The Red Tails couldn't believe their eyes. Nene was the only one able to speak, but she was struggling just to talk. "Furuichi... beat Tojo."

"That's beyond crazy."

"But... how did he do it?" All eyes turned to Chiaki. "You all saw it. He doesn't have a King's Crest anymore. Kaiser wasn't giving him any power, yet he still had that weird, red energy to use against Tojo. If that wasn't Kaiser's power..."

Nene caught on quickly. "Then who's power was it?"

The room was silent, everyone thinking the same question. Then, Nene stood up, a look of determination in her eyes. "Everyone, move out! We're heading to Castle Beelzebub!" Everyone gave their commander a questioning look. "If I know Furuichi, he's going to head straight to the castle! If we want answers, that's where we are going to get them!"

Everyone knew she was right. They all stood up and saluted. "Ma'am, yes, ma'am!"

"Also, be sure to be prepared for a fight!" Now the girls were really confused. "Think of it as a precaution! We have no idea what Furuichi has been through in the last eight hundred years! I have no idea if he even still sees us as comrades! I would much rather avoid a situation like combat. . . . However, if we have to fight, we will win! Right?!"

The women felt a fire ignite within them. They all answered in a way that made Nene proud. "Damn right!"

"Aw, dammit."

"What's wrong, Kanzaki?"

"He didn't use Furuichi Rhapsody. I wanted to see how strong it had become so I could see how much I needed to improve the Kanzaki Flamenco."

Himekawa's glasses shined at the repose. He was silent for a bit, before looking away from Kanzaki and pushing up his glasses. "Idiot."

"Huh?! What was that, Shitty-Four-Eyes?!"

Yui looked up at her dad. "I didn't know we had a dance named after us."

Kanzaki looked down at his daughter. "It's more than a dance. It's a technique used to counter one of Furuichi's moves. It's strong enough to knock him out cold."

Yui had stars in her eyes. The thought of her dad being stronger than the guy who beat her Uncle Tojo was awesome. Though, Himekawa chuckled at him. "Yeah, right. You've never even used that dance on him."

Kanzaki grew a tick mark. "It's more than just a mere dance, Shitty-Four-Eyes!"

Natsume laughed a bit at the exchange between the rivals before he got up. "Now then, shall we go?"

Everyone looked at him with a confused look, before Kanzaki got an idea of what he meant. "Ah, you mean go to the castle?"

"Yes. I'm betting that's exactly where Furuichi-kun would go next."

Shiroyama nodded his head in agreement. "Indeed, that's definitely something he would do."

Kanzaki got up, holding Yui in his arms. "Come on, Yui. You get to watch your old man beat the crap out of your uncle."

Yui looked excited. She would love to watch that. Then, Himekawa spoke again. "More like watch him get his ass handed to him."

"You want me to beat the shit out of you, Four-Eyes?!"

"You honestly think you can, Lip-chain?!"

Natsume sweat dropped and let out an awkward chuckle from watching the banter between the two rivals. As they were arguing, the group casually walked toward Castle Beelzebub.

"I can't believe Father lost."

Shizuka was just as shocked. Tora wasn't the type to lose to the same opponent twice in a row. She couldn't believe how strong Furuichi has become. "Fuyumi, let's go to Castle Beelzebub." Fuyumi gave her mother a questioning look. "Your father is going to retrieve medical attention from Lamia. Her office is in the castle. Besides, something tells me that's exactly where we'll see Furuichi. I have a few questions I'd like to ask him."

"Me too." Shizuka looked down at her daughter, who was looking back at the screen. "Besides, I'd like to reunite with my uncle after eight hundred years."

"Dad won!" Dasalus was jumping around, laughing happily at his father's victory.

"Father is so incredible." Lephea just couldn't look away from the screen, unable to look away from her victorious father.

"Hey, mom." Lamia looked at her son. "Is dad coming here now?"

"Of course." She didn't hesitate at all. Why would she? She knows her husband. The next place he'd head for would be Castle Beelzebub. Since Lamia is the Head Doctor of Castle Beelzebub, her family was given a section of the castle as their home. They live in the castle. He'll be coming to the castle. He'll be coming home. "Kids, be sure to prepare yourselves for your father's return."

The two kids answered simultaneously, but just as happy. "Yes, Ma'am!"

As Laymia looked at the screen, she couldn't help but think Furuichi's return wasn't the only thing they needed to be prepared for.

"Awesome! Uncle Furuichi won!" Takami was cheering for his uncle's victory.

Aoi and Oga looked shocked. They couldn't believe Tojo lost to Furuichi... again. This new Furuichi was seriously strong. Oga couldn't help... but actually want to fight Furuichi himself.

Then, Oga noticed something. As he looked around the room, he noticed someone was missing. He wasn't happy when he realized who it was. He sounded bloodthirsty when he asked the fateful question, "Where's Hilda?"

Hilda was running as fast as she could, trying to reach the gates of Castle Beelzebub as soon as she could. She knew heading towards the Colosseum would be a waste of time. It's the castle he'd head for.

All she could think of is protecting her Master from that... thing.

"I won't let you near him. I won't let you anywhere near him! I will kill you before that happens, Vampire!" As she thought this, and made plans on how she would execute the beast, she unsheathed her sword; and moved her hair away from her left eye. She was ready for the inevitable fight.

Olrox just stood in place, trying to catch his breath. Fighting Tojo without using his healing powers was like fighting Brauner. Hard as hell, but ridiculously fun. Wining a fight as awesome as that is always satisfying. It leaves a bit of a high behind.

Olrox watched as medical demons ran towards Tojo, and started to examine him. Curious about his opponent's condition, Olrox walked towards the nearest demon. "What's his diagnosis?"

The demon didn't answer him right away. "Incredible." Olrox raised an eyebrow, and tilted his head a bit. "Even after his losses against Lord Oga, it takes about ten hours for Sir Tojo to fully recover." Olrox was impressed. Tojo Hidetora must have quite the vitality. He knew that Tojo wasn't the type to use healing magic just by looking at him, but he could still recover that quickly. "However, after his fight with you..." Olrox estimated it would take about two or three days. "It should take him about half a day to recover."

"Ha-?! Half a... Eh?" Olrox could swear his jaw was hanging loosely. Even when he wins his fights with Brauner, both brothers usually spend all day recovering... or were they just using that as an excuse to be lazy? . . . Nah. Those fights were seriously draining. They weren't being lazy. Right? . . . Right?

"Prime Minister, if you wish, we can carry you to the castle infirmary. Even you must be tired after such a grand battle."

Olrox gave a kind smile that made some of the female, and even some of the male, doctors blush. "That won't be necessary. I shall make my own way towards the castle. Sir Tojo is your first and only priority. Understand?"

The demons respectfully bowed before the vampire. "Yes, Prime Minister. We shall now take our leave." Except for being called Prime Minister, Olrox felt like he was back in the Southern Plains. He watched as the doctors carried away the now snoring Tojo. He really does heal quickly.

The rest of the audience began to take their leave. Olrox could hear them talking among themselves. He heard one of them say that his fight with Tojo would go down in the Colosseum's history as one of the greatest fights ever held in the ancient structure. Olrox felt a surge of pride flow through him at the thought of that.

As he walked toward the exit of the Colosseum, he slowly activated his powers, especially his healing abilities. They didn't work immediately. Olrox was too damn tired. He barely had enough power to make a new shirt. Good thing he had a backup. Reaching into a storage dimension, he grabbed a bottle of Victor's Saint's Tears. He opened the top and stared at the crimson liquid. He took a large gulp, making sure to drink every last delicious drop. After a satisfied sigh, he smashed the bottle into the ground, an old habit he doubted either he or Brauner would ever break; even at the request of Victor. Now fully charged and nearly totally healed, he could now give his full attention to his guest. "Is there something I can help you with, dear sir?"

Olrox turned to see a man as tall as Tojo. His glasses were shining in a way that made reading his expression difficult. The man then looked up, his eyes sharp with determination. "I am the Master of the Izuma Eight Gods Style of Martial Arts, as well as a half human/half demon hybrid. My name is Kaname Izuma."

"Oh?" The part about him being a hybrid interested Olrox. Hybrids tended to be the most powerful beings in both of their respective bloodlines when they mastered both ancestries. Shel, Stheno, and Euryale were perfect examples. Since their birth, the three girls have shown great promise that rivaled even Angelo's potential. Olrox knew that they would grow to be exceptional beings, their older brother being one of the only beings that could challenge them, not including their father and respective mothers of course. When Olrox thought about it, he himself was a hybrid. He had the blood of one of the strongest vampires, as well as the blood of one of the strongest demons. He knew that once he mastered his powers, not even Satan would survive a battle with him unscathed.

"I have given you my name. I now ask you to give me yours."

Olrox knew what this man meant, but asked anyway just to be safe. "The name your people know me as, or the name I know myself as?"

"The name, Furuichi Takayuki, belongs to a good man. A man who is loyal to Beelzebia, and would do anything to keep it safe. His loyalty belongs to the Great Demon Lord, and no one else. That name does not belong to you... Vampire."

Olrox chuckled. "So there was someone in the audience who knew a vampire. I suppose I should have known." Olrox then stared at Izuma with hard eyes. "I am one of the Six Dark Generals of the Umbra Kingdom. Newly proclaimed strongest vampire in the world of man, son of Shizuka Hio... and the descendant of the Demon Lord of Pride, Lucifer." Izuma's eyes shot open in surprise and shock. "I... am Olrox Erebus." The two were silent for quite some time, until Olrox looked behind Izuma. "Will you introduce yourself, young maiden?"

Izuma was confused, until he heard the sound of footsteps. "Though I do appreciate you calling me young, I am the same age as you, Mr. Erebus. I would appreciate it if you spoke to me as an equal." Izuma looked behind him to see a beautiful, blonde demon maidservant. "I am Yolda, one of the personal maids to Lord En; the older brother of the Great Demon Lord."

"I see. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms. Yolda. However, I would appreciate if you would address me as merely Olrox."

"Very well, but only if you address me as merely Yolda. Tell me, what is your reason for returning after all of these years?"

"A pilgrimage."

This caught Izuma's attention. "What kind of pilgrimage?"

"One to discover my past. To learn of who I once was."

Yolda didn't like the sound of that. "You have no memory of who you were, do you?"

"No." Izuma and Yolda both clenched their fists, unhappy for the response for different reasons. Izuma didn't like the thought of Olrox forgetting all the good and joy he has brought to Beelzebia. Yolda didn't like the thought of him forgetting everyone who was dear to him.

Yolda continued the conversation. "Tell me, Olrox, what do you hope to accomplish by regaining the memories you have lost?"

"At first, I started the journey to gain a sense of clarity. To be free of the burden of feeling... incomplete. Of feeling like something was missing from my life."

Izuma noticed what Olrox had said. "What do you mean, 'at first'?"

Olrox chuckled. "You're quite observant. This was supposed to be a simple soul-searching quest. To learn who I was. I have done much of that already. During that quest, both of my mothers have unlocked much of my full potential. However, when Lucifer unlocked my powers, it came at a price. It attracted my 'uncle'." The two heard the venom in the vampire's voice when he mentioned an "uncle". "That bastard found me... and completely humiliated me. He told me I wasn't ready to be killed yet. He wants me to fully unlock my powers... so he could kill me then. He said that it would prove his superiority over not only me... but over his 'beloved sister'. That's why I'm going to master my powers, and use them to humiliate that three-eyed bastard."

Yolda had a look of contemplation. "'Three-eyed bastard'? 'Uncle'? If Olrox is the son of Lucifer... then his uncle would be..." Yolda finally understood what Olrox meant, a look of horror on her face. "You're planning on fighting Satan?!" Izuma looked just as shocked and horrified.

"Yup." He answered in such a nonchalant way, as if fighting the Devil himself wasn't such a big deal.

"Are you mad?! Satan's power is in the same class as the Great Demon Lord! He's one of the most powerful beings in all of Hell! He crippled the previous Great Demon Lord in single combat! Yet, you want to fight such a being alone?!"

"Yes, I do." Yolda and Izuma looked stupefied. "Of course, I do need to master all of my powers. Hell, I haven't had a chance to use my new demon powers even once. Well, technically I used my new wings to fly here, but I mean my more offensive powers. I'm hoping that after I learn about who I was, I'll be able to more easily learn how to control my powers. And on that note, I'll be taking my leave. Have a pleasant day." He them turned his back towards the two. Before they could react, he morphed into a cloud of mist, and disappeared; leaving behind two, dumbfounded demons.

It barely took him so much as a second to reach the castle. It was hard to miss, especially since it was on top of a tall hill surrounded by a moat. It almost looked exactly like Umbra Castle, just not as extravagant. It would take a bit of time to walk all the way up the hill. Taking this in mind, he took out his phone to call Victor as he nonchalantly started his long hike.

The phone rang about four times before it was answered. "Moshi moshi?"

It wasn't Victor, but Olrox recognized the voice. "Fuji? This is a surprise. I was expecting to hear from Victor."

"Ah, gomen. I'm one of those people who has to answer a ringing phone."

"As well as speak in you native tongue?"

"Hai. Gome- I mean sorry."

"Don't worry. It's kind of nostalgic. Where is Victor anyway?"

"He went to the restroom. Oh, here he is now."

Olrox waited for a bit. „Hallo."

"Why did you answer in German?"

"Felt like it. What's up?"

"I've learned quite a few things about myself. Apparently, I was the Prime Minister of Beelzebia before I left."

"That's no surprise."

"It's not?"

"Hell no. You're pretty much the Prime Minister of the Southern Plains. You and Adelram deal with all of the political, economic, and agricultural crap that comes with ruling a kingdom. How often do you see me, Brauner, or Sharn do so much as a single piece of paperwork? The only thing you two don't deal with is finance. Angelica has that down to a science. Anyway, it'd be weirder if you weren't in that kind of position before the 'rebirth into a vampire' deal. Everything has a beginning, even brilliance like yours." Olrox couldn't help but chuckle at Victor's words. "Anything else to report?"

"Oh, I ran into an apparent old friend of mine."

"Ooh. What happened?"

"We drank, he told me a few things about me, and we had a duel."

"That's kinda unfair. You must have slaughtered the guy."

"No. I made sure to seal most of my power to make it a fair fight."

"Shoulda seen that coming. So, did he tell you anything interesting?"

"Oh, yeah."

"What?"

"Apparently... I'm a father."

The line was silent. It was for quite sometime. Enough time for Olrox to see the top of the hill. "YOU'RE A WHAT?!" Olrox then heard a clatter, and the sound of glass breaking.

"Ah! Doctor! That was-!" That was Fuji's voice. What was he so worried about?

„Huh? Oh, Scheiße!" After that, Olrox heard a loud explosion. The phone then went silent. Olrox looked at the screen to see it say "call ended". The explosion he heard must have destroyed Victor's phone. Shutting off his phone, Olrox placed the device back into his pocket, and nonchalantly walked through the gates of the castle; leading into the courtyard.

"I've been waiting for you, Vampire."

Olrox looked towards the entrance of the castle. Before the massive doors stood a beautiful maidservant. Olrox noticed she looked a lot like Yolda. He concluded that she must have been her relative, most likely her sister.

Olrox sensed the killing intent oozing from her, and saw the bloodlust in her both of her mismatched eyes. The amount of power she was releasing would have brought lesser men to their knees. However, it was utterly useless against Olrox. After seeing both Lucifer and Adelram at their angriest, there was very little that could scare the man.

Since she knew he was a vampire, he only thought it was proper for him to introduce his true self to the woman. "I am Olrox Erebus, son of Shizuka Hio, and the newly proclaimed strongest vampire in the world of man. I ask that you grace me with your own name."

The woman never stopped glaring at the vampire. "I am Hildegarde." That name sent a disgusting tingle up Olrox's spine. That name was very uncomfortable for him, but he didn't know why. "I am the personal demon maidservant to the Great Demon Lord." Olrox was impressed to hear that. That must mean she is the strongest of all the servants in the castle. "My allies call me Hilda. However, you shall know me as you execution, monster." She them took out a sword from her parasol. She threw away the sheath, and pointed the blade towards Olrox. He could tell that she was pointing it toward his heart.

Olrox analyzed the woman. Indeed, she was strong, but he could tell by just looking that she was nowhere near his level. In fact, she was barely a match for young Shel. "Pardon, M'lady, but I refuse to do battle with someone weaker than myself. It is not honorable."

Hilda's eyes shot open in shock, which them turned to rage. "How dare you? You believe yourself to be my superior?!"

"Yes."

Hilda looked visually injured by the response. If she didn't look mad before, she looked absolutely furious. "HOW DARE YOU?!"

Hilda then charged at Olrox, prepared to impale him with her sword. Right when she was about to stab through his heart, Olrox blocked her sword... with just a finger. Hilda was shocked. Determined, she continually slashed at the vampiric demon, all of her strikes blocked by a mere finger.

The only reason Tojo came so close to beating Olrox was because he sealed a great deal of his power. He had to if he wanted to give Tojo the fair fight he deserved. Olrox felt obligated to fight that man honorably, however, he has no obligation to give this woman that same handicap. All she was was an obstacle, a hindrance that needed to be quickly removed.

Running low on patience, Olrox flicked away the woman's sword, and flicked her forehead. The small strike caused Hilda to fly away. She landed on her feet near here sword, with a look of absolute shock on her face. Her forehead felt like it was struck by a hammer instead of flicked by a man's finger. She looked up at the man, standing with an air of absolute power. It infuriated her. The thought that this used to be Creepichi filled her to the brim with rage. How could she be losing to him?! All she ever saw him as was her Master's slave. Someone who should gladly give his life to protect him. A servant who should be doing his damnedest to make the life of the Great Demon Lord as excellent as possible. Yet he threw that honor away to become this... parasite?

"Damn you!" Olrox raised an eyebrow. "What kind of monster have you become, Furuichi?!"

Olrox was surprised. Most of the demons he met would call him Prime Minister. The only person who called him by his was Tojo... an old friend. This woman knew him personally... yet he felt no such feeling of friendship from her. All he felt was bloodlust and malice. If he knew this woman, all they were were allies, accomplices, or acquaintances... but never friends.

Olrox didn't have time to think. The woman was then surrounded by demonic energy, her eyes glowing. "Begone." She then charged at Olrox. He dodged each of her attacks, and then jumped away. When he did, Hilda jumped into the air. She then gathered a massive amount of demonic energy around her sword. It developed into what looked like a black hole. It was as large as a glacier, it's width covering the large courtyard. It completely covered the light of the Demon World's sun. Olrox just stared at the massive ball of darkness... and saw an opportunity. An opportunity to use his demonic powers. More specifically, his new gravity powers given to him by Lucifer.

Olrox closed his eyes, concentrating. If Hilda had been paying close attention to him, she would have noticed his hair starting to rise and move like feelers. He... looked exactly like Lucifer. When she believed her attack was fully charged, it was large enough for all of Beelzebia to see.

Oga and his family could see it from the streets. The sight caused the parents to run as fast as they could, with Takami in Aoi's arms. Kanzaki and his group were confused by what they saw. Nene and her Red Tails were shocked.

Dasalus looked out the window, looking directly at the energy. He saw Hilda, and was wondering why she looked so angry. When he looked toward where she was looking, he saw something that brought a smile on his face.

"It's dad!"

Lamia, Laymia, and Lephea ran towards the window. They looked toward the direction Dasalus was pointing at, and saw Olrox. The pressure and darkness from the energy made it extremely difficult to see him, but they all knew it was him. With that in mind, they worried for him. He was about to be struck by Hilda's strongest attack, which was powerful enough to level a mountain range to dust.

Hilda released a war cry as she threw the ball of energy towards Olrox. That's when she felt it. She felt her power. The power of Lucifer. She only felt that incredible power once. It was during a diplomatic meeting between her master and the newly revived Demon Lord. The meeting took a bad turn, and Lucifer was infuriated. She released a terrifying amount of demon energy that had even Hilda shaking. The person that quelled that rage was... Furuichi.

Olrox opened his eyes to see the demon energy falling towards him. When he felt it was close enough, he rose his hand toward it... and stopped it when it was practically a foot away from him. Hilda couldn't see him, but she was astonished to see her attack was stopped. Then, Olrox gave her another surprise. Using his gravity powers, he threw the attack right back at her. It moved far quicker than when she threw it. She didn't have a chance to dodge. She was defeated by her own attack.

Hilda fell to the ground, covered in wounds. It was a challenge just to open her eyes. When she did, she was greeted to the sight of Olrox standing over her, tall and proud. He was looking down at her, both figuratively and literally. Yet, it was strange. She didn't feel like she was being looked down on by the Prime Minister, or the Lieutenant of the Pillar Division, or even the creep she met ten thousand years ago. She felt like she was being looked down on... by a Prince of Hell.

Olrox watched as the woman fell into unconsciousness. She would survive, but she would most likely be asleep for quite some time. Her injuries would prevent her from moving for a while, though he couldn't predict for how long. Demons seemed to heal extremely quickly. Feeling the sleeping beauty would no longer be a problem, Olrox walked toward the entrance of the castle; unaware of his "audience".

His son was looking at him with absolute admiration. One could practically see the stars in his eyes. Tojo and Hilda were two of the strongest people he knew, outclassed only by his Uncle Oga, yet he watched his father defeat both of them in the same day. He couldn't believe how amazing his father is. He wanted to meet him immediately.

Lephea was just as amazed by his power, but she always was a clever girl. Somehow, she knew.

"He was holding back." Her family looked at her, wondering what she meant. "He wasn't using his full power. He didn't even fight Uncle Tojo with his full potential. He held back against both Uncle Tojo and Aunt Hilda."

Her family was astonished by what she said. Then, Dasalus grew an even bigger smile than before. "Awesome! Our dad is so incredible! He's stronger than Uncle Tojo and the old hag combined!"

Hilda was always cold towards Dasalus. He looked to much like Olrox, which is something Hilda couldn't stand. She thought Furuichi's death was a form of treachery. With that selfish mindset, she always looked down on Dasalus, and belittled him for so much as a minor mistake. Dasalus loved the stories about how great of a man his father was, but Hilda never had any such stories. She would always tell him the negatives. He was weak. He was a pervert. A creep. A slave. That's how she would always portray him as. That's why Dasalus never liked her. She never had anything good to say about his father, who he greatly admired.

She would admit that he had his uses, but she would always make them sound few and far between. She once begrudgingly admitted that she trusted Furuichi with the safety of her Master, but she has never seen him as anything other than Creepichi. Her hatred and disgust for the man grew after his "death", because she was forced to watch her Master suffer. She would do anything to make him happy again, even if it meant bringing Creepichi back. However, seeing him as a vampire made her want to kill him even more. Becoming a vampire was the ultimate form of treachery for her, so he needed to die. Now, everyone who has witness the battle knows that Furuichi is far more powerful than she could ever be.

That information made Dasalus grow even fonder of his father. He even wished to grow up to be exactly like him. Dasalus now wanted to be a man as great and powerful as his father.

Lephea was just as enchanted. Hilda was far more lenient with her than she was with her brother, but most people knew it was because she looked more like Lamia. Lephea respected Hilda's beauty, strength, and loyalty towards the Great Demon Lord; however, she despised how much the woman belittled her father. Hilda has brought the poor girl to tears on many occasions by insulting her father. She had her kind moments, but they were few and far between. Lephea couldn't help but feel happy... to see her father put the maidservant in her place.

Lamia and her mother looked at the man with both shock and fear. They also recognized the power he had. They were there during the diplomatic meeting with Lucifer. Laymia was one of the advisers, while Lamia was there for any potential injuries. Most meetings in Hell ended with a fight, usually bloody ones. Furuichi was the one who prevented such a thing from happening. Though, they will never forget the feeling of Lucifer's power. Those two never expected to feel that power again, especially not from Furuichi.

The family watched as Olrox walked toward the doors of the castle. Excitement getting the better of them, the children ran out of the room, hoping to transverse the maze-like corridors of the castle in time to reach their father; their mother and grandmother close behind them.

Oga and his family were running as fast as they could. Oga was worried about Furuichi. Aoi also worried for her old friend. She has had many duels with Hilda. She knows exactly how powerful she is, and how brutal she can be. Hilda wasn't just the strongest maidservant, she was also one of the strongest fighters in all of Hell; along side Oga, Tojo, and herself. Since Furuichi had just finished fighting Tojo, she was afraid that he'd be too weak to so much as defend himself. Oga had the same thought. With this thought haunting them, they tried to ran even faster, hoping Hilda hasn't done anything she might regret.

The Red Tails were just now climbing the slope, all prepared for a fight. Somehow they knew... that Furuichi had beaten Hilda. It was their fighting instinct that told them this. They were all nervous, none so more than Nene herself. She knew that the best case scenario would be to avoid a fight with Furuichi... for their own safety. They all hoped that a fight wouldn't be necessary. None of them were even remotely certain they would win.

Kanzaki was walking with Yui on his shoulders. Himekawa looked like he was contemplating. Natsume had one of his rare, serious faces on. Shiroyama was walking behind Kanzaki, keeping both his leader and his daughter safe. Yui was happily humming a tune, unaware of the serious mood her group had. They all sensed an amazing power, one that couldn't belong to Oga's fake wife. They knew it had to belong to Furuichi. Since that was the case, they thought they needed to be on guard. Hilda was always the biggest bitch to Furuichi, but that doesn't mean he won't see them as enemies either. They needed to be on guard, and ready for one hell of a fight.

Shizuka and Fuyumi had just reached the summit of the hill. The two looked at one another, both holding bows and arrows. After sensing that power, they knew that things would probably get dangerous. Izuma and Yolda were able to catch up to them, though they didn't greet one another. Instead, they silently informed them that they were ready. With their resolve fixed, they started to climb towards the summit, ready for a potential fight with their old friend.

Beelzebub sensed Furuichi's power. He was sad that the man he respected fought his adopted mother, but was also worried. He sensed Lucifer's power from Furuichi. He was sure his parents and older brother sensed it as well. Lord En was probably trying his hardest to keep his parents calm. Taking a deep breath, Beelzebub rose from his throne. He walked out of the room to find Furuichi... prepared for another fight with the man who gave him some of best moments in his life.

This was it. Behind these doors was where the first goal of his journey would end. Olrox could finally learn about his full past.

He felt nervous for some reason. He took a deep breath. After calming down, he pushed open the doors, ready for whatever may come. It's time to finish this pilgrimage.

Victor was coughing up a storm, the soot from the explosion exiting his lungs. "Fuji, are you alright?" There was no immediate response. "Fuji?"

He was answered by a sneeze. "I'm alright. What caused you to break that vial? It was filled with Inferno Powder."

"Sorry. I was surprised. You would be too, if you found out Olrox was a father."

"Oh, I knew."

"YOU WHAT?!"

"What? Furu- I mean, Olrox was the Prime Minister of Beelzebia, the capital of all of Hell. Of course his children would be well known."

"I guess that's true." Victor looked down at his vial, disappointed. That powder was hard to come by. Adelram was only able to obtain it when he killed a monster wreaking havoc in the local volcano. Victor had so many plans for that stuff. He looked around to see if the explosion from the powder damaged any of his other experiments. "Fuji, is anything damaged?"

"N-no. B-b-b-but, I-I-I-I-I think we m-m-m-might be in t-t-trouble." Fuji was shaking. You could hear the absolute terror in his voice.

"What makes you so thaaaaooouuuuuu... Scheisse."

In the entrance of the lab... stood Adelram. . . . And he did not look happy. "Victor. Fuji."

The scientist and his assistant stood before the Dark Lord, standing straight. They looked like deer caught in the headlights of the cars Victor made a decade ago. "Sir, yes, sir?" They were shaking like leaves in the wind. Victor has seen Adelram angry. A normal person who was truly angry could be scary, but the Dark Lord himself? That's a nightmare fit for Hell. Fuji's instincts were all screaming in fear. This guy was definitely worth being afraid of, and Fuji sure as hell didn't want to find out why.

"I'm only going to ask this once: Where. Is. Olrox?"

Victor felt like he was about to wet himself. Every word made him feel smaller. He felt like a bunny rabbit looking up at a dragon. "H-he's doing... things."

Adelram's eyes look just as cold and angry as before. "What kind of things?"

„Dies das Ananas."

Victor immediately regretted saying that. It felt like Adelram's gave was piercing right through him. "Victor." The mad scientist jumped in fear. "You know damn well Olrox is the only one who can speak your language."

Victor's fear finally got the better of him. "He's in Hell!" Adelram didn't look convinced. "He asked me to help him find a way into Hell! I found the way, and sent him there, TWICE!"

Adelram was silent for a bit, his eyes shadowed by his hair. "You. Did. WHAT?!" His voice literally shook the entire planet. All four plains were vibrating from the sheer volume of his voice. Many people were scared by the sound of the Dark Lord's voice. Even the Three Ministers were shaking in fear.

„Es tut mir Leid!" The cry was just as loud. Nobody knew what was yelled, but could hear the fear and terror in the voice. They all shared the same thought. "That poor soul."

A/N: You'd think that too. Adelram can be pretty damn scary when he's really mad. Victor found that out the hard way... twice. It seems Olrox is getting closer to unlocking his past. When that happens, he's going after dear old "uncle" next. Though, it doesn't sound like it'll be that easy to find the information he wants. Everyone who knew him is now heading for the castle, prepared for a potential fight. He may be seriously powerful, but he's seriously outnumbered. Besides, Kaiser is at full power in Hell. He's supposed to be in the same level as Olrox's mom and uncle. Key word: supposed. Olrox has beaten Kaiser before, even though he used the element of surprise. Still, underestimating either of them is a bad idea. Let's see how the strongest vampire survives in enemy territory. Good luck, you vampiric bastard.
