Wind Devil, Chris.

Looking down upon the the kid spoke,

"What are you doing to him?"

Menacingly he slowly descended, gracefully landed in front of Ariel ignoring Xaviin.

"Connor is that you!" He asked.

Ariel looked him in the face, her eyes rolling like a chameleon lizard.

"{Notice: Appraisal failed, un able to verify the identity, initiating the elimination!}" Ariel said as her appraisal failed, channeling more holy magic then before.

" Hold up, it's expected you can't recognize me looking like this!" Said the wind devil, his menacing aura is nowhere to be found.

Clap! Claping his hand, cursed magic radiate from him.

"Now, you should be able to tell right? Connor it's me please remember! It's been a long lonely 200 years!" Almost pleading as he awaited the response.

"{Notice: Appraisal finished successfully!}"

"{Notice: Identifying the soul, the sound...

Finish the sentence, you like eating...} "

"What do you expect me to reply? Chicken nuggets?" The wind devil replied, jokingly.

"{Notice: Identity confirmed, Chris. Connor your asking for can't reply for the moment!"

Chris was perplexed with what Ariel just said. For him this look exactly like the Connor he remembers but, he sound like a woman and is saying that he can't respond.

As Chris was sorting his thoughts out Xaviin was having his own complex moment. The wind devil, also known as the Tempest Lord have appeared out of nowhere, claiming to know the new hero. This is proving to be extremely problematic as if this two joined forces he will take a massive hit!

Getting the wind devil on his side might be hard but it's a doable bet, this what he thought.

"Wind Devil!" He called.

Slightly turning around Chris responded.

"Can't you see I'm busy her? Bloody hell, read the mood will ya?"

At that moment Ariel spoke.

"{Notice: Connor's soul have been sealed by that undead named Xaviin and is in a critical condition, time is against us!}"

As he heard that, the air around him changed, filling with curses.

With such a presence everyone felt sick except Ariel and Xaviin, Anger and malice, the true aura of devil swelled from within him.

I finally reunited with someone I know, and you intend to take him?

"You predecessor took my family away from me and now you intend to rob me from my old friend?"

As he said that his voice got deeper, a chilling breeze shrouded the area.

[Combined Magic: Eldritch Domain]

In an instant everyone got pushed back the entire troop, Alice, Vanessa, all of them leaving only Ariel and Xaviin.

" If you were alive you'll be suffocating right now!" Chris said.

"You should be still be able to breath though!" He told Ariel.

Without warning, Xaviin launched multiple death balls at the two.

"Perish, it shall not end here!" Xaviin yell's at them.

Chris flew away at a tremendous speed, and with an abnormal acceleration, to the point that he broke the sound barrier the moment he started moving!

Ariel on the other hand didn't bother flying she just teleport away, effectively evading all attacks.

[Devil Wind Magic: Air Javelin] Chris conjured multiple Javelins by compressing the air, he then hurled them at Xaviin with unimaginable speed. Following that Ariel turned the ground underneath him to mud trapping the him.

Seeing the situation he is in, Xaviin finally accepted that he is losing, the appearance of the wind devil wasn't expected, neither was the existence of an angel inside the Hero.

As his plans fell apart, Xaviin released what was left of his necrotic magic, to go into a final stand with the intent of dealing as much permanent damage as possible.

His clothes, jewelry, magic items, even his stall, all burnt in an unholy fire of necrotic mana, Xaviin unleashed his final form.

A skeletal being burning in a never-ending death magic, a bringer of death.

[Necrotic Magic: Last spark]

"Contradiction, life and death never meet! Yet in front of me a contradictory event is unfolding! An angel and a devil, working together to take me down!" Xaviin started.

"Then you shouldn't have put your hands on us! I'm pretty sure if have just ignored him Connor would have forgotten you even existed, he is sometimes just that dense!" Chris said to Xaviin.

"Ignored him? He was the one to interfere with my plans!" Xaviin said.

"Is that true? I'm pretty sure Connor wouldn't do that, intentionally." Chris then turned toward Ariel.

"Is what this numb skull saying true?" Chris asked.

"{Notice: some of it is true, we were the ones to unknowingly obstruct some of his plans, but after that we were intending to move on! Even I would chosed to stay of trouble for Connor safety.}" Ariel replied.

" Then we can stop fighting right? We're just exhausting each other and have caused enough collateral damage!" Chris said, trying to find an easy was to get Xaviin to release the seal on Connor's soul.

" {Notice: The hero's wish, Connor's, is the complete destruction of Xaviin, the annihilation of his existence! As the first angel serving him, It's my duty to carry judgment and rain divine punishment on those who disobey!}" Ariel stated, the holy mana dripping from her like an endless stream of pure devotion.

" There no reasoning with that thing, angels are fanatic, hard-headed hypocrites, they only listen to their God's and care of no one else. Extremely opinionated only their God can change their mind, lastly as they pretend to follow good and justice they only care if it benefits their God. You can't reason with them!" Xaviin said.

" I know, all what you said is true, dealing with a devil is easier then dealing with an angel in this world!" Chris replied.

" Then why not... " Before Xaviin could finish Chris interrupt him.

" Why would I care? I'm helping my buddy, my mate, he might be right or wrong, I don't give a sh*t! If he is in a fight, I'm also throwing hands by his side! Anyway, did you do to piss him off?" Chris asked at the end with a genuine interest.

"{Notice: He killed his wife, smashed her upper body between two rocks!}" Ariel said bluntly.

...

Chris froze in place as he was possessing what he's just heard.

Connor has a wife? When and who?

It doesn't matter now, if what she says is right there's no going back!

Chris slowly put him palm on his face, Cursed mana started to gather at an increasing rate.

For a moment Ariel thought Chris was about to explode from how much mana gathered.

The ground started burn without fire, the Sky was blocked with an endless darkness sending waves of cursed mana throughout the world.

In other places of the world...

In the depth of the ocean, a bulky man with a magnificent trident is swimming behind orcas hunting them before he felt the waves of cursed mana.

Stopping in his tracks, he said.

"Is this the eleventh? It's been a long time, hope don't repeat the same mistakes!" he looked into the distant with a smile.

... In a far away land, at the highest tree in the Elvish capital, their king was sitting on his throne, listening to his attendance complaints about how the herald is actually successful in his peace talk with the dark elves.

He stood up at looked to the closest window, with a smile.

"Unfortunate yet blessed child, may yours spear be as sharp as a sword! May you never miss-aiming!" He said as he gave a Sligh bow of respect.

His attendance made a confused face.

... In the throne room of the demon castle, a demonic abomination, is sitting on the metalic thron. As the tentacles of his face moved he spoke. With an evil grin on his face.

" As pure as I remember it, those curses are sharper then any claws, he seems to have found another unfortunate prey! Ah ouch!" he got slapped in the face by a woman that was standing behind him.

"Honey, remember that you can't be like that!"

"Sorry..." He apologized.

"I can't have any thoughts of violence or evil, that was what we agreed to. But I told you to warn not slap me!! "

"Oh please, as if you actually felt that, I know better than anyone!"

"You're right, I guess more practice is needed for me!" he said with a gentle voice.

... Far far away, inside a volcano that is located in a deserted island. In the never ending cavern, all the eyes can see is gold, jewelry, ancient treasures, enough to blind the eyes. On top of all of that, a little girl with crimson red hair is laying. Surrounded by multiple women massaging her hands and feet. In front of her some of the women are singing, dancing, fighting. Desperately trying to amuse the little girl.

With a bored face, she sighs. The slightest signs of dissatisfaction are enough to Send terror in the women serving her.

She felt the pulse of cursed mana. Her interest shifted toward it.

She stood up, stepping on the woman that was massaging her feet. The little girl's nails dug deep into the woman neck and chest, despite that the woman took it in silence.

"Ho! That brat is finally getting serious, it's been a couple decades since he did!" The little girl said in an energetic voice.

At that moment she realized that something squishy is underneath her feet.

She looked down, and looked at the woman in the eyes.

" This seems interesting, I never killed someone like this before! Dragging my nails from their neck down to their belly!" The little girl said.

"What do you think?" She aske the woman she is stepping on.

"Inferno-sama... if it to you amusement... please use me as you wish!" The replied in a pained voice.

Inferno, the first ranked Lord, also called The Lord Of Fire, she grined for the first time in years.

"You red dragons are supposed to be proud creatures? Even if I was the strongest red dragon, you're still supposed to challenge me occasionally right?" Inferno asked.

"With your strength, no one dare challenge you!" another woman who was standing close replied to her.

For a moment, Inferno glance at her. The woman disappeared, leaving only a slight hint of ash.

"Why did you have to speak without being asked? See now you're ashes"

The bored expression returned to her face as she lifted her feet of the woman who then busted into flames. After a moment all her wounds are healed.

Inferno layed back again.

"All of you red dragons here but can't withstand my aura, are you really this weak or I just got too strong?"

Inferno looked at the woman she was just stepping on.

"What do you think? Speak your mind and don't dare lie!" She ordered.

The woman took a deep breath before speaking.

"I hate you, every one here shares the same feelings, but in the end we can't reach you! As it hurts our pride we are to you, like ants to us!"

"then if you had the strength, what will you do?" Inferno asked again.

After a brief stop, the woman was about to reply.

Inferno made a displeased face.

"I believe I just said to be honest, you were about to lie. Don't worry, you infuriate me more by lying!"

The woman gulped down as she settled her resolve.

"If I had the strength I will make sure you never feel the relief of death! That's for stepping on me!" she said with an angry face.

"hoo! As I expected!" Inferno clapped for her.

She then pretend to remembered something, it was so obvious she wasn't even trying.

"You're free to go, you're services are no longer needed. I won't kill you, you managed to entertain me so this is your reward!" Inferno said. And lifted her finger before pointing down.

"Don't forget to take your blood with you, it got stuck on my feet when I stepped on you, clean it off!" she said with an evil grin.

The woman understood her situation, Inferno didn't stand because the cursed pulse released by the wind devil, she stood because of her.

As she was massaging her feet, that thought crossed her mind and Inferno managed to read it somehow.

"You knew from the start!" the woman said.

"Of course, now hurry and clean it off!" Inferno extended her feet toward the woman.

As she doesn't have the power to fight back, the woman kneeled down in front Inferno about to start.

"Now I will ask you questions before you start, can you answer them right?" Inferno asked.

"What now, ask what you want!" the woman replied.

"What do you think of the curse wave before? Can you take him on?" Inferno asked.

"That thing is compatible with life, I might lose but not without taking him down with me!" the woman replied.

Inferno replied, "Good girl! Believe me when I say, your better serving me here than picking a fight with him!"

This took some time, the woman had to thoroughly clean Inferno's feet a couple of times. Each time she finish Inferno tells her to do it again.

At last, the woman finished. Inferno told her that's its enough.

The woman turned to head out, Inferno have given her word before to set her free once she's finished.

"Wait!" Inferno called to her. The woman stopped and turned back.

"Come closer!" inferno said.

The woman got as close to Inferno as she could.

"If you're leaving we might never meet again so I won't let it stuck in your heart!" Inferno said.

As the thought about what might she be meaning, Inferno did something inexpected.

Without warning, Inferno slashed her own head and handed it to her. Another head instantly grew from her neck.

The woman froze in shock and fear, confusion was eminent.

"WA.. Wa.. Wa.. What are you doing?!?!?" the woman screamed.

"You said you wanted to kill me, here I died once for you!" Inferno replied with a deep voice that doesn't match her look.

"Don't you have any shame? Doing this on your own?!" the woman asked, puzzled at the sight of a red dragon who just do that.

"I do, but when you live as long as me those emotions and feelings... They become like spices... Giving taste to the boring life... Following my own whims is my way to feel alive! Rather than just sticking to the red dragon's pride of never losing" Inferno replied.

The woman thought, Inferno is crazy, she lived far too long, got too strong, to the point of losing her taste of life, fighting is no longer fun, she has all the treasures she might need. Everyone obey her commands without questioning.

...

Back to Chris, his Mask has just started to form.

From condensed air a three horned devil mask covered his face.
