Chapter 62: Too Pure To Be A Demon

As Mackenzie stood at the center, several people were looking to Nathan and Sloane for confirmation. Because, for starters, Mackenzie was only nine and had lived most of her life as a human. She also just got a new body so, everyone was worried about her.

Priya summoned a doll and after Mackenzie touched it, it shrank down to her size.

"Aren't you worried?" Nathan asked

"Nope. Kenzie's just going to dance" Sloane said

As soon as the doll started moving and tried to hurt Mackenzie, the little girl started to hum a tune. The first move from the doll was a punch to the side, which had missed greatly as Mackenzie slid to the side and twirled towards the doll before slamming her elbow on it. She moved the doll slightly to the side and then, swept the doll off its feet....literally. She actually set her leg in the right position to trip the doll. The doll fell and hit its head on a nearby stone. Mackenzie stopped humming and looked at the doll on the floor before smiling.

"I win" she said happily

"Am I....seeing things?" Jerald asked

"Nope. She just...beat the doll by dancing" Allen said a bit confused

"Allow me to explain" Priya said "According to this screen, the fighting style that Mackenzie used is called 'Hell dance to the music of death'. And it is a dance practiced by lycans. It's the best way to fight without people knowing what you are....thinking"

"I never knew about that" Mackenzie said "I just saw my family doing it one day and copied them"

'That's really cute' Rosco thought and as Mackenzie moved away from the center with her doll bag, Nathan replaced her 'Now, to meet the monster'

"I wonder what form the doll will take...." Dante said as a doll appeared in front of Nathan "....after all, you have a lot of enemies"

"Does it even matter?" Nathan frowned as he touched the doll and it lit up. The light was brighter than any other doll but when the light faded, it looked normal.

"That's surprising, it didn't change" Dante said but then, the doll was envelope by a thick black mist

When the mist faded, what was left, was like something out from a horror movie.

Out from the back of the doll, several tentacles stretched out and moved as it pleased. From the sides of the doll's head, two upturned horns stuck out from the doll's long black hair. The arms of the doll were replaced by slimy webbed arms with fins at the sides, and claws for hands. It's lower body was replaced with that of a snake.

The doll's eyes and mouth were still shut and there were black veins running across its body. There were no clothes on the doll other than a stole which was attached to a tight black tube top.

It was clear that the doll had turned into an unrecognizable female beast about the age of a woman in her thirties. The doll opened its eyes and only darkness could be seen. Soon at the center of the darkness, there was a blue hue and as it opened its mouth, razor sharp teeth could be seen as the sides of its mouth opened towards its ears.

"What is hell is that thing?" Jerald shouted

"Must you always be the hysterical one?" Rosco asked

"I believe it's a normal reaction" Clark said

"Same here" everyone else agreed

"Didn't mum kill this woman?" Cassandra asked as her hand rubbed against her neck on reflex

"I thought the same thing" Natasha said

"Nope. This woman is very much alive" Lilith said

"She's the one that kept attacking our campsites and trying to kill us all" Timothy said

"Worst of all...." Dante said "...It says here that she's Josey's mother" he said and everyone looked at Josey

"But it's not surprising... considering the fact that Josey's a weapon that the current King Alpha was working on" Rielle added before before looking at what Priya had passed on to her "The name of this woman is Barbados. And she was once a friend of Queen Rebecca. But, during the civil war, Barbados tried to kill off the southern tribe and forced Rebecca to fight a death battle. Barbados lost and Rebecca burnt off her head"

"But she's still alive" Nathan said "She's working with the northern tribe, and has the powers of a demon general. Even if she's to fight me on my level, I'd lose"

"So you're not fighting the doll?" Dante asked and Nathan nodded "I can understand" he said and the doll turned into a bag which Nathan carried and walked back to his seat

"Who's next?" Rielle asked after writing down Nathan's level

"I'm only going to touch the doll but I won't fight it" Allen said after Nathan sat down

"Then you have no reason to even stand up" Dante said as the next doll that appeared, was immediately teleported to Allen as a bag

"All of the arrogant princes all saying they won't fight. At least be a man and admit you either can't fight, or you don't want to disgrace your royal selves by being beaten by a doll. Or simply admit that you can't defeat the doll" Tory scoffed and folded her arms

"I'll have a go" Josey said while standing at the center. A doll appeared in front of her and she placed her hand on it.

It lit up just as bright as Nathan's and as the light started to dim, the figure started to change until all that was left was a handsome man standing in the center.

He looked like a man in his thirties with white hair sitting on top on his head, a neatly trimmed beard, and sapphire blue eyes. The doll had turned into an exact replica of Sloane's uncle, the current king alpha, Leon Michelle.

Josey's heart was beating loudly in her chest; it was clear to everyone that she wasn't expecting the doll to turn into this. Dante himself was surprised when he saw it but then, he noticed the doll seemed to be staring at something..... or someone.

Dante's line of sight followed that of the doll's until it noticed it was looking at Sloane.

"Rielle, can the doll look at someone it's after if it's after the person's life?" Dante asked in a whisper

"Well, it's not supposed to have strong emotions enough to do that" Rielle said "Take the other dolls instead...they didn't attack who didn't give them their form. Even the dolls that knew the others didn't look at them....just the person who....." her voice faded as she noticed the doll looking at Sloane. She immediately turned to her side and noticed the screen in front of Priya had turned orange.

Sloane noticed the doll looking at her and her body involuntarily shook. She instantly grabbed her head

"Who are you?" Sloane mumbled and the whites of the dolls eyes turned black as it raised up it hand

"Fuck it" Dante said as he instantly got up and stretched his hand out and a pure black swiss saber appeared in his hand. He raised his hand up, and swung the sword down before putting it away.

"Well, I wasn't expecting to be dealt with so quickly" the doll said "This isn't my real body but just a possession. It was expected it would be destroyed. I can't wait to see you in the real world....Sloane" it added as it crumbled to dust

"I can't believe one of the dolls got possessed" Rielle said while everyone else remained silent

To their surprise, Sloane neither said anything, nor had a deadpan look on her face. She seemed calmer than anyone else. Unknown to everyone else, her mind was in turmoil and she was just remaining patient so she could ask questions when her mind was calmer.

"It seems like Leon's powers have also gotten to the rank of demon general" Dante said with a frown as he returned back to his seat "Maybe they've gone even higher and are about to reach the level of a prince of hell" he looked at Sloane before looking away "Let's just continue as normal"

Dante said blankly as Christian raised up his hand "Yeah?"

"After what just happened, can you just register me as level one and give me the stupid training doll?" Christian asked and a doll bag appeared on his laps "Thanks"

"Sloane" Dante said and she looked up "You're the last. Are you fighting.... or-" before he could even finish, Sloane was already standing in the center

"I'll try" Sloane said as a doll appeared in front of her

"I wonder what it'll turn into" Jerald whispered to Allen

"It won't turn neither would it lit up" Nathan said just as Sloane was about to place her hand on it

"And how do you know that?" Allen asked

"Because....." Nathan started as Sloane placed her hand on the doll but nothing happened. It didn't light up and didn't transform "....our dear queen is too pure to be considered a demon"
