Lucy's face became green.

Alfonso felt a shiver in his back.

"What is this… I never feel something like this before" Thought Alfonso.

"This is bad" Said Carmine with a shivering voice.

"Alfonso run!" Shouted Lucy.

Alfonso used all his remaining power to get as far as he could!

He exited the cave at an insane pace.

However…

"This is bad; the feeling isn't going away…" Though Alfonso.

"S-S-Sir!"

*PUM*

Alfonso felt a force coming from behind him.

He couldn't evade it and was sent flying.

"Ugh!"

Alfonso landed in a luxury place.

"Huh? Alfonso, is that you?"

Alfonso looked up and saw a familiar face looking at him.

"Dante!? What are you doing here?" Asked Alfonso.

"That's my question, I was about to go to the reception when you came flying out of nowhere" Said Dante.

Alfonso had arrived at the feast room where everyone watched him during the hunt.

"This isn't the time for this, we have to run! Now!" Said Alfonso.

"What are you talki-"

"CARE!"

Alfonso grabbed Dante and both went sent flying to the back of the room.

Alfonso looked up and saw a shadow in from of him.

"Oh no…"

Alfonso looked at his side and saw that Dante was trembling.

"I-I-Its…"

Dante lifted his trembling hand to signal the shadow.

"Alfonso… you… no… both… we are dead" Said Dante.

"Sorry man…"

Every single cell on Alfonso's body was screaming in fear.

"We got us kill"

The shadow walked towards Alfonso until it revealed its true appearance.

It looked exactly like a human, but taller.

If Alfonso had to guess, he would say around 2.5 meters.

The man was covered in a black layer, he wasn't exactly wearing clothes, his body was engulfed in black flames.

His eyes were as black as the abyss and his black wings were huge.

"He is the pitch image of a demon in the catholic religion" Thought Alfonso.

The demon looked at Alfonso.

Despite Alfonso's sudden grown in soul power, he felt defenseless in front of this demon.

His death soul aura was tangible.

It wasn't a force but a tangible power.

"This isn't even an emperor powerhouse… this power…" Said Alfonso.

The demon looked at Alfonso and Dante who were trembling on the ground.

"Human" Said the demon.

The voice was deep and powerful.

Alfonso backed up.

"You are not bad, human"

"You are… very interesting…" Repeated the demon with a smile on his face.

He extended his hand and signaled at Alfonso's neck.

"That thing in your neck seem to acknowledge you as its master, it doesn't matter if I turn you into a corpse, it won't recognize me at its master, in fact, it could try to kill me, just as it did with that idiot Grindergan"

"But its too dangerous to let this power go away of my hands"

Alfonso looked at the eyes of the demon.

"How longer system!?"

[2:40 minutes, host]

"DAMN!" Though Alfonso.

"I will give you two choices, human"

"Die at my hands, like the ant you are"

"Or…"

The demon signaled at Dante.

"Kill him, and swear loyalty to me"

"Can I not kill him and made an oath of obedience to you?" Asked Alfonso.

"An oath to the lord of betrayal must be made with the blood of your commanders, that's how it works"

"The lord of betrayal…" Though Alfonso.

The lord of betrayal, quite the name…

Alfonso looked back at Dante and sighed.

"I am sorry, but I refuse to kill my friend" Said Alfonso.

"I see…" Said the lord.

"A shame"

The demon's eyes engulfed in black flames while his aura soar once more.

"STOP!"

A scream came from behind while Alfonso felt a wind passing through him.

"Carmine!?"

Carmine took Alfonso and Dante out of the place with incredible speed.

"Futile resistance" Said the demon.

"Not so fast"

The demon heard an annoying voice and turned around.

"Queen" Said the demon.

"This isn't your circle, what are you doing here?" Said Lucy.

"My subordinate just died by your hand and that's all you have to say?" Asked the demon.

"As is you ever give a damn about anyone" Said Lucy with a smile.

"I suppose you are right" Said the demon.

The demon looked in the direction where Carmine had run off with Alfonso and Dante.

"Are you trying to interfere, Lucy?"

"That guy is my and my sister-friend"

"He is under my protection" Said Lucy while her wings extended.

"Hoh… Now, this is getting ever more interesting…"

"I wonder what face would you make… if I rip that guy apart in front of you"

Lucy didn't say anything and stood in front of the demon, blocking his way.

"Lucy you sure haven't forgotten…"

The demon extender his eight black wings while his chilling aura extended, making everything that touches into nothingness.

"Which circle I am in charge of" Said the demon.

Lucy trembled a bit.

..........................................…..

Carmine was running at full speed with Alfonso and Dante on her shoulders.

"Carmine, who is he!?" Asked Alfonso.

"He is Beltimon" Said a voice near Alfonso.

Alfonso turned and saw that Dante was looking at him while his eyes were spinning.

"Beltimon?" Asked Alfonso.

"Alfonso, no matter which world you came from, you must have heard on his name" Said Dante.

"I don't have a memory of hearing his name thought" Said Alfonso.

"Strange…" Said Dante.

"He was venerated went I was in the land of the living, in those days, people believed that he could kill any god" Said Carmine.

"!"Alfonso was alarmed by this new information.

"He was the only one who could fight one on one with the supreme one" Said Carmine.

"The supreme one…" Said Alfonso.

"But how is he here!? He is supposed to be chained to the seven circle!" Said Dante.

*BOOM*!

Just as the trio was talking, a huge explosion sounded behind them.

Carmine fell for the recoil of the explosion.

"Ah!"

Alfonso and Dante also fell to the ground.

Alfonso lifted his head only to see the demon, no, Beltimon, looking at him.

"Lucy…" Said Alfonso.

Lucy had her wings broken and was being held by Beltimon.

"This is what happens when you try to fight an unwinnable fight" Said Beltimon.

He threw Lucy to one side.

"Now is your turn"

"Human"
