Chapter Eight: The Second Demon Lord
"Looks like Amon got himself whipped." A voice in the shadows said.
"Ah yes, I think you ought to finish what he start?" Lucifer said.
The two demon lord was at Lucifer's dwelling, Legeps Fort. A place where reality becomes blurred, those who ventured here never returned..
"Oh yes, I would." A beautiful woman stepped out of the shadows. "I am Lilith of Lust, I will use what men most desire." She finished with a smile.

"We've arrived in Aspire." Arjen told the the party.
"This town is scary.." Jasmin looked shaken.
"Everything here has been tainted by demonic energy so no what object it is, most likely it would be dangerous. Be careful."

The party was resting in a inn when a dense mist enveloped the whole village. Making it almost impossible to navigate through. "Flare" Arjen casted a spell to clear the mist but it was to no avail. "This is a magical mist. We are under attack, it seems."
"By who?" Fabio asked.
"I've no idea. Ladies, stay back. Weiss, protect Marin and Jasmin. " Arjen told them. "Aurora"
A extreme large beam of light blasted through the wall on their right, and the wall emitted a scream that chilled the party's soul. Almost immediately, a huge number of people surrounded them.
"Who are you people?" Arjen inquired.
"We are from the Freedom Clan of assassins. Prepare for your demise." One of the opponent answered.
"Using such words only seems to make you weak." Arjen raised a hand, "Flash" A bright light emanated from his hand burned away all of them. "Seems like our demise will come after theirs" Arjen remarked to Fabio sarcastically.
Fabio chuckled and in the middle of his laughter, his head was sliced off.. Cleanly..
"FABBBIOOOO!!!"
A woman in black appear. "I'm the leader of Freedom Guild. And it seems that you people like carnage. Killed off all my men I see?"
Arjen kept his cool despite Fabio's death. "Looks like we will have alot to talk about? Do we?" Arjen disappeared in a blink..
Appearing behind the woman, he stabbed her, driving his sword through her torso. The woman then fainted but Arjen can't bring himself to kill her. "Jasmin, heal her."
"Are you nuts? She killed FABIO!!"
"Do it."
Jasmin call forth particles of the air to reverse the wounds of the woman. Then she pressed her hand against her head and shouted, "AWAKEN!"
"Spellbind Prison" The spell Arjen casted sealed the woman into a circle of power which then imprisoned her.
"Who are you?"
"Aerith Fetalle."
"Why did you attack?"
"I need to protect the town from anymore harm. I thought you were Amon's agents."
"Amon is dead, Aerith."
"Really?" She broke down crying.
"Why are you crying?"
"I killed your friend.."
"Because you wanted to protect the village.?"
"He has got an demonic aura in him. Search his clothing." She sobbed.
Arjen found an orb which could be released into Damien's weapon. "Del Vlad's. Let me cleanse it."
Over an hour had passed, Arjen had then finished cleansing the weapon. "Marin, use this."
"ME?"
"YES."
Marin took the orb from Arjen. Arjen then explained, "It's a trident which controls fire."
"Oh.. I see.."
Turning back to Aerith, "you are right. My friend was corrupted by the orb. I trusted him enough not to sense what's within him. He was violent in that fight against Amon. Corrupted by Wrath." Arjen released her from her prison.
"May I know of your powers, Aerith?"
Aerith pulled out her sword, "I can control water. My sword's name is Ichorous. And I can manipulate water in the air using my magic."
"Intriguing. Do you want to join my party? To rid the world of the seven Demon Lords."
"Could I?"
"Yes, if you want to."
"Alright."
So the McAteers lost one of their most prominent fighters but gained one whose powers are unknown yet managed to slice off Fabio's head. A task, even Damien Del Vlad, an archdemon fail to do..
