"Yes actually. I have been noticing more rageful behaviours on my son.Before we cleared some things out he was cold but not rageful. I thought it was because of the wild month we went through but I didn"t know at all about the inner demons."
"I doubt that anyone knows of the Inner Demons. It"s a story as old as time. It"s a story from way back. Approximately 10000 years before the first Era started.
The superior beings in these earth now formally known as Humans, ill.u.s.tratios, Kastarians etc etc etc didn"t know written language anywhere before 2000 years.
Except Kastarians. They had their own written language a bit earlier but nowhere near actually recording that part of history.
That is why you don"t know anything about the Inner Demons. But every "Witch" or "Wizard" has them.
But at least men were 8 foot tall 10000 years before the First Era. What a joy it was to kidnap them."
"So you experimented on us 10000 years ago before the First Era started? How old are you exactly?"
Asked Eric. His rage was short lasting and was replaced with curiosity once he managed to put everything together.
"Child i"m over 400,000 years old.
I"m not alive but i"m not dead either. It is rather hard to explain."
"I"m not sure why we should trust you with all of this. You do sound a bit crazy, not to forget that you keep saying you are a demon."
Said Commander Alia. Her perception defines her judgment. And she saw a lot she doesn"t like about this lady.
For example. Her dressing is a bit to "exposing".
Her way of talking is tempting even though she is literally speaking how demons fed the people of this earth, their blood.
Not to forget that she gives that psychopathic vibe.
"Don"t get me wrong. There are Demons who punish wrongdoers. There are many dimensions of h.e.l.l specifically for that. The badder you are, the rougher the h.e.l.l.
My people however, come from a peaceful dimension. We are visionaries, academics, thirsty for knowledge.
We don"t waste our time punis.h.i.+ng madmen. If anything, we tried to help your kind.
But man did it backfire a lot."
She paused and said. But enough of that, apart from the actual Civil War in your shoulders, sir Electus, there is a greater threat coming. So as you progress to new powers you must know about all of the Inner Demons."
"What is this great threat you keep mentioning? Enough with the Suspense already."
Said Eric keeping in his rage.
"See. I"m helping you already."
After Lava and Fire, comes Superspeed. But judging from the situation i suppose you started from Fire. Which is why your rage is getting more common. You didn"t beat the first demon yet. You skipped to the second."
"I"m sorry. I couldn"t find lava when a Black Wolf was about to eat my face off in a middle of a forrest."
"Nice Sarcasm kid."
Said Mogranius with a short laugh.
"Sarcasm won"t get you far child. I can claim Ignis if i wanted too."
Everyone swallowed their spit out of fear after that sentence. It just sounded so...Demonic.
"However. As i said, with super speed comes….…..drum roll..... the Demon of Patience, Lartem."
"But isn"t patience, rage control and self control basically the same thing?"
Added Stefan out of great curiosity. Even though he is hiding behind Commander Alia, this is better than a trip to a big library for him.
"They are very similar indeed. But if you don"t approach each one with Caution. The Demons will consume you. Permanently.
Take Xakro"s bloodline curse for example. I"ve been studying their curse for two centuries.
The curse doesn"t just pa.s.s down the wounds but the 8 inner Demons corrupt the heart and there is nothing anyone who carries those cursed powers can do about it!"
"So Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll can"t help the way he is?
Sad really. He didn"t choose to have his powers. They were forced on him i suppose."
Added Woldemir showing grief even though Xakro is trying to kill his son.
"Indeed. It is a sad story topped off with land l.u.s.t.
However sad time over, moving on.
The Demon of Teleportation, Talzejj.
Which brings us back to the point. The source there disappeared somehow. I"m not aware how but i do know the overall goal for that disaster.
That is for later to tell."
"Yes yes. Keep giving us more Burden. As if we don"t have enough already.
"The bright side is, you don"t have to worry about the Inner Demon of Egoism."
"I suppose I can"t be offended by that since i didn"t have powers to begin with…."
Said Commander Alia.
"Moving on. The Demon of Healing Powers, Aresmqaal.
To beat the Inner Demon of healing powers, you need to get rid of self doubt.
Healing requires full confidence of your work. Not over confidence, but confidence based on your hours put in to work and practice."
"I suppose that"s reasonable enough.
Is that why Xakro didn"t attack Eric yet?"
Said Stefan.
"No. Well yes. But no. His plans are greater. Long story short, imagine how powerful he will get if he had level 12 powers."
"He would be able to conquer Continents single handedly."
Added Eric because he felt like a target.
"Exactly. But he didn"t consider that he would go mentally insane. The Inner Demons would double their "Work".
Moving on.
The Demon of Mind Control, Zeb.
This is a delicate art that could make you or your target go insane. Even a Grand Master has complications actually mastering it.
To spank your inner Demons you need all of the previous five. Teleportation isn"t a big part to beat since the source disappeared but you do need to consider on how to beat egoism."
"How exactly can i learn Mind Control? It sounds so confusing."
