Back at base, the Torture Devils flew into the entrance and made their way inside this cave inside a snowy mountain. "Master Red, we have returned." So informed the leader as the summoner placed him onto his knees. Panting and trying to catch his breath due to the heavy blows he received from Akito, blood gushed out of his mouth.
"So, the mission? Was it successful?" Said a dark, sinister voice that was sitting in a giant chair made of many human skeletons. "No, your majesty, we apologize for our failure." The three dropped onto their knees in front of their leader. "Oh, where is Zelda?" He asked coldly. "We dismissed her leave. So, she should be here?" Said the leader as he looked up with a frightened face. His eyes wide open, he stared into the eyes of his master. "How dare you? Who ordered you to look at me?" Asked the sinister voice as he stood up. "I'm sorry, my lord. It was a natural reflex." Said the leader as he started shivering. "So, what happened?" He asked as he sat back down and placed his face into his hand, with his elbow resting on a skull.
"Your majesty, allow me to stand?" He asked while bowing his head down. "Go ahead." He permitted him. Groaning while trying to stand up, he opened his mouth with blood running down. "All was well until Zelda moved on her own." He informed the leader. "Hmm, again?" He said with a death stare. "I humbly apologize. I will deal with her after this." He said with his head bowed down. He stared into the ground and continued. "We suspect that she was forced out of his subconscious realm after performing her spell. After her spirit returned to her body, she was traumatized, as if she ran into the-." He said until his explanation halted, "The God?" He asked with an ugly smirk. "Yes, your majesty." He said as he held his jaw.
"My jaw's broken?" He asked himself as he remembered that his so-called "lord" hated when his subordinate didn't remove their face cloth. Hesitantly he gripped the fabric and, with his other hand, signaled to the other three to do the same.
Removing their head cloths revealed four distributing creatures. Heads of beasts that belonged to no natural beings, these individuals were indeed the spitting image of an actual Devil. "Oho, don't you think it's a bit delayed to remove them, Tor?" Said the evil presence as he laid back into his seat. "We humbly apologize. We have realized our grave error and desire not to make it again, my ruler." Said the leader as he dropped down onto his knees and planted his face into the ground. "Continue." Ordered the leader. Tor lifted his face off the ground and sat up onto his shins. The other three followed as well. "I then assumed she was unfit for the forthcoming battle, so I ordered for her to retreat." He said as he gripped one of his thighs. "Taking the first measures, I engaged into a hand battle with the target-" He said as the lord once again stopped his explanation. "Call him the Blue Flame Master." He ordered once again. "Then I shall." Said Tor nervously. "Continue." The lord coldly ordered while ignoring that his servant was hurt. "I punched and launched him away, which gave me time to order summoner to engage the weakest torture room. A first stage. All while we executed the plan to the teeth, we cast a sleeping spell onto his brother for insurance." He informed the lord, but he looked somewhat disappointed in what was next in line to come out of his mouth.
"Beforehand, I ordered torturer and the dark interrogator only to perform light torture after I had dealt my blows to him, but they jumped in Unreasonably and took actions that were unordered. But I believe that my weak planning was what led to the unforeseen failure of our efforts." He said as he started sweating uncountably. "What's with pressure?" He asked himself in a frightened state. "So, how did it end?" Said the lord with a dark stare. "We only angered the god inside of him, taking unaccounted for actions, he empowered him and lent him his massive powers. Dealing two blows to me in under five minutes, he drove me into this pitiful state. So, I took what my subordinate suggested and retreated for the time being." He said as he nervously again bowed down with fear in his heart. "Oho, so god emerged to help the vessel he for so long has been striving to conquer? Interesting! This is getting to be the most fun I had in millenniums!" He declared, screaming and sinisterly laughing into this vast cave, only driving the four into a frightful state. Hibervinalting, the four devils couldn't wait to leave this ominous aura. They wanted to get out of the cave as soon as possible.
Tor lifted his face and boldly claimed. "I assure you, my lord. In the next encounter, we will break his will and obliterate him. For your words are absolute. For your words are my existence, I will bring him to you in a blank state!" He said with a confident tone, all while slowly lifting his face up and off the ground. "Next time?" Asked the lord while staring into his servants. "My words are absolute?" He said with an ugly smirk. "Well, then I order you to put your useless selves out of this misery of existence and perish! I no longer have a use for you." He said while grinning from ear to ear. Walking down the massive stairs, he appeared in front of his servants. Looking Tor into his eyes, he departed them with a final message. "Insects, boldly claiming to destroy my brother?" He asked while dealing a fatal wound to the face of Tor, then the murder of the other three followed soon after.
"No one other than I will kill Akito." As he stepped outside of the cave, he asserted. Then, out of thin air, two tall figures appeared before him, and without a word spoken, a massive portal appeared in front of them. Stepping into it, he wiped off the blood of his servant onto a nearby stone.
