Chapter 49

Jin walked into the training hall and stopped right at the middle, he turned around and faced the children and folded his arms into each other.

"The first person to hit me" he said calmly with his head bowed "Let it all out, your angers, your fear, the hatred and pains, let it all out on me and don't hold back"

Maze sniffed and without thinking twice dashed forward, attacking in a frenzy, throwing punches at Jin who skillfully dodged the blows, moving back swiftly while Maze continued his attack, giving no breathing space.

Michell joined in the rush, yelling as she threw her punches alongside Maze at Jin. Jin moved around dodging the punches, passing in between them skillfully, like he knew their movement even before they made it.

Amen also dashed forward, and joined the punch barrage, each trying to land a hit at Jin, with anger burning in them.

After hours of throwing punches, and meeting with the air, Maze fell to the ground, drops of sweat rushing down bus face to the ground, his body fully soaked.

Michell followed suit, willingly allowing herself to collapse to the ground. Amen bent down, panting loudly.

"After an hour, none of you could successfully make a hit" Jin said and walked out.

The three all kept mute, with various thoughts running through their minds, it was Amen who spoke first.

"I am sorry" Amen said in remorse and fell to his knees.

Jin smiled from where he hid himself and listened as the children made resolve among themselves.

"It worked, Dan has some strange method of pulling people get along'

"We should have let you know, you had every right to know, but what now, we don't have enough energy house to move to the outer realm and Lilith is saying she can go there but it's beyond her since she only operates in this realm and hell" Amen said calmly.

"It might be tougher than we thought " Michell chipped in

"I believe in you both" Maze said and where he laid and sighed.

"Argh, alright witch let's go this and rupture that space dimension" Amen said, grunting as he stood to his feet.

Lord Supreme stood at the peak of the mountain in the village, a spot he always visited whenever he was troubled, he looked at the entire landscape of Pearl Village from where he stood and sighed, trying to imagine how horrible it would become if nothing was done to curb the threat that was greater than them.

"How would Kareem handle the thought of his daughter bring killed, everything just keeps getting messier " He thought within himself and rubbed his palms together, moved them towards his mouth and breathed into it.

"You and Kareem are still attached to this spot? " Julius asked from behind and got closer to Lord Supreme.

"The options laid down before us are tough ones, the top grade hunters are all dead, except you and Jin, the junior hunters lack experience, except for Dan's team" Lord Supreme said calmly.

They both looked up at same time and turned to look at themselves

"Do you also feel that? " Julius asked

"Yes, the children opened it" Lord Supreme said and leaped down the mountain.

Amen grinned, trying to get a hold of himself, the portal right before them was barely wide enough to let a grown adult into it, Michell on the other hand, held tight to Amen's right hand, while she also stretched out her free hand forward, trying to sustain the portal.

"Almost there, try making it bigger " Lord Supreme said hoping to dash right into it immediately there was enough space.

Seeing this, Maze looked around, sure no one was paying attention to him, he dashed forward and dived into the portal.

"Mazeee!! " Jin shouted and dived in after him, folding his body so he could get into the portal unhurt.

Bith Amen and Michell suddenly collapsed to the ground, exhausted and out of energy house.

Maze fell hard to the ground, from above, the next seconds Jin also landed on his feet and pulled Maze up

"What we're you thinking? " Jin asked.

"There, that's the tree" Maze pointed forward, brewing with anger "And that's Maze in it" he grunted and was about dashing forward, immediately Jin pulled him back.

"There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, since both of us are the only one here, initially you've disrupted the initial plan, and we have to restrategize, that guy did a major blow on your father, he is not to be taking lightly " Jin said and let go off Maze cloth.

"So, what now? "

Chapter 48

Otto walked into the room, where Jemima was kept, hypnotised and barely conscious. Jemima floated in mid air, Otto grabbed her by the leg and pulled her along as he walked out of the room. Outside the ship, in the out world, which was vast and with red sun barely illuminating the entire planet.

A dead tree stood distance away from the ship, barely standing upright. Otto pulled Jemima along as he walked out of the ship, descended to the ground, still pulling Jemima along by the leg in mid air.

"Finally what we lost will be brought back, the power we sought will be ours" Otto said as he walked closer to the tree.

Maze suddenly crashed into the training hall, sighting Amen first, he dashed at him, with full rage, he sent a resounding punch at Amen, the punch graced Amen's face.

CRACCCCKKK!! the blow crushed Amen's jaw and sent him flying off.

"Hey, Maze " Michell shouted in surprise.

Maze turned to face her and picked up speed, dashing at her. Knowing it was trouble, Michell placed her hand on the ground and turned into Lord Supreme

"Trust me that trick won't save you from tasting the fury in me" Maze shouted as he leaped into the air.

Michell in Lord Supreme's form, stretched out her hands
"Perfect illusion" she said hoping the technique would get hold of Maze.

"All I see are the things I wished for, a perfect family, but that illusion trick won't work on me" Maze shouted and grabbed Michell by the neck, flipped her backward and smashed her head straight into the ground.

Maze screamed out loudly, growling hard and painfully.

"Tell me why you kept it from me, you knew about Jemima and you kept it from me!! " Maze shouted dashed at Amen, scrapped him off his feet and rammed a punch through his stomach in mid air.

"Speakkkkk!! " Maze shouted and dashed at Michell. He appeared before her, disappeared and appeared at her back, held her by the air and smacked her back into the ground.

"ENOOUUUGHHH" lord Supreme shouted "Paralysis technique " Lord Supreme said, making Maze immediately go numb, paralyzed all over

"How did he expect us to say such, hey Maze your sister will be the demon we would be killing next, we couldn't tell anyone" Michell said, her left eye swollen and almost closed up, with bruises all over her face.

"This is a situation we should tackle together and you kept it from everyone, both of you? " Lord Supreme shouted in annoyance.

"Hey, Old man, we need to confirm things first, don't act all righteous, first you crushed our confidence, took us off the tournament and banned us for two years and you expect us to confide in you, when you couldn't even trust us when we said our part of what happened, you degraded us to please a total stranger " Amen shouted in annoyance and flared up.

"You don't speak to me in such manner!! " Lord Supreme shouted and suddenly appeared before Amen.

"Or what, you're going to crush me? Go ahead" Amen shouted.

"Hey, Amen, follow me" Jin said from where he stood next to the door.

Amen starred at his father angrily before turning around to leave with Jin.

"And you two " Jin said to Michell and Maze.

Otto placed Jemima in between the tree and split his right palm, he folded his palm as blood dripped down his palm, he made the blood drip on Jemima's mouth and slowly the tree began to come alive, vines began to grow out and slowly began to wrap around Jemima, sucking out the life form in her and gradually began to grow pale and thin.

Chapter 47

Dan walked in Lord Supreme who was deep in thought, sitting next to Kareem's bed where he laid unconscious, wraps of white cloth wrapped all over his body, covering his face completely.

"Brother" Dan said and patted Lord Supreme on the shoulder.

Lord Supreme slowly raised his head and sighed.

"You're lost in thought again"

"Yeah, I am, even before the fight Kareem was engaged in, he told me he was scares, I have never heard him say so or lack confidence, first time Kareem lost confidence, Kareem is bolder than any one of us look at his current state, what do you think will happen to any one of us" Lord Supreme said with tears alley dripping down his face.

Dan gulped loudly, it was at that moment he knew the mess they were all in

"Jemima is gone, we are surely on the loosing end, the ship is gone, Emmy, what do we do? " Dan asked and starred at unconscious Kareem

"Right now we are depending on Jin and Amen, if they don't find a way, then it's all lost"

North Demon laughed out loudly, her voice echoed through the huge cave, she finally settled and slurped before talking.

"So Kareem couldn't out up a decent fight after all " She said and began pacing around from one end to another.

"It is glaring whose side we should be on already" South Demon replied and let out a bright smile.

"Can you get us access to the outworld, that is the only place they could be, to keep everything on track " North demon said, stopped pacing and looked at South Demon

"Ehehe, let's move out, but we don't have a price to present, they are gods and they really don't need our assistance, we might end up becoming their errand slaves" North demon said in low voice.

"No, they are the last of the second tier god, they have billion of armies, and they surely need more experienced hands to give out the orders, at this point, Lord Supreme and Kareem are just pawns"

Maze dashed through the woods, running as fast as hid legs could carry him, on his right hand, an arrow end with ancient writing on it, he knew what he was holding, an ancient relic, which had come from nowhere to hit him on the head.

"Slow down you bloody elf, I knew you weren't extinct, you're too smart to be" Maze shouted as he dashed through the woods, chasing the white figure that disappeared and appeared in the distance.

Maze locked his palms together as he dashed forward

"From my calculations, it keeps disappearing and appearing third seconds into the distance from the previous point, I'm three minutes behind, if I could just double up my speed, one minute further, my ice sealing technique should be able to catch up" Maze said.

Maze leaped on the tree before him, leaping from it to another and slowly covering the distance since he moved faster on trees than he did on ground.

"There you are, Water Scynth 14th form, ice sealing technique "

Maze shot out water from thumbs, which we locked together, pointing forward.

Before the white blur could disappear, the ice box caught up with it, quickly sealed around it and dropped to the ground.

"Easy, you all keep showing faces, keeping track of what is going on here, but never offer help" Maze said aa he ran towards the ice seal.

Getting closer, Maze gasped at the sight before him, inside the ice was a white skin human, with white long hairs and pointed ears.

"Release" Maze said and instantly the ice melted "Do you wish to talk, or I should help you do that"

"You people never cease to amaze us" the elf said as it stood up, standing at almost same height as Maze.

"You're a lady, no wonder I caught you easily " Maze said and pointed his water sword at her neck.

"Maybe, I heard Kareem got defeated and I heard to come see for myself, we depend on him" the elf said and turned around.

Maze made his sword disperse and tagged behind her

"You elves have always been on hiding, the dwarves only heaven knows who others are hiding from humans" Maze said.

"We never hid, we were to powerful for humans to cope with so we had to move into another dimension, even though we walked the earth first" the elf replied Maze and titled her head backward to look at him.

"But you still depend on Kareem"

"Your father is a god not human, if he dies or becomes useless, we will be forced to fight against the threat, demons also moved to another dimension, having their own civilization, their currency, and use humans as animals"

"Well, nothing surprises me anymore " Maze replied

"But your demon sister has to die, if we need to win, the second tier gods aren't the main problem here, but your sister, her kidnapping will bring out her full potential, her powers will drive her mad and she'll become the demon we never wanted, your demon sister has to die "

Maze grabbed the elf girl by the neck and raised her up in the air, brewing with anger, he made a spear forge out from his left hand and pointed it at the girl's neck.

"Where did those trash come out from? " Maze asked

The girl suddenly was out of Maze grip, standing on the brand of the tree before Maze.

"You caught me because I wanted you to, your sister will bring back the demon order, if you don't believe me, ask Amen, he knows, ask the witch, she knows, those two can tap into the future and see what happens, the demon threat we've once experienced is just a tip of an iceberg, Jemima will return the greatest demon order of all, alright take care, I hope you find the strength to kill her, or else I will do that for you" the elf girl said and vanished into thine air.

Maze at this point became confuse, brewing with anger, he turned towards Peale Village and dashed off.

Chapter 46

Kareem suddenly woke up from his sleep, quickly, he picked himself up and smacked his head against the roof of the Hut, he was in. He muttered inaudible words, as he lowered his back and walked outside.

The horrible vibration that shook the entire dwarf village, repeated constantly.

"I think there are here for the girl" Majid said, as he ran closer to Kareem

"Amen, can you transport me outside of here?, we can't bring the fight here " Kareem said and stared at Amen.

"Sure" Amen said and locked his palms together taking the front lead.

"After this, take Majid and his fighters back to Pearl, Jemima stays here with Michell, you and Maze should go along to Pearl" Kareem said as Amen began to move his hands in circular oath, creating a black hole before Kareem.

"I'll see you guys" Kareem said and ran into the portal.

"Alright, everyone you heard the man, let's move it " Maid shouted and banged his axes together.

***

Kareem stepped out of the portal, which immediately closed up behind him, his sword on his right hand, Kareem smiled and pointed the sword at the man with the red gem on his head standing afar of.

"Do you really want to do this?" Kareem asked and slashed the sword, immediately changing his face expression.

"A lowlife God like you wouldn't understand what hierarchy of power truly means, to be above the chain " Otto said and pulled out the gem on his forehead and swallowed it.

"I won't take the risk of underestimating you, this is the last remnant of the divine tree in me, kept only for this purpose " Otto said as pink wavy lines began to emit out from his body.

"Like a beast was asleep within him all these while, tch " Kareem said beneath his breathe.

Otto suddenly appeared before Kareem and sent a upper cut, straight at Kareem's jaw, the blow graced Kareem's jaw, and sent him into the air, before Kareem could react to the first punch, another one graced his stomach.

While Kareem was still in mid air, Otto grabbed his by the neck and smacked him deep into the ground. Kareem groaned in pain as blood flew out from his mouth. Otto grabbed Kareem's sword and threw it distance away.

"Weakling" Otto said as he raised Kareem up by the neck.

"You cheated " Kareem said and smiled, exposing his blood filled mouth.

"Says who? We are gods, and that is a source of our power, unlike your own creature of gods whose power is determined by white hairs and how pure it is" Otto said and moved his free hand backward in mid air, made a fist and suddenly, with preciseness and accuracy rammed it into Kareem's chest.

CRACCKKK!!! kareemKareem could hear his bones crack.

Kareem rolled roughly continuously on the ground, smashing from one rock to another, with each hit, peeling off a reasonable amount of his flesh.

"Huhhnn" Kareem muttered and coughed out blood in large amount, his face battered and filled with blood and bruises.

Otto walked through the dark endless hall way and halted, he raised his head up and chuckled.

"Good job Otto, your efficiency has never being doubted, your brother will be so proud of you" a voice said from nowhere in particular.

"We have the girl, we don't need any interference, project the ship to the outworld, till the tree has been cultivated and my brother, the Grand God shall return"

Asiseeit:
Thanks for the update.
A quick (funny/irrelevant) question @devilpen,

how does one pronounce the "Tch" sound the characters make? Is it similar to the hiss some people make before they talk?

More like CHI or more of reluctance to talk or answer a question

Chapter 45

Kareem and the kids, were led by the dwarves to the dwarf Lord, seated on his throne, with his beards fully touching the ground, even from the height he sat from, well above three feet above ground level. Two guards on both sides, each wielding an axe, with their firm hands.

"We knew our existence wouldn't be hidden for long" The dwarf Lord said and relaxed his back on the throne. "What brings you here?"

"We need your help" Kareem said humbly.

"Tchh, who knew he was thia humble " Amen said within himself and scoffed.

"Really, is it about the top tier gods, if yes, we can't help because we value our privacy" The dwarf lord said and placed his hands on his stomach with a smudgy look on his face.

"Your privacy doesn't even matter at this point, once the world above is destroyed, it won't take long for yours to be discovered, if we could find with no stress " Kareem replied.

"Yeah yeah, we know, but at least humans deserve whatever that befalls them, we were hated so much, we became slaves, we were used as Hunger Games and used for hunting pleasure, used as baits and looked down upon" the lord said and dropped down from his seat, standing at the first edge of the stairs before him.

"Do you need help, the next step I'd actually taller than you are" Kareem said.

Amen suddenly went into an uproar of laughter, unable to control himself, Michell on the other hand managed to hold it her laughter, while Maze and Jemima wore a serious look.

"Humans will never change, from body shaming, to looking down on others, nothing matters as long as it benefits them, leave here now " the lord said with annoyance.

"Make me leave dwarf" Kareem said slowly and mockingly.

The furious lord, stretched out both of his hands, and swiftly two axes with lightning around them appeared on both hands, taking a step further, the dwarf lord missed his steps and tumbled, rolling off the stairs.

"Thuink, thuink, thuink... " Kareem said loudly as the Lord bounced off from one step to another till her finally reached ground.

Amen let out another round of laughter this time uncontrollably for the rest.

"Here" Kareem grunted as he pulled the Dwarf Lord up "We shall take our leave, just for the record, the only way to preserve your existence is to join forces with us and I don't need to tell you much, seems you have a way kg gathering your informations from above " Kareem said and turn around "Let's get out of here "

"Wait" the dwarf lord said and muttered something inaudible.

"We will join you, only because you're a god and there was the god with blur hairs that brought we dwarves here, he saved us all, made a new world for us and we owe his kind, we can never repay our debt no matter how hard we try, my forces are with you " The dwarve lord said "I'm Majid the fifth"

"Tchh, Raven actually did something meaningful in his life, rest on brother" Kareem thought within himself as tears dropped down freely from his eyes.

"What's wrong with him all of a sudde?" Maze thought and sighed.

"Do gods cry? " Majid asked sarcastically.

"Are you aware that my tears could drown you?" Kareem asked and smiled, he turned around, knelt down and stretched his hand forward.

Majid sighed as he grabbed Kareem's hand firmly.

"Thank you" Kareem said and smiled.

Lord Supreme walked into the cave entrance of the remaining two top tier demons, welcomed by total silence, he continued further into the cave, walking fast but yet with caution.

"Why are you here, we won't offer the help you seek " a feminine voice said.

"Well I can just leave and Kareem would come to talk with you guys" Lord Supreme replied calmly.

"Is that a threat? "

"I'm sure you know I'm serious " Lord Supreme replied and noticed presences appear behind him.

He turned around and was facing south and north demons both taking their human form.

"We need your help " Lord Supreme said Cali and stared at them both.

"And what makes you think we can help, or we are useful? " South demon asked and stuck out her slimy tongue.

"A threat I'd here already, and it will scare no one, we are not in any bargaining mode, the only bargain here is you could live longer, When this threat or if this threat takes over this earth, then everything you know or cherish dies" Lord Supreme said.

"And what makes you think we have anything to lose? " North demon asked and took a step forward.

"I know you protect your lineage from the shadows, you witness your sixth generation and have always being their guardian, that is the only reason why Kareem kept you alive and you, even though you're a demon, you still help innocent people, taking lives of those who cause pains and male others miserable, that's why Kareem seems you fit of living " Lord Supreme said and smiled

"Tch, what's the plan? " North Demon asked and smiled wickedly.

Chapter 44

Jin opened the door that led into Lord Supreme's office, bleeding on the right arm, with a slash mark running down his right cheek. He walked on gallantly on Julius, Lord Supreme and Dan and took turns to look at everyone of them.

"It's worse than we thought" Jin said and wiped off the trailing blood on his face, flickering the stains on the wall.

"You've never come back with a mark on your spy missions " Julius said with a bit fright expressed on his face.

"They have an army of billions, Julius, five set of billions, all five elements, the ship itself is a living being fueled by enormous unending power house" Jin said and gulped

"What else did you see? " Dan asked calmly.

"I found a library archive, of ancient language, according the the image I saw in one of the huge books, White haired gods, foresaw this day, and decided to help humans, they infiltrated the top tier gods realm, and destroyed their source of power, the Divine Tree, which drastically dropped the top tier god rankings in power and strength "

"Even with the drastic dropping, we still don't match up to them" Julius said.

"As revenge for that, they killed every single soul of the white haired gods, and Kareem is just one little pawn, Jemima is that seed, she is the key to all this" Jin said.

"From hunting demons to this, are we to blame all this on Kareem or what, the decision keeps getting harder to conclude" Julius said and sighed.

Jin sat down on the ground, leaning hid back on the wall, he shut his eyes tight and coughed slightly.

"Even after getting Jemima, they won't retreat, tell will lay waste to us, annihilate our total existence, declare war against the first tier gods, if they win, they rule the universe as they see pleased " Jin added still closing his eyes.

"Jin, the other one" Julius said starring at Lord Supreme.

"What again?" Dan asked stretching his hand as forward.

"Demons, we didn't get them all, there are still thousands of them, evolved, smarter, wiser, hiding on plain sight, this time killing their victims slowly, painlessly, spanning within two weeks, even months, and somehow they've found a way to curb their smelling aura" Jin said slowly.

Lord Supreme got lost of words, all he could do was stare at everyone, his mind finding it hard to process his next words.

The top tier god with the red stone on the center of his head, walked out from his personal chamber in the ship, to his aides were walls plated with dark breathing metals, that would move around constantly. He stood before the wall and slowly it cane apart, allowing access to the next part if the ship, what looked like an endless dark walkway.

"Otto, I heard there was intruder" a dark voice said from nowhere in particular.

"Yes my Lord, unfortunately we could not kill him " Otto replied, and folded his hands at his back.

"Hmm, once you secure the girl, we can finally bring back the grand lord to life, retrieve her as quiet as possible, what they expect is a full scale attack, I want you personally to handle this, bring the girl alive "

"And the boy? "

"He is of no use for now, get the girl, the boy comes next "

The Earth Below

Kareem stood speechless at the sight before him, marvelled at the very different existence he saw, green land below earth, clouds and sun, everything the upper existence had, even better, hobbit buildings visible from the distance, the view before them was what could be called extraordinary. HR looked up from the height they had dropped down, how they were still standing in one piece was another mystery on its own.

"A whole different work, beneath the earth, what else is possible in this world? " Michell muttered.

"Be careful of dwarves, they have mastery over magic of various forms and above all tricky, those minute creatures, with beards like mop, thick arms, hard to fight with and kill, they keep rolling under you, very annoying creatures" Kareem said, noticing movements behind them

Chapter 43

Kareem, pulled Michell by the collar of her shirt, raising her up from the edge of the cliff, while Maze and Amen effortlessly climbed on the mountain.

"Do you have to bring all of us along? " Amen asked as he struggled to get on the mountain.

"You are my students, and I brought you four on purpose" Kareem replied and spread out the scroll with him, looking at the map.

"Day 5, seems we are here already " Kareem said and pointed to the map "According to this map, we should be standing right above the dwarves " Kareem said looking around.

"We are long way away from home, we can't return empty handed " Jemima muttered

"Hey, witch, you saw what was above, look down and see what is beneath" Kareem said to Michell and walked closer to her.

"It isn't as simple as that, it drains me" Michell said with her head down.

Kareem suddenly grabbed her by the hair and forced her to her knees, making sure her eyes were fixed to the ground.

"I don't care if it kills you, summon those eyes out and see beneath" Kareem shouted at the top of his voice

"Dad!! " Maze shouted and pushed Kareem off Michell.

Maze helped Michell to her feet and gently smooth her hairs, trailing it gently and focused next on his father.

"What has gotten into you?" Maze asked walking closer to Kareem.

"You all have to go beyond your present skill, if you keep up like this, you all will die, I have seen great men die, men with better resolve" Kareem shouted in annoyance.

"We've survived, working as a team" Amen said

"Tell me, when you see your loved ones die, will you still depend on a weak team, you all are ranked the worst demon hunters in the whole of Pearl, no mission success rate, only troubles, tell me what do a bunch of mischief stand to gain, the personal beings living in you can't even stand toe to toe with me " Kareem shouted at Amen.

Lilith suddenly raised up her head, from her realm on hearing what Kareem said and became furious, her eyes began to let out blood and slowly she stood up, and began to descend down her throne.

"Master, let me out" Lilith said as she slowly began to descend.

"Spatial Expansion " Amen muttered and locked his palms together, making a portal before him.

Lilith walked out of the portal before Amen, standing at a whooping Twelve feet, surprising to Amen who had only thought her to be seven feet.

Kareem let out a soft gasp, as he raised his head to look at Lilith who was bleeding from her eyes and took few steps backward.

"She's huge" he muttered, but not for one second moved by her height or the power that oozed out from her.

"This is the monster Amen has in him" Michell muttered and gulped down spit from her throat.

"Do you still think my master is weak? " Lilith asked with her voice reechoing.

"Would you like to find out? " Kareem asked and stretched his hand, summoning Maze sword to himself. "Even without this, you're no match for me" Kareem said walked closer.

"Guys, I hear something, foot steps approaching " Michell said placing her hand on the ground "The dwarves "

Chapter 42

Lord Supreme walked into his house, visibly angry, he pulled off his shoe and slowly walked into the living room exhausted and fell flat to the ground, breathing heavily.

"You fought with Kareem again? " Kate said from the kitchen and heaved.

,"I need to beat some sense into him"

"And how did that go? "

Lord Supreme turned around facing the ceiling and closed his eyes tightly.

"Didn't go well, Fanada had to ignore me"

Kate cleaned her hands and walked out of the kitchen, got closer to her husband and sat next to him

"You both have different definition of protection, and Kareem has the best, it makes sense to let the children know what they are really up against and carry them along, a working plan is all you need, trust Kareem on this"

Lord Supreme sat himself up and starred at his wife and spoke.

"Kareem is reckless, he was the reason my dad had to die untimely, always acting without thinking, if he didn't go after the Growling gate gang,my dad wouldn't have risked his life and end up saving Kareem" Lord Supreme said and continued "I don't want things repeating themselves"

"Kareem cant forgive himself either, I guess that is why he needs the children to be strong, he was weak then, just understand things from his view "

The door suddenly came open and Kareem and the kids walked in, alongside Dan.

"Your attention is needed " Dan said panting

***

Dan, Kareem, Julius and Lord Supreme all stood side by side far away from Pearl Village, each one of them prepared for what was to come.

A green light suddenly appeared in a straight form from the sky and next a man with pale skin appeared on the ground, still under the green light, the light immediately faded, revealing fully a white skin man, with no cloth on him, yet he didn't seem to be naked. His ears were made of hole directly on the side of his head.

"Greetings weaklings " the man said, with pride in his voice.

"Greetings to you, baaassssstaaarrrd" Kareem muttered "There is no lie, we are weaklings, even I as a god can't match this power that is off chart and this is just a messenger " Kareem thought within himself.

"I am a messenger of the Second Tier gods of the Universe" the man said, gesturing with his hands and continued "We have something which is ours but in your possession, It will be......, "

WHHHAAAAACCCKKKKK

hid head suddenly rolled off his body with Kareem standing behind him, his sword raised in the air.

"You talk too much, even for someone with so much power talking too much puts you off guard" Kareem said and scoffed.

Kareem suddenly dived to the right and rolled on his back, and next he was standing next to Lord Supreme. Another pale looking man with a red stone at the center of his head, appeared at Kareem's former position, weidling a spear on both hands.

"You're a lower specie of god, but that doesn't mean we should take you lightly, I thought your entire race was wiped out"

"That's the mistake you be paying for before you lay your hands on the divine tree" Kareem muttered.

"So you know what we are after, we are yet to arrive, when we do, in a month time, your daughter and son should be made available, either way, we are raking them, dead or alive" the man said and was taken up by the green light which beamed around him from above.

"Kareem, save your anger for when they return, we've proved our point, we are not to be taken lightly, we still have the dwarves and the remaining top demons to persuade " Lord Supreme said.

"Leave them to me, I and the kids will set out tomorrow " Kareem said and slash his sword in the air.

Chapter 41

"The Chase guy, he would do, I'll invite him over and we plan this out, we never expected this demon war to have such repercussions "

"Hmm, about that, Julius sent a message, we have less than a month before our biggest fear arrives" Kareem said and gulped.

Kate pulled Mama Nana closer by the collar and smacked her a loud slap on the face which immediately led her ear to burst out blood.

"You messed with the wrong girls " Kate shouted as the hunters dragged her off away from Mama Nana who was been returned back to prison.


Amen grunted as he summoned out three of his clones irritated by the state of the slum, muddy waters, dirt, malnourished children and adult alike, littered all over.

"We shouldn't be doing this, there are inferior team like team twenty, those children are bunch of losers, they should be the one cleaning the slum" Amen shouted angrily.

"But they still have 60 percent rate mission success" Michell said as she dipped the wooden rake with her into thick muddy gutter

"And us? " Amen replied.

"We have no mission success rate" Michell replied sarcastically.

"You're joking right, we infiltrated the demon hideout "

"That was Kareem" Michell replied.

"Come to think of it, we haven't done any mission solely on our own, either we help the grownup or we are helped, the only thing we know how to do is getting into trouble " Maze chipoed in from where he and Jemima stood rounding up the first.

"And he is the one always running us into trouble" Jemima chipped in.

"Heaven knows I hate you, one more word from you and I will have to break your head" Amen shouted in annoyance.

"Ehehhe, empty barrel" Jemima replied.

Furious Amen grabbed his rake and threw it directly at Jemima, getting closer, Jemima titled her body around, grabbed the rake by the end, and doubled the speed and age turned around and sent the rake hurling back at Amen.

The rake smacked Amen on the forehead, sending him straight to the ground.

Kareem walked into Lord Supreme office, and saw the room was already filled with everyone who was needed.

Dan, Layla, Julius, Kate, and an unfamiliar face standing next to Julius

"Late as always " Julius said and scoffed.

"I see Kate, has she returned back to being a hunter?" Kareem asked

"We need all capable hands" Lord Supreme replied.

"Then the kids should be here also, this threat has to do with them, from the briefing Julius sent" Kareem responded.

"No, they can't be here, they are still young " the unfamiliar person said.

"And who are you? " Kareem asked as he made an ice spear on his hands and walked closer to the man and placed the ice spear on his neck.

"Jin " the man replied and held Kareem by the hand and slowly the once began to melt, as Jin made heat emit from his body.

"Naturally you should be my opponent, water and fire's Kareem said.

"I support Kareem, we should involve the kid, especially Maze and his demon sister, I was opportuned to have a first encounter with Maze myself and his sister on the day she got transformed, he has potentials" Jin said.

"You are the one Maze talks about, but you failed as a hunter, you let my wife die" Kareem muttered

"It was her I'll fate, deal with it" Jin replied.

"You have guts" Kareem scoffed as he moved back.

"Enough, we can't involve the kids, that is why I called you all, we need to protect them" Lord Supreme said and heaved


"The only way to protect them is to tell them and make them know what they are up against, it gives them the edge" Jin said.

"My man" Kareem said within himself and smiled.

"I SAIID NO!!" lord Supreme shouted in annoyance.

"I think I'm done here" Kareem said and walked out.

"Kareem don't you dare walk out on me" Lord Supreme said lowly

"Come stop me" Kareem replied and smashed the door, ramming his body through the open space.

"I'm out also" Jin said and followed suit.

"Are they always this way " Layla asked Dan.

"Pearl strongest hunters are logger heads" Dan replied and heaved.

"You know I think Kareem is right ' Kate replied and also walked out.

After the day job, Michell sat at the balcony of her apartment, which faced the outskirt of Pearl Village, she folded her legs into each other and sighed as she tried concentrating

"My witch vision should see about half of the earth and outer space, enough concentration should do" Michell said grunting.

"Huhhnn" Michell grunted and opened her eyes, looking at the sky.

"What is that huge junk of metal, coming down here? " she asked herself and quickly stood up.

***
***

"I swear, I knew what I saw, it was a big huge floating metal in space, like a whole planet itself coming towards us" Michell said, trying to make Maze and Amen believe what she told them.

"You're hallucinating, if anything as huge as that is coming, then we should have heard of it" Amen said

"Unless if it is being hidden from you" Jin said appearing at the entrance of the training hall.

"And who are you? " Michell asked and locked her palms together.

"I remember you" Maze said and signalled Michell to power down.

"I'm glad you do, that which the witch saw is why I am here, my name is Jin"

"And we both will train you personally starting now, you four are the reason that thing is coming here " Kareem said and appeared behind Jin.

"A witch, a demon God, living divine human, and you who house the good bad Lilith, hey, Lilith long time no see" Jin said staring at Amen.

"Who is Lilith? " Michell asked confused.

"Seems you all haven't been honest with yourselves, you all have secret weapon you are not sharing with one another, such a pain" Jin said and scoffed.

"Tch, someone can't have peace for a long time, trouble keeps knocking " Amen said in Lilith's voice, more like Lilith speaking through him

Chapter 40

The tunnel way led them outside the borders of Pearl Village, surprised at such method, Kate looked at Chase and back at the hunter with her.

"From here goes two different route and all traces are gone, we have to split, you and Chase, go north, I'll take the south route" Kate suggested and without hesitation Chase and the hunter dashed off.

"Good, I don't need anyone holding me back, I need to unleash all angers in me at them, they're just few meters ahead " she said within herself as she watched the hunter and Chase disappeared into the dark.

"Argghhhh" one of the kidnappers shouted in pain as Clare sunk her teeth into his left wrist.

He grabbed Claire by the hair and threw her to the ground, with annoyance, he smacked her on the stomach with his feet, repeating the process

"Let get go!!" Jemima shouted, bamging hard on the cage, and at the same time helpless.

"I'll just send you to hell" the man shouted as he smoked her hard

"Anyone of you who dares rubbish will meet worse fate than her " he said as he walked to his camel and brought out a whip.

He loosed it and lashed it on the air, walking closer to Clare. With a wicked look on his face, he lashed the whip, raised his hand in the air and sent it hardly at Clare.

***
***

Something dropping from the sky caught the attention of the man, looking up above, he saw Kate's eyes, glowing red, a furious expression on her face.

"Chhhaaaaaaa" Kate screamed as she dropped down, above the man, getting closer, she sent a blow directly at his head.

The force sent the man's head deep into his body, splashing blood out from the shoulders.

Kate landed before the man and slammed her leg on his chest which sent him off, crashing against the metal cage.

"This is why I avoid taking matters into my own hands" Kate said and smiled wicked, an aura of evil oozing out all around her.

The remaining three kidnappers dropped down from their camels, approaching her.

The leader of the group turned into a flaming human and elevated into the air, and shot out larva from his hands at Kate who put her hand across her face, blocking it off.

The larva burnt deep into her arms and almost immediately her hands began to heal.

"This is trouble, no one has ever taken my larva and still be in one piece" the man muttered and flew straight at Kate.

Kate grabbed him by the neck and used her right hand to smack his head off his body.

"I'm getting fired up" Kate muttered, growling like a wild beast and let out a smile on the corner of her lips.

The remaining two dashed at her, one shooting out stone darts out from his hand. Kate felt something grip her leg and looked down and back at the other man.

The stone dart smacked through her body, tearing her clothes and getting stocked in her body to prevent it from healing.

"Soil paralysis, decomposition begin " the other man said from distance.

A huge termite popped out from beneath Kate's leg and struck their teeth deep into Kate's legs and began chewing.

"Huhnmm, such trick is not enough to get me, Glass transparency " Kate muttered and became invisible.

The man shooting the stone darts suddenly felt a grip around his neck and suddenly his throat was pulled out alongside his lower jaw.

The next man before he could decide his next move, his body was splutter into half from the stomach.

Lord Supreme and Kareem stood at the entrance of Pearl Slum and stared at one another clueless on what next to do.

"We need someone who knows the slum to be our ears and do the needful" Kareem said and sighed.

"The Chase guy, he would do, I'll invite him over and we plan this out, we never expected this demon war to have such repercussions "

"Hmm, about that, Julius sent a message, we have less than a month before our biggest fear arrives" Kareem said and gulped.

Kate pulled Mama Nana closer by the collar and smacked her a loud slap on the face which immediately led her ear to burst out blood.

"You messed with the wrong girls " Kate shouted as the hunters dragged her off away from Mama Nana who was been returned back to prison.

Chapter 39

A huge figure walled out, from the dark corner the voice had come from, almost twice of Kate in height and a wide body frame alongside.

"What brings you here? " the man asked with a wicked smile.

"You must be Icarus " Kate said grinning.

"Yes"

"Where is my daughter" Kate said bitting her lower lips.

Icarus looked up into the sky, and looked back at Kate.

"Here is not a safe place to talk, follow me" Icarus said and suddenly disappeared into the dark, while his men also do same.

***
***

Kate and the hunter with her, walked into a moist smelly room, roughly arranged, tattered clothes for cotton, broken plates and totally disorganized surrounding.

"There have been a low key child trafficking here in Pearl for about three months and counting, we kept on sending letters to Lord Supreme but none of it was attended to, when discovered that letters were sent Icarus would kill who sent it"

"What you're not Icarus? " The hunter asked

"I'm not, my name is Chase, I only played along, cause we needed help and seeing you with a hunter, means you're someone of importance " Chase said and felt sad.

"Do you have any lead? " Kate asked calmly.

"There are rumours that there is a tunnel below Pearl that allows these smugglers entrance and exit, so the security system of Pearl does not hinder them, since it does not run deep into the ground" Chase said .

"Any idea where this tunnel is? " the hunter asked.

"It suppose to be in a shop, probably one that attracts kids" Chase said.

"What shop could that be" Kate said confused.

"We will crosscheck registered shops in the register, maybe we could pinpoint something" Kate said and turned around to leave.

"Chase, I'll need you to come along as well, you have knowledge we dont" The hunter said as he head out.

***
***

Kate sat down on Lord Supreme's chair and spread out the registry scroll before her .

"there are a total of fifty five shops here in Pearl and all registered, which means we are at a dead end"

Chase walked closer and took a look at the scroll and suddenly something hit his mind.

"All name here, there is only one I know, Mama Nana toy shop, she lives in the slum and runs a shop up Pearl, normally no one from the slum should be able to run something this large, and here her return value says 12 silver per month, for someone giving 12 silver per month to the village treasury as tax, that should should have been closed down for long but how she sustains it is a question" Chase said.

"You're brighter than you look" Kate said and stood up "Quick, we have to search that shop, I'll get a warrant, while you two go ahead"

***
***

Kate also phased through the brick wall of the toy shop, trying to figure her way around the dark with the others.

Chase hands illuminated, tuning the level of brightness, he finally found a suitable dim light that would still bright their way.

"This place looks as all it is, only toy shelves " The hunter said looking around.

They all heard a faint voice in the shop and quickly Chase put out his illuminating hand. A candle light shine behind a shelf, the rays popping put through the tiny spaces of the shelf.

The shelf slowly moved aside revealing Mama Nana walking out. Mama Nana hastened her feet out of the shop, suspecting nothing .

Kate and the others cane out hiding and walked towards the shelf and moved it aside, revealing a tunnel that ran deep into the ground.

"This is our final lead, We don't know what to expect in here, I'll lend you part of my power house to go invicible, we have to move fast, I can only share limited power with stronger people" Kate said and looked at the tunnel way.

"Hmmphhh" Chase sighed and nodded in approval.

Chapter 38

Maze and Amen woke up first, feeling heavy on the head, they both yawned as the picked up their weak selves up and watched as their fathers snores out loudly.

"We really went boozed up" Amen said scratching his head

"Yeah, how long were we out? "Maze asked and looked around.

Three caged carts, filled with under aged children, were pulled through the desert by camels, which had straps around their body that allowed pulling the carts around the desert.

Claire slowly opened her eyes, feeling dizzy, she tried catching a glimpse of her surrounding and found others like her, and catching a quick glimpse at Jemima who was on the next cart.

"Hey, hey, let us out" Claire shouted, banging against the iron cage in a bid to use her brutal strength to ram through it.

She let out a slight groan as her hands began to bleed.

"Silence there" the man riding the camel that pulled Claire's cage along shouted with a grin on his face.

Jemima heaved and spoke to her from her own cage.

"It's useless, my strength does nothing to it"

"Tch, that's right kid, those cages are made if special grade curse metal that damps your power, because if trouble children like you" another man said and they all laughed out loudly

***
***

Both Lord Supreme and Kareem received a loud slap on their faces, feeling little pain, they ask slowly opened their eyes and saw Lord Supreme's wife Naomi standing above them, next to her were Amen and Maze.

Kareem sat upright, scrubbing his eyes roughly with his palms before let out a long loud yawn.

"The girls are missing " Kate said, disgusted at her husband who was dead drunk.

Kareem hiccuped and collaosed back to the ground. Kate sighed and turned around.

"Guess I'll just act for myself" she said as she stormed out of the house.

***
***

Kate moved from one store to another, places she knew Clare could be, after hours of searching and the day getting darker, she found a place to rest and sighed as many thought ran through her mind.

She hurriedly stood up and took to her heels, running to the village main entrance and exit point.

"Has anyone see my daughter and Jemima? " she asked as she got closer to the guards on duty.

"No, not at all, no one has gone out since evening hours"

Kate heaved and stood still for a moment.

"Dispatch a search party, something is wrong with them, I can tell" Kate said and gave more searching orders.

***
***

Jemima beckoned to one of the captors to come closer.

"I want to pee" she said wriggling her body uneasily.

"A means to run off, pee right where you are" the MN replied and banged the cage.

***
***

Kate ran through the empty street, dashing further into the slums of Pearl Village, she suddenly stood still, upon the unbelievable sight before her.

Bony looking children littered around the street, skinny adults also, tattered roof and broken buildings.

"Hugh, and here is also part of pearl village? " she asked the male hunter next to her.

"It was actually unused land portion of pearl before now, but after each war and fights, the economy breaks down, although not reflected, but these are the people who suffers the aftermath of war, they have no voice to speak up, and it's strange, someone must be feeding on these people, I never imagined a sight to be this horrible"

Kate walked closer to an aged man and went on her knees before speaking

"I'm looking for a girl"

The man picked himself up, mumbling inaudible words as he scurried away.

"That's odd" Kate said as she approached another who quickly took off also.

"Lord Supreme is so focused on saving the village, he forgot that it is being eaten from within" the hunter said.

"Something truly isn't right here" Kate said and looked up at the moon.

"This place has something that needs attention and linked with my girls"

***
***

Kate gulped down the water the hunter gave to her and returned the bamboo made container, with a smile of gratitude on her face.

"Who leads this slum? " Kate barked as she approached a man and held him by the arm firmly.

"It's Icarus " the man said and freed himself "You look too fresh to be in the slum, return back to the better life of Pearl" The man said and dashed off.

"He doesn't even know me" Kate thought and sighed.

"You ask of me" a thick husky voice said from a dark corner and next were hefty men walking out of the dark all around, each holding to hard woods.

Chapter 37

Amen yawned as he jumped out of bed, feeling rejuvenated, he headed to the rest room got himself prepared and ran down to the living room, he greeted his mother who responded back, without batting an eye at him, since she was busy with something else

Amen opened the door and saw Maze, Jemima, Michell, Kareem, Dan and Layla walking into the compound.

"Huhhn" Amen said in awe

"Amen, I see you are prepared already " Kareem said as they got closer to the main building

"Prepared, for what Mr. Kareem?" Amen asked.

"The family food war, this year I've chosen to tug with your family, a lot has been ignored since I left and the lively Pearl Village has become so boring and full of sorrow " Kareem said and smiled.

"So its proper we bring those old things we did that brought us joy, even at the face of death" Dan chipped in, holding Layla's hand

"Huhn, and who is she? " Amen asked pointing at Layla.

***

"The Kareem always win, Maze, you're three bowl down, I'll disown you if you lose to Amen" Kareem shouted, already drunk.

Maze could feel his eyes popping out as he sent down a full bowl of hot soup down his throat, and threw the bowl to the piles of bowl next to him.

Amen also with protruding belly, grunted as he forced another bowl down.

"Come on son, that's number twenty, you're just started " Lord Supreme shouted and moved closer to Amen and began rubbing his shoulder.

"What kind if game is this, old men behaving like kids" Layla said beneath her breathe and stood to leave.

"You dare not take another step" Kareem said drunk and signaled her to come forward

Maze and Amen did the last bowl and both collapsed to the ground.

"We don't do ties, here gulp this down " Lord Supreme said and slide a bowl at Amen.

The bowl tripped over spilling the soup to the ground.

"How dare you? " Lord Supreme said grunting at Kareem and suddenly appeared before him and rammed a blow at his face.

The force sent Kareem off his feet, making him crash out of the house.

Everyone gasped looking at Kareem lay still face down to the ground, through the huge hole he made on the wall.

"Jem, let's go, its boring here" Claire said and tom the lead.

One by one everyone including Dan left, leaving, the boys and their fathers sub conscious.

Jemima and Claire both walked into a toy shop, both awed by the carving and uniqueness of each metal and wooden made toys on display, they both walked closer to the woman who would be attending to them and let put bright smile.

"We want ran popular lady mannequin toy, dad promised to get me one, but he is always too busy" Jemima said and brought out a sack full of coins

"That's a lot of money you have there" the lady said, leaning over the table.

"Dad gibes me his purse to keep"

The lady smirked and let out an evil grin on the left corner of her lips.

"Follow me" the lady said and opened a door that led to another inner room.

As both Jemima and Claire walked into the room, they felt sharp pain on their neck and instantly went numb.

The last giggled and turned around, pick up the money purse and threw it in mid air, caught it and smiled.

"You've brought them, as usual, these ones look really healthy and well, I'll part with fifty gold coins for them" a masuckine voice said from the dark and next emeged a lanky looking man.

"Fifty for each " the lady said, haggling the price.

"Tech" the man grunted and threw a purse at the woman who caught it.

"That's hundred" the man said and behind him, two other men emerged and picked up the bodies, and placed them on there shoulders.

"Take the south tunnel, we can't risk the hunters seeing us, this tunnel has served us well, running smooth business in Pearl Village " the man said and chuckled

Chapter 36

Amen sneaked out of the house, through the window of his room and swiftly leaped over the fence, getting closer to the village exit, he watched the guards on duty closely sighed, there was no way he could evade them all without being noticed, either by the guards or the upgraded village defense system.

"According to the book, void users can use spatial magic" he said to himself and looked up towards the direction where the former Joy used to stay, looked at the moonlight and sighed.

He strained as he struggled to open a portal before himself, only for the portal to close back as soon as it came open.

"Tch, this is tougher than I had imagined, but I can't go back, so you have to come open" he said and threw his hands forward.

Immediately the portal came open, Amen dived into it and rolled out right outside the village, distance away from the main entrance.

"Phew, that was close" he said and looked at the little hem of his cloth that got cut off, because the portal closed on it.

He quickly picked himself up and dashed into the woods

Kareem walked in on Julius and Lord Supreme and leaned on the wall, after pleasantries were exchanged.

"You keep on risking your life " Kareem said to Julius.

"We can't afford surprise attack, someone needs to check the balance and that's how I found out about the Divine tree, that is drawing war to us" Julius replied and heaved.

"What info do you have that os urgent you came this morning? " Lord Supreme asked.

"While searching for answers, I had to search for the rare human race of Soul watchers, they have a long history of keeping the divine tree, it happened that the tree is a source of life itself, which can be handled by gods like Kareem "

Kareem chuckled and spoke "I have a feeling this has to do with me"

"It has everything to do with you, first you brought Jemima to reality with the power of that tree, a seed"

Kareem widened his face and walled closer to Julius.

"While I was sent here, I was given a seed by my father, he told me lives would depend on it, that seed was with me, during my supposed dying moment, when I wished I had a female child " Kareem said

"That makes sense, the power of the seed is manifesting, thereby drawing foes " Julius said.

"Does that mean, this same people killed my entire species of gods? " Kareem asked.

"A high chance of that, and I found out that seed geminated to become Jemima, and that tree is ready for harvest " Julius concluded.

"Let them come, the blood of my brothers cry for vengeance " Kareem said ad tightened his fist.

"Easy there, if these people could wipe out your whole existence, it means they are thousand times stronger than you and I combined, Kareem " Lord Supreme said and stared at Kareem.

***

Amen panted as he forced his way through thick woods, interlocked into each other.

"It should be here, the temple should be here" he said standing in the middle of the thick vast wood.

He took a step closer and suddenly fell into vast emptiness, falling like it was an endless pit.

"Its two minutes and I'm still falling" he said as he tried adjusting his eyes to the darkness.

Looking down, he began seeing glimpse of light, at first faint lights as he dropped further, it became brighter.

Amen fell hard to the ground and let out a loud cry of agony, he curled into himself as he felt pains run through his entire body.

"You made it" he heard the familiar feminine voice say before him.

He slowly raised up his head and saw Lilith sitting on a throne made of bone and beneath her were numerous skulls.

"Lilith? " Amen said straining.

"Master, shall we begin? " Lilith said and stood up, standing about seven feet in height.

***

Lord Supreme walked up to Kareem who sat at the dead end of the mountain in the village and sat next to him, he let out a soft sigh and spoke.

"Didn't know I'd see you here, like old times, we both come here to clear our head" Lord Supreme said and smiled.

"For the first time in my life, i'm scared " Kareem said and looked up at the sky "If someone that strong is coming, do we stand a chance? "

The black circle tattoo around Lord Supreme's wrist slowly faded away and beside an image formed up, turning into a fine young looking man.

"Fanada" Kareem said "I think I prefer you in your wolf form" Kareem said calmly

"If this threat is as tough as you said, then we need to convert our enemies to friends to fight beside us, the top tier demons and the extinct dwarves, these forces combined is enough strength for us" Fanada said.

"Good point, even if we find the dwarves, do you think they would be willing to risk being known by humans to still be alive? " Lord Supreme asked.

"I'll bring their dead bodies with me, if they refuse such offer to help, it affects every species on the earth" Kareem said and stood up.

"I'll personally send word to all villages and every species of humans and beings, anyone who refuses should die before I get to them" Kareem said.

Chapter 35

Amen ran as fast as his legs could carry him, dodging the metal bullets that came at him, he slide on the ground and splitter himself into two.

"Tch, I will die at this rate" he muttered as his clone got hit by the metal bullet and dispersed into the air.

"Air void" he said as he ran forward.

He leaped into the dark portal that came open before him and disappeared.

"Where is he? " Dan muttered from where hr stood at the top floor of the training ground.

Maze gasped at the skill, but at the same time, he knew something was off.

"I have never seen him use that skill except if he is using it as a defense to draw in attack" Michell said.

"And he is taking longer to return " Jemima chipped in.

Dan leaped down from the top floor and landed softly before the man dressed in red overall cloth, his nose downward also covered.

"Your student, did he just forfiet? " the man asked.

"No, Gera, he has never used that skill, I think your student went al out on him" Dan replied and looked at the boy standing afar.

"I thought your students were strong"

"If Amen went all out, it would be the end of your student career, Captain Gera, but something isn't right" Dan said and looked towards the upper floor at his students

"Report to Kareem and Lord Supreme"

Amen found himself floating freely in total darkness, his heartbeat xouoe be heard clearly, he grunted as he tried to get a trip of himself and noticed a white light above him.

He strained as he tried floating towards the light, he stretched his hands forward towards the light and suddenly found himself standing in a room filled with fresh skulls and afar was a lady seated on a bone throne.

"Finally a visitor " the lady said and stood up, descended the throne and slowly began to approach Amen.

"So you are the one who controls the void! " the lady asked as she walked forward.

"Who are you and please where am I? " Amen asked calmly.

"You don't know, this is a world you alone can come into to find solace, like your ancestors before you, I am the void spirit, more like your companion " the lady said and stood inches before Amen and gave him a stern look.

"The skulls, you're more of a demon"

"This" she said and pointed at the skulls "are the enemies your ancestors sent into this void, enemies they could not defeat, we sent here, or those who they wish to break their spirit" she said and suddenly was sitting on the throne.

"Huhn, its a sham, how do I return? "

"Whenever you wish little one " she replied and giggled. "We will be meeting soon for our bounding rituals, by the way my name is Lilith"

"Weird powers you all keep displaying " Maze said and sighed as they walked down the village street

"Says a demi god" Michell replied and spanked Maze on the head.

"Guys I won't be able to go along with you guys, I have something to take care of" Amen said and stop his movement.

"Does thus have to do with the void thing? " Jemima asked.

"No, hey! You don't have the right to talk to me" Amen replied and smirked at Jemima.

"Do you want to rumble? " Jemima said and made a fist.

"Enough, she a a kid Amen, we will be leaving then, what about the mixer, the girls we would be meeting? " Maze asked disappointed.

"It can wait" Amen replied and disappeared.

"Hmm, I wonder if I'm not attractive enough, Amen can go to all mixers all he likes but Maze, I don't just get " Michelle thought within herself and heaved.

Amen walked into the village library and moved through the array of scroll shelves, looking for what suited the best.

*Master Amen, hoe can I help you? " an aged man asked behind him.

"I'm looking for anything related to air void powers and someone called Lilith"

The m gasped stood motionless and finally found his voice

"Lilith, mother of the forbidden void, dark witch" the man said and hurried his steps closer at Amen. "You shouldn't dive deep, ni matter how important it is to you*

Lord Supreme received a scroll from Kareem and opened it, after going through the content, he smiled and stacked the scroll.

"Taking care of one threat another one arises, who knows if another is lurking around? " Lord Supreme said and took his seat.

"According to Julius, they are after a divine thing, probably embedded in a human child" Kareem said "I have a really bad feeling about this, we need to find whatever it is, but where do we start looking from! "

Chapter 34

Layla ran out from the village, advancing deep into the woods, her bow on her right hand, while she forged forward, running as fast as her legs could carry her.

She suddenly halted, seeing Lord Supreme walk out behind a tree before her, blank expression written all over her face.

"It takes more than a Will Scorpion to take me out" Lord Supreme said and threw the lifeless scorpion to the ground "During the fight I got a glimpse of you and told Dan to get along, you see we've learnt and now always a step ahead, WHO ARE YOU? "

Layla gulped and stretched out her bow, pulled the string and slowly an arrow appeared on it.

"Seriously? " Lord Supreme said and slammed his hands together.

The bow flew of Layla's grip and floated towards Lord Supreme who caught it in the air and ran his eyes through it.

"This should only he wield by who it chooses, right? Now tell me who you are" Lord Supreme said and bit his lower lips as he pulled the string, making three arrows appear on it.

Layla moved back on fright, sweat already breaking through her fave pores.

"Three, at a time, he is over powered than what I was told, why does nature keeps cheating the weak, him, Kareem, Dan, Julius, Joy, the kids, all strong entity only in one village" Layla thought within herself, visibly shaking.

Kareem walked into the cave and pulled down his nose cover and yawned loudly, his voice echoing in return.

"Who is home, I come in peace! " Kareem shouted as he and Joy advanced deeper into the cave.

Kareem continued with a mischievous smile on his face, catching the glimpse of lower demons blending with the darker part of the cave, scared of his presence.

"To what do we owe this pleasant arrival of yours " A voice said from above.

Kareem raised his head up and saw an entrance above the cave.

"Give me your hands" he ordered Joy who didn't hesitate.

He elevated steadily into the air, holding firm to Joy, getting to the other section, Kareem let go off her hand and came to a running landing.

Before him were the three top tier demons standing before the huge round stone table.

"A standing ovation, I come in peace and with a benefitting proposal" Kareem said and walked forward, continued passed them and sat on one of the stone chairs.

"Come on take your seat let's have a heartful discussion and I want all demons gathered in this hall" Kareem said and placed his legs on the table, while Joy stood beside him.

Every demon gathered in the cave hall filling it completely to the brim, while the top demons had their place on the stone chairs.

"Question one, what would you depends on, when you finally destroy humans, doesn't that mark the beginning of your extinction? " Kareem asked srcathing his head.

"I guess I would never understand, since I am never a demon" Kareem said and stood up "here with me is a cure to your demonic status, I believe you all were once human, and still have that human consciousness, its a chance to Starr afresh"

Loud murmurs suddenly erupted, the discomfort plainly written on the faces of the top demons.

"You can just come in here and talk trash" North demon shouted and flarred up, taking up her transformation.

"I didn't ask you to talk" Kareem barked at her and pointed to her seat.

"Such audacity he commands" East demon said within himself and scoffed "Even I the strongest can't stand toe to toe with this man or rather a god"

"Who needs the cure, move behind me" Kareem said "Its not must, you'll only give my students the chance to use you as a real time training"

Muffled voices came from the very back and slowly a path was made, revealing Amen and the others bounded and tied.

"We have your children, even better, we needed the girl, her blood is all we needed" East demon said and stood up "the tide has turned" he said and chuckled.

"No one wants your cure, we never asked for it, demons!! We have our answers, her blood will grant us infinite powers, longetivity.... "

"Tch, howany more dull heads are in here? " Kareem said and sat down.

"She is my daughter and you know what I am capable of" Kareem said and stretched his hand forward.

He appeared on the table with his sword on his left hand, walked closer to East demon and suddenly slashed his head off his body. East demon's head fell on the table, Kareem placed his let on it and smashed it.

"Who else wishes to use my family as a leverage? " Kareem asked fuming with anger.

"I want the cure" a demon said from the crowd.

"Me too"
"I want"
"I wish to see my family as human again"

Lord Supreme stretched his hands and waited patiently till Layla grabbed it and stood her to her feet, handed her bow over to her and smiled.

"The demon threat has ended, everyone is safe, you should have come plain, we are always ready to help" he said and smiled again

"How sure are you that demons are ended? "

"Its Kareem on the mission, but I fear something thoughts is coming so fast" Lord Supreme said and turned around "I have to return back to the village, I can't be gone for long" He said and disappeared.

"Something tougher "

***
***

Kareem yawned loudly as the cured demons slowly walked out from the hall, he turned to the top demons and smiled.

"You refused the cure, well you're alone, but let me say this, if I hear rumors of a new demon, I'll come for both of you at ones"

Chapter 33

Lord Supreme watched the sky from the wide window space in his office, straining his eyes to have a view of the demon eye in the sky,million thought running through his mind.

"Is the eye becoming visible? " Kareem asked, walking in with Dan.

"Rarely visible, another attack in three months or less " Lord Supreme replied and turned around to face them.

"We can't sit around and wait for them to attack again, we barely survived and it took two of us to take down the beta demon, even when using twenty five percent of our strength" Dan chipped in.

"That is why I summouned you" Lord Supreme replied.

"Seems like you're about bossing me around, tch" Kareem replied and scoffed.

"Yes, I thought you and Joy could infiltrate their base, send them q lovely message" Lord Supreme replied and sat down. "Since after the first invsiom, they've been lesser sighting and demon attack all over, seems they are recruiting and having larger army"

"If it happens to be so, then its game over for us, but hoe are they surviving for long if they don't feast on human? Isn't that a concern? " Kareem replied.

"Hmm, now that you have talked on that, I'll ask Julius to carry out investigation on that, but it might take time sending the message across to him"

"That old hag still refuses to base in the village" Kareem said and titled his head to the left.

Lord Supreme grabbed a scroll from the table drawer and passed it to Dan.

"Pass this message to them" he said "Alright, go and dont die on me, or else I visit you in hell and kill you again"

Jemima waved her hands till Kareem and Joy disappeared into the distance off to carry out their mission. Maze sighed and turned around to take his leave and saw Amen walking up to him smiling mischievously

"Why does the adult keep having all the fun? " Amen asked and sighed, then folded his hands.

"Its not fun, they are capable of handling the situation " Jrkika replied and kicked Amen on the leg.

"Hey, and we are not? "

"We still have a one year and three month hunter ban on us, don't suggest anything stupid" Maze replied and walked passed him.

"Not anything stupid, we can just tag along, and prove our worth, don't you think we need to take that ban off us as soon as possible, if we don't act other hunters on our level will see us as nothing" Amen said calmly

"Hmm, persistent goat, common, Jemima you stay behind" Maze said.

"And I'll let Michell know" Jemima threatened.

"Know about what? " Muchell said and appeared before them.

Kareem tossed a dried meat over to Joy as they ascended the hill before them, Kareem moving steadily like he was on plain ground, while Joy struggled with placing her feet right.

"We should be getting close, eat up, you need strength, especially going against your people"

"I was first a human" Joy replied and grunted.

"I know "

Getting to the top of the hill, Kareem smiled, seeing the huge cave like castle for afar.

"You can't see it yet, but its one mighty cave, you are only going because you know them, you can sit out the fight " Kareem said and put on his hood.

"Every demon regrets being one, we are with enough cure, if Kird Supreme gave me a chance, I'm also willing to give others "

"Put on your hood, the road ahead is dusty and we will be having extra hand, the kids are tagging along, such adventurous spirit in them" Kareem said and pulled up a piece of cloth to cover hid node downward.

Layla sneaked through the walks that led to Lord Supreme's office, getting closer to the door, she leaned on the wall, and from her right hand dropped to the ground a scorpion which crawled into the office through the opening beneath the door.

"Arghh" Lord Supreme grunted from inside and next cane crashing if table.

"Got him" she said and smiled wickedly to herself and quickly moved out.

Chapter 32

West Demon juggled the human head with him from one hand to another, seated on his own seat by the round stone table, his legs placed on the table.

"What is your end game? " South demon asked as she walked in on him.

West demon ignored her question, and continued with what he was doing.

"I asked a question"

"You bother with what you shouldn't, and my end game is beyoung your comprehension" he replied and snapped his fingers, which in return made the skull disappears.

West demon stood up and walked closer to South demon and suddenly grabbed her by the neck.

"You should know you place flea, the only reason you're alive is me, and I don't mind putting you out of your misery" he said and even made his grip tighter.

"You plan on backstabbing us after defeating the humans, we are just a pun to you " South demon replied, feeling sore on the throat.

"You're right, I can't let you all take advantage and now that you know, how shall I deal with you? "

"You can't kill me, I command the largest army here and I operate the Demon eye, you need me"

"Really? " West Demon asked sarcastically and dipped his emerging talons into her neck.

"Let's test that out" he said and snapped her neck "When you gain consciousness, I hope you understand I stand above you all" he said and dropped her to the ground.

***

Amen grumbled as he paced around the training hall, kicking the air. Jemima and Michell seated by the entrance while Maze made himself comfortable on the ceiling, his sword raised before him.

"Dan asked us to asked here and he is like three hours late" Amen said and cursed beneath his breathe "I am leaving"

A loud bang suddenly came from nowhere in particular, the somci wave produces, shaking the entire training hall, everyone stood alert and suddenly it came again, this time the sonic waves making a visible crack OK the wall.

"We are under attack" Amen shouted and instantly took to his heel.

***
***

Dan felt the waves and opened his eyes, he yawned as he rolled his body around and saw Layla laying beside him, fast asleep.

The waves came again, this time sending light properties on the table at the edge of the bed to the ground. Dan suddenly stood up, bare chest and ran out of the house.

***
***

"Its coming from my old man's office " Amen said as he dashed through the street, taking the shortest route, following behind were others.

Getting to Lord Supreme's building, Kareem and Lord Supreme stood facing each other, few meters away, a huge part of the main building already torn apart, a minor crater separating them, while they both breathed hard.

"Its my old man and yours, what's gotten into them? " Amen asked as he tried moving closer to them.

"This does not concern you, stay out of this" Lord Supreme said to Amen and created a tall barrier, preventing Amen from getting closer.

"Maze, Jemima, and you witch, watch as I beat sense into the garbage bag" Kareem shouted and grinned wickedly.

Dan ran to the scene and heaved a sigh of relief

"Just like old days" he said and turned around to leave.

"Dan!! "Amen shouted angrily and pointed at Dan who slowly turned around. "We waited three hours, and now you appear bare chest and rough trousers, do you mind explaining what's happening here"

Dan grinned and cursed Amen beneath his breath.

"Its a duel that never ends, every time the topic of who is the strongest comes up, they end up destroying half of the village, a piece of advice, don't go near them" Dan said and jet off, laughing awkwardly.

***

Lord Supreme raised his sleeve up, making one of the three circle tattoos around his wrist disappear, he moved his left leg backward, squatted the right, his fist stretched out beside him. With speed of light he dashed at Kareem and landed the punch on his face.

"I didn't see him move" Amen thought within himself "And that punch is enough to take down an entire fleet, but yet" he thought with his eyes widely open.

Kareem grinned as the punch landed on his face, not even enough to make his face move an inch, the sonic wave from punch, sent everyone around off balance and tore down more walls of the office.

"Fanada, what has the old junk been feeding you? " Kareem asked and smashed Lord Supreme, giving him an uppercut that sent him into the air.

"All I can see are flashes of light, I can't see anythin" Maze said with his mouth widely opened "they're fast"

Kareem suddenly landed to the ground from the sky, the feedback creating a six feet deep crater on the ground and the sonic wave completely damaging the Supreme building.

Kareem shhok his head and flew into the sky, and next was Lord Supreme smashing down, creating a deeper crater.

Kareem grabbed Lord Supreme by the shirt and gave him an headbutt that sent him crashing against another building in the village.

"I'll keep punching until I get that respect " Kareem shouted as he dashed at Lord Supreme.

"Not even in hell" Lord Supreme shouted back, swiftly went below Kareem and grabbed him by the leg, and with hisbstrenght, threw him crashing against another building, completely razing it down.

"It took us days of hard labout to erect this village back and they're crashing it like its paper" a demon hunter shouted at the top of his voice.

"I heard they've been that way from childhood" another replied.

***

"My Lord, we finally found the world that possess the Divine Tree of Power, I have prepared our fleet, ready for invasion of these species, with that power, we can finally establish our ground as Ultimate Gods" a husky voice said

The only red light in the vast room, was barely enough to reveal who they were.

"Good, you've served me well Hanabi" a calm, yet terrifying voice replied and slowly opened its eyes, revealing a set of red flamy eyeballs.

yvonncute:
When are we getting an update?I can't wait please.

This evening by God's grace. I've been having exams back to back and at the same time setting up my new art studio.

Chapter 31

Kareem walked alongside Lord Supreme into his office and made themselves comfortable on the seats, Lord Supreme sighed at the sight of the numerous scrolls on both sides of the table.

"You still get pile of jobs" Kareem replied and relaxed his back.

"Yeah, it not like I have am option" Lord Supreme replied and silence followed for a short moment.

"What have you been up tp all these years? " Lord Supreme asked, breaking the silence.

"Most of it being brain dead until I came across the kids" Kareem replied and stared deep at Lord Supreme.

"Something bothers me" Kareem said and leaned forward , heaved then spoke "Jemima, she's my daughter no doubt but I still don't have any knowledge about her and I need answers, even if it doesn't matter much"

Lord Supreme gave a blank expression and ran his hands through his hair, trying hard to find the appropriate words to say.

"Huh... Hnnn, you see, I don't know much, although the research team might be able to help jiggle your memories and see what comes out"

The door suddenly came open, revealing Julius at the entrance.

***

Jemima grabbed Maze by the wrist and threw him over her body, immediately he touched ground, she smacked him hard on the stomach, sending him distance off against the ground.

"Just the remaining one percent of her demon power, tch" Maze grunted as he puked himself up.

Diatance away from them, we're Amen and Michell taking out on themselves, probably what seemed like training.

***

Dan stood on the ruins of a building, supervising the cleaning up to the village and shouting out the orders. An arrow flew passed him, narrowly missing his ears and turned around, it sharp edge pointing at Dan.

"That reminds me, I saw this thing earlier during the fight" he muttered to himself and turned around.

Before him was a dark skinned lady, dressed in light feminine body armor, an illuminating bow on her hand.

"Who are you? " Dan asked as the lady approached swinging her body frame easily.

"Well, a demon hunter like you, just that I go solo, and somehow I find a liking to Pearl, I like places made of strong men" the lady replied and swayed her left hand in the air, making the arrow behind Dan fade off.

"Thanks" Dan replied calmly "I'm Dan"

"Layla" the lady replied and starred at Dan "You look exhausted, come on, I'll treat you to some nice meal" she said and smiled brightly.

"Hu... Hhnnnn"

"You have no option, only weak mean refuse a friendly invite" Layla replied and walked off.

***

"I am not the type to die so easily" Julius said and cleared his throat. "Before he could ram through me, I transferred my existence into cosmic space, waited patiently for my remoulding and here I am"

Both Kareem and Lord Supreme looked at themselves and slightly raised up their shoulders as what Julius said seemed strange and new to them.

"Its good you're alive" Kareem said

"And you, while you were a walking dead, I see you've almost attained your demi god state" Julius replied.

"Wait, we never told you about that, how did you know? " Lord Supreme asked, quickly noticing.

"I knew he was alive, he needed that time not knowing who he is to heal, bringing back his momeries at the point in time will make him run riot, and loose his mind, all I did was a favor" Julius replied.

"Then you should know about Jemima" Kareem said and stood up.

"Yes, your daughter you didn't know how she came to be" Julius replied and took a step closer to Kareem.

"Tell me" Kareem said slowly.

"Her strength, do you think it was because of the demon blood in her? Becoming a concious demon, do you think it was a coincidence? " Julius asked slowly.

Lord Supreme dropped his jaw as he felt the tension in the room increasing.

"What do you mean? "

"She was born out from your out most desire, Kareem, you have powers you can't control, do you know in the blink of an eye and you thought you could create a whole new existence? You're a top tier demi god" Julius replied, placing his right hand on Kareem's chest.

"Farada in there knows this, he was casted out from his brothers , but you Kareem, what really happened to you? "

Kareem breathed in and took few steps backward, feeling feeble on the knee joints, he supported himself by bracing against the wall, and began breathing heavily

"On that night, it happened so quick, I didn't know how it happened or what was happening, I was young, naive. " he said and paused, tears dropping from his eyes

"I watched as the cherubs we're burnt to ash, unseen attackers, the pure creast became soiled with blood, pain and everyone's agony, I could feel them, with his last breath, Father opened the portal to earth so I could escape, that was all I knew, then I woke up Herr in Pearl my Empyrean steel beside me" Kareem said and sniffed.

"More reason you don't know the full extent of your powers, you're the last breed of your generation, a child begotten of human and a god" Julius replied.

"He has more pain than me" Fanada said within Lord Supreme and purred.

***

Dan grabbed the spoon beside the plate and dipped into to the soup, took a full scoop and slurped it in.

"How's it? " Layla asked with a bright smile.

"Its.... " Dan said and made a face "Awesome" he concluded and raised the bowl up.

"You're such an amazing cook for a fighter"

"Huhhn, flattered"

Chapter 30

The aura flowing around Lord Supreme suddenly changed to something evil yet soothing. Taking each steps forward the ground beneath him would crack as he walked forward, his cape flowing majestically behind him. He made his fist as he walked forward closer to the Beta demon that dropped from the sky.

The demon taking the form of a normal female human giggled as she watched Lord Supreme.

"Fanada, dontngo beyond first energy stage" Lord Supreme said as he walked on.

"I thought I might catch some excitement" the voice within him said and slowly the second of three ring tattoos around his wrist returned back to being visible.

Kareem puffed, doubling his speed.

Lord Supreme slowly began to pick up pace, steadily increasing his speed, with swiftness he ran forward, his right fist packed with power, getting closer to the beta demon he launched a punch towards her face.

The punch graced the face of the beta demon, the force it brought along sending her into the air. An unseen force suddenly crashed the demon from the back while still in the air, sending it back at Lord Supreme.

Seeing this, Lord Supreme moved his right leg backward, squatting ninety degree with his left, his punch packed with energy, as the beta demon got closer, he dashed at her, screaming aloud and smashed her in the stomach, his fist bursting out at the back through the stomach where his fist had crashed upon.

The demon let out a soft gasp, as the relayed force from the punch pulled it out from the Lord Supreme's hand sending it rolling hard on the ground distance away.

Kareem suddenly landed from above right before Lord Supreme.

"Nice catch" Kareem said and sniffed.

"You're alive " Lord Supreme said and suddenly pulled Kareem forward and hugged him tightly.

"You're going to make me cry" Kareem said lowly "I'm a hard man you know"

"Shhhssshhhh" Lord Supreme replied.

"There are still demon and I don't think that big one is dead yet" Kareem replied.

The beta demon let out a loud growl of annoyance and cracked her knuckles, stretched out her hands and instantly they transformed into sharp blades.

"I can't sit this one out" Dan shouted as he ran up to them and hugged Kareem tightly "I love the hair"

"He finally begins transformation into his real form" Lord Supreme replied with a smile.

"What form? " Dan asked curiously

"A demi god" Lord Supreme replied and faced the growling demon.

"Wait what, I though demi gods... "

"Save the talk for later" Lord Supreme replied.

"Hey Fanada, I hope you still pack those energy" Kareem asked

"Tch" Fanada said within Lord Supreme.

***
***

"Kareem" West Demon said in annoyance and banged his fist on the stone table fuming in rage.

"He is attaining the demi god state, which means we have no chance of defeating him, our end is near" North demon said, fright in her tone.

"What do we do next? " South demon asked.

"There is always a way, how is the cloning of the alpha and beta demons going? " West demon asked with heavy breathing.

"Progressing, but we are concerned about Kareem what about Lord Supreme who has a contract with the third strongest of heaven spirit Fanada ? " South Demon asked concerned.

"Tch, it becomes more pain, Fanada is an outcast from heaven, casted out because of his cowardness and too much compassion he has for others, we can play on that, when the time comes" West demon replied and giggled.

***

Kareem's feet dragged against the ground, due to the force the Zero beta demon had used in collidig with him, he gritted his teeth and stretched his left hand sideways, as the demon hurled at him.

"What are you doing? " Lord Supreme asked as he appeared before Kareem.

"Shhssh lemme concentrate "

Lord Supreme dashed at the demon, sent a punch towards the face, with swift reflex, the demon dodged it, moved its body below the punch, grabbed Lord Supreme by the waist and threw him off, and continued dashing at Kareem.

Dan ran after the demon, catching up with her from the left and rammed his body against her, noticing this move, the demon reduced its speed, allowing Dan miscalculated, she grabbed Dan's body and threw him off, and continued dashing at Kareem.

"Maze the sword " Michell called out as they ran through the woods "Seems its needed" she said as the sword struggled to move out from its sheath.

Maze pulled it out and threw it into the air, instantly with almost at full mach it projected off.

The beta demon got closer to Kareem, grinning widely, as its spread out it blades, it launched itself into the air and dived at Kareem.

"Txh"

The sword suddenly sliced through the demon while in the air and rotated around and came to Kareem's grip from the back.

Kareem smiled and slashed the demon as it still came at him, completely splitting her into four unequal parts.

THUD!! The body fell to the ground lifeless.

Kareem slashed his sword in the air, walked towards the demon and pulled out her head, looked at the Crying Eye in the sky and threw the demon's head into it.

The head landed on the stone table in between the demons.

Burning with rage the demons starred at Kareem as the portal slwolh began to close and the sky began to go clear. The temaming demons began to burn up in dust ad the sun shined on them.

Chapter 29

Lord Supreme watched as demon hunters trooper out, each moving out to their designated areas. The Crying Eyes in the sky already fully matured. The sky slowly began to go dark, thick cldark clouds slwolh taking over the broad day.

Lord Supreme pulled the right sleeve of his cloth up and starred at the three dark circles around his wrist and touched it.

"I hope the need for that don't arise" Dan said from behind and walked next to him.

"I hope so too, I can feel his rage burning" Lord Supreme said.

***

Kareem alighted his horse and from the distance they we're, the dark clouds that covered Pearl Village could be seen.

"We are about two days away from Pearl, what is that? " Amen asked.

"No one knows, we have to hurry" Kareem replied and climbed on his horse.

"If we move fast enough, we should get there in a day time" Kareem said and geared his horse.

***

"We sent words to the outlander demon hunters, no one responded, not even Julius or Dave" Dan said and continued "If what Joy said is true then we are possibly done for"

"Its what could be done, from the Intel I got yesterday East Demon is dead, killed by someone called Kareem " Joy said as she got closer.

Lord Supreme stood still in shock, same as Dan, both finding it hard to believe what Joy just said.

"East demon had been going around killing top ranked demon hunters to prevent them from joining forces, and his streak ended when he came across this same Kareem" Joy said.

"Thanks, give us space " Lord Supreme ordered Joy.

She nodded her head and took her leave.

"Kareem is alive" Lord Supreme said with a wide grin on his face. "Means I might not get to let Acne Demon out after all"

"If she knew about him then there is a million chance he is on his way here, probably with the kids" Dan replied feeling rejuvenated "Let's do this"

Thunder calls took over the sky, striking furiously, loud rumbling sound followed next, in minutes the entire village had gone dark.

"Its here" Dan said and heaved.

The Crying Eye Portal slowly came open, revealing the faces of the higher demons in each of the portals in the sky. From the portal, demons began to drop down in large numbers, and of different powers and strength.

***
***

Dan pushed a hunter out of the path of an attacking demon and received the incoming blow to his chest, quickly gathering himself together, Dan locked his palms together and grinned. He suddenly appeared behind the demon and drove his right hand through the chest from the back.

"Thank you" the hunter Dan save said and nodded.

"Don't loose guard" Dan said and watched as the hunter responded and dashed off.

Lord Supreme blinked himself from one point to another appearing before demons and in split seconds disappearing, within the little fraction, each demons he appeared to instantly turned to dust.

An arrow flew pass Dan strucking a demon distance away, the arrow pulled out and returned through the path it had come from.

Dan turned around trailing the arrow and saw it pierce into more demons that we're within the perimeter before it finally dispersed.

"Protect the children" a hunter shouted to the others on his flanks as demons in large numbers ran towards the furiously.

From the top of the building where the children we're kept, Joy leaped down, standing in between the hunters and the attacking demon. She pulled out her sword and a metallic ball appeared on her left hand.

"Stone technique, wandering death! " she sshouted as she threw the stone in the air, with enough force, she pulled her upper body backward to the right and smashed the stone with the plain part of her sword.

The contact between both objects, let out a heavy sonic wave that threw most demons off balance, the stone hurled forward furiously, and suddenly ebagm to split into parts, each part moving towards the attacking demons.

Strucking them on their fore heads, the stones pierced so easily through the demons skull, instantly shattering them into dust.

"Twenty more hours to go, can yoi guys endure" Joy shouted, asking the hunters behind her.

"Yes" the hunters chorused.

"Good" Joy replied and dashed off.

Dan leaped over Lord Supreme and smacked a demon on the head forcefully bringing it down and screamed as he smashed his leg against the demons head.

"Most of the hunters are wearing out, I think its time we begin to make use of the cure" Dan said

"Not now, we will hold off the wave, if we use a cure at this early stage, they would also resort to the one they engineered, and we will be on the losing side" Lord Supreme said.

"Ju...st" he mumbled as he kicked off a demon "be p..a..tie...nt" he strained as he kicked off another demon.

"We still have well about 19 hours to continue fighting, how long can the junior hunters hold? " Dan said grappling a demon by the neck and severed its head off the body.

"We go by the plan, the junior hunters are reinforcement, keeping the bunker safe" Lord Supreme said and leaped into the sky.

***
***

Kareem's horse stumbled, due to exhaustation and fell hard to the ground, he quickly leaped off and came to a running landing, without much hesitation, he resorted to his feet, running even faster than the horse could go, leaping from tree branches to another.

"We will never keep up" Maze said and grabbed a branch from the horse and swung himself forward, also dashing from tree to tree.

"Michell, Jem, don't fall behind " Amen shouted as he also leaped off his horse.

***
***

"Pearl Village has a lot of resistance, unlike the other villages ruined in few hours, they've managed to keep up, 17 more hours to go" West Demon said, watching from his cave hall.

"Like we expected, this isn't the time to use our secret weapon and I'm sire they are also keeping something" North demon said and giggled.

"Let's have them see a blink of our power" South demon replied.

"Release Beta Zero" she said.

***
***

More demon dropped down from the portal, houses going up in flames due to the strike from the thunder storm.

A chilled breeze suddenly took over the entire village and immediately all demon stopped attacking all maintaining their stand.

"Something much more demonic is coming " Dan said to Lord Supreme

"I guess its time" Lord Supreme replied and pulled up his sleeves and slowly the black round tattoo around his wrist disappeared.

Kareem smirked as he got closer to the village entrance, running half a mach. His feet raising cracked stone into the air as he took each steps.

"Fanada, I hope you're not asleep, or grown to weak from years of not fighting" Lord Supreme said as he gritted his teeth.

"I hope you can keep up with my pace, seems you've gotten too fat" a mocking voice echoed within him.

Chapter 28

Maze smirked as he walked forward, Michell tagging beside him, East Demon gritted in annoyance and shook his head lightly and cracked his knuckles.

"So how is it going to be? " Maze asked Michell as his sword came to his grip.

"I'm a witch remember, I haven't told you this but I can clone people powers once I've seen them" Michell said and fromnher right hand a look alike of Maze sword appeared.

"Wait, what's it with you guys and new weird powers!!!? " Maze screamed at the top of his voice.

"Tch, ten seconds, let's get this done with" she said and dashed forward.

Maze slashed his sword forward, sending water darts at East demon who easily dodged them, since it couldn't matxh with his super speed.

"My pride has never been this hurt" he said.

Michell leaped into the air at him, suddenly East demon appeared behind her in the air and smacked her on the back with his left leg.

Michell fell hard to the ground, bouncing repeatedly uncontrollably.

"He is getting serious" Kareem said and smiled.

"Enough of your child games, I didn't come here for this" East demon roared and began to shapeshift into his real demonic form.

He rapidly grew in size, standing with the length of an averagely grown tree, his fingers increased in size become just three on each hands. His face grew out fins for chins and his eyes merged and became one at the middle. The muscles on his legs popped out, taking the form of a cheetah.

"What is this beast? " Amen muttered from where he stood.

"That's the true form, he is getting serious" Kareem replied and scoffed.

"Tch" Maze grinned and took a step backward.

"Maze, he is nothing compared to you, just go with the flow of your sword, let it guide you" Kareem shouted

"And you witch, you have the ability to forsee into the future, tap into the warps of time, read his movement and counter" Kareem shouted the words to Michell.

Maze dashed forward, his entire height only reaching to the knee cap of the demon. The large feet came at him, clearing the grasses it came in contact with and making holes in the path it moved through.

Maze grunted as he dived off the path of the attack, slashed the leg and watched as it quickly healed itself.

"You can't be serious" Maze muttered as he ran to the left.

"He just healed back so quickly" Amen muttered.

Maze narrowly dodged the huge feet attack that came at him, diving under the feet, he struck his word beneath it and went with the flow, as he slide under, with his sword tearing the feet.

East demon groaned in pain and stomped both feet's hard on the ground, shaking the earth.

Maze lost balance, the vibration from the ground sending him into mid air. Swiftly East demon sent his full left palm at Maze.

With swift reflex Maze made water shot out from his leg, giving him more speed to jet out off the attacking iron fingers.

"Water Syncth, third form water void" Maze muttered.

A back hole suddenly appeared before the hand of East demon, immediately its hand went it, the back hole closed, chopping out the entire fist.

"Pest!! " East demon screamed as another hand immediately began to regenerate.

Michell from where she stood, locked her palms together

"Witch hunt, immobilize"

The regeneration of East demon hand suddenly stopped, Maze floating in mid air, propelled himself with his water Syncth towards the East demon and slashed off its head.

"Time up" Kareem shouted and scoffed.

"Eternal replica, release technique " he said and suddenly the environment changed

East Demon was already dead, his body almost dried off, with Kareem standing before it, his sword on his left hand.

"What just happened? " Amen asked calmly

"I created another time warp, I killed him immediately he talked about killing Jem, what you just fought with was made from my imagination to see how strong you've grown" Kareem said and slashed his sword in the air.

"So we had only being imagining? " Michell asked.

"No, its an alternate reality, get prepared we leave for Pearl in a week time" Kareem said and walked off.

"Wow, I'd like to see a fight between Lord Supreme and Maze dad" Michell said in excitement.

"The truth is, I don't come close to Emmy, not one percent " Kareem replied.

"What could that old man possibly do? He only sits in his rat office all day" Amen said and scoffed.

"Your father is a ticking bomb, misuse of his powers could ruin the world" Kareem replied and walked off.

"East Demon is dead, defeated in one single blow" Lord of West said and sighed "I warned him, even when Kareem sleeps his powers are never to be underestimated " he said and sat down.

"Launch the crying eyes" South demon said and chuckled.

Chapter 27

South Demon walked into the meeting cave hall and went straight for her seat, a straight face and burning within with rage.

"Your energy is going oft chart " Lord of East said as he watched her sat down.

"There are speculations that Kareem might be alive " She said and heaved.

The silence that fell on them all told how frightened they we're if eventually it became true.

"And how is this true? " Lord of West asked.

"Weeks ago, I sent fourbofbky strongest after Kareem's children and they all died, you all know about this, I dug deeper and it was Kareem, although I was not sure at first, i just confirmed three days ago, I saw him and his male child together" She said.

"If Kareem is truely alive, then our plan fails " North Demon replied.

"Not necessarily, like I've killed the others, I'll go after him and kill him hopefully he has gotten weak by the years " East Demon said.

"Calm down, you're going against a living weapon with no weakness, the only time we got him was because his family was in between" West Demon said and locked his palms together and rested the on the table.

"Then we make history repeat itself, but something I'm concerned about his the conscious demon daughter of his" East Demon said and stood up.

"I'll be back" he said and walked out.

"Prepare the inauguration of the East Demon vice captain, I'm sure he is not coming back" West Demon said and scoffed.

Michell stood by Kareem who sat by the river side, with his hookline dipped inside the river, a metal bowl to his right.

"I'll assume you find the company of the boys boring and Jemima can't flow well with you" Kareem said and smiled.

"Sort of and I don't want the training exposing my full potential to them" she said.

A moment of silence came on them both, while Kareem paid attention to the hook as the dabbled around in the water.

"Come to think of it, you never talked about your family" Kareem said and looked at her.

"Hmm"

"Its okay if you don't want to talk about it, although I don't know which lineage uses your Eye binding technique, its unique and dangerous" Kareem said and smiled

"Its something I can talk about, I don't just know if they are worth talking about" Michell replied.

Kareem nodded and swiftly cast out the hook from the water, having a catch on it.

"I'm from Victor Family" she said while Kareem removed the hook frombthebfish and threw it into the bucket before throwing back the fish line.

"Really, the family with no magic" Kareem said and smiled at her "But you how come? "

"On the night my father stabbed my mom cause she hid his wine gourd, right before my eye, seems that tragedy triggered my dormant powers" Michell replied and sat next to Kareem.

"Someone I killed him, reversed his blood flows and it felt good" she said and sniffed

Amen sighed from where he hid himself, and sighed

"So many secrets she has in" he muttered to himself and slowly backed off.

A loud bang came from the log house, sending thick fumes into the air, hearing this, both Kareem and Michell turned their backward and saw the fumes rise up into the sky and immediately dashed off.

Kareem got to the scene and saw Maze and Jemima standing behind Amen clones and got closer.

"What happened? " Michell asked as she deemed her eyes to get a clearer view at the figure standing amidst the fumes.

"Some lanky dude with off chart powers suddenly showed up and went into an attack frenzy" Maze replied.

Kareem took the front lead and clapped his hands together, immediately dispersing the fumes.

"So you're alive " East Demon said and chuckled.

"East demon " Kareem said and went into laughter which startled everyone. "You've been missing on good diet, you look much more skinny" Kareem said and died down his laughter.

"I see you still have that crazy humor in you, I'm sorry it won't be lasting long" East Demon said and continued "You see, I can't risk anyone getting in my way of our grand plan, Julius is dead, I killed him, Vivian is dead, I killed her, then Ash, Bernard all strong hunters who could stand in our way " he said and chuckled.

"You killed Julius and you think you'll leave here in one piece " Maze shouted.

"Calm, if he killed Julius then he has god like speed that's Julius only weakness" Kareem said and looked at the kids.

"We will use him for your final training, Amen and Jem you're up, you both have the required speed to keep up with him, Jem bash him hard, Amen you know what to do" Kareem said and walked back while Jemima and Amen walked forward.

"Sending kids to do a mans job" East demon said "the little one is your daughter, I should have fun killing her"

"If you die, I'll kill you" Maze said to Amen who smiled with the corner of his lips as he leaped forward with the tip of his toes.

Amen suddenly disappeared before East demon could grabbed his neck appeared behind him and smashed his head with his feet, making East Demon stagger forward.

"Punch Barrage" Jemima shouted as she appeared before East Demon who wasn't expecting it, her small frame easily going beneath him.

She tightened her right fist and smashed East demon on the stomach, the force sent him off, quickly he got his stance and scoffed.

"Cursed children, pest, their attack are very coordinated and unpredictable, brute force with a swift attacker, these are the real trouble" East demon muttered as he stretched his body.

Jemima dashed forward, moving in zigzag movement while Amen followed by the right, getting closer. Amen flapped his hands and suddenly he switched positions with Jemima, getting closer he clapped his hands again, and switched position.

East demon got even more frustrated as Amen switched position, giving him no means to attack. Before Amen could clap hands, East demon with his swift speed dashed at Amen.

East demon suddenly crashed against a tree, shattering it into pieces while he fell hard to the ground.

"He fell for such trick, the truth is clapping my hands don't switch position, I do it willingly and it drains me, not only can I switch people I can substitute anything " Amen said and increased his speed, got closer to Jemima and held her shoulder and they both disappeared and appeared before East demon.

"Punch barrage" Jemima shouted and smacked East demon on the face, splitting his jaws.

"Enough, team two!! Take over" Kareem shouted and scoffed. "This is the big deal, a witch teaming with a demi god, I hope you use your full potential East demon" Kareem thought within himself and chuckled.

Chapter 26

Kareem grabbed Amen by the collar of his shirt from behind and threw him off so easily, with swift reflex Michell dive ater Amen and grabbed him by the arm with her left hand while suspending herself with the right hand holding firm to a tree branch.

Maze pulled his sword behind him as he ran towards Kareem, he leaped into the air and suddenly transformed into a huge rock.

"Your replacement method is weak" Kareem said out loud and watched ad the rick hurled at him from above. "Weak" he said and dashed at the rock, with one swift punch he shattered it into piece and grabbed Maze by the neck from within the rock and slammed him to the ground.

"How strong is he? I can't sense any power or energy from him" Amen muttered as he watched Kareem dealt with Maze.

Jemima followed suit, sending swift punch barrage at Kareem.

"No katter the cure, you still have one percent demon blood in you, let out those rage and mske up for the 99 others "Kareem shouted at Jemima as he effortlessly dodged her blows.

"Im afraid I might hurt you" Jemima said with her tiny voice and her eyes wide open.

"Don't worry i dont die easily" he said and beckoned on her to attack.

Jemima sudddenly appeared before Kareem and sent a blow at his stomach, narrowly dodging the attack, Kareem dived off, lost balance and rolled on tje ground, looking up, Jemima already initiated anotjer attack.

Seeming like a very different person, allowing no breathing space for Kareem, she suddenly phased into two, both of Jemima taking turns within split seconds to attack Kareem.

"Jemima just cloned" Amen said and chuckled

"That's not a clone, her punch barrage are just too fast to be contained by one entity, within those split seconds she phased, meaning one is just a living shadow, it only compose of solid matters because of the speed involved, if her speeds drops down the other Jem fades off" Michell replied "That's trouble"

Kareem gritted his teeth as he managed to keep up with the swift punches that came at him.

The cloned Jemima phased through Kareem, appearing at his back and smacked him on the knee joint from behind, making him kneel forcefully, and next came a hard punch on Kareem's face, which sent him distance away.

"Huhhn, Maze, I think I might killed father " Jemima said with a teary eye.

"Ehehe even at this rate you might kill me" Maze muttered and faked a smile.

"Its time to get serious" Kareem said on all fours and stretched out his hand.

The sword left Maze's grip and moved quickly towards Kareem who grabbed it firmly and stood up

"Divine seek" Kareem said and threw the sword at Jemima.

Joy walked into Lord Supreme's office and lowered her head slightly, Dan standing next to Lord Supreme, a mean look on his face, never would he forgive her for the pain he caused her.

"You loved her" Joy said

"I still don't get why you still decide to take her look still, you should have just reverted to your ill self before being cured, I hate seeing you like this" Dan said

"Let's focus on why we are here " Lord Supreme said and starred deep at Joy.

"We need intels"

Maze sighed as he sat on the bare ground relaxing his back on the tree behind him and watched as his father approached him, he adjusted himself allowing space for his father to sit next to him.

"You all made a good team, I only had the upper hand because of experience, and Jemima, she is one hell of a fighter, seems the demon form had some positive impact on her" he said and sighed as he laid his back on the tree.

"Seems so" Maze replied smiling brightly.

"Your mother care to tell me about her to make up for the years I lost" Kareem said calmly.

"There can't be enough to make up for" Maze said and locked his palms together resting on his knee joint "She was the best everything one wanted in a mother" he said and sighed.

"Thought as much, you know I met her during the Pearl competition for new hunters, although she had no magic or special abilities, yet she overcame so many obstacles" Kareem said and stood up "Get some rest, we begin again at noon"

East Demon chuckled as he ran from tree top to another, seconds after leaping to another tree branch, an unforseen force would crash the branches shattering into thousand pieces.

Reaching an open space, void of woods and trees, East demon halted his run and smiled then slowly turned around to face who it was that chased after him.

"I really underestimated you cause you're a woman" East Demon said and placed his left hands on his chin.

"Then I should do you the favor of changing your orientation" a feminine voice said from the winds.

"Unfortunately I don't have time to spare, I have to get you all strong demon hunters out of the picture or else you become a sore to my plans and I can't afford to lose" East Demon said.

His left chin suddenly split open, fortunately for him he noticed the unseen attack and moved his face slightly to the left.

"You're been troublesome" he said and stretched his right hand forward.

"There is a flaw to your power energy" East Demon said and caught the star shaped blade that came at his face with his left hand that was placed previously beneath his chin.

"When you attack, you unconsciously let down your guard, temporarily becoming visible and back in less than a second" he said and smiled.

"That means you're there" he said and swiftly turned around, grabbed the lady by the neck and snapped it and instantly she became visible.

"Few more to go" he said and grinned widely.
