The Return of the Demon Lords.

Enlil: You have finally arrived.

Asha: Oh!

Quetzacóatl: What!?

Levi: What are you talking about?

Enlil: Levi!

Not understanding, Asha, tired of remaining in ignorance, asked:

Asha: Excuse me, but what are you talking about?

Enlil: I understand that you are a little lost.

Asha: Oh!

Enlil: But when I saw you, I immediately knew it was you.

Lévi: You're starting to annoy me, are you finally going to explain to us?

Enlil: You still keep this unpleasant attitude.

Lévi: And you are also annoying.

Phoenix: Levi, could you calm down a little?

Lévi: You keep quiet.

Phoenix: Agreed.

Asha, in the middle of the argument, remained silent.

Asha: (She is mistreated by Levi)

Quetzacóatl: Could you stop beating around the bush and finally tell us what's going on?

Enlil: A long time ago, Chronos came to me.

Asha: Chronos, the guardian of time?

Enlil: Indeed.

Lévi: What is the link between Chronos and this story?

Enlil: He predicted to me that one day, a human woman would cross my lands to restore peace in the world.

Asha: Oh!

Enlil: You surely know that Chronos has the power to travel in time and that he is free to move around, having no source to protect.

Quetzacóatl: I don't see the connection with Asha.

Lévi: It seems that Chronos saw young Asha during his time travel.

Asha: Me!?

Enlil: That’s right.

Levi: But that doesn't justify why.

Enlil: I know you don't trust humanity, but if you took the trouble to get to know them, you would see that they...

Lévi: Spare me your speeches.

Enlil: Truly, your hatred towards humans has not changed.

Asha: I would like to ask a question, please.

Enlil: Oh!

Asha: Why did you choose me in particular?

Enlil: Nobody chose you.

Asha: Oh!

Phoenix: It was your ambition that brought you to us.

Asha: Ah, it's my fault.

Quetzacóatl: I told you to go home.

Asha: I would like to help you, but I have no idea where to start.

Asha: Besides, I have no experience.

Enlil: Come on, no need to be so modest.

Asha: Oh!

Enlil: As a priestess and devotee of Leviathan.

Quetzacóatl: A priestess!?

Levi: Uh!

Asha's secret had just been revealed, during their trip Asha had hidden her true identity as a priestess.

Asha: You...you knew about it.

Phoenix: Of course; My mission was to find you but when I arrived at your village, all that remained was ashes.

Enlil: Your village had been destroyed by demons.

Asha: Uh!

Quetzacóatl then remembered his last conversation with Asha and her question.

Asha: Are these creatures demons?

Quetzacóatl: So that explains his fear.

Asha: Unfortunately, I won't be of any help to you.

Enlil: Huh!

Asha: Don't be surprised, I'm weak and I know it.

Asha: Against the demon lords, I will be no match.

Phoenix wondered: What does she mean by facing the demon lords? She had obviously missed a vital piece of information: the demon lords, superior to all other demons, had returned.

Levi explained: The demon lords have returned.

Enlil, stunned, reacts by exclaiming: What!?

It seems that even Enlil doesn't know everything.

Phoenix suddenly realized: Oh!

Lévi: I even had the honor of facing Méphistophélès.

Enlil: But it's catastrophic, if they have returned, humanity doesn't have much time left.

Asha: But you defeated them during your confrontation.

Lévi: Don't be naive.

Asha: Oh!

Lévi: I'm sure he didn't feel anything during our confrontation.

Meanwhile, at the demon headquarters.

???: After so many years, they came out of hiding again.

Person 1: It's amazing how much these guardians surprise us every day.

Person 2: And this time, Quetzacóatl, the lightning guardian, joins them.

Person 3: That explains why we were asked.

Person 4: I think our father wants to put an end to these elemental guardians.

Méphistophélès: As always, you were right, Vladylasis.

Vladylasis exclaims: Oh!

Mephisto comes out of the shadows.

Vladylasis recognizes him: Mephisto.

An unknown voice intervenes: Big brother.

Mephistopheles remarks ironically: It's been a long time, Thebesus, Vladylasis and the Beast.

The Beast: Hm

Méphistophélès: Welcome among us, my dear brothers...

Mephistopheles: The lords of demons.
