Mike stumbled to the ground, he had been flying for about an hour and had only now just found what he was looking for, a city, his plan was simple: find someone and use [Control] on them, then have them take Mike to their home where he would recover for some time before moving on East, though his current predicament seemed to be bigger than he had imagined as he suddenly felt his stomach swirl and he hurriedly walked over and puked behind a dumpster, he was currently in some back ally and it was around 2 in the morning, which gave him about 3 hours to find someone before the city woke up again
'At that point, I need to assume that it's game over…'
Mike sighed and wiped his mouth before he stumbled around the corner in the alley and looked around in front of him was a small church tucked into the side of the highrise building, the space that wasn't occupied by the church created a small alley where a nun was sweeping the ground, or at least she had been until Mike stumbled around the corner, now she looked straight at him, before he managed to do anything the nun spoke
"A demon!"
Mike narrowed his eyes and kicked off the ground, or at least he tried to as he quickly discovered that he was off balance and only managed to stumble forwards before he fell on to the ground again
'This damn poison..!'
The nun also stumbled backward before she grabbed the cross necklace she always wore around her neck and pointed it towards Mike
"Come on, woman…"
Mike felt this was a great insult and yelled in perfect English as he attempted to get on his feet
"Do I look so much like an imposing demon!?"
The nun ignored his yell and yelled after another person by name
"Beth! A demon appeared!"
"What?"
"A demon! A blue one!"
Mike felt his strength leave him as he collapsed on the ground, then he quickly scanned his blood before he began filtering out the poison, a few minutes passed with this before he suddenly began struggling to get up again and saw that another person had appeared
'Great now there's two of them…'
The newly arrived nun looked at Mike before she sighed and made a quick prayer, then she walked over to Mike and rolled him around onto his back before she began checking his pulse as she asked
"Are you hurt?"
Mike looked up at her before he decided to give her a straight answer
"I've been poisoned… Some sort of slow-acting poison…"
"Great… A poisoned demon… Lily come here and grab his feet, we're bringing him inside"
"What!"
"You heard me! Now get over here!"
"Fine"
Mike felt that they were going to help him, and with that, his sense of tension was broken and he passed out at once…
When Mike woke up again he quickly attempted to sit himself up, only to find that he was almost completely paralyzed, mentally cursing once he began to filter out the poison in his blood as he looked around, it was a small room with a cross hanging above the bed
'Looks like they really took care of me…'
Mike looked down at his body, with the scan of his body he could feel that he had been fed some medicine, probably by the nuns, once the filtration processes were almost done Mike sat himself up on the bed and saw that a glass of water had been placed beside him on the end table, he quickly drank it before he put his finger into the empty glass and then though his porers the poison filtered out into the glass, Mike picked up the glass and looked at the poison within, it was almost completely clear, it was also odorless and while didn't want to taste it he figured that it was probably tasteless too
'Well, would you look at that…'
Mike shock the glass around for a bit before he placed it back onto the end table
'...'
Mike sat and stared into space for a bit his mind refused to think so he simply sat there, then came a sense of peace that then was broken by more of the poison leaking into his bloodstream from his guts, he quickly filtered it out before he decided something
'I need to be stronger… Not to take revenge, I need to become so strong that the whole world will be happy to exact my revenge for me in order to gain my favor…'
As Mike sat there something changed within him, he no longer wanted to become stronger for the sake of just gaining strength, he wanted to get stronger for the sake of peace, his own peace

'For that, I don't care how many people I have to slaughter…'
Mike gathered his strength and looked up before he spoke out loud
"But is this the resolve I was told to find..?"
A few seconds passed and just as Mike was about to shake his head a voice sound out right next to his ear
"It is, very good Mike, very good indeed"
Then the space in front of him warped before he disappeared from the small room…
Mike opened his eyes next to him sat Beel and looked at her flower garden, Mike sighed before he spoke
"I am back…"
Beel seemingly ignored him as she began speaking
"Like a wave, they washed over my homeworld, my home plane… At that time they were the invaders… We just wanted peace, so we grew our strength and fought back for so long that most of us lost our own ego…"
Beel turned her head and looked over at Mike, Mike looked into her eyes, at that moment he saw how tired her eyes appeared to be, then they flickered as resolve appeared from deep within, it gushed out and overwhelmed the tiredness as she spoke again
"Once we have conquered this 4th plane of existence we'll finally know peace… So first off we have to get you back into shape Mike"
Beel opened her hand and a red fruit appeared there, Mike recognized the fruit as being one of the experience fruits, though this seemed to be way older, Beel showed a smile before she explained
"This fruit contains the mana of an entire prime world from the 3rd plane…. I wonder if your body will be able to take it?"
Mike showed a smile, a rather fearless one at that
"Please, I haven't suffered for so long just to choke on a mere fruit"
Beel's smile widened slightly before she handed the fruit to Mike, then Mike bit into it without any fear, from there Mike took another bite, then another, he lept eating until there was no more fruit to eat, then he crossed his legs and closed his eyes as he began absorbing the potent mana, the potent experience from the fruit as his body was wrecked from the inside, it was a battle between Mike's body and the fruits potent mana and a question of who would break first… One day passed… Three days passed… A week… A month… Then finally Mike opened his eyes again his body was covered in the morning dew, as he stood up it began falling off him, rolling down his clothes before he summoned his wings and flapped them hard, mere moments later he was standing in front of the temple and walked directly into a prayer room as the nearby Wind spirits bowed their heads to him, Mike couldn't care less about that however as he gave a single command
"Guard the door"

Mike pressed the Y and then he felt the familiar feeling of rapidly growing stronger, only this time it didn't seem to stop anytime soon, Mike felt his every cell, muscle fiber, and bone strengthen so much that they were incomparable to what they had been mere moments ago, he felt his body grow denser and stronger, and then just as the feeling was about to overwhelm him it stopped as the crystal ball he had his hand on shattered into tiny pieces that quickly turned to dust, Mike closed his eyes and felt the surrounding mana, it was as if the mana in an area the size of the Wind spirit city had become his, he had full control over it, Mike stepped out of the prayer room before he muttered the name of his new skill
"[Blood aura]"
With that as its command, the blood inside his body began churning faster and faster as a faint red mist appeared around his body, as the red mist appeared all the mana paths inside his body expanded outwards as the number of them instantly tripled, Mike ignored the gazes of awe from the Wind spirits around him and walked out of the temple and looked up into the sky as he showed a smile and retracted his aura, Julie was there, she slowly descend with a soft smile on her face, she landed in Mike's embrace and nestled into him as she quickly checked him for the smell of some unknown women, once she confirmed that he was still entirely hers she showed a smile and looked up at his face
"Welcome back Mike"
"Yeah I am back Julie"
