FOR THE LOVE OF A DEMON

chapter 28: headaches are a bitch

"With our Graces..."

"... we shall avenge our comrade Mael!"

"Revenge after 3000 years? You Goddess race sure are a bitter bunch. Both of you look so calm... but I can feel your scorching rage getting hotter and hotter," Ahmya cocked her to the side and sent the demon a tight-lipped smile.

"Always so dramatic," Ahmya formed a spear in her hand and threw it straight at him. Estarossa landed with a crash and she quickly followed.

Estarossa wiped the blood from his lip as his wound healed. "Normally, those harbouring hatred who stand before my Commandment of Love would lose the ability to hurt anyone else but due to the Supreme Deity's protection and your connection to the source of my power, that doesn't work for the Four Archangels nor you."

"That's the strange part. How could either of those two so easily fall by your hand? It makes no sense," Ahmya spat out as the two angels landed behind her.

"It's even stranger to me that you can't figure out something so simple," Estarossa vanished but Ahmya wasn't so slow, she vanished too. She grabbed Estarossa before he could even reach Tarmiel.

"Not that that would've worked," she threw him into the sky.

"You two can have the first go at him I need to check on Elizabeth,"

The two didn't hesitate as they took off after the demon. Ahmya made her way to where she left the three only to run into a familiar face.

"Howzer?!"

"Oka-sama?"

"Thank dad," Ahmya sighed in relief as she embraced the knight.

"Ahmya!"

"Diane, great job protecting these idiots," Ahmya said before smacking the back of Howzer's head. "Where's Gil?"

"Ahmya," she turned to Elizabeth. "Ludociel is inhabiting the body Margaret's body."

Ahmya froze but everyone could feel the air around the girl change. Her eyes narrowed and she grabbed Elizabeth by her jacket. Two strands of her hair turned white.

"Who in hell let that happen?! More importantly, why would you agree to partner up with that bastard in the first place?!" She let go as Daniel approached them and whispered in her ear.

"We have a problem,"

Daniel moved her away from the two who had started their own conversation

"Ludociel-"

"Don't even-OW!" Daniel hit her upside the head.

"Taro says he can sense him, he's been trying to reach you,"

"So that means the others are headed for Meliodas," Ahmya brought her fist to her chin. "Should we head there or st-"

"One problem at a time...he absorbed Galand's commandment," Daniel nodded in the direction of where the seemingly one-sided fight was taking place.

Ahmya whipped her head to face Daniel who flinched in surprise. "What?"

Before he could say anything else Tarmiel and Sariel appeared. Ahmya stared in the distance something felt off and that was when she saw it. The knights were astounded but Ahmya wasn't convinced.

Ahmya headed to the front of the group as Estarossa appeared. His body almost slumped over, his legs (if you could even call it that) and his arms up to his elbows were completely black and he had a demon symbol on his back. Ahmya didn't like the deranged smile on his face as he laughed.

"Hey, you guys play with me some more," devil, even his voice made him cringe.

"Estarossa-" before she could finish her sentence Ahmya had to intercept him.
