Alicia opened her eyes and looked up at the handsome face in front of her. Although the face was a little bit older looking and the hair was now golden blonde like hers. Even his eyes were a solid gold color. Alicia knew who this person was. "Blake…?" Blake turned his head and looked at Alicia. His face was not as cold as before but much gentler as he said: "Mhm… Now that I broke the seal you will not need to worry. I am here for you and will take care of anything that threatens your path in life."
Alicia"s eyes welled up with tears she really truly thought she was going to die once again. Feeling the warm embrace of Blake caused all her previous fears to vanish as she sank into his arms. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something but Blake pressed his finger against her lips and said: "Rest you have worked hard."
Alicia did not say anything, only nodding her head and slowly closing her eyes. She was very tired…
Blake looked up at the young man who was looking at Blake in shock before his face formed a grim smile. "To think a one of the G.o.ds race who never intervene in the mortal world actually stepped in to save this little b.i.t.c.h! AHHHH!!! I can"t take it! Why won"t you let me rip her to shreds!" The Young Man started to shout out in rage.
"I thought after the war of Devils and G.o.ds an agreement was made. The agreement stated that Devils will no longer try to take over the mortal world and G.o.ds would no longer intervene with the mortal world. But here you are creating demon sp.a.w.ns and forming an army. What is your goal for being here in the mortal world?" Blake"s voice was calm but at the same time carried an overbearing pressure with it.
"Haha! What am I doing here? What does it matter to a f.u.c.king G.o.d!? You G.o.ds sealed your power to live amongst the mortals while us devils were banished to a wasteland that is not even fit to grow a blade of gra.s.s. A dark dingy cesspool of molten lava and death. So what am I doing in this mortal world? What else but thinning out the herd a bit and eating my fill!" The young man yelled out.
"You"re breaking the rules of the agreement!" Blake waved his hand a bright golden blade made of light shot out towards the young man. This caused the young man to quickly wrap himself in a thick black fog that blocked the attack.
"You"re really hot headed for someone from the G.o.d"s race! I will let things end here for today. If you even try to stop me I will slaughter everyone here with a flick of my finger. I will leave you with one thing though before I go. Little girl my name is Dolnar. Remember it because a day will come when I kill you and turn you into a meal for my pets!" Throwing out these words Dolnar wrapped himself in black fog before disappearing from where he stood.
"He escaped?" Alicia asked as she looked up at Blake.
"Mhm. He teleported away." Blake answered.
"You can put me down if you want to give chase." Alicia said as she blushed a little. She was still being embraced by Blake.
"It"s fine. Your safety is what"s most important." Blake said as he flew over to where the magic barrier was. Alicia looked to see everyone laying down on the ground causing her to get worried. Seeing this worry Blake comforted her saying: "They are fine. I only knocked them out. I can not let others see this form."
"Will you erase my memory of today since I have seen you like this?" Alicia reluctantly asked. She did not want to forget this day for anything.
Blake looked at those big watery eyes that were saying that she was unwilling to forget and shook his head. "If it"s you, it"s okay if you know. Just promise me that you will never go against a Devil alone again. When you were fighting with him he was actually just playing around. He could have killed everyone with a flick of his fingers. Devils are something that you can not fight against… Not now anyway..."
The two landed on the ground and Blake reluctantly let Alicia go. But to his surprise, Alicia took out her sword and knelt down onto one knee "By the honor of my sword I swear to never reveal your secret to anyone as long as I live! Nor will I ever attempt to fight a devil again alone unless you say I can."
Blake smiled as his figure returned back to his younger appearance. He helped Alicia up as he gently said: "There is no need to take an oath when I know you would never tell anyone."
"But still… I have to show my sincerity. Also.." Alicia looked up at Blake and smiled. "Thank you for saving me. If not for you I might have been dead."
"Mmm… Duty or not I will always protect you. For now, let"s wake everyone up and escort the villagers to their new homes safely." Alicia nodded her head as she watched Blake wave his hand and all the villagers, Rose and Starla all slowly started to wake up.
This was a night that Alicia would never forget for the rest of her life. It was also a hard lesson for her. The world she was in now was filled with many powerful people, enemies, and friends alike. There were some existences that could reap a life with just a snap of their fingers. Just thinking about how close she came to death caused a s.h.i.+ver to run down Alicia"s spine. She was very lucky this time that the Devil was just playing around. Otherwise, she would have been dead the second the Devil arrived.
