This area was completely dark. It took awhile before things lit up and as they did he caught a glimpse of his surroundings. Around him were his friends but they were reduced to nothing but corpses. He looked around in horror as he saw this.

The city he tried so hard to protect was in ruins and set ablaze. Buildings were broken and damaged and broken used cars litter the streets. There wasn't a single soul in sight. Terios was all alone.

This isn't real... he's just trying to get inside of my head!

Even though he thought that he couldn't break this feeling of dread. Knowing that this what things would come to if he couldn't beat the Devil.

Admit it. You want to see the world burn; see all these people die!

That isn't true...

Why are you lying to yourself?

I'm not!

It's alright to be honest. No one's around to see you for who you really are.

…

It's ok to be so selfish. You only wanted to save your family and friends. Other people's lives have no value you to you.

No...

Well your friends are dead and I'm the only family you have now.

No!

It's ok to be true to yourself. There's no one to see you for who you really are.

Be quiet! You're not real!

Don't delude yourself. Belial simply gave me a voice. I am very real.

Emerging from his stomach head first was none other than Akihisa who slowly broke free from inside of Terios while laughing maniacally. "See how pointless it is? You tried so hard to protect this stagnant feeling, but it all slipped away from your grasp."

"Akihisa... I... you're..."

"Welcome to Hell." He said as he walked over to where Setsuna's deceased body was. Reaching for her he grabbed her by her hair and lifted her up before he caressed her neck with his finger. "Is this the person who means so much to you?"

"…"

"See how easily she can be reduced to nothing? Everything she once was is no more. In an instant all meaning she had is gone. Gyahahahaha!"

"Enough!" Terios stood up and ran toward Akihisa but he soon disappeared.

Setsuna's body began to move on its own, her eyes opening as she stared at Terios much to his surprise.

"Setsuna?"

She took a step toward him and then moved her hands to caress his face before her appearance changed to that of Megumi.

"I hate you."

Terios was taken by surprise as he heard his mother's voice echo out to him. He clenched his fists and fought back tears.

"You stole everything from me. Everything!"

Terios took a few steps back until he bumped into someone from his past; Makoto.

"Watch where you're going loser!"

"M-Makoto..."

"Hehehe. You're so pathetic how could you think that I'd let you fuck me. You're disgusting!"

"I... don't care... about anything you say." He said as he backed away.

"Then why are you running away?"

"…"

"He was a was a much better kisser than you too. I bet that makes you jealous."

Do it. You have the power. It'd feel great to show this bitch who's boss. Kill her. Let's kill her!

No.... I won't!

Just give in already. These dark urges will always be here to tempt you so why not embrace it, gyahahaha!?

"I would have let anyone else fuck me before I gave you the chance."

Terios raised a hand up and generated a stream of shadows but before he could do anything she disappeared.

Soon everything around him disappeared and he was lost within the darkness.

On the outside Terios was simply floating in place and soon the darkness took over within his heart and that allowed Belial to produce darkness spikes which erupted from his heart and came out from his chest. This caused him to gasp as he came to before his body fell to the ground.

Setsuna who was busy with Raanan saw this and dropped her guard which allowed him to hurl a rock he ripped out from the ground. The concrete rammed into her stomach which sent her flying back with the rock on top of her.

Belial simply stared down at Terios before raising his hand into the air to continue with his plan.

Raanan was preparing to crush her with the rock it suddenly froze and shattered into pieces.

"There's more of you?" Raanan asked.

Keiko stood along with Akemi, the two moving over to help her up from the ground. Akemi gazed over at the Nephilim before clicking his tongue.

"Tch. This guy's giving you a problem sis? Looks like you're losing your touch."

"Shut up."

Keiko simply giggled. "Are you ok, sweetie?"

"I'm fine."

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Akemi stepped on the ground, altering its direction as pieces of it began to be uprooted. Raanan leapt away and broke pieces of concrete from the ground as he hurled it at Akemi.

When the debris rammed into him they came into contact with a green thin barrier which broke ahold of Raanan's ability and forced it back in his direction at hypersonic speeds. They slammed into Raanan forcing him to slide against the ground while Keiko used her freeze vision to encase his legs into ice.

"It doesn't matter. Belial has finished. He'll teleport all of you into Hell."

Suddenly a loud strike of lightning could be heard crashing down upon Belial. This caused enough damage to distract him as he stared up at the sky, noticing Emi.

Followed by this was intense sound waves which rammed into Belial forcing him to crash into the ground.

Emi and Shizuka would the descend by Terios who wasn't in good shape. He was healing but was pretty shaken up from the events he witnessed.

"Terios." Emi whispered.

"E-Emi..."

"Listen you can't believe whatever you saw. Those were things Belial wanted you to see."

"I know..."

Terios slowly picked himself up.

"You have to defeat him Terios. You're the only one who can."

"I can't do it alone. I'm going to need all of your help."

"You have our support."

Terios smiled before he saw Belial stand from the ground. Seeing this he clenched his fist and slowly began to walk over to him.

Belial simply watched as the Nephilim came and threw a fist at him. All he did was catch it and twist it around before he forced him on his knees.

"I rule all of Hell, kid. What makes you think you can even scratch me?"

"Because I'm fighting for something bigger.... I'm fighting to protect everyone!"

Terios' hand would soon be engulfed in shadows which traveled down his body.

This is bad...!

He was stuck and couldn't break free. The shadows were inching along his body and covering him in a prison. Seeing how helpless Terios was she knew that they had to do something. She held out her hand and began to channel her divine energy out before sending it toward Terios.

Feeling this energy surge through him increased his strength a bit, but it wasn't enough to retreat from the grasp of Belial.

"Shizuka! Lend Terios your energy!"

"Got it!" Shizuka copied her motions and fueled her energy into Terios as well, but it was too late.

The shadows had completely engulfed him.

"We can't give up! We have to believe in him!"

"Terios. That's so not chill! You have to give it your all!" Ira said as he threw out his hand and began to offer his energy up as well.

"Beat this guy already so I can get back to my game." Kodomo said as imitated the previous action.

"Don't give up Teri-kun! We're here with you!" Akari shouted before offering her energy along with the others.

"You can do it son." Ryo said.

"If you don't finish him already I will." Akemi declared.

"You can't let him win, Teri-kun." Setsuna announced.

"Remember we love you, Terios." Keiko mentioned.

With all of the energy giving to him he was able to use that to break free from the shadow prison and transform into his Angel Overdrive form. His body changed accordingly, his hair growing longer followed by the red highlights. He grew a halo over his head and six energy wings made from his aura.

Belial wasn't surprised at seeing this.

"Angel Overdrive..." Belial whispered.

Terios knew that he wouldn't be able to match Belial's strength so instead he was going to use his friend's energy to empower a new attack. He held out his hand as he forged a katana from his twilight blue aura. The sword simply increased in length.

"Twilight Cutter!"

Belial watched as Terios brought the blade of energy down. Belial leapt out of the way avoiding the attack which carved through the ground and caused debris and twilight blue flames to erupt from it.

When he thought he was in the clear Terios swung the blade around. "You're not getting away!" He shouted as he moved it across and managed to slice Belial in half across the stomach before the flames ate up his flesh and caused his armor to melt.

He wasn't done there, he swung the blade again this time down upon him which sliced him down the middle. The Devil was soon engulfed by the flames of good and evil. His screams filled the air until he was soon reduced to nothing.

Terios sighed softly, but it wasn't over yet. The main problem was the portal connected to Hell. It had to be sealed off somehow and he was the only one powerful enough to do it. He quickly flew off through the skies until he found the large portal which continued to spit out Demons.

Without waiting he descended down into the portal, avoiding any Demons that would try to attack him until he was inside of it. He held out his hands as he began to use up all of the remaining energy he had.

"Agggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Sparks of energy emitted from him and slowly, but surely the portal was beginning to close until he burned himself out and reverted to his regular form. Once this happened the portal widened to its original form and he simply hovered by it.

"Damn it! I don't have enough energy...."
