'THIS...[...]...IS RAGE!!!' (Michael)

I then immediately send my mana aura in a quite dense form covering only 200 square feet, what's important is that they are now in my kill zone. Next i form a expanded ring of mana around one of the two expendable looking guys, then swiftly compress it without supplying additional mana. Do you know what happen when you put a ring around somebody's neck then quickly shrink the ring?

Pop!* Head detaching itself from the man's body.* Squirt* Squirt* Squirt*!

“WE'RE UNDER MAGIC ATTACK !!” (Demon lord wannabe)

“Come close to me !!!!” (Dereina)

They all congregate around the mage looking woman.

'Hoo! Finaly there's the true test ! Mage battle is it ?!' (Michael)

“Where are they Dereina?” (Demon lord wannabe)

“I think it's only one ! But... but it doesn't make any sense...” (Dereina)

“What do you mean?” (Demon lord wannabe)

“I can feel someone's mana all around us, a ENORMOUS amount of it yet i can't find it's source... It's as it there's was no one.” (Dereina)

“How is that even possible.. Are you sure you just aren't feeling well?” (Demon lord wannabe)

“Fuck off! My mana sensing skills never did me wrong !” (Dereina)

'As they seem to be bickering may as well bring their attention back to me.' (Michael)

I then launch 3 mana spears from 3 different directions, The woman quickly sensing it lift her arms sending mana all around her pushing my aura away from them creating a dome around them with me incapable to get closer. As the mana spears reach the dome they simple start warping then lose their shapes.

'Humm.. Magic that disturb mana flow... As i thought fighting mages is definitively more challenging! Huhuhuhu how amusing! How interesting! Damn i haven't had fun like that in like forever ! Maybe i should let them live? And force them to fight me everyday !!!' (Michael)

'Let's see what else she can do' (Michael)

I then condense mana around every loose objects i can find on the ground, rocks, branches etc. Then trow them at high speed in their direction. Dereina then quickly create a basic mana shield. (Condensed mana in the shame of a sphere.)

'Time to experiment. What do we think, can her mana disturbing magic affect her mana as well? Yes most likely... Then this shield made of mana... She couldn't use both power at the same time right? Huhuhuu So combining trowing rocks and mana spear would definitively be her limit isn't ?' (Michael)

I then make 1 spear 'much more condensed' and launch it at the same time as many rocks reaching an higher velocity than before. Visibly shaken, Dereina quickly activate her mana disturbing magic.

“Protect yourselves !” (Dereina)

Pan!* Ping* pagang!* Dilidigangdouda!* pong!* (Rocks hitting armor and different part of their body.)

One of the rock hit the 2nd expendable guy right on the head making faint on the spot. Dereina mana disturbing abilities are off service while she regain her senses. I then make another ring but this time as a headband squeeze it tight around the 2nd expendable guy's head, then use 'mana movement' to make the ring rotate clockwise.

If you want to know what it sound like to twist a head around 3 times before it rip off of the body then you can recreate it at home. Take a few branch of celery then squeeze and turn. Same sound.

Squrweeekkkcracshoom!*

The demon lord wannabe suddenly start panicking.

“What on earth are we facing? There's nothing i can attack we don't even know where the guy is ! We're all going to die !!!!” (Demon lord wannabe)

Maybe feeling pity for them, or simply to put them into more despair, i gather my mana in front of them and adopt my humanoid form. I leave an aura of 200 feet then put my eyes where they should be. They then look at me with their eyes as round as gold coins.

'Maybe i should try talking to them? That could be fun right?!' (Michael) But before i could speak Dereina broke the silence.

“B..Bbbbb....Bla..BLack mana ??!!!!!!! God of death Michael the Arch-devil ?” (Dereina) She then said with her face as white as a corpse and her jaw hanging low.

“N!...No no wayyy!!!! He truly exist ???? We're doomed... sobsob*” (Pitiful demon lord)

Immediately Dereina trow herself to the ground her forehead touching the ground and say.

“Great God Michael we implore your forgiveness for if we did anything to offend you! We would not dear go against your will, ho great Michael!” (Dereina)

“Pleaseee grant us forgiveness !!! Please great God of death !!! sobsobsobsob*” (Pitiful demon lord)

'...'

'Da fuq ? Ok now i need to speak with them to know what this is all about and how do they know my name !! And God ?? What the hell?' (Michael)

When human speak they create waves in the air and the different modulations of the air create the various sounds.. So theoretically i should be able to speak to them by creating air waves...

“Prouuuttt* Pruuppp! Proutproot* Various fart noises!*” (Michael)

'Dammit! I should have practiced that ! Ho well let's go with telepathy, As long as she don't perturb mana this will work.' (Michael)

I then make contact with both their mana then speak. (For telepathy you must 'touch' the receiving parties mana with yours.) {---}

{How do you know of my name, humans?} (Michael)

I can then see them shaking even more at the sound of my voice. To be honest this feel great. There's no better weapon than fear.

“Your worship may have been outlawed but most everybody know of your name.” (Dereina)

{Hooo So i have followers?} (Michael)

“[...] Mostly exterminated or enslaved as heretics, but some still do yes.” (Dereina)

{What you just said make's me unhappy...} (Michael)

“Apology's great Michael but it is the 'Mana Sun Church' doing!” (Dereina)

{Alright a church worshiping the mana star... Nothing new there... Where are my followers?} (Michael)

“.. Mostly scattered all over hiding their worship from everybody's eyes... But... From your question, those you are looking for are mostly elves...” (Dereina) She seemed to regret mentioning that as her face became blue and kept glancing at the wagon.

“We're SORRY!!! We just wanted to make a bit of money to feed our families and we saw them, we barely never see elves anymore since they are almost extinct ! We couldn't help ourselves WE APPOLOGIES !!” (Demon looking looser)

“W...W..What Charon just said is true we truly apologies for capturing one of your subjects. We will release her immediately and give you anything you want!! We will do anything !” (Dereina)

{Anything?} (Michael)

Nod* nod* nod* Both nodded energetically. So i cut telepathy with Dereina and speak only to Charon.

{Charon! If you cut her head off i will let you live.} (Michael)

Not even hesitating one seconds he get up and swing his sword at Dereina's neck sending her head flying.

{Very good. I am proud of you Charon!} (Michael)

He then looked at me with a smile to which i responded by ripping his head off.

'My next questions, i can get them answered by this little girl in the wagon. Sorry you had expired your usefulness to me.' (Michael)

I then turn my attention toward the wagon, get on board and approach the chest. Expanding mana in the lock, it easily gives out unlocking the chest. I open it and in there i see her properly for the first time.

'Sh...She's... Dirty... And bloody.... I'm glad i can't smell...' (Michael)
