Gabriel was worried that Ezekiel's appearance could scare the people. However, before he could say anything, the young devil had left. It was also impossible for him to catch up to Ezekiel.
By the time Gabriel reached the nearest city, Ezekiel was already standing in the middle of the City, curiously looking at the surroundings.
Just as Gabriel expected, the humans in that area were scared immediately from the man's appearance. Not only did the man have horns coming out of his head, but he also had pitch black eyes that appeared like they could devour a person with just one glance.
His sudden appearance was so scary that the humans started running, trying to get as far away from the Devil as possible. Everyone looked to get to a safe place and to hide.
Gabriel landed next to Ezekiel, letting out a sigh.
Ezekiel asked, frowning. "Why is everyone running?"
With how loud these people were, his heightened hearing sensation became an even bigger curse for him. He couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Before Gabriel could even answer, Ezekiel had had enough. He tapped his foot lightly in the group.
The entire town was covered in an abyss-like domain, trapping all the humans inside.
Not only were the humans frozen where they were, but they also couldn't speak or make any movement. They couldn't even move their pupils, as if they were frozen in time.
Ezekiel rubbed his ears, feeling much better now that everyone was silent and no one was screaming.
"Much better." He commented, before glancing at Gabriel and asking, "Yeah, you were saying something?"
Gabriel couldn't help but facepalm himself. He held Ezekiel's hands and flew away, dragging the devil with him.
The devil appeared confused but he didn't resist since he didn't feel threatened. "What are you doing?"
"We are going to a different city. This one is no good now. Also, before we enter the next City, you need to disguise yourself," Gabriel explained. "How did you expect them to react after seeing your horns and your eyes?"
"My horns and eyes? What's wrong with them?" The Devil asked in confusion. It was as if it was the first time he received this reaction.
Gabriel couldn't help but shake his head. "Humans are mentally weak. They are often scared of what they don't understand. You appear different from them, which scared them. If I'm not wrong, in this world, there isn't any being with horns or those eyes. So it's better if you disguise yourself to fit in with them."
Even though Ezekiel didn't understand what Gabriel was saying, but he nodded. Gabriel was supposed to know more about this since he lived outside the abyss after all.
The Devil closed his eyes. To Gabriel's surprise, when he opened his eyes again, they appeared to be similar to Gabriel's eyes in color. His eyes finally appeared normal.
Not just that, but his horns also disappeared. Even though Gabriel could still feel that they weren't gone. It was just that no one could see them anymore because of the powerful Illusion cast by Ezekiel.
Since Ezekiel didn't have any aura around him, he appeared like an ordinary human entirely.
"Is it better?" He asked Gabriel.
"Much better. We should get a better reaction now. However, one more thing. I'm not sure if the people in this world can use the Elements or any supernatural powers. That's why, we should avoid using that, for as long as you want to experience what humans are like now."
The Devil nodded once again. For just one day, he wanted to experience how much humans had changed. He wanted to experience all that he had missed.
This time, Gabriel landed as they reached near the next City. Instead of flying inside and landing right at the center of the City, he and Ezekiel passed through the main entrance.
This time, Ezekiel didn't attract a similar reaction like before. There were no people who were running away from him, screaming. Everything appeared quite normal.
Walking through the streets next to Gabriel, he could see ordinary people. Some were walking, as if they were in a hurry to get to their work. Others were selling items on the streets.
There were also many kids nearby, playing with each other. It was an ordinary human city with no traces of magic like Gabriel expected.
Ezekiel stopped before a street vendor who was selling bitter gourds. He picked it up, taking a bite.
It had been so long since he ate something. In the Abyss, there was nothing to eat. If he wasn't immortal, he would've died from hunger a long time ago in the Abyss.
After that experience, it was his first time tasting something.
However, as soon as he took a bite, he spat it on the ground.
"It is bitter!" He complained to Gabriel, before glaring at the vendor. "You dare use poison?!"
Fortunately, Gabriel was right next to him. He stepped before Ezekiel, stopping him on time before he could have destroyed the soul and body of the vendor in front of him!
"That's not poisonous. Calm down. That's a fruit which is supposed to be bitter. Here, try this." Gabriel in his haste picked up an ordinary and sweet fruit, giving it to Ezekiel to calm him down.
Meanwhile the vendor looked at the two people as if he was looking at a group of crazies.
"That's one Silver Coin!" He frowned, asking for money for the fruits.
Unfortunately for him, even Gabriel didn't have any money, at least not the currency of this world. However, instead of that, he did have many treasures.
He brought out a precious necklace that he had picked up somewhere, placing it on the table. "Give us the currency of this place in exchange for this. You can deduct one silver."
The Vendor looked at Gabriel even weirdly. From Gabriel's words, he felt that these people were from foreign and didn't know anything about this place. This made him feel as if he could really fool them.
"This... This is barely worth one silver. However, being a kind person, I'll let you go!" He took the precious necklace, keeping it in his pocket. "Now scram!"
