Modern World Warlock-Chapter 74: The Harpion Twins (Part 1)

During the night that the simultaneous attacks happened in Midnight Bar, the Delta Team’s hideout, and Camille’s bait office building, agent Maya was sitting on her spot atop a building, guarding Dante’s home with a sniper rifle.

Suddenly, she saw Dante bolt out of the house from the front door, alerting her and requiring her to use her sniper scope to search the streets.

’What’s happening?’ She wondered, moving the scope from side to side and finding the street wholly empty.

When her crosshair landed back on Dante, she witnessed the warlock casting a spell that produced black feathered wings to extrude from his back.

With one flap of his wings, the warlock flew all the way up to Maya’s altitude, shocking the woman who followed his movement with her gaze.

As Dante hovered slightly above Maya, the moon behind him highlighted his winged, dark silhouette, and all she could see were his crimson eyes.

For a brief moment, Maya believed that her life was in danger, as Dante’s form and expression were quite intimidating. However, she noticed that the warlock was looking at something behind her.

Before Maya could turn around, Dante flew past the agent and caught the figure of a young boy with wings on his back by the neck.

"That was close… He was coming for you, Miss Maya," Dante muttered, shocking the agent, who was wholly unaware of the boy’s presence.

"Nghh!" The boy tried to release himself from Dante’s grip.

*Tsk* The warlock clicked his tongue in annoyance, slamming the boy head-first into the ground, leaving him unconscious.

As Dante let go of his neck, he pointed his palm at the demon boy on the floor when he felt another presence approaching at high speeds.

Calmly turning his gaze to the side, Dante took a single step back, avoiding the surprise flying kick of a young girl with the same body features as the boy.

Right after easily evading the girl’s attack, Dante caught her mid-air by the hair and threw her to the side against a couple of AC units.

"Asher!" The girl shouted, prompting the boy, who was pretending to be unconscious, to attack Dante while he was distracted.

Nevertheless, Dante caught the boy’s claws before they could get to his neck and slammed him against the ground several times like a rag doll.

The girl went back on the offensive to stop Dante from hurting her twin brother, but the warlock simply avoided her attack and kicked her in the stomach before catching the girl with his other hand.

As Dante stood holding the two young-looking demons by the neck in each hand, Maya returned to her senses.

"Two harpions, huh?" Dante muttered.

"Harpions?" Maya asked, shocked and confused.

"They are the spawns of harpies…" the warlock vaguely replied.

Seeing that the boy was looking more roughed up than the girl, the warlock asked with an intimidating tone if they had been feeding their blood to anyone, making the harpion girl shake her head in denial.

"It’s your lucky day, then…" Dante muttered, dropping the young demons on the floor and pointing his palm at them.

"Wait!" Maya shouted, catching the warlock’s attention and delaying the demons’ execution.

"Hmm? What’s wrong? Do you have another question for them?" Dante inquired.

"Well, yes… But also, I don’t think you should kill those two," Maya replied, her body still slightly in shock.

"These two are dangerous demons…" the warlock said.

"I get that… I can see it too," Maya continued, gazing at the young demons’ bat wings.

"But, I’ve known Camille for a very long time… She likes cute things," the agent said.

"Huh?" Dante hummed, raising an eyebrow and gazing back at the young demons.

’Cute? They are harpions!’ he thought.

"Look, let’s just talk to Camille first and see what she wants to do with them… You might not see it, but those two kids are indeed kind of cute," Maya commented with a straight face.

*Sigh* "Sure… It’s not like they can do anything if I’m around anyway," Dante replied with a somewhat defeated tone.

The pink-haired agent realized that she had found a new thing about the warlock that she didn’t know about.

For someone who could summon demons and use their powers, the warlock truly hated them with passion, to the point where he could easily kill two kids without remorse, as long as they were demons, of course.

Dante grabbed the two young demons in his arms and asked Maya to ride on his back, taking them down to their home’s front door.

Megan, who followed the warlock outside, seemed slightly shocked at the sight of the two beaten-up kids with wings on their backs.

When the two kids were commanded to sit on the couch, the two demons nervously complied while Megan sent Camille a message.

"Uh, oh…" Megan muttered when she looked at her phone.

"I don’t think Camille can come tonight," she continued.

The brunette received a detailed message about the different simultaneous attacks they had endured that night, prompting the warlock to turn his head to the twin harpions.

"Ah, so it was a planned attack… You were sent to kill our security and keep us here. Is that right?" Dante asked the twins.

*Gulp* "We…" The girl tried to speak up, going fully silent as the warlock stood before them with a menacing gaze.

"Tell us your whole plan, or else…" Dante continued.

With an apprehensive tone, the girl exposed the plans for that night, saying that there were four places that had been targeted—Camille’s office, the Delta Team’s hideout, Midnight Bar, and their home.

’I suppose the bait home did work…’ Dante thought.

"Was it Astaroth who sent you?" The warlock casually asked.

"N-not exactly…" the girl replied.

She elaborated and said that they had been summoned by a man named Sabelio, who used Astaroth to intimidate them into working for him. However, Sabelio ended up sending them to work under a different demon.

"M-Malgaroth…!" the girl said, fear plastered on her face as shivers ran down her spine.
