2 A knights punishment

Demons scattered as the angels dragged the defeated knights to the capital. "Sire we must fall back without the knights we are all but defeated" the demon kings advisor pleaded. The king was furious the demon knight captain his own son who was almost as powerful as him was defeated. Even if it was an arc angels to be defeated was an outrage. The king did not like the idea of fleeing like a dog with its tail between his legs, but there was no chance he could stand against Michael. " tsk, Very well have the rest of the guards set a surprise for our guests" the king remarked slyly with a bit of spite in his voice.

The king arose from his throne, and with that the rest of the guards rushed to carryout his majesties commands. The king and his Council left through the back exit and retreated from the coming bout. The angels approached the castles doors they pushed open. The angels were quickly blinded by a bright light. The kings guards moved as quickly as they could casting the most powerful magic they could. Before most of the angels could react they were shot down by a barrage of spells. Many angels fell but before the guards could retreat in a blink of an eye m dispatched all of them. "Now were that demon king I've heard of" Michael said annoyed. The angles entered the throne room, to no surprise it was empty the demon king had long fled. Michael looked disappointed for a moment before taking a seat on the demon kings throne. He ordered his angles to search for any more defiant demons and bring them to the dungeon. He then looked at Asmodeus with a scheming grin."I think I've taking a liking to you, its been a long time since I've had a good fight" Michael said grinning. "So instead of killing or locking you up, I have a better idea I'll banish you to the human world; do get stronger while your there" Michael explained maniacally.

Asmodeus was suddenly absorbed in a flash of light and disappeared from the throne room. Asmodeus suddenly woke up under a tree in the middle of a green hill side. He looked down to see that he wasn't wearing his ancient class armor he was before, he was wearing normal commoner cloths. He looked around for his sword or dagger but it was nowhere to be seen. "It looks as if I will have to rely on my own strength for a while" he thought to himself. Asmodeus got up and saw a dirt road "guess i'll go straight, if I follow this road I'm bound to run into a town" he thought. He walked for a couple of hours when it started to become dark so he decided to rest under a tree. Asmodeus started nod off when he suddenly a shriek broke the silence of night like a gunshot. Asmodeus stood up in a flash to see were the scream came from. Through the trees he could see a woman with a green dress and pointed ears running toward him. Asmodeus stared toward her out of curiosity she looked as if she saw a ghost. She ran past him before asmodeus could get a word out as four bandits in black masks stepped forward. The woman who seemed to be an elf hid behind asmodeus as another man stepped out of the shadows. This one wasn't wearing a mask a tall man with a scruffy beard grinding as he stepped towards asmodeus.

The man smiled as he said "look pall we not looking for a fight, so hand over the girl and you can leave unharmed". The other men in the group laughed as the woman started to cry. Asmodeus looked at the woman as he thought to himself *I don't know her I should just leave, but she might be useful.* Asmodeus looked back at the men still snickering and said "sorry no can do." The man put his hand on Asmodeuses shoulder as he said "look guy i…" before he could continue Asmodeus broke his hand and tossed him back. Asmodeuses eyes glowed a bright blood red as he walked forward to the bandits. Asmodeus dashed forward before the bandits could blink all but one of the four were a bloody mess. Asmodeus was covered in blood as he turned his head to look at the surviving bandit. The bandit was leaning against a tree in terror as the feeling he was about to rushed over him. Asmodeus looked at him his eyes still glowing blood red "run" he said in a low demonic voice. The bandit ran out of sight into the trees and the elf girl who had witnessed this took a sigh of relief.

Asmodeuses eyes went back to normal as he turned around to meet the gaze of the elf girl. "My name is Asmodeus, who might you be" he said introducing himself. The elf girl looked at him with confusion and a bit of fear. When she finally opened her mouth to speak "o-oh I'm Sylvia" she said stumbling over her words. Asmodeus reached his hand out to help Sylvia up as she hesitated to take his hand but decided to take his hand and he lifted her up. Asmodeus looked at the armor of the bandits he just killed *not bad it could be useful if I combined them with my combine and reforge crafting abilities* he thought to himself. Asmodeus gathered the chest plates,gauntlets, and shin plates. First he went to the the chest plates "COMBINE!" with a big flash of light the chest plates combined into one stacking their defenses points then he shouted "REFORGE!" and the chest plate reformed into something similar looking to his old armor. He repeated the process with the other garments till he had a completed set of armor.

Sylvia looked at Asmodeus in shock as this all happened, before her eyes sat black armor with red streaks on the edges. She looked back up at the grey demon with black vein like lines over his skin and slicked back blackish red hair with curved back black horns. She looked at Asmodeus with curiosity and a bit of fear and wondered *why did a demon save me*.
