Zara and Ray stepped out of the house, leaving Jason and Astryn standing at the door.

The husband-wife pair didn't look the least bit bothered by the hundreds of demons gathered in their garden.

All of them were wearing light battle armor, painted red and black.

Their horns were no longer hidden and rose high above their heads. Most of the horns were between two to three feet tall.

However, the tallest horns were five feet tall and belonged to a man dressed casually in trousers and a white shirt.

His horns were mostly black with a slight shade of red on the tips. A smile rested on his face as he looked at the duo.

"So you are the ones I have heard so many rumors about," The man spoke while cracking his knuckles and whistling. "You do have good taste in women, humans."

*Huh, I don't even know this demon's name. I don't think that he even belongs to a noble family. You might kill him accidentally while sneezing too hard.*

Hearing Astryn's words, Zara and Ray couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

This seemed to irk the demon as he puffed his chest a bit, making the 'I am a throwaway character'' wording appear at the top of his head, or at least that's what Jason thought.

"Did I, Astaroth, make a joke?"

"Your name in itself is a joke man," Ray replied while smiling as Astaroth's cheek twisted.

*Though it's very much fun to see this, I am sure that someone is behind him so don't waste too much time.* Astryn gently reminded as she was sure that a demon-like Astaroth was sent there by someone else.

Astryn wasn't too worried about Astaroth's life because even if he died, the demons on the demon continent knew that the Syrward family was no joke.

Furthermore, her husband was already gathered with the other demons so every end was already covered.

A sigh escaped her lips as she saw that despite her reminder, Ray couldn't help but make certain comments about Astaroth.

'System, can you store up aunt's mana in some way?' Jason on the other hand was focused on the mana inside him.

[ There is a way to do it but it will cost a hundred system points. Do you want to proceed ahead? ]

'Yes.'

< 100 system points have been used. >

< Mana had been stored inside the host's soul and will not be consumed any further. >

'Nice.'

Jason felt the ears on his head vanishing as all of Zara's mana was taken away by the system.

Since there was no need to be afraid of the demons, Jason decided to store up the mana for future use while shifting his attention toward the gathered figures.

[ If converted to numbers, Zara had used roughly twenty thousand mana on you out of which, I saved ten thousand. The rest was already used. ]

The system gave a detailed report to Jason who mentally nodded.

"We know that there is a demon in this place, a five-year-old demon with huge potential. He is ours and we will take him back," Astaroth declared as he could no longer handle Ray's comments.

All of the gathered demons immediately snapped to attention as they looked at the husband-wife pair.

Ray and Zara could tell that the talking time was now over and they would now have to fight.

But to them, this fight was over an hour ago.

"Already surrendering?," Astaroth smirked. "Looks like my overbearing presence is too much for you."

"Spoken like a true third-rate villain who would never be heard from again after this moment," Zara smirked back before she spat down at the ground.

Mysteriously, the wind moved upwards and the spit fell on Astaroth's forehead.

"You will see for yourself how strong I am." He said while wiping the spit off his forehead with a disgusted expression.

He then summoned a black spear and closed his eyes.

It looked as though he was preparing something big but Ray and Zara looked unimpressed.

"Oh come on, couldn't you come up with something better?" Ray asked while yawning before raising his hand in the demon's direction.

A sphere of wind shot out from his hand at rapid speed and hit Astaroth directly in the chest.

Whatever the demon had been planning on doing no longer mattered as his concentration was broken and he was sent flying.

The demons standing behind him raised their shields in an attempt to stop Astaroth but it was a wasted attempt.

With a single sphere of wind, Ray had managed to shake up the entire demon army and he wasn't even paying attention to them.

"You!" Astaroth shouted as he tightly clasped his spear and shot forward.

This time it was Zara who attacked but unlike Ray's small attack, she decided to do something big.

She raised her right hand high above her head as a fireball the size of a truck suddenly appeared in her hand.

Astaroth did a double-take when he saw the fireball. He slowly started stepping back before throwing his spear toward Zara.

A smile appeared on her lips as she suddenly lowered her hand and threw the ball in the manner of a baseball pitcher.

Jason watched the entire scene in awe as the ball of fire flew forward and burned through the spear in just a second.

"AHHH!" Astaroth released a scream while running as the fireball seemed to be chasing him.

The proud and arrogant demon from earlier had been reduced to a screaming little child which made Jason wonder whether his family members were Chinese protagonists.

The things that had happened seemed exactly like a Chinese trope but to witness it, in reality, was a new experience for him.

'I want to do it too..' Jason thought with wide-open eyes as the fireball chasing Astaroth suddenly vanished.

Zara and Ray then grinned at Astaroth while the other demons trembled in fear.

They had been told that they were just going to take a child to the demon continent but they could have never experienced such a thing in their life.

They wanted to run away but they had nowhere left to go.historical

Astaroth had also guaranteed that they would die and the man who had brought them there was missing.

"Ray, should we end this?" Zara suddenly asked while raising her right hand again as Ray nodded.

"Sure."

Astaroth and the demons were terrified of what they had heard as they closed their eyes.

Their end was near.
