With masked face and he made a fake name. The siblings might tell the story about himself and he believes that there are many people has name of 'Evan'. But just for precautious, he is using fake name for now.
"Mister Theo, the bandits have treasure. It sure unfortunate if we just leave them be."
Evan stopped and lie down to the lost girl on the tree.
"Najie, take care of her for a moment and use this." Evan took out a sword and give towards her. Surprisingly, once she holds the sword, she swings it as if she is an experienced swordsman.
"Thank you." Najie spoke with smile, her beauty really showing off once all the wounds gone.
"Perry, lead me."
"Yes!"
Once they entering the cave, Perry giggling and speaks, "Najie is dreaming to become a knight but father forbid her. Yet, she is secretly training. She is very hot-headed."
"You seems know your sister really well."
"I do, she is not a lady from noble at all. Even though she is a beauty and gracious, she is very hot-headed and hard to be told." He spoke in confident which makes Evan speechless.
"You're young but talk like an adult."
"Of course! Housten's man is more mature than anyone else!" With proud he said that and somewhat funny for Evan.
"To be honest, i don't know where is the treasure. But the bandits clearly have it."
"Do not worry, i handle it."
Evan walks to the dead end of the cave and pushed. A rectangular part got pushed by Evan and sound of mechanism can be heard. A door opened on the wall.
"How did you know?" Perry spoke in excitement.
"Magic."
He used wind magic to sweep through the area to feel something odd. He eventually found the button and the secret room. Two of them entering the room and it's full of treasure.
"Mister Theo can take all of them."
"You sure?"
"Yes! Wealth doesn't mean much." Perry showing indifferent face, clearly not showing any interest towards the treasure.
Evan also doesn't show any interest with the treasure but just in case, he might find something good. As he storing the wealth inside his storage, he found something good.
Bracelet of Thorn. This bracelet was made pair with Bracelet of Rose, but it was separated. The bracelet is magical item which act as defense. If the opponent attacking, it could activate thorns to attack the opponent right away.
This bracelet, Evan remembered it was wore by someone he really close with long ago. After stored all of them, Evan returning to Najie and the lost girl but found someone else there.
"Perry, hide."
Perry flinched and slowing his footsteps. As he Evan left the cave, he came into contact with the new arrived person.
This person has seven lightning bolts flying above him and they are directed towards Najie. That man noticed Evan and changed the bolts direction.

"Where are they?"
"They? Bandits? Dead."
Evan answered casually and that man clicked his tongue. He shoots the bolts towards him, Perry and Najie couldn't be alarmed due to the speed of the bolts. But, for Evan it was nothing at all.
"Gather, shoot."
Two words, the lightning bolts gathered into one before Evan and shot back towards the man. That man flinched and reacted by shoot another bolt.
"Devour, neutralize."
Evan's bolt devoured his bolt and once it hits that man, all his nerves got neutralized and he only able to fall down. That man has resistance against lightning but it was too weak. Evan walks closer to him and glanced at Najie.
"Who is he?"
"I-i don't know?"
"Right..."
Evan knelt down and casted 'Mind reading' to him. This man is a mage who helped the bandits and took most of the slaves. His intent to come here is to get the bandits to attack a caravan. But after saw Najie and the lost girl outside, he became suspicious and almost intend to kill Najie if Evan had not coming out.
Evan created small lightning bolt on his finger and press it to that man's head. It shut down the brain in instant.
"That should be enough." Evan spoke and turned the man's body. He took his belongings and then start carrying the lost girl.
"Is he dead?" Perry asked.
"Yes."
"Amazing! You used healing magic and lightning magic! What are you Mister Theo?" He is showing an excitement even though knowing that Evan has killed someone. It made Evan wondering if Perry's mental is very strong.
"Just a wild mage."
"Really?"
"Mhm..."
After few miles walking, they stopped for a rest. But, Perry and Najie want to keep going. They don't exhaust at all, but Evan insisted to rest.
"Can you two use a bow?"
"I can!" Perry raised his hand. Evan took out a bow and several arrows inside a quiver and give it to Perry.
"Hunt animal for food, can you guys, do it?"
"Yeah, we could!"
"Okay then."
Evan really became amazed with Perry. It might be because the world has changed or maybe he once hunted an animal before. Yet, he is quite young and brave. While the siblings going hunting. Evan woke up the lost girl.
"?!"
She shivered and tried to get away in instant but Evan quickly grabs her and use magic to calm her down.
"Relax.... you're safe."
The lost girl still in panic and high alert. No matter what good words entering her ears, she would respond it in fear. He doesn't have choice but to let her calm down slowly.
"I'm Theo, i'm here to help."
"Help?"
Even the word 'help' sounds amazing and could ease someone. Erona is thinking different, one of the bandits also utter that word too and made her disbelief that word.

"Erona is your name, right?"
Erona was flinched but slowly nodded.
Evan sighed for a moment. To be honest, he isn't a person that could help traumatized people. He isn't some kind of savior and the only way he can act maybe by becoming a demon.
"Do you wish to see?"
His tone changed into an invitation of demon.
"Do you wish for power?"
"A power that helps you to stand. A power that could crush what you hate."
To a desperate person and a person who lost their will of living. Invitation of demon is alluring, a power to makes them stand above and couldn't be trampled anymore. Lust for power, hatred for being weak.
"If you wish so, come accept me."
"A-accept?"
"Accept the power that i'll give to you." Evan touched her forehead and inserted a part of his memory regarding magic vision.
"Ah..."
Once the memory entered her, Evan stimulate mana inside her and awoken her power. With Evan's memory, she could grasp how to use magic vision even though it isn't that amazing.
"This."
"A vision." Evan muttered towards Erona who looking around. She is blind, but with magic vision, she could see her surrounding through magic she releases around her.
"If you accept my power, you can enjoy this. But... if not..."
Evan pulled away his memory from her and suppressed her mana. In instant, her vision turned black. In panic, she is screamed and grabbing Evan.
"I... i wanted to see again! Please let me see it again! I'll accept your power!" Her desperation to be able to see and a power to see overcome her trauma of skinship.
"Good, i shall give you a bit of it."
Erona could see again but it was limited to five meters, one meter is focused vision while outside one meter becomes blury.
"Once we arrive at certain place, we hold a ceremony for it."
She slowly nodded and looking around her with excitement.
Then, few minutes later. The siblings returned which makes Erona shocked and hiding behind the Evan.
"She woke up?" Perry muttered. He brought two rabbits on his both hands.
"Yes, but she is still in shock."
While putting down the rabbits, Perry staring at her intensely. On other hand, Erona also looking at him. Then she pulled Evan's robe and speaks.
"Why they and Sir Theo are different?"
Perry and Najie wouldn't know what she means but Evan know. Since she uses magic vision, she could see the difference between people through inside their bodies. If Evan used magic vision, then Perry, Najie and Erona would have colorful colors inside them.
"What do you see in me?" Evan asked.
"It's.... pitch black, sometimes white but then black again."
"Ah... okay."
This is having relation with undead. Undead would be pitch black without slight change of color. His undead power is too powerful and it couldn't be avoided if he is pitch black.
Evan turned towards Perry whom dismantling the rabbits. He is quite skilled for a noble.
"Hehe, when i was in wilderness, father told me that Housten's man must skilled in wilderness too. Hunting, dismantling and surviving is the best!" Perry spoke in joy.
"He is crazy about Housten's man, please don't mind him." Najie spoke as if it is a headache to hear Perry talking.
"Well! I'm Housten's man! If i can't follow Housten's man's creed, i'm not worthy for being Housten's man!"
"That's looks interesting, what kind of family is Housten?" Evan asked. In instant, Perry's eyes glimmering in excitement as he begins his explanation.
"Housten family is a military family! However, our ancestor made a creed that men from Housten must become a military man! Grandfather, father and myself learning to become a military ever since a kid."
"What about the girls?"
"Girls? Well..." Perry doesn't know what to say and glanced at Najie whom sighed.
"Women from Housten just normal noble ladies. Going to the party, established relationships. Very boring and unchallenging at all." She sighed.
"As you can see Mister Theo, sister also has true Housten's bloodline. We Housten are thirst for challenge but safety also a priority."
"I see, so that's why you quite odd."
"Odd? Well, yes. I'm might be odd for a kid at my age."
"But, your family creed really doesn't give the girls freedom to become a military, what's the reason?"
"Our ancestor said that women must be protected not in front of front line. Only men must shed their blood in war."
"Your ancestor seems like didn't expect for Najie." Evan chuckled and then Perry also laughing very hard leaving Najie sighed and Erona puzzled.
"If i could, i would run away from the house and start my own adventure." Najie grumbled.
"But hey, maybe father would feel bad about me and won't restrict myself since i lose my chastity."
"What are you saying sister?!" Perry became upset.
"What do you mean? My life as noble is over, everyone eventually will find out that i'm dirty and will bring shame upon family. It's better to let me go, right?"
Perry didn't argue anymore but he is still showing great displeasure. After that, they start making fire and grilling the rabbits. One rabbit for two people, Evan didn't eat much so he gave the rest to Erona. After resting few minutes, they start walking again on.
