Chapter 14
When the night fell, I knew something had happened to her, or else she wouldn't have taken so long.
I quickly packed the book and a few devil coins she had left here and planned to escape from there.
I had a gut feeling they knew where we were and had already killed the maid.
Unfortunately, I was too late as I noticed from the window of my room, two police demons watching me with cold eyes as they stood on the opposing building's rooftop.
It was the end for me.
'Hah, I guess this is it for our family, hahaha…'
I stared, as a massive ball of blazing hot blue fire was coming toward my face.
My face contorted in that of absolute hate as they planned to destroy the whole building along with me without the care of the screaming demons below.
My eyes went dark and the air around me became ominous as I tried to use my bloodline magic to counter even after knowing how useless it is, they were simply out of my league.
'Cruel bastards, if I make it out of here, I will crush you all!'
I didn't get to think much before the fireball destroyed the building turning everything into ashes.
Everything went dark for me as well.
-----------------------
The two police demons observed the scene without any expressions and after the building was destroyed fully, they went down to check out the scene to ensure that their plan succeeded.
It was an overkill move for them as they knew a child like her would never survive after taking that, hell, even they would be injured badly.
But they were here on strict orders from above to do their best and report every little detail, they were both quite capable and that's why they were assigned on this mission to eliminate such a heinous criminal family.
They scanned the surroundings as they observed the dead bodies of fleeing demons living there as well.
Some sacrifices were necessary to attain peace so they didn't hesitate to launch the fire magic, who knows if that young brat had some tricks under her sleeve, being someone from that family, it was possible.
Once they noted that not even the ashes were left they wrote it in their diaries and took some photos of the scene.
They had to leave as they were on the mission secretly and such a loud explosion from earlier is bound to attract attention so they quickly left afterward.
As for the traitorous maid, they had been following her scent since she escaped and found her hiding in this dumpster, they beheaded her and kept her head as solid proof of their success.
The maid was pretty desperate when she found out she had been caught and did her best to reach back to the brat in the building but was killed by them in the end.
-------------------
In a huge office
"Yes, my lord, they have successfully eliminated the remaining and last survivor of that family with their own hands and have collected proof as well, they are headed back right now."
A demon in a police uniform was making a report to the head of the department, Azazel Henri.
He was listening to the report with his eyes closed as his subordinate finished the report.
"Good work, collect the proof and store it for future reference."
"Yes sir!"
The demon saluted before leaving the office.
When he was left alone in the room, he sighed
"Finally, we eliminated that family to its root, but Lord Delkiler had gone missing else he would have been very happy."
With a final sigh, he closed the file he was reading, about Noel's family forever.

A few weeks later in the slums
One could see a girl with short and dirty black hair walking alone staggeringly in the streets of this dark city, her clothes looked ragged and decorated with holes.
Her skin was covered with dirt and dust making her look like a beggar or a local of this area.
But strangely enough, no thug or other demon around dared to cross paths with her.
Reason?
Her dark black eyes, those eyes were darkened ominously and the resolve they were carrying.
The sharp determination looked like it would cut through their throats without them knowing.
She seemed determined and resolved to do something but her eyes were sad deep inside.
She was Noel.
She had survived that dangerous fireball.
How?
At that time when the fire was about to wreak her along with the building, she used her bloodline magic in hopes of surviving.
[Dark Philosophy]
She knew she had one chance only to survive this.
She bet everything she had on her magic spell, her entire mana pool, her entire mind power, her entire body, she bet everything she could muster up just to survive it.
And it worked as a terrifyingly small black ominous portal appeared in front of her, the portal, although small in size was roaring with magic power as it sucked her inside it and teleported her away to a few areas away from where she originally was just before the fireball hit her and killed her.
She although survived, she was dangerously weakened and could not even stand properly much less walk…
She didn't have mana to use and her body was feeling like a hollow shell.
She had no physical strength as well.
She was feeling hungry and cold, cold because her clothes were damaged badly due to that.
Using a stick she found, she walked.
She survived but now what?
She didn't have a purpose to live now….
Her mom…
Her dad…
Her house….
Her belongings…
The maids and butlers….
All of them were no more.
