Chapter 31 - Now it's their turn to run

No matter how fast they chase after her, they just couldn't meet up and it doesn't seem like she's tired at all. The two demon has extraordinary strength yet they couldn't outrun a rich princess like Clara, at least those were there thought.

Unknown to them, Clara was playing the role of her character in the subway surf she played earlier. Always few steps ahead, sometimes closed by, but will never get caught. She had paused the game earlier to answer their questions, so unless she halt herself; they won't be able to catch her.

She kept luring them away from people's view and they kept chasing like a fool. getting to her destination, she slowed down her pace.

It was an alleyway of standing stones, a bit far from the city.

Seeing as she slowed down, yet they couldn't catch up, they got furious and all of a sudden the dark alley started brightening up.

It was as if she's playing them, because when she slowed down, they also did the same without willing to, and the same happened when she increases her pace. They couldn't take it anymore, and will never back down, not after she spend their money and toy with them.

Seeing the place brightening up; Clara's mouth curved up slightly, it was what she wants. If she killed them in a human form, there will be a corpse and it will cause trouble for the innocent police and alert Gregory earlier.

But if she kills them in their demon form; they will turn to dust and disappear. Gregory won't notice since there are lots of them. Before he did! she would have taken out almost half of his creations.

"Stop right now or else don't blame me for being cruel," one of them said, as he tried to control the fire which he had created and was glowing fiercely in his hand, and at the same time trying to control himself not to turn, but it's just a matter of time. As long as they use their power, their appearance will change.

Clara rolled her eyes at his word but stopped anyway, which make them stopped as well, now they are not too far from each other.

"Why did you run?" one of them asked, as the fire in their hand dimmed, they thought she's tired of running.

"Why won't I run when you guys are treating me like a criminal," Clara said without turning to look at them as they approached her from behind.

It's true that she was being treated like a criminal. A little resistance and they would pull hard on her hand like they were detectives handling a stubborn criminal, trying to take her away as if she had no choice.

As they were about to get closer, she started running again, this time she ran in circles, not leaving the vicinity.

The two has finally had enough and lose control. The alley lit up more brightly this time and a ball like fire was sent toward Clara.

She ducked and the fire hit one of the standing rocks.

"Didn't Gregory warn you not to play with fire in front of a woman?" Clara stopped running and turned around to face them, they've finally turned now.

Their faces looked cracked like an ancient house that was built with mud, with a big horn on their heads, their entire being was emitting dark smoke. They have lost their human sense and reasoning out of her provocation.

"Actually he encourages it,'' one of them reply in a demonic monotonic voice which echoes In the alley.

They didn't even wonder how Clara was able to look calm and collected at their transformation. 

"Oh! that's unfortunate then, but I'm sure he will warn the others after your demise,"  before she finished with what she was saying; her eyes suddenly turn cloudy white.

She spread her arms sideways, and with the aid of her elemental powers; she access the air power, making her entire being slowly descent up in the air, her air floating behind her, while a smile still lingered on her face.

Before the demons realise what was happening, the fire they created floated away from their hand, and headed toward Clara's direction, surrounding her in a circle.

She was in between the four ball form of burning flames looking angelic and dangerous at the same time.

"You.. are.. are the guardian?" the two demon asked simultaneously in a deep hoarse voice, but one could not see the shock in their expression, but could detect the horror in their tone. 

"Bingo!" Clara replied in a sweet angelic voice that echoes in the Alley as well. She controlled the fire to her palm, while it glowed fiercely, ready to burn down anything. 

The two demons knew about the guardian but never thought they would be unfortunate to encounter her. They can only attack her in group, trying to be heroic right now can only be considered as pure suicide.

Now it's their turn to run, but unfortunately Clara has bound them from moving, it might be difficult to deal with a group of them, but dealing with two to four of them is a piece of cake.
