{Nargia Town: Hero Academy}

Luxana arrived early at their previous school to see feitan but she didn't see him. So she thought of going to the forest where he often went. Luxana shouted feitan's name and suddenly stopped when she saw feitan that walking alone towards a stream. She followed it quietly but feitan immediately felt that someone was following him so when he turned around on his back Luxana suddenly hid in a tree to not be caught. Later on she peeked again and she saw that feitan was gone where she last saw it. So she went out and looked for a long time but it was gone and suddenly someone touched her behind and then Luxana turned around in surprise and a branch of tree hit to the one who touch her in great nervousness. When she saw feitan she immediately apologized and helped Feitan stand up.

"F-feitan!!,are you alright? sorry if i hit you!"Luxana shocked said.

"It's alright,im fine"Feitan calm reply.

"That's good"Luxana say.

"By the way,what are you doing here?"Feitan asked.

"Uhh,im just here to ventilating, because the air here is nice"Feitan answered.

"Yeahh,that's right"Feitan reply.

"I just noticed,why do you seem to come here so often?"Luxana asked.

"It's because this place is the only place were I can think well and a place where i can practice well"Feitan answered.

"You got a good place"Luxana reply.

They took a walk to the creek to rest and talk a little. On the other side of the forest there was a young man like Feitan who also had a monster inside.

{Teresa Forest: RiverSide}

[Darth's Mind]

["What are we doing in the Town of Nargia, Is something important going to happen here?"]Darth asked.

["Don't worry you won't be bored to what we gonna witness here"]Demuirge answered.

(The Second Demon who was one of rikuo's sibling and inherited the power of their father)

{Teresa Forest: RiverFront}

"let's go home luxana, the night will catch up with us here"Feitan suggest.

"Alright!"Luxana reply.

{Teresa Forest:RiverSide}

[Darth's Mind]

["For a moment Darth, I feel a familiar energy"]Demuirge said.

["What is it??"]Darth asked.

["Head straight, because that's where I feel that weird energy"]Demuirge answered.

["Alright!!"]Darth said.

Darth immediately went to Demiurge's said path. When they arrived they saw a woman and it was Luxana who was waiting for Feitan because she just did something.

["Is that the woman, wherein the energy you say comes from?"]Darth asked.

["The energy is still here but i can't feel it to that woman"]Demuirge reply.

["Then let's ask this woman"]Darth suggested.

That's why they quickly Darth approached Luxana.

"You!!"Darth shouts.

luxana turned her head to the one who call her and she suddenly felt nervous so she suddenly ran to where Feitan went but Darth stopped her.

Because he used Demiurge's power called "Abyss Hands" that come out of the ground and pull Luxana towards him.

"W-who are you??, somebody help me!!"Luxana shouting say.

Everyone who sees Darth's face and his power they kill without hesitate so Darth draws a sword of darkness as if he going to stab Luxana.

"F-Feitan!!"Luxana shouts.

When Luxana shouted. Feitan heard it and suddenly darkness enveloped him and immediately ran towards Luxana. Darth was about to stab the sword when the atmosphere suddenly become darkened and Luxana disappeared in front of Darth at the same time Darth was push away.

[Darth's Mind]

["This energy, I can't go wrong"]Demuirge shocked said.

["Why? do you know the user of this power"]Darth asked.

["My father had this power, but he passed away a long time ago so who attacked us"]Demuirge answered.

(The black smoke disappeared from the atmosphere and they saw their attacker covered in black energy and reddened eyes)

"So you were the one who attack us, Demiurge, let's start!!"Darth suggested.

Darth changed form due to Demiurge's power. Darth chased Feitan but Feitan immediately escaped and lifted Luxana to safety place.

"You gonna run away!!"Darth shouts.

Before Feitan could run. he let out a strong black smoke that was different from the one he had released before. Darth couldn't see anything and he couldn't feel Feitan's energy either.

{Darth's Mind]

["Annoying!!"Darth angrily said.

(Demuirge suddenly remembered what his fifth brother had done as feitan had done so he realized who they were facing and he felt power)

["We better wait for it to disappear before we attack"]Demuirge suggested.

["Alright!"]Darth say.

When the smoke cleared. Darth immediately felt the overflowing power in front of him. He saw feitan with a strange form. Feitan was surrounded by a huge black smoke that could make anyone who touched it unconscious. But Demiurge also inherited their father's power so Darth's body wouldn't hurt from those around Feitan.

[Feitan's Mind]

["Rikuo, I want to use your power, this time I will make sure I can!"]Feitan suggested.

["Sure, if that's what you wanted"]Rikuo answered.

Feitan started releasing a mixture of purple and black which caused forest destruction.

[Darth's Mind]

["This energy, it can't be!?"]Demuirge nervous said.

["Why?,is it bad"Darth asked.

And demuirge remember what Daeva's said to them that 'Don't let Rikuo release his power fully, when you notice that he is gradually releasing a combination of purple and black energy, attack him immediately, because that will cause destruction of the world and of Rikuo's life'.

["Darth,attack him!!"]Demuirge suggested.

["How can I do that, my body cannot handle it, maybe i spit out!!"]Darth reply.

Feitan releases too much energy coming from Rikuo's power and strong wind blows on the trees causing them to be cut down and damaged.

["There's nothing I can do, Darth calm yourself down!"]Demuirge said.

["Im gonna spit out when I do that"]Darth say.

["I'll take care of it, just do it!"]Demuirge reply.

Darth took a deep breath and calmed down. When the wind hit him. Demiurge suddenly awake at Darth's body and attacked Feitan but he didn't see anything he could pass through because when he stick this energy. Feitan would know he is there and may know what he is planning.

{Nargia Town:9th Office}

"Lord ninth!, we saw strange smoke in the Teresa Forest. we cannot able to get there because of the trees and the strong wind"3rd rank hero report.

"Is that so,then let's go!"Daiki suggested.

"I will come,too"El reply.

They immediately went to the said place to witness what was happening.

{Teresa Forest}

Demiurge think of attacking on top of feitan. So he immediately jump from the top of Feitan but in unexpected.feitan was looking at him and when he pointed his arm at Demiurge a black magic went straight to Demiurge which caused Darth's right arm to be amputated. Demiurge didn't avoid that immediately because Fetan's power status was different. The black magical arm grew on Darth's right body. Darth and Demiurge changed the situation. it fell and fainted While Feitan continued to release very strong energy.

[Feitan's Mind]

["Feitan,let's stop this for now because the state of my body is changing, maybe my unlock power will awake"]Rikuo suggested.

["Alright,since i manage to control a little of your power"]Feitan answered.

When Daiki and El arrived at the place. the force of the wind gradually subsided and the strange energy disappeared. Feitan approached the unconscious Darth and touched his chest and emitted black smoke comparable to healing but this one is unique because it can revive and return used magic. After Feitan's healing Darth's lost arm returned and Darth regained consciousness.

"H-huh, what happened?"Darth said.

Darth stood up and met feitan.

"I am Darth Cowen the vessel of the second demon Demiurge Azaroth!"Darth prelude.

"Nice meeting you,my name is Feitan Ellfire,the vessel of fifth demon Rikuo Azaroth!"Feitan reply.

"Nice meeting you too, goodbye feitan!"Darth Farewell.

After Darth left. Daiki and El with other heroes arrived behind Feitan.He looked back and El greeted him with a father's tight hug.

"Are you alright,feitan?"El asked.

Feitan could not speak because of El's tight embrace.

"I was okay before but now it looks like you're going to kill me, mentor!!"Feitan said.

"Sorry i'm just worried"El answered.

They immediately returned to their hometown with Luxana unconscious.
