The devil
The moment Rhosyn returned to the elemental plane of earth, the smile on Adriel's face slowly disappeared.
For a full minute, his face was completely expressionless as his brain raced at full speed as another smile gradually formed on his face.
But this smile ... is dark, sinister, like the smile that an executioner puts on before swinging the ax, like the smile that a torturer puts on when looking at his new victim.
It is the smile of a madman.
"I almost forgot about you ...", he whispered, as if he remembered an old long-lost friend.
Seeing Rhosyn's life, his pain, his despair, his helplessness, his weakness.
I remembered it, the memories that I had tried so hard to forget, every abuse, every aggression, the cold stares, every time that human-shaped monster forced me to undress, every dirty act that I did to that defenseless child, the days Filled with hunger and pain, the day a weak and malnourished Adriel was thrown into the streets to his fate with the excuse that 'he is old enough to take care of himself'.
He remembered everything.
All his life reminded him of his life, reminded him of his own pain, the one that he had buried deep in his soul, his despair, that he had chained in the depth of his heart, his weakness and helplessness, which he never wanted to see again, but they always ended up showing.
And ... the anger, the seething and overwhelming anger, the infinite rage that he has accumulated during each day of his life, that which he has always been repressing had come to light.
This time, he no longer repressed it, there is no need to repress, he released the chains and released the devil who has been locked up for 22 years.
The dark part of his soul woke up.
[The hidden part of your personality has awakened]
[You have met certain requirements, Epsilon's brand has been weakened by 0.0001%]
[You have unlocked an innate power, The Sin of Wrath]
[Unlocking incomplete, intervening]
[INTERVENTION FAILED]
[INTERVENTION FAILED]
[INTERVENTION FAILED]
At that moment, Adriel's second face, which he didn't even know he had, woke up.
On the one hand, there was the kind and courageous leader, a king who guides his people forward.
A hero.
On the other hand, there was the madman will destroy everything that gets in his way, a king, but a king of war who destroys everything and whose only real concern is his own people and nothing else.
A devil.
They are both the same person, with only one conscience, but a person can change a lot depending on the situation.
Slowly, the dark smile was replaced by an ordinary smile, the normal Adriel was here again.
From now on, although Adriel has not changed, a new facet has emerged within him.
From now on, the hero will rule the light while the devil will rule the darkness.
The hero will do what he has always done, illuminate the way and shine the world with his light, guide his people and lead them to a more prosperous future.
When the situation requires it, the devil will come out and bar the world with his darkness, destroy the enemies and show them what it means to be more afraid of a man than of death itself.

After Adriel returned to normal, he wasted no time and continued with the summoning.
Awakening his dark side reminded him of a place he needed to go, but before that, he had things to attend to.
"I wonder he's going out this time," he murmured as he waited.
He didn't have to wait long, the last of the spirits appeared in the small room.
BOOM!
A thunderous gust of wind swept the whole place, sending Adriel back a few steps as his clothes and hair fluttered in the wind!
Air masses of all shapes and sizes appeared, filling the room with a thunderous wind, if it weren't for the Classroom being basically indestructible, the room would have collapsed!
When Adriel opened his eyes, he was faced with a spectacle of colors even brighter than earth spirits!
Winds of all colors, shapes and sizes were present, be it raging tornadoes destroying everything in their path, harmless-looking calm breezes, deadly vortexes ... everything you can imagine, here it will be.
Adriel wasted no time, he looked at the spirits for a while until he found one that suited him.
This spirit is not a raging tornado or a strong storm, it is a calm breeze, a gentle blast of air, the kind that can be found in the prairies on sunny days.
This spirit is light green and is a green wind ball that travels at a low speed.
He looks quite weak and fragile, but Adriel was drawn to him for a reason that he himself did not understand.
There were no issues regarding the spirit and the contract went smoothly.
This spirit has a gentle and calm personality, as expected of a spirit like this, his life is also similar to Orus and Ailine, he was born, met others like him, fought and survived until he was called here.
The power of this spirit is also quite unique in Adriel's opinion, using his winds, he can strengthen his allies and weaken his enemies, it is as if he were a support magician.
"I think we'll get along, Ventos."
With everything done, Adriel left.
