71. The Rescue

"Do you know who is in the other cell? He is your teacher Edward. Say hello to him and when your little reunion takes color!" Paimon laughed sarcastically.

John quickly glanced at the other cell. His teacher looked old. Its hands are chained and cannot use a spell.

"He fell into my little trap. I used you. Think about it, until now he still does not stop looking for you. Fortunately, I am kind... See you again."

John rushed at Paimon angrily but a strong force hit him. It flew into the corner. It could not resist because of the chains attached to its body with heavy balls. Paimon laughed.

"Edward... What can you say when you meet your beloved student again? Are you happy?"

Edward glared at the demon.

"You bastard!"

"Tsk, thank you..." Paimon said sarcastically.

The witch next to him laughed. This is what caught him.

"By the way, what are you going to do if I tell you that John... Your favourite student, is also a demon like me? It's just that he's a little stubborn... I already tried him kill because he is useless, he didn't just die because he seemed to be immortal like me. So there, I just made him a dog here. He is fierce... He is just silent because he can no longer speak. That effect was when I slash his neck after he attacked me... Do you see the scar on my face? That animal made it."

The demon showed him his large scar on the right side of his face. Edward smiled. John may have been a demon but he never lost his mind. He was moved by its determination and courage because over the time, it did not give up.

"Because I failed with John, I suddenly thought that I would just make you a demon and be my disciple. It is true that you have grown old but you are still strong and I can bring back your youth and give you even more power. Just come with us... Lucifer is very generous."

Annoyed Edward looked at King Paimon.

"Tsk! That won't happen."

"You stubborn old man!"

"Right. And this old man, the one who kicks your rotten ass when I, get out of here!"

In a flash King Paimon came in front of him. He punched him in the face and then kicked him in the stomach. The old exorcist writhed in pain and vomited blood slightly. King Paimon pulled it out and presented it.

"You are arrogant old man. Let just see how long you will last in the tortures I will do to you. You will also give up in the end because you are weak, Edward! You are no longer young, as you used to be so don't brag to me!"

Paimon unleashed a blow to the side. It released Edward who fell to the floor and fell down... King Paimon came out of jail.

"Vinda, prepare our demon soldiers, exorcists will definitely rush here to save that old man. We have a lot of toys to collect so get ready."

"Yes, master!" the witch's language.

Edward took a few deep breaths as he seemed to have run out of air when the demon hurt him. It was very different when he last encountered it. If then he did not seem to care about its powerful attacks, now he feels it all because of old age. He laughed softly.

"It's really different when you're old..." he said softly.

He heard loud noises next to him and he saw John shaking his railing. He forced himself to stand up and walked towards it. He looked at the face of his student he had been looking for a long time. He reached for his face and removed some strands of his hair covering his face. The iris color of his eyes was a mixture of brown red and he saw its large scar on his neck wearing another dog-like collar. Anger enveloped him for the demon...

"What did they do to you, John?" his said sadly.

The young man closed his eyes tightly and shook his head. Tears welled up in his eyes. It handed him a small paper. It was still messy. He took the paper and opened it. The letter is made of its blood.

"You shouldn’t search for me." that is the content of the paper.

The old man smiled bitterly.

"That is not possible. You are my student and I am your second parent. I consider you my eldest child. It is the parent's duty to protect his child and I failed to do that. Please forgive me, John. This thing happened to you because I was weak."

John shook his head again. It used power. Edward was a little surprised when a few letters made of ink appeared in front of him.

"I was the weak one so it happened to me. I fell into the devil's trap and I did not listen to what you said. It should just happen to me."

Edward laughed softly. This is the John he knows. It has not even changed in spite of everything. Yes, and it changed shape because it matured. Add that he has become a demon but humanity remains in his personality.

"That's enough, John. It would be better if we just escape from here." Edward smiled.

Amaze John looked at his teacher. It was obviously shocked.

"Do not underestimate the ability of this old exorcist. Do you think that Edward Leigh will just be caught in a trap? I will not be the number one exorcist in my time if I am so weak..." he smiled.

Because of that John was encouraged and then smiled. It seems that the time came back to him when he was still with his teacher on missions...

Meanwhile... The witch Vinda looked at her boss in surprise.

"Why did you suddenly become interested in that exorcist? Haven't you beaten him since you got his student? There you go, and you made a trophy as a sign of your success."

King Paimon laughed softly.

"Because Belphegor ordered me to hunt down the two demons who betrayed hell. Grimm and Victor... According to the update he gave me, those two have joined the exorcists. How dare them three times a day! Edward is the only exorcist I know and most likely, I can use him to make other exorcists appear, including those two idiots!"

Vinda played with the ends of her hair.

"Wait, isn't Lucifer your boss? Why did you agree to be Belphegor's servant?"

King Paimon clenched his fists and looked intently at his companion.

"Ever since, I didn't like those failure creations... And you know what I do with the ones I don't like. I kill and destroy! Those two must ready for me. Especially that Belphegor's son Grimm, I will shed his blood in my fists..."

Paimon just thinks, he is already excited to be lucky to have Belphegor's rebellious son. When Belphegor decides to kill Grimm, he is the one assigned to be the executioner... That's all, Grimm was able to escape so he did not give him an execution and now he is excited.

"Get ready for me, Grimm."

Meanwhile... The school of the Exorcist Guild is a bit chaotic because Grimm and Victor are releasing the demon dog Knight. It is very familiar to the smell of its boss Edward so their search will be easier if they include it in their mission.

"What do you think you are doing?! Stop that! Many will risk that dog! He is only following your father!" against Ulrick.

The other council was also there. And severely suppressing their group.

"I told you to stop that!"

"SHUT UP!" Constantine and Clemen shouted at the same time.

Ulrick was silent when he saw the sharp gaze of the brothers. They will certainly not have mercy on him as soon as he opposes. He backed away and the other council members fell silent. Moments later the demon dog Knight appeared.

"How are you here, big guy?!" Grimm asked smiling.

"ARF!"

The dog wagged its tail and excitedly looked at Grimm who was wearing an exorcist uniform. He was slightly taken aback when he looked up at Victor next to him. It was just that it suddenly licked the latter.

"Eeewww!"

Victor backed away and shivered wiping his face. As usual he was wearing all-black attire. That's what he wears when he's in assassin mode.

"Looks like you like him too. Knight, he's Victor-my friend."

"Warf!"

The latter smiled awkwardly and backed away.

"H-Hi!" it's just language.

Grimm turned to the giant dog again.

"Sir Edward is missing. We need to find him. Can you help us, huh?"

"Arf! Arf!"

The dog nodded.

"In that case, use your sharp sense of smell so we can find him."

Grimm jumped up and immediately rode behind Knight. Victor followed, he also rode on the back of the dog.

"Let's go. Go ahead, Knight! We all depend on you." the language is Clemen.

"WARF!" replied the dog.

After that it jumped high and quickly ran out. It also ran that the others just followed... They all go to the front of the school.

"Cool!" language of students.

Father Clemen rode his Harley Davidson motorbike. He was followed by his brother Constantine who also used Harley Davidson. Orphen and Kief's car is black and blue. All of them, wearing exorcist clothes... Clemen first pulled his motor and the others followed. They already followed Knight running fast. It was noon at that time and they traveled for a few more hours. It was late afternoon when they arrived at a fire town but the dog Knight did not stop running. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person.

FGH!... TINK!... It rained a knife all around them but... FGGGH!... Victor also rained a lot of knives.

From which appeared seemingly black monkeys with sharp claws and holding a knife in their hands. Victor stood behind Knight and pulled out a weapon. He chose a gun... This is his special ability, he is able to release the weapon he wants that he wants to use during the fight. The demon monkeys continue to throw knives but Clemen avoids that. He looked up and saw Victor preparing. Moments later, heavy gunfire erupted along with the heavy rain of ammunition. It does not miss a single opponent.

"Whew, where did you find that one again?!" Constantine exclaimed.

Orphen smiled.

"Somewhere!" he replied.

A demon monkey rushed to his side but before it could finally get close to him it exploded. He looked ahead and saluted Victor in gratitude.

"Do you need help?" Grimm asked his companion.

"No longer. I'm just practicing here. Relax all of you first." Victor said coolly.

Increasingly, a lot of opponents chase them. Large Bajang-demon cats attacked next. They are more numerous than the demon monkeys and Victor can no longer shoot them all.

Kief put his car in auto-mode and then he stood there. After that, he pulled out a pentagram and two large iron fans appeared there. He held them in both his hands. He simply fanned the fan he was holding in his left hand and it created a very strong wind with knives made of air. It all rained on the enemy and every hit then, the enemies turn into ashes. Victor's eyes widened and he was a little taken aback by the proper aim of some of his opponents.

"Cool!" he exclaimed.

Grimm smiled.

"You're right. Kuya Kief is cool." he said.

Victor and Kief continue to do the finishing of enemies. A few moments later they reached the opening of the enemy's stronghold. It is a castle made of soil. It is surrounded by black dead trees. Moments later the trees blocked their path. Clemen made a big pentagram. He struck a lightning bolt against the trees that blocked them. They were burned because of his lightning. As a result, other trees have moved away from them. They all just continued until...

"URGH!..."

An underground creature suddenly punched Victor hard. It fell and rolled on the ground. Grimm stopped the dog Knight... It makes sense to bring the dog back but.

"I’m okay! I'll take care of it, you all go! I'll just follow!"said Victor.

"All right, I'll wait for you!" Grimm said.

"Hoy, don't die! I'll kill you when you die!" Orphen said.

Victor just smiled. He quickly stood up and shook himself. A thick dust surrounded him. But little by little it is calming down. His companions continued to enter the bastion.

"Huh, we met again... Arrogant Victor! You're dead to me now! King Paimon ordered me to finish you. He said he will take care of your friend Grimm, he will continue your friend's failed execution!"

Victor looked annoyed at the speaker. He now faces a man with a shark's head but his body is made of hard rock. Saaaz...

"I thought who it is. It's just you. The useless creation of King Paimon from shark animals. Tsk, tsk, boring!" Victor said annoyed.

Saaaz clenched his fists.

"You are still arrogant! Get ready for me because I will make that pretty face of yours ugly! And I’ll eat you!"

Instead of being scared, Victor laughed softly.

"Seriously, it's scary! I'm terrified! Wa ha ha ha!"

Saaaz suddenly kicked hard. BAAAGS! Victor crossed his arms to make a shield. Yet, he still flew away and rolled away. Its body is made of hard rock so its attacks are really painful. If he had not resisted, his face would have been crushed. It looks like this ugly demon is serious about destroying his handsome face. Saaaz rushed at him again but this time he fired a gun. He backed away from what he had done and carefully looked at his body made of stone.

"Huh, those attacks won't work for me!" smiling its language.

Meanwhile... Edward slowly made a pentagram in front of him. It shone brightly and tried to break the chains wrapped around his hands. The black force in the chains resists but it gradually crack until it fall to the floor.

"Oh my, it's a bit different when you're older John. When I was young, it took me a minute to unravel the dark spells." Edward said.

From his hand he made a key. He immediately went to John's cell. He put the key in there and effortlessly opened the cell.

"Get ready. Because once you get free, we will look for Paimon and kick his ass!" Edward said with a smile.

John smiled. He liked his teacher's idea. It was itchy to retaliate against the demon who locked him up and experimented with him for a long time...
