Alfonso and company went ahead towards the inner part of the jungle, the point where he and Carmine would meet each other.

Carmine already had a place in mind, so she told Alfonso to look for the snake's cave.

At first, Alfonso didn't understand what she meant, however, Carmine assured Alfonso that he would knew when he got there.

"I understood now what she meant, the snake's cave huh" Said Alfonso.

The entrance of the cave looked like a snake's mouth.

"In fact, this doesn't look like it was made by nature itself" Though Alfonso.

He entered the cave and saw that the entrance suddenly changed!

"Illusion" Said Cerberus.

"I didn't think that someone else had illusion powers apart from you, Cerberus" Said Alfonso.

"That's not quite right" Said Cerberus.

"What do you mean?" Asked Alfonso.

"My powers are inherited by my race, which means, everyone in my clan will, eventually, acquire a knowledge of the illusion power… but this… this is on another level on its own" Said Cerberus.

"Let's wait here, she should be coming soon" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso sat on the cave and take a good look at his body.

To his surprise he discovered something new.

"What is this…" Though Alfonso.

He felt the power of time on his body, more powerful and stable and powerful than ever!

However, that wasn't all.

"Someone is calling me…" Though Alfonso.

"No… not someone…"

"Something…"

The cane of time was tingling while Alfonso felt like the… thing that was calling him was near and near.

More like finding…

It felt more like a reencounter…

Like a loss friend…

"It's almost here…" Though Alfonso.

"Hmm?" Cerberus looked at Alfonso who was looking at the entrance of the cave.

"What is this…?" Said Cerberus.

"S-S-Sir…" Said Drakini.

"I know…" Said Alfonso.

Suddenly…

*PUM*!

An object when flying towards Alfonso and company!

"Ugh!"

"Carmine!" Shouted Alfonso.

The 'object' that pierced the cave was no other than Carmine!

"Carmine , are you okay!?" Asked Alfonso.

"Alfonso…" Said Cerberus while trembling

Alfonso looked up and saw a figure floating in the sky.

"You?" Said Alfonso.

...........................….

Let's go back a few hours ago, just as Carmine had finished her vow.

"What's going to happen in hell?"

She walked for some minutes, however, just as she was about to arrive to the cave. She stopped in place.

"I was wondering how much will I have to wait for you, you are finally here" Said Carmine with a laugh.

Behind her, a floating figure appeared covered in shadows.

"Quit the big boss play, both of us now that you are not more than a dog" Said Carmine.

"Ho? So this little slave is finally showing her fangs" Said the figure.

"Amadeus" Said Carmine.

Amadeus extended his four wings and descended to the ground, like a deity landing in the mortal world.

"Carmine, to think that you can escaped from my hands, who naïve can you be?" Asked Amadeus.

"For someone who is as weak as an ant, you sure have a lot to say" Said Carmine.

"Maybe I am as weak as you say…" Smiled Amadeus.

"But what about her?" Asked Amadeus.

Carmine looked up and saw a familiar figure floating above Amadeus.

"Sister…" Said Carmine.

"…" Lucy didn't answer.

"Carmine, you should that I can kill you with just a though" Said Amadeus while signaling his own neck.

Carmine touched her own as well, feeling the collar on her neck.

"However, that would only get myself killed, isn't that right? Lucy"

"…" Lucy didn't answer Amadeus provocation.

"So, let's do this the funny way"

Amadeus signaled Carmine.

"Lucy, crippled your sister" Said Amadeus.

"…" Lucy felt anger from the order, however, she didn't refuse.

"Are you going to disobey, Lucy?" Said Amadeus while signaling at the collar of Carmine.

"I…" Lucy was at loss of words.

"Bastard…" Said Carmine.

Amadeus looked at Carmine and smiled.

"You know what, I changed my mind, Lucy, if you want me to forgive your sister, you have to kneel in front of me" Said Amadeus.

"You fucking bastard!" Shouted Carmine.

She was prepared to kill Amadeus, however, she felt a strong pressure coming to her, making her kneel on the ground.

"Sis…ter" Said Carmine.

Lucy descended to the ground and kneel on the ground in front of Amadeus.

"Please forgive this foolish me" Said Amadeus.

"Please forgive this foolish me" Repeated Lucy.

Amadeus was pleased, he lifted his foot and put it on Lucy's head.

"Hahaha" Amadeus laughed with pleasure.

"Lucy, you are indeed a disgrace to hell!" Shouted Amadeus.

"Hoho, it seems that this little dog has learned a few things from his master"

Suddenly, a chilling voice interrupted Amadeus who froze in a second.

"What is he doing here!?" Though Amadeus.

In an instant, Amadeus stopped his actions and kneeled on the ground.

"Amadeus, it seems that you are enjoying yourself"

"I-I-I wouldn't dare… your majesty" Said Amadeus.

"Someone tip me that you had some information about this~" Said the demon while signaling a black pendulum in his neck.

"Your humble servant wouldn't dare…" Said Amadeus.

"Hooo~"

The demon had a four black wings and a thin figure. His body was covered in a red shadow and his smile was pronounced.

His eyes were as black as the night and his aura was heavy.

"You know, its funny because, to me, it seems that, despite my being the master, my dog has been acting like the boss, you don't think that is funny?" Said the man.

He turned and saw Lucy, who was looking at him with hate in her eyes.

"Well, well, who do we have here, isn't it the queen of the night in person, how long has it been since we last saw each other Lucy?" Asked the man.

"It hasn't been so long; I remember I stamped your face to the ground just a few centuries ago" Said Lucy with a smile.

"Haha, well, well, I remember that, however, who is the one kneeling in the ground now?" Said the man.

"Grindergan, its quite amazing how shameful can you be, you are borrowing power of a curse item, your 'power' it's not yours, it just borrowed" Said Lucy.

The man, no, Grindergan, smiled and walked towards Lucy.

"Lucy, you are beautiful as you are insufferable"
