“I have to find her first. Seekers can’t be sensed,” Azazel said.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Chapter nineteen
Azazel
A Champion is Rising
After traveling to twoother locations looking for Saraphell, after torturing the last demon because he wanted to be stubborn, I teleported Rai to her hideout. Demons surrounded it, but I made sure the shadows surrounding us cloaked our presence so they couldn’t sense or see us.
“Four on the outside, no telling how many inside,” I said.
“I don’t have my sword,” Rai said. “Can you handle them?”
I smirked. “Is that your command?”
Rai looked at me and I turned to him. “What?” he asked me.
He looked so adorable when he was confused. During the fight with Baal, I was... worried for his safety. I acted out of instinct when I rushed toward him to push him out of the way of Baal’s attack. He was mine, I wouldn’t let anyone hurt him.
“I am your Champion, Rai. Why don’t you have some fun with me? If you’re concerned that these demons mean anything to me, don’t be. I will annihilate them.”
Rai smiled. “I like hearing you say that you’re mine.”
Ohh, what was this here... he was becoming possessive of me... after all this time? I liked it. No, Ilovedit.
“Yes, baby,” I flirted, daring to use the term. He only snorted and rolled his eyes. I took that as a sign that he was warming up to me.
I unraveled the shadows, exposing us to the demon guards, who became instantly alert. Before they could attack, I was on them. My sword emerged from my aura, lethal and precise as I slashed through each one, slicing them in half. Low to mid-level demons like them were easy work for a demon Knight like me.
“Damn, that was awesome,” I heard Rai say.
I turned to see him stepping over one half of a pile of ash toward me. I kicked opened the door, or rather, kicked it off its hinges, sending the wood splintering into deadly shards that stabbed several of the demons inside. I stepped through with Rai following me and the demons gathered themselves for an attack.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Rai warned.
“You have a lot of nerve coming here,” said the demon I assumed we were there for.
“Saraphell?” I inquired to make sure.
“Azazel.” Saraphell stepped between two large male demons, all looked human as they’d taken over human bodies when they had entered this world. She had taken the form of a woman who resembled her once-human countenance. Yes, she was beautiful.
“Do you know why I’m here?” Rai asked and his tone was full of authority.
He was growing into his role as a Guardian well, I thought.
“I do and you will get no answers or help from me, trash,” Saraphell said with a sneer. “Kill them!”
“Azazel,” Rai said only my name, but I needed no instructions.
Twelve demons, excluding Saraphell, rushed at us, but I attacked them, freezing others while I sliced through the horde. When Saraphell saw what was happening, she tried to flee, but Ifroze her as well. As the last demon fell by my sword, Rai made his way over to her motionless body.
“Unfreeze her. I need answers,” Rai commanded.
I approached them and released my power over her. She tried to run, but I grabbed her hair and slung her to the floor. Immediately, I towered over her, pressing my foot to her chest, the tip of my sword at her throat.
“Don’t,” I threatened.
