The following days were very important for Damian. He had to focus and try his best to find something very specific: a way to travel long distances quickly.
For that, he would need some demon ability focused on rapid movement.
This time, he didn't want to ask Leo for a piece of skin from any of his high-ranking demon friends. He had done that before, and he didn't want to be in debt to Leo.
If he kept asking for things, Leo would get suspicious—and might demand more from him in the future. That was the last thing Damian wanted.
So, to get the ability he wanted, Damian had to leave the city and go on an adventure. Staying inside the city fighting demons wasn't a good idea. What if he ran into someone who knew him? Or worse, if he crossed paths with Lion Beast on the streets?
That would be fatal. The best thing was to get away from the city and look for demons in the forests, just like he had done before.
