Alister: And there went my source of information. What's on your mind? Candala did not answer anything, but just prayed to the mothman. Alister: What did I do to deserve this? Alister pricked a finger and the mud covering the Mothman compressed the corpse into a very compact shape, like a football. Alister: I would even take the body, but I do not want to be held responsible if I give trouble later. A fireball lit up inside the mudball and reduced the monster to ashes. Candala: How can you be so insensitive? Alister: And how can you be so clueless? Candala: You're so disgusting, you even look like a fucking mercenary! Alister: Glad you noticed, because the difference between an adventurer and a mercenary is only in the way you pronounce the name, regardless of any fantasy in your hollow head.

The two of them did not talk much of the time, Candala tried to track where the Baphomet would be, but the animals could only give her an approximate location, since those who came near did not return, however that limited the search area for Alister. Half the day passed when they finally found the monster.

Candala: So that's Baphomet? Alister: The only one. Candala: So how do you plan to deal with it? Alister: Discretion will not work with this one, so the way it's going to be to start with full force right out of the box. I'm sure you've figured it out, but it's way above your level. Candala wanted to say something even if it was only to contradict Alister, but she had to admit that just getting close of that thing already frightened her, far beyond what she thought possible. Alister threw a small bag for the girl. Candala: What is it? Alister: Monarch wing, if you want to go away use this, it will be better than flying the whole way back. Candala: Are you doing charity? Alister: No, just avoiding an infernal headache that Yaga will give me if something happens to you, but to make it clear, my "charity" ends here, if this monster or anything else gets you will be your problem not mine.

Alister "greeted" the Baphomet with a simple fireball that was barred. Baphomet: You again? Alister only shrugged his shoulders. Baphomet: You think this insignificant spell will do something to me? Alister: No, I figured you might have a passive ability to protect you from low-level magic attacks or a defense prepared in advance, my guess is that it was the first, but I'm not sure. Baphomet: You are very petulant to such a small and fragile creature. Alister: And you're too arrogant for someone so ugly and stinky. Alister laughs. Alister: So how should I call you? Baphomet: My name is not for human ears, even if it were he will not serve you in a few moments. The monster raised his arm and tossed a ball of blackened fire at the adventurer who seemed to be hit.

Alister: Not bad, but you have to be smarter. Alister avoided the attack, but could not see how. Alister: As a kid a monster from a story I read that was called Valli, I think I'm going to call you that. The Baphomet named Valli did not like the petulance. Valli: I think I'll play with you after all. Valli used a skill called Magical Twin, this created a magical body similar to that of the wearer, the body is much more fragile than the original, but can use all the abilities of the wearer, although he still needs to provide the energy. With this ability in action Valli could fight against Alister while the copy took care of opening the portal. Valli: Your life ends here. Valli used the thunder spell launching a heavy attack against Alister, but Alister anticipates and raises three iron rocks that protect him from the attack. Alister: My turn! Alister knocks the cane to the ground and several stone stakes sprout from him going towards Valli, but this avoids simply by flying. Valli: Fool. Alister smiles and snaps his fingers. An explosion occurs underneath the stakes and they fly towards Valli forcing him to defend himself with a barrier. He believes he is safe from the attack, but a second source of magic came from behind and he avoids an attack with only a burn. Valli: An Ignis. A Ignis appeared out of nowhere, by the appearance she was on Alister's side, but strangely she was staring blankly, like a puppet. Valli: A contract of slavery? Alister: So you noticed? I have managed to subdue several elemental spirits and now I can use them as I see fit. If it was a slave contract Valli could use a spell to undo it, but it would not be so simple in Alister's case, his contract used an extremely complex and intricate spell, it would require a lot of power to undo him the force, more than the Baphomet was capable of providing and doing the conventional way would require a lot of time and constant concentration, even Valli would need a few hours to do so.

Valli: Well, whatever, one more or less spirit will not make a difference. Valli used two spells, one of water and one of ice, at the same time, but these were barred by three spirits, Sylphs, who formed a tornado between him and Alister. The tornado returned against the monster that had to annul it with a similar spell. Valli: How many spirits do you have? Alister: Who knows. Alister used a large-scale attack with the four spirits invoked, Valli retaliated with a spell in height and the two began a power duel. Valli: How long do you expect to keep it like this? We both know that you can not keep up with me. Alister: Not much. Valli's hull froze where they were. Valli: But what ... Would not you have? Alister: A Glacier? Why not? Alister summoned two more Ignis to increase the power of the attack. Valli was taken by surprise and was forced to use a spell just to defend himself, it cost him one arm, but soon another would grow in place. Valli: That's enough! Valli used several earth spells in sequence and formed a stone golem based on himself. Alister used two Gnomes to replicate the same effect, though his golem did not resemble anything, just a lot of humanoid-shaped land. The two exchanged powerful punches. Cantala watched the fight as horrified, fearing for her life, but she could not stop staring.
