Damian stared at the assassin, trying to learn more about it before the fight started. She had a bow made of energy, and shot arrows with similar power, a blue one.

"It must be her ability," Damian said.

That was the most logical explanation, and if it was a long-ranged ability, all he had to do was move closer to her!

"Aurora, hide," Damian said.

It was not a fight Aurora could pick, and even Damian, after doubling his attributes, was unsure if he would win it or not. Only going all out would give him the answer.

Aurora did what he said, hiding behind one of the house ruins. The assassin ignored her, as she was more focused on winning the battle against Damian first.

"Do you think you can win against me?" she said.

The mocking smile on her face was the way she found to make Damian pissed, or scared, yet it did not work. Damian was not there to chat with her, but to fight till death.

He exerted his incredible strength on his legs, destroying the ground beneath him as he dashed toward her. It happened fast, and the assassin was surprised by it.

In less than one second, Damian was right before her, sending a punch to her face. The power behind the attack was extraordinary, but it did not matter if she dodged it, and she did.

The assassin moved like a swift snake, dodging the punch with ease by performing a leap. The woman had trained a lot to be in the position she was, and Damian wouldn't win by doing a normal punch.

She leaped not only to avoid the attack, but send an attack of her own, pulling the string of her bow, sending a close-range arrow right toward Damian's face!

"What?"

Even he was surprised by it. That was a hard move for someone to do.

Damian was glad his speed and reaction time were not as they used to be. He moved his head to the left, feeling the arrow pass through his face, almost touching it.

An extreme dodge. One mistake could cost his life, but Damian was confident in his skills, and that alarmed the assassin.

"You are better than I thought," she said.

"Are you a friend of Salamander and Rubber?" Damian asked.

"Huh? Those two? No, I am here to kill them. Don't tell me you are not from The Fingers?"

"Do I look like someone from that shit organization?" Damian said.

The two stared at each other for a moment, thinking about their next moves. She thought he was a friend of those two, but that was not the case!

"Where's Salamander and Rubber?"

"Dead."

"Can I see their bodies?"

"Sure, if you don't mind dying. There's a creature inside that place, and it will kill you in less than once second," Damian said with a serious face.

"It looks like he's telling the truth, or maybe he is just good at lying? Either way, he is not my enemy," she thought.

The assassin moved her hand to her back, and Damian entered a fighting stance again, afraid she would take a hidden weapon to attack him.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

But she got a piece of paper and a pen, "this is my number. You are quite skilled, so maybe we can train in the future. Also, those people coming our way are from The Fingers, but I will let you deal with them."

She left after saying that, vanishing from the scene, leaping from side to side like an acrobatic master. Damian was still trying to figure it out what had happened, but placed her number on his pocket just in case.

"Aurora, we need to leave," Damian said.

Aurora came running at him. "what did she say? Wasn't she an enemy?"

"She was here to kill Salamander and Rubber. She's not from The Fingers, but those people are, and they will find us if we don't move fast!"

He once again grabbed Aurora, used his cloak to make them invisible, and left the area with his flight. That was the best combo, and weak enemies did not notice his presence.

They flew above the heads of those thugs who were looking for Salamander and Rubber, and no one noticed a single thing.

"These are weaker members. I think even after getting this bloodline, facing Rubber or Salamander would mean death to me. So how powerful was that demon?"

The thought of it made Damian's body shiver, and he could only wish for that demon to stay locked inside that place for a long, long time.

They kept moving, going up the stairs, the same path they took to reach that area. Damian did not stop for a moment, only after they left the place, returning to the 'normal sky and moon.'

"We are finally safe," Aurora said.

The sensation of being free of danger was inexplainable. "Let's return to the hotel," Damian said, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Aurora nodded, and the two made their way back to the hotel. They had spent almost an entire day inside that place, with no phone sign. Aurora's parents kept calling her, worried that something had happened.

<I am fine, dad. We just lost the signal deep in the forest, but we are good>

It was normal for them to worry about her, and Aurora did not mind it. They slowly made their way back to the hotel, with their eyelids almost closing in tiredness.

"Freaking 24 hours inside that place. I want my bed, now!"‌‌ Damian muttered.

Aurora's parents ran toward her the moment she stepped foot inside the hotel, and Damian let them be, returning to his room.

The first thing he did was not to sleep, but a shower!‌ He needed it, as even after absorbing the blood, he was still feeling dirty.

"This is so good."

A hot bath could bring back anyone to life, changing the bad mood to a good one.

But it could not energize Damian, who did not eat after showering, but went to sleep, jumping on his king-sized bed.

"Huh? What is this?"

ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom Damian woke up with a banging on his door. He was pissed by it. "Who is the person I will have to beat up today?"

But when he opened the door, someone he knew stared at him.

"No way!"
