Grayfia and Natsu immediately arrived in front of the House of Lucifer. It was on the first layer of the underworld, located in the far western area.

"I'll be waiting out here, you have two minutes to persuade them to come out otherwise there will be punishment." Natsu spoke seriously.

She nodded her head rapidly.

She quickly entered the House of Lucifer and sped up her pace to find where the four descendants were, there were other maids that greeted her arrival but she waved them off swiftly and continued to her destination.

Opening the wooden double doors that lead to a small underground passage, she climbed down the stairs and made a sharp turn to the left and arrived in front of cold concrete double doors. It had the Lucifer's House symbol craved into it.

She knocked on the door.

Several moments later, the doors opened and it revealed a dimly lit room with a round mahogany table in the middle with wooden chairs surrounding the furniture. There were four people sitting on the chairs, all of them were staring at Grayfia.

She gulped hard.

First, there was Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the famous grandson of Lucifer who was sitting at the head of the round table. Next to him, there was Creuserey Asmodeus, he had his chin rested on his palms and his eyes were eyeing Grayfia. She didn't want to look directly back at him. Then, there was Katerea Leviathan, in her hands were several documents that she was about to hand out and lastly, Shalba Beelzebub, he was the one that Grayfia hated the most. She detested his personality and behaviour to everyone.

"Grayfia, where have you been? I needed you twenty minutes ago." Rizevim asked. "What happened to you?"

He noticed her battle clothes were creased and a few drops of blood on her shirt.

She bowed deeply and spoke her excuse.

"I had some personal business to attend to and that is when I bumped into a little trouble." She replied.

She took a deep breath.

"There's someone important outside the house. He would like to meet all of you." Grayfia stated.

"Oh. And who would that be?" Rizevim questioned.

"It would be best if you see him personally. If you would all please make your way outside quickly..." She trailed off.

"Or what?" Shalba retorted impatiently.

"He says that'll he will give me two minutes to gather all of you to meet with him. There's only less than a minute left, he will do something quite catastrophic when the time is up." Grayfia almost pleaded.

"Very well, let's go." Rizevim replied instantly.

Shalba grumbled while Katerea sighed.

Creuserey stayed silent followed them outside.

All of them quickly paced outside the House of Lucifer and all of them gazed their eyes upon the demon in front of them. Grayfia was the only to step forward and greet the emperor once more while the others stood back, having their guards up. All four of them could sense the enormous aura that was radiating from him.

"Oho, you're faster than I thought. Just eight seconds to spare before I would have delivered your punishment." Natsu stated. "Looks like you avoided it this time..."

Grayfia swallowed hard.

"So, who are they?" He asked. "One of them seems familiar, just a little."

"Emperor, that would be Rizevim Lucifer, it is who I serve." Grayfia introduced. "They are descendants of the original devils who led the devil race."

"Oh? Lucifer? No wonder your aura seems familiar." Natsu commented.

"Everyone, this is Emperor E.N.D." Grayfia introduced again.

"Hello, emperor." Rizevim greeted. "It's so great to have someone like you recognise me."

His voice almost sounded sarcastic.

"Mind your tone, boy." Natsu spoke dangerously.

"It was a joke." Rizevim pointed out.

"I knew that." Natsu replied plainly.

"Oi, don't ignore us!" Shalba yelled, getting impatient of the current situation.

"Shut up, Devil Spawn." E.N.D replied as he launched an attack towards the Beelzebub descendant, a pillar of fire shot up from the ground where the devil was standing and it enough to send him down to his knees.

"Aaargh!"

"Shalba!" Katerea yelled in shock.

Creuserey merely looked down at his injured comrade.

'Only lifting up his finger to command a simple attack and obliterate the targeted area is impressive. Especially when he attacked one of us, a powerful member of the descendants with our ancestors' blood in our veins.' Creuserey thought as he returned his gaze towards the emperor.

"Heh, serves you right..." Natsu muttered to himself.

Luckily, the other devils in front of him didn't hear it despite their enhanced senses.

"Oi, Creuserey do something. He attacked us!" Katerea shouted at him.

"No." He stated simply. "It's Shalba's fault for aggrovating him, he only returned the favour. It's also unwise to attack an enemy who has a higher aura level than us."

Katerea spat on the floor.

"Couldn't have said it better than myself. I commend you." Natsu spoke.

Creuserey nodded briefly.

"Now, now. Let's just head inside for a talk... unless, you want to fight us, emperor?"

Natsu looked at each and every descendant that was standing a few metres away, he was assessing their power levels. He wasn't impressed with female and the brown-haired devil; their power levels were quite low. If he were to have a one on one fight, they wouldn't stand a chance and Natsu, he didn't even need to lift up a finger.

He eyed the black-haired devil, he was somewhat decent, it was higher than the two before but it wasn't high enough to boil the blood within the demon. As for the last devil he laid his onyx eyes on, Natsu could sense potential and he had an instinct that he would be able to put up a good fight, if they were both serious.

"They have fallen too far, huh?" Natsu whispered to himself.

He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Talking is too peaceful. I'd rather fight all of you at once, it'll be easier for me to get to know you all..." Natsu replied eerily.

They were about to reply but he gave them no chance to talk as he disappeared from his standing point instantly and reappeared in front of Rizevim, launching a fist towards the devil. Then, Rizevim was pushed back several metres but he wasn't hurt or injured at all.

Natsu looked at his fist with a small grin.

No damage to either parties.

Rizevim was able to activate his invisible barrier that surrounding him, it protected him immediately from any incoming damage, he was lucky to have that otherwise he would be on the floor right now.

"Come on. Let's go, I'll have all of you attack me at once!" E.N.D declared.

Katerea was the first to attack the emperor from a small distance, using her demonic power to perform spells that could stun the opponent but unfortunately, they were too weak when it came in contact with the demon's aura.

It incinerated the spells into nothingness.

"What?!"

The descendant of Leviathan was in shock, none of her long-range attacks were working. She was proficient in magic attacks but hand-to-hand wasn't her forte. Katerea had to fall back for now and think of another way to attack him while her comrades fight.

Shalba ran forth towards the emperor as he covered both of his fists with elemental energy, boosting his power behind the punches that he launched towards the opponent. Every single attack he threw, it was blocked easily. It was almost as if the emperor knew when the next attack would be coming and where to block it.

The descendant of Beelzebub gritted his teeth.

Soon, he was kicked back several metres and toppled over from the force, making his own body weight fall over on the concrete ground.

Only mere seconds later, Creuserey appeared in front of Natsu and tried to tackle him but the emperor saw it coming and countered the attack with simple but effective punches, pushing the grandson of Asmodeus back.

Katerea came from behind, trying to perform a sneak attack but Natsu managed to fly away in time and kicked her in the stomach, making her collide with Shalba as he stood up.

Rizevim on the other hand, he had two magic circles summoned at the palm of his hands, he was about to summon weapons that were stored in his dimension pocket.

He had a grin plastered on his face.

His blood was pumping in excitement.

"Grayfia, attack him." Rizevim commanded.

She kept quiet for a moment before answering.

"As you wish, Lord Rizevim."

Grayfia sped towards the emperor and had multiple magic circles that were summoned above her, it shot out several icicles from each one and they were heading rapidly towards her opponent. As soon as they were in distance, the icicles were deflected with ease by the draconic scarred wings, it acted as a shield for Natsu.

Being a little surprised by this, she continued forth and created a spear that was made out of pure ice, cold to the touch, she jousted it towards the emperor. He saw this coming and ducked with ease but Grayfia couldn't stop her footing in time and almost toppled over her own footsteps.

E.N.D grabbed hold of the spear with the palm of the right hand, making her stop in her tracks but then, she noticed that her spear was melting.

Her eyes were wide, forming a shocked expression.

Her spear was melting.

She couldn't believe it.

Her ice was unique and only to be mastered by herself. She had never encountered that her icy powers could be melted by a touch of someone else's palm of hands. There had to be something that the emperor was using to specifically melt it since her ice was several hundred degrees cold.

"What's wrong, Grayfia Lucifuge?" He asked, smirking.

She could hear the sizzling from the tip of her spear that was held by Natsu's palm, it was turning into hot steam.

Before she knew it, the icy weapon in her hands were no longer there and she saw an eruption of fire exploding in the emperor's palm and he was about to attack her with his fist of flames.

On instinct, she took flight, sprouting her multiple pairs of devil wings outwards and flew several metres in the air and took distance between herself and Natsu.

Rizevim pulled two weapons out of the magic circles that he summoned. In his left hand, he wielded a longsword that was made out of alloyed steel and in his right hand, it was a short sword. A weapon that could be useful in a flurry of slashes and lunges.

He sprouted his devil wings out like Grayfia then, he flew towards the emperor and swung the longsword high above his head and pulled it downwards, letting the weight of steel drop and the blade let out an ominous wave.

It obliterated the pathway as it went towards Natsu but he was able to block it with his wings, making the dark wave dissipate in the air.

This made Rizevim grin even more.

Natsu blocked and countered all of Rizevim's attacks with his palms and forearms, it was almost as if his skin was made out of steel.

"Is this all you got, Grandson of Lucifer?" Natsu asked, grinning like a battle-maniac.

His adrenaline was pumping.

The other three descendants were a few metres away and they were concentrating their eyes on the one-on-one fight between their comrade and the emperor. They were only a class lower than Rizevim but it showed that the blood within his veins were acting up and the rush of battle was getting to his brain, making him wanting to fight more.

They decided to help Rizevim as they wanted to defeat the emperor since he humiliated them with a small shock of his own power with mere flicks and punches that was enough to hold them down for a while.

Their pride as a devil was too strong.

Their arrogance as a devil was disgusting.

They weren't finished yet.

Shalba summoned a magic circle in front of him and multiple attacks launched towards Natsu, they were the four elemental attacks. Air, water, earth and fire. They were strong spells in their own regard but Natsu deflected the attacks with his wings again but he took the opportunity to eat the flames that were heading his way as he dodged Rizevim's uppercut.

In all of the devils' eye that were looking straight at him, they wore shocked expressions as Natsu ate the fire that was coming his way. Never in their life have they experienced someone eating an element before.

It was strange.

"Thanks for the food, Devil Spawn." He grinned like a madman afterwards.

"W-What?!" Shalba yelled out. "W-Wha? H-How did you do that?!"

Instead of answering him, E.N.D sped towards him and made a fiery fist, launching the high-speed attack towards Shalba's face, making his cheek bones crack and nose bleed. After that one single attack, he was down on the floor but he was able to get back up, he didn't have his guard up in time and got kicked in the face – sending him down once more.

The grandson of Beelzebub's head was spinning, he couldn't get a focus on his opponent that was standing right in front of him, his vision was blurry.

Natsu continued to attack him until he was no longer able to get back up from his feet.

On the side-lines, Katerea was in disgrace and decided to stop the emperor from attacking her comrade, she extended two of her arms towards the enemy then her arms multiplied like branches and strangled the emperor from there.

"I've got you now!" She yelled, pulling him back with her strength.

"Oh?"

Then, the unexpected happen when Natsu got pulled away from the unconscious body. His whole body was lit on fire, ultimately burning the descendant of leviathan's arms into crisp. E.N.D laughed manically as he heard the painful screams that she was making.

Katerea tried to unwrap her extended arms around the opponent but she couldn't.

Something was stopping her.

His iron grip on both of her arms.

He was too strong for her and the fire continued to burn her smooth skin, burnt marks have already appeared and the flames began to get hotter by the second, spreading towards her body.

"Aaahh! Aaarghh!"

Her screams became more predominate.

Creuserey had enough and attempted to release Katerea's arms from the emperor but as he did so, the flames spread in a five-metre radius around him. Creuserey got caught in the fire but it didn't affect him as much as Natsu would have liked but the grandson of Asmodeus did receive a lot of burns on his arms and face.

E.N.D pulled Katerea's arms and threw her across the area, making her body fall limp on the ground. He then took the chance of fighting Creuserey on a hand-to-hand combat fight with fistfuls of fire.

Grayfia was about to intervene but she was stopped by Rizevim.

"Lord Rizevim?" She questioned.

"You don't need to fight anymore, Grayfia." He answered. "My grandfather did talk to you about E.N.D after all, you no longer need to fight the Emperor."

"I don't know where you're going with this, Lord Rizevim." She stated honestly.

"You mentioned that my grandfather decided that you will serve the Emperor, right?" He asked.

She nodded firmly.

"Then, you will." Rizevim replied firmly. "You've served the House of Lucifer for centuries and you've served me for several decades, don't you think it's time for a change?"

"If that's what you wish then I shall comply, Lord Rizevim." Grayfia answered.

"Good." He replied simply.

Natsu delivered one final blow to Creuserey's head to knock him out and he turned towards Rizevim and Grayfia's direction.

"You know, I can hear what you are talking about, Rizevim." E.N.D stated.

"Heh," Rizevim let out a chuckle. "Of course."

"E.N.D... since you heard what I said, you don't object right?"

It was silence for a couple moments before Natsu decided to answer.

"How about we finish this fight? All your other comrades are weak, they don't have the potential to grow in strength." He spoke. "And I'm itching for a really good fight. I hope you can meet my standards, Grandson of Lucifer!"

Natsu engulfed his fists in blazing fire and attacked Rizevim but he was able to block it just in time with his blades. If it was a mere millisecond later, he would have gotten hit in the face with burnt marks. He used his short sword to stab the emperor in the chest but then, it was deflected away by a mere swipe from Natsu, almost twisting the blade three-hundred and sixty degrees.

Rizevim almost let go of the blade.

Taking the fight in the air, Natsu flew upwards along with Rizevim and he ignites his feet with flames, kicking the grandson of Lucifer in the torso at high-speed, catching Rizevim off guard for a moment. He used his devil wings to hold his body weight up in the air. Dusting the slightly scorched clothing off his chest, Rizevim grinned at the emperor.

His adrenaline was starting to pump throughout his body.

E.N.D ignites his feet into flames, propelling himself towards the enemy, and performing a round house kick on Rizevim's left side which he blocked with the longsword. It was an easy block or so he thought, Natsu had put a little bit more power than usual and Rizevim was unable to handle the pressure with his main hand weapon. Natsu's right foot imbedded into the opponent's gut, making him choke out saliva and blood at the same time.

Rizevim was able to recover after several moments after he flew away from the emperor to make some distance between himself and his opponent. He readied himself once more, taking a different combat stance to face E.N.D, who was smirking as he lit his entire body on fire. He boosted himself with a step-up from his right foot and flew towards his opponent with his devil wings, giving him more speed. Both of his weapons were ready to attack as they were brimming with dark essence of energy, it was radiating with malevolence.

At the same time, Natsu performed the same boost as Rizevim and when he was close enough, he caught the short sword with his bare hands and headbutted Rizevim in the chin, throwing his head back and losing control of his flight.

His body crashed into the roof of House of Lucifer, making the building rumble with shock waves.

Grayfia watched the fight from below. She saw Rizevim's body dropped from the sky above her and she wore a worried expression, hoping that Rizevim was well enough to continue the fight. She wanted to fight alongside him but was ordered not to interfere. She could feel the flames from a large distance and the distinctive ominous energy that was radiating from Emperor E.N.D, she couldn't help but shiver in fear.

On the broken rooftop of House of Lucifer, Rizevim slowly got back up his feet. Removing the debris off himself. Luckily, he didn't get any splinters otherwise, it would have been a severe wound – even for a devil like him. Stepping out of the damaged roof, he flew upwards and faced Natsu once more.

"You caught me off guard there, Emperor E.N.D." He stated.

The emperor only kept quiet.

"You really like to talk a lot, Grandson of Lucifer." Natsu commented.

"You make it sound like it's a bad trait." Rizevim retorted.

"More fighting, less talking."

Then, Natsu engulfed his fists with fire and casted both hands together, creating a massive ball of brilliant fire and aimed it at Rizevim. There was no escaping this as it was a high-speed attack even though he tried to jump away from his position, he got caught in the explosion.

The emperor could only grin at the massive explosion he caused.

Grayfia was shocked at the massive explosion that happened above her, it stretched over several miles and the blazing fire was starting to take effect on her body, not even her unique ice abilities could save her from the heat.

She was truly frightened of the emperor.

After the fire subsided, Rizevim was covered in burnt marks. His torso took the most damage as it was scorched and was bleeding heavily with his clothing all tattered in ashes. He breathed rapidly as he tried to take in as much oxygen as possible since the fire that surrounded him made it extremely difficult to breathe. Yet, he was still able to stand his ground, holding both of his weapons in each hand and he was ready to strike once more.

In a blink of an eye, the kiss of steel grazed E.N.D's left cheek and he barely had enough time to jump backwards to create some distance.

He touched the tiny wound with his left thumb, wiping the blood off his face and he stared at the bloodstained thumb.

It was a mesmerising colour.

"Oh? You've finally dealt a blow on me, Grandson of Lucifer." He commented lightly. "It seems that you aren't all talk and show, huh?"

Rizevim took a moment to breath.

"Well, I can't have the Emperor look down on me, can't I?" Rizevim stated. "But you haven't gone all out, haven't you?"

Emperor E.N.D shook his head.

"Of course not. Why would I?" He questioned back. "If I did then I don't think the first layer of the underworld would survive. And, you too, haven't released all your power yet."

"Tch, I thought I was able to hide it from you." Rizevim murmured.

"Nothing can escape from my watch, Grandson of Lucifer." E.N.D stated harshly.

Rizevim looked around himself and below as well, there was quite a bit of destruction everywhere. His comrades had fallen into unconsciousness, they didn't have the power to fight Emperor E.N.D despite their classes as an ultimate. He momentarily glanced Grayfia in the eye and then faced Natsu once more.

"Shall we call it a draw for now, Emperor E.N.D? If we continue any further, the other devils would most likely get involved." Rizevim suggested.

"It doesn't matter if they get involved, they would be burnt to a crisp with my flames." He answered. "But yes, I do agree. We shall continue at a later date... Rizevim Livan Lucifer."

He raised a brow at this.

It was the first time that the emperor called out his name.

"I acknowledge your power; I do hope that you continue to grow stronger like Lucifer... otherwise I would be sorely disappointed in you." Natsu stated truthfully.

"I thank you for your kind words, Emperor E.N.D." Rizevim replied.

"Earlier... Before we fought against each other... it doesn't matter to me if she serves me or not, if she does then she's welcome to." Natsu stated.

He was about to fly away into the distance until Rizevim called out to him again.

"Emperor, how about you drop by in a couple days' time. I wish to talk to you about something that I have planned."

"Tsk. I don't have time for your petty devil plans. I acknowledged you and now you're pushing your luck, Grandson of Lucifer." He spitted out harshly.

"I'd rather ask than not ask at all, you know?" Rizevim stated.

"Very well, I'll listen to what you have to say but you'll have to come to me. I will not come to you as you do not command me." Natsu replied.

"I know. Where would be the appropriate place to meet you then?" Rizevim asked.

"I'll be in the fifth layer at Fuerig Castle, your servant will know where it is." Natsu answered simply.

"Alright then, Emperor. Also... Grayfia is no longer my servant, she is all yours." Rizevim stated.

"Oh? You've made your decision rather quickly." He commented.

"Yes, I have complied with Lord Rizevim's and I am willing to follow with you all the way, Emperor E.N.D." She spoke with honesty in her voice.

"Very well, come to me then..." Natsu spoke.

When she took one step forward, she began making her way to the emperor's side and once she took her final step, Grayfia stood before him.

He grinned darkly.

"We'll be on our way now, I hope to see what you wish to talk to me about, Rizevim Lucifer." He says as he took the Lucifer's former servant's hand and teleported away instantly.

Rizevim smirked in victory as he was now on the emperor's side and he was excited to learn more about him and what else he had to offer once he discussed his plans with him. He turned his eyes towards his fallen comrades and sighed deeply.

"Now then... What should I do with you three weaklings?" He said out loud in a rhetorical manner.

°l||l° Fallen Devils °l||l°

Twelve hours went passed and news spread fast in the underworld. Each and every family knew what happened to the three out of four descendants of the original devils, some were scared to the bone while others were curious about the opponent that they faced. Only Rizevim could answer their curiosity but he refused to do so as he wanted to keep the identity of the emperor a secret to the devils.

He doesn't trust anyone outside of his own circle that he created.

This also meant that the news has gotten to the opposing faction in the devil community, the Anti-Satan Faction. There are quite a few devil families who sided with them, increasing their numbers original numbers and their power levels have also increased by an exponential amount.

"Do you know who could be responsible for their injuries?" Serafall asked.

"No, not at the moment. I can't think of anyone who could do that amount of damage to those ultimate class devils and especially injuring Rizevim whose known as one of the strongest super devils." Sirzechs replied thoughtfully.

"Does it matter who did that to them? I mean, they're injured and knocked out. That means there's someone out there with the power to potentially take all them out – it'll be a great helping hand for us." Falbium stated lazily.

"Yes, but this also means that the person who did take them out, they could be an enemy to us as well. We cannot afford to take that risk since are numbers are only starting to grow, I don't think we would be able to survive if we do ever come across that enemy." Ajuka replied. "We should lay low for now."

They all nod their heads in agreement.

In the House of Bael, they were one of the closest houses to the House of Lucifer. They received the news almost immediately after the surrounding devils had witnessed what they have seen with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it.

"What are you going to do, Lord Zekram Bael?"

"I think it's time for me to visit Rizevim personally," the old man stated as he stood up from his seat and walked towards the exit of his personal room.

"B-But wait! Isn't that dangerous for you? What if the opposing faction finds out?"

"It doesn't matter." He replied. "It's only a quick visit..."

°l||l° Fallen Devils °l||l°

Natsu and Grayfia appeared in front of a barren area with a couple of dead trees, he stepped foot on the pathway that led towards the Dragon Mountains. He motioned Grayfia to follow beside him and she quickly made her way by his side, matching his footsteps as they made their way up towards their new destination.

He softly inhaled the surrounding atmosphere and formed a disgusted expression.

The stench of devils.

Aside from the current devil that was walking with him, who has an alluring scent, he could sense that multiple devils have been crossed this location but he couldn't identify which devil crossed paths here. It was almost safe to say that the devils that he had just met, they haven't stepped a single foot in this barren soil.

E.N.D was mutual with the descendants of the original devils and Grayfia. Though, he favoured more in Rizevim and Grayfia. Especially her since he had eyes on her since the first time, he had met her in the throne room.

He had no idea about the other devils but in his mind, he had already formed an answer and that was he didn't like them, since the stench that filled his nose was awful.

Upon getting closer to the Dragon Mountains, he saw various coloured sprite dragons that was flying towards the emperor. It was almost as if they were greeting his arrival in this area. He let them sit on his shoulders, he could feel their small feet on his bare skin, it was a ticklish feeling.

"Sprite Dragons, they are extremely rare to see." Grayfia commented.

"Yes... they are." Natsu murmured as he guided the small reptile towards the devil.

At first, the little dragon hesitated but acknowledging the emperor's power, it flapped its wings and landed in the devil's soft hand. Falling on its back and rolling around in her palms, it was an adorable sight.

"He's becoming quite friendly to you." Natsu notified.

"Yes, he is." She replied amusingly.

After a while, she sprouted her arms out and let the sprite dragon fly away.

When they arrived at the base of the mountains, they could see cave holes that was spaciously located around the mountains. There were some that had a tail swishing back and forth then there were others that had their eyes glowing in the dark caves, their menacing glare was aimed towards Natsu.

He ignored them.

They were very cautious of Natsu since they have never seen him before in the dragon territory, and since the dragons were several hundred years old, they were able to read the aura levels that E.N.D was emitting. The draconic beasts knew he was strong and knew well-enough not to start any arguments with him, all they had to do was hope that he wasn't after them and hoping that Tannin, their Dragon King would be able to protect them from the demon.

"If I may ask, are we going to meet Tannin, one of the five Dragon Kings?" She asked.

"Yes, we are. I have business with him." He replied plainly.

"I see." Her reply was short.

"Have you met him before?" He questioned.

"Yes, once or twice. It was before the three-way war." Grayfia replied.

"Hmm... In those meetings, what do you think of him?" Natsu asked, curiously.

"Despite what I am, he treats us with respect and we do the same. Well, at least some of us do. There are others who are scared of dragons and some who are too arrogant and they still think that the devils are superior in every other way." She replied thoughtfully.

"I see. It seems that Tannin hasn't changed much since the last time I have seen him." He murmured.

Grayfia went silent.

It took them fifteen minutes to reach the end of the pathway, they saw various dragon species. Ranging from smallest to the largest and there were different types of colours as well, the most common colours he saw were the chromatic colours in different shades.

He immediately stopped in his tracks which caused Grayfia to do the same.

Both of them looked upwards and saw a large figure walking towards them. They immediately recognised who it was and Natsu greeted him casually.

"Hey, Tannin."

His distinctive red eyes were gazed upon the emperor and his accomplice.
