I looked at Varek, whose face was twisted with pure rage, as he tried to rip the needle out of his neck. But getting rid of a demonic artifact designed to suck on the souls wasn't exactly easy, was it?
I steadied myself and quietly sent my cards drifting in different directions around the room.
I wasn't here to fight and all I needed to do was buy time. As for the many students currently rushing up to support their leader, Varek? Well, I didn't care much about them. After all, I had subordinates of my own among the second-years.
Rio.
The same human who had decided to follow me after bombing my dorm on the first day at the academy. Over time, he had recruited quite a few other humans into my faction and given their resentment toward demons, it hadn't exactly been difficult.
I had instructed Rio to join the battle the moment he received my signal and by now, I was sure he had already made his move and was probably keeping Varek's lackeys occupied.
"Who the hell are you?!"
