- Death and Lucifer -

The group left at sunrise through the elven woods of Verdyr. This territory's forest was far less obscuring than Vázoluna's, with light shining the whole way through. While the elves rule Verdyr the entirety of the territory is actually a cluster of various lands ruled by different gods and creatures. Verdyr was simply the quickest route.

The group had no problems traveling through with the only time loss happening from elves coming up and asking about the fight the night before.

"Duel's code." Death and Lucifer had to repeat at nauseam.

The elves were naturally curious of all travelers. The lush green surroundings were peppered with cloaked figures pointing and whispering. It was an unsettling sight for Elijah, but the rest were just annoyed by it.

"You'd think we were dragons with how blatant they're being about their curiosity." Lucifer joked.

    - Death -Death arrived in Oliver's camp. There were various tents setup all over, with a large one in the center. The two grim that were close by turned and bowed."Leave the formalities for now, is Oliver here?" Death waved."I didn't expect you to be here so soon sir. I thought you would still be in Verdyr, talking with the fairy rulers." Oliver said as he came out of the large tent.Oliver was 5'8" tall, with brown hair and pale skin. He had a slim build with brown eyes, and was wearing a cloak that looked similar to Death's robe."Decided against meeting with them. I think I slowed this mission down enough with the frequent political stops." Death looked around at the staring grim and mentally sighed."Have you seen the unknown? Lucifer is currently searching the center of the city." Death asked.Oliver shook his head.&

    - Lucifer -Lucifer couldn't help but stare at the unknown before him. They're facial features and monotone voice made it difficult to confidently tell what gender they were. This combined with the fact that everyone he had heard refer to the unknown always used "they" or "them" didn't help.The unknown was 6'1" with long light brown hair and an almost snow-white skin tone. Lucifer understood why some might think they're an angel."You wanted to meet me first, here I am, so now please do me the kindness of telling me why you don't want to talk to Death?"The unknown's eyes were similar to Lucifer's in a way, almost like they were mirroring his stare. They spoke in a soft monotone voice."I disagree with his beliefs. A fact I'm sure would make negotiations difficult if I revealed it to him.""What makes you think it won't make this talk difficult? I happen to

    - Death -Death could feel his echo recieving a call. He assumed it was Lucifer."Lucifer? Is everything okay? I'll be right there!"The demon bartender looked over at Death."No! Just stay with the team. If anything happens up there I'm trusting you with their safety." Lucifer ended the call.The rumblings of the explosion could be felt in the tavern. The bartender raised their palm from behind the counter and shot an explosive orb at the group. Peter caught it and Sabu threw a knife in-between the demon's eyes.Peter shot the magic at the wall behind the counter and pulled out his sword. He stabbed the demon's corpse in the head and tossed the knife back to Sabu."Durable fuckers. Ya can never be too sure."Death wanted to run down and help Lucifer until he got another call."It must be Oliver."

    - Lucifer -"I'm going to need some identifiers for your people. I'd prefer not hitting my temporary allies." Lucifer asked Kahvis."I suspected as much. My people all have a marking on the back of their clothes in the shape of three blue circles." Kahvis told Lucifer.The man from before removed his cloak and showed the design to Lucifer.'I wonder what significance those hold?' Lucifer wondered as he went through the door.The three came out of the building and watched the scattering beings. There were large orcs and four-horned demons walking around with weapons trying to find the culprit of the explosions."I'll follow your lead for now. I'm not sure exactly who I should be killing here." Lucifer said."Four-horns and large orcs are slave masters. Oni are bodyguards. There are a few lycans and elves we need to look out for in the shad

    - Lucifer -The three leaders were giving chase to Lucifer. Fenral as a black wolf, with water flowing behind him as he ran. Lysandrea in a tall tower, wearing thigh-high black boots and a green corset, her blonde hair tied up into a long ponytail. Garuuk flying above, wearing a blood-stained black lab coat. The three had assumed that Lucifer was their biggest threat, so they didn't hesitate committing all their strength to chasing him down.Flying while being chased by the three leaders was taxing on Lucifer. He removed the flames from his arms, attempting to focus solely on maneuverability. Unlike Sol this area's buildings weren't as tight, on top of that he was being chased by two demigod level threats, with one full god providing them support. As the explosions from Garuuk filled the area around him, Lucifer felt a nostalgia for his old angelic flying challenges he used to do with Michael in Heaven. These warmer memories helped mitigate

    - Lucifer -Lucifer had trained to be able to cast magic regardless of pain, but even he couldn't ignore the excruciating pulses coming from his chest. Fenral's punctures combined with the melted flesh were a constant source of agony. Trying to use anything more complicated than basic attacks would be risky until he got healed.The approaching heavy footsteps of the enemy forces annoyed Lucifer more than scaring him.'Can't give me one fucking second?'Lucifer kept explosive orbs ready, not trusting his usual speed in this situation. He planned on baiting the body. Garuuk's death wouldn't be obvious until they were close, which would give him the perfect chance."Master Garuuk?" One of the demons walked over to the body and stumbled back after seeing that the former leader's head had been splattered.Lucifer took this chance and released the orbs into the cro

    - Peter -Peter looked around at the destruction, sure it must have been Lucifer's victory. Still, he was wary, watching every corner he could, keeping his blade ready to strike at anytime. Hearing something getting closer Peter pointed his sword in the sound's direction, frightening the resistance soldier that came to meet him.The soldier gripped each arm's wrist with the opposite hand, a sign meant to show non-aggression."I'm a resistance soldier. This floor is mostly cleared out already. Lucifer and our leader are down in the pleasure district finishing the mission."Peter wasn't taking any chances. He would need more proof from the man before him before he lowered his guard even slightly."I'm gonna need more proof than your word. I was attacked on my way in here, so forgive me for my skepticism." Peter's tone showed a clear distrust.The resistance sol

    - Death and Lucifer -Lucifer explained everything that happened from when he spoke with Kahvis to his use of grand finale on the business district. Kahvis had left with their team to find out the casualties. The team stayed outside of the tavern while Lucifer and Death discussed inside."That's everything." Lucifer said, sitting across from Death in the tavern.Death gave a judgemental stare. His displeasure with Lucifer's actions was only barely outweighed by his relief that his friend is okay. He felt himself caught in-between two lines of thinking: yelling at Lucifer for his recklessness, and cautioning him to be more careful. He decided on the latter."You started a war because of an unknown you just met, nearly killed yourself by flying straight into an explosive barrage, and you think that's it for your explanation?" Death reprimanded."We won, I lived, so don't act high-a

    - Elijah and Lao -(After Death called Satan)Lao, Heinrich, Yvere, Sabu, and Elijah were heading towards Bolotano with everyone else."You don't have to fight," Lao said."Why are you telling me this?" Elijah sighed. "I know, but I have a feeling there won't be an actual choice.""I wanted to thank you, for Sol." Lao looked at the ground. "And...say that I'm sorry for how I've come across.""You're fine." Elijah shrugged. "I don't mean any offense by this; we're not friends. We've practically just met and you clearly have a lot to deal with on average.""I...I, sorry." Lao stopped.Elijah knew what Lao was trying to do. He hated the situation he was in, leading to him forgetting about the rest of the team's problems. He had the least to lose among all of them, and yet he was acting as if he had it the worst.&

    - Moloch and Baal -(After Lucifer sent the group back to Hell)Moloch and Baal were discussing over an echo call about their alliance with Satan."Can we really trust him?" Moloch asked, stroking his beard."Bit late to question it now?" Baal grunted. "We could win without his help, so I'm not overly invested in his strength.""Mmmmm." Moloch hummed. "Don't you think the timing is strange?""His timing is always strange." Baal laughed. "Why are you so concerned about this?"Moloch paused. He was worried about himself more than anything. He had questioned his alliance with even Baal in the past, so this trepidation was nothing new."We lost the Underground," Moloch growled. "I don't like the way things are going.""Like I said-" Baal sighed. "-bit late to question it now."'Is

    - Lucifer and Kahvis -Lucifer and Kahvis were on their own at the front of the right army, with Death being alone on the left. The two were channeling magic as they walked, Lucifer's arms were covered in explosive orbs, and Kahvis was holding two orbs of electricity. Kahvis had switched to a black shirt with three linked blue circles on the back, with black pants. The two were walking through the destroyed headquarters. Kahvis looked around at the area, confused by what happened."I don't have time to explain." Lucifer said."It doesn't matter." Kahvis responded.The two kept moving forward. They were meant to spearhead the demon armies along with Death. They would need to deal massive damage first, or the resistance's army would simply be overwhelmed. It didn't help that the average demon soldier is stronger than the average human. The odds of the battle went through Lucifer's mind one last time be

    - Satan, Moloch, Baal -(Morning after last chapter)"Like I told you before, you need to start your attack now." Satan said into the echo. "If you don't keep them from digging deeper in Bolotano we won't win this.""You care about winning and yet you sent a messenger to them!" Moloch spat."I want a proper battle-" Satan's voice started to sound like a mix of anger and excitement. "-not some facade of one. You're lucky you have my help, now don't waste it.""Can you at least tell us how long it will take for your forces to pincer them?" Baal asked."No...too easy." Satan said with a smile. "Who knows, maybe you'll win without me? Wouldn't that be something?" Satan leaned away and whispered. "Though I wouldn't bet on it...""Once this is all over we should come to your side of the world and return the favor." Baal said.

    - Saint, Death, Lucifer -Lucifer wanted to help Saint, but he was scared that he might draw Death's aggression. He thought it would be better if he waited and only stepped in if it seemed like Saint was about to lose.Death rapidly blinked to Saint. He was on her in a moment, gripping his hand around her throat and lifting her off the ground. He was readying to slam her down when he felt both her feet kicking into him. The blow was strong enough to send him back once more.What followed looked like a white light crashing against a shadow. Death had strength and speed, Saint had technique. Their fight started to destroy the resistance's evacuated headquarters, causing the sound of breaking stone to fill the air.Death grabbed Saint's arm and threw her through multiple huts. He appeared above her, attempting to stomp her face. She dodged the attack and struck Death's smoke hidden face. She exchanged b

    - Lucifer -Lucifer had stayed in the hut long after Death left. He had been staring at the board endlessly, to the point that he could see images of it when he blinked. The scenarios he had run through in his head had pervaded all of his other thoughts. Even thinking about the five traveling to Heliopolis would be interrupted by a connecting thought of how he would deal with their respective magics.These thoughts combined with the fact that he was in two minds about having Peter stay around made it difficult for him to think about much else. He trusted Peter's strength, but couldn't help picturing him die. The true risk of this war had set in. It wasn't that he had thought things would go perfectly fine, and everyone would get a happy ending, just that he had confidence from his prior victory in the Underground.He pictured Kahvis attending to the friends and loved ones of those who died in the raid, and wondered what

Moloch sustained the velocity of the vortex with one hand while using the other to explode the insides of the stone pillar David and Sabu were on.Lao rushed towards Moloch. Moloch flicked his hand toward Lao, causing blood spikes to shoot up from the ground. Lao jumped over the attack and kept moving.Lao sent a quick right punch speed towards Moloch. His fist connected with Moloch's smiling face.Moloch quickly opened his hand. Blood spikes shot from his cloak into Lao. He was overjoyed in what he thought was a victory, until he saw the reborn's face.Lao had blocked his head and heart from receiving hits. He was still deeply wounded, but he wasn't done moving.

    - Lucifer and David -(Before the main story)"I'm telling you to be more careful." Lucifer was warning David. "Double affinities don't make you invincible.""I can't afford to be more careful." David said.David was 5"9'. He had dark shaggy black hair that matched his scraggly beard. He had a slim frame that made him appear younger. He was wearing a black shirt and thick brown pants. His irises were a bright yellow color."I'm telling you this because I don't want you dragging Peter into making bad decisions." Lucifer sighed.The two were approached by a reborn woman."You two ready?" Emily asked."Hopefully." Lucifer said in David's direction.Emily was a shorter woman, standing 5"5'. Her brown hair was crew cut, and her face seemed to be permanently scrunched. She was wearing a green cloak and

    - Death and Oliver -"You okay sir?" Oliver said from afar to Death."I'll be fine." Death mumbled.Oliver didn't have much interaction with Death before their meeting in Passage. He was secretly excited to get the chance to speak with him. He was going to ask if he could practice with him until he saw Death's training. It was different, it seemed more purposeful, as though he was imagining someone as he swung the scythe.'Can't imagine practicing with that.' Oliver scratched the back of his head.Death was trying to quiet everything around him. What mattered to him now was staying focused. He couldn't practice his riding with Hrom so he was stuck with just weapon and image training. So long as he kept his eyes closed he wouldn't see the eyes of the crowd and most of them wouldn't dare say anything if they thought he could hear them.Oliver was looking around
