(Kabbal POV---DIARY)
Dear diary.
Today was a good day filled with the smell of death and the screams of people in the demon realm. i could not believe I had actually left all this to go to the heavenly realm all those years ago, only to get captured by that monster Zen.
We were good partners before; he gave me sacrifice, and I gave him power. it was such good cooperation, but of course, as a demon, I could not let such a delicious soul keep hovering around me without at least taking a bit of it, so I did what every demon would have done.
"Give me your soul for more power."
"No."
Yeah, he rejected me, which was surprising. I thought he was very power-hungry and would do anything for that power, but yet he rejected that offer, which made me angry, and I attacked him.
The aftermath? I was trapped in some kid who wanted to be the best in his sect, so I acted like a mentor, and after he was killed by some king for trying to take his daughter, I, of course, could not let his lovers become widows at such young ages, so I borrowed his body, claiming my prize.
But that blasted Zen came again and sealed me! Again! But this time he sent me back here, for which I am actually grateful.
But, let me at least enjoy some b*tches, Jesus Christ!
So in a way I thank him and also want to kill him.
Oh, I have to go; it seems some puny mortals are summoning me.

(Kabbal POV)
I want my mommy. I want to go back home and cuddle planet desroyer, and bathe in my pool of gore and intestines.
At first I did not notice the vessel I used to come to this plane was being moved since I was focused on these blasted humans who summoned me to actually eradicate... Guess.
Zen! That monster, I don't know why he is in the mortal realm, and I don't care; I want to be sent back.
"I will kill --- yeeee!!!"
Before I knew it, I was yeeted into another direction. as I prepared to strike whoever it was that was taking my vessel away, I saw the baba yaga standing at the entrance of the cave with my vessel floating behind him.
I don't know what happened after, but by the time I regained my senses, I was standing behind him looking at a group of humans pointing to me; they looked taller than me, but that was not my concern.
"Okay, calling her a demon is going too far," he said.
I raised my arms in a begging gesture, but he still noticed their awkwardness and pointing fingers and turned around.
"Uh, Hey?"
I'm fucked.
...
(MC POV)
"Uh, Hey?"
I looked at the imp in front of me and felt like cursing.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, massaging the middle of my brows.
"Y... you pulled me here." He answered, looking at the sorceress.
Did he say I pulled him here? And why is he looking at the sorceress? I hope he does not have any nasty thoughts about her.
"So I pulled you here, and you could not say anything along the way. a little please release me' would not hurt, right? You were very active back at the cave; why are you so meek now?" I questioned, even going as far as folding my arms and looking at him.
"Uh, did you perhaps hear everything?" He asked, poking his fingers together, I don't know why he is asking that, but...
"Yes, from the moment they summoned you, why are you---"
"Please forgive me. I had no Idea that you were there and even called you a monster. I deserve to be punished, killed even."
Uh...
What happened to Kabbal back in the demon realm? I don't recall him acting like this. Nevertheless, I got an idea when I saw him bow to me.
"Kill those bandits and wait for further instructions," I ordered.
What? since a helper fell from the sky, offering to help me, then I won't give him up.
"Ah, right away." He grew back in size and headed towards the bandit group.
"Let's go."
"Yes, master/Elder Zen."
As I took flight, carrying the core disciples along with my wind magic,.
I realized that I have to give Chuyan some tools too.
"Uh, master Zen?"
I looked behind only to see Kabble flying with us. He is done already? That was quick.
"Okay, since you are done, let's go." I can't let him out of my sight, and since his life is tied to that of the sorceress, I had already left a tracking ring on him.
When do you ask? Details, details.
"Uh, no, actually I am tethered to her." He pointed at the sorceress
"..."
That was what he meant by me pulling him here, huh? He was actually tethered to her; that means those dark sect guys are still alive. Sigh, I guess I have to do some cleaning up then.
Looking at kabbal and then at the sorceress, and then at the disciples, I realized that I can't leave them with this guy since he might run away... He could have also left the bandits and run away too, huh?
I think I need a vacation.
...
We are back at the sect, thankfully, and it has been close to a week since the eradication quest.
I am currently with the sect master as he was congratulating me for eradicating the bandit group and saying something about how the sect needs more powerful people like me around and some other things.
But right now, my mind was on the sorceress in my courtyard, who has not woken up once, which worries me. I had already sealed Kabbal, but it seemed he had taken a lot of vitality from her, causing her to slip into a coma.
I asked mother for some pills to keep her alive, but it seemed I would really need to head to an auction house to get the needed ingredients for it.
I might use this to also form some connections.
"How is your disciple, master Zen?"
"Huh? Oh yes, she has actually been progressing very well this past week," I answered, looking at him weirdly.
"That's good, that's good," He hummed, stroking his beard.
I don't like that look; it looks like he wants to give me more work.
"I heard you brought a woman to your courtyard after coming back. is that right?" He asked again, looking at me with a smile.
"Yes, sect master?"
This feeling I don't like.
"Okay, I just wanted to know if it was true; you may leave." He continued stroking his beard as he looked at me.
"Okay, sect master."
I literally ran away from his courtyard. I need to go on that adventure fast. it seems there is work heading my way, and also look for the herbs to help the sorceress.
"Chuyan, pack your things; we are going on a trip to somewhere far from here!" I screamed as soon as I entered my courtyard and dashed to my room, packing my own clothes.
"Ah! Alright master."
The sorceress would be taken care of by mom, so I am not worried, but with the sect master here looking at me like that.
I don't like it.
Long trip, here I come.
