"You can try, human!" Priscina said with a grin and pointed at the part of the floor Trevor was standing on. It immediately started to shake and cracks started to open up on it. "But you"ll fail."

"Tsk!" Trevor merely clicked his tongue and …

"What the-" Priscina said but couldn"t finish as she fell on the ground and felt like something had hit her neck. "W-what happened?"

"I did what I said I"d do." Trevor answered her. And only then did she realize that he was standing there completely safe and sound and had chopped her on the neck to put her to temporary sleep.

"Tsk! I … lost." She said as she looked at him walking towards Grimma.

"Yes, you did." He answered her. As soon as he did, Grimma tried to run away but fell down after being chopped the same way and fell unconscious.

"That should do it." Trevor said as he looked at the two identical girls knocked out on the ground, "Better take them out of here before anyone troublesome comes."

"Yes, that might be bad for you, wouldn"t it?" then a voice came all of sudden making Trevor gaze towards it in shock.

"Dues!?" He said the name of the person this voice had come from, "What the h.e.l.l are you doing here!?"

"Just watching things play out, as usual." She said with a smile.

"Tsk!" It was safe to say that Trevor wasn"t the biggest fan of her. And so, seeing her there was, in no way, anything to feel glad about. But, it wasn"t just that he knew of usually cunning and mischievous this deity is. By that time, he had come to know something more about her, courtesy of looking into the brains of particular "a.s.sa.s.sins". "Why did you try to distract us by hiring those idiots to act as a.s.sa.s.sins?"

"Well, it"s simple. If I hadn"t done that, there was a good enough chance that Grimma wouldn"t have been able to cause all this destruction." She said as she spread her arms at the mess Remedy Corporation Headquarters were in.

"And why did you want to cause this destruction?" He asked.

"No, no! Causing this destruction wasn"t my goal." She said with a smile. "Grimma causing this destruction was my goal."

Hearing that only made him more frustrated on her. Even so, he tried to keep it in as he asked, "Why?"

"To make the Glice family enemies of Remedy Corporations."

"AND WHY DID YOU WANT THAT?" seeing how all of her answers were still leaving the question of "why" around, Trevor had gotten irritated to the point of raising his voice.

However, Dues" voice was as calm as ever as she answered, "Now that they are enemies of Remedy, that leader of yours had no choice but to teach his family mage-craft. And THAT is something I wanted to happen, and I knew for a fact he wouldn"t have agreed to do it no matter what else happened."

To teach them all mage-craft? That is what Dues wanted. But, for what reason? Those questions were written all over Trevor"s face, and so he didn"t even need to ask for Dues to answer.

"You won"t be able to understand all the details, but just know this – in the not-so-distant future, someone from Glice family will need to kill the entire Demon race. And THAT won"t be possible unless that someone learns mage-craft."

"You … want the entire Demon race to end?" Trevor asked in shock and anxiety.

"Yes, I want that dysfunctional race to end." Dues said and looked away as she said, "Seems like one of those people you would think of as troublesome is about to reach this place. If you want to get those two out of here, better do it now."

And after that, Dues disappeared – leaving Trevor with a lot to think about, but his priorities aligned on one thing – getting the two teen girls out of there.

*****

Dues" plan of wiping out the entire Demon race – I still don"t get it completely. I get the thinking of them being dysfunctional, not that I agree with it. But still, even if they are dysfunctional, why would you want to wipe out the entire race? Not to mention her plan doesn"t end there. She wants the race she controls to become more powerful and be called the "New Demons". She even plans to do the same to Angels after that. To me, her plan seems less about correcting the system of Heaven and h.e.l.l"s supreme races and more about being the one who does the correcting. To me, she looks nothing more than a b.i.t.c.h with a G.o.d complex.

That man reached the headquarters but,

"What the h.e.l.l!? Why is everything on fire!?" He asked himself. Obviously, the answer was not going to just come to him … or not.

"Finally showed up, eh?" Trevor"s voice came from his back causing the man to turn and look at him.

"What … happened to you?" He asked in a shocked expression as he saw the man in front of his eyes covered in dirt and bruises and barely being able to stand.

"Well, just a really powerful a.s.shole tried to attack me." Trevor said with a slight smile, "Grimma, and the Demoness she summoned, are both behind me."

He was barely able to stand on his feet. That man had an anxious expression over his face because of that.

"If you are worried about the guy who did this to me, he"s lying there unconscious." He said while pointing to a man lying some distance away.

So Trevor won the fight? But still, he was in no shape to fight anymore. If another troublesome person were to come and stop them, he wouldn"t be much help. This is why they needed to run away from there as fast as they could. But,

"Tsk!"

By that point in time, 50 gunmen had already pointed their guns at the two of them, all while a single man in cla.s.sic black suit and pants looked from behind and said, "Fire!"
