The world is divided into three empires: The Paristine, Exile and Sodome empires. These empires are abode of peculiar beings. PARISTINE empire: is known as the holy city or the city of elites (first world). This is the world of vampires, werewolves, and warlocks. A dominant nation who holds the absolute power. EXILE, the empire where normal people (Vèx Verminians) with normal abilities who have the ability to control the four elemental elements, and rare people (Seltèn Verminians) who build with 2% among the population, who's abilities beyond ordinary than normal vermins (vèx), believed to be the rarest normal people ever alive that cease to extinct, lived together in harmony. This empire is known as the lost city or the city of vermins (second world). SODOME empire: a dangerous place where a man eating demons (rogues), bandits, thieves, soul-eater demons (noble demons) dwells at night to hunt human flesh which a big threats to Verminians. This is known as the the sin city or city of outlaws (third world).

*Ranking Day*

It was such a lively occasion where people gathered together to witness the remarkable event in the history of Exile empire. The top 10 sorcerers who excels were about to announce. Sumire was present that day, standing firmly exudes with an aura of power and dominance. The only top female with exceptional talent and beauty. Her eyes are foreboding yet hypnotic. With her cold and penetrating stare, enough to allure her nemesis into the hell of fire. Cold as ice, fiery soul, detached but gentle in nature, Sumire is an epitome of beauty, who possess the power of four elemental elements at the same time: water, earth fire and air. Her unique ability and personality makes her belong to the top rare sorcerers, holds the power of life and death, able to eradicate her enemies into dust, nowhere to be found.

Sumire, who was silently reminiscing the past ranking event where she get the second place.. how she was rejoicing when she make herself into the top makes her so much delighted. "Now, I, Damon, the Supreme ruler of Paristine officially declares the top 10 elite warriors who dedicated their hearts and soul to protect the Exile empire...Sumire, from the Southern Niles!" as she began to take a step...the crowds began to go wild, uproars tremendously. Admiring these aspiring heroes, with their eyes full of hopes and dreams like the fortress that stands still waiting for the wreaking havoc to fall.

Chattering are all over the place. "She got the first place, spectacular! I really do admire her, she may come off as cold but she is kind, a warm-hearted person.." a middle aged woman who expresses her deep admiration towards the enthralling maiden.

" Yeah, the way she carry herself is truly admirable, she inspire me in so many different ways.." a young lad said. "I heard she is destined to be the next ruler of Paristine..", suddenly, a farmer jumps in the conversation, make a small talk.

"Some says she is the heiress of Damon..", a man around mid-twenties said. "That's unlikely to be true, she came from Caste Leone, the most powerful clan in Exile empire who have the ability to control the power of Atmos...", a weenie young woman said, unveils the apprehending truth about the famous families in their empire..."but she is qualified for the position though.."

Sumire let the gossips slip into the air, wearing her famous stoic face as she make her way towards Damon who hold the badge smiling, mischievously. She received the badge with full of honor.

"Step forward, Maddox of Airenfall!..", the crowd cries in joy and excitement as he walked gracefully towards the hall, slowly approaching Sumire who's standing silently beside Damon.

"Hi my future wife to be, congratulation being in the first top!.." Maddox shamelessly said.

"Back off, fucker!.." Sumire sneered at him.

"Oh my bad, you still look the same, I feel sorry for you that you are a mistake like the world just made a typo, I'm so sorry that the stars aligned and made you such a psycho..." Sumire just looked at him in complete disgust.

"...of course I was just kidding, I'm such a good guy being considerate to you giving my place (first top).." he playfully said. "I'm not after the rank, I'm always after your head.." Sumire answered sarcastically .

" I miss you baddie, be my wife, and I'll give you plenty of children.." He said hopefully.

"No one miss you, if you were my husband, I will serve your meat to our children..", Sumire answered unemotionally.

"Oh, c'mon! Give me a hug!.." Maddox continuously being persistent to her.

"I'll save my first and last hug for you if you were 6 feet below on earth..." Sumire, smiled mockingly.

"Oh come on! I still want you to warm up my bed, wife!.." Maddox still teasing her.

"Sure, I'm gonna warm you up by setting you on fire..". Sumire, this time flaunting her blazing yet destructive fire into his face.

Maddox, the famous blabber playboy in town, the plastic yet a good friend who always teases Sumire but secretly likes her, the one who got the second place. He possess the ability to manipulate things through his mind without touching them. Maddox came from Turner clan, considered to be one of the most dangerous man not to be mess with despite of his playful nature. He can turn everything into pieces, Maddox really live up his name.

"Calib of Griffindell.." Damon continuously announcing the top 10th until reach its end. Shortly, gave his oath to the people.

"I, Damon, the Ex-general of Exile and the current ruler of Paristine empire. Congratulates you, the top 10 elites (Seltèn vermins), I express my deepest gratitude to all of you, I admire your dedication, putting your life into risk for the sake of the people and the serenity of Exile empire. Am looking forward for your achievement in the future. To all the residents of Exile, I vow my life to protect you with all cost, providing you with full security and maintain the balance between the empires. You will lived under my sight and protection, keep the Exile safe, a harmonious place to lived in."

The crowds are jumping, the roars of hopeless become even more defeaning, filled of felicity and happiness like there's no tomorrow. Desperation is visible in their eyes and written in their faces, believing that there's still hope for the Verminians to live on despite of decreasing number of their population due to human eating monster who hunts them down. Damon, gave them assurance that they will be safe, together with the elites, hoping they will gave them the wings of freedom.

A small suburb outside the Exile empire. In a haven, Narco secretly meet an official from the Sodome Empire, wearing his playful smirk, he gave the book of SIOUX, a book where Damon's bloodline lies. Riss, the officer came from Sodome suspiciously look at him but later took the book on his palm. The weather is behaving strangely, and the surrounding suddenly become darkened as depressingly dark painted in the sky, the unexpected turbulence of cold wind lashed out causing the scarf of Narco to blown away into the midair. His black eyes gave the chilling stare as it fixed on Riss, smiling innocently.

"Just make sure this isn't fake..", Riss hissed.

Narco laughing bodaciously, catching the attention of Riss's guards outside the haven. They were about to attack him, but suddenly the sky gave birth of black roses, emitting stinky smell. Many Riss's escorts has been caught up, its poisonous odor make living species will started to rot and die. Narco is serious this time, his dark face caused them shivered in fear.

"Believing it or not is all up to you, I did my part and so, you do what you must..." Narco replied uninterestingly while playing his finger.

Riss looked at him in displeasure while handing over the Forbidden Book to him. He just stared at it unemotionally, didn't even bothered to take a glance what is inside, he just flick at the spot of his finger, made the book vanished into the thin air. Riss and his cohorts was startled yet amaze of what he did, Narco just chuckled while turning his way out of the room.

"Can I ask about something before you go?.." Riss asked in hesitant.

Narco disappointedly turn around and face him, let out a gasp, as he can already sense what he is about to asked.

"Why do you want to betray him? ..betrayal will do no good to you.."

Narco looked at him in full disgrace while mockingly laugh at him.

"I am just bored.." Narco simply said, recalling Damon's displeased face looking down at him. The day where he make feel him like a runt meant to be stepped on smashed off.

"Whatever...." Riss's last word before leaving the place together with his escorts, no traces of them left behind. Narco was left alone, the arrogant and his playful smile earlier was turned into sorrow once more. He is a master of faking his emotion. The loneliness that consumed him many years ago was still engraved in his heart and forever will be. He managed to live his life living in Gehenna. He flick his finger into the air, made the book reappeared. He stared at it once again, unhappily.

"If I ever fulfill what you needed , will you grant what I truly desire?". Narco whispered into nothingness as he gradually flipping every pages of the book absentmindedly.

Far away, outside the capital, facing South, stood a thousand years old gigantic tree in glorious. Spring is near to come. Sumire standing in magnificence at the utmost part of the tree wearing her long dark red lacey gown, flaunting her skin as white as snow, silently watching the breathtaking scenery can be seen below her, vividly. The meadows were filled with cattles and sheeps resting at the North side, ranges of mountains majestically rising towards the sky at the West side, the seagulls kissing the vast ocean, the chirping lovely birds gives off a wonderful sight. Sumire, with no traces of fear can be seen in her beautiful face, her depressing dark eyes were fixed, admiring the alluring scene witnessing the sun setting slowly over the Eastern horizon. The cold breeze gently blew the strands of her long black straight hair beautifully, she's like a living mortal goddess that just descended to the earth.

"How'd you find me here?..." Sumire asked in annoying tone.

The butler bow as a sign of respect. "Signorina Sumire, milady, I deeply apologize for rudely barging in without your permission, but your presence is highly needed in the Manor.." The butler said apologetically.

Sumire have known already how she was found even the butler do not have the guts to say it to her. It was Narco. She gracefully land on the ground, frowning. By then, without a word, she left the butler and make her way to see her long bestfriend Narco.

*Flashback*

It was gloomy night 15 years ago, at the edge where the sky meets the sea, the full moon shines so bright . A well-known château stand proudly on the cliff facing the serene ocean, hosted a party exclusively for elites clan. The sound of the breeze is soothing as the wild fireflies light up the whole place. Sumire, at her 6 years of age, sitting in the golden terrace watching the panoramic views while sipping her glass of juice. Her rosy cheeks glows at night, her eyes were emotionless matching her long wavy eyelashes, wearing her adorable dress with sandals, she's just like a walking living doll. Suddenly, a mysterious kid around her age wearing an elegant suite caught her attention. His presence shrouded in mystery. He was alone and no one seemed to accompanied him. He was about to cast off from the place, but his name was written in the invitation list. The guardsmen start asking about his family origin yet he just answered them in creepy smile, void of emotions. His ancestor is quite unknown.

He walked in, like there is nothing that just happened, approaching towards Sumire slowly with a big smile painted on his face.

"The moon sure is beautiful tonight.. I can smell death around it." Narco said jovially.

"Yeah, stunning.." Sumire answered unemotionally, while looking up the vast cosmos.

"Have you ever being nice to a stranger?.." Narco curiously looked at her.

"I'm being nice to you, have I stabbed you? No." Sumire answered uninterestingly.

"I have a candy, I stole it from the toddler when I was my way here.. I saw his face shifted from smiling to crying...and it was beautiful.." Narco said like a sort of psycho.

Sumire just stared right into his soul, long enough to make him feel uncomfortable. She accepted the candy and later on eat it like she didn't bothered if it was came from a thief. Narco was surprised knowing that there would be someone who didn't bother to ask where he came from and unexpectedly, accepted his gift without any hesitation even after knowing it was a stolen candy. By then, Narco believed that this little doll can be his PLAYMATE for tonight . On the other hand, Sumire didn't even care if who she be with, as long as he vibes with her nothing else that matters.

The two became comfortable with each other. Like they found each other's a twin. They ended up their night by spending much talking.

"Narco is my name...can you be my girl-friend, Ms. Doll?.." He said

"Sumire...Sure! ". She said without any reluctance and shake their hands like they have an accord.

*Present*

After arriving at the Palace Library, her eyes immediately scan the huge shelves occupying almost the whole place looking for the specific person. And there, near the window she saw Narco sitting and calmly reading a book. She quickly fled towards him and pinch his right ear. He was taken aback. Knowing his attitude, Narco was the only person who know her that much even her hiding place, so he surely the one who told the butler. What could the butler have given to him so that he would spill out where she was hiding?. Sumire began to wonder, knowing that Narco would not say anything without having something in return.

"You didn't even go on ranking day and here you are spilling my place that supposed to be a secret! How co--". Sumire's furious voice echoing every inch of the corner. People around them were afraid, starting to leave the place.

Narco raised a quizzical eyebrow. He did not let her finished what she was about to say, looking at her intently. He was serious this time.

"I know you may misunderstood me..." Narco paused a little, facing Sumire this time with his solemn manner. "...I did told him where you were hiding because I know where exactly it is, but not because he gave me this rare wine... ", showing the wine out of nowhere. "I'm a man of morals, you know.." Narco sit comfortably in the broken chair where he fell off, while continuously scanning the book he was holding.

"Traitor!.." Sumire hissed angrily towards him while holding herself not to destroy the whole place.

Narco sighed heavily while looking at her helplessly. " You must clarify the agreement with your family, not all the time you can escape away from them..."

Sumire looked at him apathetically, the fire in her blood embers in her eyes. Her aura became even more darkened as she stood calmly in front of him.

"Escape, huh?. What about you my dearest friend, how long do you plan to run away from everything? How long will you be playing like that? Hiding like a scaredy feline for the rest of your life?...pathetic...".

Narco slammed the book shut as if he did not like what Sumire had said. Sumire felt his irritation through his smile, she knows she hit him real hard. A two-faced person like him is easy to trigger knowing that it would be the last thing he would like to hear from anyone. Narco slowly rose up and face her, smiling psychotically.

The earth beneath the place began to tremble, shocks climbing towards above the ground. The sky outside started to dim and become misty cold. The clashes of auras light up the whole place. Narco's black tyrian purple and Sumire's sullen dark-crimson blood auras terrifyingly radiates the whole Palace Library. Large files of books went flying and scattered around them. The lights were off and all broken. The gravitation pulled more causing debris to fall. The wind blows wickedly, creating chaos inside the library. Narco stood, smiling towards Sumire's emotionless stare.

"Did I hit the Achilles' heel, am I?...". Sumire smirked, looking at him pathetically.

Narco stood still wearing a smile with full of irritation. "You're getting more and more nasty, I like it...".

As the things getting more serious, the head of the librarian approached and drove them away to avoid any more commotion and havoc. As the two step out the library, the rumbling stopped, the sun slightly come to shine as the thick mist covered the place gradually disappeared. Everything went back to normal. Someone from the empire summoned Sumire, the current General of Exile, named General ALISAR.

Sumire make her way to the empire which 5 kilometers away from Palace Library, wearing her unusual attire, with her cold-blooded looks, she gracefully walked like a devil queen at the surface of the earth and Hell is her home. Her intimidating aura makes people to bend down their knees to the ground. Her authority is way much stronger than men. Sumire discerned a figure approaching through the fog, silently following her all the way from the library.

" why did you followed me all the way up here?..", Sumire stopped while her lifeless eyes rolling.

No matter how much Narco wanted to conceal his presence from her, Sumire can always sense him even without looking at him directly. Sumire believed that she is way more powerful than him when it comes to magic, but there is something about him offs, an ability that enables him to conceal his presence and magic into nothingness. Only her among the top 10 elite sorcerers can perceive his ability even if her eyes were closed. Narco suddenly appeared out of nowhere, smiled at her creepily.

"Aren't you gonna tell me why the hell you are following me?...if you denied it, why do you still have to conceal your presence...tsss...". Sumire just hissed.

"I just want to ruin your day even more.." Narco whistle into the thin air like a scumbag. He completely aware that he cannot hide away from her, he just want to annoy her to death. "....kidding..". He continued.

"I wanna make up for what I did, so am here to help on your mission.." Narco sincerely approached to her.

Sumire just looked at him, frowning. "Whatever! Make yourself useful then, do not be a burden to us..". Narco walked beside her and they headed together to the Palace like nothing seriously happened back at the Palace Library.

CASTELLON DE VANIA

They arrive at the grandiose meeting hall. Sumire and Narco went in. The palace is extravagant. Huge chandeliers were hanging at every corner. Golden stairways were seen at the entrance. Seven thick, square towers piercing the sky and are connected by fairly low, thick walls made of blue stone.

Tall windows are scattered generously across the walls in an asymmetric pattern where the rays of the sun genuinely light the rooms. A vast gate with great metal doors, a regular bridge and large crenellations guards the only easy way across the river and it's the only way in, at least without taking down the castle walls. The fort of stone built on blood and bone could talk, beg for vengeance. The whispers of ages heard, tales of lives lost and deaths of agony no one should ever feel. The ghost of the past remains at the heart of the castle.

Trees grow close to the castle gates and provide it with valuable wood for all sorts of purposes. This castle has clearly stood the test of time and its inhabitants are intend on making sure it stays that way for ages to come. At the huge hall, Sumire open the door as she calmly walks towards the table where the high ranking officials of Exile Empire gathered together to talked about the massacre of the nearby village.

"Sumire, I want you and your troops to deal the crisis happened at Morye Village, one day ago....", General Alisar looked at her with full of authority. "...according to the report, the village were attacked by some group of unknown bandits and brutally kills most of the people in the middle of the night. Find and murder them, leave no one alive...that's an order!.". The General said in serious tone.

"I will, sire!...". Sumire said, her eyes and voice were void of emotions.

Narco, after hearing the mission where Sumire is in-charge, he left the place without a word. He went back to his old, abandoned mansion, a manor that cannot be called someone's home.

Each top 10 elite forces has their own troops. Sumire, summons her comrades, a group of 5 skilled assassins' with normal magic ability, but excels in the field of combat fighting. Their group was named X-troop. Sumire and her cohorts began to prepare to depart.

On the other side. Narco silently read the Forbidden book around the corner, right hand ****** in pocket, sitting near the cold chimney. Living such grand and empty, dank with small windows, surrounded by its own filth. The mansion gloomily stood in the middle of nowhere with glamorous yet deadly plants enticing gloriously around it. It was someone's home but later was abandoned by the owner. Narco currently occupying the mansion out of shattered stone, ever since he was banished from his own home.

As he was reading the book suddenly, something fell out of the room. Narco didn't have the time to react when his vision started losing his sight, wanders in the darkness and at the same time he failed to use his magic. He heard footsteps slowly approaching towards him.

"Who are you?..". Narco asked stood still, never seems to be afraid. No one answered.

"Who the hell are you?.." Narco asked once again. Only the sound of footsteps echoing the place. Not less than a minute he was hanging into the air, someone was choking him tightly. "Is it a vampire?" Narco's instinct tells him.

He was dragged out of the room by unknown force. He was brutally beaten, like death were almost on his palm. Heavy punches tears most of his limbs into pieces, a metallic smell of blood lingers in the air. The garden of wild flora painted with crimson blood.

"I think I overdone it. I forgot you were weak...". A deep lovely voice whispered into his ear.

"You filthy bastard, what do you want from me...". Narco's fainting voice were almost not be heard.

"Do not dare go with her.". A mysterious lady said and disappeared like nothing happened, he was left there bathe with blood.

What is going on...

To be continued...

Note:

CASTELLON DE VANIA - a palace where most important events such as meetings, selections, executions and many more were held.

8 years ago

A small village far away from the city filled with forlorn and misery, a place of fallen dreams. A song of hopeless left in the streets, voices of the broken can be heard. The houses were solitary and melancholy old, there was a young boy, sky full of stars in his eyes dreaming to become a top hunter sorcerer to save the humankind of his hometown. He wants to protect their village that faces the boundary between Sodome and Exile. The surveyors from the Exile was rarely to come by to do some survey since it is a forgotten village. Help is impossible and may out of reach. The young boy wanted to be place at the top famous sorcerers so that he can tell the situation of their place which is often infiltrated by unknown bandits.

But one day, the young fella trains himself in the middle of the forest far from his home. As he focused on training, he heard people crying from afar. He stopped. By then, he decided to searched, follow the trails of cries. When he had determined its exact location, he immediately went to it. He ended up in dilapidated house, before he could get inside, he was greeted by a scenario he would never forget.

PRESENT

The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Dawn had come. Sumire and his troops began to take their journey without Narco's presence, since he was not able to show up at the right time and place.

"Captain, are you sure we will not wait for Narco even a little bit?". Zake said. Sumire's trusted cohort.

Sumire just stared Zake for a long time, not bothered to say a word, and then she climbed up to her white pegasus and began to fly. Zake and the others followed her riding their pegasus.

Meanwhile, crossing across the vast sky..

"Preston, could you tell me the result in detailed, regarding the task I assigned to you.". Sumire said while her cold gaze fixed on the horizon.

Preston gulped as he faced her. He let out a small amount of breathe and start discussing it to her.

"The place that we are about to investigate now is an isolated area and was rarely surveyed by our hunters, since it is forgotten village. Bandits often infiltrated this place and stole their goods and other valuable things, to cause havoc and humiliation but they never harmed or killed someone from this village. This is the very first time that people in this village were almost annihilate at once..". Preston said, pity were visible on his ocean-green eyes.

Zake, Preston and the others felt bad for the villagers after hearing the situation as they continue heading their destination. Suddenly, the temperature and the wind behaving strangely, giving them a chilling vibes. As they getting nearer, bizarre voices were heard. The troops become even more wary when a misty fog comes out of nowhere from below, piercing winds whispered, tells them to go back. The flying horses they were riding stopped from up above.

"Eerie...", a gorgeous white-haired Finn said.

"Even the horses were afraid..", a handsome dark-haired young man named Grant said.

"Is this mission really that dangerous?..", Rowan said, a small but terrible one from the group and has a scratch on his left eyebrow.

"Shall we continue to--"

Before Preston could even finished what he was going to say, Sumire glared at him. The cold blow of wind earlier was even more colder than the strange mist surrounds them. Sumire controls the temperature and the wind speed this time.

" Tell me what is on your mind. Backing-out is not your option. The troop did not recruit someone to raise a coward. Tell me, are you afraid of death? If not, i will let you feel it". Sumire's cold tone freezing them.

The troops began to tremble as they feel the icy rage of their Captain, her blank stare seems cold yet filled with fire, the thing they never felt before. Thinking that Sumire will be the cause of their early deaths.

"Pardon me, Captain.."

Preston apologetically said, humbly lowered his head down to give her respect. Sumire just ignore it and commands them to follow her.

"I will lead you straight to hell."

Sumire and his troops continue their voyage to the forgotten village named Morye. Before they could get in there, they will pass through first the Garden of Guerrier.

"Captain, horses are not allowed to pass here, we need to walk it in..", Zake said while standing beside his black stallion and looking around.

The group nodded, Preston and the others find safety haven for their horses. As they step in the Garden of Guerrier, they were greeted the difference of reality and this place in just a glance.

Outside the Garden of Guerrier, a celestial fireball in the sky brightens up the entire place meanwhile inside the Garden, it is night time and its crescent crimson moon glimmers in the dark gloomy sky. There seems to be a world within the world. Sumire was alerted when she sense something unusual presence lurking around the place which doesn't seem to have a heartbeat.

(Note: Before Sumire and her troop enters the place, Sumire activated her TROUVER, an ability to locate her opponents 15 kilometers away from her. This ability specifies what type of enemy she will about to encounter)

Sumire stopped. Her comrades looked at her with a bewildered expression.

" There is a beast going on rampage, heading in our way....". Sumire paused detecting the exact location of the enemy. "...5 kilometers from here...".

Before her group could even react, a 13 headed with 21 horns golden beast appeared in their sight looking at them intently. The First Beast welcomed them.

The FIRST BEAST is one of the those dominant primordial legendary beasts, ferocious and untamed. This beast lives thousands of years. No one can summon them easily and rarely was seen. There's no one from Exile empire can summon this kind of magical creature. Sumire wondered why this beast dwells in this place. By then, she remembered that the Garden of Guerrier is the graveyard of One of the Seven Princes of Underworld, which Guerrier is one of them was buried here after he was defeated by his archenemy.

Finn and Grant unconsciously created a barrier to protect them, while Sumire was left standing outside ready to confront the beast in front of them.

"Who wake me up..." a loud, thunderous voice roaring across the vast darkness. The beast asked.

No one answered from the troop. All their eyes were fixed on Sumire who was looking at the west side.

"Him...". Sumire answered, pointed her hand out.

They all looked at the direction she was pointing out yet there is no one seems to be there. The First Beast release a huge cannon ball of fire towards them, setting the place into hell of fire. Sumire immediately bending the earth beneath them, creating a huge thick wall made out of mud and stone to protect themselves from the anguish of the beast.

"I never lied. It is him..". Sumire said in serious tone and pointing out again the same direction, and still no one stood there. "..Ah, he is on his way, you have not seen him yet..". Sumire continuously said.

The First Beast calmed down after hearing what she said, but suddenly the earth's crust upheaving, shaking the ground by odd force causing them to lose their balance, Sumire was aware it was not her power.

" Who scoundrels dared to enter the Garden of Guerrier..", a frightening voice echoed around.

Just a few minutes later a Royal White Demon appeared, dressed in regal. He had a unicorn horn on his forehead and three poisonous tails moving voluntarily behind his back. His looks demands authority, his crimson eyes that arose pure malevolence, mocking down on them.

Sumire's comrades and the giant beast were pulled from the ground due to extreme pressure carried by the Royal White Demon, who wants them to kneel after him.

Sumire remain standing still, resisting the pressure the Demon brought to them. Sumire never think of giving up even she is already exhausted, she is one hella stubborn and has a strong will, she will never kneel down on someone who is weaker than Damon whom she admired the most.

"You really are strong, Sumire..", the Demon step closer to her.

Sumire just smiled. She totally agreed on what he said. "..and that arrogance of yours will kill you today or...someday...", he holds her chin upward, leaning towards her, touching the tip of their noses.

In just a matter of seconds, the Demon vanished into the thin air, faster than the speed of light. He touched the barrier that Finn and Grant have made and was like a brittle glass, it was destroyed into pieces. Rowan and Zake tried to attacked him yet they cannot hold or grasp him even a single strand of his hair. He was too fast. Faster than the blink of their eyes. Sumire just observe them, silently reading the situation.

"By the way, Blanc is my name."

The demon approached her, he stretched out his hand to her, Sumire accepted it without knowing his true intention.

"I want your soul." Blanc said unemotionally. Before Sumire could grab her hand back it was already cut off.

"Ah...you made my right hand cut off so cleanly..", Sumire said lifelessly as she lifted, waving her broken hand, watching the abundant metallic smell of maroon fluid glistened in the dark and is now painted the ground.

Preston, and the others gasped from afar, taken by surprised. They approached immediately to their Captain to lend a help yet Sumire raised her left hand, restraining them from coming to her.

"This is no longer your job, leave it to me..". Sumire calmly said, making sure they will not worry her. They immediately back off, take a few more steps away from her.

"You'd better create a stronger barrier to protect yourselves. Do not waste your energy and blood in this place. This is not even part of our mission." Sumire added without giving them a glance.

They followed on what she said. Grant and Finn combining their magic ability, created an eminent domain to protect them from possible severe outcome of the battle, an air of serene transparent silver ball made out of water and a flash of green light enswathe around them, gradually healing their bruises and wounds.

"Captain, we are just right here if you need a help.", Preston said, his eyes were full of concern and trust at the same time, hoping that she will asked for their help. Sumire turned around and give them a comfortable smile before facing the baleful soulles demon who was now smirking at her.

"Oh, are you sure to fight me all by yourself, hmm?", the Demon hummed while looking at her sweetly.

Sumire just stared at him coldly. In just a few seconds Sumire vanished from his sight. There is no trace of her was found, even her scent just like vapor it was gone into the thin air. She completely disappeared right before he could blink his eyes.

The demon was amused. He calmly waited for her to reappeared again while his eyes were close but her presence still nowhere to found. The demon grinned, this time he activated his hidden ability.

"Farmer's sphere.." the Demon said wearing his nasty smile.

A medium silver sphere appeared above him. It is not the kind of sphere that covers the whole area. It was like a map, pointing out someone's location. It has mainly two dots: black and red, used to determine the heartbeat of someone, mortal or immortal being in its exact location. He was grinning from ear to ear, when he finally spotted her. He immediately went to the point of the dots locating Sumire in the sphere, when he was about to catch Sumire another dot of her showing in his sphere.

"I don't care how many more of her clone will show up in the sphere, i will kill all of them..", the demon murmured himself.

By then, he began to chased after her, following every dots of her showing up in the sphere. He was like catching after her shadows.

"Oh Sumire, I didn't know you love playing hide and seek. What are you playing at?". The demon shouted, as he keep tracing her clones one by one he sees inside the sphere.

"Hide and Seek, isn't it obvious..", Sumire replied in the middle of nowhere. Her voice seems to be hidden in emptiness.

"Huh, I see...'kay then, I'll play along with you..". The demon smirked. "This is getting more exciting...".

Minutes have passed, as he was following the location of Sumire showing up in the sphere, he wasn't aware that Sumire secretly creating a trap in the sphere he made of, only then did he realize that game he was in when Sumire suddenly stopped appearing. Sumire's locations showing the sphere form the demon's trap and the golem she made connects it. And before Blanc could step out, every lines was connected. Sumire suddenly appeared and pushed him to the center of what appeared Demon's trap.

The Sumire he followed earlier formed a Demon's trap, a remarkable 5 pointed triangular versatile star symbol that absorbs dark energy and imprisoned any kind of demons. Sumire cautiously made a trap. In order to lure the White demon, she created a Golem. As he keep on chasing her, the Golem keeps following him creating invisible lines, with Sumire's faint magic it can easily connecting each lines where it stops to create an infamous Demon's trap.

"You're IT, Blanc..", Sumire said. The Demon just grinned while being trap inside with no chance of getting out.

"I am deeply impressed by your small trick but this is boring, I was expecting something...beyond thrill.. ". The White Demon arrogantly said.

Sumire smiled at him like some sort of lunatic. "This is the easy way for me to finish this pointless battle right away...and you are not even part of our mission..", she said. " I already told you, we won't waste our time and blood on you...you're not even special. ", Sumire added.

The demon was even more surprised when Sumire raised her severed hand which suddenly healed as if nothing had happened.

"What the--oh..."

Sumire disappointedly look at the demon. "It wasn't even cut by half in the first place..". Sumire looking at her hand that was back in normal. "The one you saw earlier was just an illusion", she added while mockingly looked at him. "I meant to do that to let your guard down and when that happens you will not notice the golem I made that tails you all along..". Sumire continuously said while approaching him and whispered to him. "I am always 3 steps ahead, Cain.." The demon's eyes widened as he looked at her.

"It is taboo for the demons to reveal their names. They will never reveal their real name outside their world. When you used the farmer's sphere, only one demon I knew had the ability to activate it, and that was Cain..", Sumire looked at the astonished demon in front of her. "And even confirmed when I said your name Blanc, I did not even feel the curse magic attached to your name, it only means one thing, your name is not Blanc but Cain. Your expression confirmed it all...". Sumire added, boredom were visible in her eyes.

The demon looked at her, and was now in reverie, the face of defeat painted on him. Sumire's colleagues approached them.

"If he is Cain he is likely to come here.". Preston said.

"In this Garden, the historic battle between the demon twins, Guerrier and Krieger took place. Guerrier who soon became the third God was defeated by Krieger and this became the third God and was crowned as God of war. This is also the place where Krieger buried Guerrier ". Preston added.

"And as far as I know, Cain murdered his brother Abel out of jealousy.." Finn said looking at the demon intently.

"So what are you planning to do in here? What's your plan?." Rowan said, who was now standing next to him.

Instead of answering them, Cain looked at them with sardonic laugh, almost hiding the cold glint in his eyes, it was creepy, mocking and unsettling. Sumire stared at him in disgust.

"First Beast I think he wants to claim your Master's grave, if I were you I would eat him."

The First Beast did not like what he heard from Sumire, since Cain could no longer use his power because he was in Demon's trap, the First beast swallowed him effortlessly and disappeared immediately.

After the incident in the garden of Guerrier, Sumire and his comrades continued their journey to Morye Village, unaware that someone had secretly followed them.
