Ken was now so grievously embarrassed that he could not even look at Emilia. The weight of his actions and his harsh words mixed with empathy weighed heavily on him, causing his shoulders to slump and his head to sink into his folded hands. Tears streamed down his face, his silent sobs echoing in the dimly lit den.

Emilia, too, understood the pain of regret and the heavy burden of one's past actions. Though she kept her gaze averted, her cheeks were stained with her own silent tears, mirroring the emotions that gripped her heart.

"Don't cry, fool," Emilia murmured softly, her voice barely audible.

Ken gathered the courage to speak, his voice quivering with sincerity as he looked up at Emilia. "I am sorry, Emilia," he said, his voice laced with genuine remorse. "Your pain is just too much for me to handle, and the burden of me judging you is making it even worse. I am so sorry."

Emilia, could feel the genuine remorse etched across his face, and it tugged at her heartstrings. Her own p

    But it did not attack, Ken and Emilia also stopped their counterattack. The devil's laughter echoed through the chamber, reverberating against the stone walls. Its amusement at their audacity was palpable, a chilling reminder of its power and malevolence."Sit down," the devil ordered, its voice dripping with smug superiority. Ken and Emilia exchanged a quick glance before complying, not out of submission, but to buy themselves a moment to assess the situation. They knew that engaging in a conversation with a devil was the most unusual, yet they also understood the potential value of gathering information."You guys do not fear me even with the low amount of power, and I like that," the devil sneered, its eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and curiosity.Ken couldn't help but chuckle at the devil's comment. "Do you really think we're here for idle chit-chat?" he retorted, a glimmer of mischief dancing in his eyes. His laughter was laced with a hint of defiance, a reminder that

"There is none," the devil replied, its voice resonating with a haunting finality. Ken's brows furrowed, and a flicker of frustration passed through his eyes. "What are you implying?" he pressed, his tone a mix of urgency and disbelief."I am simply saying that it is more of a two-way contract than a curse just inflicted," the devil explained, its words lingering in the shadows. The revelation cast a dark shadow over their understanding of Violet's affliction. "Either your friend ends the contract herself or... you kill your friend to end her misery.""A contract?" The word echoed through the chamber, a chilling realization settling over Ken and Emilia. The air seemed charged with an otherworldly tension as the implications of their quest took an unforeseen turn."Let's leave fo

    Emilia's confident words echoed in Ken's mind as he watched her stride towards the looming silhouette of the temple. The weight of her determination hung in the air, juxtaposed against the subtle unease that gnawed at Ken's nerves. "Hey Ken, the temple is just ahead," her voice, laced with assurance, drifted back to him. "You know what, this is something I can easily handle. I've told you about the training I've been doing since childhood. I know I got this."Ken couldn't deny the truth in her words. Emilia had always been fiercely independent, honing her skills with a dedication that bordered on obsession. Yet, as he glanced at the temple's imposing facade, a sense of apprehension tightened his chest. The air crackled with an undercurrent of uncertainty, heightened by the lurking presence they both sensed trailing behind them."I also think you've noticed that we are being tailed. It's most probably Lilith," Emilia continued, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial tone. "So I suggest

    Zack and Petra moved cautiously towards the Mountains of Purity, their pace deliberately slow to avoid detection by enemies. The path was treacherous, filled with steep inclines and narrow trails that wound through dense forests and rocky terrains. Their eyes scanned the surroundings for any signs of danger, each step taken with calculated precision.As they reached the halfway point, the sun dipped below the horizon, and the chill of night began to settle in. The air grew colder, and a faint mist started to envelop the path ahead. Realizing the need for shelter, they decided to camp in a nearby cave, the darkness and cold making further travel impossible.Inside the cave, the flickering light of a small fire cast shadows on the walls, creating an eerie yet comforting ambiance. Zack and Petra settled down, the warmth of the fire a welcome respite from the biting cold outside.Zack broke the silence, his voice filled with curiosity. "Why does it feel like we know each other from before

    With a sense of relief, Lilith moved to the wall and retrieved a picture, holding it out for Ken and Emilia to see. Their expressions shifted from curiosity to shock as they gazed at the image, their minds racing with unanswered questions.Lilith took a deep breath, sensing the weight of the revelation settling over them, before taking a seat nearby. "This," she whispered, her voice barely above a murmur, "is something you need to see."Emilia squinted at the picture, her eyes widening as she recognized a young Violet standing beside Lilith. "Is that... Violet?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.Lilith nodded weakly. "Yes, she... she's my twin sister. There's so much you need to know about her, about our past, but..." Her voice wavered, the strain of the confession evident.Ken's eyes darted between Lilith and the photograph. "What do you mean? Why haven't we heard about this before?"Lilith took another deep breath, her strength fading. "Violet... she... be careful... trust.

    Emilia turned to Ken, her expression serious. "We should take her to headquarters. Petra mentioned before leaving that we should report everything to HQ. It almost slipped my mind, but now I think she foresaw something."Ken nodded, his concern evident. "Alright. We shouldn't waste any more time; she isn't looking very good. Can't you try to heal her?""I can try, but..." Emilia hesitated, a troubled look crossing her face. "There's something about her aura all of a sudden that's telling me not to do it, but I'll still try."She knelt beside Lilith and began to channel her healing energy. As she did, a strange sensation coursed through her. Emilia's hands started to bleed, the pain sharp and unexpected."Leave it, Emilia!" Ken exclaimed urgently. "We can't afford to have our only healer in bad shape. Heal your hands."Emilia reluctantly stopped, her hands trembling as she withdrew her energy. "You're right," she murmured, quickly tending to her own wounds.Ken carefully lifted Lilith,

    Back to Present"Thank you, Ma'am Suzan. And I'd personally like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Daniel and Miss Sophia too. Her visions—they’ve always been the stuff of legend, but today, they literally saved us," Petra said with heartfelt sincerity.Suzan smiled warmly. "You’re just like your uncle, Seth. Always strong in the face of difficulties," she remarked, her eyes twinkling with admiration.Petra returned the smile, but the atmosphere was somber. Zack, tormented by guilt over Petra’s injury, wore a look of deep sorrow. He felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility for the loss of her arm.Reading his troubled mind, Petra spoke gently, "Zack, please don’t blame yourself for this. It pains me to see you suffer because of my injury. It’s our will that matters, not the loss of a limb or two."Zack looked at her, eyes filled with regret, and nodded slowly, trying to ease the weight of guilt from his heart.Suzan sighed, her eyes reflecting the turmoil of the recent events.

    "Let's leave this lair," Suzan said with resolute determination, pulling the devil along by the chains that bound him.She then turned to Zack. "Carry the woman and her child," she instructed. "They need to be moved to safety."Zack nodded in understanding. With careful and gentle movements, he lifted the injured woman and her child, securing them in his arms. With them safely cradled, they stepped through the shimmering gateway.Petra and Zack both nodded in agreement. Suzan then pulled a compact device from her pocket and pressed a button. Instantly, a gateway materialized, leading them back to the serene and majestic Mountains of Purity."We need to report all of this to headquarters," Suzan said firmly. "This is a matter of great significance.""Mom, how were you able to use your powers inside that lair?" Zack asked as they began their journey. "And how did you manage to find it? Most importantly, how did you get inside?""Yes, ma'am, please clarify," Petra added, her voice faint

    Zack's fury intensified with each passing second, his attacks becoming more relentless. Blood spewed from the devil's mouth with every devastating blow. "Magnificent," the devil wheezed, clearly impressed by Zack's extraordinary power. "At such a young age, you wield such strength. You'd make a formidable monster.""Shut up! I'm no mosnter like you," Zack retorted, his voice thick with rage, delivering a punch that sent the devil crashing into the ground."Zack, he'll die! He's human. How do we...?" Petra's voice was faint, barely audible through her pain."Yeah, she's right. You wouldn't kill a human, would you? After all, it's your job to protect humanity," the devil sneered, his condition growing increasingly dire.Zack, undeterred by Petra's plea, continued his assault. "Well, I don't CONSIDER YOU A HUMAN!" he roared, his fists smashing into the devil's face. Blood spattered onto Zack's face, mingling with his tears of rage. He pounded away, driven by a relentless fury."You are j

    Despite Zack's continuous struggle, the barrier didn’t budge. Petra was in intense pain, every second feeling like an eternity. The devil leaned closer to her, his voice dripping with mockery. “Your resilience is something else. I wish you were on my side, but it isn't too late, is it? I know your true potential, and I can unleash it. There’s no one in this world who doesn’t like power and authority, and I have both. I can give them to you. What do you say?”Petra, barely holding on, gritted her teeth and replied, “All power and authority belong to God, and you belong to hell.”“Oh yeah?” the devil said loudly, his voice filled with malice. He twisted her arm with such force that the bone snapped, and the arm came off. The child's face was splattered with her blood, and Petra cried and shrieked in pain so hard that her voice echoed through the eerie landscape.The devil, unfazed by Petra’s defiance, glanced at Zack with a smirk. “You see how futile your efforts are? This is what happe

    "Show yourselves! We know you are watching, and there’s not only one of you. Unfortunately, we don’t have time for your hide and seek!" Zack shouted into the eerie silence.After a moment of tension, a child came running from a distance, visibly terrified. As he got closer, Zack and Petra saw that his forehead was bleeding. The child barely managed to reach Zack before collapsing, his plea barely audible: "Save my mom, please."Petra rushed to the child, her eyes widening in fear as she tried to use her healing abilities. "I can’t use my healing power here!" she exclaimed, panic creeping into her voice. She quickly reached into the bag hanging around her neck and pulled out a potion, applying it to the child's forehead, hoping it would help.Zack, baffled by Petra’s inability to use her powers, attempted to gather energy in his palm but found himself unable to do so. Just then, a cloaked figure emerged, dragging a woman who appeared to be the child's mother. As the figure drew closer,
