While everyone in the castle was fighting the demons and the half-angels who belonged to the living world, they had failed to notice that Lucy had been badly injured and was on the ground as blood flowed out of her body.

Ethan had been packing his things in his room, placing them in the trunk with some of the servant's help when he heard the crash and screams coming from outside his room. He had immediately stepped out of the room with a dagger in his hand, wondering if there was an attack when he found a pile of bodies decorating the floors of the castle.

When he finally entered the corridor where Lucy's room was located, he caught sight of Samuel, and he glared at the man, "Samuel."

Samuel rolled his eyes on the sight of Ethan, "Oh, look at that. I didn't know you were here. It must be obvious considering I am not here, you must have come here to lick my wife's wounds. You must have little to no pride, do you, Ethan?"

Ethan, who was glaring at Samuel, his eyes moved to catch sight of Lucy, who didn't move, and for a moment, his face turned pale before anger took over his features. When Ethan came to attack Samuel, all the demon had to do was raise his hand and wave it to the side to have the vampire crash against a nearby wall. He then picked up the icicle that was previously used on him to push it into Ethan's stomach so that the vampire wouldn't be able to move.

Around the same time, two people were walking more leisurely than the rest of the people in the castle as if they were taking a stroll in the garden. One was a man who looked like he was in his thirties, his eyes blood red that looked at the walls before he spotted the person he had been looking for since he had stepped into the castle.

Another was a lean man who fell short in height compared to his master, walking behind him.

"Odin, go to Hell. Have the demons souls who have been found here placed in a different cell. I would personally like to deal with them once I will be done with this girl and the King," said the taller man.

"What do I do after that, Master?" asked the servant.

"Go to Belmont and wait for me. Soon I will bring the girl there," and on hearing the words from his master, the servant was quick to disappear in thin air.

The man stepped into another open-like corridor where one side was the wall, and the other side was left open to step into the inner garden of the castle. He took a deep breath where the air was filled with the scent of death when he caught sight of the girl, but she was not alone as there was a fool who seemed like he wanted to take her from the castle.

In a blink of an eye, the devil appeared to stand between the girl and the demon.

"Who the f.u.c.k are you now?" demanded Samuel.

This foolish little imbecile demon, thought the devil as he looked down at the worthless being questioning him. His eyes glowed redder.

"And where have you lost your manners. I thought it was going to be just me here tonight, but there's a whole lot of celebration going on here."

"Who are you?!" Samuel raised the rod that he was carrying to the front, "Leave this place and never come back again. Now."

"F.u.c.k off from here before you make me a little angry," came the cold words from the devil.

Ethan, who was in pain, watched the stranger and Samuel talking while Samuel looked angry. He tried to get the icicle away from out of his stomach, but as much as he tried, the rod had gone deep into his stomach, and if he would pull it out, he would only bleed profusely from it.

From where he was he saw Lucy who hadn't moved, and he couldn't believe she was dead.

"I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you! Let go of my hand!" ordered Samuel as the stranger had caught and twisted his arm.

Samuel grinned when the man let go of his hand, and he was ready to attack the person, but the older vampire caught hold of Samuel's other hand and ripped it off from his body. "There, I let it go."

The lower demon's eyes widened, and his face turned red because of the surging pain of losing his arm, and blood spurted out of his arm. He screamed in pain, gritting his teeth before bringing his hand up to attack.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said the devil to rip the other hand and Samuel couldn't take the pain anymore. He saw the man place his finger on his chest, and before he knew it, blood started to come out of his mouth.

"Seems like a lot of bad blood. Let's get you clean, and I shall see you later in Hell."

Suddenly fear appeared in Samuel's eyes as he stared at the stranger who hadn't moved. His blood felt like it was boiling underneath his skin as if it wanted to come out "Wh-what did you d-" within a second, he felt his body ripping and being torn into molecules of water while he screamed in agony.

Samuel, who had felt the pain in every inch of his body, noticed how the pain had stopped, and he suddenly opened his eyes to find himself not in the castle anymore but somewhere else.

He was right now in a cage-like room, and he looked around to see some of his companions whom he had seen in the castle earlier. His arms looked perfectly fine, and he wondered if it was a dream. Catching sight of a demon who held a parchment and was walking outside these cells, Samuel went to the front of the cage and gripped on the iron bars.

The demon was the servant who had earlier been in the castle, and he was counting as he looked at the people in the cage, "..ninety-two, ninety-three-"

"Where am I?!" Samuel shouted in anger.
