I looked at leraje in a questionable manner,seeing my gaze he simply nodded acknowledging me.

-WHO ARE YOU ?!

Hearing the voice I turned my attention towards the 2 individuals that were tied up sitting at the back of this white room both of their clothing was dark red their outer appearance was something only seen from horror movies since they looked like real monsters with almost black skin and horns growing out of their foreheads their lips were thick and pink their eyes deep and abysmal creatures of the dark...demons.

Ignoring the demon I took a small glance towards leraje and wondered if he also looked like this...

-Hey ! you asshole who the fuck are you ?! How did you even get HERE !

The male demon was getting even more agitated the more I ignored him,but I didn't speak or answer him and instead looked at the single corpse that was inside of this single white room with nothing else,but us inside.

Taking a few steps forwards I knelt down and inspected the corpse I already knew that he wasn't alive since the very beginning what I wanted to know was what they did to him and more importantly why ?

-Leraje ?

I questioned he knew what I wanted to know as he stepped forward his gaze sweeping the demons and immediately looking towards me his strikingly green eyes were showing that he was as clueless as I was.

-They didn't talk and making them talk is also useless they are demons death or torture doesn't make them talk their incredibly loyal to their masters they would never expose information even if it meant their total destruction to them,demons are bound to absolute loyalty...

His words made sense and also made the murderous thoughts inside my head disappear torturing them wasn't a way now...getting answers was hard,but not impossible...

-Hey you shit head of a diaper kid WHO ARE YOU and you blond hair why are you even helping them aren't you demon too !

The male demon bellowed now very angry both me and leraje were ignoring him since the very beginning and concerning the other demon...or demoness I guess she didn't even as much as look at us and just stared at the ground their appearance was the same just gender different I assumed.

Still ignoring him I looked at leraje and ordered my gaze held a light of no mercy.

-Make him talk...

Leraje nodded his head and started to approach the 2 demons both of the demons seeing him approach didn't feel fear or nervousness it was obvious that they didn't care about pain or or any abuse that would go their way their mouths would stay shut,but who said that leraje was going to use violence ?

The demons seeing leraje stop right in front of them felt confused all of sudden the air around him started to stir and dark particles started to gather in his vicinity thick scary aura was emitted from leraje making both of the demons shocked for a moment as they felt what exactly leraje was and why they should fear such a person...the female demon was first to speak as her voice quivered and body shook from the amount of pressure leraje was emitting she had a face of total disbelieve coupled with her wide eyes she looked as if she had just seen the depth of hell itself inside of leraje.

-Im...Impossible...you...thats fake it can't be ! you can't be a ARCHFIEND demon how...why ?...why ?

The male demon feeling lerajes aura was horrified they now both were shocked to the point of speechlessness shaking and sweat out of fear they were like helpless sheep encountering a black wolf in the middle of the woods cornered with no way to escape...

Leraje spoke.

-What were you doing ? What did you do to this man ?

His voice was his usual one,but for the demons it was a terrifying voice belonging to a archfiend demon that could easily crush them if he liked...hearing the question both of them were not sure what to say,I could see what leraje meant by absolute loyalty even before a existence that is in the pinnacle of their race they still held onto their loyalty,demons can be truly contradictory sometimes being depicted as evil doers and have so much more conviction in them then half of the angels described in books...

I didn't continue looking at the scene anymore it was already clear that they weren't going to talk a single word having leraje terrify them was doing nothing so instead I started to inspect the corpse a bit more precise...there was something that victim was gripping in its left hand...wondering what it might be I opened the fist and found a star shaped necklace inside.

The necklace was weird I couldn't find anything suspicious on it,the crimson red gem that was placed on its middle shined a very devious and evil color I couldn't understand what it was so instead I called leraje over and asked him what it may be.

Leraje came and inspected the item,feeling released from the pressure that these 2 had just now suffered they felt relieved about it,but also very scared of what might come next it may as well be their temporary or even last relieve they were going to experience which made them even more so terrified...

Inspecting the item leraje shook his head and said that he didn't know what the item was either hearing this both of the demons sighed out of relieve,but it wasn't over just yet...

We can't get answers out of them and we don't have anyone who can answer us these questions,but at the same time we didn't need anyone to answer us the questions the answer were right here inside of palm...the necklace so to say.

Gripping my fist I started channeling my power outside the necklace doing so a sphere of pure golden light appeared covering my gripped hand and the necklace that was inside my eyes shined a deep golden color as well as pictures shifted through my mind knowledge seeping into me showing me the happenings of the past the things that had happened involving this item...this skill was called clairsentience.

A few days ago I had fought the red dragon attended verdath it was a match of toughness since I could breakthrough the dragons incredibly hard scales my energy was depleted to the point of exhaustion and small blackouts at the time the only thing I could do was try to bet and in the end I won that bet by reversing the time of the once broken plasma sword I was able to beat verdath,but that wasn't just it.

Through the incredible struggle I had also subconsciously activated the skill False Prophecy to predict the moves that verdath would execute and dodge them I also activated clairsentience to understand how the plasma sword worked at the time I believed that it was just a coincidence or something that had to do with the plasma sword that was able to show me the past and make me understand,but no that wasn't the case it was me who did it I looked into the past of an item and saw the past with my own eyes striking through it with my golden eyes revealing truth in front of me...the fight at that moment ended with me as a winner,but also left me with a incredible out come which was my death.

Of course out of pure luck chronos came and offered me a deal to resurrect me it was to save his daughter and after I agreed and finished it he also requested me to help take care of his daughter which I also accepted,but under one condition...to help me understand better about my ability of course.

Chronos agreed to the terms and immediately started teaching me tricks and few things I could do with the ability one of them being of clairsentience which allowed me to look into the past of an item I held just like the plasma sword.

Now back to the present my eyes stopped shining and the sphere that had been covering my fist also disappeared the newly acquired knowledge I had gained wasn't really useful the amount of time this item had existed was very small only giving me a few names and what it was called...

-Leraje what is a soul binder ?

Hearing my question leraje was slightly astound as he started thinking about it a bit more carefully the 2 demons who listened to my words quickly got flabbergast because they realized that I knew the name of the item.

The reason they were surprised like this was because other then these 2 only another single person knew about the existence of this item-or so I assume-the item in itself seems to be very unique meaning that there were no other manufactures other then them thats why they were so surprised that I had somehow figured out the name of the name.

Back here leraje had finally thought through his thoughts and started talking.

-The soul binder is a spell or a demonic enchantment so to speak,it forces the soul of a person back into the original corpse it is a very unstable spell and also dangerous since the results can be very destructive...

I raised eyebrows...

-How destructive ?

-The soul that comes back into its original world, may or may not become completely corrupted soul getting wounded by the barrier of the mortal realm,their mind fully destroyed they even gain some of the demonic powers and wreak havoc and chaos to destroy and harm,these kinds of demons are often called soul suckers because they feed onto the negative emotions of mortals in their case fear without those emotions to sustain them the demon summoned through the soul binder effect completely dies out destroying the soul altogether they can also be stopped by destroying the mortal body this way the soul doesn't gets to feed on any more fear and also dies out..

His explanation was sound and clear,but there were still things I couldn't understand why do you even use such a unproductive spell?

As if guessing what I was about to ask leraje continued.

-The spell is very unstable as I said it is a big bet and often times just fails or simply kills the soul through the exchange of realms that it needs to cross to get back,but the reason the spell is sometimes used is to revive a person back to life it is very risky and at my time I had seen it succeed only once the rest of the results..obvious so to speak..

I nodded my head acknowledging his answer,through this knowledge I also started to get things together a bit more these guys were definitely the cause of those homocides from the last few weeks,but once again it begged the question why ?

Stopping for a moment I looked at the male demon...I really wanted to just squeeze the answer out of him using clairsentience on him,but it didn't work since he wasn't an object,but a live person...

Feeling my gaze onto him the male demon raised his head and looked at me now a bit more appraising he was probably thinking about how I might have figured out so much about what he was doing just by getting here he was confused and scared which he rightfully should be since I wasn't planning on letting him walk away scott free for now though I needed to find an ink line of what his goal was currently what I knew was that these 2 freaks were going around town and killing people and then trying to revive them all of this happening while in broad daylight they clearly had a motive for this and it didn't make sense that they were trying to revive someone just after they murdered them...

I stepped forward every step towards him made the male demon spasm in fear so did the female demon she didn't even dare to look at me and stared onto the ground with a ghastly look on her face.

-Wha...what do you want ? Its already clear I am not going to talk...

The male demon spat out disdainfully his voice cracked showing that he was truly scared of me,but still refused to reveal what he was trying to do.I wasn't intending on making him talk no,I was actually here to search him which I did.

-ehh Hey stop what are you,you son of a...AAAHHHH

Before he could finish his words a green light arrowed pierced his left shoulder making him scream out of pain the arrow shot was precise and only passed the side of my head the shooter was obviously the other person in this room leraje,his shot looked risky since he could have shot me accidentally,but I knew that his aim was better then most of the gun man in the world much more so with the bow.

-Shut it lowlife...

Leraje threatened he didn't like how the demon was talking to me so he gave him a reminded of who really had the upper hand here.

-Now...now whats this ?

I said very curious of the item that I just brought out from this guys pocket,from what I could find this was the only thing the male demon hand on his body and the item itself was a badge...a very familiar badge to be precise the had a depiction of a little girl and a young man facing each other happily and between them was something a tear going through looking very ominous...the badge was something I knew very well...it was the badge of the broken brotherhood an alias I had faked as when I came to rescue amy it helped me get the ticket mostly.

Looking at the badge I realized that the person who was sitting tied in front of me was actually a member of the broken brotherhood the most powerful demon clan that is limited to only 666 members it made me perplexed slightly as I looked up towards him,as I did so I could see his disgusting smile greet him his body odor and the way he smelled in general was disgusting and reeked of death itself he looked very arrogant right now seeing me pull out the identification of who was as he told me in a mocking tone...still very hurt by the green arrow that was probably on the process of hurting him even more..

-You understand right ? pip squeak you aren't getting away with this the moment you walk out it may be bright and sunshine for you,but we will remember this and we will hunt you down and make you wish that you weren't alive you suffer and feel the wrath of our clan you little piece of...AHHHH

He screamed...a second arrow now lodged onto his right shoulder I could see intense pain reflect on his eyes,but he stopped and looked at me for a moment taunting me with his deathly glare,but soon enough he realized something...my eyes were evenly as deep as his own not one bit scared of his threat or what kind of power was behind him...I didn't care who ever dares to step in front me gets destroyed be it human or god no,one will take anyone I care about without crossing me first...

-Leraje...we are done here

I said giving leraje the signal to clean up listening to my words he nodded his head and quickly started to produce the deathly aura again his striking green eyes sweeping the two demons who were now terrified to death he proceeded to eliminated them and silence them forever.

Screams resounded throughout this room I wasn't watching him do his work and instead thought of what this potentially could mean...the broken brotherhood was involved in this meaning that it wasn't just some minor crime something big was happening and I didn't like it at all...

Now thinking about things I know are that the broken brotherhood are sending people into the town killing them and trying to revive them in broad daylight this action rose a lot of question such as why they aren't just kidnapping them and doing it in a more safe area ? Its also begged the question of why they were doing this,leraje said that this spell is used to revive people,but it most of the times failed so that means these people are testing and trying to revive someone -from what I could guess- through this spell,but if they succeed what are they even gaining from this ?

Leraje already finished his gruesome work and left nothing behind from these 2 demons killing them efficiently without a remain to investigate...I didn't ask him what he did nor did I have any interest of knowing and instead asked him.

-What makes this revival so special ? Aren't there more better ways to revive someone ? As a mage what is your opinion on this ?

I asked leraje not really turning towards him and asking him directly,but staring at the dead corpse of this man while speaking...

Leraje was about to answer my question honestly,but as he was about to do so a different voice answered me...a feminine voice at that..

-The demonic soul binder spell is a very unstable and risky spell,but what makes it unique from the other revival spell is its power to try to revive someone without paying the price for the power itself the possibility of success is slim,but desperate people always rely on that slim possibility spells in itself can also be improved to raise the chance of success...

Hearing the voice was alarming it made me instantly move my body towards the entrance again the dark passage and when I looked towards it I saw a person standing there her steps getting closer to us her attire was some kind of purple uniform with straps all over it she also wore a very big medieval magicians hat that was hiding her face...

-Who are you ?!

I demanded quickly summoning my plasma sword into my hand,but as I was doing so I realized something odd...the clavicula was reacting to her...

Glancing to my side I could also see lerajes calm demeanor he didn't seem to see this person as a enemy or a strange which was even more so odd..

-Oh...I forgot to introduce myself did I ? I am incredibly sorry young master honestly saying this is my very first time someone had actually summoned me I may be the youngest summon inside the clavicula since I also come from the 20th century so let my entrance be grand for I am...

Her hand moved and her purple magicians hat flew to the sky as she revealed her face to me...blond long hair was fluttering in the air as her sky blue eyes met with my own her face was lady like prospered with a beautiful royal youth to it as she spoke again with a smile on her face..

-Melony the array master to your service...its nice to meet you young master...

She said with a cute wink which a woman as old as her didn't really fit...
