The Demon

Bang !!!

A shockwave erupted . Gena was thrown to land rolling to the side due to the shockwave created.

Mia and Priscilla held their ground as debris flew everywhere .

They looked to see what had gone own . Cole had stopped the punch. His hand was fully covered in thick coated mana .

However something was terribly long with him . His ears had elongated to that of an elf and his eyes had turned scarlet . However what came as terribly wrong was not his new features but rather his grin . 

Mia felt dread looking at that face . Her entire core shivered but she wasn't the only one Gena and Priscilla too felt it . How could they not ? 

His face had contorted into a maniacal grin . His teeth currently looked as sharp and full of bloodthirst as it could ever be . His eyes showed a hint of playfulness and sadism .

Generally his whole expression conveyed that a sadistic torture session was about to occur .

[ Species Skill activated : Berserk 20% : Ten times increase in physical stats however considerable decrease in sanity and an increase in insatiable thirst for killing. ]

[ Skill has cooldown of a month ]

Jasmine felt those cold sadistic eyes pry into her soul. A repressed memory unlocked within her as she gave a small growl before throwing a punch. Cole in his berserk stage countered with his own punch coated with mana.

BANG !! BANG !! BANG !!

The ground shook as shockwave after shockwave was formed . The spring formed small waves on each punch . The both seemed on even ground as they traded blows at an incredibly fast speed .

Jasmine felt the energy in her body reach it's limits. She jumped back to escape standing on the spring but the maniac followed her with a kick.

She blocked but the force sent her to the cave wall 

BOOM!! 

A massive chunk of the cave was destroyed. Before Jasmine could catch her breath , she saw a silhouette jump towards with an extremely rich mana coated kick . She dodged to the side.

BANG!! 

BOOM!!

Jasmine took that time to summon her gauntlet . This would enhance her attack twofold . She punched Cole's chest making him fly to the other side of the wall narrowly dodging Mia.

Jasmine used this opportunity to use all her qi and direct it to the gauntlet. She knew sooner than later the battlefield would shift to the spring and if she didn't handle her little problem she would explode.

Cole recovered quickly and he exploded in flames . The temperature in the cave drastically raised to the point it was akin to the temperature of the first area. And all of it came from a single being. Cole blitzed to Jasmine.

Jasmine who was ready for him threw her fist but Cole dodged easily as he got a hold of her and threw her to the spring. Despite losing his sanity , Cole seemed to make logical decisions.

The group watched in stupor at this display of fighting . They couldn't keep up with their movements as all of them specialized in magic. But even if they were martial artists they had to have reached saint level to see the movements.

Jasmine felt that her arm that Cole had thrown her with was charred . However thanks to her species incredible regeneration , it healed in no time.

She blitzed to Cole and Cole did the same . They jumped to meet each other fist to fist but just at that time , everything remained frozen in time.

The ripples of water remained suspended in motion , the reaction of the group , the debris scattered everywhere. Only the eyes of two people could move and that was Jasmine's and Cole.

Cole had seemed to regain his sanity and everything felt as if he had woken up with a hangover. His head hurt as memories of the fight quickly rushed in. It was weird as he seemed to be the one who did all this but his personality wasn't like that. 

It was like a drunkard who woke up from a hangover and a friend sent that person files and videos showing how much fun they had. The drunkard would stare in disbelief and say he would never do that in his right mind.

Slowly a blue light appeared and it quickly shown brightly as a being of pure ominous aura appeared in the form of a little girl with a ponytail. The little girl looked quite sweet but that malicious aura showed her true nature. 

" You guys were really interesting " She said in a sweet angelic voice. 

" I would really want this to continue but it would really be a hassle fixing everything after the fight soooo... " The girl looked at both of them with a mischievous and predatory expression. 

Cole internally shuddered . That expression was like that of a little girl who found a doll and wanted to fully experiment on it and it didn't help that she was really a little girl. 

" I will be taking you two to the real third and final test . But don't worry , time flows quite fast where am taking you so at most it will be an hour to them and they won't escape . " She said .

This settled Jasmine's worry of finding Gena gone or too strong for her to contend with . 

The girl looked amusedly at their eyes as she looked at their souls. They were indeed both interesting.

" Another thing is that only one will get my inheritance . You can both survive or one of you can depending on you two . I will have no say. " She said in a an angelic tone. 

" Anyway I already know your answer as no one would actually reject power so byeee~ " She said as she disappeared. 

Still frozen in time , the water started moving and gathered at one point before exploding at the two and covering them . It then slowly started solidifying and fully encasing the two in ice. 

Cole felt his consciousness drift as he found himself in a familiar room . The room had a bed that had the beddings in disarray , clothes were everywhere a typical teenagers room.

Suddenly the door swung opened and a girl entered in to see a 15 year old Cole

Cole looked at the girl a person he hadn't seen in a while. 

" Alyssa ?"
