C20 The Return Of The God Of Lightening

James flew into the sky and activated his ice cage skill to control the fire but even then he had to supply it with energy otherwise it would have melted from how hot the flames were.

After quenching the fire, he flew down to where Tom had fainted and picked him up and placed him in his storage space while glancing at the ground which was filled with scorch marks.

He took him back to the tip of the forest and placed him on the bed he had made for him to sleep then went to think.

"What do you think we should do to him, should we tell him the truth or not" James asked the system after thinking for sometime.

[I THINK WE SHOULD TELL HIM THE TRUTH BECAUSE ONLY THEN WILL HE BE ABLE TO CONTROL HIS POWER]

"You know how dangerous things are, if we tell him then the burden he already will increase and he is only a child" James said seriously as he let out a sign.

[I KNOW HE IS JUST A KID BUT THIS IS HIS DESTINY AND HE WILL BE SAFE AS LONG AS YOU ARE WITH HIM]

"i will have to give him that item, it will help him and I also need to get him a lot of skills to prepare him for anything, how long do we have until the army of demons arrive" James asked the system with a curious.

[JUDGING BY THE INTENSITY OF THE SITUATION, I WILL SAY, 1 YEAR AT LEAST BECAUSE THE BARRIER YOU LEFT BEHIND IS STILL THERE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS GROWN WEAKER OVER THE YEARS]

"We don't have much time and I am sure that I alone will not be able to fight back all of them so I need to get a team which consists of special and elite espers who will be able to fight back the demons and I will only get them by travelling around the world" James said with a mysterious smile as he glanced at Tom.

[SO IN THE SPAN OF ONE YEAR, YOU THINK YOU CAN GATHER A TEAM THAT WILL BE ABLE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE DEMONS ]

"yes that's exactly what I'm saying, I have enough system points to create an army if esper but I want to create an elite army not an ordinary army" James said while standing up as he walked towards Tom.

When he reached his place him in his dimension space and flew into the sky to start his journey as he thought " Just who are you Tom?".

By morning, James had already travelled a great distance but when he checked on Tom, he still hadn't woken up and he was starting to get worried.

[DONT WORRY, ITS MOST LIKELY THAT HE IS ABOUT TO EVOLVE SO DONT BE SURPRISED WHEN HE WAKES UP 10 YEARS OLDER WITH OP SKILLS]

"Oh why didn't you tell me that before, you made me worry for nothing" James said as he let out a sign of relief.

He travelled for some distance then stopped because the demon orb he had gained from Orik had started blinking.

"Shit, it's the demon orb, I think it is from their headquarters and how they communicate, wait I have an idea but it is a risky one" Jane's said while quickly changing his appearance to that of Orik.

"How do they answer this thing..oh yes hail lieutenant" James said as he tried to find out how to answer the org and when he did, a demon face popped up like a hologram then he knelt on one leg and lowered his head as he greeted the demon.

"Are you blind, do I look like a lieutenant and why does your voice sound strange you know never mind, why did your connection suddenly cut off and why didn't you report back and why aren't the lieutenants answering"The demon shouted then calmed down and asked him.

When he heard the demon shouting and complaining, he started to sweat and when he talked about his voice, his heart jumped into his mouth and he started to regret his decision but when he calmed down, he let out a sign of relief but before he could calm down, he was once again bombarded with questions.

"I am sorry commander, we encountered a little problem, a human suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking us, he killed Nanook and Zaroc but I managed to escape with the objective" James said with his heart in his throat. as he showed him, Tom's body which he had taken out before answering the call.

"Why are you calling me a demon.. wait what did you say, another human killed Zaroc and Nanook" The demon shouted then paused as he exclaimed with shock.

"Yes demon captain, another human who displayed amazing prowess, please forgive me for my incompetence, I need 1 year to investigate him and find out more about him while I am undercover so I may not check in for a while" James said as he tried to guess the name again.

"Are you all right, never mind the human, I will send a group of demon generals to take care of the human after the barrier breaks, you just have to move with the objective to the transport point and await your further instructions" The demon said after thinking for a while which confirmed James suspicion that Tom was the objective.

"Okay demon sergent how long will it take for the barrier to break" James said with his head still bowed.

"It will take 1 and a half years, but you already know that, hmm something is not right what is the secret code" The demon answered as a look of suspicion crossed his face before asking James.

"Um..uh.. I can't remember it, I got knocked out in the fight maybe that's what's causing it" James stammered as he tried to fork out a lie.

"Who are you. show yourself imposter, you maybe able to hide from my sight but I can sense that your aura is different did you think that you could trick from a demon king" The demon said with a deep voice as his face enlarged before him and a surge of invisible power enveloped James and forced him to cough out blood.

"Very strong, definitely not my opponent" James said as he struggled to stand up straight while the power suppressed him.

"What, you are actually able to resist my aura, you are definitely not weak" The demon screamed with shock.

"Hahaha did you really think such a weak aura could suppress me" James said with a wild laugh as he feigned strength.

"Hm, I can see that you are not normal but if you think I am weak then you better think again now reveal your true form" The demon said with anger as he increased the power of his aura.

When the power increased, James felt like he couldn't breath as he was forced to the ground again.

"You still don't want to reveal who you are, I will show you the power of a demon king" The demon said with a laugh as the invisible power threw James against a tree.

After being able to barely resist the invisible power and now again being thrown against a tree, James felt like he was about to lose consciousness as the power increased and caused him to cough out blood again.

As he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt a strange power within him resist the power and give him back his strength.

He felt the strange power give him strength as he felt like he was filled with infinite energy, while he was gaining power, he recognized the strange power.

"You really want to know who I am, I will show you who I am" James said to the demon as he got up from the ground like nothing was suppressing.

"How is this possible, how can you resist my aura so easily and what is this pressure that I am feeling, who are you" The demon asked with fear after seeing James resist his aura easily.

"I AM THE GOD OF LIGHTENING" James said as lightening started to gather on his eyes and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and shattered the hologram.

In the demon palace, the demon fell to the ground as he screamed in pain which attracted a demon from outside the room.

"Demon king what happened, who caused you some much damage" The new demon asked in fear after observing the demon kings injuries.

"The God of lightening has returned" The demon king struggled to say before falling to the ground and losing consciousness from the severity of his injuries.
