During the Dark Ages

"What the fuck was that?" Claire asked, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

"Oh nothing much..." I snapped my fingers and made a small flame appear at my fingertip. I noticed that the flame seemed hotter and darker than before.

"...just a skill I picked up." I continued with a smirk on my face.

"That's so cool." Tim said his eyes sparkling. I noticed that Kirt and his friend that threatened Tim had an expression of fear on their face and it doesn't take a genius to guess why.

"Damn right it is." I replied

"And let me guess you can't teach anyone how to do it." Claire said

"That's right, it looks like your finally getting it." I said and Claire just sighed 

"By the way how did you know those animals were coming at us." Claire asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That's a secret." I said while dismissing the flame at my fingertips and Claire just sighed.

The rest of the journey through the forest was peaceful with no more beast attacks but that didn't mean we were out of problems. We still didn't have any bullets and we only had three swords but with me being the only one that doesn't have to worry about being turned into a thrall everyone was reluctant to pick up a sword. And if that wasn't bad enough we were also running out of fuel, the driver had called me over and told me the problem he said that we should have enough fuel to reach City B but then we were on our own. But that was fine, we could probably find another vehicle or I could leave everyone inside and go find help from those guys at Santuary but if they were attacked by thralls they'd be screwed.

Soon we reached the city and soon the bus stopped.

"What happened, why did the bus stop?" Kirt asked

"We are leaving the bus behind." I said and started walking towards the door.

"What, why?" He asked again

"We ran out of fuel." I said as I stepped outside and he seemed to have understood our situation as well as he followed me outside. We left the guns inside as they were useless now and took as much food as we could carry along with the swords. The city looked exactly like City A, with abondoned cars everywhere and the occasional corpse here and there. I started to doubt whether there was even a camp here with the city in this state but I didn't voice my thoughts.

We continued walking cautiously through the ruined streets for a while and I felt that something was off but I couldn't quite place it. It took a few minutes for me to realize what was bothering me, I haven't seen a single thrall since I got here. Even if we weren't traveling by bus anymore we should have atleast seen one by now. Concerned I activated [Aura Vision] and although I did find undeads they were far away and I also sensed something I never sensed before....a golden aura and it seemed to be fighting an undead.

"Stay here I'll be back in a few minutes." I said and ran in the direction of the golden aura.

"Wha....." Claire started to say but I was too far away to hear what she said. I ran as fast as I could but the aura was still a ways away. So I did something I haven't tried before, I activated [Demon Transformation] and I was covered in black mist. Soon I had two horns, a pair of bat like wings and a tail. I started to flap my wings and soon, I was soaring through the sky at a fast speed and I have to say it was an amazing feeling. And soon, with my new speed, I reached my destination. 

Infront of me was an undead and from the looks of it a very powerful one and on the other side of the road was a bloody human with two white feathery wings on her back. She was holding a sword in her hand and she was looking between me and the undead nervously. I guess she must think I'm with this guy. I turned to the undead and conjured a ball of fire in my hand and threw it at the creature. The fireball hit it in the chest and caused it to skid across the floor. It then rushed at me and I flew towards it with my sword in hand but missed and received a claw to the chest and was sent flying into a building.

I got up off the ground brushing the dust off my clothes. I guess flying and fighting while flying are two different things. I ran towards the undead, dodged it's claw strike and then strike it in the legs with my sword. The sword dug into the creatures thigh but when it reached the bone it snapped in half. I guess the sword can't handle my new strength, with my sword broken I decided to use my natural weapons....my claws. I used [Demon Enchant] covering my claws in a red aura, I lunged at the undead and slashed at it's throat but it blocked it with it's hands. I jumped behind it held the back of it's neck with my hand and it clawed my hand but the damage done was negligible so I didn't let go.

Suddenly it's neck started glowing bright orange and the smell of burnt flesh permeated the air.

[You have slain a level 8 undead. You have gained 480 exp. ]

Soon the undeads body went limp and it's head fell to the ground while it's neck was reduced to ashes. Even though it was dead I allowed my flames to reduce the rest of it's body to ashes.
