His warm family

Ifrit's POV:

A day after Viktor came back home with the guardian of death…

'As expected of my summoner. He doesn't make friends with weaklings and his new family member is the demigod of death. Heheh…it's a good thing that fan twig left home as soon as he regained his consciousness.'

Ifrit mumbled while enjoying his cup of coffee somewhere around the house of Midas. Since he was the devil god of the underworld, and also the king of hell, he had to look for the reason why devils were coming to the mortal world. Both Ifrit and Adonis were ordered to capture Midas by their strength but for some reason, Adonis left on his own to look into the matter closely. 

Since Adonis was also a demigod, he had a sharp sense of tracking dark mana no matter how thin its presence is in the mortal world. It's like looking for a black horse in a group of white ones.

Ifrit and Adonis were together for 5 hours of their journey and then, Adonis split up to search for his own without telling him anything. So Ifrit was left alone in the busy streets of New York City. 

He took a sip of his coffee and again mumbled, 'Coffee of the mortal world tastes trash. Well, beggars can't be choosers. I have to bear with his humiliations until Viktor decides to travel to the realm of gods.'

A waiter at the cafe heard him talking trash about their first-class coffee and it made him feel annoyed. So he intentionally fell in front of him by throwing a whole class of ice-cold water at his expensive-looking shirt.

But who knew the water would simply evaporate the moment it touched his body? Ifrit frowned his eyebrows and said, "I know you did this on purpose. Don't expect me to pay you a tip."

The waiter was stunned to see that he was a hybrid and in the USA, hybrids are treated as national treasures. They are also the heroes of society. 

The waiter understood that he made a grave mistake and ran away from his workplace, leaving Ifrit alone in that crowd. He then paid for the coffee and left for the traces of devil-possessed people around the town.

Devils in hell are the souls of dead people and monsters. They don't have any physical body so in order to walk around in the mortal world, they need to possess a living being. It doesn't matter whether it is the body of a human or a bird.

After the possession, all the memories of that human are erased from their memories so the devil can control the body without any physical or mental interruption.

Moreover, it's important to have a body that doesn't have any mana. Because the dark mana and pure human mana can fight with each other, causing harm to the body or worse, internal organ explosion.

Midas, who found the girl had dark mana from birth, made her fall into deep love by his greed magic. He constantly made him summon devils on earth and made his army of devils take over the whole world. But a new problem arose then. He found out that the North family was in control of all the black markets around the world and their dominance was deeper than he expected. 

So he sent one wise devil to check on him and if possible, destroy the North family. As instructed, that man went all the way over to Seoul and luckily found Viktor in a park.

He approached him to have a chat by pretending to be drunk but who knew Adonis was going to tear apart his head with his bare hand?

Midas lost his connection with that man immediately and became annoyed. Since he was the greedy guardian, he couldn't help but hold back his anger. 

He rushed into the next plan and sent so many devils all over Asia and Europe. But who knew his hasty decision was going to start a new era of hybrids? 

His plan again failed and without even realising it, he became a prize set up by Viktor. There was a formal god, and a demigod hunting for his head.

Ifrit walked down the path and quickly took a left turn. He found a trace of dark mana around that area so he followed it and went inside an adult shop. 

Since devils are always drowned in lust, they tend to roam around the places where they can have easy access to satisfy their desire. They are mostly spotted in prostitutes, strip clubs and adult shops. 

Also, there are several cases where devils were spotted in the hospital morgue, cemetery, church, orphanage, and downtown where drugs are sold and rehabs. 

In just a night, Adonis and Ifrit killed more than 400 possessed persons all over the county and now, Ifrit was hunting in New York City. Nobody knows where Adonis went except for Viktor.

Ifrit then saw the shop owner freely watching p*rn on the desk. He was also eating his lunch but the lunch seems impossible for normal human beings to eat.  He was chewing on raw meat with tons of blood covering his face. He looked like a scavenger enjoying his hunt. 

He was a devil.

Ifrit then looked at the … toys and said, "How much for these?"

"Oh my.." The shop owner talked with his red meat inside his mouth and again said, "Are you a gay? A top or a bottom?"

Ifrit chuckled and answered, "A top. I enjoy being the top."

"My heavens… then, buy these for your bottom partner. I am sure he will be happy to wear these."

The owner showed him a handcuff and again said, "I hope you have a long night. These will be 400 dollars." 

Ifrit then said, "You don't usually have customers? The shop looks pretty empty."

"I don't know. You're the first customer of this week. I bet another will come in a week or month."

Ifrit's smile became a grin and then said, "That's great. I was hoping that I could have some fun. But since I don't have so much time on my hands, I will use these very quickly, on you."

The owner of that shop became a little confused. But what happened after that was nothing but the act of eroticism.

The shop became stained with blood just an hour after Ifrit went inside. He then wiped a small stain of blood from his lips and said, "Human flesh is very tasty. I finally understood why Adonis becomes a hyena when Viktor throws food at him. What a lovely master and slave relationship they have!"

He again said after checking the time, "I guess I will celebrate with Adonis for becoming a kin eater." 

…

Adonis' POV :

A cloud of smoke came out of his mouth while gazing at the endless lights of the city that reached the horizon. He then looked below after tapping on the cigarette butt to throw the excess ash to see his next target.  

The building was so high that his target looked like a tiny ant in the swarm of thousands of people walking on the streets.

He again inhaled on his nearly finished stick and exhaled after a couple of seconds by closing his eyes. 

His head began to spin. 

"So this is how master feels when he smokes one. I guess I'll start to ask for his handmade one's on my next payday." 

He threw the cigarette butt and then cast a small water spear that pointed downwards to the head of his target. He then mumbled, 'target no. 198,'

The small water spear immediately crushed into the target's skull and pierced all the way down out of his bottom. His blood started to spread all over the place and the crowd started to scream.

He then said, ", has been eliminated." After finishing his target he went hunting for his last target for the day before going back home. Because Viktor was waiting for him to have breakfast together.

Viktor's POV:

After looking after those two who were on their mission, he became pretty speechless when he read that Adonis smoked a cigarette. 

Even though he was a kin eater who enjoys human flesh, he hated the smell of cigarettes for some reason. Every time Viktor lit one, he used to cover his nose or held his breath until he was done. Also, he used to cast wind spells to drive all the bad air out of the room. But after doing this for so long, he decided to have one and surprisingly, he loved it.

 Because it was a great way to deal with tons of stress. 

Viktor then laughed and said, "I just became a bad influence on him. Well, it's not like our lungs don't heal. So, he'll be alright."

He looked outside and saw the sun shining bright in the morning. He was waiting for Adonis to come home so he could start eating. 

But a cup of tea was already accompanying him.

At that moment, Mors walked into his new greenhouse. He then took a seat beside him and said, "This mortal world isn't advanced as the one near the guardian realm. There aren't any floating islands here."

"That's because they were moved out of the earth by the gravitational pull of the moon. All of them are now asteroids or under the sea."

"Hasn't anyone discovered it yet? It isn't even that deep."

"Nope. The submarine can't reach the bottom yet. People think that the sea isn't that deep. I bet they will commit suicide if they saw the size of Speczira. The sea is deeper than science says." 

"Humm..? Humans on this planet are also weak. They won't be able to reach that depth yet. Anyway, when will Adonis come home? I asked Welis but it seems like she does not have any access to this information."

"That's because they aren't reliable and powerful enough to achieve what I want. They should be grateful that I'm merciful enough to keep them alive and safe under my protection." 

At that moment, Adonis teleported inside the greenhouse and said, "Good morning, master. Did you have a good night's sleep?"

"Yes, throw the formalities. Sit down and eat with us. The food is getting cold."

He then took off his overcoat and loosen his tie to have a warm breakfast with them. The meal was almost cold, but his surroundings were so warm that he didn't mind it at all.

He was living his best life with his kind master who waited for him to have his morning meal for hours.
