Bianca rushed towards him, sending out her spear in a strike. He easily dodged it, sending a fist down upon Bianca.

Bianca gracefully maneuvered around the hand, twirling her spear for another stab which would have pierced into his head if he hadn't ducked.

Amber appeared beside him, sending a kick. He caught the kick, and in his other hand he summoned the book, letting it float into the air and block another stab from Bianca.

He threw Amber at Bianca as a distraction. Bianca caught Amber, but before Kurobei could use this chance to attack them I rushed him, morphing Loki into an axe and swinging it towards his head.

He dodged it, sending a punch to my stomach. I roared my body, letting the punch graze me as I spun around and used the momentum for another strong strike with the axe.

He backed up, avoiding the swing. He quickly jumped away as Amber sent another punch towards him, no longer carried by Bianca.

A thin layer of ice formed on Bianca as she rushed towards Kurobei. He shot a purple blast at her which she easily spun around.

Amber summoned a chain into her hands, throwing it towards the distracted Kurobei. It wrapped around his leg.

Kurobei quickly sent a kick towards Bianca, making her back up to dodge. He then stomped onto the chain and shattered it before Amber could use it to her advantage.

"Damn." She muttered.

I rushed towards Kurobei, morphing the axe into a spear and thrusting it towards him. He dodged it, before quickly having to dodge again as Bianca threw a stab at him.

He dodged our stabs as we sandwiched him. He then ducked as Amber flew above him with a super powered flaming punch.

She landed behind him, sending a kick around to his face. He caught her foot, throwing her away. As Bianca rushed him he sent a punch towards her, hoping to stop her approach.

Instead Bianca created a wall of ice. His fist shattered the ice into multiple shards. Instead of falling the shards rotated until their sharp points faced Kurobei.

Bianca waved her arm, the ice shards flying towards Kurobei. Her took the attack, the ice shards shattering even further as they impacted his skin.

Whatever that syringe was, it's made him impervious to most attacks. The only things that seem to work are physical attacks by our Arcanas.

Bianca ran towards him once more, taking a different approach and dragging the tip of her spear against the ground. Instead of attack him, she sped past him.

I immediately noticed what she was doing. She was spreading ice onto the ground, but not her normal ice. Rather, it was black ice, the invisible kind.

Kurobei didn't seem to notice, slipping off of the ice as he attempted to take a step. His eyes widened as his feet flew into the air.

Amber took this moment of opportunity to come in with a powerful punch to his chest, but he planted his hands onto the ground and pushed himself upwards in a flip onto his feet, effectively dodging Amber.

He had gotten used to the ice in a couple seconds, not slipping after that acrobatic maneuver. However, Amber wasn't as skilled with ice.

Kurobei rushed towards her. Before he could send a devastating punch at her, I went inbetween them and morphed Loki into a shield.

His fist slammed into my shield at an incredible speed, the sheer force and speed of the punch creating a shockwave and making my arms shake.

Another punch rammed against my shield as Kurobei attempted to take down my guard, and then take both of us down.

Bianca appeared behind him, sending a stab towards his head. He tilted it, the spear going straight past his ear. His floating book turned towards Bianca, shooting out a purple laser blast.

She dodged it as the book started to pursue her. Kurobei continued to hammer down onto my shield, my knees and legs shaking from each shockwave-inducing punch.

"Just! Go! Down!" He growled.

Amber, having regained her footing, jumped over me and slammed her fist down into Kurobei's face, sending him stumbling backwards.

"Back. Away. From. My. Man." Amber growled with equally as much venom as Kurobei had before.

"Damn you..." Kurobei gasped.

A spear protruded from his stomach as Bianca glared at him from behind. Ice started to spread across his body as she twisted the spear.

"Don't...touch...Ken..." Bianca slowly stated.

"Damn it, I didn't want it have to use this yet..." He mumbled, before his face twisted into a ferocious grin. "But I suppose I should show you the power of my king."

The horns in his head started to grow larger as some sort of red circle glowed from under his shirt. His shirt burst into flames, revealing his purple-ish body and some sort of red magical circle burned onto his chest.

The circle was glowing a bright red as Kurobei's eyes started to glow the same color as well. His skin slowly changed from the purple to a dark red.

The tips of his elongated horns were dyed black. He started to become taller as his legs morphed into some sort of a goat-like furry legs with clawed, black feet. His hands also became clawed, also darkening to become black.

A single black tail with a trident-like end protruded from his back, shaking through the air like a malicious sentient being.

"It took a good amount of power for my king to turn me into a demon, but he finally did it due to those two fresh souls I delivered." Kurobei grinned, before starting to cackle like a madman.

"...What?" I slowly asked.

"You heard me. I delivered those two souls to him. He's definitely eaten them by now and absorbed their power." Kurobei laughed, a psychotic look in his eye.

Bianca and Amber's fists tightened as they looked at Kurobei with a burning rage, giving him the darkest looks that I had ever seen.

I'm sure that if I could see myself, I would look the same.

"Die." I simply stated as I appeared in front of Kurobei, my foot slamming into his stomach and sending him flying.

He skipped across the ground like a stone before twisting his body midair. His clawed feet and hands grabbed onto the ground, stopping him from moving any further.

He slammed his fists down into the ground, purple laser blasts shooting out of the ground as they rushed towards me in a wave of destruction.

I simply moved out of the way, walking towards Kurobei while being deadly silent.

"What, cat got your tongue?" He mocked, before rushing towards me with his claws outstretched.

He sent a dangerous swipe towards my head with the intent to take it clean off. I blocked it with my arm, and in my other hand I morphed Loki into a gun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three fiery bullets slammed into his gut. While not piercing his skin, they knocked the air out of him. I grabbed him by the horns and slammed his face into my knee, making him stumble backwards.

Blue fire blazed into my hands. Kurobei sent a kick at me which I ducked under, before attempting to punch me.

I moved out of the way of his punch, but this allowed him to grab my neck with his other hand, lifting me into the air.

Bianca and Amber appeared behind him, slamming their respective weapons into his body. Unlike before, they didn't pierce his skin.

"Anything you want to say before I cripple you for life?" Growled Kurobei.

I didn't say anything.

"Fine. Have it your way." He prepared his other hand to drill straight through me.

Before I could I slammed my knee into his chin. He kept his grip on me as he rubbed his chin in annoyance. "That was futile, kid."

I slammed my knee into his chin once more.

"Okay, you better st-" before he could continue I poked out his eyes with my blazing hand.

"GAHHH!!!!" He screamed as he let go of me, stumbling backwards as he clutched at his eyes.

I flipped through the air, landing onto my feet and walking towards Kurobei as he writhed in pain. A kick into where the sun doesn't shine brought him down onto his knees.

I gripped him by the hair, pulling him up to face me. Well, it's not like he'd be able to see my face, not with both of his eyes gone due to the searing flames.

A crooked grin grew onto his face. "You're...too late...he's coming..."

"I know." I replied, cutting him off. "I'll make sure to give him a nice present for his arrival; your head."

His book shot another laser purple blast towards me in a last attempt to stop me. Pouring pure mana into my hand, I smacked away the blast, ignoring the pain.

Kurobei gasped as my grip on him didn't change.

"What?! Let me go, and maybe he'll have some mercy for the others! You can't beat him, even if you're-!" he started.

"I'm done talking." I replied. "You can talk to god now."

Loki morphed into a spear as I shoved it straight through his eye socket. The spear went straight through his head, protruding from the other side and killing him.

I pulled out the spear and let Kurobei's body drop to the ground, leaking black, demonic-like blood.

Pouring pure mana into my eyes, I watched as his soul floated into the air, free from his body. It started to fade right before my eyes.

I coated my hand in pure magic and gripped onto the soul despite the burning pain that racked my arm. It was fading, fast, and I needed whatever Kurobei had.

Loki, bond the soul to mine.

"We don't know what could happen. We've never tried this." Loki argued.

Then this will be the experiment. Just do it. Please.

"...Alright." Loki sighed.

I shoved the soul into my chest as an agonizing pain ripped through my body. I kept it in, not letting a sound leak out as Loki worked on bonding the souls.

It didn't matter what repercussions this might have. If it could let me retrieve Goku and Brandon's souls, then it's worth it.

I just hope they're still obtainable.

Looking back, the others had just finished off the rest of the Children of Lupercio. They laid down defeated, or ran away seeing Kurobei dead.

What loyal lackeys...

"Are you...okay..." Bianca asked me.

"I'm fine." I lightly smiled. "Just...a little tired."

Whatever Loki had done, it took a lot out of me.

"Messing with souls is dangerous and risky." Loki stated. "It drained quite a bit of your mana to bond them together without overly risking tearing the souls apart."

Well, thanks Loki.

Amber, Bianca, and I walked towards the others.

"Ken." Irene nodded. "Good job."

"Thanks." I replied.

"Did he have the souls?" Principal asked.

"No..." I sadly stated.

"Damn..." Principal muttered. "That means the one who has them is..."

The huge rift started to shake. It was strange, seeing this phenomenon. The rift shook as the world around us started to shake, as if an earthquake was passing by.

A single, demonically clawed hand shot out from the rift, gripping into it's side.

"...him." Principal finished. "The Demon King."
