《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

When Sargan realized he had unlocked the Mirage ability, he was incomparably excited.
As a member of the Bach Clan, he knew what he could do with this ability. He could show illusions.
He could show illusions to people now. Using those illusions, he could figure out the ambitious desire in his opponent's heart.
He could even construct a scenery from his imagination and confuse his opponent. The special part of this illusion was that the details would be filled not by the user but by the opponent.
The user was only going to trigger the mirage. It would depend on how the opponent would be viewing the situation.
There are numerous instances in a person's life where he unconsciously wishes for things to go his way. Sargan's Mirage ability would show him such a future and make him act accordingly to it.
Sargan would naturally be aware of what his Evil Eye was showing to his opponent and the real situation as well.
Thus, he would be able to act accordingly and take complete advantage in a battle.
Naturally, such an ability had its restrictions as well.
This ability wouldn't work on individuals who possessed stronger Spiritual Energy than Sargan.
Well, Sargan's Spiritual Energy was quite great because of Nether Devil God's Mantra.
Among Azaroth's retainers, Sargan's mirage ability wouldn't work on Noah and Laura only.
Noah's Spiritual Energy was weaker than Sargan's, but this sort of ability would never work against him because he possessed an Enlightened Sword Heart.
Moreover, his sword intent was so strong that it could easily destroy illusions unless it was created by someone at Azaroth's level.
Sargan's mirage ability wouldn't work on Laura simply because her Spiritual Energy was stronger than his own. Moreover, it was incomparably purer in quality as well.
The second issue of this ability was that Sargan would face a severe backlash over his spirit if someone broke his illusion.
In fact, he would need one whole day to recover his Evil Eyes from that backlash.

However, these restrictions didn't dampen Sargan's excitement. It merely informed him that he had to be cautious before using this ability against an opponent. Which was only natural to do so.
Showing off his cards to the opponent without knowing about him or his abilities was an extremely foolish thing to do. Sargan was smarter than that.
He used his Mystical Spiritual Connection to contact Azaroth. Azaroth's holographic image soon appeared.
"What is it now?" He seemed tired and bored.
"I apologize for disturbing you, boss. But I genuinely require your assistance. Among the treasures here, is there anything we should keep for ourselves?"
Sargan had naturally returned to the treasure room.
Azaroth gazed at the treasures and found none he fancied. However, he found some treasures that would be greatly useful to Sargan and Yrellea.
One of them was a Mirror that would repel attacks, and there was a small chance it could reflect the attack.
This mirror was rather small and could be strung up to form a locket and be tied around one's neck.
Sargan would require something of this sort. It could repel attacks even from a 5 Star Warrior or, in other words, a Demon Lord.
However, there were two more treasures he took.
One was a Blue Sword that conducted Lightning. This was perfect for Sargan as he did know many sword techniques.
Although he could never defeat Noah in sword fighting in a million years, his techniques required pure Ardor, and the sword techniques he possessed were better than his unarmed techniques.
While the last one was a Dark Ribbon.
Azaroth asked Sargan to hand it over to Yrellea. This ribbon could be manipulated and made to take any shape the user desired.
Moreover, Yrellea was proficient in controlling water and wouldn't take much time to become proficient in controlling this ribbon.
If Yrellea managed to utilize this ribbon, her combat strength would upgrade greatly.

Soon after Sargan cut off his connection with Azaroth, he contacted Yrellea.
"Come meet me at the location I am giving you. The ring will show you the way." Sargan spoke with a calm voice.
"Why?" Yrellea asked him curiously.
Sargan gave a simple explanation, "It would be better if you come in person. It's Boss's order."
This was more than enough for Yrellea.
She immediately looked to her assistant and informed her, "Continue to check the situation here. I will be going outside for some fresh air."
"As you command, madam," Yrellea's assistant immediately replied.
Yrellea soon left the Misty Flower Pavillon building. She was dressed like an average woman with a simple disguise on her face. She roamed around and kept watch of her surroundings to check whether she was being followed or not.
It didn't appear that she was being followed. Atleast, she saw no suspicious men around herself.
Yrellea decided to take the risk and go to the underground labyrinth where Sargan was waiting for her.
As soon as she entered the area of the Underground Labyrinth, Sargan used his Spiritual Energy to command the Labyrinth to teleport her inside the Labyrinth.
Yrellea was utterly shocked as she was teleported. She felt like puking after she stepped inside the Labyrinth.
Sargan's voice soon resounded in the Labyrinth, "Come. I am waiting for you in the treasury. I trust you know your way around the Labyrinth."
Yrellea replied out, "Very well." She began walking towards the treasury and soon reached it.
She noticed Sargan holding a sword and practicing swings with it.
"So, what is Master's order?" Yrellea asked after entering the treasury.
Sargan stopped swinging his sword and stared at her. He spoke calmly while pointing at the black ribbon, "Master wishes for you to take hold of this ribbon and learn to control it."
Yrellea glanced at the black ribbon. She nodded her head and replied, "…Alright."
Yrellea picked up the Black Ribbon and was surprised when she saw the grade of this weapon. A 5 Tier Weapon!
"You are rather lucky to have found a labyrinth with treasures still in it. Good to see you aren't slacking off." Yrellea commented while picking up the Black Ribbon.
"The same for you. I hear that your Pavillon is strongly becoming popular among wealthy individuals and even those from the middle class." Sargan replied.
Yrellea shrugged in response, "With the support of the Governor and a few other high-class merchants, it wasn't difficult."
Sargan nodded, "That's true." And he added casually, "There are rumors that the Governor is planning to propose a marriage between his son and you."
Yrellea's pupils widened in shock. She had no information regarding this.
"Is this true? Who did you hear it from?!" Yrellea asked with a slightly anxious voice.
Sargan replied, "It's the talk within every wealthy merchant's home in Vlashire City."
"It's said that Zaraki Family supported you and promoted your Pavillion because they wanted to boost your image. A boost in your image would mean a boost in their image once you marry Minos Zaraki," Sargan added ahead.
"The customers. How come I never heard about this from them?" Yrellea whispered in disbelief.
Sargan spoke seriously, "The wealthy ones still do not trust your Pavillion. Those who know a lot of information prefer to not visit your Pavillion for now. They believe that the Governor has installed ears everywhere, and it's dangerous to talk there. Understand now? Your attempt to use the Governor's influence and promote the Pavillion is now showing its disadvantages."
Yrellea clenched her fists as she whispered, "What do I do now?"

The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
