Two Children of Prophecy
Chapter Nine: The Shadow Assailant
Few Seconds after Last Chapter (Still-Sixteen Years-Old)
Dante decided physical damage might not really work and he could use Wiccan magic otherwise he'd conjure a load of water, 'Water is a good idea, maybe if I can gather a lot of water I might be able to cool it down with my mental powers, he was still only a Novice at Pyrokinesis but maybe with his ability to connect with water would allow him to use Cryokinesis the ability to manipulate the temperature of water the air, but he needed to cool the demon down so it'd die or stop being partially liquid.
He connected to the water molecules in the air and like magnetism they all moved to him there was a lot of it, he had a floating ball of liquid in front of him he heard the commentator mention that this one of the powers he had won, the Larva Demon seemed to realize that he was using water and decided to launch it's newly reformed arm… at him, he ducked under it and gasped as the arm tried to grab him as it was going passed.
He was starting to really dislike Larva Demons, he concentrated for a second before he watched as the ball of Water started to… boil, 'god damn it,' he concentrated again reflexively dodging another arm of Larva, he let out a sigh of relief as the boiling water started to give off a very cold feeling, it was like a really strong chill, he concentrated once more and the water split off into five different balls that he launched at the… puddle of liquid Larva moving straight for him, he groaned and summoned the liquid back and re-launched one of the balls into the slick liquid, he heard a pained screech, and the demon reformed a large metal Thunk hit the floor as a large frozen piece of the Demon he the floor, it reformed again only slightly smaller, he sighed and thought 'this is going to take awhile.'
Xoxox
It had taken ten minutes before the Demon had gotten so cool that it started to solidify and died as it turned into a small statue that Zankou asked if he could keep, that caused a few laughs though they knew he wasn't asking, 'ah the perks of being the Demonic Overlord' he thought in a amusement as he destroyed the last Demon, next it will be the Battle Royal between the finalists.
It was an hour and half later that the last Demon finished there would be four demons in the Battle that included him of course, 'there's Drecelly, Me, an Ushi-Oni Demon called Tennin, and a Warlock named Sertertus,' the Ushi-Oni was a Ox-Headed demon it was a Japanese Demon and her name was translated as 'A Heavenly Being' so whoever named here had a really sense of humour, the curious ability of the Ox Demon was that it had the strength of an Ox and it had the ability to roar concussive sound waves, an annoying ability that was fatal to weak Demons and Mortals, though it wouldn't hurt him it give him a migraine, so he would have to surround his head in a bubble of Telekinetic Energy to muffle the sound waves, the Warlock was luck not to be disqualified it had decided to use a blessed Athame and steal one of the Demons powers during his pre-fights and then used them to destroy his Opponent, the Collectors were furious that he had taken the Powers though Zankou wanted to see him fight so they spared him, though Dante was going to obliterate him.
He still couldn't think of a strategy to defeat Drecelly, he was a tough opponent, using supreme strength and a massive Hammer, Energy Balls no matter how strong would barley effect the beast's skin, he would be better if he could unlock his Fire Matrix Power but he still wasn't strong enough to use it yet, he would have to use a lot of Telekinetic Throwing he would have to try and get the Warlock to help him as he didn't think he could defeat the Demon without resorting to his Wiccan Conjuration ability.
He watched as the other Demons entered the ring his keen eyes looking for any weaknesses in his opponents, he could see that the Ox Demon was out of breath and was healing at a very slow rate, she would be gone first, she was a strong opponent but the Drecelly would wipe her out easily, the Warlock was recovering from a large burn wound across his back and right arm, and the Drecelly himself had a large slash inside his torso, he thought for a second on the best way to handle this and decided to stay out until the Warlock or the Ushi-Oni was dead or both before he went against Drecelly, he flung himself to the side as the Tennin came crashing past him and it the cage Dead, a Collector quickly attacking the corpse, he watched as the warlock struggled to stay away from the Drones Hammer, he decided to help he made sure to aim right before letting loose a Telekinetic Ball at Drecelly aiming for the large slash across the his chest hoping to rupture it so he could concentrate Energy Balls at the opened wound.
His plan partly worked and he spent the next five minutes helping and defending the Warlock as he attempted to fore fill his plan, he finally managed to force the Skin / Hyde to part into an open wound, the Warlock and Dante suddenly stopped there dramatic swerving confusing Drecelly and giving them time to fire in the Warlocks case Fireballs and in Dante's Energy Balls till Drecelly finally collapsed, the Collectors jumped in dragging the dieing corpse off the field away from the approaching the Warlock, Dante laughed and lightly said "Well it's just us now, do you best!" he said the last bit with quite a bit of genuine bloodlust.
The Warlock started the fight with a volley of Fireballs and surprisingly a blast of Telekinetic Energy, he swerved to the side of the Fireballs but was hit by the spread wide energy blast, he hit the cage and growled as he sent an impressive blast of energy away from him, filling the whole cage startling the Demons beyond including Zankou, he got up and sent a high powered Energy Ball at the sprawled Demon and was surprised to see the Illusion disappear and a sudden sound and heat coming from behind him, he span and let loose a telekinetic wave to repel the Fireball and spun a large Telekinetic Ball at the torso of the enemy giving it a surprise, as the Demon hit the cage a volley of three Energy Balls slammed into the Demon killing it, the Collectors jumping into the stage again, Dante stretched and groaned lightly, he turned and bowed to Zankou, no need to piss him off.
xoxox
Dante couldn't help but feel the thrill of pleasure that flowed through him as the Shadow and Shax Demons powers flowed into him, he clenched his fist, he could feel the Demonic energy under his skin better than he could ever before, he felt the ability to turn into air fill him with a sense of lightness, he suddenly disappeared from view in the club and reappeared in a flash of white smoke and a crackle of thunder, he blinked in surprise he wasn't expecting the power to be so easy to access, he would have to work on the Shadow Power.
xoxox
Dante finally made it home around about four in the morning aching but surprisingly happy and still feeling the high of the battle, he was sweating and he needed a shower, the bloodlust had not finished with his brain though as he decided to give his Youngest Cousin a early wake up call with a Demonic Face.
He Shimmered into the bathroom to find a partially naked Paige looking wide awake and now quite pale apart from a raging blush that covered her face as she stared at Dante's sweaty and quite naked upper torso, he looked at her a little shocked, but he couldn't help get an eyeful of her towel covered body, she was wet having just had a shower, she stuttered out "D-d-Dante W-what are you doing here?" he blinked and asked "I could ask the same," she flushed some more she walked up to him and tried to brush pass but she wasn't expecting to hit his unyielding form and fell thankfully for herself she managed to keep the towel on, Dante coughed to hide his amusement as he helped her up he smiled and said, his black eyes staring into her brown eyes, she seemed to gulp and lean forward, Dante too high from battle to care sucker punched her lips in a searing kiss as he forced himself into her personal space his dominating presence forcing her to submit.
He pulled away from her even as she tried to continue, he was aware that his demonic and teenage urges was forcing this particular event, although he wanted and may even continue at a later date he wanted to learn to control himself more before he does more than dominate a kiss, he coughed and said "maybe we should do this when he are in a more private and normal time of day," he said it lightly and when she nodded he leaned in and kissed her his teeth nipping suggestively at her bottom lip, with a red but pleased face she Orbed out.

Two Years Later (Eighteen Years-Old)
Dante was finally out of 11th & 12th Grade and was now facing the exquisite time at College, a nightmare if there ever was one, Wyatt was in 12th Grade and Chris in 10th Dante was glad to be away from the House a bit more though, he was now going to the Sierra Nevada College a private school, he got a Sports Scholarship though his Triathlon and a special Interview through the school, where they tested his ability in there chosen sports that the school teaches and that happened to be a Sport he really would like to learn, Snowboarding, the school was the leader in the Snowboarding and Skiing in the Country.
He really surprised his mother with that, she had been expecting too goad and push him to go to College or at least look, so he had surprised her to tell he had been accepted to Sierra, he was taking a Four Year course in Entrepreneurship not that he was interested in it, he was taking Environmental Science though that was interesting, though he was taking those three and he had an unofficial swordsmanship teacher there as well, he could use a Sabre and a Rapier but he wanted to learn how to use a Broadsword as well.
He had another pastime other than Swordsmanship and his sporadic liaisons with Paige, Demon Hunting he had earned an unimaginative title in the Underworld, 'The Shadow Assailant,' he was quite amused by it, he had decided that drawing attention to himself all the time in Demon Wars, was probably not the best idea, he had heard from Xepilth that Zankou had been asking around sending his lackeys looking for information about him after his showing two years ago, and now that he had been taking contracts on Demons or Evil beings and then taking them out he had earned his alias and the Zankou's anger, he had taken out several of Zankou's Lieutenants and had pissed the Demon enough that he had sent out a Demonic Summons, he had given his family a fright when he felt the Summons during Dinner and just had enough time to change his face as he reappeared in a massive cavern, he was shocked this was the surprisingly sealed 'War Chamber.'
He had been shocked because he hadn't felt the Summons before so he couldn't escape the natural Demonic urge to answer, so he had been taken with the nearly all the representatives of all the Demonic Colonies, he had been summoned with the Darklighters, thankfully the Darklighters hadn't noticed his arrival, the Chamber could hold around Ten Thousand Demons depending on the size of some of them, the news was quite funny though he had managed to keep his laughter inside, he or should he say the Shadow Assailant was made Traitor to the Demonic Community and a personal Enemy of the Source, it seemed that he had managed to piss him off, and any one that got caught making a contract on another Demon would be found and executed.
His family had nearly crapped themselves when they heard that he and several thousand other Demons had been summoned to Zankou to be told that the Shadow Assailant was basically Enemy of the State, though he had refrained from telling his family just who he was, though Leo had been asked to find out anything on him and he wasn't surprised to find that the Elders had no clue.
He was going to take his last contract tonight, it was the hardest target in the Underworld, the Seer, or at least the a Seer Demon with a really strong Power to see the Future, not to mention she was Zankou's lover, it would be hard because he would need to attack her in Zankou's inner Chambers for that he needed to create a very large disturbance to distract Zankou so he could kill her, he wasn't powerful enough to use the Fire Matrix so he would need to weaken her protections with Wiccan Magic and then kill her with several high power Energy Balls.
xoxox
The only person who knew the most about him was Paige, he had told her that he was a Demon Hunter and she had worked out herself that he was the Shadow Assailant, he had spent many a night in her arms healing from close calls, he had spent many a pleasant night in her bed, not that his family knew, it was there secret, Paige knew he was taking a huge risk on taking this job but she knew that it would help keep the family safe and hinder Zankou in any plans, she knew talking him out of it would be impossible, so he was spending the next hour with her before he went, she knew that if he didn't turn up by morning she was to tell the family about him and were he was dead or alive.
The reason for the Wiccan Magic was because there was an Artefact, there was many magical Artefacts that the Source had access to and one of them was the Non-Corporality Stone it was a stone tablet on a plinth and any Demon sitting on it when it activated would become non-corporeal, although the seer could speak and work her magic she would be trapped and safe from harm.
So he had to temporally disable the Dwarven Magic and attack her before she could summon help, he didn't have to worry about her foretelling his appearance because Seer's couldn't foretell their own futures, so he just had to distract the Source for a few minutes so he could take out his mark, and if he had time take the Tablet with him, the Dwarves would love to get there hands back on the thing and it would make it easier to take out the next Seer if he decided to get one.
Dante looked into Paige's loving eyes, Witches if you looked close or at least with his eyes, he could see the Pure Magic behind her eyes making them radiate love and warmness, he kissed her deeply his blood beginning to rush as he got hyped up for the mission, his Demonic side showed though as he quickly and smoothly took his position on top and dominated her with a painful kiss, making her stretch out and mewl.

Dante finished his shower and said his goodbyes and kissed Paige, he left her there on the couch in her bedroom, he Shimmered into existence, he adopted a Hard Transformation into a Manticore Demon and prowled into a Spider Den Mothers cavern and started killing a few of the smaller one's making sure the enraged Spider Demon's could see his Manticore face he quickly left and Shimmered, he waited for a few minutes at a small bar, it was a place exclusively for the Source's personal minions, he waited for the Source to get news of the civil war that was about to break out, it was five minutes later that a Herald Demon particularly useless in the Underworld gasped out the Sources summons, he dispersed himself into wind and followed them to the door which they left open, the sound of Zankou's angry voice could be heard from inside, "The Manticore's and the Spiders have gone to war, they have broken my Edict, I'm going to go there and demand answers, I want all those that ignore me and continue fighting to be killed, apart from the Den Mother of the Spiders she has lost children I will stop her myself, GET GOING,"
There was sound's of mass Shimmering and Blinking in the room and a the sound of Burning as the Source teleported, he quickly moved himself using telekinesis in his wind form into the Seer's Room, she was sitting on the tablet laid out, she was in smoky outline, he went close to the wall and allowed the Shadows to surround him as he became corporal, he then started a spell he had been practicing, it would effect the tablet long enough for her to become corporal and him to hit her with Telekinesis to knock her off it till it reactivated, then he would kill her quickly, he added layers and layers of magic into this weave, he spent a minute making the spell it was quite powerful, he activated it and a flash of white light in the room there was a cry of shock then a dull thud as her body hit the ground, he quickly located her and sent three Energy Balls at her then made sure she was vaporized before blanketing the area with raw Wiccan Magic.
Blanketing the area like this would stop collectors from gather her really potent ability and selling it to the Source again, so he carefully made his way to the tablet and felt it making sure it was inactive, then he Shimmered away hearing a blast behind him as he disappeared, he landed on the floor of a Dwarven Cave he had found and groaned, he had been hit by that Fire Matrix, he looked at the charred skin and grimaced in pain, he stood and with a thought the tablet rose off the floor, but moving made the pain worse so Dante hobbled onto the tablet and rode it to the Dwarven Chief's cavern was he got quite a few looks and an entourage of guards by the time he got to the chiefs, he spent the next few minutes talking to the Dwarf and got himself so Mithril for returning the tablet to them, he quickly Shimmered home, it was four in the morning and when he appeared in Paige's room he was shocked to find all three sisters there, two looking angry and one relieved, he quickly collapsed and said "Mission Accomplished" with a laugh and passed out the pain peaking in his spine.

Larva Demon – A rare Demon though that is not because of there low numbers because they have many thousands all over the globe, it's that Larva Demons can't live long away from extreme heat, and unless they decide to live in a Volcano you might not ever see one, as they like to live on the lowest levels of the Underworld right below the Crust of the Earth, in the Earth's Mantle. They have many fire manipulation abilities though there strength is in there powers of Regeneration, they can launch or loose an arm of molten iron at you and regrow it, the easiest way to kill them is to cool them down fast and they'll solidify, though it's unknown if they were to be reheated to the previous level if they would revive.
