Chapter 183: Little Puppets

"Yami-chan! You scared him too much! I told him to call me that! Why do you have to be such a meanie weenie!?" Hikari yelled, taking control before Yami's fists made contact with the unconscious Ren's face.

"Well, he made the mistake of saying it when I was in control even after I warned him! I'm not weird like you! I don't want to be addressed like that when I am clearly superior!"

"You switched so abruptly that he had no clue it was you in control! And what's so bad about how I want to be called? Are you being a meanie weenie to me too Yami-chan?"

"My god Hikari if I could kill you I would have done so a long, long time ago! I don't know how I've lived with you for so long!"

"Hey! I know you don't really mean that Yami-chan! You just have a bad temper and blurt things out without actually meaning them. We're sisters after all! No! We are even closer! Hehe!"

"Th-"

It seemed like the girl who was now known to them as HikariYami was having a conversation with herself once more, sitting from on top of a tree.

Attacking them when they appeared to be distracted seemed to not be a viable option since they had just easily dodged the last time they attempted.

So, their best course of action would be to wait and see their opponent's moves to analyze their power and know their level of strength. They were at a severe disadvantage since their ability had already been revealed, and even if that were not the case they were almost certain that the enemy had prior knowledge of their abilities and levels of strength.

So, they used the opportunity that their opponent had given them to report the situation to Moby in a quick and concise way just in case he was fighting and as to not worry him about their late arrival.

Moby had informed them that the watches that were used to alert the school about dead students had been disabled for the next 2 hours and that he allowed them to use their demon energy as long as they can ensure that they could kill everyone in sight as for the information to not leak out.

The order to kill everyone came with no resistance from either Alex or Abby. Alex definitely knew that some gang members could possibly be innocent people that were just forced into joining but at that point he could not care less, saving Ray was his top priority and anyone who came in his way was the enemy.

Yet, they both decided that keeping their demon energy a secret and using it only as a last resort seemed to be the best option for them.

"Fine! You win! I apologize!" Yami's voice of defeat resounded in the air.

"Hehe, this means that I get to take over for the rest of the fight! It's only fair, isn't it? I'll take that as your token of apology!"

"What kind of bullshit are you spouting! This is not some sort of game!"

"Pleeeease?" She asked with over-exaggerated sad puppy eyes.

"F-fine! But only this once!"

"You promise!?"

"I know I am definitely gonna regret this but sure! Go ahead! I promise! Those 2 are all yours!"

"Yayy! Thanks, Yami-chan! You're the best!"

White HikariYami clapped her hands together, her rosy cheeks going up meaning that she was definitely smiling from under the long coat covering her mouth.

Abby and Alex had just finished their conversation with Moby and now instinctively prepared themselves for anything that she might throw their way.

*Snap*

"Go! Show yourselves my little toys!" She said in a playful tone, seemingly talking to nobody.

If anything she seemed to be bluffing, Alex had already sensed all around the area and he was not able to feel a single living presence.

Alex was fully expecting to be fighting either mirages or illusions like when Abby had struck her only for her to disappear. That was what he had assumed her ability to be.

And now that he knew that information, he felt confident in his knight vision to be able to discern an illusion from the real deal.

However, to his surprise, around 30 people, all wearing completely black, their eyes not even able to be seen through the slits of their helmets appeared and surrounded them out of nowhere, each person comfortably sitting on the branch of a tree.

Alex immediately went wide-eyed as he stared at all the armoured people around him that he had not sensed at all

'What the fuck is going on Alex? I thought you said that there were only them 2! Are they illusions?' Abby said using mind-link, gripping her scythe more tightly than before, making Alex reply almost as confused as she was.

'They are not illusions I can tell you that much… I have no clue how they were able to stay undetected until now…'

'Well, that doesn't really matter now does it? All it means is that we have to beat the shit out of them to get to the girl right?' Abby said with a smile on her face, she wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, the faster she takes out her opponent, the faster she could reach and help her lord.

"Now! Go attack them my little dolls!" She said, putting her right arm out with an open palm in an extremely dramatic way.

Without even saying a single word, the 30 people that could only be described as assassins jumped out from the trees in unison, almost like they were a perfectly trained, unified force, completely in sync.

That fact alone gave Alex a bad feeling, it most likely meant that they must be of a respectable level of strength, and not some random throwaway low rankers.

This helped Alex make up his mind, choosing to activate his demon powers now rather than later.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his spear tightly gripping his right hand.

All of a sudden, flashes of different colours appeared and glowed all around him one by one in a split second before fading away. Red, green, blue, yellow, purple and a few more were among those colours, each one signifying a different change in the body,

Extra speed, strength, energy regeneration, defence, perception, and many more were part of those increases. However, his powers did have a few major downsides, the first was that it had a set time limit. So far, due to his lacking control, that time limit varied from anything as low as 1 minute up to as high as 10 minutes, that was why it was a risky move.

The second and most important downside was that so far, the only way he knew how to activate his strengthening skills was to cause damage to himself, both internally and externally. Alex was by no means a masochist and did not find any pleasure with self-harm, however, for power, he was more than willing to pay the price as he thought it was well worth it for what he gains out of it.

That along with his Knight vision that allowed him even greater vision, perception, and sensing powers than eyes of sin, that was all that Alex had so far discovered about his new demon powers.

Unlike his peers who seemed to have learned, controlled, and picked up on new demon skills with ease did not apply to him at all. Controlling his demon energy was a big challenge, taking several days while both Abby and Jayden only needed a few minutes. And his powers did not come naturally to him, he had to try and fail, experimenting with new things, hurting himself immensely in the process until he found an appropriate skill.

He would be lying if he said that he wasn't jealous of his friends but that only meant that he had to work harder to discover and perfect his abilities. It was not very different from how he had first learned his lightning ability, although it was admittedly much easier to learn and pick up on, and definitely less painful, although part of that could have been attributed to his family's teachings and guidance.

He cloaked himself in his usual lightening, enhancing all of his attributes even further and struck towards the first enemy that came his way.

As he struck him with all his might, he pierced and cracked right through their armour, sending them flying and breaking a nearby tree.

Anyone looking at the encounter from the outside would have thought nothing weird from it but it was far from the truth, making Alex extremely skeptical.

The armour felt like it was hollow and despite the clear, immense amount of damage he had caused, his opponent had not even made a single sound, no cry, grunt, or scream. It was very unusual, even the most trained of soldiers make sounds when being fatally wounded but that person made no such sound.

However, before he had the time to think further, he was attacked once more from his back, making him thrust his spear from its blunt backside, striking the attacker in the stomach before turning around and punching them in the face.

6 attackers showed up from above, making Abby open her palm out, blasting them straight out of the sky with immense heat, some of her excess flames managed to catch some of the grass and trees on fire, making her put them out with nothing but thought due to her increasing control over her ability.

3 attackers came from behind, making Alex swiftly dodge back, striking and changing his lightning through several attackers' armour that seemed to be a great conductor.

Swirling her flaming scythe while using it to manoeuvre at the same time, Abby managed to swiftly eliminate various enemies, any enemy that was unfortunate enough to be in her path was immediately melted and blown away, only managing to at times land a few insignificant strikes if they were lucky.

Together, with great teamwork that seemed almost too natural, they managed to quickly take out and overpower all of the attackers that were all well below both of their levels despite their great number advantage.

"Hey! What are you doing! We should just quickly take them out and get it over with! Why are you just waiting around! This is no time for games!"

"Hehe, you promised that I could be the one to take them both so I decided that I can finally have some fun without you ruining it!"

"You little!"

"Don't be like that! You should loosen up! It's no big deal, Nagsy and Jasy will definitely win their fights and I am guaranteed to win too so if the outcome is the same why not just enjoy ourselves while doing it! Hehe!"

"So much for your fun! Your troops are already defeated!"

"Oh! Wowie! They are much stronger than I expected! Time to up the difficulty a little and see how they handle it," She said in a casual, playful tone as she stared down towards Alex and Abby that were staring right back at them with more confidence than before.
