Chapter 59 - Sealing (1/2)

As soon as the girl asked Luke to rest, he knelt down and propped himself up with the remains of his blade.

”You think you can do it alone?” he questioned her as the Demon hovered a few feet above them.

”Are you kidding? I kill at least one Demon a month, so sealing one won't be hard at all.” She replied, and then a gauntlet appeared in each hand, both only made of light.

Then the girl's leap upwards resembled more of teleportation because, during a blink of an eye, she had already appeared in front of the Demon. Holding a small cube in her left hand, she struck the Demon, and in a pulse of power, they both vanished into thin air.

In front of the half-wolf fell the cube she held before, now flashing between black and white. Luke already trusted the girl and felt that this had not been a suicide, so he waited patiently in front of the cube.

Sealings are, above all, mental battles; for this reason, it is also not possible to seal most monsters because most of them have no consciousness; however, the case of demons is different.

Forced to relive their memories, the Demon and the girl have been thrown into a once distant and now very real past.

As part of the sealing, both were unaware that sealing was taking place, and the one who allowed himself to be trapped in this cycle of memories would then be sealed.

”Do it soon! Clean up in here too!”

Every day, at Dmitry home, was noisy. This was because Alexis' mother was not an easy person to deal with and also abused the girl's energy a lot.

”Ah! And don't forget this here!” She shouted to the little girl while pointing to a small pot with withered plants. ”I can't believe you forgot to take care of the plants. That's unacceptable!”

The little girl didn't open her mouth to say a word and continued cleaning everything as ordered with a smile on her face. She was only five years old, and yet she worked in that huge house from morning until dusk every day for the past few months.

Alexis didn't mind tidying up; she was just happy that she now had a person to spend the whole day with. Since she was newly adopted, she also didn't want to complain of fear of being returned to the orphanage.

However, her peaceful life was utterly transformed within a few weeks. During sunset, a group of men on horseback stopped in front of the house. The madam promptly went to attend to them, and Alexis continued cleaning the guest bathroom.

A few minutes passed until the girl came out of the bathroom to get clean water from the well in the back of the house, so she passed near the entrance room and heard the following conversation:

”You've owed us for a long time, you have to pay even the minimum per month.” The man with the hat and beard vociferated, sitting down on one of the white couches.

”You have great furniture and a great house. Why don't you sell something soon and pay us back?” Another man spoke, analyzing the paintings on the walls and crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

”É... It's only forty gold coins, or if you want, we can get it in silver coins too, it would only be twenty thousand silver coins.”

The woman, who was tapping her foot on the floor in nervousness, was very hasty about everything in that house and was already regretting having bet so much on Kaloru's games.

However, as soon as she caught a glimpse of Alexis walking by, she had an idea.

”Hey, you! Come here! No, drop that there!” she said, after seeing that she was carrying the bucket with her as well.

The men, who were wearing metal hats and boots, looked curiously at the little red-haired girl and noticed small horns sticking out of her head. They were mostly red, but both of them had a yellowish crack.
