Alfonso and company went ahead towards the inner part of the jungle, the point where he and Carmine would meet each other.

Carmine already had a place in mind, so she told Alfonso to look for the snake's cave.

At first, Alfonso didn't understand what she meant, however, Carmine assured Alfonso that he would know when he got there.

"I understood now what she meant, the snake's cave huh" Said Alfonso.

The entrance of the cave looked like a snake's mouth.

"In fact, this doesn't look like it was made by nature itself" Thought Alfonso.

He entered the cave and saw that the entrance suddenly changed!

"Illusion" Said Cerberus.

"I didn't think that someone else had illusion powers apart from you, Cerberus" Said Alfonso.

"That's not quite right" Said Cerberus.

"What do you mean?" Asked Alfonso.

"My powers are inherited by my race, which means, everyone in my clan will, eventually, acquire a knowledge of the illusion power… but this… this is on another level on its own" Said Cerberus.

"Let's wait here, she should be coming soon" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso sat in the cave and take a good look at his body.

To his surprise, he discovered something new.

"What is this…" Though Alfonso.

He felt the power of time on his body, more powerful and stable and powerful than ever!

However, that wasn't all.

"Someone is calling me…" Though Alfonso.

"No… not someone…"

"Something…"

The cane of time was tingling while Alfonso felt like the… thing that was calling him was near and near.

More like finding…

It felt more like a reencounter…

Like a loss friend…

"It's almost here…" Though Alfonso.

"Hmm?" Cerberus looked at Alfonso who was looking at the entrance of the cave.

"What is this…?" Said Cerberus.

"S-S-Sir…" Said Drakini.

"I know…" Said Alfonso.

Suddenly…

*PUM*!

An object when flying towards Alfonso and company!

"Ugh!"

"Carmine!" Shouted Alfonso.

The 'object' that pierced the cave was no other than Carmine!

"Carmine, are you okay!?" Asked Alfonso.

"Alfonso…" Said Cerberus while trembling.

Alfonso turned towards the direction Cerberus was looking at.

"…" Alfonso looked at the winged creature in front of him.

Without meeting before, Alfonso could tell who this demon was.

"Amadeus…" Said Alfonso.

Amadeus looked at Alfonso and recalled what happened a few hours ago.

.....................................................

Amadeus looked at the scene in front of him with interest.

"I can't let people see this…" Though Amadeus.

He turned off the screens and only he could watch what was going on.

In the scene, a man was holding onto a long-eared woman while realizing a green aura.

"So this is it! This is!"

"The power I have been looking for!"

Amadeus realized his aura while smiling.

"With this power…." He though.

In an instant, he disappeared from sight.

......................................................…..

Carmine looked at the sky. While thinking about the promise she just made.

"It's time for us to return home" She thought.

She walked for a few minutes before stopping in place.

"…"

She stood there while someone approached her from behind.

"So you finally show yourself" Said Carmine.

She turned around.

"Amadeus"

"You finally are showing your fangs, Carmine" Said Amadeus.

"You talk like this was in your plans" Said Carmine.

"I knew that you would eventually try to bite your master" Said Amadeus with a smirk.

"Be very careful with your words, Amadeus"

"You understand that your sister is still under my control, don't you?" Said Amadeus.

"Yours? Don't be mistaken Amadeus, you are just a dog who licks its master ass, that's why you have the… advantage… however, it won't last long"

"What do you mean"

Carmine laughed but didn't say more.

"You bitch…" Said Amadeus.

He tried to activate the collar on Carmine's neck, but, in an instant, Carmine appeared in front of him!

"You!" Said Amadeus.

*PUM*!

Amadeus was sent flying by a kick of Carmine.

But that didn't end there.

Carmine reappeared once more behind Amadeus and kicked him in the back!

*BAM*!

Amadeus was sent to the ground, but, before he could hit the ground the assault of Carmine continued!

*BAM*

*BAM*

*BAM*

Amadeus couldn't catch a break while Carmine broke every bone of Amadeus.

"Let's end this" Said Carmine.

She lifted her punch and focused all of her soul aura on it!

"DIE!" Shouted Carmine.

"CARMINE"

Just as the punch of Carmine was about to impact Amadeus, she heard a voice from behind.

She turned around and saw a giant shadow on her!

She retreated with all her might and was barely able to dodge the attack of the shadow.

She looked and saw two persons.

She felt a pain in her chest.

"Sister" Said Carmine.

A six-winged person with blonde hair and green eyes was in from of her.

However, she wasn't the only one…

"Hehe, It seems that you made the right call to call me before coming here" Said the man while putting his feet on Amadeus's bleeding face.

"My…my lord" Said Amadeus with reverence.

Four wings appeared from the back of the man, while his big mouth made a twisted smile.

"Carmine, it seems that you have forgotten who is in charge" Said the man.

Carmine trembled in rage while the collar on her neck activated.

"AHHHHHHH!" Carmine shouted in pain while the collar let out black smoke that quickly entered to the eyes and nose of Carmine.

"Stop" Said Lucy.

"Your sister is going on a rampage and the only thing you have to said is stop?" Said the man.

Lucy walked in front of the man and kneeled on the ground.

"I beg your forgiveness" Said Lucy.

The twisted smile on the man become bigger while he put his feet on Lucy's head and pushed it to the ground.

"Haha, who would say that one day, I would have the great queen of darkness kneeling for forgiveness, life sure is interesting!" Said the man.

"Sis…" Carmine cried while she saw the scene in front of her.

"But anyway, I still have some uses for you two so…"

He stopped the collar and the aura stopped leaking from it.

"And my little one seems to be hungry as well"

He took out from his neck, a black object.

The black object was not too big and looked like a small diamond.

The object leaked a red aura while it pointed in one direction.

"It's finally time" Said the man with excitement.
