Chapter 2

I open my eyes when I feel a jolt coming out of my soul. I sit on the bed and rub my eyes. I take a deep breath and expand my demonic energy. A second later, a portal appeared next to my bed. I can see what looks like a field with people running toward my portal.

I change my clothes, take a deep breath, and walk through the portal.

As I walk through the portal, I can see two silver-haired women hugging each other while crying and a group of black-robed people running toward me. I can see my calling card in the hand of the younger woman and nod my head.

"My name is Gideon Agares. What is your wish?"

The little girl looks at the paper in her hand in wonder before suddenly saying.

"Help us! They want to hurt us!"

"As you wish. We shall discuss the payment for my service later. For now, let me take care of these people."

I turn around and create ten magic circles. A hail of elemental spells came out of my magic circle and hit the target. I blink for a second when I see them die from that attack. I use a low-level spell that a low-level magician back home can use.

Hell, even humans can block or at least tank that damage. Where the fuck am I?

"Avada Kedavra!"

I stomped the ground and created a wall made of earth to block the incoming attack. I snap my finger and release another barrage of magic at the attacker. I cancel the earth wall and see three people survive my attack.

They point their hands to the sky and release a stream of magic into the sky to create the shape of a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth before disappearing. I know that symbol. It was different from the movie, but they are the Dark Mark, right? The one from Harry Potter.

Wait a minute. I look at the two young women and realize who they are. Are they the Delacour sister? I put that thinking aside and walked toward my client before saying.

"Let me heal her. This one is free."

The younger one hesitated for a second before deciding to let me get close. I nod and kneel next to her. While Devil Race did not have the best healer other than the one coming from Sacred Gear, we do have healing magic.

I create three magic circles on top of the older woman and start my work. Lucky for her, it was not that bad. The curse did not get too deep and only enhanced the bleeding two times worse than normal. It looks like the curse's job is to make the target bleed to death. It is a sadistic way to kill someone; long and painful.

I dispel the curse and then increase the blood flow and cell regeneration rate. After I am done, I can see people look at me in shock. Well, more of the corpses around me.

"So, what can I do for your Ladies and Gentlemen?"

========================================================================

|3rd POV|

"So, what can I do for your Ladies and Gentlemen?"

The Auror, the police force of the Wizarding World, looks warily at the man in front of them. Gideon might not know this as he is busy, but the others already see the fight between him and the black-robed group of people, the Death Eater.

They have never seen that kind of magic before. They have never seen a magic circle in their life, and they never see someone effortlessly control the element as the man in front of them.

"My daughters!"

They snap from their thoughts when a woman runs toward the two young women. The woman hugs her daughters tightly and asks them what is happening. After they are done saying what needs to be said, the younger woman, Gabrielle, points her finger at Gideon.

"Mama! This man helped us! He is the one killing all those bad guys!"

The woman looks at Gideon with gratefulness and says.

"Thank you, young man. Thank you."

"It is not a problem. I only do my part of a contract."

"Contract?"

Gideon points at the small piece of paper in Gabrielle's hand.

"Your daughter calls upon me, and I answer. She asked me to take care of the 'bad guys,' and I completed my contract. Now it is time for her to complete her part of the contract, my payment."

"W-Who are you?"

Gideon snaps his finger and creates a dark dome around them so the others cannot see and hear what is happening inside the dome. After doing that, he unfurls his wing and says.

"My name is Gideon Agares, and I am a devil. I came here after your daughter summoned me through that card."

After knowing his race, the woman quickly stands in front of her daughter and says.

"Take my soul! Take my soul instead of my daughter! Please!"

Fleur, the older woman, stood up and shouted at her mother. She says that she will be the one offering her soul because her sister calls Gideon because she needs to rescue her.

Seeing the escalation, Gideon decides to interrupt and says.

"Wait. There is a misunderstanding. A devil did not take souls as payment like in the past. We take other things."

"Ah."

Apolline, the mother, releases a sigh and says.

"Then tell me your demand."

Gideon thinks for a few seconds before saying.

"Knowledge. I want knowledge. I want books about your magic. I don't want anything complicated. I want all the books your daughter's school uses to teach their students until graduation. Don't cheat on me. Our race is known to be petty, and we will have our revenge if you dare cheat on me."

Apolline nods her head and says.

"I shall gather the books."

"Good. Three days and three nights. That is the time I will give you."

Gideon hides his wings once again and cancels his magic. He can see more people around his magic, and some even cast spells at him. Unfortunately for them, they are slow, and Gideon creates a magic circle to block all the attacks.

He creates a portal and bows at his summoner.

"If there is nothing else, I need to return."

"Wait!"

He looks at his summoner and says.

"Yes?"

"Can I call you again? And what is the payment for your presence?"

"Gabrielle!"

Gideon chuckles a little and says.

"Five Gold Coins per hour."

"I see. See you next time!"

Gideon waves and walks through the portal as a hail of spells rain upon him. When he returns to his room, he can feel his power slightly increased, and he will get books from the Harry Potter world. He wonders if he can learn from that world and maybe sell that knowledge to a magician organization.

However, the knowledge he really loves to get is the knowledge about potions. He wonders if he can make a potion that can heal even the devil race. He will get a lot of money from selling the potions in the market.

Their healing spells only reach the basic level. They can dispel curses, but they can only heal a basic injury.

"If I can create some kind of potion with the same effect as Healing Potion in the game… Huhuhu~ the potential is endless!"
