*************

As Yuki entered the restaurant that overlooked Maou's location, he tried to do his best to not draw the attention of the fallen angel and the archpriest… But no matter how much he tried, his appearance just kept screaming 'I'm here' and the people inside quickly noticed him and started looking at the kid that looked like a walking Halloween outfit and started whispering among themselves as the shop suddenly begin to have a tense atmosphere like a cowboy movie…

This caused some negative emotions to start building up inside the shop which startled Lucifer who was focusing all his attention on his ex-lord prompting him to look at what was going on for so many negative emotions to fall on his lap without even doing anything… After all, he and Olba worked hard, doing many robberies and assaulting many people to generate and collect negative emotions for Lucifer, which is why he had enough mana to attack Maou and Emilia.

Lucifer appeared as a skinny boy in his late teens with long dark purple hair that is longer than average with a long fringe and several strands that reach just past his shoulders. His eyes are violet and he was wearing a casual white short-sleeved top with light purple sleeves along with black trousers rolled up at the bottom and a pair of blue and white converses. He was also wearing two purple piercings on each ear. This fallen angel really had the charm of a devil...

'What's going on?' Thought lucifer as he observed the room with his sharp narrowed eyes until they finally landed on a skinny boy with disheveled long white hair and green sunken eyes that were filled with blood vessels and dark marks around them who seemed to be garnering the attention of every person in the restaurant for better or for worse... And currently, Lucifer noticed that he was trying to give his order to the nervous waitress, but she kept shaking to write it down which ended up being a picture on her notebook instead of words prompting her to write it again multiple times after the boy went to take a seat until she got it right…

Lucifer observed how he seemed to stop in the middle of the restaurant eerily as the tense atmosphere kept building more and more around him before his bloodshot eyes landed on him and Olba who was still oblivious to all of this with his attention taken completely by the hero Emilia, and Lucifer could swear he saw an ominous light in those eerie eyes, a type of vengeance and hatred that was flowing from the deepest part of the boy's soul.

But it quickly disappeared which made Lucifer think that he might be only imagining things… After all, he never met this boy before neither here nor in Ente Isla so he decided to ignore him and started absorbing the negative emotions in the air to refill his mana reserves which made Olba finally notice what was going on too…

"Hmm? Where did these negative emotions come from?" Questioned Olba, surprised by the quickly increasing Mana reserves of the fallen angel in front of him…

Olba was an old bald man with gray eyebrows and a gray thick mustache that covered just the top of his lips and he had beady eyes that spelled I'm a sneaky person… he was wearing a traditional Japanese kimono which Yuki guessed that it was simply the magic robe he usually wears but was transformed by some kind of magic, and right now he was also observing the ominous boy in the middle of the restaurant which seemed to be the cause of all the negative emotions…

"I don't know, but I wish we found this boy before, we wouldn't be forced to do all those robberies to collect negative emotions" Replied Lucifer with a shrug as he finished absorbing all the negative emotions and turned his attention to Maou who became flustered when he suddenly saw Emilia and Ashiya entering the coffee shop.

"You are right, but maybe it's not too late" Replied Olba with a scary glint in his eyes, clearly implying that he had a bad plan to use this boy if they got the chance and Lucifer smiled back evilly as he replied "Of course it's not…"

------

Meanwhile, as those two were already having a plan to use Yuki in the future to collect negative emotions by just dumping him in a crowded area and letting him do his magic… Yuki on the other hand after ordering a bowl of ramen, checked the restaurant for any empty seats and he noticed that only the table behind and after the two idiots that made his life miserable the past few days was empty

'It seems like I'm not the only one whose appearance screams stay away from me, that bastard Olba looks like a proud predator… damn that look he gave me is disgusting with him not trying to hide his intentions at all, I need to be careful in the future around him' Thought Yuki before he moved and sat behind them which brought a chill to the two of them and Lucifer who was sitting opposite of Olba couldn't help but turn around and he noticed Yuki playing with a knife and looking at the back of Olba's head with his eyes flickering in contemplation, and he felt like Yuki's hand was about to slip at any moment and add a new mouth in the back of Olba's head…

And he was right because Yuki's hand was very prone to slipping, especially when someone provokes him and threatens his life…

And as if he was awakened from a trance, Yuki suddenly noticed Lucifer's staring at him and he shot him a 'gentle' smile and nodded at him as if everything was normal and he didn't have a crazy look just a few moments ago, this was the gentleness he learned from his neighbors…

Lucifer felt that he might lose his partner in crime at any moment so he decided to keep an eye on the boy that reminded him of a certain shameless demon general just in case as he observed the situation with Maou and Chiho…

Meanwhile, after Yuki received his bowl of ramen and started enjoying his food, he finally noticed that Maou and Chiho who was about to confess her love for him were interrupted by Emilia…

He could see that Chiho was misunderstanding Emilia's relationship with Maou and they started arguing but this was his signal that the situation was about to go south at any moment so he quickly gulped down the rest of his ramen so that it doesn't go to waste and took out his phone and started recording the two in front of him secretly, but especially Lucifer since he was most likely the one that's going to initiate the attack thanks to his ability to recover his Mana in this manaless world…

And just as the argument reached its peak, an evil glint flashed through Lucifer's eyes as he said "It's time we begin the hunt" as he slowly raised his hand and Yuki noticed that it was covered with a brownish hue causing his eyes to widen 'How beautiful… HOW FUCKING DANGEROUS'

"That's right, the world doesn't need a hero or a demon lord anymore" replied Olba with a similar glint in his eyes and Yuki made sure to record all of this secretly using his phone even though all of his instincts started screaming at him telling him to leave this area as fast as possible… but he had to witness this so he immediately went into full alert mode as he noticed that brown hue leaving Lucifer's arm and slowly landing on the floor of the restaurant before it disappeared without a trace.

Nothing happened at first, but Yuki understood that this was simply the calm before the storm and he was correct because 2 seconds later, the ground started shaking slightly before it turned into a strong tremble and then it directly become a full-blown catastrophe as he could barely stand from the intense vibrations and he saw the ceiling started falling down all around him with the only safe place being where the two bastards in front of him were standing…

But he knew he couldn't approach them or he would end up getting kidnapped so he leaped away from his table and he witnessed a huge part of the ceiling falling down and crushing it, but this wasn't all as more and more stones fell around him until one hit him right on the back pinning him on the flour…

'Is this the end?' thought Yuki as his mind slowed down the events happening around him and he saw the crushed bodies all over the place and the screams of horror and fear entered his ears and the only thing he could do was to hold the phone closer to his chest to protect the evidence… 'Well, it seems like I'm meeting you sooner than I thought, Karma…'

And then his vision went black, leaving him unaware of the notifications that just appeared in front of him

[Chain Quest: Eye of the storm]

[Quest Task 1: Gather evidence of the perpetrators, Lucifer and Olba while they are in the act (Completed)]

[Additional rewards shall be granted to the host for fulfilling such a highly dangerous task with his weak body and without the ability to use any skills to protect himself]

[Accept rewards: Yes/No]

Unfortunately, Yuki was in no condition to accept the reward as he lost consciousness and his life was nearing its end as more rubble was falling all around him, and just as a huge stone was about to land on his head and completely crush him. An ancient voice suddenly resonated in his head bringing peace to his anxious soul and warming his heart as it said 'Yes accept…'

The moment the voice said so, two new notifications appeared

[Detecting foreign power interfering...]

[Checking for authority...]

[Highest authority discovered! Request accepted]

[Congratulation host: you received reward: Magic awakening, and additional reward Magical core forming]

[Beginning magic awakening…]

[Error no mana found in the area…]

[Starting the search for energies that could be converted into mana…]

[Found faith energy and negative energy…]

[Starting absorption and conversion process…]

[Conversion completed, Host magic awakening shall be done with light and dark mana….]

A white and dark aura suddenly enveloped Yuki inside a cocoon and protected him from any falling rubble including the one that was about to crush his head...

After a few seconds…

The cocoon cracked revealing Yuki inside it sleeping peacefully before the crumbled cocoon transformed into mana and entered in the middle of his forehead for some unknown purpose…

[Magic awakening completed…]

[Starting Magic core-forming…]

Again, a huge amount of white and black Mana was absorbed, this time inside of Yuki's lower abdomen until a black and white round stone formed inside almost looking like a yin yang symbol…

[Magic core-forming completed]

[Congratulations host on gaining the legendary balanced magic core]

[Congratulations host can now learn and cast magic from both the Dark and light categories]

[Congratulations host can now use both faith and negative emotions to restore his magic]

*****

A few minutes later after Yuki's epic transformation that went unnoticed by everyone and the earthquake finally subsided. Chiho and Emilia suddenly woke up from the rubble and looked at the devastation surrounding them in shock as Chiho suddenly got teary when she didn't find Maou and said "Maou-san where are you?"

Originally, Emilia would come and comfort Chiho at this moment and they would reconcile their previous differences, but at this moment looking at the devastation around her, she could only mutter "Yuki…" a surprising fear suddenly started blooming inside her heart…
