The demon lord son live as a exorcist

The masked boy didn't wait for a response.

With a casual motion, he reloaded his gun, the metallic click echoing through the ruined streets (CLICK. CLACK.).

"Follow me. You'll die if you stay here."

Ivan, Liza, and Noah exchanged glances before trailing behind him. They were exorcists, but right now, they were completely out of their depth.

The boy moved like a shadow, his speed unnaturally fast (WHOOSH!).

His gun flicked up—

BANG!

A monster lurking in the alley collapsed, its head blown clean off (THUD.).

Another lunged from the side—

He spun, dodged mid-air, and shot it before his feet even touched the ground (BOOM!).

Liza whispered, "He's clearing the path by himself…"

Noah narrowed his eyes, tracking the boy's movements.

"No wasted energy. Every shot is precise."

Ivan tightened his grip.

"Just who is he?"

The Edge of Memory

They walked through the war-torn streets, but thanks to him, no monster came close. The boy's presence alone was overwhelming.

After what felt like an eternity, the fog thinned.

The air became lighter.

Ahead, a clearing appeared—

The Safe Zone.

The boy stopped.

"This is it. You're safe here."

Ivan, Liza, and Noah stared ahead.

Something about this place felt… different.

Noah tensed. "Wait. This… this is the edge of the memory."

Liza's eyes widened. "You're right! This place—it's where the memory stops."

Ivan looked at the boy, realization dawning.

"This… this must have been the last place he saw before everything ended."

The boy simply turned away.

No goodbyes. No explanation.

"Stay put. I've got work to do."

And with that, he disappeared into the fog.

"Wait!" Ivan stepped forward. "At least tell us your name!"

The boy paused for a brief second—just long enough for them to hope he might answer.

Then, without turning around,

"..."

And just like that—he was gone.

The three stood in stunned silence.

Liza broke it first. "Okay… WHAT was that?"

Noah ran a hand through his hair. "That guy—he's insane."

Ivan adjusted his glasses, deep in thought.

"He was an exorcist. He even knew how to use Energy Gathering… but from when?"

Back in the Present

Before they could even process further—

Their vision blurred.

The Safe Zone flickered.

The illusion shattered.

Reality came crashing back in.

Cold Air. Rusted Metal. The Industrial Zone.

They woke up.

The ruins surrounded them. The sky above was dark and cold.

But before they could even move—

A massive energy surge hit them.

Ahead—

Their Instructor Yumi was in battle.

She clashed against something monstrous, her movements a blur as she dodged a powerful attack.

The ground cracked beneath her (BOOM!).

Ivan, Liza, and Noah barely had time to react.

The nightmare wasn't over yet.
