I'm sorry for the wait but here you go!

-

My sister is more inclined to pick a fight, especially if they do it first, making it difficult handling her as she could probably thrash a building without even using her full strength. I used a magic spell that enhances my defenses before doing a long-range support ability that buffs my sister's already insane power to another level.

I am a diverse mage that is spread out into three different categories when it comes to my magic. The support role comes into play when I use spells like the map from earlier and the invisibility barrier, I can also boost my allies attack and defensive measure.

The defense category will turn me into an indestructible force that is capable of flicking off attacks from physical and magical attacks like they are flies. If I have to, I can activate the Astral Defense which is my final line, it one of the few things that I'm confident my master isn't capable of breaking easily.

The attack category will turn me into a relentless killing machine that if you don't any good defensive measures things won't be looking so well for you. Every attack will put you on edge as it's stronger than any magical ability under the second to last tier of spells discovered. I stare at the battle that rages in front of me as I take in this form, speed, power, weakness, strategy, anything is observed by my purple eyes.

"You are quite the observant one, are you not?" the world instantly slows down to a halt as a voice comes right next to me as I could feel it right next to me. I put up the bubble shield and prepared to fight against the enemy while I put some spells on myself in a millisecond as I turned my head around.

I feel my shield drop in a second and my hand is grabbed by a force that is stronger than my physical form. "Hey, calm down for a bit and we can keep this situation at a more surface level state." w-what did he do? My magic was suddenly brought down just like that? I contemplate on what just happens as my surprise must have shown on my face since the person responds.

"Oh you must be wondering how I was about to break your barrier so easily? Breaking is the incorrect term for what I just did, using the physics of magic, I rewind all of your magic back into your body, you will still have the mana as the spell was just converted back to its original form." h-how I don't remember no such spelling doing something to that magnitude in my whole entire life.

It almost felt like he read my thoughts as he answered my question "It's not a spell, actually, what I did is convert the spell back to its former state that means doing the reverse of a spell.” I close my mouth as I am out smarted by someone who isn’t my master, it has been quite a long time, his knowledge extends further than mine.

“So, who are you?" I said with my eyes finally paying attention to the person’s looks instead of the words coming out of his mouth. The person was dress in all cloaked garments that looked much similar to the guys fighting against my sister but he has a different vibe, something akin to master but at the same time entirely separate.

It's like he is a level down from reaching master's level but there is a large gap between them. One level below master is already scary enough so I wouldn't say he is weak or anything. I just need to find the correct strategy to deploy against him while he is still at this level and crush him.

I made it even harder for other people to understand what I am thinking by masking my face with a expressionless face and changed my voice to a monotone one. "Isn't it quite rude to ask someone of their name but not introduce themselves?" I closed my mouth and kept it shut since we both know that each one of us is on a mission but I already know he works for the Tarnsarn Empire so what's the point of keeping it a secret?

"Indeed, why should I keep it a secret even though you figured me out hmmmm." as if reading my thoughts like a book he answers my question and begins to contemplate it inside his mind of his. "Then, why don't you tell me who you are and we can be on equal footing, if you do that I will happily tell you my name and besides, I have the upper hand if you don't want to play nice."

Humph! I figured as much, he is using his strength to push me around like a rag doll. Too bad for you but have something interesting under my sleeve that I had just in case I meet an opponent stronger than me. I will not blow my cover, master will be disappointed in me, if one of his trusted advisor has been discovered on an investigation mission. Teleporting won't work because of the interference I would gather from this person right next to me and escaping is useless at this point, so my only option is this.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but..." I activated the mechanism stuck on the back of neck which isn't a magic powered tool but something master created himself. A formation of clouds comes from the sky and shoots a purple lighting to the ground which blinds everyone in the area and makes the man let go of me, it creates a massive distraction but that isn't what I'm looking for.

"Why have you called for me Rina?" a voice similar to a young boy comes out of the thunder and seemly walked out of it. The boy or should I call him my master walks out of it and puts both of his childish hands on each other as his black hair that reach the lower part of his neck.

His eyes are just like mine, amethyst colored, he has horns that curve up instead of going back, while, his body size is that of a child. Master wears a comfortable looking black and white suit, while, he wears a mask that covers his whole entire face, it has the simple two dot design that me and my sister have. Such is the way of our mask since master always liked the simpler version instead of the long and decorated kind which holds no value and only makes it look pretty.

Since we aren't very well-known amongst the human factions, I thought it would be ideal to call upon master as it would even the playing fields and master is probably happy getting out of the estate and getting a good work out session. Nothing much should be known about us instead of the fact that we are one of the more unknown demon factions that had gained increasing amount of influence in the demon world.

In other words, we are noobies that had a sudden gain in reputation by killing lots and making others lick our boot. Even if my masters is one of the Lords of the End, it doesn't mean we did anything of significance in the human territory as of lately to catch their enthrall. So, we could spare a few skirmishes every now and then with the humans until we get our plans rolling. Also, if we kill the witnesses there won't be anyone spreading anything about us at all.

I get down on my knees and put one of my hands on my chest while the other one is on my chest. "Stand up Rina, if you always do this when I arrive, you might get attacked by a random enemy or a stray spell might hit you." Master rubs his temple as his eyes go on to me with a sigh just coming out of him.

"Formalities are more important than being attacked by an underling that is not able to hurt me and if the spell isn't capable of breaking through my barrier I think it would be fine." I made my one rare smile behind my mask as my head face the ground, he sighs once more. "I also met my limit when it comes to opponents, so, I wanted get some help as blowing my cover isn't the best of situation or me being dead, and since I know how much you love doing ALL the work back at home when I'm on a mission."

I made a smile as Master seemed to have looked passed my masked as he made a big sigh come out of his mask. "Whatever, let's just get this over with so we could get back to our assignments." He said as something thin spreads out in the air and quick turn this whole entire area into his battlefield.

"And besides the point, I didn't think that beacon would be necessary since I had full confidence you are one of the best but I guess we would need to help you get up to scratch with the new players on the field." I felt my heart tugged on as I heard he had full confidence that I would be able to things independently.

"Sorry master." He looks at me and sighs once more before looking around for a bit as his eyes refocus on me. "Where's Tina?" Master is much more worried as his voice sounds a little more strained when talking about her. "Well...she is pretty busy right now..."

A boom of wind burst through the air which is coming straight for us! I take cover as master gets ready to defend against my sister's onslaught. "Hey! Master! Can we fight! Please! Please! Please!" I can feel the world spin as the tree branch I am standing on bounces up and down as if it was ready to break.

My sister is holding her prize she got from fighting the opponent earlier, as shown by the two guys struggling to get freed from both of my sister's arms. My sister let's go of the two who are tied up by vines that are incredibly tough as their mouths are no exception.

My sister stuff master's small body into her breast as she twirls him in a circle as Master's face is looking a bit dizzy from being thrown around like a doll. "Stop hugging me Tina! I am not a toy for you to throw around!" my sister starts giggling as she puts him down and puts her hand behind her back.

"So, sister, why did you suddenly call master?" my sister ask me as she focus her attention on our little master. Looks can be deceiving, especially when you are talking about our Master. "I had faced a problem with my opponent, he seems to counter my way of fighting and would be extensively difficult for me to win the fight without more information." my sister looks at me half confused by what I said and looks towards my master for explanation.

"In other words, she faced an opponent that seems to have the upper hand when it comes to fighting her." as if gaining a sense of understanding she hits her fist on her palm which made a boom sound as it echos through the forest. "So, who was this opponent you were having trouble with anyway?" Master said as he looked around himself as he searched for the person that I had trouble with.

"I thought he was right there..." as we looked around no one came into sight and we tilted our heads in unison to find that everywhere we look no one is there. "Did he run away while we were in the reunion?" I asked as Master lets out a sigh as a massive vein pops on his head as he looks at both of us. "YOU GUYS LET HIM ESCAPE!"

Master had become mad, he looked at our eyes through his mask as the whole entire area felt like it was burning up. "Hmmm, sister do you want to teleport us out?" she looked at me and made a smile "Yea, let's run away!" grabbed my hand as I had the spell in preparation.

I instantly casted the spell as my vision changed from a forestry biome to a more field like place with grass spreading out all around us. I knew that Master will be capable of catching up to us so I decided to make a final stand, my sister looked at me and I looked at her back as we both made a smile and said: "We're dead."

We both said at the same time as Master instantly appears in front of us with a huge grin on his face. Even with the mask on I can tell very well that me and my sister aren't going to be treated so nicely, maybe it wasn't a good idea to call him. "Tina didn't you say you wanted to fight and oh I brought your prey with me as well."

He said as he snapped his hand and two worm like things appeared covered by Master's string, they are the materials that he use to make whole assortment of objects. It's strange that he is able to make so many things with just strings, I always found it weird but I didn't question it.

"You guys were always troublesome, even as kids, I had so much trouble taking care of both of you." He sighs with his hands moving ever so slowly "And that is why both of you need some punishments." Master made a smile as webs surround us like some sort of spider web with no way out.

Me and my sister hugged each other in fright as the threads got ever so closer to the both of us. "Someone! Please save us!" Master looked at the both of us with a smile on his face as laughter soon fills the air. "MASTER! I think I can find him!" I said with confidence in my words "Oh! Really? Well, then, why don't we start, I want to keep ourselves as secretive as possible to the humans but if we expose ourselves a little bit it will be fine."

He said with his feet tapping in a repetitive pattern that continued until I was ready to answer his question. "From what I had gathered from the map that is in my brain, I had him marked, I found out he is still inside the forest and moving at an alarming rate to the borders of the Kingdom of Lativna."

I continued my sentence as words fluttered out of my mouth to save myself from Master's wrath. "That's why I teleported here to intercept him from going into their borders." Master tapped his finger a couple of times on his hip until he started laughing hysterically.

"Oh Rina, if I was here to capture you, I would have done it when we were on the tree branch, I only teleported here since I put one of my own tracking device on him while he passed through one of my strings." I wiped the sweat on my forehead before getting ready to fight the enemy in which I don't even know much about. "Now, that we got that over, what kind of information do you have on this individual?"

I calmed down and gotten my sister off me before I continued my report "Informational wise, we should be in the clear and the individual seems to have some sort of anti magic powers that allow him to interfere with my spells, his strength if anything is strangely strong. I feel like that wasn't all the tricks he have under his sleeve and I expect him to be somewhere around one of the heroes in this world. I am expecting him to be Tarnsarn agent that was sent out to do the same mission as us."

Master tapped his shoe on the ground for a couple of minutes before finally deciding to start talking. "We will fight him in an upfront battle and kill him before he gets to the border, I want to make sure his allies don't get any information he has obtained about us or this forest. And these two will be visiting Eliza for the time being, I made sure she will be presented with something manageable."

Master said before snapping his fingers and disappearing from our eyes view but I knew he was around here hiding. "This is going to be a loooooong day sis." I looked at her sighed "This will be one of the rare times I'm going to agree with you."
