The ground cracks up and appears a demonic hand of the arch demon rank-2 Lockwood. Lockwood declares that the contract was breached and the punishment as per the contract would now be delivered. Arnos had to save the dryads from the arch demon. His one option left was his main weapon, the scythe. He gathered all the mana that was left to land a strike. {Attack- The first swing(Swing of the heaven)}. The arch demon stopped the attack and absorbed it like it was nothing.
Arch Demon: What a delicacy it is? I wish i was able to absorb more of this but you're interfering in the work and as per demon code 34 you are disturbing a work of arch demon and the penalty will be your elimination.
Arch demon with the cold look points a finger at Arnos and fires a red demon cannon. Arnos had no mana and had lost all his stamina. He thought that the death was sure. He knew the attack was enough powerful to bring a big hole in his body.
Arnos: FReeeyy!! Do something.
Frey: Nothing can be done. Situation unavoidable!
Random voice: Back off!
Arnos glared at the sky a being with a cream colored, dirty clothes and unidentifiable build came in with a immense burst of mana. He grabbed the air in his fist and then throwed it towards the attack. The demon attack was blocked with the wind wall.
Random voice: Long time no see Arnos.
Arnos: It can't be!
The Random guy reveals his face and it founds out be a an elf with small white beard beneath his chin and faint moustache. Arnos smiles widely after a short shock.
Arnos: You are late Mr. Smarty. It would have been much better if you arrrived much earlier you idiot.
Random Guy: Hey now I just saved your ass and there you go irritating me.
Arnos: Yeah whatever now knock that guy off Kirios.
Kirios: Damn it you ugly heck of a beast don't order me around after saving you.
Arnos lets out disappointing sigh that the elf hadn't even changed a bit after a long time. He guessed that an idiot remains idiot no matter how much time passes especially Kirios.
Kirios: I would smack your head with one of my deadly fists and kill you before this guy but not now I guess. Get ready you ugly demon, you'll meet your end in a minute.
Lockwood: Such arrogance but no benefit when you are in front of your death (Lockwood smiles with a grin). (Death Cannon (lv. 4) is used)
Lockwood uses the death canon at its max output. Kirios smiles and spreads his arms and again grabs the air and use the wind barrier but this time his wind barrier was annihilated by the death canon. He thought that it was time to use his main weapon the [Gileword Sword] (Gileword refers to the ancient dragon who was joyful and lively). Arnos was surprised as he saw the sword.
Kirios: The dragon within lend me the strength to unleash a slash enough to overcome the enemy in front of me. Gileword!!
The sword's absorbed the mana from the surrounding mana particles. Kirios swing the sword and deflected the demonic canon.
Kirios: So what were you say-
Arnos: Hey you idiot stop your foolish heroic dialogues and finish Lockwood.
Kirios looked at Arnos with frustration.
Kirios: You JERK!!
Arnos was irritated from all of Kirios' idiotism even after a long time.
Kirios finally gets his cool back in a second with a deep breath and with constant slashing he deflected each attack and approached more near to Lockwood and finally landed a critical blow at his heart. Lockwood expressed a sense of pain . But in a second he smiled.
Lockwood: You mere elf think that you could kill me with just one attack at my heart. I have 2 hearts and you even forgot about the dryads who are all collapsed till now.
Kirios jumped back as he saw claw attack of Lockwood. Lockwood then snapped his fingers and created a small disintegration spell area above all the dryads present over there. Kirios looks around and gets confused what to do.
Arnos: Kirios keep attacking. I'll save the dryads.
Kirios: But!?
Kirios gives off a small laugh.
Kirios: So you are now trying become a hero in front of dryads by saving them and I'll be the supporting sidekick.(Kirios had a tear in his eyes because of jealousy)
Arnos: It isn't a time for joke you idiot. I'll save them you must not let him escape.
Kirios: Fine but I'll take my revenge for this.
Kirios keeps upon attacking with restless slashes against Lockwood.
On the other hand Arnos stands up with all that he recovered in the short amount of time and he used the skill [Strangling Roots] to pull there legs and drag them away from the spell area.
Arnos: They are safe now. Keep attacking Kirios.
Kirios reached a point where he could deliver the death blow by a point but the moment he reached Lockwood had put a death spike below that position while Arnos and Kirios were having argument.
Arnos: Frey!! Use [Blitz Dash-Lv.1]!!
Within the moment he pushed Kirios aside and took the damage for himself and used his scythe and blocked his attack so that Kirios could attack. And the Kirios took advantage and stabbed the second heart of the arc demon in the opening that Arnos created. Lockwood screamed with pain as his last heart was took out. His presence swept out in the thin air. The hold in the ground was closed as soon Lockwood died.
Within a minute Arnos collapses and faints because of the excessive mana depletion.
(Meanwhile Somewhere In The Underworld)
A mysterious figure with cloak and a staff with glowing crystal on the top of it, walks through a dark unvivid staircase and finally reaches a prison cell big enough to hold a dragon is seen. The mysterious figure reveals his face. There came a red glow of eyes from the cell and deep voice.
Prisoner: Look's like you're gonna fulfill my contract agreements right? Seems like you want me to run an errand for you right, Sand hero, [NAME NOT DECIDED!].
Sand hero: Well whatever you may seem but you're almost right at that point. The nobles aren't able to uphold with the collection of taxes and Wakehem needs me to deliver 1000 Gold coins before this week, so I can't myself go and finish the task but if you guarantee to finish the work within time I'll Clear the demon contract on you and you'll be free.
Prisoner: I'll accept the offer but you still are a butler to that demon lord. (smiles and says) I thought you were the one put up the hands at equal point but it seems the demon lord took over the control.
Sand hero:(smiles on the foolishness of prisoner) Well if that what you think, I don't care about it just complete the task I give you within the limited time period.
Prisoner: Fine whatever but still who is the person you want me to kill?
Sand Hero: You are smart enough to understand the situation but the victim is not a person but a beast and I think you know it is.
The prisoner smiles and starts to walk toward the bars near the sand hero. The face of the prisoner becomes more vivid. Her face was beautiful and her hair was straight blonde. She was a wicked elf (many elves after the war evolved into the dark elves after forceful demon contract they had to sign to serve has a link of loyalty and for their survival in the new realm)(these elves were mainly Elvanth a short elf village which revolted the new empire of Elderia of the battle).
