Chapter 70: First mission?! Part 1
But Luan points to his watch, and makes a signal to speak through their other voice channel, so the DSO can't hear them, then he points to go together, and let the DSO think that each one has gone one way, if this is some kind of test or even a trap they will find out now, they use their demonic form now, now they can feel the presence of some demon, and vice versa, in case they are attacked, they sense something, everything indicates that it is on the left path, They soon start walking, but there is a lot of mist, Luan needs to use the control of the wind element to see if the mist dissipates a little, he makes a movement with his right hand back and forth, then with his left hand, his rhythm increases so that he can manipulate the air that forms through his movements, becoming the element of wind, he then blows the element, causing the mist to dissipate and this can show them the path, previously almost impossible to see, Luan manages to see further ahead, before the mist takes over again, they decide to run, making them more aware of a possible attack, they both look at each other, and know that they need to be prepared, they run, and as predicted something attacks them, something with tentacles, one of them attaches itself to Luan's arm, he observes that it is green and is like a plant, which squeezes his arm more and more, he without thinking too much cuts it with his elemental dagger, making it shatter on the ground, but soon after he is attacked by another plant, he dodges, Derick isn't hit, he has a lot of dexterity, and he notices that they are coming from one direction, he prepares his elemental arrow in his bow, and fires his arrow, and already prepares a second arrow, and he hits something, the mist begins to dissipate even more, making it possible to finally see what is attacking them, it is a demon of short stature, wearing ancient medieval clothes, and has a frog face, it is seen that one of the arrows hit his right arm.
Apparently it was easy to hit him, but not everything is as it seems, he continues to move with the tentacles that come out of his back, theoretically he was supposed to be paralyzed by the effect of the elemental magic that is in the arrow, and Luan could conjure it, but soon afterwards the demon uses his power to grow new cocoons, but these look more like mandrakes in larger sizes, It's a good thing Derick remembered to bring PPE masks for both of them, so they can't inhale the poison. Luan makes a jewel sign with his finger to Derick, meaning (well done), and tries to think of something while dodging the countless tentacles of mandrakes that try to hit them, he takes a flask and his lighter from his vest as he runs in a circle around the demon, he knows that the water element won't help at the moment, maybe it will make them stronger, as soon as he stops running he then lights the lighter and begins to manipulate the fire with his left hand, since his right hand needs to use a dagger to defend himself against the tentacles, While Derick fires countless arrows at each mandrake, slowing them down in their attacks, Luan, without taking long, begins to dissipate the element of fire in his hand, burning all the mandrakes, as they fall apart both with the elemental magic of the arrows and the fire that consumes them, Luan jokes:
"Oups, a vegan barbecue coming up..."
Derick laughs discreetly, as he knows his companion is full of jokes, but then reminds him:
"Luan, watch out for the demon, we need to catch him soon, or this barbecue won't end today."
But Luan smiles and points to the ground, there's a circle made of gunpowder, yes exactly Luan has brought a small flask of gunpowder, and a few small flasks of elements in his vest, mages need to be prepared for anything, after all they need to manipulate elements all the time, you can't just create them, he lights his lighter again and ignites the black powder on the ground, taking the shape of the circle Luan has formed, making it impossible for the demon to escape, Luan increases his control over the fire element, while Derick and Luan stay inside the circle with the demon, in a short time the gas that is forming, begins to bother the demon and the excessive heat that begins to form in the circle, beginning to bother Luan and Derick, who can't delay, Derick promptly takes two elemental arrows and shoots with his bow, Luan needs to go manual, he runs towards the frog demon, the demon tries to fire its tentacles, but Luan manages to dodge, managing to get close to the demon and hit it with his dagger in its belly, after all the demon is shorter than him, its eyes change color turning red and the eyeball black, which comes closer and speaks in a demonic language:
"You have two choices, to die or to live, I can leave you alive and send you to a safe place, what do you choose?"
The Demon seems to understand what Luan is saying or should I correct devil braker bone, he even tries to resist, but Luan presses, but still his dagger in his belly, causing pain, the demon mumbles in a demonic language then groans in pain:
"I choose to live, this is just a test for you two...Arghh"
Devil braker bone smiles, and slowly pulls his dagger out of the demon's belly, after all he enjoys others feeling pain, and agony, that's one of his greatest pleasures, he thinks:
(Brat you were right, this was just a test, what an unusual way for DSO to test them, in the end do whatever you want with this demon, he must be of some use).
