquid and fell to the floor, being soaked up by the ground. After waiting a while, the rest of the group showed up out of the garden. After we met up, all of us went to the front of the school.

As we reached the entrance of a school, I saw a coachman with the same golden pattern as the regular coaches. The coachman then noticed me and bowed.

“Greeting young master Dyestral, would you like to modify your coach?” The coachman asked me.

“Make some extra appetizers, and make it have five chairs,” I simply replied.

“Very well,”

The man then simply snapped his fingers and the coach was then shrouded in a cloud of thick smog. After the smog faded, the coach was much larger, with six sides instead of four. As the coachman opened the door, the coach had five chairs and a larger table for confectionary, just like I asked for.

I entered first and took my seat. By the time I looked up, everyone had already taken their seats. I opened up my blazer and took out a wallet I had in there. Looking in, I saw that I had twenty-five silver rumes, twenty groce rumes, and ten gold rumes.

I look at the front of the carriage, where a little door was placed for the coachman to talk to. I then yelled “Hey Coachman!” at the small door. The tiny door then slid open and I saw the man.

“What is it master Dyestral,” The coachman replied.

“What is a good cafe around Onsice, around an hour ride from here,”

The coachman then thought for a moment and replied.

“There is a nice cafe which is called ‘ Horn and Claw’, it’s been used by many other people from Jododam’s household, I’ve heard they have some of the best treats,”

“Then it’s settled, take us there,”

“As you wish, young master Dyestral,”

As the coachman cracked the wh.i.p.s, the coach started to dash off at tremendous speed. Everyone was shocked and struggled to keep balance, everyone except the coachman and Abatson. I then asked Abatson a question about how he did it.

“H-hey Abatson, h-how can y-you keep balance,” I stuttered.

“H-his demonic ability is that he c-can create tremors, he’s used to it,” Lucy stuttered back.

“H-hey show a bit of respect to me, a-after all, I-I’m p-paying,”

“Y-Yay, Dyesty i-is p-paying!” Xirax cheered whilst wobbling in her seat.

“Dyesty?”

“It’s a nickname!”

“Pfft, she does it to all of us, Lucy is Lu-lu, Astaroth is Astarat, and I’m Batty,” Abatson rudely intruded.

“Well, I’ll let that one slide,”

By the time we finished talking, the carriage came to a sudden stop. As we all went outside, dizzy and slightly nauseous. Astaroth suffered the worst, vomiting up on a nearby tree and acted as nothing happened, this explained a lot more personality.

As we entered the cafe, the entire cafe was fully detailed in gold, silver, and groce. As all of us entered, a maid, came to us. As she got closer, I saw that she looked like pure silver. She stopped about one metre and curtsied.

“Welcome to ‘Horns and Claws’, I will accompany you to your seats,” The maid chorused.

“We’ll have our table with a massive view,” I replied.

“Understood, please follow me,”

We followed the maid towards the porch. As all of us went outside, Xirax, Abatson, and myself were amazed at the view, Lucy and Astar just thought it was ‘ok’.

As we took our seats the maid asked us a question.

“Would you like our silver menu, our groce menu, or, our gold menu,” The maid asked me.

“We’ll order from the groce menu, could you bring it out quickly as well please,” I replied.

“Understood,”

The maid quickly got five menus and handed them to us. The menus had thin, grey details, and it was only a few pages thick. As all of us ordered, the food came out quite fast, each one of us was amazed by how fast it came out.

As we started eating, we started to ask questions to each other, although most of them were directed towards me about Jododam, I was able to ask a few myself.

“So, everyone, is there anything else for the team?” I asked them.

“Oh, yes, you have to figure out a complete sacrifice,” Lucyfer sighed.

“So, what is a complete sacrifice?”

“It’s where you sacrifice all of your source on ability, this ability could kill you,”

“Hmmmmm, I could use my blood sacrifice, using all my blood and the opponent’s, I’ll use that for now,” I muttered underneath my breath.

“Stop muttering, let’s play a game,”

“What game?”

“Do you know what the game ‘magic’ is?”

“Well, Lance, the guy that you tried to kill on the first day told me the rules about it, I have played a few matches with him,”

“Well then, since you know the rules, this is going to go much faster,”

“I’ll volunteer as a referee!” Xirax then cheered randomly.

“Very well, let’s begin, Abatson, create a field ” Lucyfer snorted.

“Understood,” Abatson replied.

Abatson then clapped his hands and two cuffs appeared, one on each side on both our hands.

As both of Lucy’s and my arms were clamped to each other, we both closed our eyes.

As I opened my eyes, I was surrounded in an endless body of light, a mirror then appeared before me. As I looked into the mirror I saw that my body has reverted into my demon form, although my body illuminating different colours. My body was a light blue, my demonic parts were emitting a dark purple, and my eyes were pure green. I expected that due to my elf eyes, they were a different colour.

Suddenly, the ground started to change to a rainforest. As I jumped from tree to tree, not to be crushed by the moving trees. By the time it stopped, I was looking around my environment, seeing how I could use it to my advantage.

“Hot and humid, boosting both our main sources,” Lucy yelled somewhere.

I turned my body around to see that Lucy was standing a few trees away from me. Her body was Lucyfer’s demon body, her body was a blazing red, and her wings were the colour as my tail.

“Hm, well I don’t know what you’ll do, better keep it even,” I yelled back.

As both of us got ready, we were both thinking the same thing, ‘I want to win’. I already had many different strategies in my head. As the wind started to grow still, I wanted nothing but one thing at that moment, may I win.
