TAEIL AND SUNGGYU EXCHANGED looks and nodded their heads. Taeil went back to his brothers at the bleachers and hugged them back while they continued to congratulate his excellent victory.

     "Next contender, Prince of Wrath." The voice declared, and Sunggyu summoned his weapon. But before anything could happen, the odd voice announced another contender, making Sunggyu and the Demons confused, "and Prince of Envy."

     "Well, that's odd." Hyunseung said, and Jiyong added, "Maybe he wants to finish the 6 battles already."

     "Maybe," Jackson commented. But before he could join Sunggyu at the battleground, Taeil went towards his best friend, "Are you feeling okay?" Taeil whispered, and Jackson just smiled and nodded his head and went towards the battleground to join their leader, Sunggyu.

     "Getting restless?" Sunggyu asked with a smirk on his face as he looked at the Sinner who seems to be doing the same thing.

     "I'm not the observer type when it comes to fights, and I already want to fuck up your last half-blood." Bobby said as he purposely looked at Jiyong. This made Jiyong's blood boil to the point where he could just run towards the Sinner and kill him then and there.

     "Don't do anything rash Jiyong." Hyunseung said as he grabbed Jiyong's shoulder, and Taeil added, "We have a plan to follow."

     Jiyong just took a deep breath and nodded.

     "I will be the one to fuck you up once I fight you," Jiyong declared as he looked at the Sinner.

     "So how will you make this interesting this time?" Sunggyu then asked, and Bobby smiled and answered, "With this." The Sinner snapped his fingers, and suddenly, the battleground was being filled with water. Small platforms were appearing, and then 10 ghouls with wings appeared.

     "Ghouls with wings?" Minhyuk asked, shock present in his voice.

     "Well, that's new." Hyunseung added.

     "Impressed?" Bobby asked, confidence radiating from his voice. Sunggyu just looked at Jackson and both shared a smile. They looked back at the Sinner, then Sunggyu smirked and answered, "Not so much."

     Bobby just smiled and ordered the flying ghouls to attack.

     "We need to split up and decrease their numbers," Sunggyu ordered, and Jackson nodded in understanding.

     Sunggyu jumped to the left side of the water-filled arena. Jackson summoned his weapon, jumped at one of the flying ghouls, and pierced the ghoul's head with his claw-like gloves. On the other hand, Sunggyu slashed the heads of two of the flying ghouls that went towards him head-on.

     "Seven more to go," Sunggyu said as he jumped to another small platform while flying ghouls flew towards him.

     Jackson quickly chased the flying ghoul and punched one of the flying ghoul's head. Jackson landed on the same platform where Sunggyu was standing.

     "Make that six," Jackson stated with a smile.

     "We need to finish this up since we still need to plan for our big fight with the King of Hell," Sunggyu whispered, and Jackson nodded. With that, Sunggyu and Jackson separated from each other again and took on the remaining six flying ghouls.

     Sunggyu sliced one of the ghoul's head, and another flying ghoul went towards him. Sunggyu dodged the petty attack, but what he didn't know was that the flying ghoul was not after him, but his brother Jackson who was actually busy dodging another flying ghoul's attack.

    "Jackson!" Sunggyu warned, but before Jackson could see the flying ghoul, he was already knocked over by it, making Jackson fall on the water.

     "Shit." Sunggyu cursed as he went towards Jackson, diving into the water to save him.

     "Fuck, this is bad," Taeil said as he looked at the event that was currently happening.

     "Why? Jackson can swim right?" Minhyuk asked, and Taeil answered, "Yeah he can swim, but that's not what I'm worried about."

     "Then what is?" Suho asked, and Taeil continued "His concentration. If he loses concentration now, this will put us in a disadvantage," when Taeil explained the situation, the remaining Demons looked at the spot where Jackson and Sunggyu were.

     Sunggyu swam towards Jackson and pulled him up to the surface. The two went to a platform that was quite far from the flying ghouls who were still flying above the spot where he and Jackson fell from.

     "Jackson," Sunggyu called out as he shook Jackson's body. Then Jackson opened his eyes and coughed the water out.

     Sunggyu sighed in relief.

     "Damn I thought you were knocked out," Sunggyu said as he stood up and helped Jackson stand up as well.

     "I wasn't. I was just focusing on the important task at hand." As Jackson said that, Sunggyu looked at his mark. Jackson pulled Sunggyu and they both jumped to another platform as the once distracted flying ghouls saw their prey.

     "Let's end this." Sunggyu declared as he summoned his weapon once again. And Jackson nodded and did the same. The two ran towards the six flying ghouls who were also flying towards them.

    "I'll go high, you go low," Sunggyu said, and Jackson followed.

     Sunggyu jumped on one of the flying ghouls and slashed his head. While Jackson grabbed one of the flying ghoul's leg, pulled it towards him, and pierced through its head right after.

     "Wow, their teamwork is amazing," Hyunseung said in awe as he kept on watching Sunggyu and Jackson attack the remaining ghouls.

     "You said it." Minhyuk agreed, watching as the two Demons slaughtered the last flying ghoul.

     "Winner, Prince of Wrath and Prince of Envy." The odd voice declared, and the water vanished, and the Sinner clapped his hands again.

     "Well, I never thought you'll pull through." Bobby sarcastically said, only annoying Sunggyu and Jackson who was panting heavily.

     "Now for the final battle," Bobby stated.

     Sunggyu and Jackson went back to the bleachers while panting heavily. Jiyong took a deep breath and went down to the battleground right after. Sunggyu and Jackson were walking in front of him, so Sunggyu whispered something and Jiyong nodded as an answer. 

     "Good luck Jiyong."

     The two went to join their brothers at the bleachers.

     "Final contender, Prince of Pride." The odd voice declared as Jiyong steps foot on the battleground. The Sinner looked at Jiyong, and then he jumped from where he was and landed in front of him.

     "Ready half-blood?" Bobby said confidently, and Jiyong summoned his weapon and looked at the Sinner with the same confidence, "You bet I am."

     Without any warning, the sinner ran towards Jiyong and punched him, but before the punch could make contact with Jiyong's face, Jiyong blocked the attack using his two wedge spear.

     "Not using any weapons?" Jiyong asked as he pushed the Sinner off his weapon.

     "I don't need those. I got my strength that I can rely on." Bobby said confidently, and in a swift movement, he was right behind Jiyong, "And also my speed." But due to Jiyong's fast reaction time, Jiyong dodged the Sinner's attack and swiped his weapon, making contact with the Sinner's hand.

     "Thought I was weak?" Bobby asked as he grabbed hold of Jiyong's weapon and threw it and Jiyong with it.

     "Fuck." Jiyong cursed as he stood up using his weapon as support.

     "Come on half-blood. That's all you've got?" the Sinner taunted, and Jiyong just smirked and said, "I'm just getting started." Then Jiyong vanished, surprising the Sinner. Bobby kept on searching for Jiyong, but when he turned his head, Jiyong's fist appeared right in front of him, punching Bobby right on his face.

     "Damn that hurts," Jiyong said as he flicks his wrist because of the pain.

     "How did you-" the Sinner said in confusion as he wiped the blood off his mouth.

     "Why? Thought I was weak?" Jiyong asked using the exact same sentence that the Sinner said to him earlier.

     "Seems like the Sinner is getting confused." Hyunseung pointed out.

     "That means the plan is working." Taeil said as he watched Jiyong punch Bobby again.

     Jiyong continued to effortlessly fight the Sinner. As he was fighting him, Jiyong glanced at the bleachers and saw Sunggyu. Then he remembered what their leader told him before they started the battle, "Follow the plan. Make him feel that he's winning. And when he's being too confident, beat the shit out of him."

    And so Jiyong did.

    The Sinner kept on blocking and dodging while Jiyong was attacking with full force. And in every attack that Jiyong released, it hits the Sinner in places that made him weaker.

    "You dare battle the strongest prince in Hell?!" Jiyong shouted, and Jackson finally released the glamouring on Jiyong. Bobby widened his eyes at the sight of the prince. It revealed his red eyes and dark aura, then he raised his weapon to kill the Sinner.

    "You broke the conditions!" Bobby shouted, and before the attack could make contact with him, Bobby moved away from the attack. He quickly teleported himself back to the balustrade where 'Akira' - his supposed ghoul was.

    "You know what will happen to you when you break the conditions." Bobby stated, then he looked at the Demons one by one and said the command that would kill them, "adolebitque".

     But nothing happened.

    "What? Why are you still alive?!" Bobby screamed as he saw the Demons still standing.

     "Adolebitque."

     "Adolebitque."

     "Adolebitque."

     "Adolebitque!" the Sinner kept repeating the words, but still, nothing was happening.

    "Why Bobby, things aren't going according to your plan?" Hyunseung asked as he and the rest of the Demons transformed into their Demonic form, shocking the sinner.

    Bobby was about to order his ghoul but was even more surprised when he saw Kharon III and the Souls of Lucifer behind him instead of Akira Mado. Before the Sinner could say anything, Kharon III kicked him out of the balustrade, and the Sinner fell in front of the Demons.

     "Guess you're not that clever after all...kid," Sunggyu said as he showed him his markless hand, and Kharon III showered the ashes of the marks the Demons skinned from their hands into the ground, making the Sinner even more confused.

    "Now its time for you to die." Jiyong declared. But before he could even raise his weapon, the Sinner started laughing.

    "The fucks wrong with this guy?" Suho asked, confused.

    "So Akira was right, something like this DID happen," Bobby said as he stood up. But this time, he was being surrounded by a dark aura that was similar to the Demon's own aura. The Sinner disintegrated the body he was using and transformed himself into his true form, shocking everyone.

    The demon looked like a ghoul, but he harder skin that looked like armor, and he was bigger. 

    "The fuck is that?!" Minhyuk asked, and suddenly Kharon III and the Souls of Lucifer were in front of the Demons.

    "My Princes, you need to stay back." Junsu warned.

    "This is the Sinner's true demonic form." Jaejoong added, and Yoochun nodded to confirm it.

    "What's the game plan?" Suho asked as he summoned his weapon, and the rest of the Demons did the same.

    "We'll just weaken him so we could give Jiyong a good chance to kill him," Taeil instructed

     "I won't let you kill me that easily." The Sinner, originally named Azazel, stated. Then he summoned the remaining ghouls he had. Some were on the ground while some were flying.

    "Shit, this is becoming a drag." Jackson whined as he readied himself to the fight that will take place.

    "We need to split up. Hyunseung, Minhyuk, Suho and Taeil," Sunggyu called out, "Kill the ghouls with Kharon." The five Demons nodded, and without wasting time, they ran towards the army of ghouls.

    "Jackson and Jiyong, we'll fight the Sinner." The two nodded, and Sunggyu looked at the Souls of Lucifer. "We need your help as well." Sunggyu said, and the Souls of Lucifer just nodded.

    The 6 demons went to where the Sinner was and started attacking. Kharon burned some of the flying ghouls, while the 4 Princes of Hell summoned their weapons and used their Demonic powers that were somehow similar to Lucifer.

    Hyunseung, with the use of his Audible Inundation, made the ghouls listen to moans of pleasure, making them stop moving and be in a daze. Then Hyunseung sliced the heads of the dazed ghouls in one powerful swipe.

    Minhyuk used his Life Draining and Soul Absorption to drain the ghoul's energy and powers, making him even more powerful. And with the use of his sword, he beheaded every ghoul he absorbed and just continued the process.

     Suho used his Psychic Reflection where he overloaded the ghoul's mind with the previous orders the Sinner said to them through his Knowledge Absorption, making the ghouls moan in pain, and Suho took the opportunity to smash the ghouls head.

    And for Taeil, he used his power Luring and commanded some ghouls to fight their own kind and kill the ghouls that weren't in his control.

    Everything was going so smoothly when suddenly a flying ghoul went to Minhyuk and stabbed his shoulder.

    "Fuck!" Minhyuk cursed, slicing the ghoul who stabbed him. Hyunseung saw this and stopped what he as doing and went to his wounded best friend.

    "Minhyuk, are you okay?" Hyunseung asked as he killed some ghouls that were coming towards Minhyuk.

    "Yeah I am, just a little wounded, but nothing serious." Minhyuk said as he stabbed the ghoul that was sneaking behind Hyunseung.

    "We need to end this!" Suho shouted. The four Demons went to the bleachers and Kharon III followed behind them.

    "Prince Taeil, lure them towards us," Kharon ordered, and Taeil followed. Kharon and the remaining three Demons produced fire, and every ghoul that Taeil lured towards the raging fire was burned into ashes. As for the flying ghouls, Kharon blasted fireballs on their wings, making them fall to the ground.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

    "You're too weak. You can't even land an attack on me." Azazel stated, making Sunggyu, Jackson, and Jiyong frustrated.

    "This Sinner is so irritating," Jackson stated as he tried to punch the Sinner back, but the Sinner dodged the attack and kicked Jackson on his back.

     "Focus Prince Jackson, we can't let you lose your composure with his petty remarks," Yoochun said as he went beside Jackson, then he produced fire to burn the Sinner. The Sinner countered the fire by producing his Eternal Flames, making Yoochun and Jackson move away from their original spot once the Eternal Flame extinguished the fire Yoochun produced.

    "Damn, I forgot about that black flame." Sunggyu said as he looked at the remaining black flame that was still on the ground.

NOTE: Eternal flame: The only fire that could injure the Demons.

     "We can't just go towards him if he can burn us with that Eternal Flames of his," Jiyong said as he looked at Sunggyu.

    "Jackson. Yoochun." Sunggyu called out, and the two demons went to him, "You two with Jiyong and Jaejoong, distract the Sinner. I'll use my Fear Amplification on him." Sunggyu ordered.

     "How sure are you that the Sinner has a fear?" Jiyong asked, and Sunggyu replied with confidence, "Everybody has fears, even this Sinner."

    So they nodded, and the four Demons went towards the Sinner who just dodged every attack they threw at him. And every now and then, he releases his Eternal Flames in which the Demons barely dodged.

     "Fuck!" Jackson shouted as the Eternal Flames caught him, but he immediately removed his jacket before it could make contact with his skin.

    "Are you okay my Prince?" Yoochun asked, and Jackson just nodded and said, "Just got burned a little, but nothing severe."

     Yoochun nodded as well and continued attacking the Sinner.

     "Are you ready my Prince?" Junsu asked, and Sunggyu nodded.

     "We only have one chance, find me an opening," Sunggyu ordered, and Junsu followed by running towards the Sinner while Sunggyu was right behind him.

     "Get ready Jiyong!" Sunggyu shouted.

     Junsu ran towards the Sinner, and the Sinner raised his arm to punch Junsu in the face, but instead of Junsu getting punched, Junsu grabbed hold of Azazel's hands and Jackson and Yoochun grabbed hold of his legs.

    "Let go of me!" the Sinner shouted as he tried to resist the Demons grasp. But they gripped tighter as Jackson shouted, "Do it already!" So Sunggyu went towards Azazel. He made his eyes red and looked directly at the sinner, making him widen his eyes.

    "What is your greatest fear...Sinner?" Sunggyu asked with his low voice. Then the Sinner and Sunggyu went to the memory where the Sinner's greatest fear lurks.

     "Where am I?" the Sinner asked as he looked at his blackened surrounding.

    "We are where your greatest fear is stored." Sunggyu's voice said, and the Sinner countered, "I have nothing to fear!"

     Sunggyu's voice chuckled and thought, "I've heard of that before."

     "Then what is this?" Sunggyu's voice asked when a light suddenly appeared, and as the light vanished, the Sinner's eyes widen.

     "You worthless piece of shit get out of here!!" a man's voice shouted, and the boy who was being thrown away just wept and ran away.

     "Stop this," the Sinner said in a whisper, then suddenly another memory appeared.

    "You are nothing low life. Nothing," another man's voice said as he punched the guy's stomach, making Azazel gasp for air like it was him who was actually punched.

     "Stop it." the Sinner said loudly, but another memory came, which made the Sinner lose his mind.

    "I thought you loved me?!" the boy screamed as he saw a woman wrapped in the arms of an older man.

    "Love you? Are you delusional?" the woman said with a mocking voice, "I don't love you. What I only liked about you is how good you are in bed." Then the older man started talking, "Looks like that's the only strong points you have boy." And without any thought, the mocked boy took out his gun and shot the woman and the old man.

     "STOP THIS!!" the Sinner screamed, blackness surrounding him now.

     "Mockery is your greatest fear." Sunggyu's voice said, and the Sinner searched for the voice and said, "So what? I can handle those petty remarks!"

    "Oh really? Then let's do that." Sunggyu's voice said, making the Sinner flinch.

    "Let's bring every past memory that involves you being mocked by every people who thought you were worthless," Sunggyu's voice stated, and with that, every memory of the Sinner being mocked was showed to him, and every word of ridicule was magnified, making the Sinner's head overload.

    "Leave me alone!" Azazel shouted, and the Sinner's body returns into a silhouette of Bobby's body.

    "Jiyong, now!" Jackson shouted as he and Yoochun let go of the Sinner's body.

    Jiyong ran towards the dazed Sinner. The Sinner looked at Jiyong, but before he could do anything, Jiyong had already stabbed him in his stomach.

    "F-fuck," the Sinner cursed, and Jiyong smiled and pulled his weapon out of the Sinner's stomach, making him bleed.

    "Now who are you going to fuck up?" Jiyong asked. And before the Sinner could utter another word, Jiyong raised his weapon and beheaded the Sinner. Once Jiyong beheaded the Sinner, the arena and the ghouls vanished, and they returned to the soccer field.

    "Kharon, I think it's better to stop the time." Hyunseung suggested, and Kharon nodded and snapped his fingers, stopping time.

    "Finally, I'll be a full demon like you guys," Jiyong said rather excitedly even though he was dead tired.

    The action made the Demons laugh.

     "That won't happen unless you absorb his soul," Sunggyu said and Jiyong nodded. Jiyong went to the Sinner's body and took a deep breath. Then he said the same chant his brother did to absorb the Sinner's soul. 

     "I, the Prince of Pride, the seventh son of the realms of hell, am commanding the soul of this key keepers to be transferred to me in the name of Lucifer." With that. the Sinner's soul went out of its body and transferred to Jiyong.

    The Demons looked at Jiyong who was slowly being surrounded by black smoke. Then, he was set on fire, shocking the sons since it never happened to them before. Sunggyu was about to approach Jiyong, but then the fire vanished, and their most powerful brother welcomed them with a smirk.

    "Finally," Jiyong said as he looked at his brothers with his demonic form.

    "Welcome to the Demon's life, my Princes." Kharon III stated with a proud smile on his face.

    "I can't believe it. Guys...we just fucking did it. We finished our mission!" Suho shouted as he looked at his brothers. The Demons ran to each other and embraced each other like they won a battle, which they actually did.

     "Good job Taeil," Jackson said as he looked at their planner.

     "It wasn't possible if it weren't for you Jackson," Taeil stated as he hugged Jackson again. Then the brothers looked at Kharon and the SOLs who were just standing on the side. Minhyuk smiled at them and told them, "What the hell are you doing guys?! Get in here!"

    The four powerful demons looked at each other and decided not to join the group hug. But Suho and Minhyuk grabbed the four and everyone hugged them anyway. Kharon might not show it, but he felt grateful. 

    After the sweet hugging session, Hyunseung pulled away and asked, "So...what now?"

    Sunggyu looked at everyone proudly and declared, "Now? Now it's time for us to kill the King of Hell."

     The demons looked at each other, excitement covered in their faces. The time to face the King of Hell is getting near, and the real battle is finally about to begin.

- END -
