Chapter 77 - The Master of the Castle

Alucard's part enters the Castle's basement floor. They walk through the halls.

 "So, what is it like in the Demon Realm?" asked Alucard.

 "Terrible, I have a ruler who barely cares for his people," said Lucifer.

 "Maybe, that was a bad question," said Laim.

 "Yeah, it was," said Alucard.

 "Something is coming," said Lucifer. They get their weapons ready. They start to see dark slime-like creatures start to sliver over. 

 "Slime?" asked Liam.

 "There must be something down this hall," said Alucard.

 "Let's see what it holds then," said Liam. They start to fight their way down the hall against the black slimes.

 Schaffe and Jonathan reach two huge doors to the throne room of the Castle of Artorias Black.

 "Do you feel it?" asked Schaffe.

 "Of course, it must be the master of this castle," said Jonathan.

 "He must be making this place weird in this painting," said Schaffe. They enter the throne room.

 Schaffe and Jonathan stood in front of a demon man sitting on a throne. He looked like he was wearing a dark steel horned helmet with a cage in front of his eyes where he had scarlet in his eyes. He wore a jabot shirt with a blue jacket and pants. He had dark steel gauntlets and greaves.

 "Wait, he a black," said Jonathan.

 "Indeed, he could be a powerful demon," said Schaffe.

 "Welcome to my humble abode, I am the great Artorias Black," said The Demon Man, who is Artorias Black. "What brings you to my prison."

 "Well, we have been sent to find the problem with this painting," said Schaffe.

 "Well, I finally have weakened the seal. I have been here for a truly long time if I recall it has been around eight hundred years now," said Artorias. "I can't wait to exit and destroy that demon hunter's kin."

 "And what is the name of this family?" asked Jonathan.

 "His name of the bastard, who sealed me away was a Daniel Frye," said Artorias.

 "Oh, that may be a problem then since I am The Great, Schaffe Frye," said Schaffe.

 "What? You are a Frye, but I sense my kin within you," said Artorias.

 "Well, My mother was a Black as well," said Schaffe.

 "I guess this makes you my enemy then," said Artorias. He gets up from the throne.

 "I guess this family reunion did not come as planned it seems," said Jonathan as he drew his sword.

 "I guess not, But he must be dangerous," said Schaffe, He drew his sword as well. 

 "Now, die!" yelled Artorias, he created black orbs around him that went flying at them. Schaffe and Jonathan start lunging at Artorias. Schaffe uses a hyper-speed spell on him and Jonathan. Artorias creates a black barrier around him to protect him from their assault. Artorias starts to gather energy and starts to get a black aura and black lighting around him.

 "Watch it!" yelled Jonathan.

 "Take this," said Artorias. He points his right finger at Schaffe and fires a huge black arrow attack at him. Schaffe grabs it with his hands and he starts to get dragged back through the door to the throne room and it explodes.

 "Fool!" questioned Jonathan.

 "Goodbye," said Artorias. He sees Schaffe walking from the door in the dust.

 "I haven't felt this good in a long time," said Schaffe.

 "What? He lived?" questioned Artorias.
