The Mysterious Black Magician

On the surface, the panic had calmed down a little. However, inside the cold room of the underground channel, the battle was in a standstill.

"Belong to the lowest rank of the Civilized demon?!" Yman and the others asked Ice.

Ice, without glancing at them, nodded her head, "Mhm, although Demon of Possession has the weakest physical and magic ability, their mental attack is the scariest about them..."

Hearing what Ice said, Yman and the two girl's countenance turned sour.

In their minds, 'Weakest? Even the mere presence of it was enough for them to get down on their knees. How about those of the strongest family? Does it mean the mere presence of them can tear them into pieces? For some reason, they do not wish to encounter such beings."

"...So for now stay away from his range?" Ice explained.

Yman and the two girls nodded their heads.

Then she opened her mouth again, "If only I have a little of my mana, I can do something for you to be unaffected by his mental interference," Ice mumbled in dismay.

Yman narrowed slightly his eyes.

"Do you mean... the seal will cancel if you use that something you mentioned, Miss Ice?" He asked.

"Mhm, but forget I mentioned it, whether I can do something about his mental attack or not, it isn't still the best choice, since that monster will be able to free himself; even if that monster was from the lowest family of the Demon Sect, his total strength is a hundred folds than yours."

Yman frowned. He knows what she was saying wasn't an exaggeration by her. He could feel how enormous that monster's strength was — even at this distance. 'Such disparity in level,' he thought. 

Yet this demon finds himself his nemesis in the form of Miss Ice. It's not because Miss Ice was stronger than him in terms of strength or magic. It was clear to each of them that this demon's level was way beyond even for Miss Ice. However, his greatest weakness was someone like Miss Ice who was capable of sealing magic. Not just that, she was a genius talent also.

Yman could only sigh, because he felt it was his fault that the demon avoided being completely sealed — in his mind, he must do something about it. Not because he felt guilty, but because the most important person to him was in this city.

Maena and Almina were both silent while listening to Yman and Ice talking. 

Ice thought that Yman would probably get scared when he heard what she told them that the seal would be broken when she did something about the demon's mental attacks. After all, it also meant death for both him and these pretty girls with him, together with her, if ever the demon could run free.

But contrary to her expectation, Yman's mouth curved upward.

"Perhaps I have some way to defeat that monster, Miss Ice."

"Eh?!"

"Eh?!"

"?!"

Not only Ice was startled by his words,  but even Almina and Maena also did too.

"Hey, what are you saying?" Ice was startled at this guy. Although he performed unbelievable stuff a while ago, it wasn't enough to defeat the demon.

She stared at him who was at the same time gazing at her with confidence.

'Is this person...for real wanted to defeat that demon?' Ice could not believe it and had to read his eyes.

She saw no lies at them, at his eyes.

On the other hand, Almina and Maena stayed silent. They had the gist of Yman's personality, if this how confidence he was stating it, then he must really have the means to do it. Though doubtful, they trusted him somehow.

"How confident are you that you will succeed?" Ice asked.

His mouth extended to the side, then said, "It all depends on how we perform."

Ice stared at him for a second before saying, "I see."

Yman then explained his plan to them.

The demon tried to sneak a barrage of magic attacks. But that human boy did really catch his attacks, then it disappeared like a bubble. The demon wondered if this boy was also the same as that Icy girl who uses sealing magic.

He could not let those fools escape from here before he escaped at this altar, so he had to minimize the power of his attack.

After a minute, 

"Not bad, though it is a bold and risky plan. Also, it is better than none," Ice muttered.

Yman couldn't helped showing a tired face then said, "There's no risky plan, just risky mission."

Ice knew that the seal won't last longer. Her body almost gave up.

"Hah," She sighed. 

Almina and Maena smirked.

"Yman..." Almina called out. He glanced at her.

"Let's do our best!"

"Yeah, let's get out of here alive," Yman replied.

No matter what, he can't die here.

The demon stared at the human boy and girl with long black hair when they walked in the front. For some reason, his attack was barehanded-caught by this human boy. He has no choice but to stop his attacks and find another way to attack them. If only he did not appear in this place, at this moment he probably already sitting on top of the countless corpse of humans and of those fools demi-humans.

He saw it when that Icy girl tapped her hands at the back of the human boy and girl with long black hair. A moment later their bodies were enveloped by a silver glow.

But after it, the cold room crumbled together with stalactites on the ceiling and the ice crystal on the floor. After it, a deity appeared beside that ice girl.

He immediately glanced at the ice mirror at his back. But unfortunately, it was the only exception that did not crumble.

"Grrr, clever girl..." the demon gnashed his sharp teeth while coldly staring at Ice.

When all the ice crystal inside the room crumbled, Yman and Almina dashed towards the demon on the altar.

Seeing it, the demon was puzzled, "Are these humans really coming for their deaths? Hehe!" The demon giggled. Looks like these two humans were so idiotic to charge at him. He even thought that humans were capable of logical thinking, but looks like, except for that ice girl, the rest were —mindless!

"Guehehehehehe!"

The demon broke into impish glee.

Now that the crystal ice and stalactites had finally disappeared. He could finally escape from this predicament. And not just that, he could also take his revenge towards that girl!

A moment later, the demon rushed toward the two humans who dashed towards him.

"Ehehehehe, how courteous for you to come at me on your own devices!" The demons shouted.

He could not use a magic attack as long as that human boy was present. So he needed to kill him first using his bare strength.

Thinking about killing that human boy through bare strength, he wanted to puke. Although in the Demon sect the Demon of Possession was the lowest rank family, their ability could defeat those of the top family.

The Demon Ultima glared at the two humans who leaped rapidly towards him.

Just a second had passed, they were already in front of each other.

The demon Ultima immediately brandished his claw towards the most bothersome insect!

With a smirk on his mouth, his claw tore the air and brandished downright in haste!

Shing!

Yet the smirk froze when he didn't feel any flesh-tearing on his claws.

The two humans suddenly disappeared from his front!

But at the corner of his eyes, he noticed them appeared at his back, while their fingers entangled at each other.

Actually, they were using Rapid Leap consecutively while dragging each other.

They sneered at him. The demon's face twitched and said, "Do you think you can fool me? Guehehehe!" His laugh reverberated inside the room.

He summoned more energy, the dark red energy burst out from his body.

The demon noticed the two humans stopped on their feet at a mere hand-reach away from him.

His mouth broke into a toothy grin. It seemed like the disparity in level from them was still proven right!

His claws fast approaching the human boy.

No matter what! He must finish this one first!

"Guehehe!" He laughed.

Then,

Swoosh, swoosh!

"Ugh!"

He suddenly paused when he felt piercing pains on his back.

The demon staggered a little then glanced at his stomach. He saw two arrowheads jutting out on it.

His eyes turned cold. Then glanced at his back just to see that girl who uses a bow aiming at him.

Bloodshot eyes were shot at her.

"Humaaaaans!" The Demon Ultima shouted.

Swoosh, swoosh, shoosh!

Yet what greeted him was three consecutive shots.

The demon tried to evade by stepping back. But because of anger, he forgot who was behind him.

Shing!

"Ugh!"

He suddenly felt another piercing pain.

He slowly darted his eyes down and saw a tip of the sword pierced on it. Not only that, but he also felt a chill from this sword.

He turned his head to look back, and there he saw a long black hair girl holding a sword that exudes a freezing aura, while her left hand was dragging the despicable human boy. He was on the floor while his back was facing the ceiling.

His eyes were half crying while saying, "A-Almina... you forgot to release my h-hand..." the demon did not know what he meant.

Actually, Yman and Almina should attack together. But for some reason, her hand did not release his. Since she was faster than him, Yman lost the momentum and was dragged by her.

"Eh?" Almina was flustered.
