* Feint - My Sunset *

"So, essentially, you were spying on me?" Raven asked, feeling her face getting warm. 

For someone as powerful as a demon ruler, there was no telling how much he could have seen, which meant that...

"I guess, that\'s one way of putting it," he said with a smile, still unaware of the predicament he was throwing himself in.

"Pervert…" Raven said in a low tone. A shade of golden hue seemed to spread in the air around her.

Blinking twice, the young man was confused for a second before realising what Raven had meant.

"Oh, apologies… I can imagine how you might have gotten the wrong idea here," he apologized with a bow. "But I meant discreetly monitoring your activities in terms of fighting and decision making."

She was still upset nonetheless. \'Am I an experimental rat?\' she thought in anger.

However, before she could make her move, the vortex in the gate started glowing violently again.

Calming herself down, Raven watched as a massive figure emerged from the gate. It seemed to belong to a titan.

From her spot, she could see that the titan\'s figure was covered in a shiny silver armour while a matching spear rested in his right hand.

Raven couldn\'t see the details or features of the newcomer and she didn\'t want to activate her True Sight since she didn\'t care much. Keith was with her after all, she could relax for a bit.

"### ######!!!!" The titan\'s voice was deep and ear piercing at the same time. But Raven didn\'t understand a word as the language was foreign to her.

Just as she thought that, something in her mind clicked, and she realised that the titan had said two words: "Bow, mortals!"

Raven was surprised since she almost forgot about her skills. A skill she had: The Elders\' Scrolls, supported with Kayla\'s knowledge, allowed her to understand foreign languages amongst other things.

As such, she knew this language was one that is most common in the Demon Plane.

\'I miss you Kay…\' she thought, remembering how Kayla used to always give her some critical suggestions to help her in combat.

Her being absent for a while now made Raven feel lonely.

Staring down at them, the titan flared his dangerous aura while approaching the group.

Bracing herself against the impact, Raven was surprised by the power the titan demonstrated. 

The trees around them seemed to be squished against the cracked ground.

Suddenly, a barrier materialised around Raven, providing her with protection against the violent aura.

"Are you alright, my mistress?" Keith asked politely, while shielding himself and Raven.

"Uhm," she nodded with a smile, before focusing back on the attacker. \'If I had to estimate his powers, I\'d say he\'s at least a rank A+ or maybe even A++\' she clicked her tongue, knowing this is going to be troublesome.

Not that she couldn\'t deal with them, but she wasn\'t ready to use her mana just yet.

\'Keith is more than enough to take care of him… I think,\' she thought to herself while glancing at Keith who was focused on the monster.

"Human and demons alike, in the name of her highness, the Cardinal Sin of Lust, Asmodeus, I ask you to cooperate and die quietly, or else your souls will be forever doomed!" The titan said as his aura was suddenly magnified, opening massive fissures into the ground.

Watching all of that quietly, Keith\'s master spoke in a chilly tone: "I see that the followers of Blue are as annoying as ever…" At that the titan seemed to suddenly retract his aura out of pure fear.

"I was having a conversation that I\'ve been long waiting for," he said his voice cold as ice. His eyes were menacingly staring at the titan who suddenly felt as helpless as a newly born hellhound.

"Insect, turn to ash!" With an intense glare in his eyes, Keith\'s master said.

Raven instinctively took a step backwards as she watched the massive titan turn from flesh to stone, from stone to ash, and from the latter into thin air.

Just as the ash was reduced to nothing. The sun seemed to start rising above the horizon. 

Although coincidental, Raven couldn\'t help but shiver slightly. After all, the person in front of her just evaporated an extremely high ranked monster!!

With enough light in the atmosphere now, Raven watched as Keith\'s master\'s expression returned from anger back into calmness.

"Apologies, I deeply despise those who don\'t respect their superiors," he said in a calm manner, just like before. "And even more those who interrupt others."

Now that she can see him clearly, more or less, Raven was able to observe his appearance closely.

Unlike Keith, he had coal black eyes with normal white sclera. Aside from that, he had void black hair, and pale white skin.

Even though he looked human, he felt anything but.

He was wearing a royal garment, similar to that of Keith, but it was more imposing.

"It\'s ok," Raven said, trying to think of her next course of action.

"Please don\'t be wary of me," he said as it was apparent that Raven was stressed. "I am not here to harm you. On the contrary actually, I\'m here to propose a contract with you.

"O\' Great One, will you accept me as your follower?" He said with a bow that left Raven even more confused.

"What? Why?" She asked the first question that came to her mind. "Why would someone as powerful as you, especially while being one of the Cardinal Sins, want to be under someone like me?"

"Hm, first and foremost, I\'d like to make it clear that I am not who you think I am." He said, "I am aware that you think I am Red, or the Cardinal Sin of Wrath, but that is not the case."

"You\'re not?" Raven asked, confused. \'This meant that Keith had lied to me? No, he wouldn\'t do that. Someone is hiding something...\'

"Yes," he answered. "Some high ranked demons in the Demon Plane know me as Red, that is correct, since I am playing the role of someone else. But this is only temporary, and I\'m afraid I can\'t share why exactly at the moment."

\'Ah so he\'s pretending to be Red, the Sin of Wrath for some reason,\' Raven thought to herself. \'That doesn\'t make any sense, but ok…\'

"However, you\'re free to call me Red or any other name you choose, O\' Great One," he said as he didn\'t really have a name. "Additionally, I believe what you meant by your question was what reason do I have for following you?"

"Yes," she answered. "What benefit would you gain from following me?"

"I see. Hm, the simple answer would be… a purpose." He said with a sigh. "While I may not be able to explain any further, I\'m pretty sure that everything will become clearer later on.

"After all, I didn\'t decide to follow you for what you are right now, but for what you will become in the future, O\' Great One" He said.

"I see," Raven said as she was instantly immersed in her own world, thinking about his request.
