They find themselves in a quiet graveyard. There's nothing particular but gravestones and strong smelling thin mist. The trees around them look old and most of them are dead ones that give such an eerie impression for this place.

ßenlong walks really careful as the guardian of this floor might appear anytime. All they can see is old and dirty gravestones with jasmine petals around them. As expected of a graveyard: Too quiet. They do feel an awkward atmosphere as they advance.

'You know Alfi, I never like a graveyard.' Aoi said. 'The last place to sleep for all living beings always gives blue and gloomy vibes, right?' She said sadly.

'Well, anyone will die, won't die?' Alfi said briefly. 'But why does death exist anyway?' He added.

'It's because of life existence.' ßenlong cut. 'Human starts by being born and ends by being dead.' He added.

'And why should we go through such a process?' Alfi seems down.

'What do you mean?' ßenlong is getting curious.

'Sorry, I was just getting carried away. Just forget what I said.' Alfi said.

'We don't mind. It's bad to keep it by yourself, you know?' ßenlong is trying to persuade him to spill the beans.

'Well, as you know that I am the Starless, I know understand why I have such a miserable life. The Starless is a being which is hated by his own world that his life becomes sorrowful, right?' Alfi explained.

'You can say that. The Starless is a loathsome figure for the world and even the gods including me. We, as the guardian of the world, never care about you, yet there's a party that supports you.' ßenlong explained.

'Really?' Alfi asked.

ßenlong nods and says, 'You are hated by the government side of the world order like the gods, angels. and His retainers, yet the ones on the opposition side are on your side.'

'Which means, Alfi...' Jeje looks surprised.

'Right, his life is blessed by the devils and demons like you. He is protected by the direct command of Lucifer, the king of devils and blessed by seven high-level devils that represent deadly seven sins, Asmodeus, lust, Mammon, greed, Leviathan, envy, Beelzebub, gluttony, Belphegor, sloth, Amon, wrath, and Lucifer himself, pride. And that's why you have such a tough life as no God retainer blesses you, and you have no choice but to be blessed by the devils that you are here right now. And that's why you are called "Starless" which means something black and dark.' ßenlong explained.

Alfi remains silent.

'So you know why I hate your suicidal trait as everyone in our side hates seeing you alive.' ßenlong said.

'Human life is a selection whether he deserves to enter Heaven or Hell, right? Then what about me? If they hate me that bad, it means it's impossible for me to go to Heaven, right? Then what is my life for? What do I live for? If death is gloomy and eerie, then what about my life? That's why I am so suicidal. But, why am I alive regardless of the fact that I have such a miserable life?' Alfi sighed

'I think it's not for protecting the world only.' Jeje said. 'You are the Starless, but if you were not here, we would never make it here.' He added.

'What do you mean?' Alfi asked.

'From how you fight, it's obvious that you fight foolishly for letting your opponent kill you as soon as possible, yet you still have a soul of a protector deep within that insists you to keep fighting for those whom you protect. Do you know why it happens?' Jeje asked.

'Because I just want to protect them.' Alfi answered.

'Nope, you just want them to know your existence. You protect them hoping they'll know your existence. You feel like to end your life while on the other hand, you wanna live your life longer as you want to find the reason to live. You are afraid of life and death at the same time. You are afraid of living all alone and dying all alone as well. But now? You are not alone anymore, right?' Jeje explained.

Alfi smiles and says, 'You are quite sharp, Jeje.'

'I know that you have a hope in despair, but you just keep living and facing anything getting your way. And that's what makes us salute you. Humans may keep intimidating you, but we will never do such disgusting stuff, even though we are demons, at least we are better than humans.' Jeje explained.

Tears slowly drop from his eyes dampening his cheeks. Alfi lives his tough life surrounding by a toxic society that resulting him to be apathetic scum like this.

'Thank you so much.' He said.

They are smiling at him.

Suddenly they see many wooden shelters around them. They look old and uninhabited, but suddenly a guy in black coat appears from one shelter on the right.

He then stands in front of them.

'Are you the guardian of this floor?' Alfi is intimidating him.

He just remains silent giving them an intimidating gaze.

'Hei! Are you listening to me?!' Alfi is getting irritated by his gaze.

'The name is Siwa.' He said. 'This is the rest area for all fragile spirits. No one may disturb them.' He said seriously.

Suddenly they see many people in the black coat coming out from those shelters. They are having coconut on their right hands and they are approaching Alfi's party with empty gaze on their faces. Alfi is surrounded.

'Tsk, an ambush, eh?' Alfi sighed.

'Now! Bless these lost spirits already!' He raises his arms to the sky.

They are raising the coconut on their hands to the sky and starting enchanting an ancient spell.

'Ong, gni brahma anglebur panca maha butha, anglukat sarining merta. mulihankene kite ring betara guru, tumitis kita dadi manusia mahatama. ong rang sah, prete namah.'

The coconuts are glowing orange. Their bodies are absorbed to those coconuts, and the coconuts have turned into fireballs.

'Banaspati?!' Alfi is shocked.

'Ong, gni brahma anglebur panca maha butha, anglukat sarining merta. mulihankene kite ring betara guru, tumitis kita dadi manusia mahatama. ong rang sah, prete namah.' He said slowly.

The fireballs are flying to their direction.

'ßenlong!' Alfi exclaimed.

ßenlong emits flame and spins around vanishing those fireballs.

'So you are not lost spirits, but the dirty ones needing purifying.' Siwa said.

'Shut the fuck up!' Alfi is coming to him with Tipit on his right hand ready to strike him.

But, suddenly a black circle appears on Alfi's body petrifying him that he is unable to move at all.

'What the hell?!' Alfi can't believe what's happening to him.

'This spell!' ßenlong is shocked by seeing the black circle on his body.

'So it's the infamous Starless. The dirty soul protected by the devils by the direct command of Lord Lucifer. What an honor to see you here.' Siwa said.

He is trying to move his body, but his body is like it won't listen to him.

'It's no use to be so persistent. You will never able to move your body as long as the circle exists on your body.' Siwa said. 'Endihs, the fireballs you vanished have a responsibility to bless the spirits residing here, and you guys vanished them that easily. So I need many souls to consume to create them, but if I use your soul, which is the dirtiest soul ever, I guess it's enough to create ten million Endihs. The Starless is protected by the devils and demons, but I don't want to protect you.' He added.

The circle is shrinking into a small black spot on his chest and it emits a heavy magic shockwave that sends him flying. He falls crushing that gravestone hard. He gets up while touching his chest which feels painful. He feels like his chest has been pierced by a huge spear.

ßenlong and the others approach him.

'You are Leak, right?' ßenlong yelled at him.

Siwa laughs maniacally and says, 'Exactly! I am Leak!'

'What did you say?! Leak?!' Jeje is shocked by knowing who Siwa really is.

'Leak?' Alfi is confused.

'Leak, The Balinese sorcerer of black magic. His duty is to bless the spirits residing on the graveyard, yet he likes consuming dead bodies and human's organs.' Jeje explained.

'Which means, this graveyard is...' Alfi said.

'Yes, they are his victims. More victims, the stronger he becomes.' Jeje is getting agitated.

'You are quite sharp for an inferior demon.' Siwa said.

'Alfi, don't let your guard down! He is a black magic master like Pelesit, but he is more way stronger than Pelesit! He has incredible spells up his sleeve!' Jeje warned Alfi.

'Cut the crap!' Alfi draws the Magic Curtain and covers himself in it.

'Bwagh!' Alfi coughs something like black fluid and he falls on his knees as the pain on his chest is getting worse.

'It's useless! There's no way you can dispel it!' Siwa exclaimed.

"Blood?! Impossible!"

'Blood? Impossible? There's no "impossible" for me!' Siwa exclaimed.

Suddenly Alfi appears beside him and strikes him with his black jet Pelidi shoving him crushing that wooden shelter.

"He is even able to read my mind. Not to mention I still feel the pain even though he cast it on my clone." Alfi is getting agitated.

Suddenly Siwa is floating on the sky by levitation. Something like black aura engulfing him. Both of his eyes are glowing red and he starts enchanting an ancient spell.

'SI, GOD,

WA, BLESS,

YA, SOUL,

NA, THE POWER COVERING INTELLIGENCE,

MA, EGOISM THAT BINDS SOUL.

I LIGHT THE FIVE OF PANCA GNI TO PUNISH THE DIRTY SOULS BEFORE ME!'

An orange illumination comes out from his mouth and eyes. His body is getting taller and full of rough hair. Both of his eyes are getting bigger like ßenlong', his teeth are getting bigger and he is sticking out the long tongue of his.

It lands with the black aura surrounding it.

'I am Leak! I'll purify your souls by crushing them!' He exclaimed.

The cornered Alfi refused to surrender. He is panting but he draws Tipit from his bracelet. Now Alfi wields Tipit and Pelidi in such a condition. The pain on his chest hasn't gone, yet he doesn't want to give up.

'So, you will fight in such a condition?' Leak asked arrogantly.

"Your Highness, are you sure about that?" Pukan asked.

"Will he let me get away?"

"I don't think so, but I do want to defeat it!"

"Oh, what is it, Pukan? He took your interest?"

"Yes, his power is as strong as mine, and that's why I am so worked up!"

'The black aura around your weapons. Pukan, right?' Leak asked.

'So, you do know Pukan, eh?' Alfi asked.

'No wonder such a blasphemous creature is able to use it.'

'Hey, Leak. Let's have a showdown! Which is stronger? My Pukan or your black magic?!' Alfi challenged Leak.

'Interesting. Just try to attack me if you can. If you can defeat me, I'll let these three go.' Leak said.

Alfi turns around to check if some of them disappear.

'Not them, you idiot.' Leak said.

Three black balls appear on the sky and he sees a woman and two men he knows well entrapped in those balls. They are trashing out trying to break the ball from inside while yelling at him.

'Alfi, run!' Herman yelled at him.

'Just run already, you dumbass!' Varz yelled at him.

'Don't mind us, Alfi. Save yourself!' Kartika yelled at him while crying.

Yet, Alfi is unable to hear them.

'They are...' Jeje is shocked.

Alfi remains silent seeing those three. His gaze becomes empty out of the blue and he gives the gaze to Leak.

'Why are you looking at me like that?' Leak asked.

"Your Highness, get yourself together!" Pukan exclaimed.

Alfi is coming to Leak directly. Black circles suddenly fly to his direction from all direction. Alfi then nullifies all of them at an incredible speed. Alfi is getting overwhelmed by his own wrath that he loses his cool. What he has on his mind is just "Kill that fucking Leak".

Leak then opens both of his hands and enchants an ancient spell, 'ong siwa gandu angimpus leak, siwa sumedang anundung leak, mapan aku mapawakan segara gni…'

Alfi suddenly stops and pours that black liquid from his mouth. He keeps pouring it just like a faucet pouring water that the black liquid forms a quite vast puddle. The view is kinds gross that no one, especially Kartika who is crying over him can't hold themselves to watch that. When Alfi is done with that, He passes out before Leak's presence.

'ALFI!!!'
