12 A Battle for Survival!
At a Military Base Near the Immemorial Battle Forest!
Inside one of the monitoring rooms of the military base stood a flood of people. Neatly arranged in rows in front of computers, many logistical Demon military workers sat in their seats, doing their jobs with complete focus. The sounds of fingers tapping on keyboards echoed in the room.
In the middle of the room, two people stood. One of them is a tall male Demon with a terrifying mana pressure emitting from his body. His body was incredibly muscular and his face was completely focused.
The person next to him looked completely different. With white skin that didn't look sickly and he had a graceful thin frame with stylish green hair and green eyes with pointed ears. The duo stood in the middle of the room as several screens were running live footage in front of them.
"How do these Assassins know the Young Master's location?" The young boy, who is Killian, asked curiously.
"How else would they know Killian? Because I told them. I leaked some news that the Damon would be present in the Immemorial Battle Forest in hopes of drawing out some assassins." The tall male Demon, Karthus said,
"Mister Karthus, do you really think the Young Master can defeat these assassins? He is only recently awakened. And Young Master also has to worry about the various monsters in the forest." Killian asked.
"If anything goes wrong, we'll swoop into save him. However, if the son of those two monsters can't even overcome this, he doesn't deserve to be trained by me." Karthus said with a determined expression as he gazed fiercly at the screen.
Killian looking at this simply sighed and turned back, gazing at the screen and hoping his young master could overcome these challenges.

Damon looked at the assassins who had completely surrounded him. Damon could tell there was at least a dozen assassins, yet his face betrayed no emotions, as his face was completely void of any expression.
The assassins slowly crept up towards Damon, unsheathing their jet-black daggers as they moved closer and closer to him.
Damon silently opened his spacial storage in the Eternal Stoage Ring and leaked out some blood of the various Frost Wolfs and splashed the blood on the ground, hoping various beasts would smell the blood and arrive at the scene, giving him time to escape.
Damon did all of this while chanting inwardly.
"Γήινος Διχασμός." After Damon's inward chant completed, a powerful wall of earth charged forward out of nowhere, knocking back most of the assassins that had came from in front of Damon. Some of them managed to leap up onto the nearby trees to dodge Damon's attack.
~SWISH~
A flurry of swift but fierce dagger slashes struck venemously towards Damon's neck. Damon managed to just barely dodge the attack, but immediately another flurry of attacks stuck towards him. Simultaneously, Damon could feel the various assassins he had knocked away already back up onto the feet and moving towards him.
" Ενίσχυση σώματος." Damon chanted inwardly and felt his body being enhanced by his mana further than his natural bodies strength. Damon knew he needed to increase his speed to dodge all these attacks and sufficiently counterattack.
Damon jumped to the side, dodging another attack and hurriedly gripped onto the arm of an assassin, using that arm to block an incoming dagger attack.
~SHING~THUD~
The incoming dagger attack sliced fiercly through the assassins arm who Damon had grabbed onto and Damon released the now chopped off arm, sending it falling onto the floor. A torrent of blood poured out of the assassin's arm socket.
"A- AARGGG~!" A painful roar echoed out of the black-clothed assassin's mouth as his blood continued pouring out of his arm socket.
[ Infernal Chains ]
Damon said, stomping his foot onto the ground. A implosion of jet-black demon flames appeared where he stomped his foot, four chains made of the demon flames appeared and latched onto the armless assassin, dragging him towards Damon.
Damon gathered the flames in his palm and punched the assassin, his demon flames swarming all over the assassin and burning him to ash. Damon didn't stop however, quickly picking up the daggers that the assassin held and jumping to the side, dodging another attack.
Damon quickly spread his mana senses, noticing an attack coming in from his left side. The attack had a fierce amount of power and flashed towards him.
-CLANK!
"WHAT? How?"
The assassin who had attacked Damon exclaimed in surprise. To his shock, Damon had parried his strike quite easily.
"Grrrr!" The Assassin poured on his power and tried to crush and force Damon back, however Damon's expression was completely void of emotion as he was completely focused in.
"Not Elves or demons." Damon thought to himself. Damon could not sense any demonic aura from these beings at all and their bodies were much weaker than the average Demon's bodily strength for these assassin's Mana Realm.
However, although the assassin's bodies were weaker than Demon's, their bodies were noticably stronger than Elves. Damon had eliminated these two races specifically, as these races were known for their assassination ability.
"This can't be!" The assassin couldn't believe his eyes. He was using all of his strength yet couldn't push Damon back at all. Unknown to these assassin's, Damon's body was a complete anomaly. Not only was he a hybrid of the two physically strongest races in the world, Demon and Dragon. His bloodline was improved by the Bloodline Potion and his Mana technique also increased bodily strength. This made it so that Damon's body could battle against someone up to two mana realms higher.
Damon wasn't going to explain it to these assassins however.
[ Chains Of Corruption ]
Damon casted and flung out a jet-black tendril of darkness elemental magic that flashed and crashed into the assassin who was attacking him. The darkness elemental attack immediately immobilized the assassin and hurriedly spread to other assassins, immediately immobilizing them on contact as well.
[ Divine Combat Technique: Combat Style - Infernal Slash! ]
Damon said, a massive arching slash of deadly infernal flames shot towards the immobilized assassins. The flames immediately smashed into the assassins, devouring them in the flames and turning them to ash.
"A-AHHH!" The terrified screams of the assassins as they died echoed out, yet Damon had no time to think of this.
~CLANG~SLICE~
Damon turned around and clashed with one of the two remaining assassins, however he was unable to completely defend himself. A slash impaled itself in his leg, leaving him tumbling to one knee as the other assassin had snuck up onto him.
"Ha...Ha, Ugh." Damon breathed heavily and coughed, blood splashing onto the ground as he coughed up blood. Damon's blood began bleeding heavily out of his leg.
~CLANG~ Damon once again clashed with the enemy Assassin yet his instead of his leg which he was protecting, Damon's was stabbed in the stomach, blood beginning to pour out onto the ground.
" Παγωνιά Εκρηξη." Damon chanted in the draconic language. Unlike Demon racial spells such as [ Infernal Chains ] and [ Chains of Corruption ] and his Divine Combat Technique which could not use the bonus of Draconic Language, normal spells could.
An implosion of ice occurred and immediately covered the ground, spreading out hurriedly and colliding with the remaining assassins, freezing their feet.
" Ο θυμός του Archer. " Damon said and immediately a tyrannical amount of mana gathered in his palms. Damon knew he needed to end this fight quickly and unleashed all his power. A golden bow of pure light appeared in his hands and Damon fired the bow, releasing three long-range, wall-piercing blasts of light elemental power.
The blasts connected with the two remaining assassins, immediately killing them.
"Whew! Cough, Cough, Aghk." Damon said as he sat on the soft grass. Damon immediately pulled out three herbs from his Storage Ring that he had gathered previously.
Anastethic Pure Leaf, Eternal Willow Flower, Light Pyre Herb.
These Herbs all had individual uses, however, Damon crushed them hurriedly using mana until they were powder and splashed the power onto his various wounds received from the fights, most particularly his two biggest wounds on his stomach and leg. When these three herbs were crushed into powder and splashed on wounds, they would stem bleeding and increase natural regeneration rate.
~CLAP~CLAP~CLAP
Damon hurriedly turned around, spotting three ( 3 ) men and one ( 1 ) woman standing behind him. Unlike the previous assassins, Damon could see the races of these people.
The female was an Demi-Human, while the 3 men were two humans and a Demi-Human. However, Damon could notice something about all of them, something very special and VERY DEADLY.
" Abyssal Contractors." Damon said as he looked at them. Abyssal Contractors were various people who had allied with the Abyss. These people would sell their souls to the Abyss in a contract in order to obtain immense power and increased potential. However, all Abyssal Contractors are meant to be killed on sight.
"Nice sense. As expected of the son of those two monsters, you could immediately sense what we are. Doesn't matter however, as you'll die." The lady said, her humongous assets shaking as she walked closer towards Damon.
Damon slowly began getting up, however, before the Abyssal Contractors could attack Damon, an incident occurred.
"RAWWRRRR!"
A terrifying roar echoed across the entire surrounding area, sending an earthquake in the area as everyone looked to the left. Two ( 2 ) gigantic Lions covered in golden flames charged towards the Devil Contractors, who were shocked at the surprising change in the situation.
Damon immediately took this opportunity to run away, thanking himself for planting that blood that lured this monster here.
"DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!" The lady roared, and the various men tried to run off, only to be held back by the Golden Flamed Lions, cursing as Damon got away.
" Αόρατο." Damon casted softly, his body getting harder to see as he flashed through the forest, looking for a place to rest. Damon dashed faster and faster through the forest, hearing the screams and roars at the battle behind him took place.
~FLASH~FLASH~
Damon saw some flashed of light far in front of him, recognizing it as a nearby military base and running off, knowing it would take a while before he got there.
Damon got on his journey!
