I manage to knocked out Silva, but i almost drained Shi's powers in return.
Shi: You did well containing my power and defeating the angel. There is another way to go to the underworld that i didn't told you about because i thought it might be impossible but you manage to pull it off.
Yuuta: What do you mean?
Shi: If you absorbed this angel's powers with my arm, i mean your arm, it might be enough willpower to surpass the pressure of the underworld.
"Yeah thanks to me, if i wasn't here you would've killed."
Yuuta: Who are you?
This guy walked to us, he has blonde hair, has shades on his head, and hold a huge sniper rifle.
Shi: Yeah, yeah thanks i guess.
"Don't be rude now devil, you know i saved u back there."
Shi: Okay, okay thanks old man.
Yuuta: Hey Shi, who's this man? Why can he hear you?
Shi: I forgot to introduce to you. This right here is Kuzumi, sound like his name he is indeed a trash.
Kuzumi: That's harsh than usual man, you know you owe me a lot now and my boy here.
Shi: Ah yeah i forgot about Akuma.
Yuuta: Shi? Akuma? What's going on?!
Kuzumi: Well, in short i am Kuzumi, i was once a military sniper but then i died and my devil here asked me if i wanted to live another chance then i said sure why not. Then when this dude arrive here, i meant that devil of yours, he couldn't manifest to any human so i helped him possess a child.
Yuuta: That's fast but i kind of get it, but what's the connection in my problem here. I'm asking what's going on?!
Shi: Akuma is a very quiet devil because he's a sneaky bastard.
Akuma: Shut up Shi. I saved u there, if i hadn't seen your signal or if we weren't around that time you might've died here.
Shi: Yeah sure.
Yuuta: Nice to meet you i guess? I'm Yuuta, thanks for the help.
Kuzumi: We don't help for free you know. We want you to hand over that angel there and feed it to us.
Shi: I forgot we have the same goal.
Yuuta: What do you mea-?
As i said that a huge light emerges.
Kuzumi: Damn! Devil's rifle: Snipe!
He shot the angel and destroyed the barrier she casted.
Silva: How are you breaking my barrier?!
Yuuta: I guess i haven't put much power on my punch.
Shi: Don't approach her, without my power you'll die remember?
Oh yeah, i lost most of my devil powers earlier in our fight.
Kuzumi: Stand back!
Kuzumi dropped the sniper and pulled out guns...
Kuzumi: Devil's gun: devil's bullet.
The bullet pierced through Silva's defence.
Silva: That guy is troublesome. I'll at least take out the powerless one before i escape.
Kuzumi: Devil's gun: 6 shot devil's bullet.
Silva dodged all of those as she flies towards me with a sword.
Kuzumi: As expected her celestial power is outstanding.
Silva: Archangel's holy swords!
Loads of swords lands on the ground targeting me. I ran and ran.
Kuzumi: Yeah back off. You called me old man, but your vessel is almost an old man too though! Devil's gun...
Silva: I'll blast through you! Archangel's celestial evolution!
A huge powerful blast approached me as i ran but then Kuzumi stood in front of me...
Kuzumi: Stand back!
I ran behind him and fell down, as i pant...
Kuzumi: I didn't want to do this but...
Akuma: Ah, damn really again...
Kuzumi: Devil's gun: Piercing bullet.
He shot the blast towards me and somehow he managed to pierce through the blast and hit Silva and her blades as well causing them to disappear.
Kuzumi ran and jumped as he shot another huge blast in Silva's face.
Kuzumi: Devil's gun, transformation: Flak shot!
A blast through Silva's face, everything was in smoke.
As the smoke fades, i saw Kuzumi.
Yuuta: Did you get her?
Kuzumi: Nope, she manage to get away, although my shot should've left a mark on her.
Yuuta: Can't you chase her?
Kuzumi: I can't i'm almost out of power. Let's go to closed area, her backup might come soon.
So we went to a nearby abandoned building.
Yuuta: What you did was quite a work.
Kuzumi: We did use our only trump card, if it didn't work, i would've died with you. You owe me another one Shi.
Shi: Okay, okay whatever man.
Yuuta: That was a gamble i see.
Kuzumi: Well i kind of knew it would work, just wasn't sure because of the amount of celestial power.
Yuuta: What's the deal with your power?
Shi: His power is to erase any kind of power that we spiritual beings possess.
Kuzumi: To be specific It erases all kind of power, like what happened to her techniques earlier? I erased it. Although if my evil power wasn't enough to destroy her blast luckily it worked.
Shi: I forgot to tell you Yuuta, there are 3 kinds of power we spiritual beings possess, the celestial power for angels, the evil power for us devils, and the dark power for the underworld beings.
Yuuta: I see so Kuzumi gathered that much souls to be that strong.
Kuzumi: Not strong enough to face an archangel or defeat the dark lord.
Yuuta: Wait so he needs to go to the underworld too?
Shi: There's 3 of us who are tasked to kill the dark lord.
Yuuta: Isn't fighting the dark lord a big deal? Why are there 3 of you only?
Shi: Our true mission is to open the gates of the underworld. Once we defeated the dark lord it will open and the hell will fight them.
Yuuta: So only 3 devils can enter the underworld?
Shi: So far 3 are dispatched. Because as we speak, the hell and heaven are on a war.
Yuuta: Why are you guys taking the dark lord instead of heaven?
Shi: If the dark lord is summoned, there is this prophecy that the next dark lord is the strongest. It can destroy heaven and hell in an instant and feed the souls of humans.
Yuuta: You mean?
Shi: Yes there are most likely angel that are sent here that are powerful enough to enter the underworld.
Yuuta: I see now, so that's why we'll keep on clashing against angels.
Shi: Who ever collects the most souls wins. As far as i know if they have saved enough souls to go in heaven they will have a guide to the underworld gatekeeper.
Yuuta: Means we need to devour their souls first and find this gatekeeper.
Shi: That's the problem, we'll need the angels to find the gatekeeper.
Yuuta: Why?
Shi: If one of them succeeds we can follow them and they might lead us to the gatekeeper and crush them there.
Yuuta: Two birds in one stone i see.
Shi: But first, we've got to find more souls to devour.
Kuzumi: If you guys are off to somewhere, i'll continue to hunt souls as well.
Yuuta: Why are you doing that instead of spotting an angel?
Kuzumi: The more soul i devour the more powerful i become, if i'm powerful enough to defeat an archangel then i'll continue the quest, besides if 3 of this devils doesn't have enough souls to surpass the pressure they'll all die in the process of teleportation.
Shi: Yeah, 3 devils are needed to activate the gate, devils that have enough power to withstand the pressure of the gates.
Kuzumi: Well, i'm off then good luck explaining more to that amateur.
Shi: Yeah shut up and go.
Yuuta: What should we do now?
Shi: First we rest up and recover my power to you. After that i need you to learn something.
Yuuta: What is it?
Shi: There is another way to gather useless souls than killing a crowd.
Yuuta: What will i do?
Shi: I will train you to use my power more efficiently. But as long as we sense a crime going on we will use that opportunity to kill that notorious person to devour they're soul.
Yuuta: I'll do what i can to be stronger. Let's just do this and get this over with.
Shi: First we recover my power then we train.
I need to devour souls if i want to save my wife. What should i do? I'm at loss. Can i really save her despite my weak self? Of course i will save her no matter what. But first i need to kill humans and hold back my emotions. Sacrifice everything for her and fight for her.
