"A hunter in Devil's Den," The Devil's flame whispered, before he enlarged his flame, reaching the surface of the ceiling as he commanded the guards, "What are you looking at? Kill him!"
Jaquer tugged the lower part of his robe between his thighs, before jumping from the surface of the tomb and landing right at the foot of the cemented floor, the dust on the ground flew from the impact, while the hem of the Flame Flower fabric fluttered.
The guards, huge bodies with tight muscles and horns above their heads, dashed towards Jaquer through the thin lane connecting the base of the tomb and the circumference area where the demon officials sat.
Five at once. The guards attacked him all together, but Jaquer's sword, glinting with the magical light of his mana, beheaded the demons with one circular motion.
When they lay disabled on the ground with their bodies separated from their head, the hunter pierced the area between the eyes and, one by one, kicked the heads into the lava pool.
The remaining body on the base of the tomb burst into sparks and disappeared.
Next a large group of guards scrambled towards the hunter.
Jaquer positioned his sword but fighting them would gain him nothing but will cost his mana.
Hence he turned his head and glanced at Venor, rising his brows signalling the demon to counter their plan.
Venor snapped his finger before teleporting right next to Jaquer, held his hips before soaring above the battleground.
The motive of their visit to the parliament was not to provoke the Devil but steal valuables from the den.
Firstly, steal the blood of demon officials and next, the most important task, steal the Crimson Seal.
With hands at Jaquer's hips, Venor bypassed the miscellaneous guards and landed right before the table of one the officials'.
Demon officials were stronger than mere humans, but against hunters, they were mere piece of struggle.
Hair fluttering wildly with the air stirring inside the hall, Jaquer took his sword and pierced the heart of an unknown official's.
While Venor rose his hand and summoned a spherical shaped crimson torch, which extracted the blood from the demon's heart towards itself like an absorbing pill.
The hunter and the demon went on rampage, while they flew from seat to seat and collected bloods, stabbing one demon after another.
The remaining officials knew what was coming for. But poor them didn't had a path to ran away. They stood from their seats and screamed at Gayter.
"Gayter, teleport us to entrance!"
The musician demon sat lazily around the corner beside the tomb.
His eyes covered with boredom as he watched the chaos unfold before him. The demon lifted his hand and checked his nails and picked the dirt inside them before flicking it off his finger, onto the lava.
He was not working under them to pull his string whenever they felt like, unless, the Devil ordered him.
The musician demon glanced at the Devil whose eyes flared at the duo on their hunting mission.
Gayter smirked as he folded his right knee above the floating seat, while his left leg dangled above the lava.
"Devil! Devil, My Lord, save us." The poor demon officials begged, kneeling towards the devil's flame.
The devil on the other hand, surprisingly looked at the bold act of the demon and hunter with amusement.
He roared with laughter as his flame form swirl into a tornado inside the tomb before it fwoosh into magical blue sparks, before a figure, looking almost as identical as Venor levitated between the sparks.
Venor and Jaquer halted their side for a moment as they tilted their head towards the Devil.
From Jaquer's view, his physical form had thicker and well-maintained long hair, two red horn protruding near his temple, while his chest remained uncovered with runes drawn over his skin, with trousers hanged low below his hips.
A faint blue hue glowed beneath his shoes, imitating a wheel, with white trailing starlight, encircling the blue light.
The Devil's crimson eyes glowered at Venor and Jaquer, before the crimson torch from Venor's hand flew away from his hold and fell over them like stardust after explosion.
"You dared to bring a hunter to my den, are you a dumb mutt or a daring bitch?" Even his voice carried the hint of Venor's.
"What do you think, Lucifer?" Venor lowered Jaquer to the table, before carrying him like a princess, as he did earlier.
"Hold me tight, little thing." Even though unwilling at initial stage, Jaquer held tightly into Venor's collar before Venor leaped and jumped into the walls of the den.
Meanwhile, the Devil's hair coiled up like a serpent with a snake-shape end, attacking the area where the duo stood a moment ago and left blue fumes on the metallic table.
Venor ran on the walls as with Jaquer tightly gripped on his nape.
The hunter's gold chain, out of the clothes hold, dance lightly at his nape like a gentle butterfly.
The attacked lauched by Lucifer were fast and frantic, but Venor was faster.
He leaped back, and jumped ahead the next, back to back and avoided the snake shape hair at any cost.
Venor was sure, if Lucifer wanted, he can shove them into the lave but a smirk appeared on Venor's face as he exactly knew, why Lucifer cannot do that.
Meanwhile, Jaquer eyes scanned the lauched attacks and without being used to such frantic moment in this position, his head started to wobble and the food he ate this morning, threatened to come out.
Finally, the Devil stopped attacking. He smiled at the sweat drenched Venor, confirming his mana was decreasing to an end point, with an inability to fight further.
His legs occasionally slipped from the walls and with Jaquer weight, balancing on the tilted surface became a hard task.
The Devil stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at Gayter, clapped his hands with large claws two times with a tempo.
Gayter who remained a minor character in the whole show, smile at Devil's attention and plucked the instrument with his dirty nails.
"Re--Re-Do Re--Re-Do" Venor whispered the tune in Jaquer's ears as the hunter was suddenly pulled out of his grasp. (These are music notes- do re mi fa so la ti do)
Below, the lava on the ground opened its mouth before Jaquer was sucked into the void within lava like oyester sucked out its shell.
Venor, finally loosing all his mana, slipped on the ground.
The demon lifted his chin, grinned with his teeth reaching his eyes and lifted his right hand, profoundly positioning his middle finger towards Lucifer.
He watched Lucifer's body disappear with a flick of light, before appear in front of his face and smashing the demon commander's head against the den's wall with a single blow of his bare hand.
