Chapter 55 - Alcohol i kicking back in

The fire grows began and looking fierce, while the demon kept staring at her with a darkened gaze, his lips curved up in a mischievous smile.

It was just as she had thought, as she couldn't manipulate the demon flame like he did the others. She has been concentrating on controlling the fire to her side as it grows on his palm, but it wouldn't budge.

He pushed his arm forward, throwing the fireball at Clara, while she step aside and ducked it, while her eyes turn white immediately, as she created her own fireball.

Unlike the demon red fire, hers were blue, with a hint of yellow.

They fought for a long while without any of them getting hit in a least. They kept creating and attacking, while both parties ducked swiftly.

Clara decided to use the earth against him, binding him from lifting himself from the ground, but it's not working either, as the demon was only bound for a few seconds before moving again. And unfortunately, there isn't any water source around.

She began to wonder if she has met with Gregory himself, and maybe he's just toying with him before he killed her.

But on second thought, she knew it's not possible. If he is indeed Gregory, she won't be able to detect him even if they met, unless she summoned him, which he can't resist, he would heed the summon whether he likes it or not.

This one she's fighting with, although he is extra strong, she could still see the dark smoke emitting from his body, as well as his invisible horn, which has surfaced after they began fighting.

Meanwhile, the demon was pissed because she used earth bind on him. He let out demonic growl and went down on his four limbs. Before Clara realize what was happening, then the sound of bone cracking was heard from the demon.

Clara watched as he is turning into a wolf and her eyes widened. 'he's shapeshifting?' she asked herself in disbelieving. 

Though she was shocked, she didn't wait for him to complete his transformation before getting into action as well. 

Her entire body lifted from the surface and float up in the air as she had her arms spread sideways, a tornado like waves circling around her in a speed motion.

In between the tornado waves, "let's see if a wolf can hold breath," Clara said with a smile she didn't mean to, while her voice came out angelic, sweet to the ears, and also the alcohol is kicking back in.

She was controlling the air around the demon wolf to herself. The fully turned wolf struggled and struggled on the spot for a while, before it manages to let out a loud howl and breath it's last breast.

He was trying to show off his strength and met its end quickly. He didn't even get to show his wolf capabilities.

....

Inside a big mansion.

A certain someone's eyes turned pure black, an evil aura emitted from his being as he heard the howl, it felt like the howl sound was made in his head.

He stood up immediately and dash out at frightening speed, not visible to the normal eye.

*****

If Clara knew who the identity of the demon she just killed, she would celebrate when she gets home.

This particular demon was more like a successor to Gregory.

His life was highly valued by him, and he did not risk him going with him when he is summoned by Clara's ancestors.

He has lived long as well and was able to maintain his youthful appearance without having to suck out life from human like Gregory did to maintain his.

It's a rare thing which piqued Gregory's interest ever since he noticed this after a long time of having him around.

Since then, he has been nurturing him, and he is actually in charge of killing the guardian's other piece while Gregory heed the summons of the guardian with the rest of his demons.

He is the one who killed Clara's grandfather, great grandfather and many more before, as well as the other piece whom were befriended.

The demon noticed that his master's creations were missing one by one, and have gone to investigate without Gregory's knowledge. When he had his suspicions about who it might be, he underestimated Clara's present ability and tracked her down.

He has always felt like showing Gregory his true potential, he felt strong and increase of power and supernatural abilities, but Gregory is making him use it on mere humans, so he wanted to prove to him he could do much more by taking out Clara for him.

Which was why he took her to a place that is far from water, his strength could break through the earth defence and his fire cannot be looked down upon, he felt so confident and never thought of air.

He has been studying Clara while they were in the club and notice she was odd, he is a patient demon just like his master, they have lived long enough to get impatient at things like the newbie demon.

If Tim had not approached Clara then, he's willing to toy with her a lot, same as if the woman had not pour water on her.
