Schaffe emerged from the dust but something looked different about him. His demon hunter clothes looked tattered and torn from the blast. But Schaffe looks younger.
"What going on?" questioned Jonathan.
"I see, you absorbed some of my attacks and it made you gain immortality since we are the same class of demon," said Artorias. "A huge stroke of luck."
"He became immortal from that," said Jonathan. They see Schaffe disappear.
"Where…," said Artorias before Schaffe slammed his right fist in his face leaving a dent in his armor when he appeared next to him.
"Surprise," said Schaffe. Artorias goes through the wall on the side of the room and he back through.
"You will pay for that," said Artorias.
"come on then," Schaffe taunts him with the come-on gesture from his right hand as he picks up his sword with his left.
"Trying to get us killed," said Jonathan, drawing his other sword with his left hand.
"Maybe," said Schaffe. Artorias lunges at them as two dark wings pop out from his back. Schaffe launches a black spear attack on Artorias which launches him to the castle roof.
Artorias starts to create a giant black orb in the sky with both his hands in the sky.
"Enough of this," said Artorias. But he did not see Jonathan behind him and deliver a cross slash onto his back. Schaffe appears in front of him and drop-kicks him down. The orb disappeared in the sky.
"I think this is checkmate, Artorias," said Schaffe.
"Damn," said Artorias. Schaffe uses a binding spell to capture Artorias and make sure he does not get away. They return to the throne room.
They see Alucard's party join them as they are covered in a bit of dark slime goo.
"I see you boys had a rough time," said Schaffe.
"And I see you look different too," said Liam.
"Yeah, something is different about you," said Alucard.
"Well, it seems I am immortal now, thanks to our friend here," said Schaffe.
"You must be Artorias Black, I thought you were slayed years ago," said Lucifer.
"Lucifer?" questioned Artorias.
"Yes, it's a couple hundred years since we last spoke," said Lucifer.
"You joined sides with the demon hunters," said Artorias.
"Things are different now, we have lost our nobility in the Demon Realm," said Lucifer. "An we have lost Lillith."
"Lillith is dead?" questioned Artorias.
"Yes, but her children live on and it seems you meet her eldest son," said Lucifer. "Schaffe Frye."
"So, we do now?" asked Jonathan.
"We go home with our new friend once he is gone then this just becomes a normal painting," said Schaffe.
"What about him?" asked Alucard.
"He can live as long as he does not hurt humans and give up on revenge then he can live, He would be a great asset for us when Fantasia begins," said Schaffe.
"Wise decision. Alright, I will help to gain my freedom then," said Artorias.
"It's a deal," said Schaffe. They begin their way out of the painting.
