"I'm sorry... You'll have to let me go, Dogma"
"NO! ... You can't, we're blood siblings aren't we? Even if I am a monster, we agreed that our pact means we'd have to face any challenge we face, no matter how world-breaking it is, we face it together!"
"We're bound by the empire remember? at least if you can live on... then we can't have a free-spirit like you running to your death"
"I'M GOING WITH YOU TO FACE HELL NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY!"
"Lilith... let him rest."
"Understood. I hope you'll finally realize your identity Dogma-san while we're away."
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Deep Sleep~"
"..."
"Warp him to the nearest dungeon entrance at the edge of Bristol"
"... Badlands huh?"
"The empire won't seize him there. It's neutral territory, at best they'll think of him dead along with all of us."
"The slave contract that they bound on us just after we became SSS ranks, they spiked our drinks during the celebration, I still wonder how they managed that though..."
"We couldn't sense it no matter how vigilant we were, luckily Dogma still wasn't with us back then."
"Well no use crying over spilled milk, we're all here anyway, let's just finish our last job and create a better world for him."
"Are you sure we have no other way to go about this? What about Iris?"
"We can't... as we are right now, I bet we can't even put a scratch on that fucker."
"... Sacrificial Forced Reincarnation..."

"A new start for that pain in the ass. Levels, status, abilities and even memories. A total reboot of the body and soul, I'm glad you made this spell Merlin."
"I just hope when we're gone, the demon king won't be influenced by Underground anymore. Ancient bastards."
"Then we tag on him a warp rune before we sic him."
"Now now Frampt... don't say that as if it's just a walk in the park..."
"Don't worry, what's another challenge? We're all on death's door anyways right? Might as well make sure our evil right here would be in capable hands."
"So we're all in agreement?"
"Lilith, Succubus Queen, Rank SSS and Carnival Witch"
"I'm here master~"
"Merlin, Spell Lord, Rank SSS and Arc-Magus"
"I'm here. Ya know I'm not getting any younger."
"Frampt, Plasma Dragon, Rank SSS and Light Fury"
"YOSH! I'll always have your back!"
"... and I, Ophelia, Hero, Rank SSS adventurer and Monster Tamer, shall subdue the Rank X Demon King, I hope Grandineur shall have fulfilling next life."
"... You're laughing at a time like this?"
"Nothing, I just had a thought of young Dogma accidentally coming across the reincarnated demon king and being friends with him"
"U-uhm... don't joke around like that, you know you're still an oracle, I hope that's not a divination."
"Hmmm~ I wonder..."
"""Dogma, please be safe."""
