My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

After Luke's request, the demon's proud expression disappeared. The being stood up from his chair and turned his back to Luke, "You know that from the moment I reveal a piece of information, I will be a renegade, right?"

"I have learned that demons are not very close. Is there a problem with being a renegade?" The half-wolf asked debauchedly. 

"The Age to come will be a time that will bring us all together again and then we will be powerful like never before. You wouldn't understand."

Impatient, Luke stood up from his chair. "If you want to see this so-called Age happen, you need to tell me everything you know, Berith."

The demon slowly turned to look into Luke's eyes. With a wry smile, he said: "So you managed to find out my name so quickly. You must have a direct connection to the Cardinal Church, right?"

"More or less that." Luke said as he walked toward the inn's bar.

When he got there, Luke saw many familiar drinks, which his friends used to drink, and it brought back good memories for him.

"Chaos Followers are associated with demons." The demon confessed, sighed, stressed, and sat again at the table.

Luke looked at the disappointed girl's face, which still contained the demon's thick voice. "Say something that interests me. I don't care about the Chaos Followers anymore, I just had to take care of them when I had a brief contract with the Guild."

The demon slammed his hands on the table, irritated. BOOMP! "What!? What do you mean!? You messed up all my plans and yet you say you have no interest!!!?" Luke was not afraid of the demon's sudden aggressiveness, even though he already knew its strength. 

The half-wolf spun a bottle he picked up at the bar upwards, and when he picked it up, he pointed at the demon and said: "We're getting somewhere... You already knew me,, yet you never showed any indication of revealing it. How do you know me? You can still get away with it here."

"I am— I was one of the commanders of the Chaos Followers. The First Servant sent me here so we could expand our influence, to free another ancient demon and get a new receptacle."

The demon's expression looked like one of pure hatred and frustration as he spoke; however, this time, all those negative emotions didn't seem to be being directed at Luke. The half-wolf felt that this was more like the clear grudge of a deserter, so he said nothing and let him continue talking.

"I was one of the best...I already had a perfect receptacle, but he wanted me to have a better one. It had already been three months that I was in Vasconcelos and my presence was already causing major mayhem..."

"Both in the Dungeon and out of it, right?"

The demon nodded, shaking his brown hair. "I eagerly tried to cover up the events that were caused by my presence. Like the monsters managing to escape the Dungeon, the deaths, everything... and when I finally thought I had found the perfect receptacle, you, that damned thing interfered."

"The Chaos?"

"Yes, that's exactly what the idiots call it... I had managed to lure you into a perfect trap. I saw you killing the Spiders in the Dungeon and even used a Sun Apparition to be completely sure you were the right person; then I used my wiles to link you to someone who already had a past with the Followers..."

"Latmenfar Kriolo..." The half-wolf said low. Disgruntled, at that moment, Luke realized the demon's hypocrisy when he said a puppeteer was controlling him because all this time, Luke had been in his hands.

"Everything was going so well. I even let you kill my two best assassins, to test you even more..."

"You are a sick man. That night, I didn't just kill two people because of you, it was almost a dozen. I thought they were psychopathic freaks, but they were just being manipulated by a demon." Luke said, almost to the point of punching himself in the face for being so easily manipulated.

"Yeah, yeah, now you know how I feel. All right they were crazy, for believing in a being like me..." The demon said as he realized that Luke had lost the badass pose for the first time. "That night, I had the opportunity to get your body. I was stronger, faster, smarter. I had it all, but he interfered and told me it was still early."

This revelation left the half-wolf a little confused because he couldn't understand if the mastermind of all this was someone who had saved his life or was just playing around. 

All he understood was that the fear he felt coming from the creepy being that had possessed the corpse that night was real.

Then the demon continued to speak: "That bastard... since I was contradictory to him at that synod, I knew what he would find a way to get rid of me."

"Hold on...you demons have been meeting for how long now?"

The demon didn't seem to listen to Luke and continued to complain. "If it wasn't for him if it wasn't for him... But no, I obeyed him even though I knew something was wrong and when I finally found you, Luke... You were with a damn S-Class by your side."

The half-wolf knew on the spot that he was talking about Alexis. Soon after, the demon didn't stop grumbling anymore. 

Knowing that the demon would no longer answer him rationally as in the beginning and that he would not be able to get any more information out of him, Luke did not hold back his indignation, came up behind the girl, and tried to slit her throat. Suddenly, he was pushed backwards by a supernatural force.

When Luke managed to get up, he saw a kind of shield protecting the young girl's body that the demon possessed.

"That body is weak, but he has some good tricks." He said as he straightened his thin shoulders.

Luke quickly stood up and set off again. With a quick blast of water, he was again thrown far away, breaking a few wooden chairs in the process.

'Shit... so he can keep his abilities even after he no longer possesses the owner of them? That's pretty appealing!'

Conveniently, the dark was the ideal place for someone with abilities like Luke's to fight, so the moment he threw a chair to distract the bastard, he also managed to penetrate the darkness.

"Ah! I think you were bluffing when you said the half-beast was with you! Otherwise, you would have run towards her already!" The demon teased him, opening his arms with pride stamped on his face.

In that short time, there were many opportunities for Luke to attack him, only they all ended the same way in the simulations that took place in the half-beast's brain: being blocked by the body shield.

He knew he could call on Alexis for help; however, he wanted to end it all with his own hands. He had been in the hand of this demon and another stronger and smarter one for over a month, so he wanted to have this little revenge.

Determined to kill this second demon with his bare hands, he closed the inn's door with <Vind>, leaving the entire room in a complete haze, which scared the demon.
