As the torture of Maris by Leonard continues, Dr. Seker, on the other hand, is still being detained in front of the king, still pushing him to tell Leonard the truth about him being the prophecy.
"My King please! Listen to me!"
Dr. Seker yelled as Lucifer, the king, looked at him emotionless.
"Please! All will be destroyed! If we cou-"
"Silence"
Butted in Lucifer, and with just one word, Dr. Seker's mouth was shut and never opened again.
"Did you think that I didn't know about the prophecy? Do you think I'm not doing anything? Huh!?"
Lucifer responded with an angry grin on his face.
"Guards, escort Dr. Seker out of this castle. He is banished from this land and to any other... and don't let anyone talk to that man."
Dr. Seker was put in shock as he shouted at the top of his lungs with his mouth shut, failing to beg for mercy as he was escorted out of the castle and completely banished from the land, never opening his mouth again. Back at where Leonard was being tortured, the room went silent and Leonard began breathing out of his life while Maris was completely watching.
"You're done?" You had enough huh?"
Leonard did not respond and stopped breathing. Maris then caught the attention of it, and, out of nowhere, the ground started shaking. She was shocked at what was happening. She then glanced at Leonard and saw a black aura coming out of him, petrifying her in her position. Leonard then slowly stands up, and Maris starts attacking him but deals no damage.
"W-what's happening? Is this…Is this a power of a God?"
Maris exclaimed, sweating and exhausted from the powerful presence arousing in front of her
"I̶͚͛'̸̢̏m̷̽͜ ̴͈̄m̶͎͠ỏ̸͈r̷̭̄e̶̜̋ ̶̯̓ẗ̸͉́ĥ̴̭ą̸̿ṉ̵̈́ ̷̝͛t̴̹͗h̴̪͊ā̸̪t̷̖̃.̷̠́.̵̪̀.̴̽ͅD̷̯̋ȉ̵̫e̸̟̎"
Leonard responded in a non-understandable way, then completely sliced off Maris' left arm, making her scream from the top of her lungs. As the rage continued and the presence grew, Lucifer quickly felt like someone was pushing him down on the ground. Lucifer then dashes in the blink of an eye again into the room where Leonard is floating and stands face-to-face in front of him. They both looked at each other with the intent to kill, as Lucifer had red auras coming out of him.
"Son, Stop now…"
"S̶̜̕ó̷̻n̸̫͘?̵̑͜ ̶͇̊s̶̨̿o̸̼͋ ̸̘͘Ì̷̟'̴̢͆m̶͈̋ ̵̥́ỵ̶́o̷͋ͅu̷̝͝ṙ̸̘ ̵̥͠s̸̝̈́ò̴̢n̷̩͒ ̴̦̈́n̸̯͑ọ̴̽w̸̡̄ ̷̱͝ḧ̸̙ȗ̴̬ḥ̶̏?̵͉̆"
Responded Leonard still not understanding any words coming out from him
"My son, please calm down, let's talk"

Leonard then attacks his father Lucifer as he punches his stomach but completely deflected it causing Lucifer to launch backward.
"I don't wanna do this my Son, Stop. Now"
Said Lucifer, but still got attacked by Leonard as they fought head-on inside the castle. Leonard then dashes in front of his father and tries punching Lucifers' face but gets counterattacked instead as Lucifer punches Leonard's stomach launching him through the window to the outside of the castle directly landing on the castle's garden.
"I had given you a chance, you had me in no choice to do this"
He then dashes outside of the castle landing again a punch in Leonard's stomach before he gets up and punches him countless times, but in an instant gets blocked again by Leonard as he holds a punch and counter attacks with a kick to Lucifer launching him to the skies. Leonard then jumps straight up to where Lucifer is and lands a kick at Lucifer's back making him crash to the ground again. While in the air, Leonard then failed to go down as he floated freely in the air with his black aura and looked directly to where Lucifer had landed. At first, he cannot see him due to a lot of smoke, but when he saw, he was directly dashing in front of him and landed an uppercut, but dealt minimal damage to Leonard. Leonard backs away and saw Lucifer also floats but with his devil wings helping him and said:
"Ī̶̢ ̸̪̈́a̷̱̓l̷̯͆m̶̀͜o̷̧͝s̶̜̃ẗ̶̞ ̸͇̒f̴̥̋ö̷͙́r̷͕͗g̶̗̎õ̴̳ţ̶̀ ̶̚͜t̴͓̑ȟ̶̜a̶̹̚t̸̨͘ ̸̤͐y̵̝͌ò̶̮u̷̙͝'̷͕̃r̸̫̂e̴̫̎ ̴͉̅ȃ̶̢ ̸̨̍d̸̳̄e̵̢̍v̶̤̀i̵̜͐l̶͙̒"
Lucifer and Leonard both directly head onto each other with a punch landing both of them to each other with such force that even the sound of the punches is like mountains crashing together. The punches are nonstop from both Leonard and Lucifer, Leonard then launches a punch directly at Lucifer's face making him bleed making Lucifer not hold on onto his punches.
"It's time to put an end to this"
Said Lucifer, then quickly dash right in front of Leonard with his thumb touching Leonard's forehead. Leonard then was petrified and was not able to move and said:
"Ẇ̵̨ḥ̴́a̵̬̎t̵̗̕ ̸͍̾a̵̪͋r̴̛̭e̵͔͠ ̶̢̋y̸̠̾ǫ̶̓ȗ̵̫ ̴̭͝d̷͕͛ơ̷͓i̴̛͜n̴͉̉g̶̛̬?̵̳͘ ̶̧͆W̶̹̓h̶̖͆y̴̞͗ ̶̫͘c̸̼̐ă̶͈ň̶̗'̷̦̄t̵͉̃ ̴̺̄Į̷͒ ̶͓̉m̴̜͊o̷̳͝v̸̹͋e̸̗̓?̷̞̅"
"It's time for you to stop, now…Rest"
Responded Lucifer making Leonard faint and directly lean on his arms. He then carried him to his room and quietly left with no words coming out of his mouth. He then saw his wife looking at him with a scared look and said to her:
"Look, he's fine, I did what I had to d-"
She then slaps Lucifer very hard and runs off to Leonard's room, leaving Lucifer alone in the hallway. He then breathes very deeply and continues his normal day. As Lucifer leaves, Corson is secretly watching them from his room, and he is eager to fight against his brother again. Chloe then approaches and reaches for Leonard's hand in the bed, waiting patiently for him to wake up. While Leonard is still unconscious, he dreams of a pure black room full of nothingness, but he can see himself.
"What is this? Where am I?"
Asked by Leonard
"You're inside of your consciousness, and I am you from the past"
Responded by a random voice within the pure black room. The voice then took form as a man with four wings, three white horns, and two white eyes in a man's body. Leonard was not shocked to see this person as it introduce itself right away.
"I am the very first three-horned demon, and I am here to tell you that your body is still weak. You haven't had the full knowledge of this power. Grow my child, be stronger"
"How? How can I improve this power? Tell me!"
Answered Leonard as the first three-horned demon slowly vanished and as he gained consciousness. He then wakes up alone in his room still feeling the damage he took from the fight but remembers nothing about it.
"Good morning, Prince Leonard. The guests of His Majesty, King Lucifer, have arrived. Her Highness, Queen Chloe, has asked me to help you prepare for greeting the guests. I will also be your healthcare companion until you've recovered."
Said by the maid, Leonard was then assisted by her maid and prepared for the guests and headed out of his room.
