At that time, the tentacles knocked down the sword Leica was holding.

Leica
Damnit...!

As if they'd waited for that moment, countless tentacles coiled around Leica' s body and stopped his movement.

Leica
Sh, shit... Is this it!

Might
Leica...!!

Might jumped out in front of the reflecting Hector.

In the next instant, Might thrust out his sword, and it stuck deeply in Hector's stomach.

Hector
...!!

Might
I'm sorry, Hector... I'm sorry!

Hector
M... Might-kun... Why...

His expression was full of astonishment and despair at being betrayed by the person he trusted. His trembling, blood-stained hand touched the cheek of Might's face.

Might
Hector...

Might may have been the only person worthy of Hector's trust. Was it Hector's distorted way of expressing emotion to hurt Might mischievously... When he thought that, the helpless feelings Might had became too much.

Hector
Kah... ah...

The thread of Hector's life was cut from his body and he slowly fell to the floor, and after that, he didn't move again.

The tentacles lost their master, and melted, vanishing into the air. Everyone who was left was merely stunned.

Might
...

Leica
Perhaps... It's possible that guy was the true "silver chaos". Well, I don't understand it now.

King
I am sorry for what happened to him... If I had noticed the injustice inside the royal palace 7 years ago, he would not have taken the wrong road...

Might
...No.

King
Hnn...?

Might murmured as he held Hector's body.

Might
...I'm the one who killed Hector.

Leica
...Stop it, Might, someone had to do it.

Though it ended there, the unbearable feelings remained in everyone's minds.

After he returned to his room in the lodging house, Might tormented himself with thoughts of self-condemnation.

Might
...

Adonis?
...That was quite an interesting sideshow.

When Might turned his head in surprise, Adonis was standing there unnoticed.

Might
Adonis...?!

Adonis?
I was planning on giving my powers to pass the tedious hours... But I was unexpectedly amused by that man named Hector. Isn't it regrettable that he was killed?

Might knew, that if this was the gentle Adonis, he wouldn't be able to say those kind of things.

Might
You... Who are you? ...You're not Adonis?

Hardius
...My name is, the king of Hell, Hardius. But then, I've learned that you've been calling me "silver chaos"?

Might
You're the... Demon King...?!

Hardius
About ten years ago, I was sealed away so I've been waiting a long time. Because of my "vessel", I have enough power to make my appearance!

Might
That is... Adonis...?

Hardius
That's correct... I went through a lot of trouble to obtain it, and it's a very good feeling, this body. It fits me.

Might finally understood everything. He carried off Adonis' body... He attacked towns here and there... And Hector died because he used him, too... It was all of the Demon King's actions before their eyes.

Might
Shit... Wait, Adonis. I'll seal the devil and save your for sure!

Hardius
Huhuhu... How do you plan on doing that? Now, Adonis and I are one. If you seal me, will Adonis be sacrificed? ...As with that man named Hector.

The thought of Hector's last moments was already on Might's mind.

Might
Th, that... I can't do that...

Hardius threw unexpected words at the brokenhearted Might.

Hardius
Might... Come rule the world with me.

Might
What did you say...?!

Hardius
I've watched Adonis and you for a long time. It would be suitable for you to be my right-hand man.

Might
Don't say something so foolish...!

Even though Might refused at once, he was puzzled by Hardius' words. It was obviously nothing but a favor of the devil. When Might thought about how his injuries from falling off the cliff were healed, and how he escaped from the jail, he started thinking about agreeing. The devil that was trying to conquer the entire world might be able to charm Might the same as Adonis.

Hardius
Myself and Adonis are one flesh... You only have to think of controlling the world with Adonis. Or... Would you rather seal me and Adonis, and live in a world without Adonis?

Might
...

Be with Adonis, or live in a world without Adonis... Might's mind was thrown into great confusion from Hardius' sweet whispers.

Don't conquer the world

Conquer the world
