172 Chapter 172: The Cousins: Dynhir and Eve

After a blinding light, it just went away after a few seconds. The royal family turned around as the black ash that filled their eyes flew around.

“Did I surprise you?” Reed asked.

Everyone looked up where Reed was. Reed went down slowly as their eyes followed. His wings disappeared when he put one of his feet on the ground. Reed never took his eye off the royal families. Eve’s and Dynhir’s parents are there.

“How...”

Reed smiled and then started walking. With every step he took, the royal family retreated because they were surrounded by soldiers and mages.

“You have two options. Live and stay my ally and follower, or die like traitorous demons who have shown they are weaker than the humans they hate and make fun of.” 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

Every demon looked at each other. Reed thought that the soldiers and mages were beginning to think.

“I’ll keep counting...”

Every demon took a deep breath, and Reed felt their fear.

.....

Meanwhile, the traitorous cousins arrived in their realm, just as Devin had expected. The two wore different clothes, as if a big explosion had occurred. And their power is different, as is something about their auras. Devin could tell they were weak, but he couldn’t care less.

“Hey Devin, did you miss f—king me?” Eve asked, smiling.

The two were standing just outside Reed’s yard.

Devin chuckled at what Eve said. “I miss masturbating, actually...”

Eve grinned. Devin noticed that Eve’s eyes weren’t focused. It was looking for someone, and he knew for sure who it was. Luckily, Reed’s power was strong when he made the shield. But he remembered that Eve could get in.

“Oh, poor demon...” Eve said.

“What are you doing here?” Devin asked.

“I want to meet Reed’s son,” Dynhir said.

“Hmmm...” Devin put both of his hands into his pockets. “Why?” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

“Do you know what is happening in the other world?”

“As for what’s going on there, it’s up to the people who are still there. I’m here.”

“Reed still has his power,” Dynhir spoke quietly.

“He will not leave that child or that person unprotected,” Eve said. “Are you worrying? It’s just Devin. He’s not as strong as Reed. We can win over him.”

Dynhir took a deep breath, then started letting out black smoke and touching the shield that Reed had made. Electricity can be seen sparking around the edge of the shield. Eve smiled and began to walk into the house’s yard. Devin didn’t move, even though he was looking at the sparks of electricity that kept happening around him.

Eve released black smoke and moved it around with both hands like she was shaping it.

Devin took his hands out of his pockets and let out black smoke. Eve quickly threw the stale black smoke, but Devin was able to stop it. Even though he isn’t as strong as Reed, he can beat Eve’s power on his own, but if Eve and Dynhir work together, he won’t be able to. Dynhir is strong because he is the prince of the incubus in the realm and the only heir, just like Reed.

Sparks can be seen falling off of the shield. Anton and Becky were brought there by black smoke, so as soon as they got there, they stopped Dynhir from destroying the shield. The two soldiers rushed toward Dynhir one after the other. With just one hand, a strong force made the two soldiers fly away until they hit a power pole.

When Devin saw that, he could focus on Eve. Eve attacked again, and it pulled out a 10-inch-long knife with a flame wrapped around its blade. Devin quickly doused you in black smoke. He moved away several times because he didn’t expect Eve to be so strong.

“Surprise?” Eve smiled and said.

“With what?”

Eve smiled, and the dagger in her hand disappeared. In its place, a whip came out of the black smoke and took the dagger’s place. It will be noticed that it spun in the air, and Eve hit Devin where he was standing, but he moved quickly out of the way.

——

Reed was standing in front of the portal. Reed had a blade that went into the portal but only went halfway. He couldn’t touch or get closer to the portal because it was lit up with white light. He knew that blade belonged to Avery.

“Avery!”

On the other side, Avery heard Reed’s voice. Avery was surprised, so she went up to the portal and peered through the slowly shrinking hole.

“Sir Reed? Sir!” Avery said.

“Avery, how are you there. What’s happening?” Reed asked.

“Sir, I don’t know. I can’t leave through the portal because a demon might come out. Anton and Becky left to look for Sir Devin.”

“Devin?”

“Sir, Devin closed the portal,” said Avery.

“No, you’re wrong, Avery.”

“How could I be wrong. When Sir Devin came out of the portal, a strange energy appeared around him. The portal suddenly closed.”

“It’s not Devin, Avery. Believe me. Open the portal, I need to get out to help Devin.”

“Not Sir Devin? But...” Avery glanced at Marina. “Go to Sir Reed’s house first. Sir Devin might need help, and Anton and Becky will be there.”

Marina didn’t move immediately and stared at Avery. Avery smiled slightly.

“Sir Reed won’t let me go,” said Avery. Marina nodded, and suddenly she disappeared in front of Avery. Avery turned again as a portal. “Sir Reed, stay away from the portal first.”

Reed heard that and moved slightly away from the portal. A few moments later, he noticed the movement of the blade inside the portal. Avery’s loud screams could be heard from the other side of the portal. Reed frowned as he saw the crack from the blade.

“Shit.”

He turned to everyone with him in the portal. He held his father by the shoulder.

“Avertus redentra avidta.” Reed’s hand lit up slightly, and the black power entered his father’s body. “Be careful, father.”

“You take care. There is no problem here in the realm. Take care of the queen and my grandson.”

Reed just smirked and said nothing. Everyone started to leave the portal. Once the portal closed, no one else could open it except the former king Eldron, so it was inevitable that none of the other demons could leave the portal without the consent of the gatekeeper.

Reed grabbed the blade from the portal. He felt electricity flow from the blade to his hand. Small voltages of electricity felt like needles poking through his veins. It was a strange sensation for him, as if something was being absorbed from him. Reed’s nose can be seen bleeding as he pushes the katana blade out of the portal. As the portal opening widened, he let go of the katana blade and forced his hand out of the portal even as the blade sliced his hand towards his arm.

When Avery saw Reed’s hand, he immediately grabbed it.

“Pull me, Avery, the katana blade is about to cut...” Reed said.

“Cut off?” Avery was stunned for a moment. Once his katana was severed, he had no weapon that could possibly be used. His shaman status is negligible. However, he pulled Reed from the portal without letting go of the katana. Even if that was cut, he would not let go of the katana that was the only legacy of his grandmother.

Avery felt two different energies clashing in his hands. After a while, black smoke came out of Reed’s hand and flew towards the electric pole. It was like a rope coiled around there, and Reed used that strength to pull himself out of the portal. Avery removed his body faster, and he could enter the portal after a while. The blade of Avery’s katana finally broke, causing Reed’s body to be stuck in the portal hole that kept closing.

“Ahhh!” Reed let go of Avery’s hand and used them to hold the portal opening to loosen it. When half of Reed’s body got through, Avery grabbed the smoke that formed a rope and pulled it to pull Reed out of the portal. Avery’s hand was smoking as he held the black power that shamans like him could not handle. He endured the pain and still tried to pull it so that Reed could get out of the portal.

Reed and Avery fell to the floor, panting as Reed finally made it out of the portal. The wound on Reed’s arm and part of his waist can be noticed.

Reed glanced at Avery, who was still lying on the floor, and his hand was shaking. Reed immediately approached Avery.

“Your hand...”

“I’m fine, sir Reed.”

Reed carefully took hold of Avery’s forearm, lifted him up, and made him sit up, placing both hands on Avery’s palms. He could heal Avery because his strength returned, but the process would take a long time, so he wrapped Avery’s palms in black smoke.

“We have to go, Avery. Devin needs us.”

“I don’t understand, sir, if not Devin, who closed the portal?”

“The demon cousins. Dynhir and Eve.”
