Tenth author’s journal

n the end of our contract will come to an end and we may part ways. I hope that he may at least show me the way to the human land or better let me come alongside him. ”…Since we know this long. ” he opens

”A night and a day, Mr.Demon? ” I recall. Of such the time we spend would be short and this may be our goodbye.

”No, I mean live past my execution ” he laughs. The tension from before eased up a little.

”Oh… ” I sigh. He continues to laugh at me. His wholeheartedly laugh differs from my ”brothers and sisters ” wicked ones. This time I feel a strange sense of relief rather than fear or sorrow. Is this mean to have ”friends ”?

Tired from laughing, he coughs to regain his composure. ”I haven known enough to bless with a name. Just call me by Blood Claw, ” he says while reaching his hand out for me to shake.

”Mr. Blood Claw? ” I ask while reaching back to shake.

”Drop the mister, please. ” Blood Claw scoffs. Demons must have hated that kind of unnecessary formality. I may have to tune it down whenever I meet other demons.

”Well then, what were you asking of me, Blood Claw? ” I ask him to refer to the previous question. If he may forget it, it would be better.

”What spell did you use, Mikhail? ” he asks. Pulling the book from his magic space of his, he also brings the quill pen to record when he thought my magic to be something new. I doubt that any demon would find it hard to mimic what I have done previously, after all, it was at the front of the high spell. My name must he has heard from the head angel

”You call me by my name! ” I say excitedly to hide my unwanted way of explaining the spell to him, he must take this very seriously and not respond to my façade.

”Well, I call yours and you call mine, ” he says as if he sees through my façade. And here I thought he too is battle-hungry to notice my change of demeanor.

”It was ”Infernium ignis ”. It is a simple high dark spell, ” I explain casually. His reaction is not something I would think up.

”A what? How would a 200 years angel do that? ” he reacts quite violently. Something that bothers me is that he thinks it is an unfunny joke or this is something an angel must not have accomplished under normal circumstances.

” I was studying by myself a lot. ” I lie, knowing that something should not be like that. Resent my lessons as I may, most of them are essential to explain my unnatural growth if anyone could survive it.

” No, what I meant is that how is some angel…no something learn it that quickly, my prince even struggles to learn in at least 500 years. Who exactly were you, Mikhail? ” He explains. So he must be of some to the power of a demon earl or a normal retainer of some demon king.

”I was the 3rd archangel, the young prodigy. ” After what I have said, he coughs violently ”Archangel? ”

The end
