'Yes!! I don't know which god listened to me but Thank You!!!'
Welcome Host to the world of Alhara!
Please explore the different system functions when you are ready.
'Perfect! Now let's see if I can find a way out of this mess.'
'System, how can i survive this situation?'
…
'System, analyze the demon's attack for weaknesses.'
…
'System, summon a giant fireball to attack the demons!'
…
'Well none of that worked…guess it didn't come with an AI helper.'
'System Open'
At this moment, a screen appeared before James' eyes with 4 boxes. 3 of them were greyed out but 1 was visible and selectable.

'Great so i can view my Profile to see my stats and stuff but how is that going to help anything??'
'The only stats that seem any good are my Mental and Luck stats…I assume the Mental stats is high because i still have the memories and mind from the past 20 ish years of my life. As for my Luck stat…I have nothing to compare it to so i have no idea if it's considered high or not.'
At that moment, the demon above threw the giant fireball from his hands down towards the destroyed house.
*Rumble*
Waves of heat could be felt as the fireball approached.
The adults all hundling together with resigned looks on their faces as they watched the descending attack.
Just as the fireball was anout to hit the group, a beam of blue light streaked across the sky and collided with the attack.
*PUFF*
The fireball was snuffed out, leaving only a cloud of steam spreading through the area.
"You demons are truly brazen to believe you could do whatever you wanted in our backyard."
Following the voice, a group of 30 people of various ages, male and female appeared in the sky surrouding the 7 demons.
The cultivators standing in the sky each wore flowing white robes with light blue cloud patterns.
Leading them was an old man with a long white beard. His hands held behind his back but 3 swords hovered around him as if ready to strike at a moments' notice.
"Kill them all."
With a wave of his hand, the blades surrounding him flew towards the demons.
An explosive battle errupted, spells of all kinds flying about as the 7 demons tried to fight back. But being heavily outnumbered, they had no chance of survival.
The leading demon, seeing half of his group being chopped to pieces, recognized the chances of escape to be near impossible and so decided to take as many lives with him as he could.
With a burst of mana, the demon dove straight towards the wrecked house. Not caring for injuries, he took several spells to the back, lost an arm and half of his leg but he kept increasing his speed.
Finally, having reached the small group of humans, he grinned. Showing a set of sharp pointed teeth with blood oozing around them.
"If im going down, then i'm finishing what i started!"
The demon concentrated all the mana in his body towards his core, ready to have it explode and take 3 kilometers around with him.
Jack, seeing that they had no time left, concentrated a shield of mana around the baby in his arms and then threw it with all his might towards the old cultivator in the sky.
"Please take care of our son!"
Jack lowered his head and bowed towards the sky and then…
*Boom*
A huge explosion erupted, vaporizing everything within the area. James' borth family, completely gone without a trace. The explosion was so destructive that the ground beneath turned into red bubbling magma.
The old cultivator caught the baby and shielded him from the shockwave of the explosion. With a heavy heart, he looked down into the baby's curious eyes with knly one thought.
"I was too late."
A young red haird woman approached the old man.
"Master, the demons have been dealt with. What should we do with the baby?"
"We'll take him with us. Fate brought us together so i'll take him as my second disciple."
The old man raised his voice to address everyone present.
"Well done everyone, let's return to the sect and consider this mission complete."
With that said, the group of cultivators turned and returned to the Drifting Clouds sect.
