B-rank dungeon, above the volcano, in the sky.

The demon could be seen pointing his finger toward Ms. Anna, while Anna had a perplexed expression on her face right now.

"What are you talking about? Clarify it!" (Anna)

A smirk appeared on Durik's demonic face:

'Although she has become stronger, she is still that short-tempered girl she once used to be, this is going to be easy..' (Durik)

"Well, you see, master likes you very much right, but the thing is I also love you from the bottom of my heart.." (Durik)

"What!?" (Anna)

"At that time I didn't have the courage to confess to you, I was too weak to fight master after all, but somehow that blockhead of a master actually found out about this.." (Durik)

"I don't know how he managed to find this out but, when he finally found out, he immediately dragged me to an arena and challenged me to a duel.." (Durik)

"He placed the bet that if I won he would stop pestering you, and if he won then I would have to leave the place on my own accord.." (Durik)

"I didn't win the match in the end, he was too strong and I was too weak at that time to face him, he just defeated me in a single attack.. I don't know why he left me alive but now I have become extremely strong I am sure I can defeat him now.." (Durik)

As Durik continued to talk his face became more and more emotional, as if he was really in great awe of himself:

"While I was wandering in the streets, I met with my savior, he is a noble soul, his existence is greatest among everyone and he is meant to achieve the realms which no one has ever achieved.." (Durik)

"After meeting his highness, I was born anew, he gave me the chance to embrace this great body I have now.. This body can regenerate any part of the body as long as I have enough mana, as long as I have mana left I won't die.." (Durik)

As Durik mentioned his demonic physique his expression became like that of a madman:

"I know, you want a great body like this right? You can also come and join the great existence of his highness and become one of his loyal subjects.." (Durik)

Durik stretched out his hand and pointed towards Anna:

"Become a Demon, Anna!" (Durik)

Forest area of the dungeon, Before Anna cast the meteor spell.

"Hmm, Brother Fade, look! What is happening there above the Volcano!?" (Another disposable Sidekick)

"Oh, isn't that Ms. Anna there, could it be she is here to look at the performance of the students personally! I must do better so that she gives us a better score!" (Fade)

"But why is there such a huge magic circle below her feet, if that magic circle is that big, could it be she is going to use a Master rank spell!? But then even we will get caught in it, after all, we are quite close to it, brother Fade let's leave this place!" (Disposable Sidekick)

"If we don't leave right now, it will be dangerous for us both!" (Disposable Sidekick)

"No! We must not go away otherwise how will we show her our prowess, we can't compromise with our grades." (Fade)

Seeing Fade's face filled with determination and heroism, the sidekick was charmed instantly and got ready to give even his life, in order to stay with Fade:

"Since you are going to stay, I can't leave you behind brother Fade, I would rather die myself than let you die!" (Disposable Sidekick)

"Good, you are my best brother!" (Fade)

Just when the two of them were talking, Anna cast the spell and after the spell was cast ear-piercing roars started to sound from the inside of the volcano as if a monster was roaring in rage, after a while a huge werewolf rushed out of the volcano swung its great sword and destroyed all the meteors in its way.

Meteor debris changed its trajectory and then after being struck by the werewolf the debris started to fall with great speed directly towards Fade, who was running towards the volcano the get closer..

Just as the huge stone debris was about to fall on Fade's head:

"Brother Fade, look out!" (Disposable Sidekick)

The disposable sidekick pushed Fade away, Fade was sent away flying from the force of the push and landed far away from the location he was standing before.

He hurriedly got up and ran towards where the huge stone debris had fallen, he immediately started to look for his brother and found that the whole of his lower body was crushed under the rock and only his face and a small part of the upper body were not under the rock.

"Brother, why did you save me! How can you do that!? Don't leave me behind!" (Fade)

"Brother Fade, cough! Cough! D-didn't I said earlier... That I would die be-before you.. Do-don't worry about me.." (Disposable Sidekick)

After he said that, the sidekick went silent for good, he left this cruel world behind and sacrificed his body for a child of luck, just because of a mere reason that he followed the child of luck, for a little too long.

(Two minutes of silence for the 'Disposable Sidekick'...)

"Brother! No!" (Fade)

(I always wanted to assume what would happen after a sidekick dies, the next few lines are just a possibility based on Fade's personality, if you have any other assumptions you can tell me them too, perhaps we can use your suggestions to make the life of sidekicks miserable in the future too..)

As Fade said that he looked at the guy who was now dead for a little while and he then confirmed whether this guy really was dead or not.

"Sigh~, that was a dangerous situation, I could have died back then, I should leave this place after all otherwise I might get caught up in debris too.." (Fade)

As Fade's face returned from the previous fake crying one, he smirked a little and said:

"Don't worry brother, I will take good care of your fiancée, I wouldn't let you give a chance to complain, after all I am your good brother right?" (Fade)

[Acceleration!]

As Fade cast an unranked spell 'acceleration' he left the place and made a distance from the volcano.

What Fade didn't know was that a certain individual with a fat body and wearing black clothes was standing not far away, but he was hidden using the 'Advanced rank spell: Presence Nullification'.

"You still have not learned your lesson, I see, it's time I give you back what you did to me.." (???)

A strange shadow could be seen flying and coiling around the person's body, the shadow itself has a mouth of its own, suddenly the mouth on the shadow said:

"Calm down boy, we have enough time to fully enjoy this, hehehe.." (???)

"Yeah.." (???)

The shadow looked at the person crushed under the debris:

"What a shame, that body is too damaged and is not useful anymore.." (???)

After saying that both of them disappeared in the same direction Fade had left.

"Should we go there too, Rio?" (Link)

"I don't think we need to go there, can't you see the size of the debris created by the shattering of those huge meteors?" (Rio)

"Well, yeah, we might actually get crushed under that huge debris, but if we both work together we can easily blast that much debris by ourselves you know?" (Link)

Although Link waited for a few seconds there was no answer to his question

Link looked at Rio who was standing beside him and found that Rio was looking in a completely different direction from the volcano, for the first time Link saw Rio frown a little bit.

"What happened? Why are you looking there so intently? Could it be you can sense that Lia is in that direction!? That's a scary power you have! By the way, could you teach me that too? I want to know where Riya is!" (Link)

Rio didn't answer Link again for a while, just as Link was about to get annoyed by this strange behavior of Rio:

"We don't need to detect anyone, it seems someone is rushing our way, from their aura it seems and that person is a peak A-ranker.. Get ready Link!" (Rio)
