MC POV
The stare down between Rachel and Aaron was broken by Rachel asking "Why are you doing this Aaron weren't you the servant of the lucifer house for the past 2 decades does the relations and time you spent with us mean nothing to you."
Hearing this Aaron's smile got wider almost like his cheeks were cut and started laughing and said " What are you talking about Rachel none of that matters to me why should I care? We are devils we dont need to show sympathy love or any other feeling Devils are supposed to be evil treachery, betrayal and all other crimes are like our goal, So why are you surprised. Anyways your talk will not make any difference as the gap in power between me and you is to large."
After saying that he started releasing his aura which kept on rising it until it reached low ultimate class which shocked everyone present here as we knew that Rachel was only high class so the chances of us surviving were extremely low but even after seeing the gap in power between Aaron and herself Rachel didn't move or shake in fear or despair she kept standing strong and said " Melissa,Vanessa take the young lords to safety."
And suddenly from behind us Melissa and Vanessa came and lifted us and took us away from Rachel we were only able to see as Rachel and Aaron started their fight.
Rachel POV
I suddenly felt that something bad was about to happen and my instinct has helped me quite a few times in life threatening situations so I trusted my instinct and jumped back just a second later a spike of earth came out at the spot I was standing earlier. Looks like Aaron can use his telekinesis quite proficiently and he is also stronger than me the only way I have a chance of winning is that he underestimates me and I manage to kill by surprise.
I started to dematerialize to increase my speed and defence and moved towards him in my astral form but he seemed to have sensed me and moved aside looks like he can tell my position in this form too. I have no other notable abilities as their no one to posses and Aaron can't be possessed by me as he is stronger and he should have protected his mind as he knows about my ability. The only way left is to stay in my astral form and keep using devil magic to defeat him.
I started using devil magic and by imagining my attacks I was able to cast it instantly but Aaron simply dodged, Used telekinesis or overpowered my magic with his own.
Third Person POV
In the forest behind the lucifer castle some explosions can be seen going off as Rachel and Aaron fight while Melissa and Vanessa carry the twins and keep coming towards the castle but suddenly Cain spoke "Melissa take me back to Rachel she will die If she fights Aaron alone he is an ultimate class devil." But Melissa kept running and replied "No young lord Lady rachel ordered me to get you to safety and then come back."
Cain impatiently spoke "She will be long dead by the time you take us to the castle and come back take me back this is an order Melissa I have a plan trust me."
Melissa looked towards Vanessa while Rizevim also spoke" This an order from me too Vanessa take me back to the place the fight is happening."
Nodding towards each other Vanessa and Melissa turned around and started running towards the spot where the fight was going on.
I was not lying when I said I had a plan well it was relying on the ring Gerhard gave to me on my 1st birthday it could withstand the all out attack of an ultimate class being for a whole minute so I was betting that in that one minute Rachel could defeat or at least injure Aaron so that we can run back to the castle. After a few minutes we finally reached the place where the fight was going on and scene there shocked me Rachel was heavily injured with her white hair becoming red showing clear signs of several head injuries on hand was lying limp on the side while her breathing was laboured.
While not unscathed Aaron was undoubtedly in a better condition he had some injuries but nothing to serious and the creepy smile was still on his face. After reaching their I shouted to Rachel "Rachel fast come towards me." Rachel hearing that suddenly turned and started running towards me unlike Melissa who I had to order Rachel heard me and acted on it immediately this shows that she trusts me more than Melissa does.
While Aaron simply started walking towards us and spoke" Wow young lord is so eager to die that he came back looks like young lord is quite a moron that even after being so close to escaping you came back just to die."
By the time he had completed his villainous speech Rachel was already near and I started to tell her my plan but not before asking Melissa to put a simple barrier to not let Aaron hear about my plan. After the barrier was up I started to speak " Rachel just after the barrier breaks I will use the ring that Gerhard have to me and create another barrier and just as Aaron will keep attacking the barrier you should sneak out and deliver a decisive blow to him while he is focusing on the barrier as he cannot sense inside the barrier remember to hide your demonic signature once you get out of the barrier."
After hearing my plan Rachel simply nodded and started to hide her demonic signature and soon the barrier made by Melissa broke we all were surprised as it took this long for the barrier to break looks like Aaron is taking his time with us good for us this means he is underestimating us.
Just as the barrier broke Aaron Using his clan trait lifted earth made them into spikes and threw them at us and at that moment I pushed a little of my demonic energy in the ring and a gray colored barrier covered us and took the Earth spikes without having a scratch.Looking as his attack got hindered Aaron showed a surprised expression but his smile returned soon after and he spoke " So this the ring's power given by Lord Lucifuge looks like it was not a fancy ring but a protective barrier very nice but what about it's time limit surely an artifact like this will have a time limit after that what?"
Even if he was right we had another ring in Rizevim's finger so we had 2 minutes instead of 1 but as I turned towards Rizz i saw that his ring was dim like he already used his power fearing the worst i asked him " What happened to your ring Rizz."
And he replied "I used it when Aaron first threw me against the ground." Hearing that my blood ran cold now this means we only have one chance no second chance Rachel has already stepped outside and preparing to strike it's to late to call her as it would reveal her position so I can only bet that she manages to injure Aaron.
While looking at Aaron it seemed he knew what we were doing as he spoke suddenly stoping his
attacks on the barrier " Did you really think you a mere high class devil can escape my senses you fool and just then the barrier broke and I saw a horrifying scene Aaron had one of his hand passing through Rachel's stomach and she was about to die and she looked towards me and said weakly " Run".
And her eyes closed Aaron threw her away and looked towards me his smile getting abnormally large as he said " Why don't you run young lord."
I was not giving any attention to him as the moment Rachel closed her eyes and spoke towards me was repeating in front of my eyes and seeing Aaron smiling something snapped within me and the last thing I saw was Aaron getting to his knees due my demonic pressure and for the first time his face losing his smile and then getting inpaled by tens of spears made up of a darklight.
After this happened I suddenly woke up from my trance and ran towards Rachel to find her still breathing and looking towards me.
AN:- And a cliffhanger. The detailed description of Aaron's death will be given by another POV in the next chapter. Also Cain finally awakened his clan trait.
