(***Soma POV***)
“Looks like it’s just the 3 of us now.” said Graham as he kicked Genya to the other side of the room.
Graham launched fireballs aimed at Soma who dodged all the incoming fireballs with his superhuman speed. As he landed Soma noticed that Graham had disappeared only for him to appear right in front of him and kicked him. The surprise attack caused Soma quite a bit of damage as he felt that one of his ribs had been broken.
Soma was healed by his Alura Une guardian soul and switched to his Headhunter soul which increased his stats. He then moved so fast Graham couldn’t keep up with his movements and slashed his sword at Graham but in that instance, Death appeared and attacked with his scythe forcing Soma to dodge.
“You’ll have to do better than that if you want to stop me.” said Graham
“Shut up!” yelled Soma as he charged at Death so that he could deal with it before focusing on Graham.
Soma within an instance of a second appeared before Death and raised his sword and slashed at the reaper. Soma struck the reaper but it seemed to pass through the reaper without hurting him and Death retaliated with a punch. Soma transformed into a bat to avoid the incoming attack and opened his mouth and fired 5 fireballs at the reaper causing him to take some damage.
Sensing fireball being launched at him Soma turned into mist and the fireballs passed through him. The mist flew to the ground and then reformed as Soma. Soma was now emitting a dark aura the like of which no human could.
“Look like you really are the one.” said Graham
“Stop this if you keep pushing me I can’t control what happens next.” said Soma in a cold voice unlike his normal tone.
“That’s the point. Looks like I’ll really have to go with this plan after all.” said Graham as he sighed
Graham waved his hand and Mina appeared at his side. She was in a daze as she sways left to right.
“Mina!” yelled Soma as he tried to run towards her but was instantly stopped when Graham put a sword to her neck.
“Now now let’s calm down shall we.” said Graham as he took a step closer to Mina.
“I’ll kill you!” yelled Soma
“You know I think I might really be a bad guy. This is the second time I’ve done this. I’ll have to remember to apologize.” said Graham as he sighed again

“Let Mina go!” said Soma who was barely containing his rage.
“Or what you’ll stare really angrily at me. No, you will do as I say or the girl dies.” said Graham
“What do you want?” said Soma as he glared angrily at Graham and squeezed his hand so hand they began to bleed.
“I want you to surrender soul and power.” said Graham
“What!?” yelled Soma in shock
“I want your soul. Will you give it willingly or do I kill this girl.” said Graham
“I will but I don’t know how to give it.” said Soma
“Well you have 5 seconds to figure it out.” said Graham
“Wait!” yelled Soma
“5… 4…” said Graham who unknown to Soma was squeezing his fist quite tightly.
“Please stop!” yelled Soma
“3… 2… 1…” said Graham as he ignored all of Soma’s protests.
Graham then placed his hand on Mina’s forehead and she dropped to the ground instantly. Soma then saw the image of Mina on the ground and screamed at the top of his lungs. As he screamed the dark aura he emitted grew stronger and stronger.
“You let her die. Why didn’t you save her? Why can we never save her?” Soma heard a voice in his mind.
The dark aura exploded from Soma and enveloped him completely. Within seconds the aura receded back into Soma’s body but his eyes were now read and had a cold look to them. He stood up disregarding Mina’s body on the ground and looked at Graham.
“Why have you awoken me?” asked Soma?
“Nothing big I just need your help.” said Graham
“Who are you? You’re not a human so drop the disguise.” said Soma?
“Yeah it’s time to reveal myself.” said Graham?
Graham then began to transform as his gray hair turned white and his eyes turned amber and black. He shrunk a bit and finally looked like a young man instead of the adult body he had. He was now in the form of Zero Hakuba who was Soma’s best friend.
“Zero I thought you were outside the castle.” said Soma? in a cold tone.
“No, I’ve been inside the castle from the start. About Mina..” said Zero but was interrupted as Soma? appeared in front of him and impaled Zero through the heart with his sword.
