Navertozwein watched the entire scenario and he even tried to kill Anubis and Set by sending a greater demon army at their homeland, but those two departed to somewhere safe. However, Navertozwein didn't rested aside. He changed the plans and made the governor of that demon army, ERESHKIGAL, attack the people of Earth, or more specifically, attack Alcesto and his friends.
CURRENTLY, IN SEOUL, IN SOUTH KOREA, 2025
One year passed since Alcesto and his friends left planet Earth. Jae-Hyuk's personal house was taken down by the government because some kind of mall was to be built there. Schwartz decided to manage the financial problem his team was currently facing.
Firstly, Alcesto and his friends went to Ichika's Slayer org of Seoul only to find that she had left the country and has gone back to stay with her mother in Japan since she earned enough experience as a business manager.
After visiting the Slayers org, Schwartz met with his mother and asked about her financial situation. She replied,
"There's nothing to worry. I have formed a small business with Jae-Hwa and that allows the both of us to live normally."
Everything was going fine on Earth, but, Schwartz was in serious need of money. He needed money to buy new set of equipments for his party. He also was not able to extract his income from the Slayer org because there would be too much of trouble if they found that a slayer is returning after slaying "hellish gods of different realms" only to get back his money. During this difficult time, Kyung-Soon told a shocking revelation to her party. She said,
"Jae-Hyuk and I are getting married."
While everyone was completely startled, Kyung-Soon started explaining everything.
"Even though our father is dead, our uncle is still alive. Our father was a Japanese. He was searching for job around here when he found my mother and they fell in love. He told her his brother's stories. His brother, in other words, my uncle, is probably the richest slayer of Earth, if not the strongest. He said that he mistakenly got transported to some heavenly land. He also earned information about the hellish gods but nobody seemed to believe him, until now. He is really rich and he even wants to help us sisters... But... The only problem is that he would not help us until we get married to a reliable guy who would willingly accept our Japanese family name of "AOKI". We would also have to quit our job and stay in Japan. So... What do you wish to do, leader Schwartz?"
Schwartz looked at Alcesto, Jae-Hyuk, Kyung-Mi and Kyung-Soon and replied,
"Alcesto, do you love Kyung-Mi? And Jae-Hyuk... Do you love Kyung-Soon?"
They both said in unison,
"Yes! With the depths of my heart!"
Schwartz smiled at them and said,
"Fine, but, will you both change your family name and accept to live in Aoki family?"
Alcesto replied,
"Jung is not my real family name... My father never told me about my real family name. However, I, Azure Emperor have the purpose to marry my destined one and by the looks of it, Kyung-Mi is my destined one!"
Jae-Hyuk replied,
"I don't even have a family... But, if I were to marry Kyung-Soon and accept her Japanese family name, I would be really glad!"
____A FEW DAYS LATER____
IN TOKYO, JAPAN
Alcesto married Kyung-Mi (AOKI HINA) and Jae-Hyuk married KYUNG-SOON (AOKI HIMARI). Schwartz bought new equipment for his party by Alcesto's and Jae-Hyuk's inheritance money. Since Yoon sisters' uncle already ordered them to stay at home, they were not able to continue their journey alongside Alcesto, Schwartz, Zhao and Jae-Hyuk. Schwartz reassured them and said,
"You don't have any need to worry... From now on, our battles will be a lot more dangerous. It's better if less strong people stay here, and by saying this, I'm also pointing Out Zhao."
Zhao was ordered by Schwartz to stay on Earth, but she didn't wanted to listen to him. She said,
"I know... But... I will continue this journey! I won't be able to live without you!"
Pleased by her resolve, Schwartz decided to depart the next day along with Alcesto, Jae-Hyuk and Zhao. He planned to use the spatial stone to create a dimensional portal which would be formed at the 'Gateway of Small Hell'.
However, a sudden surprise was waiting for him. It was the eight general of Navertozwein, Ereshkigal. Ereshkigal is also known as the fire spirit of the underworld. Despite being thousands of years old, she looked like a 20 year old girl. She was 5.9 feet tall and had a medium sized human-like body except a ten centimeter long horn on her head, everything was normal. Her orange coloured eyes were shining with a strange flame. She wore a yellow coloured gown and a dark blue coloured denim. She also wore red coloured hair bands on her blonde ponytails.
As soon as she set her foot on this planet, along with the ninth general of Navertozwein, LEMURES, she had been encountering unexpected unluckiness. She thought to herself,
"Lord Navertozwein ordered us to kill Set and Anubis... But they went into hiding somewhere else! That's my first unluck of the day! Secondly, some super strong asshole showed up! Who the hell was he... He killed all of my and Lemures's demons single handedly! Thirdly, Lemures got killed by him! What should I do now?! Lord Navertozwein has ordered us to go and kill that Alcesto guy... But Lemures already dead! How am I supposed to do this... "
While she was depressed by her thoughts, she remembered something.
"I found it! The strategy to win! I have to attack them separately! Firstly, I'm gonna start with that Zhao bastard! I'm going to take her hostage and see how others will react! This is the perfect plan!"
Ereshkigal walked towards the city of Tokyo after gathering information about Alcesto and his friends from her lord Navertozwein's demonic eye. She was an over-confidante person. However, in some cases, this over confidance of her has assured her victory. This was the reason why she was entrusted by Lemure. Lemure was the seventh general of Navertozwein, but an unbelievably strong entity was said to killed him.
"...just who was he?"
Despite being a little bit uneasy, Ereshkigal decided to prove her worth by slaying Alcesto and his friends, starting from Zhao.
