Chamber doesn't know how long he has been falling, all around him is nothingness, only himself and chilling bck spabined with the variety of colors that swirls around the bck space. Chamber felt very uled. As if he was not alone in this weird space.

  Soon enough, a small glowing ball with a myriad of colors appeared in front of him, ting up to six different colors in a single ball of light

  'What?' Chamber muttered under his breath, his eyes watg as the myriad clowing ball as small as an eyeball circled around him, slightly illuminating the dark space he was in.

  Just as Chamber was tempted to reach out and touch the glowing ball, It wisped forward on the hole in his chest, as if it had entered his body.

  'What?' Uttering in fusion, Chamber reached his hand towards the hole, however before he could do so, his vision darkened again.

  ***

  "Lady Serafall, we received an order directly from Lady Leviathan. The church has dared to tarnish her glorious name, so she ordered us to destroy three of their churches and kill their respective popes." In the middle of lush trees aiful mountains, a rge glowing circle faded in on the ground and five figures appeared in the middle of it.

  "I uand. What's our location now?" In the middle of them stood a long bck-haired woman with quite a short stature but big assets. Her magnifit purple bead-like eyes shone upon the sunlight as solemnity bore on her cute and smooth face.

  "We're currently 10 miles away from a settlement of what humans call Jerusalem. This pce reeks of those pesky angel's st." The devil servant on her side spoke with an obnoxious tone in his voice.

  "Hmm? Isn't that the pce where Jesus Christ was crucified?" Serafall questioned with a surprised face.

  "Indeed, although this is the pce that killed The Big G's son, they have turheir front to him thanks to Jesus's apostles spreading his gospel to them despite what they did to him."

  "And now, Jerusalem is currently ruled by the Mamluk Sultanates from Egypt. Christianity is currently one of the dominant religions here aside from Jews and Muslims. So we find many Christian churches to destroy." After a minute of expining, Serafall finally got the gist of Jerusalem's slight history.

  "Let's split for now. I'll scout the south side of Jerusalem, while you guys go on your own ways." After giving an order, Serafall quickly disappeared from her pce before her subordinates could stop her.

  "Lady Serafall! Wait!" Unfortunately, it was already too te as Serafall was o be seen.

  ***

  "Fwoo! I hate this….When will the war end." Serafall sighed, she hated the war. The war started a thousand years ago and now, she has bee part of it.

  However, from the looks of it, the tensioweewo sides is heating up. This means any moment now, the four Satans and the Big G would csh soon and who knows what the Fallen Angels are doing at the moment.

  'Perhaps this year would mark the end of the Great War.' She whispered under her breath.

  Raising her head, only then did she notice that she was currently standing on the side of Jerusalem's busy streets, watg as the humans and camels walked side by side, some merts selliables and fruits while others serving as breadwinners in the family, w various jing from delivery to heavy carriers.

  Seeing all this reminded Serafall of something that she never experienced in the underworld.

  Peace.

  A cept that she never experienced and probably wouldn't iure. She smell from years away that the future of the devils will be bloody. Very bloody.

  Shaking her head from suaive thoughts, she was about to tinue scouting when suddenly, her magical senses fred, sensing a disturban the air.

  Immediately upping her guard in case of a surprise attack from the church, she was left stunned upon the sight of a magical bck hole appearing in the air, gathering not only her but also the humans' attention.

  "What is that?"

  "It's a miracle! Perhaps the one and only saviod has e to save us from our sins!"

  "Oh no," Serafall muttered to herself, she khat this would soon reach the ears of the churd would alert them.

  "[Camoufge]." Muttering a magic spell to herself, she slowly turned invisible from the eyes of the normal, blending with her surroundings like a chameleon.

  At the same time, the bck hole spat out an unscious figure with a rge hole in his chest, something that no normal human being could survive.

  "A human? No, his magical capacity is te for a human." Serafall muttered fusedly. However, there's no point in muttering as the figure fell towards the ground.

  Using her quick reflexes and speeds, she smoothly caught the figure and carried him in her arms.

  Unfortunately for her, that is not the case for others as in their eyes, the figure with a hole in his chest was floating above the ground.

  "I-It's a miracle! He's flying!"

  Gasp!

  Followed by collective gasps, Serafall knew she o get out of here.

  Using her speed as a High-css Devil, she disappeared from her pce along with the unscious figure.

  "H-He disappeared!"

  "Quick! Inform the guards!"

  ***

  Appearing at an abandoned and dipidated building, Serafall uncovered herself from [Camoufge] aly id down the dying figure.

  "He's dying," Serafall muttered to herself after using her Devil power to sehe man's life ford saw it depleting rapidly.

  "Ajuka, if this doesn't work, I'll make sure to give you a brain freeze." She muttered to herself as she took out a small piece of bishop from a famous game called Chess.

  However, what she holds is still a prototype acc to Ajuka, which means it has still not been officially released to the publi the Underworld and is still in the middle of testing.

  Gently pressing it on the unscious figure's chest, Serafall watched with her purple bead eyes as the Bishop piece remaiill for a few moments, as if not responding to Serafall's iions.

  "It's not w. What did I expect, it's just a prototype after al-" With a sigh ing out from her, Serafall was about to retract the Bishop piece when something unimaginable happened.

  The Bishop piece suddenly glowed in red light that dissolved and spread across the unscious figure's entire body, slowly but surely c him pletely.

  "It's w?" Serafall hesitantly muttered under his breath ahe unscious boy, not daring to interfere with the process of devil reination as Ajuka likes to call it.

  Much to her delight, the red light dissipated into red particles and it may look like nothing ged on the boy however, the rge hole that apanied his chest was no lohere, repced by a smooth white chest with a slight outline of muscles.

  Serafall sloroached the figure and crouched, using her fio trace his chest where the hole should've been.

  "Ajuka, you smart dog, it worked!" Serafall smiled, she could already sehe figure's magical power verting into the Devil Power, which means the boy is turning into a devil! A full-fledged devil!

  She knows how important this is to the Devils who, unlike humans, have a very low fertile rate, only being able to give birth to a devil on a hundred years per family.

  But with Ajuka's iion, devils will no longer have the popution problem!

  Sure the popution of the devils is still rge but acc to Ajuka and his supposed vision, the Devil popution will decrease drastically if the Great War tinues.

  Every year, thousands of devils die while only hundreds of devils are born during the same year.

  What does that mean? It means the ratio of decreasing devil popution is rger than increasing!

  ***

  Chamber 't remember the st time he felt this good. His ag chest which was in searing pain was no lohere.

  Opening his eyes, Chamber felt the heat of the sun rays hitting his face, quickly raising his arm to block it, his blurry eyes slowly adjusting aing sharper as the sed passed.

  By the time his eyes recovered from the blurriness, he then noticed that his perception was sharper than usual.

  Discarded pieces of rotten wood, cobwebs in almost every er of the room, small flies minding their business and eveiny specks of dust be seen with his naked eyes.

  His smell was also the same, he smell the st of what he assumes to be the smell of sand, sunlight and even a slightly spicy st from somewhere he 't fully pinpoint.

  "What the?" fused by the situation and where he was, Chamber tried to stand but before he could do so, a voiterrupted him, making him freeze.

  "I don't think you're supposed to move after rec, human." Slowly shifting his head towards the source of the voice, Chamber quickly took a sharp breath upon seeing a piece of art that he had never seen before in his life.

  Standing in the er of the room was a short woman with shiny purple bead eyes, her long and smooth bck hair reag almost below her waist, however, what truly caught his attention was her armored wear.

  Unlike several wearings sisting of clothes, the woman in front of him looks like someohat came out of a fantasy novel, she was wearing a mix of red and bck shiny armor with a blue tinge on her pauldrons. The most distinguishable about her suit of armor was the rge carving on her front armor of what Chamber assumed to be a rge shat looked more like a dragon.

  Moving downwards, unlike her heavily armored top, her bottom was nothing like that. Instead, she was wearing a simple but long bck skirt that reached below her knees.

  "….ello? Hello? Human? Are you okay? Why are you looking at me like that?" Suddenly, Chamber snapped back to reality and noticed how the woman was now really close to him and was stantly waving her hand and snapping her fingers in front of his face.

  "I-I'm sorry, but…who are you?"

  "Oh, thank the devils you're okay, I thought the Evil Piece had some kind of side effect. Anyway, since you asked for this one's name she shall tell. My name is Serafall Sitri of the Great Sitri , though I don't think you've heard of it sidering how I found you."

  At first, Chamber was fused by her words. What is the Evil Piece she was talking about and why would it have a side effect? tinuing, however, Chamber's ears quickly perked up upon heari sentence.

  'Serafall Sitri of the Sitri ? Did I somehow portaled myself to the outskirts somewhere in Europe? Is she supposed to be a Noble? If so, why is she wearing an armor? It's already ih tury, only cospyers and such would wear armor.'

  'And what does she mean by how she found me?'

  So many questions were fshing in Chamber's mind, yet he wouldn't have any answer unless he asked the said questions to the weird but pretty woman in front of him.

  "Hm? You're dazing again, should I ask Ajuka to check you up? Maybe the Evil Piece has indeed a side effect." Expressing her out loud, Chamber was finally uo hold his curiosity and barraged her with several questions.

  "What do you mean you're from the Great Sitri ? Where am I? How did you find me? Why am I still alive? Why are you wearing an armor?"

  "Wait wait hold on! Stop asking me so many questions, I'll ahem one by one. First of all, I uand that you don't know about the Sitri , you're a human after all and if ever you've heard of us, I'm sure it wouldn't be something good. Sed, you're in what you humans call Jerusalem. Third, I found you ing out of a portal and if I left you there with so many witnesses, I don't think you'd find yourself in a good situation, so I took you with me."

  "Fourth, the reason you're still alive was because of the Evil Piece, and before you ask about it. I won't tell you since I'm not even sure if you're a friend or foe. As for why I'm wearing an armor, it's because I'm in the middle of a war and this armor is ented to protect me from several holy light attacks."

  "Any more questions?" Crossing her arms, Serafall puffed her chest in pride.

  Upon the end of her answer, Chamber's mind was already w nonstop, thinking of various questions and solutions. Finally, after a whole minute of analyzing his situation, he finally came to a clusion that was not yet firmed but would soon be as he asked Serafall for the st time.

  "What year is it right now?"

  "Year? In human years, it's currently the year 1410. But in Devil years, it's year 1008 DC or Devil Creation."
