Chapter 5 [Succubus]

"Shit! Have they figured out my plans?!"

In a certain port area of the big apple, Astrea who was trying to do her daily "information gathering" was now currently being hunted down like a criminal with a bounty on his/her head by some angels that somehow guessed where her current whereabouts were and catch her off guard when she was at her weakest- when she had just used quite a bit of magic whilst she was using her detection spell on her "investigation" on how to get back to her lord: Lucifer.

"Looks like what the "Prince" briefed us with was quite useful when it comes to hunting down this lowly demon." One angel stated, already having a arrow light ready to be shot at their target.

"Indeed, That's the "Prince" for you!" Another replied, also having an arrow light already ready to be shot.

They were the angels that were under command of Archangel Michael- the "Prince."

"Dammit! How'd they figure out my whereabouts!? This is ridiculous!" Astrea was in a real life-or-death situation at that moment, with her only choice was to get away from the duo as fast as possible to get some time to think of a plan of escape.

With her armor now being back on her slim-looking body, she was dashing and jumping as fast as her body would let her.

From the rooftop of the building nearby by, to the roofs of the vehicles that pass by the nearby highway...

"If I can just get away from these pests somehow... This really isn't the time for me to be in the middle of combat- now that I'm in the middle of collecting today's share of negative energy..." She thought, as she started to feel like she was starting to feel weak.

Slowly... She started to feel that her posession of her "Vessel" getting unstable to her control of the said mortal body being slowly weakened by lack of power to maintain both simultaneously.

The two servants of god immediately took notice this quick turn of events and started to get closer and closer to her current location as her own speed slowly decreased.

"Not so tough now, are you?" one of the angels said, approaching their target after making sure that Astrea did not show any sign of fighting back at all.

Unbeknownst to the duo, the body of the human that Astrea had been occupying had already started to emanate a dark aura as the posession over the body slowly wore off which was a clear sign that Astrea had now completely lost control of it.

Astrea's body slowly materialised, horns and all from the dark aura that had escaped the "host" moments ago.

"Now I've done it... This is just great, now they'll probably interrogate me or finish me off right here and now... And if not, Milord himself would kill me personally..." were the last words that her mind had thought of as her consciousness slowly faded away.

The shock of not having her magic replenished after it was used up till she had the need to replenish it had taken quite the toll on her body.

"Ok, you report to the "Prince" while I try and see if I can wake our "friend" up to see if I can get some information out of her."

"Yes, Brother. Right away." The other angel took of to the sky once again, now having the mission completed.

"Now, talk, you demon!" A thunderous voice came from the left behind angel as he tried to wake the female demon up using with merely just using his voice.

Bzzzzzzzt!

An eletrical-sounding buzz started to be heard from behind him, knowing that it might be an ambush, he quickly turned around...

"Oh? Do you think that was enough to let me have you restrain or interrogate her~?"

There was a portal that had suddenly appeared in front of him and it didn't look holy as far as he knew nor was it created by his lord- God.

It was sinister in appearance, and looked like a huge tornado that was made of fire.

A figure of a woman with horns and a pointed tail slowly appeared through the said flame-nado as it's flame got more larger.

"What do you want... Demon?" He inquired, attempting to not look fazed after seeing a portal that what seemed to be one that was created by one of the realm's denizens.

"Hmm~? What's wrong, boy~? Haven't You seen a succubus before~?" The female figure spoke up upon hearing the angel's question, her physical form slowly taking shape as the flames started to die down little by little, before being absorbed into her palm like oxygen being sucked out into the vacuum of space.

"Oh? Looks like you knocked out my friend..." The succubus stated, noticing Astrea's body just laying on the concrete behind the angel, seemingly lifeless.

"So what if it was me?"

"Oh? So you admit it then?" the Succubus holds out her hand which makes a dagger that had a blade made of a mysterious metal to materialize, it's appearance resembled a blade that a certain "angel of death" wields.

"Ya know, I was going to leave you alone for the time being... But considering you were the one at fault here..." A wicked surfaces from the demon, the dagger's blade suddenly started to glow crimson..

It was now thirsting for the blood of the angel in front of it.

"Like that duplicate of yours would actually work on us angels." The angel retorted, realizing that the succubus' weapon wasn't the real deal, but a mere copy of a weapon that she had seen somewhere prior to the present time.

The succubus' grin grew wider as she heard the statement that the angel had made, drawing closer... and closer as the blade's light got more intense.

"Well, it is a "copy" to you but... I replicated it in so much detail that it actually works like the real thing.

The "Angel of Death" even almost killed me while I was trying to figure out how that "weapon" worked and how I'd replicate it and make it work like I was actually wielding his and not a mere "copy." " The succubus shrugged as she finished her explanation, still with the blade in one of her hands.

"Stop bluffing, demon. It's impossible for your kind to be able to replicate or use our weapons."
