Anomalies are caused by the two worlds merging, specifically, This World (Earth) and Gehenna (Demon World) 

They warp the space around a specific location

They can appear either in the form of a portal or, they can swallow and invade an entire area present

And right now, The train that I was on, had just passed inside one

---

I looked at Erlin's empty eye sockets, and immediately, I socked his jaw, sending his head flying

"Bastard, He left me already"

I stood up and stretched my back

The train was still moving but, upon closer inspection, the passengers that were here before were now all gone

"Temperature Control"

Wisps of fire manifested in my hand and with my command, the entire cabin was covered in hot flames 

*Step*

I took a step towards the front and opened the door connecting the cabins

As the door slid open, The putrid smell of blood came in contact with my nostrils, but the blood came from none other than the demons 

"Ho! Jean-Paul you're finally awake, I saw you sleeping and thought that I shouldn't disturb you"

It was Erlin, should I say...

"Haah~, Why even take form with that old man's ugly mug"

"H-Ho? Jean, What do you mean!?"

"You can't even compare to a quarter of his strength, What you're doing is pretty useless"

"..."

"Hm?"

"Keekek, How dare a lowly Human like you talk down on me]

Erlin's face soon contorted, transforming into a demon with red horns and fangs 

Demons are usually ranked from Grade 9 to Grade 1, Grade 9 being the weakest and Grade 1 as the most similar to Demon Lords

The guy in front of me though only seemed to be around Grade 7

[Human, get ready for I will be making your death as painful as possible]

A claw came out of his knuckles and he dashed toward me

Calling a tiny bit of my mana, Flames manifested in my palms 

'Fire Starter'

The Passenger Cabin glowed as the temperature increased drastically, causing the metal around us to start melting

"Not even Demons are immune to this type of Fire"

Pointing my Palm toward the speeding insect, a blast of heat sent him flying away into the cabin in front

[KUAHRG!]

Even though a part of the train was engulfed in flames, I didn't hear any screams or noises, as well as the train didn't even stop moving

"Strange" 

I tried to grab another cigarette but what got caught in my hand was a folded piece of paper, opening it up - 

{USE ONLY ONE OF YOUR TWO ELEMENTS PLEASE HOHO! -Erlin}

"H-Huh?"

Flipping the small strip, I could see that another message was written on the back
