Chapter 17 - THE BEAST'S DEFEAT

Sophia's POV

I went through the white, after giving my goodwill to Lu and Amy, i call her Amy now for no specific reason at all other than to express how deep out bond had gotten, I walked in first and swiftly leaving them behind, i had no time to waste, i had to defeat the second year and quickly go back to sourcing ways on how to defeat the enemy at hand, the Demons. Luckily with a few spells i knew i reckoned that bringing the opponent down would be light work for me , i am afterall a Powerful witch. 

With my sharp pin- which i normally kept to draw blood for my spells- ready in my palms, i entered the white vast space, i noticed that it was quite similar to Lilith's. 

 Non expectantly and suddenly as the Portal closed behind me with a zap, i was hit by something as heavy as a boulder , very hard , very painful and powerful the pressure threatening to knock me out, next thing i knew I had flew across the room flinged and yanked by this great force, which i couldn't find the source by the way, i struggled but i managed to stand up then yet again i was hit again i spiraled and crashed to another side of the room my body in pains, 

'What in the world?' i hissed, my left side aching, then suddenly i felt rumbling on the floor where i laid, something was coming and it was coming fast i needed to do something before i got killed, i noticed that the pin i was holding was long lost in my struggles but i was steps ahead anyways , cause within my hair which i tied in a large bun which was disfigured now, there was a pin holding it all together, but bringing this down, i couldn't possibly do this fast enough to stop the threat , therefore i braced myself for yet another hit in a moment i was impacted harder than before, so much so that i actually was thrown into the air but i had also felt the source of these strong hits, it felt like an overgrown hand size of half my body and wider than my text book. Mid air i realized that impacting the floor would only cause more trouble so i immediately stuck my finger into my hair bun, found the pin and dragged it out, my hair fluttering, i pricked myself and without further ado activated my magic, decent glow of purple radiating off my body

'Sanguis acclear' i muttered and immediately just as i was about to reach ground level suspended myself midair. Now i was ready for a fight, whoever that was , was in for a whooping that was what i thought for the moment, then i sensed it , the power , a more greater pressure in the room, fierce, dense, large and dark, this pressure can only belong to one type of being, A DEMON, but how? How did a Demon infiltrate the school without getting caught in the many trap spells i had set in the corridors or around the school, did it maybe force it's self into the magic space using thier raw powers? Anything is possible it's a Demon- these were what i was thinking, now that dark pressure was speeding towards me and very fast, i could feel the energy, i immediately set on a barrier spell, my strongest and most powerful, the Demon hit it and instantly stomped a crack on it.

 That was when the Demon showed it's self, it was a beast man, tall as a tree, large, hairy, smelly he grunted as he walked around shaking his head, seems like there were repercussions for going that hard on my shield, i had seen this figure before, in the texts and that was when i realized ..this was a Cardinal Demon, The Demon of wrath and Anger NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE BEASTLY KING. 

 I was instantly filled with a feeling of melancholy, what did i do to get a Cardinal Demon's attention, why did he choose me to fight him and was i that powerful?? all these questions reeled into my head, i remembered through the readings that Nebuchadnezzar as powerful he was, was a very slow thinker that meant that he wasn't here alone , he was here with someone else, I began to feel worry for the other two, goodness knows what other Cardinal Demons were on ground right now. 

Note: POV is now switched to omni

'Hey big guy , why don't you go find someone your own size or something' yelled Sophia taunting the beast as she hovered above him, the beast grunted Still shaking his head from the impact of the barrier, Sophia lowered her altitude, as she hovered closer to the Demon, A careless move that almost cost her her life, for as she was close within his reach, he grabbed her and squeezed her threatening to press out the life in her, the beast then opened his mouth and began to inhale, Sophia saw her magic aura leaving her with a gust of wind, she began to feel weak , that was the Demon's Power in action, Just as she was about to succumb and slump off, she heard a loud bang in her head followed by a voice , strong deep and commanding 

'You are stronger than this, wake up' the voice sounded , she opened her eyes and quickly, using her left up strength she teleported out of his grasp, she was now kneeling and coughing at the far end of the vast room, The beast had found her almost immediately, he was now glowing and emitting great energy, replenished by Sophia's magic , feeling no need to be wary of her anymore, the beast was now slowly walking towards her, every step he took causing a rumble, his foot leaving behind a print of despair.

'So you take people's power and convert it to your own? Interesting ' said Sophia smiling, she had a smirk on her face, seems like her moving close to him was an intentional move all along but she was almost trapped by her own schemes.

'Don't take me lightly beast there's more where that came from' she said and in an instant, her magic energy replenished she was now emitting ten times than more she was emitting earlier, the beast caught wind of this and immediately rushed towards her on all fours, but sophia was faster,

'Dugo hati' she muttered as she stretched forth her hands catching the beast clasping him on his neck stopping him in his tracks, this was the work of her buffing spell.

'Now then , to give me back what you stole' she said as the beast was clawing at her, gnarling and skittering as he was being held at choke point, Sophia stood indifferent, unfazed, wicked.

'Krv pomsta' she said , the beast advanced from skitters to utmost screams, his magic pressure was dwindling, he was getting drained, Sophia was draining him of his magic, this was the spell known as the curse of vengeance a somewhat forbidden spell among the blood witches, not everyone could cast this spell in fact it hadn't been cast in a 100 years not because of the restriction, it was simply a very powerful spell that needed a great deal of magic. The beast's screams had now been reduced to sobs, sophia looked her eye glowing Crimson red, blood lust building up

'I wonder why , Mona Lisa didn't do this all along?' she said smirking, 

'Now then , i would have to imprison you, you are going to be my pet , i just know you would come in handy somehow ' she said as she geared up for another spell.

'Sangui Vow' she muttered, The beast was now being covered up in blood and in an instant he was minimised and absorbed into Sophia's palms. 

'So much for Cardinal Demons' she said as she clasped her hands together. A portal tore open as a tall dark skinned boy walked through.

'Oh hell nah' he yelled as he walked back out of the room, Sophia rolled her eyes 

'Americans' she said sighing.
