"If there aren't any unexpected variables, we should be capable enough to take out both the golem and its creators, without having a single casualty come to the people of that town.
We're that powerful, after all.
Besides, the golem may be high-level, but it's slow as fuck. Guess, they had to sacrifice other aspects to increase its raw power."
The boy kicked off the ground in the next second, dashing towards the hooded woman who was standing in front of the hole in the ground that she just emerged from.
His target sensed his presence and reacted instantly, creating two blades of brown aura in her hands and turning around to block the boy's sudden sword slash.
**BAMM!!
There was a loud sound as the metal and aura blades clashed, with the ground underneath their feet succumbing to the power of their strikes as the resultant shockwaves went on to create a small crater about 10 metres in diameter around them.
"Who-?!"
Before the woman could even complete her question, Evan disappeared, causing her to lose her balance and nearly fall but she regained herself in the last moment, taking up a defensive stance as she stared at the young boy who just randomly appeared and attacked her.
She also made sure to move away from the spot where they had just clashed, for fear that the hollow ground would suddenly cave in and cause her to fall down to the bottom of the underground basement.
Her gaze just remained on the boy who just silently stabbed his sword into the ground and glanced around.
It was at this time that Eliza and Greed caught up, with the high demon emitting a sinister aura that gave her cold sweat. However, while Eliza's presence seemed less dangerous, the sheer amount of magic power rolling off her body placed a different kind of pressure on the hooded woman.
The two sides stared at each other silently with the hooded woman's eyes widening slightly as she looked at Evan's shoulder, something Evan and the entity seating on his shoulder didn't miss.
"I almost forgot that you also had an affinity for spirits.
However, the spirits all steered clear of you after you joined the demonic hand."
The hooded woman narrowed her eyes in displeasure upon hearing Evan's words that revealed a history not many people knew of, however, she didn't let her sour mood cloud her judgement as she remained on guard while focusing on the boy who was still speaking.
"I didn't expect you would still be able to create the flesh golem and even make it stronger than originally planned despite being pressed for time.
Seems like I miscalculated."
Blown by the wind, her hood fell off and revealed her facial appearance for Evan to see. She was a beautiful brown-haired elven woman with similarly coloured eyes and long pointed ears signifying her elven origin.
"Nice to meet you, Senior Member of the Demonic Hand and Unit Commander under its Eight Division; Faerora.
My name is Evan Bourne Eris."
Evan offered his greetings and introduced himself with perfect manners, courtesy of his current body's original owner, before glancing around and asking.
"Where's Lensa?"
"…
How do you know that name?"
Faerora finally opened her mouth to speak, her melodious voice ringing out across the silent area with Evan tilting his head to the side and asking.
"You're not wondering how I know that you are a Demonic Hand Member but how I know your contracted Demon's name?"
The brown-haired elf's lips twisted in displeasure as she stared at Evan in silence.
'What sort of strange kid is this? All the previous hostility he was emitting is gone and it's as if he has no intention to fight.
However, I can tell that the moment I make a move that sword is not going to remain stabbed into the ground anymore.
What's more, that man beside him…he's definitely a demon. Only demons can emit such pure demonic energy.
I would have thought he was a member of a unit from another division or something if I didn't see the kid's eyes.
There's no doubt that the symbol in them is one of the 'Seven Heroes' symbols. Why does he have them?'
Faerora's mind wasn't as silent as her mouth was, as it was working to analyse and understand the current scenario that she found herself in.
'Is he a Hero? Lord Velak said that the heroes would begin reappearing when the seal is about to break, however, we hav-'
[Fae? What's going on? Why is there another Demon here?]
Her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of her contracted demon who contacted her through their connection.
'Lensa, get here fast! We have big trouble! Bring up all of the lower members with you.'
Faerora instantly took the chance to call her contracted demon out of the basement where they worked on the flesh golem, also telling her to bring out the rest of their subordinates.
The elven woman felt chills run down her spine as a deep gaze settled on her body, turning her eyes to see the owner of the gaze was the tall great sword-wielding demon who was standing next to the hero(?) kid.
"Hello? Faerora? Have you called Lensa yet?"
Evan's voice rang out, dragging her attention back to him as she could see his gaze move from her to the flesh golem walking towards the town in the distance.
'Is the flesh golem his target?'
Faerora didn't have the time to voice out her question as her contracted demon finally appeared, jumping out of the deep hole in the ground and landing a few feet behind her.
The ground underneath her feet cracked slightly from the force of her landing, with the demon quickly jumping forwards to more solid ground as she began speaking.
"I got the others to use the alternate exit, they should be here in a minute.
So now can you tell me what's going on he-!!!!!!!!"
