Chapter 4 - The Church (2/2)

”I can't give her the potion unless I take her back to my church to see the source of the demon curse,” Selah informs Dante as lifts Mira onto her shoulders and walks outside the cave.

”How do you know she even has a demon curse!?” Dante asked in a pissed off manner, he was being too overprotective of his older sister.

”Because you have it too. And if you are not strong enough then the cursed demon blood inside your body will consume you. From the looks of it, you don't look like a pureblood Dragon Slayer so you must have an ancient demon bloodline. The blue fireball magic you just used right now must be Take Over magic? Am I right?” Selah grins, it was like she had known Dante her whole life.

”H-how do you know this?” Dante's silver eyes start shaking with shock and confusion.

”Let's just say I have a good eye when I see someone who can become a great mage.” She winked at him. ”Would you like to have a pork belly roast and some buŧŧered bread? You look like you are about to die any second. Hahaha!” Her laughs were ghastly for a woman of her young age.

”Holy Barrier!” Selah lifts up her white staff made up of ancient oak trees and dragon bones.

A large golden barrier made entirely of mana surrounded Elfman, Dante, Mirajane, and Lisanna.

”Woah!” Shouts Lisanna with sparkling eyes. She was amazed at Selah's magic powers.

”There is way more magic I can teach you, youngsters. Even though I think you have the perfect teacher.” She looks over to the unconscious Mira on her slender shoulders.

”Yeah, we do. Now let's go save her life!” Dante insisted as they all ran towards Selah's church which was about a mile away. It was covered by thick forest trees. That's why Dante wasn't able to spot it. The church was a grand sight. Its bricks were all colored in white and gold paint. On top of the church was a magical golden symbol of a Hryda Beast.

The four Strauss children had finally found a new home.
