‎”Kyros… Revenor?” Aris turned to look at Rasmus with a confused look on her face. She watched Satan stare into Rasmus’ eyes, and yet she called him by a different name.

‎Satan chuckled as she glanced at Aris and Rullein who looked so confused. She slowly moved her gaze toward Rasmus, using the opportunity to reveal his real identity, a man from a previous world. However, she didn’t see any reaction from Rasmus, and she had expected it since she had been observing him back when he was still on Earth.

‎”A secret will be revealed one day, and unfortunately that day is today,” Satan smiled, cupping her cheek with her left hand. “Rasmus Blackheart is his new name, his old name was Kyros Revenor, a man that lived from a previous world,” she revealed as she stared at Aris and Rullein.

‎Rasmus suddenly smiled as Videl dashed past Satan and his sword had been coated with immense Aura. Satan was surprised that she wasn’t the only one who had regained her power. When she looked over her shoulder, she saw Videl with his sword as all the Fallen Watchers heads got separated from their bodies.

‎”This is a battlefield, not a meeting hall,” Rasmus turned Mana in his body into Aura and gathered more Mana to electrify and heat his muscles and nerves. “You chose the wrong time and place to have a conversation…” He muttered as he forced his heart to beat rapidly, making things move so slowly.

‎Satan felt threatened by the Aura that Rasmus emitted, more threatening than when she fought Aris and Rullein. When she could barely move her pupils to look at Rasmus, a blade was right below her chin, ready to decapitate her. She used her power to freeze time and saw the blade had cut her neck a tiny bit.

‎”You just made the wrong move…” Videl chuckled. “You have wasted your ability. Now you can’t use that power anymore,” he swung his sword at Satan, trying to cut off her wings.

‎Satan sighed and when Videl cut Satan’s wings, it felt like air and revealed that Satan had disappeared and reappeared in the sky. Videl clicked his tongue, realizing that was his only chance to beat Satan to a pulp if only he used his true energy, but that would only reveal his identity because once he unleashed it, he wouldn’t be able to hide it anymore.

‎The time began to flow again, and Rasmus was taken aback when Satan suddenly disappeared right before his eyes. He experienced it first-hand, and it was disturbing to see that a being was capable of stopping time. He looked up at Satan, but this time her expression was completely different than before. Her cold gaze made his heart clenched and the way she stared at him was like someone who had no other reason but to kill.

‎Satan released her energy, a thick blood red Aura around her body. The world felt like being crushed by the sky, even the demons and the Fallen Watchers collapsed to all-four. She opened another portal from the sky, but this time, it was horrifying that even Videl couldn’t believe it. The screams of pain and suffering, the immense heat that melted skin and flesh in an instant, the same atmosphere that Rasmus had felt before.

‎”She opened the gate of hell…” Videl’s eyes glowed red, unable to resist the place where he belonged. “She’s going to borrow the power from it. I can’t stop her because Hell is currently under her authority and I can’t control my power with my current state…” He groaned as he pressed his hand against his forehead, trying to prevent his horns from coming out.

‎”I’ll tell you both everything, but for now, we have to fight,” Rasmus said without having to look at Aris and Rullein. “I’ll use the Overlord’s power…” He stared at Satan with a cold and serious expression.

‎Aris and Rullein nodded and the three of them used their true energy. Rullein with her dragon energy, Aris with her Aristoria’s bloodline energy, and Rasmus with the Overlord’s energy coated their bodies and flew toward Satan.

‎A droplet of what it looked like blood fell from the gate of hell and reached Satan’s fingertip. The moment the droplet got absorbed, the sky became clear without a single cloud could be seen. Suddenly the whole sky turned red and the heavy pressure made everyone flat on the ground, unable to even lift their fingers.

‎Rasmus, Aris, and Rullein swung their swords at Satan with all their might. Satan didn’t bother to dodge or block it when they all hit her body. Aristoria’s sword, Rullein’s energy, and Rasmus’ Overlord’s power couldn’t even cut her skin. The three of them were shocked, and they felt imminent danger that threatened their lives. However, Satan didn’t even move a muscle and just kept staring into Rasmus’ eyes.

‎There were no words, nothing, until suddenly Satan’s dark red energy was released from her feet. The energy looked like an entangled root that had reached the ground. The Fallen Watchers that Videl had eliminated suddenly reanimated.

‎Rasmus, Aris, and Rullein chose to back away because they weren’t fools to fight against a being that couldn’t even get a scratch from the three powerful energies in Neva. They landed right beside Videl, wanting to know what was happening.

‎”I should have known. She borrows the power not for herself, she borrows the power from Hell to give those fallen all their power back…” Videl glanced at the Fallen Watchers that had regained their true form, their purest and original forms. “This is getting a lot more complicated, Rasmus,” he warned, watching as the Fallen Watchers began to grow halo over their heads and their skin turned ashen with glowing golden light in their veins.

‎”Has she grown stronger? I can’t tell,” Rasmus asked as he couldn’t keep his eyes away from Satan.

The red sky, the horrifying screams of the tortured souls that echoed throughout the sky, and the extreme heat that could melt steel in a matter of seconds, they suddenly disappeared. At that moment the sky had turned into a void, no stars, no clouds, nothing, not even the two moons existed as if the sky had disappeared after Satan closed the gate of hell.

“No, it’s quite the opposite. Right now Satan has received the causality of borrowing power that was beyond her authority. She’s in her weakened state, her most vulnerable state the universe could ever offered to us the chance,” Videl answered and watched Satan descend with the help of the Fallen Watchers who held her hands and hands with care.

Rasmus could see how Satan could barely use her power to float, and he saw her wings folded and retracted into her back. He wondered why Satan would rather give the power she borrowed to the Fallen Watchers rather than for herself. From his short encounter with Satan, he felt a bit unnerved by her because she felt like an enigma, something he couldn’t understand at all.

“How strong are the Fallen Watchers now that they have regained all their power?” Rasmus asked.

“Individually, they’re just right below Satan’s power during her fight with Aris and Rullein before. With that being said, they’re a bit weaker than I am, but there are hundreds of them right now,” Videl answered and saw Satan pressed her feet on the ground while the Fallen Watchers kneeled in front of her, giving their utmost gratitude for sacrificing herself to give their power back.

Rasmus, Aris, and Rullein narrowed their eyes as they watched the Fallen Watchers bow to Satan, reaching their hands to her. At that moment, Rasmus saw how the Fallen Watchers treated her like their savior, and it looked a bit disturbing because he had never seen higher beings act like that.

The Fallen Watchers slowly stood up, standing beside Satan like she was the center of the mass. All of them were staring at Rasmus, Videl, Aris, and Rullein with those glowing red eyes and the faces that were hidden underneath the masks they wore. However, they all spread their wings, showing off their power that they had long forgotten.

“You’re correct,” Satan spoke, her voice soft and quiet. “This is a battlefield, and there’s no need for us to converse,” she slowly raised her head and stared right into Rasmus’ eyes. “Thank you, for reminding me,” she smiled weakly as she pointed her hand at the humans in the far back near the fourth wall, the only wall that still stood tall.

All the Fallen Watchers and the demons spread their wings and flew toward Lenin and the others. However, Rasmus, Videl, Aris, and Rullein swung their swords, releasing a unified slashwave that was enough to push back dozens of Fallen Watchers. Rullein finally showed her true form, revealing her full power for the first time. A colossal shadow being with massive dragon wings and glowing dark orange eyes stared down at the Fallen Watchers like pests to eliminate.

Rasmus’ body released a cold mist and slowly his body was coated with an ice armor. His eyes began to glow grayish blue as the temperature rapidly went lower and lower until the ground was coated with ice. For the first time in his life, he felt his heart stop beating and he saw everything move extremely slowly like time had almost stopped.

On the other hand, Aris used her Aristoria’s bloodline power again as her hair slowly changed its color to light blue. Her whole eyes glowed bright blue and suddenly the armor she wore and the sword she held, they both reacted to her power, making the engravings glow bright light blue.

“Be careful…” A familiar voice could be heard behind Aris. “Don’t let the power consume you, control it and you’ll achieve far greater than what we are predetermined with,” Aristoria muttered.

“How?” Aris glanced and saw Aristoria standing beside her like a translucent shadow.

“I’ll guide you. We will fight this together,” Aristoria looked at Aris and smiled at her.
