" Hey Gray while don't you asked them since you guys are very close" asked Josh.

" If I were to asked you to show me your technique Manuel, will you agree to let me see only the first line" replied Gray with a question of his own.

" Do even think about asking me about such" said josh on anger.

" So also don't bother asking them about it also" said Gray with a scoff.

" Everyone has what they want to keep as secret from others just like you josh" added Roland.

" With the way they easily brought it out without hesitating shows that they don't want to keep it a secret from us" replied josh to both Gray and Roland.

" I believe you know how dire the situation we are is, so its normal if they brought it out casually" said Gray as a reminder to josh what they are up against.

Being reminded of the situation at hand, josh decided to keep his mouth shut and look at Ray, who is trying to seal the portal.

" Do you think he will be able to close the portal" asked Josh as he continues to watch.

" Who knows but if he can't, then we'll have to prepare ourselves to fight the demon" replied Roland.

Meanwhile, standing in from of the rune was Ray who was soaked in sweat with his hand stretch at towards the rune. 

* Ding*

[sealing in progress: 30/100%]

" Man it's going to take forever to complete the sealing at this rate" complain Ray.

" How is it going" asked Ellis when he heard Ray complaining.

" It's still far from sealing" replied Ray.

" If you can't see it, lets just leave before the demon teleport to our realm" suggested Ellis.

" I don't think that will be necessary, didn't you say the portal is not powerful enough to bring a powerful demon to this realm" replied Ray as he continues to feed the portal with his energy.

" There is a possibility that a demon that is a realm higher than ours will be coming out" said Ellis with a serious look on his face.

" That does not change anything, with the four of us working together, I find it hard to believe that we won't be able to take a mere demon down" replied Ray.

" Are you a nut, do you think you can fight a demon that is a stage lower than you" asked Ellis.

" Look let me tell you something you don't know about demon, if fighting a gnurx is stressful than fighting a demon that is in the same realm as you is nearly impossible" said Ellis after calming down.

" So are you saying it will be impossible for us to kill a demon with our strength put together," asked Ray.

" Is not that is impossible, but it depends on the demon that comes out of the portal, if it is in the foundation realm we can give it a try, but anything above is totally suicided" replied Ellis.

" I would like to put that to a test you know" said Ray with a chuckle.

" Can you be serious for once replied Ellis with a frown.

" So what is your relationship with Amanda" asked Ray while turning to look at Ellis.

" She was my lover, and we were actually thinking of getting married" replied Ellis.

" What happened between you two because the way I see things, you refused to go into their clan territory and at first I thought you don't want you identify to be discovered by the clan but now it has seen different" asked Ray.

" I refuse to go in because I don't want to be discovered since I don't know who want me dead" replied Ellis.

" So what happened between you two" asked Ray with a smile.

" Can you just focus on sealing the portal" said Ellis in annoyance.

" I am really focus on sealing the portal but just need a little chat to killing time" replied Ray with a laugh.

" Kill time my ass, I plan to tell you anyway" said Ellis with a sigh before continuing.

" You see that young clan master name Nicholas, a year ago her clan agreed to share a land with the Cayson clan and end the fighting between the two clan on the condition that the clan master give her daughter hand in marriage to the third young master of the Cayson clan".

" That explain why she was with Nicholas but come to think of it, you are also from a well known clan so why didn't you fight for your love" asked Ray in confusion.

" You saw how I was treated in my clan so telling me to fight for my love is like making a fool of myself" replied Ellis.

" I am sure she still loves you and was just being force by the clan to go see Nicholas" said Ray.

" Well that's all in the past now, and I am happy with the life I am living now" replied Ellis.

" So you are saying if anything were to happen to her, you won't do anything" asked Ray as he threw him a wink.

" I don't know and will have to leave that until that time comes" replied Ellis.

" If I were you, I would have run away with her" said Ray seriously.

" And where will you run to that they won't be able to find you" said Ellis with a chuckle.

" You are right, there is no way I would be able to hid from a well known clan" replied Ray.

" I still can't believe what she saw in you that makes her fall for you" said Ray.

" Maybe she fell for the charm" replied Ellis with a smile.

" I have never a pig with a charm before" said Ray with a laugh.

" At least this pig has a lover unlike you who will grow old and die a single man" replied Ellis with a burst of laugh.

Ray stop laughing and stare at Ellis coldly.

" I can see that you are tired of living" said Ray coldly.
