Walking through the town with my face changed a little, I paid a bit of coins as I entered the town. They would have tried prying into my information, but showing the Light Magic allowed me to enter the city with minimum questions.

Moving through the city, I reached the temple within an hour, before I wondered how I should get past the priest. Should I use [One Way Out]?

"Come with me," though a familiar voice appeared from behind as I looked at Alepsia\'s child form standing at a distance from me.

She walked into the gate from the 7th entrance, and following her, I too entered the temple. Took a couple of turns and Voila. We were once again in front of the secret room where Valencia and Ameliana were.

Following the same steps before, I entered the room with Alepsia as I saw Ameliana trying to increase her water magic.

"We recently found that she could use Fire, Water and Wind magic along with her Dark magic. Since she has the second highest affinity with water magic, we worked with that," Alepsia spoke as she walked towards a nearby chair.

Alepsia\'s form changed to a teenage girl as she sat comfortably on the chair and the same apple appeared in her hand from which she took a bite.

"Adam!" Ameliana, as usual, was shy but happy as she saw me. Her eyes glistened like a maiden in love as usual before she slowly moved closer to me. And just like always,

"You must have a lot of questions, right?" I spoke, making a half apologetic tone as she nodded at that. I gave a small smile as I spoke." I can\'t give an immediate answer to all the questions. But I am not exactly your lover… but more like a savior. You trusted me and helped me a lot, so…"

Repeating the same words as before, I tried to be honest just a little more to her. And just like before,

"Alepsia… this world… is going. All of us must get strong. Including me, obviously. This world is going to face a major disaster soon and we would be needed… all of you play a crucial role in it… I want you to be strong enough to not only protect yourself, but everyone around you. Ameliana… even you.."

The silence covered the entire room as both the girls looked at me.

-Thud!

The entrance gate opened up as I saw another familiar face in front of me. Or perhaps I should say two familiar faces.

One was Valencia, who looked like she had been through a battle just a few seconds ago. And another was…

"Gray," I spoke out his name, gaining his attention towards me. So he was captured by Valencia, wasn\'t he?

"You know this sin? I guess I made a good decision not to kill him and bring him here. After all, there was really really something odd about him," Valencia spoke proudly of her decision as she looked at me.

"Odd?" Alepsia asked curiously.

Valencia put her finger on the chin as she spoke out," ummm… he doesn\'t smell evil? Reminds me of you."

Valencia then looked at me, and so did the others in the room.

I took a deep sigh before looking at Valencia for a few seconds. My eyes then turned to Gray as I asked,

"You were going to find our counterpart and get your body back, didn\'t you?"

His eyes widened up even though it was just a skull.

"His demon took over his body and ran away. He is alive because his soul is kind of special as well." I looked sideways at Alepsia, making her look at Gray with a really interested filled gaze.

"Who…. are you?"

Gray was dumbfounded now. His skeleton face was more or less readable, and it was screaming to know how I knew about this secret of his.

"It\'s not important. It\'s not even important to how I got that information. What\'s important is," I began walking towards him with my smile widening as I spoke," would you like to know where your counterpart is?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence covered the entire room as everyone looked at me with their eyes widened. It was so much that I could hear Amelia\'s heartbeat in the room.

"What… Do you want?" Asked Gray as he looked at me. His desperation was clear in his voice. At this point, one can even say that I could feel his emotions.

I took a deep breath as my smile vanished again. Since this could very well alter the course of the entire future, I need to be very careful about how I deal with this situation.

"2 Year from now, go to the Great City of Light at the center of the Aurelian empire. I will give you the demon of greed there. But there are a few things I want in return," I spoke as I looked at his silent face,

"One is that you go to the demonic continent. Find a guy named Artemis in the city of Brigad and train under him for two years. Tell him the Harbinger of dawn sent you there."

"Artemis? Isn\'t he the 7th Greater demon under Beelzebub?" Ameliana spoke out in surprise as she looked at me.

"Yeah. He is. Though it\'s fine.. After all, he is there as a spy to kill Beelzebub," I mumbled as I recalled the story of Artemis and Beelzebub. Though when I snapped out of thoughts, I looked at the blank expression of everyone in the room again.

\'It\'s not really that much of a crucial expression since Artemis pretty much gets found out and dies but it\'s still shocking to them I guess,\' I looked at them with a mysterious smile before looking at Gray.

"So Gray. Would you do it or not?"
