AFTER ENTERING THE PORTAL
THEY SEE PITCH BLACK DARK
ONLY A BRIDGE IS VISIBLE
WHICH SLOPED DOWNWARDS
CEDING ITSELF TO THE ABYSS
BUT THE REAL PROBLEM WAS
THE BRIDGE OFFERED NO HANDRAIL
THEY STARTED WALKING DOWN THE BRIDGE
THAT CONNECTS THE BOTH REALM
IN A PITCH BLACK DARKNESS
IT'S GONNA TAKE A WHILE TO REACH
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS BRIDGE
RAMAYUKI SAID -
"DON'T FALL OFF
IF YOU FALL HERE
YOU'LL NEVER BE FOUND AGAIN"
"UMM....OKAY"
"BY THE WAY, WHAT DID HE MEANT BY NO MATTER
WHAT YOU SEE, KEEP YOUR HEROISM IN CHECK..??"
"YOU'LL SEE ONCE YOU GET THERE
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE
IGNORE IT, PRETEND LIKE YOU DIDN'T SEE IT
AND LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY
KEEP YOURSELF UNDER CONTROL THERE, OKAY???"
"EH? WHAT???"
"I SAID THERE WILL BE TONS OF DEMONS
WHO WILL TRY TO SEDUCE YOU
SO STAY AWAY FROM THEM
DON'T YOU DARE HAVING FUN WITH THEM
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS
I WON'T BE THERE TO SAVE YOU
YOU GUYS ARE ON YOUR OWN"
"DON'T WORRY
I CAN CONTROL MYSELF"
"SAYS SOMEONE WHO WAS DROOLING
BY GAZING THAT WOMAN IN RED DANCING'
"EH? I WASN'T LIKE THAT!!!
I MEAN I WAS
BUT IT WAS ALSO MY FIRST TIME
SEEING SOMETHING LIKE THIS
ANYWAYS
I WAS THINKING SOMETHING
I MEAN - FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL LIKE YOU
WANTING TO SAVE A CHILD
BUT HE WAS KIDNAPPED
NOT JUST BY ANYONE BUT
THE DEMON KING HIMSELF!!"
"WHAT'RE YOU TYING TO IMPLY??"
QAYOMI SAID - "HE WANTS TO SAY THAT WHAT IF
THIS BOY CALLED UKO MIGHT BE DEAD ALREADY "
KRISSHO SHOUTED - "DON'T SAY IT SO BLUNTLY!!!!"
"THEY WON'T KILL HIM
FOR NOW THAT IS"
"HOW ARE YOU SO SURE????"
"THEY LIKES TO PLAY WITH US HUMANS
OUR MORTAL SHELL, MIND, EMOTIONS, EVERYTHING!!"
"BUT HOW DO THEY DO THAT???"
"THEY KNOW OUR MOST VULNERABLE WEAKNESS
SO THEY USE IT AGAINST US"
"LOVE???"
"QAYOMIIIII!!!" FURIOUSLY RAMAYUKI CLENCHED
"IT WAS GRANDPA!!!!!!!" SHE JUSTIFYING HERSELF
"IT'S NOT LOVE YOU IDIOT!!"
"SO IS IT MONEY??"
"IT'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN THAT"
"WHAT'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN MONEY??? POWER??"
"TEMPTATION"
"WHAT???HOW?? SO???"
"TRY TO COMPREHEND OKAY??
EVEN THOUGH A PERSON IS BLIND FOR MONEY
IF ONE HAS MONEY - IN THE END HE'S POWERFUL
BUT IF A MAN OR WOMAN BLINDED BY TEMPTATION
THAT MAKES THEM PERVIOUS
SO MUCH THAT THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT THEY DO
BEING CLOUDED BY TEMPTATION IS FAR MORE WORSE
THAN BEING ENSLAVED BY MONEY
AT LEAST GREED GIVES YOU MONEY OR POWER
TEMPTATION IS THE WORST, CAUSE IT MAKES YOU VINCIBLE
THE DEMONS OF TEMPTATION UNDERSTAND IT SO WELL!
SO THEY KNOW HOW TO USE IT AGAIN US
YOU'LL SEE YOURSELF ONCE WE GO THERE
YOU'LL REALIZE THAT, THEY ARE THE DEFINITION OF TEMPTATION!!!"
"SO ARE YOU SAYING
THEY'RE GONNA CORRUPT UKO'S SOUL????"
"IT'S A GIVEN"
THEY'VE REACHED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PORTAL
RAMAYUKI SAID - "BE CAREFUL!!"
AS THEY SET FOOT TO THE OTHER SIDE
THERE WAS A DEMONESS WAITING FOR THEM
A BLUE CAPTIVATING DEMONESS
LONG BLACK HAIR WITH HORNS
ATTIRE SO ENCHANTING, TEMPTING
SHE WELCOMED THEM
AND SAID -
"WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
PLEASE FOLLOW ME
I'LL TAKE YOU GUYS TO THE CASTLE "
SEEING A DEMON FOR THE FIRST TIME
KRISSHO WAS SHOCKED!
GETTING CLOSE HE REALIZED
SHE WAS 1.5× BIGGER THAN NORMAL HUMAN
DIFFERENT SKIN TONE, HAVING ENLARGED PROPORTIONS
A COUPLE OF HORNS UP IN THE HEAD, VERY DIFFERENT
BUT THEIR PHYSICAL STRUCTURES RESEMBLES HUMAN'S
BUT THE MOMENT HE TOOK HIS EYES OF THAT DEMONESS
AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE BAAZAR
THERE WAS SOUND OF GHASTLINESS ALL OVER
LITERALLY FROM EVERY SINGLE HOUSE!!
THE SCREAMS OF HORROR WERE ECHOING
THE ECHO OF CORRUPTION - THE ECHO OF MALEVOLENCE
A GIRL COMPLETELY TERRIFIED CAME RUNNING OUT
FROM A HOUSE STUMBLING UPON SHE FALLS
HER EYES WIDENED IN TERROR
AS SHE PLEADS FOR MERCY
CRYING, WILL TORN TO PIECES, BEGGING FOR HER LIFE -
"PLZ!! PLZ!!! PLZ!!!! SPARE ME!!!!!
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!"
WATCHING KRISSHO PASSING BY
SHE BEGGED HIM TO SAVE HER LIFE
AS KRISSHO APPROACHING HER
THAT GUIDING DEMONESS SAID -
"I WOULDN'T DO THAT IF I WERE YOU"
RAMAYUKI SHOUTED - "STAY AWAY KRISSHO!"
AS A DEMON GROTESQUE ENOUGH TO BE AFRAID IN DARK
ALSO COMES OUT OF THE HOUSE
CLOSING IN HE TERRIFYING THE GIRL EVEN MORE
SHE PUSHED THE DEMON AWAY FROM HER
WITH ALL THE STRENGTH SHE HAD LEFT
TRYING TO FLEE BUT IN VAIN
HIS CLAWS OF DARKNESS PAVED THE WAY FOR HER ANKLE
ASSISTING IT TO GO
TOWARDS THE VERY SAME DIRECTION
SHE ESCAPED FROM
TO THAT HOUSE OF HORROR
AS SOON AS THE DOOR SLAMMED, HORRORS SCREAMED
AS THEY WERE GOING, KRISSHO ASKED -
"I DIDN'T EXPECTED IT TO BE THIS MUCH TRAUMATIC
AREN'T WE GONNA DO SOMETHING???"
"SOMETHING WHAT???"
"SAVING HER??!?"
"STOP TRYING TO SAVE EVERY SINGLE PERSON
YOU COME ACROSS TO!!! YOU CAN'T SAVE EVERYONE"
"SHE'S IN TROUBLE... CAN'T WE JUST ---"
"WHY DO YOU CARE??? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!!!
WE'RE HERE TO SAVE UKO, THAT'S OUR ONLY OBJECTIVE!!
EVERYTHING ELSE, PRETEND LIKE YOU DIDN'T SEE IT"
"WE DIDN'T KNOW THE WOMAN IN THE VILLAGE EITHER
BUT YOU SAVED HER ANYWAYS DIDN'T YOU??"
ON KRISSHO'S EYES THEY BOTH LOOKED LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON WHO SAVED THAT GIRL NOT SO LONG AGO FROM BURNING...
QAYOMI'S SILENCE ON EVERY WORD RAMAYUKI UTTERED
BOTHERED KRISSHO TO HIS CORE BECAUSE
HE THOUGHT QAYOMI WOULD BE A GIRL
WITH A STRONG SENSE OF JUSTICE
"QAYOMI, YOU TOO???"
STOP IT!! IT'S HER FAULT FOR GETTING CAUGHT
IN THE SHACKLED HAUL!!!"
CLENCHING HER TEETH SHE SAID
AVOIDING EYE CONTACT WITH KRISSHO
LOOKING AWAY, HIDING HER ANGER
"IT'S HER FATE, LET IT BE, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING"
"WOULD YOU STILL SAY THE SAME IF IT WAS QAYOMI??"
"IF IT WAS ME, THE DEMON WOULD BE DEAD ALREADY"
RAMAYUKI STOPPED WALKING, GLARING AT KRISSHO
"AND NOT EVERYTHING IS THE SAME, KID
YOU'RE FAR AWAY FROM REALITY!!
SPEND A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND YOU'LL REALIZE
JUST HOW HARSH THE COUNTENANCE OF REALISM IS!!
STOP ACTING LIKE A HERO, YOU'RE JUST DELUSIONAL"
"AND YOU ARE A COWARD, RAMAYUKI!!"
TURNING HIS FACE ON QAYOMI HE CONTINUES
"AND YOU QAYOMI, A HYPOCRITEI!! A HYPOCRITE!!"
ON THEIR FACE KRISSHO CALMLY SLAMS THE WORDS
"THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRAVERY & STUPIDITY
AND IF WE SAVE HER RIGHT NOW, SHE'LL BE A BURDEN
WE'RE HERE TO SAVE UKO, SO WE GOTTA FIGHT"
IGNORING HIS WORDS KRISSHO SIGHED
QAYOMI ADDS
"IT'S NOT EASY AS YOU THINK IT IS, KRISSHO
TRY TO CONTEMPLATE, IF YOU JUMP TO SAVE HER
THEN YOU'LL MAKE EVERY DEMON HERE IN SATAZADO
YOUR ENEMY, YOU CANNOT FIGHT THEM ALL KRISSHO"
"THEN I'LL DIE" HEROICALLY HE REPLIED!!!
ON THE GLIMPSE OF HIS IRON WILL AND FANTASY TALK
RAMAYUKI LAUGHING, MUFFLING UP HIS MOUTH
"HAHAHA!!! HAAHAHAHAAHAAAHHAAA!!!!"
HE LITERALLY LAUGHED FOR A SANDMITE (MINUTE)
"THIS KID IS HILARIOUS QAYOMI!!!
HEY KIDDO, ANSWER ME THIS"
ANNOYED KRISSHO SHRUGS, "WHAT!?"
"IF YOU DIE SAVING HER?
THEN WHO'S GONNA SAVE HER AFTERWARDS???"
"NO - I MEAN ---- YOU ----"
"PROTECTING SOMEONE ISN'T A ONE TIME THING KID
YOU GOTTA KEEP DOING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN
UNTIL THE DAY THEY BECOME SELF RELIANT"
IRRITATED KRISSHO BECOME
"YOU AND YOUR ANNOYING PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES!!!
BUT IF WE WANTED TO SAVE UKO WE GOTTA FIGHT THE DEMONS ANYWAY!! HOW'S THAT ANY DIFFERENT???"
"AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED WE WON'T HAVE TO
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON HERE
BETWEEN THE RAKA AND THE DEMONS
WE'LL KNOW ONCE WE MEET THE KING
AND IF WE DON'T ----
"I DON'T CARE, I'M GONNA SAVE HER!!!"
AS HE TURNS BACK TO SAVE HER, RAMAYUKI SHOUTS
"ASK YOURSELF KID!!! ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH???
IF NOT THEN, BE STRONG ENOUGH. SO THAT ONE DAY
YOU CAN SAVE THE PEOPLE YOU WANNA SAVE....."
KRISSHO' UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION
OUT OF GUILT, ASHAMED AT HIS OWN INCAPABILITIES
HE WALKS AWAY, FORWARD, COVERING HIS EARS
WHILE THE OTHER DEMONS IN THE BAZAR WERE
RELISHING THE SOUND OF HER SCREAM, THE HORROR
QAYOMI CLENCHING HER CLOTHES, NOT UTTERING A WORD
"I TOLD YOU BOTH NOT TO COME WITH ME"
THEY'VE REACHED THE CASTLE
A HUGE DARK SILVER CASTLE
ON THE ENTRANCE THERE'S AN IDOL
AS BIG AS THE CASTLE
OF THE GODDESS OF TEMPTATION
RAW, BEAUTIFUL, CAPTIVATING, UNVEILED
LOTS OF PEOPLE WORKING THERE
THEY CLIMBED UP THE STAIRS
WARRIORS WITH SAVAGE TOOLS
WERE GUARDING THE FRONT DOOR
BEFORE ENTERING THEY TOLD RAMAYUKI
"PUT YOUR AXE AT THE DOOR PLEASE"
RAMAYUKI SUMMONED HIS AXE AND
THEN HANDED IT OVER TO THEM
KRISSHO REALIZED EVERY DEMON JUST COVERS THEIR
LOWER GENITALS ONLY, LEAVING THE UPPER PART BARE
HE ALSO JUST REALIZED FEW OF THE DEMONS CAN
TALK IN HUMAN LANGUAGE BUT HOW??
WHO TAUGHT THEM THE HUMAN LANGUAGE???
THEY ENTERED THE DIVAN WHERE
TWO ROWS OF MINISTERIAL CHAIRS WERE FURNISHED
BEHIND THE QUEUE OF CHAIRS
CRIMSON CURTAIN DWELLS LIKE LEAVES
IN BETWEEN A SHINEY RED CARPET WAS SLEEPING
ON THIS END OUR WARRIORS WERE STANDING WHILE
ON THE OTHER END IT KISSED THE STAIRS...UP THERE
A GIANT RED THRONE WITH GOLDEN BORDER
HEADS SPIKEY, EMITTING THE VIBE OF RAW ROYALTY
ON IT A GROTESQUE FIGURE WAS SITTING
CROWN ON HIS HEAD, IN ROYAL ATTIRE....A MEMENTO
A SCAR FOUND IT'S WAY
FROM HIS LEFT EYE TO RIGHT CHIN
HE WAS SITTING, THE MONARCH!!
THE KING OF SATAZADO - KING RAVADARA!!!
SEEING RAMAYUKI AT THE DOOR HE SMIRKS
"SO YOU FINALLY CAME RAMAYUKI!!
LONG TIME NO SEE!!"
QAYOMI KRISSHO SHOUTED AT THE SAME TIME ASKING
"YOU KNOW THE DEMON KING!?!?!?!"
NARRATOR - WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING??
