My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Even in front of dozens of powerful adventurers, the demon didn't tremble, in fact, he even looked confident.

With a superb smile, he began to decrease his altitude, and when he finally landed on the ground, he glanced at everyone and just clenched his eyes a few times.

'My barrier didn't even identify him as a threat?' Ayumi thought in shock, seeing that the demon simply walked through the barriers without even cracking them.

The arrogance of the monster made many of the adventurers hesitate to attack first, thus waiting for the first idiot who was brave enough to strike.

"You humans are disgusting creatures..." The demon spoke, seeing the sweat of apprehension that ran down the faces of most of them. "If you don't want to start this confrontation, allo—" A quick arrow hit the monster's left shoulder, without even buzzing.

This single arrow gave time for the civilians, who were there as escorts, to flee to the outside of the castle, as well as creating a gap for some other archers to summon their Panspermia Bows.

Then a storm of blows tried to hit the demon, and Luke didn't want to be left out. Although he didn't know how to use a spear as well as Nathalia, he knew the basics, which he learned from his companion during some practice breaks.

Imitating his partner's normal pose, he kept his left leg steady and slowly bent his right knee, aiming the spear at the demon.

However, just as he was about to strike, he heard the woman next to him shout: 

"What are you doing? Get Nathalia and Ayumi out of here! I'll take care of him!" Alexis then patted the half-wolf on the back and smiled. She had the light gauntlet's skill active.

Luke looked back and saw the Matriarch horrified by the demon's overwhelming presence. To her, the monster's whole countenance was unpleasant, and even his tone of voice didn't sound like anything normal.

"Are you okay? Come, I'll take you to the carriage." The half-wolf spoke to the Elf.

Startled, she just nodded and they both started to leave. With a glance back, Luke saw that the demon dodged all attacks with extreme ease.

Luckily, Nathalia and Shiro were still at the door. Seeing them, the half-wolf grabbed the Matriarch with both hands. "Excuse me." He said, and started running towards the two, carrying Ayumi.

After a few seconds, he arrived safely at the main door, through which some civilians were leaving in hurried steps.

"Shiro put Nathalia and Ayumi in the carriage. I'll try to help the people here!" He asked the big guy.

Shiro smiled as he saw that he still had the full confidence of his childhood friend. "You can leave it to me, I'll take good care of them!"

"Mate, I think I'll stick with that for a while longer." Then Luke evoked the Spear of Panspermia again.

"Take good care of the Daughter of Hades!" 

Afterward, Luke didn't even dare to say goodbye to Ayumi, because he was still confused about everything, he was about to say to her. With spear in hand, Luke returned to Alexis' side and questioned:

"What's the plan?" The half-dragon had not yet attacked, because she was analyzing her opponent.

"We may not know what the demon's name is, but luckily he has a receptacle. That way he won't want to run away so quickly."

"Okay... so do we have to do any rituals?" Luke inquired, after all, on the first demon it was necessary to do the sealing ritual. 

"If we knew his name? Yes, but since we don't, just creating a hole in his chest will be enough to resolve the situation for now. Do you think you can do it?" She asked, with a look as if she was challenging him. "How about a bet? Whoever kills the demon's receptacle gets a wish and the other person can't refuse."

"Huh... You're weird, Alexis." Luke already thought the half-dragon was impressive, and now she was proposing a bet in the presence of a demon. This was something that far exceeded his expectations. "I accept."

Soon after, the half-wolf extended his right hand to the woman, who shook it firmly as she smiled. "I'll make you dye the hair on your ears pink." She shouted amid her first thrust against the monster.

Luke didn't want to be left behind, so he also propelled himself into an attack.

— Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, eleven figures were gathering at a long table of twelve seats. —

"Hahaha! That's pretty fucked up!" A thin-voiced man shouted, loud enough for all present to hear. "Oops... Sorry, Hihi!" He apologized, putting his hands in front of his lips like a child.

"Are we not going to interfere with this degenerate's actions?" A small silhouette inquired to everyone on the opposite side of the table.

None of the other nine figures spoke up, just the same laughing man as before. "Why should they? I'm not doing anything wrong, am I?"

"Erghh... Not yet." The smaller figure replied, crossing his arms like a child as well. "But are you going to reveal the existence of the demons? Last time, you guys almost didn't survive."

The laughing figure finally wiped the smile off his face upon hearing that question. 

With his left-handed fingers, which were pointed and made of steel, he began to move the crystal ball that showed the battle against the demon in the castle far away in Vasconcelos.

At the scene of the battle, the monster was managing to dodge and return almost every blow it landed, except for one person: Alexis Dmitry. While Luke was struggling to land effective blows, the half-dragon was attacking five, ten, fifteen times.

"Everything is going as planned." He answered the figure in a boyish voice, as he stopped moving the crystal ball. "Except for the contradictory little bugger." He whispered to himself.

Then the laughing figure rose from his seat and appeared in the light. 

He was wearing very colorful clothes, which seemed to have been made from patchwork, but with a certain finesse. In addition, he wore a hat with many tips, characteristic of court jesters.

In his right hand, he carried a child's wand. In his belt, a sword and many porcelain masks. 

"If I may, I am leaving, gentlemen." He spoke, bowing formally. Soon after, he revealed his pale face in the light. His face was covered by make-up and paint, and yet everyone knew that the biggest fake the man wore was his macabre smile.
