It was 3:00 am and the girls were all sleeping in the apartment while Zeno slept outside.

They didn't allow him to enter based on the fact that he didn't give them the chance to bathe, instead they took the alternative and wiped off their bodies with a towel and water.

_ _ _ _ _

Zeno found himself in front of a dungeon, he was confused about how he got there, the inside of the cave was so dark that he couldn't see a damn thing.

"This is new, can't fight this urge to enter." Zeno said, as he walked into the cage and used his blue flames to light up the way.

"The hell is this?" Just in front of him was a huge purple glowing flower, feeling curious he wanted to touch it but before he could make contact with it multiple Glinxs surrounded him.

They started attacking, he tried fighting back but for some reason, his powers weren't working.

He woke up from his dream, panting before placing his hand on his head and giving a weak smile.

"Damn, I could have sworn that happened." He sighed, he wanted to get up to use the bathroom when he suddenly felt Uta's hand on his lap.

Zeno laid back on the floor before sighing again, "Today will definitely not be my day".

.....

"Wake up, come wake up!" Ava was on top of Zeno who was still sleeping. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and started pulling it back and forth.

He slightly opened his eyes, "What do you want Ava?" He asked before sleeping back.

"Hey!" She scratched her hair before standing up and moving a few feet away from him, "You leave me no choice." Ava yelled as she ran towards Zeno and landed on his stomach.

He jumped in pain, groaning, "What the hell did you do that for, you crazy bitch!" Zeno yelled while holding his stomach with one knee on the ground.

She smiled, "Get ready we are going shopping, you can't be wearing those rags all the time".

"Shopping?".

After Zeno had freshened up, Ava immediately dragged him outside, although there was no sign of the rest, which was another reason why they wanted to go outside.

They kept walking until they got to a deserted place, where there were only empty houses with small swarms at every corner.

"So where exactly is this shopping stuff?" Zeno asked, he couldn't grasp why she would want to go out to buy clothes, back when they were in the village, their clothes were always sew by the town's grandmas and even then she didn't take them.

"So are you going to answer me, or. .." Zeno stopped walking, "Something's not right." He thought to himself.

"Hey, I have a question, how did you know how to use that freaking power of yours?" Ava asked as she slowly turned to face Zeno.

"Kinda hard to explain, I just know I guess." Zeno responded.

"Well, that's too bad." Ava asserted, in the blink of an eye she transformed into a skeleton demon.

"Fire or lighting I can handle them too, come at me human, a battle we shall do." The demon Seriyon uttered with a crazy smile.

"Rhymes, give me a break." Zeno covered his fist in his blue lightning, "It's obvious you're here for some beating, but before that...Tell me where Ava is!".

The demon laughed, "This is the person lord Lucifer wanted? funny I must say." He streached out his hand and Zeno immediately fell to his knees.

He could feel something grabbing his throat and choking him, he struggled to get free but nothing worked.

"This is the successor? Pathetic! again quite funny." With a swing of his hand, Seriyon sent Zeno flying and crashing into a small cottage that was near the end of the street.

"You are nothing but a small fry. Why is lord Lucifer interested in you?" Seriyon took slow steps towards the cottage.

Zeno rushed out of the broken cottage, with lightning sparking all over his body. He was able to appear at the back of the demon and landed a blow.

His hand went through the demon's head after landing the blow before it exploded into bits from the blue flames.

Zeno sighed, "I hope Ava's okay, I didn't think the demon was going to go down so easily." He uttered before dispatching the lightning around him.

Just when he was about to turn his back on the demon he heard a Demonic laugh coming from his back.

"You're not half bad, but still not good enough!" Seriyon whooshed to Zeno's front and grabbed he's neck before taking off to the sky.

While in the air Zeno struggled to get free, he started throwing desperate punches at the demon but it was to no avail.

"Happy death day,..." Now grabbing hold of Zeno's head, he threw him down with enough force to release a massive sonic boom in the sky.

But before Zeno could hit the ground, the demon had already sent a huge magic blast that connected with Zeno while he was still in the air.

After Zeno landed on the floor, the fall was so big that the ground scattered and the earth had a massive hole with Zeno laid in the middle of it all.

His body had been completely burned from the blast, it was so bad that some parts of his body only had his skeleton shown.

He looked to the sky as blood began to cover his view and he could only hear the sound of his heartbeat slowing down.

He coughed out blood as he stretched his right hand to the sky with a fading smile, "Oh... I see, I guess I'm dying now." He muttered.

He slowly closed his eyes and his hand went falling to the front after he had lost his consioiness.

With a flash of light, Zeno found himself in an empty room, where everything was white all around and there was nothing in there but him.

"Is this heaven?" He thought to himself, "Well death doesn't seem so bad anyway, I was never bothered." He fell on his back before looking at the heavens and wanted to fall asleep.

"Don't you dare die on me, you dummy!" Uta yelled before appearing in front of him.

"Uh? Uta?" He hastily opened his eyes and saw Uta in front of him, he jolted up from the floor, "What are you doing here, I never knew you could travel dimensions".

"Listen to me, We are trapped under a cave, I can help you track us but you have to take care of this demon first." Uta uttered with her body slowly fading from her legs.

"He's strong though, I wasn't even able to..".

"They plan to do the same thing they did to your village to this one, I trust you Zeno, make demon milk out of him and come rescue us." She voiced out before disappearing.

Zeno closed his eyes and gave out a warm smile, "Thanks for that, you just reminded me why this world suck." He opened his eyes and there was blue light shining all around him.

Levitating, the demon moved closer to Zeno's body, "Who would have thought he was this weak, I wonder why Lucifer wants him so much." Seriyon scoffed.

"Now I just have to.. "

Seriyon suddenly sensed a huge surge of power coming from Zeno's damaged body, he immediately took a huge leap back as he avoided the lightning blast that whooshed out of Zeno's body.

Standing a few feet away from Zeno, he watched as Zeno stood up with a flash of lightning and a blue aura surrounding him while he was carrying an plane expression on his face.

The center of the place was covered in Zeno's sharp lightning bolt that ripped apart anything it came in contact.

"Where the hell did he get this sudden boost in power!" Seriyon yelled, he immediately put up a barrier but Zeno's lightning was so powerful that the barrier couldn't withstand the attack, so it ended up shattering to pieces.historical

The demon gave out a loud laugh after seeing Zeno's power, "You were hiding this much power from me? Finally someone I can go all out with!" He said with a scary look on his skeleton face.

Zeno, not frightened In the least, worked his way out of the pit and slowly approached Seriyon with his blue glowing eyes.

"Come at me, successor!"
