Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Demon Possession.

"Finally we are back..." Rozan stretched his arms after a long flight back to the United States. "Are we going to go straight to the portal?" Rozan looked at Mykel who walked in the front.

"We will go tomorrow early in the morning. I have to meet with Richard first," Mykel answered.

After spending three days in Alfredo's place, everyone went back to their own country. They enjoyed their time there, and they didn't even bother that the Redshield Guild's team wasn't there after the spar. They were glad that those people weren't there with them because it would be unpleasant.

Mykel went to Washington DC to meet with Richard because he had something to discuss. As soon as Mykel entered the White House, Russel guided him to a different place than usual. The place was unreachable by ordinary people, and not even by the staff in the White House.

"Please go this way, Mister Mykel," Russel said as he pointed at the hallway.

Mykel walked the hallway and Russel didn't follow him from behind, he went back from where they came from. When Mykel reached the end of the hallway, he looked at the wall in front of him, but then it started to rotate. Mykel was a bit surprised when he saw the emblem of an eye inside a triangle on the wall.

"Welcome to the family, Mykel," Richard said as he poured himself a glass of whiskey.

"Who would have thought that you're a part of this as well," Mykel entered the room and looked at the pictures of all the ex-presidents of the United States who were a part of the cult.

"This has been going on for so long and of course, all the money that flows in this country comes from them. We are just one of the many," Richard replied and drank his whisky. "You'll be surprised when you meet the others," Richard continued.

"I already know the other executive members. Since you know about me already, that means the others should know as well," Mykel said as he sat down. "But that's not why I'm here. I came here to tell you that we are going to enter the portal tomorrow early in the morning," Mykel continued.

"I see. You're going to bring back the dead bodies?" Richard asked.

"What bodies? I'll only bring back the artifacts," Mykel answered.

"How much is he going to pay you for that?" Richard asked again.

"He's not going to pay me anything, but you will," Mykel answered as he looked at Richard.

"What do you me-" Before Richard could ask, his phone rang and he was surprised when he saw the name on his phone screen.

"Looks like he has something to say. I'll meet you again once I'm back," Mykel said as he patted Richard's shoulder and then left.

Mykel went back to New York, and he realized that one of the streets was busier than usual. He saw people celebrating a group of people on the street, he asked the pilot what it was all about, and the pilot said that it was the return of the Awakeners who had been on a journey for a month.

"I heard from the locals that there's this kid who has amazing talent, and they believed he would be the best Awakener in the future," The pilot said as he looked down at the street. "That kid has a skill that made him unable to get exhausted, and said that he had killed hundreds of demons before you came, Sir," he continued.

"Really? Do you catch his name?" Mykel asked and kept looking at the people dancing and cheering on the street.

"If I remember correctly, his name is Anzel," The pilot answered.

"Anzel," Mykel raised his eyebrows.

Mykel decided to check the ladies' penthouse and saw everyone was gathering there except for Lyneth and Edith since they immediately took care of the guild.

"You're back already?" Jeanne asked.

"My business is done with Richard, and I was about to summon all of you here, but seeing that everyone is here already, I can go straight to the point," Mykel said as he rested his hands on his waist. "I think you guys saw it already, about the Dukes of Hell. The one that I killed, she was a human, and I think they're in a similar situation as Aurea back then when Mazikeen possessed her body," Mykel continued.

"But since they're not supported by the system, unlike Aurea, they can't use their full power. What I'm trying to say is that all of them used to be humans before the Dukes of Hell possess their bodies," Mykel explained as he looked at Rozan. "What do you think?" Mykel asked since Rozan had learned more about Demonology.

"As far as I know, the history of this world about possession is similar to the one that we know. In Aurea's case, Mazikeen entered her body and tried to take over her body which made her almost die. Here, it's similar, but the demon can't use their power once they entered a human body as if they don't belong in a human body. But, it would be a different scenario if the human offered their souls to the demon and let the demon take over their bodies which is the possibility of what happened to them, the chance would be close to zero," Rozan answered as he thought really hard.

"So that means they have to offer at least a hundred bodies until the Duke of Hell can control over a human body?" Gunnar asked.

"We are talking about a normal demon here, so if we are talking about a demon with a high rank, especially a Duke, that would take thousands or even more than that," Rozan answered and he looked unsure about it.

"No wonder Agares was pissed about it when Mykel killed that woman," Aurea said. "But, what about the demons that Alfredo has bought from us? If he really going to summon a demon with those, are they going to bring in more demons to Earth?" Aurea asked as she looked at Rozan and Mykel back and forth.

"There are so many Dukes of Hell in the book, and I believe he's going to summon more of them. Since they're basically a spirit with no real physical body, they're going to enter a human body just like Agares and the others," Rozan answered as he checked his phone. "If that's what Alfredo is planning to do, why don't you stop him, Mykel?" Rozan asked.

"What for? Both Gods and Demons are trying to kill us. Let the Gods fight the demons through these Awakners because our goal isn't really to stop this. Let one of them lose the war, and then we take care of the winner after," Mykel answered.

"Then why do we enter the portal if we're not going to stop the demons?" Sven asked.

"To bring back Aurea's sisters. They're in there somewhere, and we are going to need all of them back," Mykel answered as he looked at Aurea who was blankly staring at nothing. "That's our priority, and we are going to do whatever it takes to bring them all back," Mykel continued.

All of them nodded with understanding.

"What are we going to do after that?" Jeanne asked.

"Visit the Gods. We haven't seen the real them, and I'm quite curious what they look like here. Also, there's something that I want to confirm with some of them," Mykel answered as he looked at his wristwatch.

"Confirm?" Aurea asked.

"Yes. I want to confirm if they're going to be our allies or not. If not, we are going to subdue them just like back then," Mykel answered. "Anyway. You guys get some rest, I'm going to the office to speak with Lyneth," Mykel said and then left.

(At Lyneth's office)

"Are you busy?" Mykel asked as he looked at Lyneth at her desk with a pile of documents on her desk.

"Not really. This is nothing. What's wrong?" Lyneth asked as she looked at Mykel sitting at the desk.

"I want you to find information about an Awakener, and his name is Anzel," Mykel answered as he grabbed one of the documents to help Lyneth with her work. "I'm interested in this kid because he has a skill that made him unable to get exhausted," Mykel continued.

"What are you going to do with that kid? Recruit him?" Lyneth asked.

"We'll see," Mykel answered as he looked out the window.
