Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 40

Sabrina (in Keith's mind when Anna points her sword forward): Move now!

Keith immediately teleported right before a huge tornado appeared underneath the snow leopard. After Keith appeared a few distances away from the tornado a light was falling from the sky so when he looked Keith noticed it was a huge fireball.

Keith (in his mind while watching the fireball fall): Is this Anna's true power? I never sense her with this much power. However this bad feeling I sense it before.

Sabrina (in Keith's mind): You idiot that attack is going to kill you.

Keith: What about Anna?!

Sabrina: Don't worry she'll be fine.

Keith started running and when he jumped over a rock to take cover Anna's fireball landed creating a huge explosion and leaving a huge dent on the ground.

Anna (eyes became normal after she fell to her knees when her sword disappeared): What did I just do? (in her mind after touching her face covering one of her eyes) In the past when...

Keith (running to Anna after she touches her left arm): Where does it hurt?

Anna (look at Keith): It's nothing big. (Keith going on one knee) I just can't move my arm. (while Keith pulls her left sleeve up after moving the cloak) Hey, that hurts.

Keith (looks at Anna's shoulder): I don't see anything odd.

Sabrina (in their mind): That's because the ice is in your system. Your fire aura may have stopped the progress to your elbow but it hasn't been removed.

Keith (turns her head after seeing a dagger appear on Anna's hand): Anna what are you thinking?

Anna closed her eyes before lightly covering the blade with her fire magic to quickly stab her left shoulder slowly removing the ice and allowing herself to move her shoulder a bit.

Anna (eyes open while using her psychic to remove her dagger): It's gone now.

Keith (while flicking Anna's head once she starts using her healing magic): Stop doing things on your own.

Anna: Ow. (look at Keith) I'm sorry but are you okay?

Keith (sitting down): I'm alright.

Sabrina (in their mind): Actually he almost got hurt because of you. What was going through your head?

Anna: After getting bitten my mind shut off like in the past.

Keith: The past?

Anna: Before I only remember up to the day I was saved being taken into the military. (pull down her sleeves) However, pieces before that came back to me but on the day I became a half-demon I remember everything.

Keith: You don't have to tell me.

Anna (standing): I can at least tell you that my blank mind allowed me to survive with my wind magic. (start walking after turning around) However, it scares me.

Keith (grabs Anna's wrist): It's alright to be afraid. From what you told us it sounds like your past experience and what you did today were the cause of your survival instincts.

Anna (look at Keith): Survival instincts?

Sabrina (while Keith let go): Since cat demons are in the beast type category. Our survival to stay alive is stronger and activates on its own.

Anna: But in the past, I was still human.

Keith: We know. At that moment your spirit wanted you to live. Human and demon survival instincts are different.

Anna: I see.

Keith (after Anna sneezed): Bless you.

Sabrina: Can we hurry up so Anna can go back to warm herself up? The cold at this temperature isn't good for her.

Anna: Sabrina I'm not that weak as before. I can survive longer here. (in her mind looking at Keith) Great I just said my big secret out loud.

Keith (after sighing): When we get back to the hotel you have some explaining to do.

Anna (when Keith starts walking): Aren't you mad at me?

Keith (while Anna follows behind): It's okay to keep some secrets but if it's something about your condition then I would like to know.

Anna: Alright.

Keith: However I will be mad if you don't keep yourself warned if you get too cold. I can't feel the cold much so I wouldn't know.

Anna: Okay.

Sabrina (in Keith's mind): You're way too nice.

Keith (in his mind): Anna can tell that I am mad but yelling at her won't solve anything.

(inside the cave)

Anna (while walking): By the way Sabrina when did you get back?

Sabrina (in their mind): When I suddenly sense your magic increases. As your guardian I must watch over you.

Anna: Isn't that weird? Having a spirit vampire cat demon be my guardian?

Sabrina: At least I can stop you by taking over your body.

Anna: Please don't.

Keith: Then you shouldn't do something that will make Sabrina possess your body.

Anna: I can't believe you are on her side.

Keith: Well it will come in handy when I can't stop you.

Anna (in her mind): Like I would know when I am about to lose control. (see a group of phantoms ahead) Aren't those?

Yurei (turns around when Keith and Anna see him): Took your time.

Anna (and Keith stop near Yurei): Why are you here Yurei?

Yurei: Lady Sabrina asks me to watch over the hole.

Sabrina (in their mind): Let's take a closer look.

(inside hole)

Keith (in his mind looking at the meteor after landing): The meteor may look big but I thought the fall was a bit more further.

Sabrina (in Keith's mind): Make sure to be ready to catch.

Keith: Catch who?
