Author Notes:
Hello everyone, this is Multiverse Learner 101.
What you are all about to bear witness to is the following events from Touma Kamijou's past. It is at this point that Touma Kamijou would begin to be involved in the beginning part of Drag Me To Hell, a 2009 American supernatural horror film directed and co-written by Sam Raimi. And the beginning part would deal about the boy from the original movie who was dragged to the inferno. But his fate would not be like that of the movie, for...

Dies irae - Animation OST: Unus Mundus
Pasadena, California.
March 15, 1969.
It was quite an unforgetabble moment in this particular universe in light of a particular memory of not that long ago. And it was something that the three young women: Misaki Shokuhou, Seria Kumokawa, and Ayu Mitsuari would bear witness to alongside Robin, with Dr. Strange handling the preview of events that had come to pass for The One Who Purifies God and Slays Demons.
"Is...that?"
Shokuhou muttered softly, spotting Touma Kamijou sporting a expression on his face that bespoken of a man of authority in light of his stature and rank. She and the two young women who were seated alongside her, sporting concerned and curious expressions.
They would recall the dire warning that Dr. Strange had once said to them in light of the topic that they were now about to see.
"Young ladies, as Touma and Lord IT would be by themselves for a bit in order to catch up, we are now about to begin to discuss something that may perhaps be quite a sensitive topic that people of the modern age seem to have grown cold in their belief on. For it is something that you three must bear and keep a firm and open mind on, to which I have no doub that you three will. For through the flow of memories within this realm, we are going to go back to a time of Touma's past, an important part of his life that defined him as The One Who Purifies God and Slays Demons, one of many."
And the three young women couldn't help but be attentive of the following scene that shown in front of them.
They would see Touma Kamijou wearing an ancient type of armor and uniform that is only to be found within the annals of history that would relate to the ancient Roman Empire, the post-Republican period of ancient Rome. It consisted of a lorica segmentata personal body armor with the colors of gold and silver with a red tunic underneath, red shorts, a long red cape, at the center of the armor and of the cape sports the labarum (Greek: λάβαρον) which was a vexillum (military standard) that displayed the "Chi-Rho" symbol, a christogram formed from the first two Greek letters of the word "Christ" (Greek: ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, or Χριστός) — Chi (χ) and Rho (ρ), which was first used by the Holy Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, a symbol that was born from a Divine Private Revelation, for the end of Roman persecutions of the Christians for the past four centuries, and a pair of Caligae military sandal brown boots.
The one that would pop up to their mind in relation to this was that of the rank of a Centurion, a position in the Roman army during classical antiquity, nominally the commander of a century (Latin: centuria), a military unit of around 80 legionaries. In a Roman legion, centuries were grouped into cohorts commanded by their senior-most centurion. The prestigious first cohort was led by the primus pilus, the most senior centurion in the legion and its third-in-command.
But he was not alone.
There were other individuals who were standing alongside him.
There was one other person who was wearing the same type of armor as Kamijou, a young man with brown hair and eyes, the same physical age as Kamijou who was sporting the same expression as he was, if a bit laid back and casual.
A whisper seem to come forth and reveal to the three young girls as to who this young man was.
"Kamisato Kakeru."
The one that would pop up to their mind in relation to the young man was that of the rank of a Signifer, a standard bearer of the Roman legions. He carried a signum (standard) for a cohort or century. Each century had a signifer so there were 59 in a legion. Within each cohort, the first century's signifer would be the senior one. The -fer in signifer comes from ferre, the Latin for "to bear" or "to carry".
Then they took notice of another person, this time wearing religious habit and clothing that would be familiar to that of a nun of a convent, a beautiful woman with dark black hair, worn over by a black-white veil, and brown eyes that seem both far and near-sighted with depth and experience, with her mouth forming a simple beautiful smile. The habit that she wore consisted of a brown tunic and scapular, the white toque over the head and shoulders,. There was a belt and rosary worn at the waist, a crucifix worn under the scapular and over the heart, hemp sandals and socks.
There was something else about this woman that made them sport a slow expression of surprise as the gentle whispers would seem to indicate.
For this woman was not human. Rather, she was something whose nature was beyond the nature of magic and science. She was someone who was given authority from on High, taking to the care of the needs of the nations of the Earth, no matter the universe where it originated from.
Who was she?
A question propped back to their mind.
Then they noticed something from her back which was hidden for all who were present at this scene. But not to them and to those alongside them who were observing this scene from the passing flow of memories that would be permitted upon this realm.
From her back were hidden four dove-like wings, which seem more metaphysical and than physical, denoting her status as a member of the ancient powerful race whose influence would be subtly renowned. For the race that she ultimately came from were mentioned in passing from each religion and culture, especially those which came forth from the Middle East. And first and foremost of all to the beloved nation of Israel.
Slowly and slowly do the three young women realize as to who this was. For it couldn't be anything else.
"...It...It can't be...," Shokuhou muttered softly.
She was an Angel of the LORD. But she was no mere angel. Or any variant of angel for that matter. For she was The Angel that belonged to an ancient race who were considered to be the First Angels in existence. And she belonged to the holy rank and choir of the Principalities, the rank that holds and is given great responsibilities.
She was...
"Lady Cassiel — Archangel of Tears — Guardian Angel of Earth."
Meaning that she holds full authority among the Third Choir, the one to whom every other Principality that holds sway and dominion over each part of the Earth were to answer too, and is followed by the rest of the Archangels and Angels, all at their full command.
As of now, they seem to be presently seated on three specific chairs, casually talking with a young Hispanic medium woman about certain topics such as the mere fine weather or...
"How is that rascal of an exorcist, I wonder? I hope that he isn't still jinxing himself with all of those deals that he made and is still continued to be made," the woman would ask with a smile, grabbing hold of a tea cup that she brought alongside a set of tea cups that would be in use of for the visitors of her mansion.
"Constantine-sensei? Well he's more or less fine as usual and is still a gigantic pain in the ass to deal with, so you wouldn't have to worry about him," Kamisato said casually.
"That and Zatanna-sensei is keeping a close eye on him like always so it's all well and good," Kamijou said with a simple smile.
"I see," the woman would smile in approval. "I always knew that she was one that would keep the trenchcoat bastard out of trouble. He definitely needed someone in his misfortunate life after all that he'd been through. I swear, when I first met the man, he was quite the difficult person to be around with due to acting too cold and cynical for my taste. The only good thing is that there were people like Stephen and the Doctor to keep him company in spite of most of everyone leaving him."
"That's honestly the summary of his life when one were to think about it unfortunately," Lady Cassiel would say, sporting a sad smile directed towards the not-present John Constantine — Hellblazer.
And then, they would hear a knock on the front door. And the three young girls and everyone else who were watching would also turn towards the direction of the door that was nearby.
"Mrs. Shaun San Dena!," a woman shouted, as if it was a situation that needed help. "Please help my son! Please!"
The woman, Shaun San Dena, would sport a serious expression on her face, glancing towards Kamijou, Kamisato, and Lady Cassiel who were sporting serious expressions on their faces, nodding to the woman. And so, the three visitors would put their respective tea from the table as they and San Dena would head towards the door.
As San Dena opens the door, they would find a Hispanic woman with black hair, wearing a kerchief to cover it. A dark brown jacket, with a grey shirt and long light brown patterned skirt, and black shoes. They would notice the woman sporting an alarmed and helpless expression, almost as if she hadn't been sleeping properly for sometime. And that would relate to a young boy who seem to be suffering a condition and was having some form of spasms, being carried gently by a Hispanic man with a cowboy hat, wearing a blue jacket with white fur from the inside, with blue jeans and brown shoes.
"For the last three nights he's heard voices," the Hispanic woman said, heading towards the boy who was being carried gently by the father.
"He thinks that something's coming from him," the Hispanic man would say, sporting a grim and alarmed tone.

Shrek 2 Soundtrack 14. Jennifer Saunders - Holding Out For a Hero
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need
Lady Cassiel, walking down the steps, would sport a shocked expression upon the seeing the condition of the boy. Once the boy, still suffering from spasms, began to initiate an eye contact with her, something strange begins to happen in the next moment...and that in turn would make Shokuhou, Kumokawa, and Mitsuari, shudder in horror as the next scene begins to be shown.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
The boy would suddenly get off from his father, tossing him aside and being thrown towards the grass. The mother and San Dena would also telekenetically thrown towards the stone floor. The boy in turn would hover from the ground, his feet touching by a few short meters, with his eyes, once brown, now was sporting the eyes of a goat, rectangular-shaped pupils instead of the normal circle. And it was directed towards Lady Cassiel who in turn narrowed her brown eyes that were flashing subtle divine retribution.
"Αυτό το αγόρι είναι δικό μου, σκύλα! Δεν παίρνετε το τίμημά μου μακριά από μένα! ("THIS BOY IS MINE, BITCH! YOU'RE NOT TAKING MY PRICE AWAY FROM ME!")," the boy exclaimed in the Greek tongue, with his voice becoming unnatural and guttural, with his fingernails turning into unnatural sharp claws.
What the three young women were now seeing was something quite unimaginable and were now at the edge of their seats, glancing at Robin, Dr. Strange, and Clea who were only sporting narrowed expressions. For this was likened to the experience of one who would get to watch a horror film. But there was a key difference. They felt the reality. Even if this were a mere memory of the past. Shokuhou and Mitsuari were embracing each other, frightened at the appearance of the monster who had taken over the boy, whose appearance was resembling more of a beast than that of a human.
Both Kamijou and Kamisato would sport narrowed expressions upon the obviously possessed boy, with their hands clenched and ready for battle, and Lady Cassiel, obliging to the seeming threat that was made upon her, begin to speak the following words in a tone of power and dignity, with four-dove like wings sprouting from her back, and a golden halo appearing upon her head, and a bright light engulfing her entire appearance, finally shown for all to see, and it was one that had the Hispanic couple who were on the ground sporting expressions of shock and awe.
"Scriptum est: Sustine filioli et nolite eos prohibere, ut ad me venire: talis enim est regnum caelorum. In nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, ut auferat, satanas! ("It is written: Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, GET AWAY, SATAN!")"
And then, the boy would begin to descend upon the ground, the demon representing the master being dislodged away, grimacing at the words of the Holy Scripture and the command of authority from on High, banishing it whence it came forth and was in danger of ceasing to be held as an example and as a warning to the denizens of the infernal regions of this universe, but not before Lady Cassiel catches him, dashing immediately to his side and being carried to her arms in a gentle manner, with her right hand gently touching the black hair of the boy. The boy in turn was becoming normal once again, with his fingernails returning to normal size. Kamijou and Kamisato would begin to kneel down and inspect the boy with a sense of urgency and professionalism.
"Kamijou," Kamisato turned towards Kamijou with a knowing look.
"Yeah, I know," Kamijou nodded in turn.
Lady Cassiel would begin to look towards the mother, who couldn't help but sport an awed thunderstruck expression, almost as if she recognized that she was in the presence of an Angel.
"M...My Lady," the mother would slowly get up and would try and dare in faith to grab hold of the waistline of Lady Cassiel's habit, sporting a desperate expression and with genuine tears in her eyes. "Please! Please save my son!"
The mother would beg, a reminscent reminder of a Gospel scene wherein the Syrophoenician Woman would beg the Son of God to expel the demon from her son three times in succession in an act of true faith.
Lady Cassiel would bring comfort to the mother, saying.
"Do not worry, woman. No harm would come to your son. The LORD and myself would ensure of it."
Then Lady Cassiel would turn towards Shaun San Dena, saying.
"Madam San Dena, this boy needs to be taken inside. I'm afraid that the dying demon that I sent back to it's master is but one of legion. We would need to ward this mansion immediately and take the boy towards one of the bedrooms where he will be safe and sound."
San Dena would make a nod towards the Angel, getting up from her spot and saying.
"Of course."
Lady Cassiel would turn towards Kamijou and Kamisato, saying with urgency.
"Oniisama, Kamisato-kun, I'm going to need your strength and courage upon this matter."
"Of course," Kamijou nodded in a grim tone.
And thus, the scene would begin to pass by and shift like the sands of time, with Dr. Strange explaining to the three young women of what they had just seen, for they were sporting expressions of horror, with their hairs straightening out from their skin.
"What you three have just beared witness to is an unfortunate reality that many would tend to take for granted. Demonic possession being the rarest of occurences when the right doors are to be opened. As of the case of this young innocent boy, his situation is of utmost dire, for he is about to be dragged into a realm of eternal suffering for the simple crime of stealing a silver necklace that belonged to a certain gypsy woman. And the main demon head that is hunting the boy is what is known to be the Lamia."
"La-Lamia?," Kumokawa sported a concerned, alarmed, and disheveled expression.
"A powerful archdemon from the infernal dimension of this particular cosmos. The most feared of it's kind. It's purpose is to drag as many souls as it is possible to it's realm where they would be tortured for all eternity. Whether one is innocent or guilty would not matter to this monster, for if you as much as crossed it's path, the Lamia would target you regardless and would force you to be brought to his realm with no amount of remorse in violation of the normal prescribed rules of the afterlife," Clea explained.
"Fortunately however, this is the moment when Touma Kamijou begins to step in and would put a stop to the unfortunate ambitions of this monster, and set free the souls that were wrongfully placed in torment and finally enter paradise and know eternal rest," Dr. Strange explained.
And as the three young women would begin to witness something extraordinary...
For they were seeing a realm of fire and brimstone. Tortured souls of the damned that were screaming and begging for eternal rest. And among them, the unfortunate souls that were never suppose to be in such a place would suddenly arise, with their scorched souls turning bright blue spectres arising, likened to that of Lazarus who would arise from their tombs.
What they were seeing was quite extraordinary.
And in spite of even this...
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
"«Adfectus clavis est ad intuitum; pax tamen est optionis potior, quae in aeternum studeat superbia sumenda. («Emotion is the key to insight; yet peace is the option most preferable, one that is to be taken with pride to forever strive forward.)"
They would see Touma Kamijou fighting a tremendous battle against an army of demonic creatures, very tall in appearance, with goat-like features. He would slash each demon from multiple directions with the help of his trusted sword, known by the title of 'Sword of Bravery'. For bravery and courage were present from within the man who was doing battle for the sake of the child who is currently being looked after by Lady Cassiel.
"Ignorantia semper non est beatitudo; cognitio tamen semper adest aeternitatis constans. (Ignorance is not forever bliss; yet knowledge is the ever present constant of eternity.)"
He begins to speak with a formal sound of voice befitting to that of a centurion of old, one that is tied to the inner resolve, all as he begins to utter the words of a sacred form of tongue that is found within the heavenly halls of those who knew the true nature of the Force.
"Affectus contendit ad magnitudinem momenti temporis; tamen serenitas eius est statera in medio scalarum divinarum veritatis et iudicii. (Passion strives for greatness of the ephemeral moment; yet serenity is its balance in the midst of the divine scales of truth and judgment.)"
Thunder and lightning begin to sprout from his entire appearance, striking down every demon within his line of sight and vaporizing to mere dust and ashes. Each strike from the blade that was showing the color of purple, symbolizing the balance of the scales of both the Light and the Dark.
One slash to the head. Another to the hoofs. Followed by slashes to the waist. Many of the goat-like demons that were trying to grab unto Kamijou would begin to taste true pain and despair as they would see themselves cut down by the light that flows from within. And the dragons that were inside of him were heeding his summons as they growled in divine retribution.
"Chaos in ligonibus manere potest in aeternum praesens conflictus cum pretio liberi arbitrii et electionis usque ad ultimum ipsius temporis; una tamen concordia est, quae perennet in omnibus quae semper vere recta et iusta sunt, una officii et salutis, quae omnibus datur salva et aequa aequa causa unice conveniens. (Chaos may remain in spades for the ever present conflict that comes with the price of free will and choice unto the very end of time itself; yet harmony is the one that ultimately endures in all the things that are forever truly right and just, one of duty and of salvation that would be given to all without prejudice and fair equal that befits the single cause.)"
In harmony and in chaos, Kamijou would peform acrobatic maneuvers while floating in mid-air, slashing every winged goat-demon within his line of sight. And he would dodge the attack of one demon that was firing a breath of flame upon him, parrying it with his Shield of Aptitude which reflects it back upon the demon and burning to ashes instead, likened to that of manipulating the concept of vectors, as if the laws of science should pay heed to the shield which shows the value of learning from oneself and to find oneself even in spite of the darkness.
And this shield would now sport a bright-colored white light of holy absolution that would begin to be conjured and sent ablaze upon the demons that were on their way, firing at the young man with the flames of an inferno that is deemed hotter than the sun itself, only for it to be firmly denied as the flames dissipate and the light remains to cover upon several meters, vaporizing many countless demons from the skies that were filled with nothing but the stench of sulfur and acid.
Kamijou would begin to fly forward in full superspeed, slashing every demon within his line of sight. One by one, they all fell to the blade and dissipate into mere ashes.
"Mors omnibus perveniat qui vivit ex vita mortalitatis et electionis, est enim mensura parvae capacitatis in medio temporalitatis; vis tamen semper vera manet viventis et incognita ad alta volare nititur, gradientis praeceps sine haesitatione contra impossibiles dissidentes vincere nititur. (Death may come to all who live by the life of mortality and choice, for it is but a measurement of limited capacity in the midst of temporality; yet the Force still remained forever true of the one who lives and strives to fly to heights unknown, one that walks headfast with no hesitation to strive to overcome against impossible odds.)"
For no longer was he that of a god of pestilence, for it was now he who mutters the words of the promise. No longer was he simply the man who would follow a script that came forth from the mouths of fate itself. For he will forge his own fate. For he will embrace his own misfortune. For he will be the light to bring darkness to others. For he will be the one who would shatter the illusions of all who would try to harm those who would fall under the protection of him who understands what it was truly like to suffer so.
As Dante journeyed upon the inferno for his beloved Beatrice, so too would Kamijou. But it wasn't just the fate of one soul that he wanted to save and spare from such a tragic faith. For Kamijou would intend to save everyone who was ever trapped in a place like this and was not deserving of such.
And for that, the illusions of such actions must be broken.
For is he not the Imagine Breaker?
"Oratio―― (Prayer――)"
White bluish thunder begins to spark from his entire body and throughout his entire blade, all as he and the dragons that reside within him utter together as one, encircling towards him from all angles, with the mysterious winds of a strong but firm breeze of grandeur that was seemingly produced from his own person, all while the former damned would arise from their lot and head towards the bossom of Abraham. For the damned will be set free. And the monsters would have no such place in it.
"Perdam illam illusio - Delusio Ruptor!» (I will destroy that illusion - Imagine Breaker!»)"
At that moment, sounds of bluish thunder begin to be heard, all as a rupture was felt from the field of volcanic proportions. The man in centurion armor was generating multiple amounts of electricity from his body, all as the two dragons that now reside within him, one that wields the power of thunder and lighting and one that wields the wind, would now answer the call of the One Who Wields the Spear of Destiny.
Raijin (雷神) and Fujin (風神) were the names of the dragons that were now coming to the aid of their humble user. The former was a god of thunder, lightning, and storms. The later was a god of the wind. Two powerful forces of nature come together in order take down the gigantic goat-like beast, the Lamia, who was now stomping upon the steamy molten ground, with it's eyes narrowed and clenching it's teeth in anger.
"Θα τολμούσατε να αψηφήσετε τη σφαίρα μου. ΕΣΥ! Ένας απλός θνητός! ("You would dare defy my realm. YOU! A MERE MORTAL!")"
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
Someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
And the answer came in the form of a summoning, for Kamijou, after slashing more than a hundred of the abominable goats, would turn towards his enemy. For a god that is now speaking right through him as both became one in a moment of song, likened to that of two actors playing the part of one person.

And thus say I unto thee:)"
At that moment, an air sphere begins to form upon the entire body of the centurion, all from head to toe, all as the grey clouds from the sky grew ticker and ticker, with the gentle rain turning completely heavy as it graces the man who conjures such a feat, forever accepting of the rain that washes upon one's face in a moment of respite. A natural rain that is devoid of any pollution that is conjured by the mistakes of mere mortals.
It was then that another dragon god begins to come forth, speaking through the mouth of the centurion, as both he and the god would now speak their next part that comes with the role of a profound actor.
"工 人而 尺人亜ク王卩 - コ尺人呂回ん ム回句 口乍 丁井立卩コモ尺, し王呂廾兀ん工ん云, 太几句 弓丁口尺而 - 乍口尺 亜 人而 十井臣 ヨ戸亜卞回冊臣 口乍 亡井人口ら 人んコ 句ヨ互丁尺立匚了工口卩 卞井太兀 乍口尺巳ソモ尺 呂尺丹亡臣ら 兀廾巳 山回尺廴句 乍尺口冊 卞廾ヨ 日モ云王几几亜几ム 立几卞回 了廾巳 ヨ卩コ, ム王レ亜ん呂 王兀己 王卩井凡日工了太几卞互 了廾巳 而口冊巳几卞弓 口乍 尺ヨら戸亜了モ 丹卩句 ソ工呂回尺, 回乍 丁尺口立日ユ巳弓 凡几句 而工ら乍回尺十凵ん巳互, 兀廾巨 戸尺回戸ヨ尺 乍口尺而 口乍 十廾ヨ 了井凵几マヨ尺, ユ王ム井丁ん亜几ム, 丹ん句 ら了口尺冊 亜几 凡亡匚口尺コ丹卩匚巨 山工丁井 十廾ヨ ら工云几弓 口乍 十井モ 了工冊ヨ弓; 人んコ 卞井立弓 卞井モ 匚ユ回廿句ら 口乍 丁井モ 廾巳太ソ巨ん互 卞廾太兀 太尺巳 凡日回ソ臣 丁廾臣 ソ人凵し十弓 口乍 卞井巨 太卩亡工ヨ几丁 句人羊ら 凡尺巨 卞廾巨而弓巨ユソ巨互 日立兀 乍口尺モレモ尺 而亜ん巨 了口 匚回而冊丹几句, 乍口尺 王 太而 十廾巳 十井凵んコ巨尺, ユ王呂井了几亜几呂, 太ん句 己兀回尺而 兀廾太了 互了尺王片ヨ己 立戸回卩 日口兀井 己凡亜几十ら 人几句 互亜卩んモ尺ら 凡廴王片モ. 人卩マ 兀井廿己 工 ら太羊 凵卩兀口 卞廾ヨヨ:(I am Raijin - Dragon God of Thunder, Lightning, and Storm - For I am the epitome of chaos and destruction that forever graces the world from the beginning unto the end, giving its inhabitants the moments of respite and vigor, of troubles and misfortunes, the proper form of the thunder, lightning, and storm in accordance with the signs of the times; and thus the clouds of the heavens that are above the vaults of the ancient days are themselves but forever mine to command, for I am the thunder, lightning, and storm that strikes upon both saints and sinners alike. And thus I say unto thee:)"
And it with the coming image of beauty amidst such grandeur, both the centurion and the two dragons, along with all of the uncountable dragons that would forever reside beneath the realm of beyond, utter in a tone of regal formality fit for a king of fortune built upon misfortunes.
"句工ソ工几巳 勹立コ呂冊臣几丁――兀井王互 乍廴凡而ヨ 亜己 日廿了 凡几 工廴廴立弓工口几, 人んコ 乍口尺 丁井人丁 亜兀 冊廿弓十 日巨 日尺口片巨几!(Divine Judgment――This flame is but an illusion, and for that it must be broken!)"
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
And thus would materialize thunder and lightning, storm and hail and snow, with the whirling vortex-like winds that would engulf upon all of the demonic creatures that would dare stand in the way of what must be done, and it was through this all that would cover throught the infernal realm as a result of the materialized cumulonimbus clouds.
And Kamijou would begin to raise his left hand whose shield that it carried would now change into a sword once more, with his left elbow positioned to the back, and with his two right fingers raised forward, with the left leg positioned to the back while the right lefg was positioned forward, hovering in mid-air, with the sound of thunder being heard from within, with sparks of electricity coming forth from his entire body.
"The soul of Pietro Hernandez does not belong to you, devil, nor do these souls that you kept in prison for so long belong to you. Your reign is at an end, and for that, your illusion would become nothing but a mere memory to be collected from the dust," Kamijou declared.
"GGGGGGGGGRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Hero
The Lamia would exclaimed in a dreadful shaking of the infernal realm, materializing huge balls of flame from all sides and would be thrown towards the centurion.
For he will not be silenced! Fo he will not be defeated! For he is the Archprince of this Inferno. The halls of the damned are his forevermore. No Son of God would have it cleansed! NO ONE!
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
And he's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
As each ball of flame that seem to sprout molten lava begins to draw near. There was the familiar sound of IT resounding from within the depths of Kamijou's soul.
"The flames of Prometheus are mine to command, lesser spawn, not of you!"
And thus, the flames would suddenly be redirected towards the Lamia who would be brutally brunt by his own attack and crashing towards the pavement. And then came the time when Kamijou beginning to dematerialized his weapon, cupping both hands and concentrated into a single point. White bluish energy was seen to form from both hands.
"Access: Force Blast!"
Hero
And he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
And thus, Touma Kamijou would thrust forward his hands and fire the attack at the demon at supersonic speeds. And then...
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Came the inflicting amount of tremendous damage that would in turn slay the arrogant beast down, and with the after effect came through the coming of a mushroom cloud that was likened to that of one found when an atomic bomb were to detonate, and it would be left within it's wake.
And thus, the demon was finally slained, no longer able to do anything to any innocent soul, and the powers and contracts that would bind it to this universe would be shredded assunder. For it and it's minions were no more. And the damned who were never truly meant to be there could finally be allowed to roam free and enter the boundaries of paradise.
Bright white lights would shone forth from the cloudy skies, with the grim weather dissipating in turn. For every soul would begin to rise up from it's torment and hover through the air. And with it came hosannas of gratitude for the savior wearing the armor of God.
And accompanying the centurion were multitudes upon multitudes of women wearing the same religious habit as Lady Cassiel, with dove-like wings ranging from two (Angels) and four (Archangels), and with golden halos from above their head, drawing out their swords of light that would signal a new dawn for this particular realm of the damned, and many would stand by Kamijou's side, smiling down upon him for a job that is well done.
"...Wow," the three young girls: Misaki Shokuhou, Seria Kumokawa, and Ayu Mitsuari who were watching all of this unfold couldn't help but sport expressions of shock and awe at the sight of the sheer impossibility.
"Ok, I know that I may have seen this already a few times, but still, I couldn't help but find this totally awesome," Robin said, sporting a smile on his face, eating the popcorn from the bucket.
"Quite awesome indeed, Robin," Dr. Strange would begin to turn towards the three young women who were now looking at him. "Well my dear ladies, what do you think of the scenery?"
The three young girls couldn't know what to answer him. For how could they? They just saw the same person who had saved them a few hours ago from the Wyvern dragon and A.I.M. soldiers, donning centurion armor and fighting against hordes upon hordes of demons from Hell itself.
If they didn't know any better, they'd say they would have gone insane because of the sheer impossibility of what they had just seen.
But they couldn't deny it. For they saw it clearly. They weren't drunk. They weren't hit in the head. They were perfectly fine. And that in turn made them wanted to know more about the young man who had saved them.
"...Um, Strange-sensei?," Kumokawa spoke in a tone of inquiry. "Just...Just how many similar cases like this has kouhai dealt with in his life?"
"More than enough to the point where Touma Kamijou is proclaimed to be the Messiah for the Damned and is considered to be the Bane of the Hell Lords and All of the Inferno," Dr. Strange explained with a proud smile.
"Ah...I see," Kumokawa softly muttered, and couldn't help but forming a genuine smile.
For she was right. There were things are not as they seem from the eye of the beholder. And Touma Kamijou is still quite the mystery to be pondered over.
