Chapter 9:

Devil of Lust

Azure Sins (Redux Ver.)


The priest casually lifted his palm towards the incoming spear. "Mm."

The weapon collided with an invisible wall formed by the priest, the collision between it and the spear made such a barrier becoming visible to the naked eye. Unleashing a burst of air pressure around them.

"Tch."

The priest didn't move an inch from his stance, but the opposing force visibly shattered the barrier, meeting the palm of his hand. the force pushing him back. Soon forcefully lifted the priest off his feet, sending him soaring back at high speeds, tearing through the village. Looking into the distance, Miyaura and Aisellia could see the Priest had involuntarily cleared a large distance. Previously where he was standing no longer in sight within a few blinks of their eyes, audibly crashing into the mountain a decently far distance away. The priest's distant crash landing released a large cloud of dirt into the air, visible from even where they stood. The dust cloud rose higher than what remained of the buildings and homes of the village. It was at this moment they were able to acknowledge how far and hard they must have been thrown originally to make it so far from the mountain. Spanning more than half the village between them and the massive earthen mound.

"Oooh, mister priest? What happened? Haha!"

The mysterious man said confidently, almost teasingly toward the priest. The two girls watching him return stood straight, his head tilted slightly with the devilish grin still present while he spoke. Shortly after he broke out into a burst of sinister laughter. Both girls could only look as if they'd seen a ghost. The man's eyes returned to their grey color. Suddenly his head perked up. He began looking around curiously, seeming to snap out of a dark trance while his flaring demonic energy quickly receded. Once he proved able to calm down, he slowly turned towards the girls and smiled confidently at them.

"Yo!" He said with a cheerful smile.

"Y-yo?! H-how?!"

Aiselllia quickly questioned. Her eyes glanced at the man's chest where he had been impaled, seeing nothing but blood where the wound used to exist. Looking up at Miyaura she could see the woman was locked staring at the man and then returning her gaze toward Aisellia.

"I got a little excited there. The last thing I remember was...Oh!"

The man announced before taking steps closer towards the girls and then crouching down in front of them, becoming nearly at eye level with them. Positioning his face slowly closer and closer to Miyaura's, his eyes locked with hers initiating a moment between them. Looking curiously into the eyes of each other, willingly allowing the other to satisfy themselves from not only their meeting eyes, but Miyaura enjoyed the close proximity of their faces more than anything. Evident to Aisellia the only feeling portrayed by her eyes was a deep yearning.

"Hmmmmm." he hummed going into a visible deep thought, Miyaura's blush returning slightly from how close their faces were while continued looking into her eyes.

"Nope, whatever happened to me years ago is still making it hard to remember some things. I feel like I've heard those words before though. It's been a while since I've gotten hurt that badly but it feels like I should be remembering something."

He announced while angrily scratching his head in frustration, returning to standing straight on his feet.

"Anyways looks like the Priest might still be alive. I'm pretty sure he's pissed by now. That's some pretty wicked demon shit he's got going on though."

"Aisellia?"

"Hm?" She responded to Miyaura's call, looking down at Aisellia, her eyes following the noble as she struggled to push off Miyaura's lap just enough to sit up on her own. Miyaura brought a hand to the side of her mouth, prompting Aisellia to lean in curiously allowing Miyaura to whisper into her ear. While they shared a secret, the mysterious man seemed to move between various standing positions attempting to remember what he was trying to do earlier. Lost in a world of thought, he curiously inspected the girls, having a special focus on Miyaura. After several seconds the two girls created distance between their faces. Helping each other rise to their feet together but not without each physically struggling to do so. Once they proved able to stand on their feet, the two girls looked at each other, a slight blush of red on their cheeks. Reluctantly Aisellia nodded her head before she started speaking.

"It's disappointingly our best bet given how the situation is."

"I'm all for it! I've got a feeling...no I'm positive now."

"Aren't you too excited to have a stranger do it?"

"Of Course! But he's no stranger to me! You might like how it feels when it's the right person. Don't you think he's cute too?"

She said playfully winking an eye at her friend.

"Mi-mi-Miyaura! This is definitely not the time!"

She cried out of embarrassment before turning her gaze toward the man lost in his thoughts.

(Geez there's no way something this stupid will work. I'll try anything but something like this is just too embarrassing to bear. I just hope his last words were what I think they were or else we're dead here.)

 Aisellia thought to herself, remembering the unfinished sentence he aimed to say before he was snatched away by the spear. While thinking, she unintentionally began noticing his looks her newfound focus sending her into a slight trance. Unknowingly gently biting on her bottom lip sensually after taking interest in his messy but clean shoulder-length hair and flawless skin His bangs hung low however the thing strands didn't do much to cover his gray eyes.

(He's certainly far from bad looking though...)

"Caught ya!"

Miyaura said playfully further teasing Aisellia. Aisellia quickly snapped out of her trance and caught herself feeling rather embarrassed. Quickly needing to change the subject she began speaking to the man.

"Hey you, what's your name anyway?"

"I used to use an alias, Qrow most of the time, but I can't deny two wonderfully gifted women who are miracles to these eyes, my name. So you can call me Karna. Don't go around spreading it though."

"Well then Karna, will you kill that priest for us?"

"That would be a lot of effort and a risk of my-"

"How much money would we have to promise you?!"

Aisellia asked hastily. The male Karna raised a hand to his chin while in thought. Quickly coming up with his answer.

"I was already on a long trip and that didn't include fighting monstrous demons. That priest guy is messing with a strong demon. I already killed the weaker one, that should kinda be enough right?"

He responded shrugging his shoulders. The two girls silently looked at each other for a few seconds before nodding in agreement with one another. Aisellia however became slightly flustered, the two women having just secretly spoken of his eyes speaking of what he wanted just before he was hit with the spear only a short time ago. Considering how close they were to dying her mind was set on not giving death another opportunity. If this man was the only thing that could save her, she would have to bury her pride. She felt as if she fought internally to save or toss away what she felt was her dignity, reduced to the one value anyone ever saw her for in the capital. 

Aisellia Rae: "Then we'll make a trade deal. If you kill that fucking priest-"

Miyaura: "Also be our guardian as we escort Aisellia back to her home safely-"

Aisellia Rae: "Once he's dead...we'll allow you to grope our bodies...just once."

Miyaura: "As a bonus, I might personally allow you to grope me from time to time along the way!"

Miyaura finished saying, leaning forward with a smile, looking up at Karna playfully. Her movement purposely drew his eyes down into her exposed cleavage. Soon his eyes shifted over onto Aisellia who folded her arms under her breasts, lifting them slightly as she shyly averted her eyes from his once like before. Feeling rather embarrassed by her actions, Aisellia shuffled in place, unintentionally bouncing her breasts on her arms, and with this motion, her blouse opened slightly more, leaving more of her bust exposed to his gaze

"B-both...?" He said, his eyes rapidly switching back and forth between the two of them. Karna taking his leisurely time enjoying his gifted private viewing began to embarrass Aisellia even more, making her slightly upset from the sheer buildup of embarrassment within her nearing its peak.

Aisellia shocked herself with her improvised plan, drawing herself back a bit. Seeing Karna, she could see the dumb grin on his face, drool starting to trail from the corner of his mouth. Miyaura simply giggled watching him in a lost state of mind.

"I think we broke him Aisellia. Hee-hee."

"Hmph, broke or not, If we have a deal then you should hurry and end it. I should add in making you my personal guard dog who follows my every command with what we're offering. Touching only touched once Noble's body and a healthy girl like Miyaura should be more than enough for a pervert like you."

"Heeey, I'm healthy in other places Aisellia, see? It's all squishy soft too, impressive right?"

Miyaura said before giggling, genuinely wanting to update Aisellia on her figure that even she was impressed with. Miyaura suddenly turned her back towards them, slightly twisting her torso and looking over her shoulder back towards her hips. She gently began lifting the back skirt-like portion of the dress around her waist, revealing her thigh, and a slight flash of her rounded and plump rear end, more and more was revealed gradually before Aisellia quickly grabbed Miyaura's wrists. Forcing her to put her skirt back down.

"Certainly impressive indeed!" Aisellia quickly said enthusiastically attempting to stop her friend. Leaning in close to whisper to her while they were close.

"You're not wearing anything under there!"

"Oh! That is right, isn't it? Whoops?"

Miyaura responded rubbing the back of her head as she laughed at her blunder. Noticing his silence, Aisellia found herself gradually becoming more concerned he would leave them for dead. After all, a large payment from a noble wasn't enough to persuade him. It was odd for her, never before willingly allowed a man to look at her body, much less in such a vulnerable and exposed state as it was. Yet she hesitantly allowed him to continue.

"I know it's asking you to really do more than we asked earlier to even pay you for-"

(She's Dummy Thicc!) 

These were the only words running through his mind as Aisellia spoke to him, watching Miyaura squeeze her bountiful thighs together purposely to entice him. Snapping out of the trance-like stare he had maintained vigilantly, a large smile of excitement formed on Karna's lips.

"DEAL!"

He yelled, tossing his arms up in happy celebration. Quickly turning his back towards them and stepped forward. He planted his foot into the ground hard enough to crack the ground's surface slightly around his foot as he crouched down, leaning forward in a running-ready position.

"I'll make this quick. For paradise!"

He yelled as if it was a proper war cry before lunging forward off of his planted foot. His take-off would kick up a great burst of air onto the women. The small collection of dirt and small rocks brushed past the girls as well, causing them to shield their faces from it all. By the time the dirt and dust cleared, the two looked forward. The man was gone. Aisellia and Miyaura stood there silently, mouths agape and a loss for words riddled them at Karna's display of speed. Several seconds passed before Aisellia broke the silence.

"I can't believe he actually agreed to that! He's like some super pervert or something!"

"Yup! Looks like he's really motivated huh? It might be related to the demon part of him if he has sinned."

"You think so? If he can kill the priest then a deal's a deal. With that demon awake, I'm sure us making a run for it without him will just get us killed by some other demon coming from the forest. Come on Miyaura, we should get further away from this spot. Let's see if we can find my luggage case somewhere. We can get you into some new clothes and some underwear to put on."

The two began walking off in the opposite direction of the mountain together, moving closer to the entrance of the village.

"I don't think anyone I traveled with has a bra your size though, mine are pretty big but yours are like astonishingly huge."

"That's okay, I never really liked wearing them much. They're constricting, uncomfortable and they hurt. I didn't want the village boys to go wild catching glimpses of skin so I always kept everything out of sight the best I could. That's why I always liked kimonos and Yukata. Helps hold them in all the right places if done right. But they do make my boobs look pretty great."

"Do you plan to give him more opportunities to look at them? I'm curious. It's no business of mine but may I know at least why you seem so willing to suddenly let him get such an eye and hand full? I can't imagine you so readily revealing your ass to some strange pervert."

She said watching her friend smile as they walked; bringing a smile to Aisellia's face.

"You must not have been able to see it in my past. On that long night, the demons in the forest went on a rampage. The cliffside wasn't the only place with small homes. Families lived throughout the forests before the demons rampaged. Their red eyes glowed in the darkness in every corner I could see. I ran scared into the forest. I was scared and lost, and the next thing I knew I was surrounded by demons. I can tell he honestly can't remember me right now, but I can feel it'll come to him eventually. Do you remember the conversation Eileen and I had at our house before everything happened?"

Suddenly Aisellia's eyes lit up with a sudden realization after thinking back to that same conversation.

"You said you only had one person in mind you'd willingly...Wait does that mean-?"

"Mhm! I might have just been desperate in my time without him and just wanted to feel cherished by someone. I wanted to make an exception for a couple of guys before who ended up being sleazy and only obsessed with my body. They couldn't even acknowledge my words or me as a person, just obsessed boys obsessed with just touching any girl's body that will let them. There was no...desire for ME, if that makes sense. But it helped me realize Karna's the only man to steal my heart. He saved me from those demons. To this day I have no idea what led him there but he was the person to make me feel like everything would be alright. That he couldn't lose to any demon with me close to his side. He protected me all the way to the village, He saved my heart and body at the same time."

"Seeing what he can do now, does it make sense how he was able to kill demons then?"

"Yeah, before he left me I asked him to stay but he said he couldn't. I've learned to...feel things while I was sealed away. The demon that cursed me has possessed that priest and became its host but the priest is dangerous on his own. I could never forget a face. He's been to this village before I was sealed, back then he was Vaugn, the demon hunter who betrayed everyone."

Aisellia's eyes widened in surprise. Visualizing possible ways the demon hunter could have survived and made his way back to the capital to plan for this day. To her dismay, she was unable to think of anything reasonable. The noble feeling is outmatched by her ignorance of the world. Beyond the Captial Freya, she knew nothing of the methods he could have taken. Everything happening only made sense of how well-timed their trip was.

"If I'm right about who he is, I feel like our guy will win though!  After all these years my feelings have never changed. After all these years, neither has the look on his face when he sees nice boobs!"

Miyaura said with an enthusiastic smile.

Elsewhere on the mountainside...

The priest's eyes flung wide open, looking around himself seeing his body forcefully embedded into the side of the mountain on its ground level. Taking a look at his right hand, he saw the spear he had originally thrown impaled through his hand pinning it to the mountain.

"Tch, that attack made me blackout...Impressive." The priest said while he removed the spear from his hand and removed himself from the mountain itself. Looking at the arm he had partially blocked the attack with, he noticed the sleeve of his robes was shredded off; his arm was visibly bruised and damaged. But this did not stop the priest from moving his arm, clenching and unclenching his fist to test its mobility.

"A minor miscalculation. I could feel his demonic presence from the depths of the cave, I was sure that was going to take him out of the picture. He isn't cursed so how exactly does he have the strength of a demon is the question. To survive this spear-"

Suddenly his eyes widened, feeling a heavy presence looming just over his shoulder. From the feeling alone, only the dark figure of a deathly hollow presence glared into his very core as if death had wrapped its arms around him from behind in a dark embrace. His eyes began to shift but before any real movement could be made it would be too late, Karna appeared on the ground at his side. Karna's fingers curved as if he were using claws and quickly swiped and struck the priest's head, jolting the man's whole body sideways and crashing back into the mountain. Wincing in pain for a split second, he quickly reopened his eyes only to see the palm of Karna's hand moving towards his eyes, quickly gripping his face before he could react yet again. Karna forcibly pushed the priest against the mountain's surface partially destroying the base of the mountainside base, soon dashing sideways, dragging the priest brutally along the mountainside. In response, the priest quickly delivered a kick to Karna's stomach sending him away yet Karna easily maneuvered himself, spinning and twisting his body in mid-air to land on his feet.

Just as his feet touched the ground it only took a blink of an eye to suddenly miss seeing Karna ducking. The priest with the spear in hand passed over his enemy, aiming to take off Karna's head with the attack. Both quickly turned to face each other, as the priest turned he thrust his spear toward Karna's head once again leading Karna to move his head to the side allowing the spear to pass by his head. At supernatural speeds the Priest retracted and thrust the spear repeatedly, each blow evaded by Karna while they quickly moved around their battlespace. The priest twisted his body around, he forcibly swung horizontally. In response Karna pressed off the ground and twisted his body mid-air allowing the spear to pass right under his body, quickly landing on his feet once again. The Priest easily manipulated, spun, and attacked with his spear whirling around his body, proving he has formal mastery over the use of the weapon. For every few strikes missed by the priest, Karna quickly returns alternating punches and kicks, each one landing only increased the Priest's visible facial rage even further, making him swing harder and faster. Simple swings transitioned to powerful ones and the forceful swings alone cracked and broke apart the ground and buildings surrounding them from the sheer power behind the attacks. From a bird's eye view, the two would move sporadically fighting at great speeds moving and destroying the area of the village not far from the mountain. Their battle covered large distances in very short periods of time.

The Priest initiated his next attack, he turned his back toward Karna after missing a swing, thrusting the circular base of his polearm backward between his rib and his arm, this clever attack connected with great force striking Karna's face. The stunning blunt attack stopped him in his tracks. Continuing his twisting momentum his eyes widened, seeing Karna was no longer there stunned by the last of his attack in such a short amount of time. Immediately his eyes looked down, to see Karna crouched low. Although quick enough to notice Karna's disappearing, it was not fast enough as the priest suddenly noticed that with a kick Karna had swept his feet right from under him. Causing his body to flip horizontally, it was now Karna's superior speed and fighting ability that could be seen. He performed several quick spins using the spinning momentum of his sweep kick, rising on his leg, lining his body up with the priests from his formerly crouched positioning. He came to a sudden stop unleashing a powerful snapping kick to the Priest's chest, having such a force it temporarily looked as if his foot had sunk into the priest's chest. The impact sent the priest flying away at breakneck speeds. Demon Priest Leon flies through and breaks several homes while soaring into the surrounding forest itself. Unable to stop his flight, the priest could only continue breaking down trees along the way involuntarily with his own body.

Back inside the Village...

Miyaura and Aisellia could be seen inside a village small home at the southern end of the village. Miyaura leaned forward pulling up a skirt to her hips. Paired with the top resembled that of a noble woman's blouse. The blouse tightly fitted Miyaura obviously due to the size of her bust. The shirt was sleeveless yet the chest area was too small to button up completely, given the size of her breasts preventing her from wearing the blouse properly. Optioning to just leave half the chest unbuttoned, exposing a great deal of her cleavage.

"So cuuute! I've never seen clothes like these before! And whatever it's made of feels wonderful on my skin! The boob area's way too small though...and the skirt is squeezing me to death."

Miyaura announced. Hearing a popping sound, both girls looked down the Miyaura's chest, witnessing how the very fabrics stressed to the extreme to keep the woman's chest contained within. Immediately her breasts would burst out of the confines of her shirt, instantly launching every button on it into various directions, prompting both girls to sigh. Aisellia, seeing that Miyaura held a small waist but her bust and hips were extraordinary. Aisellia quickly realized anything the nobles had brought clearly wasn't going to fit her properly. Leading Miyaura to simply put back on what she had on with the addition of the cloak Aisellia had taken from Karna. With her new cloak and gift, Miyaura began hugging herself happily. Leading Aisellia to giggle in response, shortly going into a thought that quickly made her look saddened.

"It's okay Aisellia, I might know what you're worried about. He might have turned out into a demon guy that may be no good anymore...but I get the feeling in my heart that he's still not an evil person as I did then. But that's not all you're worried about is it?"

"Honestly no. The demon aspect of it is still beyond me right now, but he's made his intentions with us pretty obvious. Seeing as he had no problem with making it so obvious...I'm worried for us is all. Men tend to be conceited and horrible in this world. Then again women too in our own ways..."

"Hee-hee, you're really thoughtful Aisellia, you know that? You're a thinker person! I like that about you! So besides our safety, you're worried about my heart when it comes to him and other women he'll flirt with? It won't hurt me if he does. I can just bash their face in!"

She said raising a fist with a look of determination which made Aisellia awkwardly smile.

"Seriously though, by the time we get you back home, I'll find out if he is still the type of person I can give my all to. I'll just be keeping my promise all those years ago until then, I want to be by his side helping him live to his heart's content which will make me happy. Every day he opens his eyes, every breath he takes, and any move he makes, I'll do my best to make them special. No matter who I met, he's always had my heart and spirit but I'll have a chance to show him how far my affection goes in return. It's my part of the promise to learn to love myself and every part of myself before he'll marry me. Thinking about other girls now, it actually wouldn't bother me as long as I still get his favorite wife!"

Miyaura said, looking around the house they were in while playing with her own hair before turning back to Aisellia revealing a smile on her face.

"I'll win my reward by letting him enjoy having me near him more than any girl he'll meet for the long run if I have to. If I can work on myself further from this day on and give him every bit of support that I can, I'll be Best Girl for sure! I have the advantage with these!"

Miyaura finished saying, taking the opportunity to gently grab onto and lift her breasts for emphasis. Her gesture made Aisellia giggle from seeing once again how happy and confident Miyaura was with her body and overall self.

"Self Love, to understand and earn true love huh? You know Miyaura, I don't care what anyone ever said about you. You're beyond wise in ways plenty of people are too scared to even explore."

Suddenly the house began to shake a few times, a couple of seconds in between each quake. After a silent pause, the two girls looked at each other. Each could tell the other became worried by their shared expression alone.

"It sounds far but we can still feel it over here..."

Aisellia stated, turning her body to look outside one of the windows. Miyaura quickly took a posture revealing her shyness as she began twiddling her fingers.

"Aisellia? If you at some point start thinking you might like him too...then I don't mind sharing him with you. I'd be happy to share our handsome groper; I also wouldn't mind you getting to feel the happiness in my heart that's kept me going for so long. When you finally discover a person who's able to bring so many feelings to your heart, mind, and body, It's strange. All that time I was sealed I had a lot of time to think about having him all to myself but getting to know you a little more finally face to face has got me thinking. I would be alright if you fell in love with him too."

"W-what?! Me?! like that pervert? He's out there right now fighting a monster priest exponentially stronger than Leo not for money, but for ass! W-why me anyway?"

Aisellia said, looking quite embarrassed as she turned her eyes away from Miyaura.

"It's fine with me if it's you. Put simply, with the two of us I can enjoy being a big part of that happiness. If he does decide his attention wants different things at times I won't mind much but I rather have it be you. I'm sure he wouldn't mind either, you're pretty sexy yourself. Just saying the idea will always be on the table for you if things turn out that way hee-hee!"

"Um. Thank you Miyaura. I know that means a lot to you. So I promise you, even though it's more than likely not going to happen, I'll keep an open mind on this journey. What is he though? He looks like a regular person but he has the speed and strength of a demon. Are you able to feel anything from him? You're able to sense the energy of demons right?"

"Yes. I could feel an unending pool of darkness inside him, if I tried to explain it, it's like being swallowed into the sea, virtually endless...but it's like all that is clashing...no restrained by another part of him, a light side holding it all together like a glass jar. Demons you feel their ominous aura, their killing intent, and rage. Humans, it's more like a natural life force feeling to them. The desire to follow those impulses to satisfy yourself at the cost and sacrifice of other beings without a second thought... it's like Leo said, demons are instinctual beings, savage monsters unable to think beyond...well instinct."

"Going by what you say, when we offered a deal in exchange for killing them...he didn't act like those fiends and...forced what he wanted from us anyways. I noticed once we proposed, that we were okay with him...In a way what we offered him was permission for him to have a moment of happiness his way, one thing worth more than the trouble."

"A glimpse of his paradise. We're all born human; it's not out of the ordinary to be attracted to another person physically. I think he's pretty interesting as long as he's being himself about it. He could have but he didn't lie to us."

Miyaura further explained. Aisellia took a second to think before moving closer to Miyaura, away from the window.

"Hm. I guess I can't blame him there. It's all up to him now to earn what he loves too. The deal was just some crazy split-second idea. But I couldn't think of a single alternative. It's the only gamble we could bet on."

Aisellia finished, folding her arms under her breasts and walking up to Miyaura with a confident smile.

"I was always told I was pretty smart, but I think I have a few things I could learn from you Miyaura."

"Then I'll learn things from you too! But plans and strategies are a little hard so If you don't mind, I can leave those to you and I can be the muscle!"

Inside the forest...

*Pant* *Pant* The priest attempted to catch his breath, his clothes covered In the dirt and torn in places, kneeling on a single knee looking forward in the direction he had come from. An extensive amount of trees visibly toppled and broken creating a path of destruction his body was forced to take. He was in disbelief at Karna's last attack that sent him through the village and into the forest itself. Looking at the damage caused to his body, the priest visibly became angered, a large vein pulsing on his head while he gritted his teeth submitting to internal deep rage. This emotional reaction suddenly caused his left eye to vibrate before it shifted to a red color, the eye looking heavily demonic in comparison to the other normal eye.

(How can he be that strong? If he were a demon I'd guess he's consumed a lot of humans to become that powerful but that's far from it. I can smell the human in him but one with a curse shouldn't be able to live long, much less be able to become stronger.)

The priest looked at his side, seeing nothing on the ground around him as if he was searching for something. "Tch. The Holy Relic is gone. It helped keep the demon in check...If I can hurry and-ughn!" The Priest gripped his head in pain, swaying his body from side to side in the process.

"Damnit! Already?!"

"You fool of a human. Betrayed by those you worked to protect only to be sacrificed, in your ignorance you believed the power of a demon could be captivated by man." The priest's eyes widened, hearing a deep voice beginning to speak to him in his mind.

(No! All this time he's just been waiting for the perfect chance. The boy, the old man, the girl, and I were right in its trap all along. Now with a proper body, he's sure it will work! he's making his-AAAAH!)

The priest let out an agonizing scream gripping his head intensely, soon his other eye changed to reflect the appearance of his demonic eye. The priest's body quickly ceased all motion before lifting his head once again, glaring into the distance with his demonic eyes and elongated fangs. Hunching over the demon priest briefly vomited, his muscles growing significantly enough to shred apart the priest's attire significantly. He released a great yell aiming his chest at the sky. Its yell stretched across the entirety of the forest, reaching even the extent of its other side passing over the village.

Inside the village, the voice of the demon could be heard even in the home Aisellia and Miyaura stood in. The sudden sound and echo quickly gained their attention even at their distance from the previously shaking building.

"W-what's happening?! Even the air feels heavy on my shoulders!"

Aisellia's words got Miyaura's attention. Miyaura turned her gaze to Aisellia with a concerned expression on her face.

"Oh no. It's that priest; I think the demon has finally taken the human consciousness over. A powerful demon's energy feels like pressure on weaker beings. It's in full control now his full power now. Leonel and I were physically too weak to be a proper host to house its power." 

"Humans can't sense energy like she can, so if I can feel it in the air then..."

Miyaura nodded confirming Aisellia's thoughts before closing her eyes and focusing on the energy around her.

"Mm, he's stronger than we could have thought. His power is creeping through the entire forest. It makes no sense! Not just that but every demon hidden in the forest is moving. It's exactly like the first swarm when I was a little!"

"They're all going to help the Priest!" Aisellia exclaimed, piecing together what was coming next for them all quickly in her mind.

"That's weird, it's like the small weaker ones are disappearing"  Miyaura noted.
