They see something jump from inside the castle and land in front of them. It was a giant white saber-toothed tiger with black stripes all over its body.
"Ah, my that's a big kitty," said Schaffe.
"Not a nice one it seems too," said Jonathan. They draw their weapons and they begin battle with the beast. The Saber Tooth goes and claws at them. Schaffe falls back and Lucifer guards him. Jonathan goes in and gives the beast a jump stab attack at its face but he gets slammed to the side of a nearby boulder by its right paw. Liam goes in from behind at its tail and cleaves off with a vertical slash down. It roars in pain from the attack by Liam. Its single-leg donkey kicks Liam back into the castle gates. Alucard gets on its back and stabs it in the back before it starts to shake him off. The Saber Tooth Tiger lunges at Jonathan who gets back up before it lands, he rolls under and draws his other saber and uses both to cut off its left paw. Schaffe goes in and unleashes a new spell he made where he made a spear made of black energy and tosses it at the Saber Tooth killing it in one blow through its head.
"Damn, he just it like it was easy work, maybe I should learn some magic," said Liam, with surprise.
"You truly are Lillith's son able to forge your own spell using the Black Technique," said Lucifer.
"Now, then how about we get going," said Schaffe. He launches another black spear at the gate making a huge hole so they can get in.
"He is getting more powerful since we left hell, he has even gotten quicker in spell casting as well," Jonathan in thought. They head into the castle grounds.
Meanwhile in a dark room a man in the dark was watching them throw a crystal ball.
"My it been ages since I had guest come especially humans, this should be great entertainment," said The Man, laughing.
They come into the courtyard in the castle. They see the place bigger than it looks on the outside.
"Where do we start?" asked Alucard.
"We could split up to cover more ground," said Schaffe.
"Sounds, like a good idea," said Alucard.
"Jonathan and I, will head into the upper area of the castle and you guys get the lower half," said Schaffe.
"Alright, it sounds good with us," said Liam.
"Just run if there is something too dangerous while you are down there, I would hate to tell, Alice," said Jonathan.
"I will be fine," said Alucard. "Just make sure our boss makes it out alive."
"But it would be a bonus in my book if something happens to him that causes his death," said Jonathan.
"Oh, you always want to kill me makes feel loved in a way," said Schaffe.
"What helps you sleep at night," said Jonathan. They split up and head out to search the castle.
