Chapter 3 : The Black Demon

It's early morning in the village and two boys were roaming in the forest to see their skill by hunting the boar.

Kevin sees on your left the boar is coming towards you, get ready to catch it.

The voice came from a far distance.

It's Bell.

Bell is the swordsman. He has been Kevin's best friend since childhood.

He was tracking down the boar from a distance. He altered Kevin.

Kevin started to chant his spells to attack the boar.

In this world, till you obtain your magical circle you can't release your full power. For that, you need some time to focus on your mana. You need to use chants to focus and release your power.

Kevin started his chanting and the boar came towards his direction and he attacked the boar with his thunder magic spell without any barrier or anyone's protection. He was able to focus his mana and chant the spell within a few seconds and he attacked the boar. Bell was surprised by seeing it!!!!!!.

Even if he just chanted the spell and for the beginners, they need to spend some time to get that much power. In Kevin's case, he just took a few seconds to chant and to use his power.

 It seems that today is our luckiest day and you will get the magic circle with the strongest ability in the ceremony Kevin and you can join in the  Royal Squad. Did you have any secret training with someone else or you can use any evil manuscript methods?.

No, it's anything, I can do it by nature.

You know about me. I won't do anything against the rule.

I am just practicing daily and I want to be a warlord. So I am trying my level best to do it.

Aarush asked Red,   "Did you find anything different from Kevin and Bell ". 

I don't know Aarush. Why are you asking me Aarush?

I don't know but whenever I see Kevin and Bell. I feel strange. But, I  don't know why.

Are you thinking, they are the ones who tried to kill you?

I can't tell for sure after meeting Kevin near the waterfall. I felt something different. But whenever I see both of them together. My body starts to feel strange and warns me not to get near them.

That's why you were following them for the past two days…

Are you telling me to be silent and wait for the killer to attack me once again?

The killer is just targeting Aarush, not you Roy.

Then who am I now, Red?  My soul is now just stuck inside this boy's body did you forget and I can't let anyone harm me.

So now you're ready to accept the reality. It's good to know.

I don't have any choice for now. That's why  I am ready for the journey. 

That is good news to hear from you.

Now we must get out of there, otherwise, you need to face both of them.

Yes, yes we can go now, but I need to see Bell's ability otherwise I can't face him.

You don't need to worry. You just need to focus on the training that I made for you.

Ok, ok let's move. Today is not my time, I think .ok I will see him next time.

Aarush was watching Kevin and Bell's ability but he couldn't find the ability for Bell alone.

Today is a big day for the village because today's ceremony is a big event for them and their children's future is going to change by the ceremony. The leaders gather all the children who were going to attend the ceremony.

Today's ceremony is a very big event don't forget and prove your best and make us proud of our village. Till today I kept you safe but from today's onward you must walk on your ways and save our nation and village from the dangers. I can tell for sure some of you would join the squad but the only one who has the ability will join in the Warlock or Warlord squad, so don't forget it and prove yourself.

Did you guys hear what I said to you all?

Yes, yes we heard what you said to us leader.

The participants gave their replies to the leader. 

Then everyone gets ready. We are moving out of the village to the Awakening ceremony place.

Let's get ready, Oliver. We are going to Grove with these kids.

Grove is the place where the ceremony takes place and it's near the Doom forest.

No one can't enter the forest without the permission of a Warlock or a Warlord. 

Bell asked, what would happen if we tried to enter the Doom forest leader? and how are we all going to go to the Grove without crossing the Doom forest?

You don't need to worry, every year while we are crossing the forest one of my friends who is trained with me, now he is a warlock, he helps us to teleport us to Grove.

Teleportation magic is high-tier level magic. If we master it, even a basic one, we can get a chance to apprentice to one Warlock and we can learn many things from them.

That's true Shell. 

Shell is a girl from a wealthy family in the village and their family has so many connections with Noble families. 

If you try to run to the Doom forest for yourself, you will be thrown out without hesitation. Even if you get killed no one can't stop it, even I can't help you out except for the Supremes. No one can't stop, don't try to run around here or don't make any fuss there.

Did you all listen to me?

Yes sir.

Everyone started to get excited. Because they saw a Warlock or a Warlord in their life. This is a lifetime opportunity for them. 

Aarush listened to everything that the leader said to them and he started to observe Kevin and Bell. They were trying to get out of line but they couldn't get out of line because the leader Charlotte and vice leader Oliver were watching everyone so carefully till the shadow demon came out.

Aarush asked Red, what is that Red? What is that black figure? 

It's the shadow demon. It is the low-class demon that hunts the people. It hunts only those who are low in mana. It looks like it killed more than thousands of people.

It seems this one is not ordinary and its power is at a high level, someone has sent it on purpose. 

Red, can you tell if someone is a nearby place controlling Black demons?

Yes, I will tell you as soon as I find someone nearby.

[Scanning the area for a hundred meters.]

I do not sense anyone near for now. If you want to catch them you can use your power.

It will even increase my power so I can scan these entire forests.

I can't use the power often and I don't want to show it in front of these people till I find the killer. I need to have a low profile and I need to track him and I don't want to attract more people. 

For that, I need to be silent and pretend to be weak in front of these people.

This is a good idea, but if you didn't find the killer what would you do? 

Have you ever watched a hunter hunt the tigers?

 He will wait for a long time in the place and first observe the tiger's nature from where it comes and go and wait for the good opportunity to kill and lay the traps. When the opportunity comes he won't miss even the single minute he will strike it with all the might he has. In that attempt, if he misses the target 

Then he will make sure to kill it on the next attempt and he will make good tactics and he waits for the next time.

Tiger will have a low profile and act like it has been injured but when the hunter makes even the slightest mistake he will die in the hands of that tiger.

Like that, if the killer comes to know I am alive he will come to kill me, and he will lay the traps to bring me to him. So I must get ready for everything.

Whether these black demons are his plan or someone plotting from behind to catch someone else I don't know, we need to find it soon otherwise we can save anyone.

Red, get ready and don't sleep at this time, be careful and warn me that the time the enemy or someone comes near to us. Scan this  place and tell me the safest place to hide in these woods 

Ok, let us get ready to fight Oliver. I will stand there and fight this black demon you stand behind me and send the children to a safe distance from and tell my friend about this situation and tell him to send the help. 

But as a vice leader of the Chester village, I can't wait and watch while you are getting attacked.

Don't be a fool Oliver, you know the situation better than me. If we delay even a second, it is dangerous to us and to these children who are going to carry on our future. 

He started to attack.

Oliver made the magical circle that will protect him and the children and keeps them in his vision .so he won't miss even the single one of them from his sight.

Children come and tell us to go this way.

While they were going, the black demon started to attack the leader Charlotte.

He took the sword from his back and he blocked the attacks of the black demon one by one. The black demon used its sharp end nails to attack the leader and he started to block it till everyone evacuated from the place. The black started to use its black burst to fire looking at the leader. The black demon started to burst the flame power by its mouth and the leader started to avoid it by jumping on her and thereby hiding behind the trees. 

While he is hiding in there. The demon started to create a large flame by collecting its power at its mouth 

While he was  watching it, he  used his blade and stricken the demon from its behind, the monster started to shout and miss launched the flame to the direction of the children and Oliver went and he was shocked for a while and the demon went in another direction to cure its wound  the leader went in the direction of flame thrown 

It was the big launch that was produced by the monster. Will the children all be alive?  

Did I didn't save them? Did I fail in my mission of protecting them? 

While he was moving in that direction, he had so many worries about the children.
