Chapter 94 Demon Slayer
Luis had many thoughts running through his mind but the most disturbing of things was how this demon was able to conceal his aura from him and even now, all he was seeing was just a red outline around him.
'Did they send more demons here?' Luis thought. 'But it doesn't make sense to send one demon, unless.' Luis didn't want to finish that thought.
If what he was guessing was true, that meant that his life could be in serious trouble.
'Even after suppressing my aura he was still able to detect me.' the demon thought.
"What do you want?" Luis asked.
"What do you mean? I was looking for my way back to the school when you attacked me with your fireballs."
The demon tried to sound annoyed, if he was going to go through with his plans, his identity needed to be kept a secret.
"Don't play games with me, I know you are a demon," Luis said. "And I also know a student cannot be here."
"De…." The demon wanted to say but on second thought decided to do things another way. "And what are you?"
Luis didn't need to reply to his question because he knew that now that he was a full-fledged Angel his aura had changed drastically from the yellow which belonged to humans to an orange aura and so has his scent so it won't be so difficult for demons to detect him.
"I think we are talking too much," Luis said.
His flaming sword immediately appeared in his hands, if people were to see this they would think that Luis just summoned a soul weapon, but he didn't, he just pulled the sword out from his inventory.
"Hey, hey I'm not here to fight." The demon said, putting up both of his palms. "I wasn't sent by them."
"But you are a demon," Luis said.
"Yes I am, you have already confirmed that, I was working on my portable teleporter when the device mistakenly activated and brought me here, now I can't find my way back."
If he was dealing with a human, it would have been easier to tell if he was lying since he had a chance of reading their minds but with a demon, there was no way of telling.
"Or you planning on bringing an army of demons here with that teleporter," Luis said.
"You are wrong for more than one reason, first is that a portable teleporter cannot take through such a large amount of demons." The demon explained. "And even if it can you will have to wait an hour after transporting the first group of five to transport another group of five."
"And what's the other reason?" Luis asked.
The demon paused for a while before he spoke.
"What's the use of bringing an army of wretched demons here, when I know you will end up slaying them, O mighty demon slayer."
"Demon Slayer." Luis gasped.
If this demon was referring to him as a demon slayer then he might have seen his fight with those demons on the demon planet. Before Luis could speak again he heard Michael calling him from behind.
He quickly turned to see Michael and Ella approaching him.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked, his eyes fixed on the sword which Luis had in his hand.
'Are they not seeing him?' Luis thought.
He turned back to where he had last seen the demon, to see that he was gone and now he couldn't even sense him with his aura vision.
Luis wanted to tell them about the demon, but something had caught his attention, for one his intention of not wanting to fight him was true, he hadn't even attacked him even when he turned his back on the demon. This reminded him of what he had told Ella earlier.
Another thing was that the demon could suppress his aura, this type of demon could be serious trouble to humans and Angels and Luis knew he had to be careful with this type of demon.
"I thought I saw a demon," Luis said and his sword disappeared from his hand as he started walking ahead back to the school.
Ella shrugged and followed after him, leaving Michael to stand there and ponder over his confusion.
'Demon? But my detector should have gone off if that was true.' he thought. 'I just hope it's a thought as he said which doesn't make sense for an Angel.' he thought and started walking to catch up with the two students.

Back at the demon planet, Zroka was sitting on the sofa in his well-furnished room, when a screen immediately appeared floating over the table in front of him showing a demon with black long hair who had two halberds sheathed on his back.
"What is it Desmond?" Zroka asked.
"It's about the explosions sir, we are in front of the castle, I want to show you something," Desmond spoke with such calmness that Zroka wouldn't even suspect that anything was wrong.
"You better not be wasting my time over nothing," Zroka said and quickly cut the call.
Desmond was standing in front of the castle with two other demons behind him when Zroka suddenly appeared before them.
"Greetings Lord Zroka," Desmond said as he along with the two other demons went down on one knee.
"What did you want to show me?" Zroka said without paying attention to their greetings.
"It's about the group you sent out to check out the teleporter reading?"
"Yes, Grog and his men, what about them?" Zroka asked.
"We weren't able to recover the body of his men but you can see him for yourself," Desmond said and with a simple gesture, the demon at his right lifted the black cloth covering Grog on the floor.
Zroka had a horrid look on his face as he stared at Grog's lifeless body and his head which was lying beside it.
"Who did this?" He demanded giving Desmond a cold stare.
"We were not able to find out but since Grog and his men had been slaughtered we decided to go check out the teleporter reading and that was when we found this."
Desmond gestured to the demon at his left-hand side who lifted the black cloth to reveal a similar body as Grog's but this one belonged to Sola.
Before Zroka could say anything about the two surprises he had just received, a female demon in the outfit of a maid came running down the castle stairs.
"Lord Zroka, Lord Zroka!"
"What is it?" Zroka almost shouted at her.
"It's the young master." She said while panting.
"What about the young master?" Zroka asked.
"He's… he's missing." The maid blurted out."
"How sure are you that he's missing?"
"I met Eve and she said that she can't get his readings anywhere around the settlement."
The horrid look on Zroka's face could be seen by the demons there now, these were all too much for a day.
