He creates a large Will-O-The Wisp of soft white light and sends it above the park, bathing the park in a strange silvery-white light devoid of strong shadows. Then he walks further through the park after bandaging a medium sized gash on his leg. The soldier alongside him shifts uncomfortably in the armor.
"What the hell was that?"
"It was apparently a demon, I should know, having made a contract with them 5 years ago. These illusionary powers don't come for free, after all, the devil is the master of deception. The exchange of the souls of those villagers was supposed to not only give me the power, but also to act as a buffer against and demonic interlopers. But since when is the devil known to reliably honor every part of his contract?"
He pauses.
"In my experience, although the main tenets of a contract from below will be honored, minor details of additive parts of the contract are often broken. Perhaps as a way of saying that the contract needs to be renewed. That girl, she can serve as an excellent sacrifice should I get her."
The soldier, "A demon..."
"Don't be so apalled. Demons power everything in Niebel. Niebel used to be called the mouth of the Underworld. It's not something physical, well in most places. But demons, mostly minor ones, tend to emerge through trandimesional gates located in the region, and well, the local citizens learned to survive, first by making pacts from below, but later, the Helmians figured out they could kill them and the extract their souls. And use it as a power source. Your armor, for example, and your weapons, are powered by demons."
He pauses.
"Or what's left after their physical body has been annihilated. Well, let's get out of here before the demon finds another clever way around my defenses."
