In his own mind, Zenis had never fought anyone so he didn't understand how he theoretically should have, but there was no way he was going to let this pathetic excuse for male use his body that he had trained to it's limits.
,,I'll give you a unique chance to surrender, if you don't take it it will end very badly for you demon,,
At his remark, Tary's veins popped on his neck and several veins in his eyes burst, causing blood to flow from his eyes.
,,I've had enough of everyone looking down on me! I won't let this happen again and you'll be the first one I'll prove that I'm powerful!" Tary flew towards Zenis, planning to punch him so hard that his head would fly off.
Zenis, waiting for him to reach him, noticed that thanks to Tary's anger his body changed a bit, he now had grown gray horns pointing upwards and a black tail adding more 'danger' to his appearance.
At least that's what a normal person would think, but Zenis was not normal, the only thought Zenis had was ,,cute,, he said out loud and in his mind added "and also awfully slow" stopping Tary's fist a few centimeters in front of his face.
,,What did you say...?,, Tary lowered his hand and looked Zenis in the eyes ,,did you just called me cute? In this form?,, not believing his ears, Tary took a step towards Zenis as if to feel if this weird human was lying to him or not ,,are you serious?,, he muttered in annoyed and kinda hopeful voice.
,,I mean it, your horns, your tail and your face are cute for a guy,, Zenis nodded and tilted his head to the side ,,Why? No one has ever said that to you?,,.
That was the problem, Zenis hit exactly where no one had before and Tary didn't understand how or why he reacted like that.
,,Stop trying to manipulate me! I've had enough of everyone trying to use me! First the demons in our realm, then Mason and now you! I've had enough of being used!,, his angry roar slowly turned into a desperate whimper.
,,why doesn't anyone want me for who I am?!,, Tary walked over to Zenis and put his head on his chest ,,why doesn't anyone care what's in my heart instead of my head?,, he sobbed into Zenis's clothes and grabbed him around the neck, too weak in the knees to stand.
,,I don't want to use you,, Zenis whispered and wiped the tears from his face with his thumb, the only thing I want is to protect the people who are close to me, which you are now too,, Zenis stroked his head and pushed his hair back so he could see his face clearly.
,,how about making a little deal Tary? I will make sure you never feel lonely or used again and you will protect me with all your might, what do you think?,, Zenis smiled and offered him his hand.
Looking at his palm, Tary raised his tear-stained face to face Zenis's face ,,you promise?,, he muttered desperately.
,,I promise,, Zenis nodded and took Tary's hand and shook it ,,will you show me the way out of here now?,,.
Tary nodded and pointed to the door a little way from them that had just appeared there ,,can I have one more small request before you leave?,, Tary grabbed Zenis's hand hoping for a positive answer.
,,of course, what do you want?,,
,,Kill Mason, that bastard used me and then threw me away like a piece of trash he doesn't need, I will give you all my power if you accept,,.
At his request Zenis chuckled, Mason had been on his enemy list for a while, but to get even more power to take care of him? Sounds like a dream come true!
,,I'll take care of him, not today, not tomorrow, but I will,, Zenis ruffled Tary's hair for the last time and walked through the door.
The moment Zenis disappeared, a person with gray hair appeared behind Tary, covering his eyes and showing only a crazy smile.
Feeling presence behind him Tary slowly turned around to see that person who gave him bad feeling.
,,....Anomaly..? There's someone with me in your head-,, before he could finish, the person jumped on him ,, AH FUCK-,,.
In real world
Dazne was starting to worry because it had been a few minutes and Zenis still hadn't woken up. In a moment of despair, she remembered how Zenis read her fairy tales when she was younger about princesses that were awakened by a kiss.
Thinking about whether to do it or not, she leaned down to him and lightly kissed him on the lips.
If only it had stayed that way, the feeling she got the moment their lips met was shocking and unnaturally pleasant to her.
Touching his chest she felt a faint beating of her heart which made her wish their hearts beat in the same rhythm.
Before she could do anything else Zenis opened his eyes and looked into her face full of ecstasy which she had thanks to the kiss.
Zenis now quite surprised put his hand between her breasts on her chest which caused Dazne to stop and slowly pull away ,,my God I-,,.
Without a shred of effort Zenis lifted her with the help of his hand and threw her aside against the wall which caused many medical equipment to fall from the table to the ground.
,,mhm I feel his strength and I can see a clear difference,, Zenis muttered and clenched his fist, after waking up he noticed that his skin looked a little pale, but with a little effort it would look completely normal.
,,You satisfied me with the result of the operation Dazne, I am very pleased,, Zenis jumped a few times getting used to the strengthened body and came to Dazne who was kneeling in pain.
Despite the pain, Dazne understood that his anger was completely valid ,,Thank you God-,,.
,,However, I am dissatisfied that you took advantage of the moment when I was unconscious and used my body for your satisfaction,,.
This is it, the moment when Dazne disappointed her God as much as possible, disappointed in herself, despite the neutral expression she had, a tear escaped from the corner of her eye and ran down her face to her chin.
,,However, everyone makes mistakes, we are humans of course,, Zenis grabed her chin, wiped her tear and lifted her head ,,never even think about doing it again without my permission,,. Zenis stroked her cheek and left.
Meanwhile in the city of Litach
Parker entered the hotel room where Mason was sitting on the bed with a laptop on his lap ,,how was the walk?,, he smiled at Parker.
Remembering that Zenis had chosen Lyrie instead of him left a bad taste in his mouth ,,I met Zenis, we exchanged a few blows and that's all. Parker shrugged and sat on the other bed next to Mason.
As soon as Mason heard name Zenis, he immediately closed the laptop and looked at Parker,,you met Zenis? Is he here? Tell me where so we can-,,.
,,he's gone already, he went with some strange chick after a small fight in a liquor store,, Parker shrugged and turned on his cell phone.
''girl? Don't tell me some slut is trying to steal him again" Mason took the coffee mug but before he could drink it the mug broke and shattered on the ground.
,,mhm never mind, I'll show him soon that I'm the only one he has to look at,, Mason raised his hand as if reaching for something and laughed ,,just wait I'll show you and the world!,,.
Back with Zenis
Zenis was sitting across from Lyria in the kitchen completely fine while she looked at him in shock, her mouth open.
,,I heard Ourka took good care of you, but don't worry, Dazne will bring some medicine in a moment that should help you,, Zenis smiled a little.
Thanks to such a small friendly gesture, Lyria smiled from ear to ear and felt like she could cry again. Finally someone sees her as more than a disappointment!
,,Lyria, before I send you away I need make sure I know who you really are, don't worry you can trust me with-,,
Before he could finish, Lyria jumped in ,,I'll take you to my boss, I'm sure he'll give you a quality and well-paid job! Ourka mentioned that you're pretty low on money so it's more than my pleasure to help!,,.
Smiling Zenis nodded ,,okay,, ''seems like Ourka and her mouth talked too much again, this is exactly the reason why I hardly tell anything to her''. Zenis thought and before he could react his hand flew out behind him and caught Luna who wanted to scare Zenis.
,,eh?,, she looked nervously at her caught hand and then at Zenis, no longer so playful.
,,go to your room and do your homework,, Zenis squeezed her wrist a little as treath and immediately let her go ''really, why am I even wasting my time here with these people?''.
Zenis stood up and helped Lyria to her feet ,,call your boss, I'm going shopping, if you need anything Dazne will help you,, Zenis took his coat and left.
In the living room Ourka watched angrily from the couch as Zenis left ''always Dazne this, Dazne that, me and Luna exist too, does he even know that? Sometimes I feel like he doesn't care about us'' she thought and quickly got up and walked over to Lyria.
,,hey can I ask how did you get to know Zenis? He doesn't bring many people home, especially not an injured person like you,,.
Lyria blushed at her remark, does that mean she's special to him? She liked that a lot.
,,um, we met for the first time today at the store....I wasn't the nicest person to him and one thing led to another yet he still ended up helping me,, Lyria smiled from ear to ear.
,,he helped you....? Just like that? You didn't give him anything?,, Ourka looked at Dazne who was sitting right next to her in disbelief.
,,don't look at me, I've been here with you all day,, Dazne shot Ourka a hostile look and crossed her arms.
She didn't like at all that she had to take care of a grown woman who was a little injured and listening to annoying Ourka was worst combination in history.
Without another thought, Dazne got up,,I'm going to train, if you want anything, call me,, she muttered and went to the front of the house to the lawn where the wooden doll was.
Remembering her moment of weakness when she let herself be carried away and almost raped Zenis, Dazne started hitting the wood so hard that each blow left a dent.
Inside the house, Lyria and Okurka watched Dazne who was anything but calm while destroying the doll.
,,I have a feeling she doesn't like me very much,, Lyria whispered as if she was afraid that Dazne could hear her.
,,She's like that with almost all the new people who came here,, Ourka lied, because it was clear to her that Dazne didn't like her, but Zenis liked her for some reason and she didn't want to spoil her mood.
Meanwhile, a few kilometers away,
Zenis finally reached the store and nodded at the girl behind the counter who he had known for a good few months.
The girl behind the counter was about 17 years old, about 170 centimeters tall, which was a little shorter than Zenis. She had a small white cap on top of her head and a brown, fluffy wolfcut hairstyle reaching her naturally endowed breasts, green eyes and she was wearing a long green apron.
Her name is Kaia Lynn, she has worked here for 2 years and yet she has only talked to a few people who were polite and didn't treat her like a less important person just because she works there.
As she watched Zenis, she noticed that his skin was more pale than usual and he was even taller by a little than before, which caused her to have a lot of erotic ideas in her head.
As Zenis was walking through the shelves, he heard a soft moaning ''what the heck'' he thought and without noticing he peeked into the shelf where no one usually was.
On the ground was a boy with ruby red hair and black eyes, and on him was a blonde girl who was riding him like a horse.
The boy was holding her mouth tightly so that she wouldn't make any extra noise, which didn't work at all because she moaned every moment she could.
Without any hesitation, Zenis quickly took out his phone and recorded a short video of how they did it and a few photos from different angles.
After making sure that both of them were recognizable in the photos, he quickly walked to the counter with his purchase and put it on his belt.
,,How was your day Zenis-kun? Anything exciting?,, she smiled at him with a flirtatious smile.
,,Surprisingly yes, I saw someone fucking behind those shelves now, you should probably check it,, he pointed a thumb behind him.
,,...are you kidding me?,,
,,nope,, Zenis put his things in his bag and before he could leave he turned to Kaia ,,that outfit under the apron looks good,, he muttered and left the store.
At his remark, Kaia blushed with a huge smile, hearing a compliment from someone as attractive as him was a respect that only a few earned.
One of the reasons why Kaia liked Zenis was that he was honest with her about what was attractive about her and didn't try to hide behind sugar lies.
On the way home, Zenis stopped at an alley where a blond guy with green eyes, a green t-shirt and military pants was leaning against the wall.
,,It's been a while, hasn't it, Enox?,, the man laughed in a deep voice and walked over to Zenis who hadn't even looked at him yet.
,,Speaking of being apart for a while, haven't you grown up? You also have a whiter skin, have you been on a trip to Dracula or something?,, before he could continue speaking, Zenis looked at him with a serious expression.
Only at his serious expression did the man grinned and stop talking ,,How about going for a drink?,, the man pointed to the bar across the street.
,,I'm 14.... And you're an old man who gives orders to-,, before Zenis could argue the man put his finger to his lips ,,I'm sure we'll both need a drink and what kind of person would say no to me?...
Zenis sighed at his smile and went with him to the bar.
As soon as they entered all eyes landed on Zenis who attracted attention with his young features on his face, but as soon as they noticed the man next to him they immediately turned away.
At the bar Zenis sat on a chair and leaned against the table ,,one Black Daniels please and a coke in the other glass,, Zenis nodded at the bartender who shot him a serious look.
,,Boy, this is a place for adults, you shouldn't be here at all, so get out before I call security-,, before he could finish his threat the man sat down next to Zenis.
At his presence the bartender immediately jumped and started shaking slightly ,,o-oh hello, mister Raven, what are you doing here?,,.
Raven smiled at the bartender and patted Zenis on the shoulder ,,give this young man what he asked for, we have a serious day ahead of us,, Raven laughed.
,,Don't touch me with your dirty hands,, Zenis said loudly enough for Raven and the bartender to hear and looked him in the eyes.
Quickly pulling his hand away, Raven laughed nervously ,,my bad, sometimes I forget that you don't like human contact, please forgive me,, Raven rubbed the back of his head and looked at the bartender who quickly poured what Zenis wanted and a whiskey for Raven.
The bartender who had never seen Raven be scared of anything or anyone was now smiling nervously at the 14 year old boy, not only did it seem like Raven saw him as a friend, but someone in a higher position!
After taking the first sip from his glass, Zenis looked ahead and began to speak ,,so please tell me what happened that the army general has a problem with me,,.
At his straightforward question, Raven laughed a little and drank the seams of his own glass before continuing to speak.
,,Sorry I caught you on the way home from shopping, but when I saw you I had no choice,, before he could continue speaking, Zenis squeezed the glass in his hand so that it cracked and threatened to shatter completely.
,,Don't play with me and tell me straight, do you understand?,, Raven was now sweating profusely at his threat and his legs were shaking a lot.
,,Okay... Raven took a deep breath and looked at Zenis with a serious look, this time without a smile.
,,It's bad, we have a theory that they are here again and if it's true we'll need more people like you,, at his serious expression, Zenis grinned with an unpleasant expression, even though his smile reached both sides, his eyes did not show even a hint of changes.
,,How many mages do you have? Do you have anyone I know?,, Zenis shook his head, this is one of the few chances to find more people worth looking into.
Without another word, Raven took out an envelope and handed it to Zenis.
,,These are all people who have super abilities, or as you call it 'talent', we haven't found any more for now,,.
According to Zenis, there are 3 types of people in this world, people with talent, people who receive skills, and ordinary people without abilities.
Talent
Talent is a type of ability that a person must be born with, in most cases it is inherited from parents or distant ancestors, but there are rare moments when a child is born first in a family tree with an ability.
Skill
A skill on the other hand is something that can be learned using Grimoires that are all over the world waiting for someone to open them and start learning, after someone opens the grimoire no one else will be able to see anything in it. The most unfortunate are those who think they can learn it but despite all their efforts they will vnever understand what is written in the book.
This information was only discovered by Zenis and Mason when they were testing different types of mages in critical situations for fun.
Yes, it was when Zenis and Mason was younger and alone and there was no magic club, yet they were threats to society and maybe even to the entire human race.
,,please can you tell me how the Military with a bunch of mages can't kill a few stupid demons without my help?,,
