Chat Group For Magicians

"Who are you?! Don't you think you can just butt into other demon's business whenever you liked!" the female demon roared and give a scratch to the man on the wall.

"Oh, it's my business alright? This guy is someone I know so why would I not interfere if he is being overwhelmed by a chick demon," he said as he jumps off the wall and released a lightning bolt towards the female demon.

"You are making me angry!" she bit her thumb and blood flows from the wound.

"Catalyst of Blood: Curse of Anubis!"

A magic circle appeared on her hands and the circles started to rotate very fast. However, the other guy did not even falter and put his hands in his pocket only to pull out a candy and pop it on his mouth. He yawned when the magic hits him and looked at the female demon with boredom.

"Are you done? I thought you are trying to tickle me but my tickle spots are far from the areas you touched."

The female demon almost chokes out when she heard the remark. "How the hell are you still fine?! I already cast a 4th tier curse magic! Any magician hit by it would suffer and those inexperienced will die immediately!"

"Oh, that? Sorry to inform you that I don't think it would work. My whole body is able to block all types of curses so that only means that everything that is a curse type magic directed to me would immediately nullify the damage to my body."

While the guy was explaining, the female demon dashes forward and swiped the area where the guy was standing earlier but all of her strikes miss. The guy disappeared from sight. She looked around but failed to see him.

"Lightning Form No.3 Lightning storm!"

CRACKLE CRACKLE!

"AHHHH!!"

The female demon screamed and retreated as her shoulder on the right was burnt completely. The rest of her body was luckily able to survive but her body was not able to block a dangerous attack. It's not even a serious attack.

"I heard the general demons are stronger than normal ones and I thought you are one of them. However, why are you so weak? How come you pose no threat to me? Or did am I just too strong for you?"

"Bastard! I am one of the 10 generals that my liege has sent in this area to deal with you all!"

"I see. So my hint was right. Never expected that you will tell me that sooner."

The guy raised his hand once more but he looked neither menacing or neutral. He is smiling.

"Demons begone!"

ZAAAAAPPP! CLANG!

The guy paused when his magic bounced off. When he blinked, the female demon disappeared. He looked up and saw a male demon holding the female demon on his shoulder.

"A candidate for the Councilor's seat huh... Who would have thought that you would appear here."

"Trying to save your subordinate from death huh? You two need to perish!" he shot out an arc of lightning but the demon swipes it off with his left hand.

"I don't have time to play games with you. Our goal here is done, we will meet again," the demon said and flick his fingers and a portal appeared beside him.

"Did you think I will let you escape with that woman?!" he shot out another arc of lightning towards the demon but he disappeared in the portal and it closed before his attack hits.

He sighed and looked at Kazuma who is trying to get up from the pain. However, he is on the verge of collapsing.

"Hey, are you still awake boy?"

Kazuma tried to respond but he soon passed out.

"He passed out eh? I guess this is the second time I will be saving you, boy. I think I will ask for a good payback for you next time in exchange for this. But first, you need to get you to Otome, you can't be dying here without giving any kind of payback to me."

...

When I opened my eyes, my whole body no longer aches and I realized that I am no longer outside fighting and suffering. The Skull Knuckles are still in my hands, might be due to the restriction of it that only I can take it off.

I stood up and realized that my wounds earlier that I have sustained were all gone and missing in my skin. I don't mean I want them back but it is just strange to find your wounds missing without even being administered with any kind of treatment.

WAIT...

Did I get healed by magic?

Getting up the bed, I realized that the pain in my body did not really disappear. There is still that slight pain I am feeling and I don't think it will disappear soon. I looked beside me and saw Irina sleeping beside the bed I was sleeping in. The others are also asleep, even Godou and Otome. Moonlight is still out and sleeping in the bed adjacent to mine. There is only one guy awake and currently browsing something on his phone. He noticed me immediately and put his phone on his breast pocket.

"Looks like you are awake."

"Voltaire-san?"

"Yep, you were pretty beat up earlier and I thought you would hit the bucket. Good thing that you didn't get wrecked."

"Eh? How did you know that I was being beaten up?"

"Don't you remember? You are live streaming your battle against the demons, remember? Everyone who is currently watching the video can see what you are doing and what is happening to you."

"Ah..." I remembered that I was live streaming and looked at my phone. Good thing that the live stream already ended.

"If I didn't arrive, you will be dead already and I don't think you will be able to become a true magician if you are dead. Dead men tell no tales as they say. Therefore, you shouldn't challenge an undefeatable adversary. You are not immortal."

"Looks like I am still a weakling..." I muttered as I looked at my trembling hands.

"For someone who is not afraid of death, you easily lose your momentum of things. Just remember that your progress is already something that is totally monstrous for us. For you to get to learn Light Blast and Water Torrent in just a few days, is already something else. You just became a magician 2 weeks ago."

"Huh?"

"You didn't realize? What a monster..." Voltaire muttered.

"Anyways, what happened to the demon I am fighting with?"

"She escaped. The remaining demons in Tokyo already disappeared already and the magicians already did the repairs and mind wipe while you were out."

"So that means Irina is..." I looked at Irina.

"No, she has the affinity of using magic which might be due to her mother's magic inheritance. But she is still not used to it so she was spared from the Mass Mind Wipe. Anyways, I have a recommendation for you. The barrier will lift up soon but that doesn't mean that the danger against the demons will stop. Someone can help you get your magic get stronger in a short span. Are you interested?"

...

In a certain place, the same guy who stood on the top of a building and the demon who rescued the demon girl is standing on a hall alongside some demons who has overwhelming auras. The female demon that Kazuma and Voltaire fought is also in there.

Everything was quiet at first, but then, darkness started to fall on the place and the demons started to kneel down.

"We welcome you back, Master Shadow. The first step to the destruction of humanity is done. We are waiting for the next order."
