The Agramy of right now was completely different to the one of ten minutes ago, not only his flames were devoured by a “low ranked” weapon of a trash tier plane, he a peak ranked mortal realm fire djinn was actually punched in the face.
“Impossible, my fire which descends from a noble lineage was overwhelmed by a middle mortal ranked human… this has to be a nightmare!!!”.
Unfortunately for Agramy the nightmare was just about to start, Daimon stopped walking right next to him and with a wave of his hand a particle of demon light positioned itself on top of the fire djinn’s head.
“What a shame your subordinates are too weak, I would have rather kept one of them as a hunting dog, that Caldras guy was quite realistic what a shame he was destroyed by regulation lightning, I guess you all have no value for me”.
Agramy’s eyes widened knowing what was about to happen, his body trembled and he immediately shouted.
“W-Wait, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize your noble status, someone with such a powerful fire must have an ancient dignified lineage… if you leave me go, I will ask my father to give you this whole galaxy, it will be only for you so please spare me!!!”.
Daimon smirked at the message that appeared in front of him.
[Mixed Ifrit “Agramy” has offered his loyalty, do you wish to accept it Y/N]
“Fine I won’t kill you”, he said in a low voice.
Agramy suddenly had a bad premonition, but before he could say anything else a collar made out of black bones appeared on his neck, which made him shut his mouth.
“I will take you in as my second “subordinate”.
Agramy mentally let out a sigh of relief.
“One thousand years is not too much time for a revenge, just you wait I will… aghhh!!!”.
Daimon saw Agramy using his own hands to crush his balls and he shook his head.
“I forgot to tell you, while my other subordinate will feel as if his brain is exploding at the slightest thought of betrayal, I changed your punishment to a more fitting one, but I have to say that was quite fast”.
“Whatever that will be your first and last rebellious thought, now get the hell out of here, go to this place and find a merchant called Ereman, tell him to lend you a room to stay”, he said as he handed a map of Lykos with a red mark on the town where Ereman lives
The now eunuch Agramy wanted to cry, he castrated himself and what was worse was that he couldn’t prevent his body from obeying Daimon’s orders, Liz dispelled the fire chains which were keeping him in check and he returned to the body of the lizard man which surprisingly didn’t turn into coal, probably because of the fie tattoos which were covering most of its skin.
Even if his mental state was horrible right now, his body perfectly fulfilled the orders of his new “master” and left the now destroyed ice cave.
…
An uncomfortable silent fell on the place, Daimon took a deep breath and deactivated core synchrony, the manifestation phenomenon of a mage lord disappeared as he returned to be a peak one-star mage.
Liz hugged Daimon and repeatedly kissed him.
“Getting so angry because that asshole tried to make a move on me, what a possessive boyfriend ♥”.
Daimon took a moment to relax in Liz’s embrace, he buried his face in her breasts and let her soft body comfort him, after the sudden increase of mana in his body caused by core synchrony, he felt a bit tired.
“Fifteen minutes of continuous use, potentiated blink and demon light… the drawback is manageable”, he thought, once his breath returned to normal, Daimon let go of Liz, he took out a little bottle from his storage and applied the content on his hair to make it black again.
Then his eyes focused on Dimas.
“I wonder why didn’t you act when that guy attacked the fortress, if my evaluation isn’t wrong, that fire was enough to destroy the ice wall and affect the ones inside wasn’t it?”.
Dimas shrugged.
“None of them would have been harmed by the flames, the ice wall was thick enough for that… I wanted to confirm something, I hope you don’t take it personally, but that threatening aura around you is quite peculiar”.
“And you just wiped the floor with a peak mortal realm when you are only an early mortal realm, well I don’t know maybe you are a middle stage mortal realm, a moment ago it felt like that, I needed to make sure you weren’t… forget it, I owe you one and can we call it even?”.
Daimon didn’t really care, in any case Dimas didn’t have the obligation to protect them, that responsibility fell on the leader which in this case was him, but he was still curious about why Dimas didn’t stop Agramy’s attack.
“Well, he doesn’t know us and has been trapped in this place for who knows how many years, I guess it’s normal to not thrust in us”, he thought.
Daimon saw the sky and he smiled, a portal opened and Aura arrived using space shift, which signaled the end of all this situation, then he turned to see Dimas and spoke in a serious tone.
“Fine we’ll all forget about what just happened, but since now we are in a somewhat friendly relationship… I don’t want something like that to happen ever again, or you will be my enemy understood, and as you saw that is not a good idea”.
Dimas looked directly at Daimon, and his serpent like head nodded, no matter in which place you live, the golden rule is always the same, only strong people had the right to speak.
And now Dimas was sure Daimon had what it takes to be on equal standing with him.
“I thought that sister’s flames were scary, but I guess the real monster was you all the time, to get her and also that scary woman on the sky to follow you… I get it, no joking around with your class, just don’t break your promise and bring something delicious to eat later”.
Daimon laughed, he felt as if he was talking with a basilisk version of Calvin.
Dimas mentally let out a sigh of relief.
A moment ago, he felt a shiver on his scales, although Liz’s flames were enough to threat him, it wasn’t to the point where he was really afraid of her, but the frightening pressure he was feeling from Aura was on a completely different level.
“Damn, since when a mortal realm can be so strong, even if I weren’t limited by the formation, I’m not sure if I will be able to come put on top if we were to fight… I guess every place has talented people”, he thought.
Aura descended from the sky, her sharp gaze was directed at Dimas, with the pass of the years she has fought with a lot of magic beasts, including the only three half emperor magic beasts known in the whole stellar chart.
But she could easily tell the serpent in that magic formation was stronger than them, to the point that she was sure it would take her all to “hunt” it.
“A decent prey”, she mumbled with a smirk in her face.
Dimas felt a bit intimidated by Aura’s predator like gaze so she turned to see Daimon and cleared his throat.
“Ahem, my friend Daimon, please tell that girl I’m not an enemy”.
Daimon laughed.
“Take down the fortress, the others are not going to be happy if you keep them trapped inside”.
Dimas nodded, his scales illuminated and the fortress returned to the ground leaving the other students of the elite class including Aisha free.
Needless to say, but everyone had a lot of questions, a gate opened and Daimon suddenly left the fortress without saying anything, then not too long after the floor trembled and after that everything returned to normal, but they were still inside the fortress so they didn’t know who won.
And now the first thing they saw after leaving the fortress was that the principal, a respectable half emperor came all the way from the academy to this place for them… or more accurately for Daimon.
Yvonne frowned her brows, she didn’t see Agramy among the presents and she was worried that it escaped, since one of his subordinates tried to kill Liliana just because of her affinity with ice.
“Where is that spirit guy, did he flee?”.
Daimon shook his head.
“Don’t worry, he was taken care of… in fact our elite class will be getting a “pet” soon, but for now let’s take the things the Greenwich Sage left and take our leave”.
Calvin sighed.
“We didn’t do anything though, when it was important, we weren’t able to contribute at all”, he said as he stole a couple of gazes at Loren.
He could more or less understand why Daimon left the fortress, because the expression on his face was the same as when they were at the happy wanderer and he somehow noticed someone was messing with Aisha.
And he could respect that, but then he asked to himself, “What would happen if it was Loren the one in trouble… will I be able to help her?”, and that’s what was running on his mind right now.
Daimon could notice how his classmates felt, because he felt the same when he compared himself with his soulmates, everyone of them was far stronger than him, if not for core synchrony he would have been limited to stay in the fortress and be protected by Liz.
“Don’t say that, didn’t we agree to be the strongest elite class in all the history?”.
Everyone’s mood got better, so what if they weren’t strong right now, that’s why they came to the academy anyway.
