Regi reaches the centre with Kamiko...
"Sir..... I think we were a bit late" Regi.
He says this after seeing the injured bodies of Haru and Yamado...
Suddenly Riya's face flashes through Regi's mind...
"Riya!... Where is she..." Regi.
He spots Adryn... With him was Riya...
Regi Sighs in relief...
"Sir, please do your job.... Calm down the mob of people.." Regi.
Kamiko goes back to calm the mob...
He runs towards Adryn...
"Adryn... What's happening here" Regi.
Adryn remains silent...
"Why are you not speaking..." Regi.
He spots Adryn looking towards the centre of the tree...
Adryn tells in a low voice...
"It's.... Its returned once again...." Adryn.
He says this not with fear in his voice, but excitement too make sure to capture him this time...
They three (Riya is with them too) look towards the centre which is shinning brightly...
Toxin "Yamado Open your mouth.... Haru already drank it... Now it's your turn...".
They both drink it...
They came back to their consciousnes...
They see Toxin's face... Which is pale...
He tells them " Look at the centre of the tree.... It's moving towards us...".
The Root Devil starts moving towards it....
"Welcome my master" Root Devil.
A figure emerges from the centre of the tree...
It's the Essence Devil....
Haru and Adryn failed to Recognise it...
Because... It's reawakened...
Adryn smirks...
Haru to himself "it does not look like from what Sensei said...".
It looks like...
Muddy head and Marshy Body.
It's floating.
It has a flower in the centre of its chest.
It's body blue in colour...
"Back for more.... Huh" Adryn.
It was down from the centre of the tree.
"My.... My Master... Welcome back" Root Devil.
It kneels before Essence Devil...
Essence Devil pats on Root Devils head..
"Well done my boy... You fooled this much people for joining a stupid Carnival... That I haven't been felt this much powerful before I went on my slumber"...
The Essence Devil squeezes little blood from his flower....
He feeds it to Root Devil...
The Root Devil glows and it's body colour also changes to blue in colour...
"Humans are fools... Who would believe in a stupid kind of rituals..." Essence Devil.
Everyone gets stuck due to the Essence Devil's overwhelming presence.
"Why are you all motionless... Did I scare you all" Essence Devil after looking at Haru's, Yamado's and Toxin's faces
It starts laughing....
"You are too much my master..." Root Devil.
"I don't think so" a voice from a little distance... It was Adryn Sensei...
He smiles at the devil...
"Why are you smiling.... And who are you" Essence Devil.
"Master, may I speak" Root Devil.
"Yes, you may" Essence Devil.
"That is Adryn Sorryu.... The strongest Exorcist of Today" Root Devil.
"What Adryn?.." Essence Devil Panic.
He looks closely at Adryn's face.
"It's really.... Him?.... The one who put me to my deep slumber... Your name was Adryn Sorryu" Essence Devil.
"How did you remember me" Adryn.
"How can I forget.... The one who send me to my Long slumber... And not tell your friend was pretty pathetic" Essence Devil.
[ The friend referred here is Kaito from ROOKIES IN THE RAIN ].
Adryn gets angry....
"How dare you call he was weak... Because of his sacrifice it was possible... I defeated you..." Adryn.
Energy Ball!.
Adryn uses.
It was almost gonna hit Essence Devil but.... Root Devil came in between...
"You can't touch master... You have to defeat me first before confronting my Master..." Root Devil.
"Forget it... Do you wanna die" Essence Devil.
The Devil's face turns angry...
"This is the guy who almost send me to my slumber... And you think you can win against him" Essence Devil.
Root Devil apologizes...
He makes the way for Essence Devil...
Crimson Fists... Metal Amplification... Simultaneously...
"What did you just say... Rooty..." Haru.
"You have to get past us... Before you confront Sensei..." Yamado.
"This is bad... Openly confronting one of the devil's who is the reason fro apocalypse... I am not a fool... But for my friends... You have to fight me" Toxin with a scared look on his face.
"What are these kid doing.... This is bad... If the Devil gets mad we are done" Regi in his mind...
"Stop it you kids are you joking... It's dangerous" Regi.
"Hey Regi.... Do you think they are joking right now.... Look into their eyes" Adryn.
Regi looks into the kids eyes... It was filled of determination...
"Huh... These are your students?" Essence Devil.
"Yeah, so what?.. you've got any problem..." Adryn.
"Huh... How pathetic... You strong warrior babysitting these dumb kids" Essence Devil.
"Who are you calling dumb you freak" Yamado.
"You kids are all meathead... You don't leave me with any other choice... Let's do this then" Essence Devil.
"Don't forget Master... I will also be by your side..." Root Devil.
"But don't interfere in my fight.... Those two kids ( Haru and Yamado ) are mine... They talk to much... And Adryn is well" Essence Devil.
They all take their fighting stands...
"Riya go hide somewhere this is going to get really messy" Regi.
Regi draws out his sword..
Shimi's image and others images flashes through Haru's and Yamido's minds...
Time pauses...
In Haru's mind...
"The fun is about to begin Haru... If you have any trouble I will happily take control of your body" Crimson Devil.
"No need... Cause I will defeat this monster... With my friends and Sensei" Haru.
"Don't mind taking my help if you are overhelmed" Crimson Devil.
"I said you... I don't need it.... Now send me back to the reality..." Haru.
Devil sighs sadly...
"You haven't...huh" Crimson Devil.
Time Resumes...
Let's do this.....
[Real fight begins.... From next chapter onwards... Be ready]....
