"Goodbye, my sweet kitten"

…………

The demon Lilith had cemented her determination to hang her real daughter in her hands. The color of sorrow was seeping through her face, but it quickly faded away. Lili, who had nothing against him, stands ready for Lilith's attack.

"Huh..."

But Lilith never attacked Lilith. All of a sudden Lilith leaked her painful voice and took her gaze off Lilith. If you look closely at her hands, isn't there a flame of red lotus burning there?

"You, you're the devil. What can I do for you, Lili?

"Big brother."

Immediately after that, Lili's ears had a familiar voice. Fujiri looked back, and there was the look of Belle. I guess I went through this place on my way to chase the white boy.

"What can I do for you? Can you not pinch your mouth on the parent-child issue?

"Parents and children...? What the hell is going on?"

"Lili is my pretty daughter. With my own hands, I'll bury you."

"You're not my mom."

Bell, who just visited this place, naturally didn't understand what Lilith was saying. Belle also knows that Lili's mother is asleep in Riorg. To Lilith, who briefly explained, Lilith rebutted her voice roughly.

"... I'll protect Lili"

"How can you tell just people that you can protect them?

Lilith moved momentarily at the moment of the staring bell. Moving her gaze into her hand, the burns that were supposed to have been there earlier were gone.

"With this flame, I will protect you."

"Huff......"

At close range, Bell flies the fire towards Lilith.

But Lilith also traveled momentarily, and Bell's flames were easily avoided.

And then she showed up in front of Bell again.

"I am Lilith, the root demon of black magic (Grimoire). You can't beat the power of my Realm.

The power of the Realm?

"No matter what magic you use, how far you run is useless. All the space in this world is in my realm. I can fly anywhere in an instant."

"Something doesn't sound like a big deal"

"Don't take a sweet look at the power of the devil."

The power of the realm. It was an amazing thing to travel freely and instantly to the place of destination. Bell doesn't know how awesome it is, but the power of the realm (territory) holds great potential.

Talking about his own power, Lilith moved behind Bell. When Bell looked back after him, there was no more Lilith there. She took Bell's back again.

Lilith was making her abilities seem clear.

"You're not the one who licks humans."

That's how Bell flies flames at Lilith again.

Bell was first trying to explore the nature of Lilith's abilities. This is the third time for Bell to confront the devil. The battle needed to proceed with caution.

"Huhuhuhuhu..."

Naturally Lilith, as before, avoids Bell's attacks. He disappeared only the moment Bell attacked him, and Lilith appeared before Bell again. Simply hitting the flames like this doesn't reveal it.

But it could have hurt Lili and Allen if they had practiced extensive black magic (Grimoire).

"You look just like you did... this situation"

At this time, Bell was remembering a little old battle.

It's the battle against the Ghost in Adford's Spiritual Cave. Belle and Sedona cooperated in attacking the coal mine chief who appeared free to disappear.

As a result it never led to the thread of victory, but this time it was likely to be effective.

"Be careful or you'll burn."

"Oh, that's a pretty line."

With a thin laugh, Bell fired again at Lilith in front of him. Of course, Bell didn't just attack his enemies from the front, as he had done before.

"Huh... I don't like it. You burned your skin."

Shortly after, Bell felt Lilith's voice from behind. Bell, who was treading behind Lilith's back, was using his hands to fly flames back and forth.

The operation was successful and could do damage to Lilith, even though it was small.

"You're a cowardly force. Run away, run away, run away. You can't just run, I can't kill you."

"Don't underestimate me. If that's what you want me to say, don't run away."

As before, Lilith dodged with instant travel when Bell pursued the fireworks again. You can't do her any damage without poking a gap in Lilith's life.

Bell was deliberately provoking Lilith to drive her crazy.

"Look, now you don't have to run anymore."

"Knock..."

At the next moment, Bell was suddenly restrained all over his body by several Ibarras. Ibarra, who moves like a snake, instantly deprived Bell of his physical freedom.

And the countless thorns that grew on Ibarra erode Bell's body one by one.

"I told you, didn't I? This is what happens because you see my power sweetly. My black magic (Grimoire) isn't just about moving myself. You can activate magic wherever you want."

"Lilith... you're a famous demon, aren't you?

"You may be famous... but I think Arosha in you is quite famous too"

"You know I'm Black Sartain."

"Yeah... Arrosha was a Black Moon participant"

"That's an interesting way to call it. But Arosha might be the victim, in a way?

Lilith knew Arrosha existed in Bell. Not only that, but she seems to know Arrosha before she was possessed by Bell's body.

"What do you mean?

"Unlike you, Arrosha hasn't been able to take my body. It's the same as being in a small hut."

"I can't believe I can't even take the body of such a child... I can't even rely on Arrosha anymore"

"I have a" Haunted Inn Door ”in me..."

"Whatever ⁉ The Ghost Inn door should only exist inside Adam. The Haunted Inn door only exists in the First Man."

"The door in me is fake. Was there a man besides me with a door in his body?"

And yet another new truth was revealed. The real "Haunted Inn Door” existed inside the "First Man” Adam.

A ghost inn door is a door to separating the human world from the devil's. That door exists in another human being, just like Bell.

"What you're saying doesn't sound like a lie. Surely you have a door in you. I am the first demon to come to Oz through the door of the Haunted Inn. And you don't look anything like Adam."

"I'm me. So? Did you take that Adam's body?

Lilith used the “Devil's Eye” to confirm that a door existed in the bell. Lilith also seems to be the first demon to make contact with a human being.

"The body of those with the door of the Haunted Inn could not be taken away by the devil. So instead, Eve got a woman's body. This is the body."

"The door inside me is fake, so you have a contract for possession..."

Belle was smiling unconsciously, feeling like she had found out a little about her mysterious body. With doors in his body as well as Adam, Bell was a strange human being like no other.

"I'm starting to get a little interested in you. As much as I want to break Arrosha's contract and dive into her body."

"I didn't say anything disgusting. Let's get this over with and get this fight over with."

Bell, who had been listening to Lilith for a while, burned down the entangling Ibarras with ease.

Being the subject of the Haunted Inn door, Bell was just interrupting the fight with Lilith, driven by curiosity. Detention by Ibarra was almost meaningless to Bell.

"Well... it's a waste of time talking to a dying person."

"Is that it? Didn't you run away?

There's no escape.

Lilith, who agreed with Bell, moved to a position away from Bell.

"Gu... gu"

Shortly afterwards, something abruptly struck Bell's body. It's an Ibarra snake. The Ibarra snake, which emerged from nowhere, strikes Bell's body like a whip. There isn't only one Ibarra snake that attacks Bell's body, of course.

"Belle."

"Big brother."

After wearing Bell's body, Ibarra's snake wrapped around Bell's wrists. The thorns that grow in them hurt Bell's body relentlessly.

Already Bell was bleeding from every part of his body. Unexpectedly Lili and Allen raise their voices to that painful sight.

"What are you going to do? You can't kill me like that."

"Look up."

⁉ ︎

Having burned down all the Ibarras as before, Bell had a belligerent grin.

But the attack by Ibarra was just a positive move. Lilith's true aim was to divert Bell's attention from Ibarra's attack.

As Bell turned up, he found that a new threat was imminent.

A large amount of debris was coming down on the bell, not knowing where it was coming from. That was very similar to the pile of debris on which Lilith first stood.

Lilith is not the only one who can be moved momentarily.

"Damn... don't fuck with me"

At this time, Bell was smiling for some reason. Does previous combat experience make Bell come up with a way to crack this situation down?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

As Bell advanced to the second stage of erosion, his hands were stretched high.

And he stared at the debris coming down and shouted out as if to temper him.

Gowwwwwww...

Then the bonfire of the Red Lotus swirls to cover the entire body of the bell. The whirlpool fires heat up the surrounding area.

When the bell shouted loudly as the hot air blew, it finally activated.

reverse flame

Using the bell as the source, a giant flaming cloud emerged. It was not a plume falling from the top, but an upside down plume stretching high in heaven.

An extraordinarily powerful flame intercepts the falling debris as a result of advancing erosion.

"Heh... sounds like you're using Arrosha's powers a lot."

"Heh."

The reverse flame burned the falling debris easily. Having finished producing the flame, Bell returned the immediate erosion (Illusion) to the first stage in order to preserve his health.

Bell was able to use erosion efficiently.

"You finally attacked me decently."

"I don't think it's going to end this way."

Bell was starting a new battle preparation to be able to respond to Lilith's next attack. He wipes the blood dripping from his mouth with his right index finger and attaches that finger to his left palm.

Bell then used his own blood to draw a "Flame Mark” on his left palm as well.

In Rottervania, I guess I remembered the advice I received from Arrosha. The keys to the control of the flames are marked. By increasing the number of flame marks, Bell thought he would be able to manipulate the flames more freely.

"Before this flame, your snake is powerless."

As Bell spread his hands, Hellfire instantly enveloped his body.

Then gradually the flame wrapped around Bell's entire body went smaller, and eventually the flame faded like skin. Bell's figure, covered with flaming armor all over his body, was also like Arrosha, who had become man-made with fire-guided stones.

Bell must have applied the flaming armor he used during the ancient orb collection. This will disable Lilith's attack on Ibarra. From now on, we shouldn't be taking any more damage. Even if it wasn't heavy damage, the attack by Ibarra was steadily cutting Bell's health.

"I thought about it."

"You can't catch me anymore. Now it's my turn to get you."

With that said, Bell began to imitate Lilith to produce snake-like flames. An elongated flame is crawling on the ground like a snake. The fiery serpent slowly proceeded towards Lilith's body.

"That's sweet. That's not how you get me."

"Can't you be serious..."

No matter how many flaming serpents he created, Lilith would never have caught it. Unlike Bell, restraining Lilith, who can travel instantly, is a business of difficulty. A burgeoning operation that pokes surprises and ensures damage was required in this situation.

Lilith was enjoying this situation. She kept traveling nearby on purpose, not far from the bell. Are you enjoying the fight by avoiding the critical flaming serpent?

"Oh, just fine."

Lilith suddenly began to fight back as Bell contemplated his next attack.

Now from nowhere, are countless needles suddenly flying towards the bell? But if that's due to Lilith's Ibarra, he'll be powerless before the flaming armor. Bell didn't see Lilith's new attack as much of a problem.

"Yikes..."

But contrary to Bell's expectations, Lilith's attacks were never rendered powerless by the flaming armor. The mysterious needle pierces Bell's body without being extinguished by flaming armor. One needle after another poured rain on the bell in response to the delay.

"What the... damn it!

The needle remains stuck in Bell's body.

To remove the countless needles, Bell aggressively proceeded to the second stage of erosion. The increased power of the flaming armor burned down needles that were easily pierced.

"With the power of the realm, we can do this."

"What is that thing now?

"I don't know... I just moved someone else's black magic (Grimoire) here somewhere else"

"That's a hell of a lot of magic."

The Black Magic of the Realm (Territory) (Grimoire) was a more convenient magic than Bell could have imagined. You don't have to spend a lot of magic on yourself to borrow the black magic (Grimoire) that someone uses somewhere in the world.

"Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu

As if to mock the bell, Lilith keeps moving momentarily around the bell. Move freely and instantaneously what exists all over the world. That seems to be Lilith's greatest ability.

"Before they do, I'll finish..."

⁉ ︎

Then without getting her hair in, Bell inflated the flaming armor that wrapped herself. The flaming armor swelled up in an instant, enveloping the surroundings.

The fireworks giant that emerged in an instant swallowed Lilith without giving him a escape gap. Lilith, swallowed by the giants of the Fire, instantly fled outside it. Otherwise, Lilith loses her human body.

"It's not a human lick."

………

Bell stared at Lilith, who had gone outside the giant of the Fire. Lilith could not be held hostage by the giants of the Fire.

But the body has a painful burn spreading. Poke Lilith's gap and let the powered flames bathe even for a moment. That was what Bell was after.

"Don't do it. It's time to get real."

…………

Swallow by the Giants of Fire, Lilith's expression was clearly different than before. Lilith's eyes are open and her eyes are running bloody.

And the neighborhood began to tremble tremendously, proportional to her anger.

"Huhuhuhuhu..."

"What are you going to do..."

At the same time, Lilith began to travel instantly at high speeds. Her appearance, repeated instantaneous travel at the speed of light, was visible to hundreds more. The illusion of the eye makes hundreds of liliths seem to surround the bell.

"You can't just run away."

"Oops!

When Bell wields the fist he grips, the giant of the fireworks takes the same move, as linked to it. A giant fiery fist would target Lilith, but it would never hit her.

Then, for a while, Bell continued his attack by the fireworks giant.

But no matter how much you attack, the Fist of Fire will never capture Lilith. Her speed of movement was jumping more than ever before. Completely, Bell's speed hasn't caught up.

"Huh... maybe it's time for me to attack"

Lilith wasn't just traveling at high speeds.

She kept moving around to surround the bell, and the trajectory depicted a giant sphere. The more time you travel, the more gigantic spheres go together in a silver glow.

"What the... ⁉"

"Sister, they're going to fly ~!

The silver sphere causes a storm and winds up the debris around it. In that silver breeze, Lili and Allen were about to get involved as well.

"People in good shape need to give it to you."

"Knock...!

Demons use black magic (Grimoire) beyond man's imagination. To prepare for an unknown attack, Bell was trying to further erode (Illusion).

"Stop, Mother."

Lili shouted out loudly when Lilith tried to activate an unknown black magic trick (Grimore). The strong cry stopped Lilith from moving.

When Lilith stopped moving at all, the silver glow and the silver wind disappeared.

The cry was also Lili's readiness.

My mother was the devil. It's hard to accept, but it's a truth that won't change no matter how much you deny it.

It's just that she never accepted Lilith. Lili just admitted the fact that her beloved mother is just one Stella Wallace sleeping in Riorg.

…………

"I changed my mind. I knew I couldn't kill you."

"What the hell are you gonna say?

"Huff... that I'm not going to fight anymore."

Bell couldn't hide his confusion in a situation that was too sudden.

"Are you... are you really Lili's mother?

"Yeah, that's what Lili said, too. I'm just happy to hear Lili say that."

…………

As a result, Lili's readiness became the key to getting out of this predicament. If it doesn't belong to you, disappear. Lilith was the bearer of such extreme thoughts, but Lilith's words, ready, changed her mind.

"Lili, it's good to see your lovely knight."

……………

Lilith disappeared, neglecting to say so. Lilith, who suddenly appeared and left, was just like a storm.

Too sudden, too shocking truth strikes Lili with a time difference.

"Are you all right?

"Yeah...... I'm fine"

You loosened your mind that you were tense, Lili fell into the spot.

"Why are you all here? Valentis doesn't have the ingredients to investigate Dawn Moon."

"Eh, eh, eh"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey."

The first question Bell had after the battle with Lilith. That was to say why Lili and Allen were in the off-limits ruins district.

What the hell do they say they snuck in here with an M.O.?

"If you don't think you're coming after me, what are you doing here?"

"Chip... if you say so, you've been in a mess."

"Mr. Ghost, here!

That person reappeared before them when Bell tried to question Lili. As soon as the white boy appeared before the bells, he left the spot.

Bell followed him out of Elba Castle in the first place. For the first time since Adford, Belle, Lili and the white boy looked at each other.

"Lili, hide somewhere safe with Allen. I'll go after him."

"Could that be him..."

"I met him in Adford. He's a jerk."

"Wait a minute! Can you fight with such a worn out body?

"Don't worry. Just think about yourselves."

When Bell spoke hastily to Lili, he immediately went after the white boy. Bell doesn't have the means to recover now. Until Trump Circus, he possessed the Shizuku of the Starry Sky, but it was taken away by Judy.

Even if it wasn't huge, Lilith's Ibarra had definitely left Bell's body damaged. Bell, who made a wound in his body, can never be described as in full condition. Can we beat that white boy in that state?

"I hope you're okay..."

Lili stared sadly at Bell's back as she left.

In Adford, the first time I saw Bell and the white boy. Will the battle between two men with the same face finally determine the female male?
