With the increase in my strength as well as my new found storage of demonic energy my confidence soared through the rood . When I left the cave I activated stealth but this time it felt stronger than before .
From my hypothesis because of the addition of demonic energy in my body as well as my proficiency in controlling life force my stealth capabilities went up a couple notches . Finding myself a nice place to hide not far from the cave I observed my targets .
After 5 minutes I save 17 shadows appear from the forest . 5 of them had power levels of high rankers, 7 of them were mid rankers, and the rest were low ranking devils . Luckily the didn't sense me or I would have had to fight a losing battle .
Slowly getting closer I would able to hear their conversation .
Mid Devil - Boss are you sure it's here? None of us could find any clue of where the source of the problem could have gone .

Leader Devil - Yes it must be here, Naberius-sama and the Professor want whoever or whatever made the phenomenon to be brought to them as soon as possible . All of you fan out, and you 5 go and report the situation back at the manor .
All Low Ranking Devils - YES SIR!!!
Their conversation was short but was enough to cuz multiple thought to form in my head .
Yuu - [Naberius . . . Professor . . . . . Research . . . . !! Shit! I know what's going on I can't let those guys report what happened . But I also need these guys to show me where their boss is so I can confirm if my hunch is right!]
Leaving behind the bigger group of devils I follow the ones that were heading back to the manor . While still in stealth I followed them for 10 miles before I used Hawk-Eye to scout ahead . There I saw a big mansion a couple more miles ahead of us and decided that I don't need these guys anymore .
With the assistance of [Ground Shrink], [Coercion], and multiple [Void Slashes] those devils based on without even knowing what happened . Sending their corpses into the void I continued my mission .
Once I was about a couple meters from the mansion I felt a sudden jolt in my spine and stopped where I stood . Using all of my detection skill I was able to discover that a barrier was in front of me .
It was invisible but my skills were able to pick it up (thank god) . When I focused my appraisal on it I discovered that it was a surface detection barrier that would notify the barriers master whenever someone entered .
This was a pain in the ass, considering the fact that my knowledge of barriers was close to none . This discovery made me lose some hope but not all, with what the system told me it was not a strong barrier and there were some flaws in it I just had to find them .
After 30 minutes of circling around the premises, I discovered what I believed to be a way in . It was a draining tunnel that seemed to have not been used for a long time . Knowing this was my only discovery I looked up at the sky which had started to get dark and entered the tunnel .
----
It wasn't really well light in there so I had to rely on my senses to get by, I had already lost track of how much time I've been here but I continued to march on . Finally, while I was feeling the low ceiling texture I noticed the ceiling made an abrupt rise in height .
Releasing my spirit sense that I haven't used since I got here I sent it towards that ceiling . After a quick observation, I found out that it wasn't the whole ceiling but a small tunned that I can climb through . At the top of the tunnel was a secret door that leads to the inside of the mansion .
This tunnel I was currently in was probably an escape tunnel in case anything ever happened to the master of this place . Happy with my discover I made my way up .
When I first opened the secret door I peeked in through and found a dark and gloomy bedroom, but I saw that no one was their so I immediately opened the door and walked in .
However, against all my expectations, I heard a small whimper in the corner of the room . There the air slowly started to distort before I saw who made the winter .
She had a small body, short white hair in the form of a bob cut but 2 long bangs on the side of her face that passed her shoulder . On top of her head were a pair of cat ear, and her eyes were a nice shade of gold .
When I got closer she seemed to be shaking and her eyes had a look of fear in them . Her actions may not have been what I would have expected from a future hellcat but there was no doubt this was Koneko Toujou or Shirone Toujou right now but where was Kuroka?
