The Great Demon System

Chapter 185: Darkness...

After some unexpected delays, Jayden who was in her wisp form had finally entered the school's forest in a hurry, flying through it as fast as possible to reach her destination.

As she was flying deeper and deeper into the seemingly endless sea of trees, she managed to spot a yellow dome-like barrier surrounding a specific area of land, she knew that it was no doubt Nags's barrier that she was informed about.

As she drew closer and closer to it, she managed to make out Moby in that form she saw him in back during the exam, flapping his wide, half-devil half-dragon wings, dodging the attacks of his opponent as he rushed towards him. However, unlike the last time, this time he looked like he was in control of the form and not berserk like he was when she pulled that sick prank on him, pretending that she was dead.

If anything, she thought he looked even hotter and cooler in that new form of his, making her non-existent wisp cheeks turn flushed red as she continued flying in his direction.

They were both moving and maneuvering so quickly that it became somewhat hard for her to keep up, even with her enhanced demon senses, they were just on 2 completely different levels. Still, she was sure that at the end of the blitz-like fast encounter it would be Moby who was undoubtedly on top.

Yet, after a yellow explosion, completely unlike what she had expected, it was Moby that seemed to be the one who had lost and greatly injured himself with many disks flying at him from behind.

When she saw what she saw, Her anger grew as she felt her now non-existent heart ache like it had suddenly broken and exploded into a million pieces. She wanted to do nothing more than to stop and fly towards him to help.

However, despite all the pain that seeing her lover in such a state brought her, she could not allow herself to do that, it would only show a lack of trust.

Moby had already ordered her to stay away from his fight, most likely because she would only serve to be a hindrance in the end and make things harder.

Of course, she fully understood that fact and didn't get mad at him because she also knew that she was still weak compared to all of her peers. She now had the urge, and wanted strength and power more than ever before in her life, she did not want to be useless and fall behind all of her friends.

All her life, she had never trained or even bothered to get any stronger, she thought that due to her family power, she was safe and no one would even dare try and harm her. And, even if they did try to hurt her, she could always just send her butler after them. She only thought about herself and her own well being and survival overall.

But now it was different, she had gained so much more in the past month… Good, real friends that cared about her more than just for her money and an actual lover that she cared about as a person and not just as her personal slave and sex toy.

Her parents had tried to force her to train but she would always reject because she was lazy and didn't think there would be any benefit in doing so. But now thanks to her previous carelessness and overconfidence, she was not able to do anything to help her love in her current situation where only her own powers mattered, not the power and influence of her family.

So, despite how much it hurt her, all she could do now was have faith in Moby and follow her orders of helping Alex and Abby.

Jayden shook her head, trying to stay focused on her task at hand as she swooped down into the forest and turned from her wisp form back into her normal body and decided to travel the rest of the distance on foot.

Staying in wisp form was a very risky endeavour. Wisps were so fragile that even rain was more than enough to kill them. So, that meant that anything unexpected like debris, or a stray attack would be more than enough to kill her in 1 shot and she was not willing to take the risk.

Although she was in a rush, she would much rather be late than sorry... be late and alive to help than just be dead.

She had already had a few close calls in the city, more than she had expected which was why she was so late. And, with all the fights going on in the forest and due to the clearer non-urban sky, she would be more easily spotted by the enemy and taken out faster than she could react, even if she tried to mask herself in her shadows since she was not fully comfortable using it in a non-human body which was more than enough reason to now travel on foot.

When she landed on the ground, she just sped towards Abby and Alex's location at her top speed. She had already used a good chunk of her demon energy on her way from her house to the school's forest and her mana reserves were running slightly low from trying to mask her presence in the air. So, since she doubted that anyone would be able to spot her in extreme darkness and under such a thick layer of trees, she decided against using a lot of her mana to cloak herself so she could have enough to fight and not just reach her destination only to be useless.

And, she decided against transforming into some sort of animal like a wolf since she was still not yet proficient at walking on all 4s, making her much slower, and time was something that she was very low on.

'I am 1 or so minutes away from your guys' location, I am coming to help, it shouldn't take long,' Jayden said, opening a mind-link between her, Alex and Abby.

'Why!? Shouldn't you be helping my lord! We can handle things here alone! My lord's safety is the top priority!' Abby responded with clear vigour, heavily panting and struggling.

'He ordered me not to help him and help you instead, and once we defeat this enemy, we can all go and help him together,' Jayden retorted.

'I see… If my lord wills it then it shall be done, his… will… is… absolute,' Abby replied, stopping after some words as her struggles became more and more apparent to Jayden.

'Okay! Listen! Before you come I need to inform you on what's happening! We are going against light puppets! Our enemies are not even human! They are not that physically strong but they adapt and grow extremely powerful which is why it's a real struggle to kill them. I don't think you can turn into them with your powers but If you can copy their armour, they might think you are one of them and sabotage them. Or, maybe you could sneak- ******* Wai ***** Shi***Wa*****Th***Fu**** Wat***Out!***Sh**** Goh****--------' Alex said, his voice suddenly becoming more and more choppy and full of static until his voice could no longer be heard.

'Hello! Abby? Alex!? Can you guys here me? What happened?' She yelled back only to receive no response.

It was almost like a bad call connection only more supernatural.

Jayden's eyes grew wide, she never even thought that what happened could be even possible since she thought their mind-link was nigh invincible and couldn't be tampered with by outside sources.

She knew that something was definitely wrong… Alex was clearly trying to warn her about something but he was suddenly cut off by some unknown means.

She took out her daggers from her inventory and prepared herself for anyone and anything that might come her way.

However, she did not stop her movement and advances towards the battlefield since what happened might have also meant that Alex and Abby were now in trouble or fatally wounded, giving her even more reason not to stop and try her best to reach the battle as soon as physically possible.

As she was sprinting through the forest, now on higher alert and with even greater urgency than before, she felt her vision go slightly darker… Despite her perfect night vision, some darkness was flooding her vision. It was something that she had not seen or experienced in months, something that she had completely forgotten even existed ever since she had turned into a demon.

Still not slowing down, she looked around here only to see no sign of anyone or anything. When she tried to rub her eyes to see if there was something in them, it did not seem to help at all.

Despite all her efforts, her vision continued to turn darker and darker, but even still, she could not allow herself to slow down and give up.

"Who the fuck is out there! Show your self pussy!" Jayden's screams echoed in the forest as she continued to look around with her now almost human-like vision.

However, she received no response and spotted absolutely no one… Her vision only grew darker… It felt similar to her shadow ability only slightly different… She had no idea what was going on but she was certain that it had to do with outside ability influence.

But, soon enough she would undoubtedly go blind and she knew no way of stopping it. Her only idea of how to stop this was to take out or injure the ability holder, but without knowing where that person is, it would be completely impossible.

'What the fuck is going on! Fuck my life! What kind of dirty trick is this!' She inwardly cursed.

With the last shreds of light about to escape from her vision, she let out her last-ditch effort, releasing all of her mana in all directions, blasts of shadow energy left out of her body until she is sucked completely dry.

Yet, she still felt like her attacks hit absolutely nothing as her vision was now all dark making her completely blind...

She stopped her movements and began to frantically attack in front of her with her daggers, only seeming to attack the air and nearby tree trunks.

"You dirty bitch! Come out and face me!" She yelled, her face completely red from anger and frustration.

"With pleasure..." A soft yet ominous female voice came from behind her.

And before she even got the chance to attack where the sound came or even respond, she felt a swift yet painful strike on her neck like it was on a pressure point, causing her to fall down on the ground and lose consciousness...
