Reincarnated to become a Demon Supreme-Chapter 40: A Chance Encounter

"Be careful, he doesn’t appear like any normal demon I have come across," Sasha advised. This piqued Alex’s interest, It would appear his saviour is quite experienced. And she sounds so young too. ’ from which dimension is she from I wonder’

He proceeds to take up a defensive stance, waiting to see what the demon has in store. When the demon heard what the veiled girl said, his eye suddenly changed, from casual to serious. The air around him changed as well.

This sudden change in demeanour surprised Alex. "You there, under the hoodie, Who exactly are you? And why do you possess such knowledge" His eyes narrowed trying to unveil the secrets the dark hoodie is hiding from him.

"You ask with such confidence. Why should I tell you, with that arrogance of yours and strength you give off, you are without a doubt a young master from one of the 12"

Shock hit the demon, the events of the underworld are secret and unknown to outsiders. Even the creatures from the underworld, known for their greed and unloyalty would rather swallow broken glass than divulge the truth of the 12.

"Fine, I was going to just kill at first, but now it seems I have to extract some info from you before I give you one of the hellish deaths you could possibly think of."

Alex walked in front of the girl. But he made sure to leave some space within them. "And here I thought you were here for me, I’m starting to get jealous, care if I joined in the fun" He extended out his arm, Mouha materialised from thin air.

’Power to override reality and allow you to use technology despite the laws. Of course an abomination such as you would be granted such a power. No matter, your life is mine’

With that he stumped his leg on the floor, a huge crack formed, revealing magma inside

Demon Art: Lava Manipulation

Lava from the pit started to grow tentacles. The heat there was so unbearable that trees and plants in the vicinity just started to combust. The air felt so dry that breathing felt toucherous. Alex felt as though he was being cooked alive.

His shadow suddenly started to move from his leg going up. Soon it covered his full body before it changed into an armour. Seeing this the smug face the demon wore a moment ago wore off.

Bam!

In an instant one of the tentacles hit Alex right across his chest. He never got the chance to register what just happened. These attacks sent him breaking through multiple trees before he came to a stop. ’Well, that completely changed how I view lava’. As he was about to get up, multiple trees came out of nowhere.

He quickly swung his scythe, The anti-matter attack turned the trees into nothing. He then picked up one small plant. ’Let me see how size manipulation works.’

He threw it with as much strength as he could master. In the air, the small plant grew in size. By the time it reached the demon, it was the size of a bus, The lava tentacles were able to catch it. Just as it was planning to throw it too. An anti-matter attack came and disintegrated the plant.

Followed by another attack that erased the lava pit, only living out a deep hole. The demon held its hands together. Then a flaming came out slowly as they moved apart just on time to parry Alex’s scythe.

"Nice skills boy. But you still have no match". A kick flowed, which Alex failed to avoid. The demon quickly shifted right in front of him and started to hit him with a barrage of fist attack. A few cracks started to show on Alex’s chaos armour. With a hand motion up from the demon, A large amount of lava suddenly gushed out from the ground, fully swallowing Alex.

"You didn’t think that hole I created there was to extract lava, did you? Sorry to burst your bubble but my demon arts conjures lava. You should know this as you are not like humans who have to borrow their power. But I’m not surprised by you thinking, you came from there after all"

Alex could feel the chaos armour fighting to keep him from being swallowed by the flaming heat from the lava. But this close the heat was starting to get to him. It was as if he was a brazen bull, being cooked alive. Sasha who has been sitting aside, trying to see how long Alex would last. Prepare herself to enter the battle.

"Well look who is trying to take all the glory to himself. Khulara, I knew a lucky bustard like you would find him first, which is why the first thing I did once I got here is track your blood"

The demon looked up, and saw that it was another from the 12 Demon King household. "Backley, should have known a scheming bustard like you would have something like this on his sleeve. Do you really want to fight me over my catch?"

The new arrival started to descend. After touching the ground he took off the cape he had on his back, it appeared to be some kind of Treasure that allowed the wearer the ability to fight, Such a Treasure was without a doubt a rare rank. And cost a hefty some to get.

"Ow no, It seems you have already won, so as the rules suggest, you get the win." Khulara was suspicious when he heard that. The rules do apply but who is here to enforce them. There are many cases where the Demon backstabbed one another because of greed while they were in the field.

There rules are there just to breed the illusion of cooperation, but there has never been any sort of cooperation within the demon kind. Only transactional. "Backley, stop beating about the bush, state your case. Or this cheap attempt to get me to lower my guard is quite disappointing"
