A Tale After Four Lives 11 Chapter 11: Playing With Devils

Alex stood there in the middle of the woods with Aura next to him, "Ok, I think it's time you go home little one." Alex said as he turned to Aura. " I won't" Aura flatly refused him. "Go, I won't be long" Alex ignored her refusal as he looked at the sky.

"..." Aura wanted to refuse but looking at Alex now she knew that she had better listen or risk making him angry, It was still fine if he argued with her but when he ignored her protest it meant there was no need to even try any further the only thing it will bring her is is anger.

...

After Aura left Alex slowly started undressing until he was completely nude and put his clothes in his storage space. Closing his eye's he invoked in his mind "Mournomon".

His body started to rapidly grow larger as armor-like scales covered his neck and joints and two horns grew from his head and curved downward to either side of his face. His facial features became wild looking and his eye's turned purple with a slit in the place of a pupil.

After the transformation, he stood 2.2 meters tall, with a very muscular physique. Pulling from his pocket space a robe that covered his lower half he quickly puts it on. "There," thought Mournomon, turning in a certain direction he walked deeper into the wooded area.

Stopping after a few minutes of walking Mournomon started releasing a tiny bit of his aura to attract the surrounding supernatural. "This should get her attention thought Mournomon". His plan was very simple, go into the woods attract other supernatural and after crushing them he would finally be able to bring out the caretaker.

...

Standing in the middle of the forest Mounomon released a tiny bit of magical aura, many supernatural all over Kuoh town immediately sensed this foreign aura and went to investigate. Mournomon just stood there in the woods with his eye's closed, sensing five devils approaching he turned in there direction just before they appeared in front of him. "Ahhh, my bait is here", said Mournomon with a wild smile.

Before the devils could even comprehend his words Mournomon disappeared from where he stood only to repeat in front of one of the devils, the devil immediately tried to back off but wasn't fast enough thus paid for it with a massive slap hitting the right side of his face sending him spinning into the air as his teeth flew out of his mouth and falling on the ground, not moving an inch.

Silence prevailed the wood as the devil's four companions looked in shock at what just happened, it happened too quickly that they couldn't even respond before one of them went down and with a slap among all things.

Mournomon not being the kind of dragon to give others time to think was moving towards his next victim, jumping into the air and making the still shocked devil have an intimate moment with his foot, the devil couldn't even make a sound before he passed out from the blow. By now the other three demons finally started responding to him, one of them attacked him with what looked like a knife while the other two released blasts of dark energy at him.

Ignoring the feeble attempts of magick the two devils were casting at him Mournomon rushed towards the devil trying to attack him with a knife. Rushing forward Mournomon slammed into the devil without stopping, needless to say, the devil didn't have a good experience. Leaving behind the knife-wielding devil which lied on the ground with limbs that didn't look like they were supposed to bend that way and a not so inconspicuous foot size cavity in his chest, Mournomon rushed towards the last two devils of the group that were doing there best to escape.

Unfortunately for them, they didn't even have time to give the third step before his shadow was looming over them. Two screens echoed through the forest.

Mournomon stood over the motionless bodies of the devils while dusting his hands against each other, "Well that was disappointing, couldn't even give me a good warm-up" he said. Turning north Mournomon gave a terrifying smile, "Looks like I have more guests," afterward another three devils appeared, when they saw the unconscious devils on the ground they were visibly stricken by this sight.

"Don't worry, you be joining them soon", Mournomon said giving them a wild smile before charging into them. They couldn't even muster any strength to resist before he crushed. "This is getting boring" thought Mournomon as knocked the last of the three devils to the ground.

Just as Mournomon wanted to call it a night, he found a devil flying in his direction, "Flying? must be a high-devil, let's hope it's her." thought Mournomon as he looked at the devil's direction. Soon he saw it or her, to be more precise.

Floating just above the tree line a beautiful woman stared down at Mournomon, "So your the one who's been making all this noise", she said with a frown. Mournomon looked at her for a while before asking with his guttural voice, "I presume you are Cleria Belial caretaker of Kuoh town". "I am...", said Cleria with a frown then continued "...but who are you?"

"Where are my manners," Mournomon said causing Cleria to calm down a bit but when she saw him looking around she couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for", Mournomon looked up at her confusedly "My manners," he said scratching the back of his head. "You..." Cleria was mad and were about to attack when Mournomon held his hand up to stop her, "Ok, ok I might have overdone it a bit, no need to blow a fuse. My name is Mournomon, now could you please come down before I hurt a neck muscle."

Cleria slowly descended about ten meters from Mournomon standing in a defensive stance she asks "Ok, what do you want".
