50 Demon Hunters (2/2)

”...?”

”Leave now,Akto.”Said Liann after she saw Rainer rescuing Hank.

”Stockholm syndrome? Impossible, it's only been a couple of hours...” She thought.

”Rainer!” Alisha had witnessed the confrontation and she prayed for Rainer's safety.

Woosh!

The air seemed to be splitting as two bodies appeared in the room!

”I did it! I was able to carry someone to the void with me!” Shouted Rainer excited.

”...”

Hank, for his part, was spitting foam out of his mouth and one could see the white part of his eyes, it seemed that he would never forget this day.

”Can you explain to me what's going on here?” Asked Liann.

...

So you just wanted a fight...you've already had it, you brave fool... ”Liann started ranting against Hank who had barely regained consciousness.

”Sorry, miss, I didn't know you were a Great Guardian, please spare my life!” In the face of death, everyone was equal, and Hank begged for his life.

”...”

Rainer didn't expect Hank to be such a coward in front of someone more powerful than him.

”Can't you forgive him,Liann? He has taught me a new spatial technique!”Rainer tried to appeal in Hank's favor.

”I can do it, but for the proper price...” She said.

”Of course, you are my guests, and I will send you a box full of magical beast cores!”Hank seemed to find a rope as he was suspended from a precipice.

”We'll take it gladly...” Said Liann as she smiled.

...

After the turmoil, the city lord and his guards arrived, after clearing up the 'misunderstanding', the city lord was delighted to offer free accommodation to Liann and her 'servants'.

After all, Hank had told the city lord how Liann almost killed him in two moves with her ''spiritual beast''!

”Didn't I tell you not to go out? ”Liann scolded Rainer.

”He came and practically forced me to go with him, there was nothing I could have done...”

”In addition, he helped me get a new understanding about spatial energy, now I can apply it to objects and people!” Said Rainer excited.

”Well, thank goodness that guy was so scared that he didn't discover that Akto is a devil...or we would have several problems.”Sighed Liann.

”Why would there be problems? The war ended a long time ago.”Asked Rainer.

”Yes, but the fact that there is no war does not mean that other races are not being persecuted and discriminated ... There was a group of human anti-demons called demon hunters, they believed that demons were impure beings that had to be purged in order for world peace to reign...”

”I heard that after the great war, they were against the peace and created an alliance, I think they are now a kind of religion or something like that... ”Liann was furious while she was talking about the demon hunters, apparently, during the great war many demons died in their hands.

”Listen to me, Rainer, this is the main reason why you mustn't let anyone discover your true identity, if any demon hunter discovers you, they will kill you without any questions and no one will say or do anything about it...”

”I wanted to tell you before, but I couldn't find the right moment...” Said Liann as she sighed.

”It seems the world is not as simple as people paint it, many people are pulling the strings behind the scenes...” Rainer thought as he kept these demon hunters on his enemy list.
