Alfonso was holding the dagger while looking at the fallen Bernio, he tried to talk but his head was already spinning, he collapsed on the ground once more.

"Drakini, how long can you maintain my life?" Asked Alfonso.

"S-s-sir! I wont be able to maintain it too long! My powers are reaching its limit!" Said Drakini with worry.

The only reason he could walked up and stab Bernio was because of the power of Drakini, who was using the few power of time it had to maintain him alive. However, he was gradually losing the control over Alfonso's injury.

"Ja, this is the third time I am close to death, it really is amusing how come I already experience this, is still frightening" Murmured Alfonso.

"SIR! You must endure it! Miss Demeter and company will come soon!" Said Drakini.

"I know that… I am going to be fine… I have so much to do…"

"However…"

Gradually, Alfonso's eye began to close.

"SIR!"

"Keep it down Drakini… its nothing… I… am just sleepy… I am going to close my eyes for a bit…" Said Alfonso…

"Alfonso!" Someone said something, however, Alfonso couldn't heard it anymore he closed his eyes and immersed in darkness.

.................................…

"What is this bad feeling?" Though Demeter.

She was having a hard time with the dark creatures, although she was powerful, her strength hasn't come back just yet.

"Hurry, I must hurry!" Said Demeter.

"Miss Demeter, the creatures seem strange!" Shouted Hans, who was also fiercely fighting at her side.

When Demeter looked up, she saw the creatures backing up, they retreated slowly to the darkness, Hans and Demeter where confused, however, they knew that something must have happened to the Beastmaster.

"Hurry! That guy wasn't an easy opponent" Said Demeter.

"My lady!" Shouted Hans while ignoring the injuries in his bodies.

Both of them rushed towards the way Alfonso and Anastasia headed to.

When they arrived they were stunned, they saw one small pair of blue eyes looking at them.

"Cerberus!?" Asked Demeter.

"Demeter, you finally came, it seems that your battle was hard" Said Cerberus.

"Where is Alfonso?" Asked Demeter.

"… He is over there" Said Cerberus.

"ALFONSO!" Shouted Demeter.

"MY LADY! WHERE IS MY LADY!?" Asked Hans in hurry.

"She is over there, she is gravely injured, however, her life isn't in danger" Said Cerberus.

"My lady" Hans run towards the body of Anastasia, who was being carried up by the wolves.

"Come with me Demeter" Said Cerberus while he slowly walked towards Alfonso.

Demeter rushed towards the place where Cerberus signaled at, when she get there, she almost burst in tears.

"Hey Demeter, good to see you are fine" Said Alfonso with a small smile.

She felt as a heavy stone was lifted from her shoulder, she almost rushed towards Alfonso to give him a big hug, however, someone stop her.

"Demeter, don't be happy so early, I have some bad news for you" Said Cerberus.

"What is it?" Said Demeter.

Cerberus looked in front of him and made a fierce expression.

"The person in front of you is not Alfonso!" Shouted Cerberus.

Alfonso looked at Cerberus and smiled.

"What are you talking about Cerberus? I am indeed Alfonso Lockheart, come on Demeter, give me a big hug" Said Alfonso while opening his arms.

Demeter looked at Alfonso, she walked towards him and hugged him.

"I knew that my Demeter would know me better" Said Alfonso.

"I know you like the palm on my hand… because I love Alfonso Lockheart, now…" Said Demeter.

She grabbed the collar of Alfonso.

"TELL ME"

Alfonso looked at Demeter with a playful smile.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ALFONSO"

"CHRONO!" Said Demeter with hate.

Alfonso looked at Demeter and couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"What is so funny!?" Asked Demeter

"Nothing~ is quite amusing to me actually; a god falling in love with a mortal, this kid has quite the luck" Said 'Alfonso'.

"You…" Demeter tightened harder.

"Are you sure you want to keep pressing like that? I might not be Alfonso, but this body is certainly his~" Said Alfonso.

Demeter wanted to say something more but she couldn't, in the end, she released Alfonso.

Alfonso…no… Chrono massaged his neck and tied his outfit.

"How come you were so happy after seeing a mortal, but, when you see your own family, you such a disgusted face, this old man feels quite sad" Said Chrono with a 'sad' expression.

"Don't push it… I might not b able to injury Alfonso's body, however…" Said Demeter while grabbing her scythe.

"I can extinguish your soul… right here, right now!" Said Demeter.

"Je, be my guess, I am already tired of live, however, I will remain you this since you care for this boy, Alfonso's soul is currently resting in my domain of time, since he was at the verge of death, if I died, my domain dies with me, and he will enter the underworld, giving your current strength, you won't be able to save him" Said Chrono with amusement .

"Such a thing…"

"I can be whatever you want, however, I am not a liar~" Said Chrono.

Demeter looked at the smiling face of Chrono and was infuriated, however, she unwillingly nodded.

"Hehe, I knew you were reasonable, come on, take the chance, you won't be able to embrace Alfonso once he returns to this body, come on~" Said Chrono.

"Once Alfonso's comes back, I will send you to the Tartarus myself!" Said Demeter in anger.

"I will be waiting for that, however, you will need to bear with me for some time, after all, the kid will need at least three months to recover" Said Chrono.

"Three months!?" Asked Cerberus.

"And that's thanks to the fact that I am using the power of time, if not, he could be stay there for years, don't need to thank me, I am benevolent and magnificent" Said Chrono.

"Don't talk anymore; I don't you to use Alfonso's voice" Said Demeter.

"Hehe, I will enjoy this months a lot" Said Chrono.
