An endless lush of green from the grass stretched far away, as far as the eyes could see. It gently swayed under the caress of the breeze. The sky above is painted with a brilliant azure color with a white brush from the clouds that float above, casting a shade onto thend.


    In the middle of the lush greenery stood a pir. A single tree that announces its presence in the world. Its canopy stretched wide, creating a shade for an individual to rest their body and mind.


    Martial Saint, who crossed his legs, sat below the tree as he was meditating, emptying his mind from the unnecessary thoughts. Suddenly, his eyes shot open as he felt something was not right with the owner of the body.


    "What is happening?".


    As a Martial Saint, he could feel Soma''s life force slowly depleted, and it only spares a cup. He stood from his ce as he started to connect his sight with Soma.


    In the first ce, Martial Saint could share his vision with Soma, but he didn''t want to disturb his personal life, so he never did that, unlike the other inhabitants.


    However, before he manages to seed, a single howl of a cry from Soma echoes inside his head. No, it reverberated in the field and made the vibrant field turn dim with ck clouds that started gathering above and being pulled by an unknown force.


    "Things just got worse!".


    Martial Saint''s body starts to glow, and he is ready to possess Soma like the other day.


    "Don''t Worry, Soma. I will help you. Now rest and leave everything to me".


    The golden glow from the Martial Saint''s body starts to intensify as he begins the possessing method. But the moment his body starts to fade.


    From behind him, dozens of ck chains suddenly appeared and wrapped themselves around his feet, making him stiffen in ce.


    "This is?".


    Then, from all over the ce, multiple chains start to images from an empty air and restrain Martial Saint''s limbs. The world turned still for a moment before a heavy pressure descent and murderous intent began to spread its terror into the ce, making the vibrant ce turn gloomy with its withered life.


    "You?!".


    Martial Saint, who realized who the identity was, turned his head back and saw ck Soma in his devil form. The Devil''s face was knitted, showing his menacing and spreading his violent aura walking approaching him.


    "Get lost, invader. This is my matter to finish".


    "How can you..?!".


    The chains that wrapped around his limbs started to wrap around Martial Saint''s mouth. The Devil who witnessed the immobilized Martial Saint. He raised his gaze, then turned into a ck smoke that shot through the sky. While the ck smoke rose to the sky, a single growl escaped his lips.


    "...This time, I will kill you for sure!".


    Gura, who witnessed and felt that Soma was in his death door, loosened the restraint in his throat and let Soma cling to his faint hope before shoving him again into the depth of despair.


    "Hehe. What''s the matter? Where is your bravado from earlier? Come on, wake up and fight! I want to see your resilience so breaking you feel more worthwhile".


    Soma, who was in Gura''s grasp, managed to hold off into his slim hope. However, no matter how much he resented the demon before him, his body was in a critical state where he couldn''t even lift a finger. He couldn''t let himself take some portion from his storage and heal himself.


    His gaze that kept staring into the glittering night lost its light, and he only saw gray in his vision. Earlier, he heard a faint whisper from a Martial Saint that he woulde to help him, but his body still couldn''t find the power to resist. "...Live!".


    The faint smell of death started to invade his thoughts. But Soma used his puppeteer skill to control his body to move. His body slightly twitched, which roused Gura''s excitement.


    "Oh, that''s good, keep resisting!".


    Gura, who saw a slight twitch in Soma''s body, spread his lips. Then suddenly, Soma''s body jolted viciously, and the faint aura that almost disappeared was reced with the strong presence that shook Gura''s soul to the core.


    With the primal fear that starts to invade his heart. Gura unconsciously threw Soma to the side, making Soma roll on the ground a couple of times, then stopped with its face on the ground.


    ck smoke starts to emerge from Soma''s body. Then, it gathered around his body, creating a small whirlpool that exuded an ominous aura for everyone who saw it. Gura, who, for the first time, received the aura, stiffened. As his body stoned, not daring to move. His instinct as a demon also rings an rm that he must not face the person before him.


    The appearance of the swirling ck smoke makes the surrounding air turn violent, and it creates a small storm that gathers around soma at its center. Devi, who was being hit by the small storm, twitched her eyes as she felt something nostalgic that she remembered well.


    She jolted her eyes, and the wind around her started being sucked toward a certain ce where the aura around that ce felt familiar.


    "This is!!".


    A sense of foreboding creeped out from her heart, and her mind started to replicate the day she lost her close aides.


    Gura, who was hit by the storm directly, stared at the ck smoke that kept swirling before him. Then, from the storm, a pair of red eyes filled with hatred red at him, making his body jerk in fright.


    "Hehe, heheahahahahahaha".


    A shrill, eerieugh escaped from the storm. At the same time, the ck smoke and the storm sted away. There stood a boy they recognized and also not at the same time.


    "You?!".


    "...?!".


    Gura, who looked at Soma with wide eyes, opened in shock, and Devi shuddered in fright as she looked at the familiar figure that gave her trauma.


    In front of him, Gura saw Soma with his new appearance. A goat horn from his side skull that pointed forward, a pair of ck bat wings, and a tail that circled around his waist.


    "Ahahahaha, fuuh. Finally, I got the body".


    The devil who managed to obtain control over Soma''s body. He looked toward his hands clenched them to get used to the feelings. He closed his eyes and savored the air surrounding him before exhaling it.


    "...Who are you?".


    Gura''s voice brought Soma, or The Devil, back toward the presence where he is currently in control over the body and trying to finish his business. The devil opened his eyes. Inside, it contained a feeling of pure hatred that managed to overwhelm Gura. "...This hatred!".


    The devil stared straight at Gura before he disappeared from his ce. His movement was so fast that Gura couldn''t follow it with his enhanced vision when Gura was trying to figure out where The devil woulde from. A huge fist that blocked his sight appeared one inch from his nose.


    "Guuf".


    A sickening thud echoed in the opened space. Gura''s head snapped to the back as the force of the punch was so powerful it sted him from his standing ce. The punch sent a jolt to his brain, making Gura''s thought process cease.


    Gura rolled on the ground a couple of times before he stopped andy on his back facing the sky. The devil whonded his feet on the ground clenched his right fist that struck Gura''s face earlier. He shot a menacing re at Gura''s side, opening his mouth.


    "Who am I? I am the one who will kill you!".
