He was back and as he was standing, standing behind Asmodeus, Asmodeus grinned as evil intent started Manifesting around him.
"~~~~~" Mary in the background.
"Now that you're back it's time to look for my daughter/and your grandmother, after we find her, well pay your father a visit and then I'll start back up with what I had initially started 300 years ago"
Turning to Hiro and placing his hand on his sholders, he said with a smile that hadn't shown his evil Objective
"And that's to take over the Dark Realm"
Having said that, Mary had realized that Asmodeus was never on their side, he wasn't reviving her son out of the goodness of his heart, he was recruiting him, and whatever this crap about her son being a Demon or even her husband possibly being one as well didn't matter to her, she was living in the moment and she knew she needed to act now before Asmodeus got his way.
"We sorcerers were born to obliterate monsters like you! There's no way in a million years that he'd join you!"
But as she yelled that he chuckled,
"Monster huh, your kid is one as well, so won't it be a shame when you have to kill him as well"
Taken back, she wasn't hesitant as she yelled,
"Once a sorcerer, forever a sorcerer! Even if the sorcerer is a nightmare! As long as their a child of the Mana, then they can be pardoned and live their life in service to her! Just like we always have!"
He snickered at her words, he found her words to be hysterical as she was preaching about something like the Mana in front of his presence.
"Than that makes it all the better for me, after all, I won't just have a young Demon to shape, but a Demon sorcerer, how rare, how exciting... How fun"
Looking in front of him and to the blank-faced Hiro who he didn't know if he was all there yet? He smiled and extended his hand.
"So what do you say? Join me and it all can be yours, we don't need Izumi and her undeads, with our family, we can concur all by ourselves"
Yet as being said the word undead, he saw that Hiro's hand fidgeted, looking up at him since he was a [large](6ft) heightened man and Asmodeus was literally [small](4'9), he saw Hiro looking down at him with a cold gaze.
With blue and red glaring into each other-
*Flap*
He disappeared and reappeared in the air, hoving in the air as Hiro had tried slashing him with newfound claws.
Hiro's hands had 1in long sharp nails that were even considered claws as they were weaponized for slashing.
Hiro then looked up and as he saw Asmodeus in the air, he shrieked!
*RAHRWKKKKAAS!*
His voice was vicious and his teeth were beastly fanged, this excited Asmodeus but alarmed Mary.
"I wasn't planning on fighting you since we're family, but if you insist! I don't mind showing you the difference in our strengths-" Asmodeus
"Run you're no match for him!" Mary
"You're right, he's the weakest Demon I've ever seen? He's hardly even a Demon? And his chances of winning are very preposterous? Hey Asmodeus this fight is going to be way too boring, fight somebody else"
Looking over to the table in the middle in the table of the room, there was a medium height man with raven hair and ruby eyes looking up at Asmodeus.
Wait where'd the hell he come from?!
"Demon king. . .Why are you here?" Asmodeus
Looking down at the man who had just appeared from nowhere, Asmodeus had lifted his hand and normal-sized javelins of ice had started rapidly forming behind him.
As those javelins started shaping, Hiro jumped at the "Demon King" and tried attacking him, only to be kicked away,
"Go to sleep kid, the grown-ups are talking"
Hiro was tossed against the wall, crashing and denting the wall. He dropped down, but as he did, Mary caught him and clutched him tightly as he was hit above her and fell unconscious.
"Now Asmodeus! What are you implying? Demon king, I'm just an ordinary man, a legal human who dwells in Nefumia. You know you sound crazy right now, making such massive accusations? After all, weren't you the one to abolish such Demon king 3 century's ago, now didn't you?"
Saying that Mary and Asmodeus didn't acknowledge the words he said, and as his sarcastic tone was spoken, the red core faded in his eyes and became black.
Looking down at the Demon king, Asmodeus descended to the ground and as he was in front of the so mentioned Demon king, his ice javelins in the air focused downwards and directly at the man as they were just waiting to be shot at him.
"I don't have time for your games, if you're not here to challenge me to a re-match, then what do you want?"
"Hey calm down, I thought you were often the spirited and kind one? Why so hostile?"
"You're existence is stressful"
Hearing him say that he looked grim, it was like he was a child as he wanted to go sit in that corner over there.
"Anyways, I just came here because I wanted to repay you for a favor a long time ago and give you a little Itty bitty warning"
Squinting his eyes as in saying that, this truly was the Demon king from 300 years ago, the same one who terrorized the realm.
He responded with,
"What warning?"
But as he said that, the Demon king grinned and said loud enough for Mary to hear,
"I wonder, do you gave enough strength to smash free from your seal again"
Saying that his eyes broadened as a vile smile prevailed all over the Demon king's face, and a yellow light encased Asmodeus.
"You bastard! You knew this, didn't you! Yet you wasted my time!"
"Don't know what you're going on about? But since it's here... Bye Bye Asmodeus~ can't wait to see you again, in a few more centuries~"
Asmodeus hoisted his hand and threw it down, launching all his javelins at the Demon king, but as he did, the yellow light disappeared and along with him all the ice javelins except 7, which had hit and destroyed other parts of the branch building stated.

With Asmodeus gone and back in his dungeon, the Demon king looked over to Mary and smirked happily as he glanced at her, and it generally terrified her as this guy had such a dense and dark aura surrounding him, that it was almost visible to darkness.
"Hey there?" DK
*Gulp* Mary
Looking at him he stood up and as he did, an enormously aura way stronger than anything she could ever manifest suddenly erupted out of him.
His eyes came to be ruby red again and-
*Plop*
A thin book dropped on her lap and as she looked down and back up at him, that FEAR? had departed and he had his hands behind his back.
"Most Demons..." DK
"Okay I take that back, a tiny percentage of demons aren't as bad as you think, like the Oni for example" DK
"We- They have a hierarchy/cast system and besides the primal Demon's who will rip you to shreds on sight, the more so similar to civilized Demons have reasoning and are more humanish than you think" DK
Not understanding what was going on, she looked at him and hiddenly attempted to free herself from the ice chains by melting them with her phyric energy by tampering with her body heat.
"Asmodeus is unusual because no one knows what type of Demon he is, or at least everyone I asked had no idea? So that's something you're going to have to find out on your own" DK
"What does he have to do with me?" Mary
"Your son is a Demon, the exact same Demon as Asmodeus, and from how it appears, he's not a primal Demon or Farrell, which have names but I can't pronounce in your language" DK
"So there's a chance for him to be decent, and a less...Demonic Demon. Meaning he keeps a good hold on his humanity and doesn't forfeit to his inner beast like alot of other wild Demons" DK
"How do you even know he's a Demon? It could be a deception? And even if he is, why help us? What do you want out of this!?" Mary
"That's easy, I'm homeless and need a place to live...It sounds pathetic because it is and I have no shame left in me. But I do have a lot of knowledge and use about Demonology which I am willing to share" DK
"So in exchange for teaching you how to raise a Demon with high humanity and low Demonic instability, you let me live at let's say in your bench house as one of your Natsu's so it can be easier to help out and blend in with society" DK
"What if I don't need your help? What if I can handle this on my own?" Mary
"HAHAHA, you're funny cor a human who's only now seen a Demon. But sorry without me you're going to fail and you're going to fail hard"
"You don't know that!"
"All Demon's, no matter how powerful just want to corrupt"
"But-"
"All Demon's, no matter what type just want to corrupt"
"You're not proving anything!"
"All Demon's, no matter who they are just want to corrupt shit"
"I can find a way to avoid it!"
"They do it for fun, the Demon race is nothing like the known devil, there's they live in the abyss and that's because nothing can truly rule them"
"Fine, I get it!"
"Great! Now let's get you out of these chains, oh and your son's about to... Well he's about to pull a butterfly, so I suggest we find a cage to put him in case he wants to wake up and kill everything"
"Eeh?"
"Also expect horns"
"EHHHHHHHH!"
