Abaddon, the ruler of the abyss.

Abaddon: Hmm.

Phoenix: Thebesus.

Abaddon: Spare me these names, please.

Abaddon: From now on, call me Abaddon, it's better that way.

Asha: Abaddon?!

Asha was petrified by the name.

Phoenix: What's going on, Asha?

Phoenix: Have you ever heard that name?

Asha: Abaddon, the destroyer. My mother always warned me to never cross paths with this demon, otherwise I would die.

Phoenix: Back off.

Asha: Oh!

Phoenix: We are here at your side today, we will protect you.

Then Abaddon spoke.

Abaddon: Hey, a human.

Abaddon: It's interesting to see elemental guardians accompanied by a human woman.

Levi: What are you doing here, Thebesus?

Abaddon: I already told you to call me by my new name, you filthy reptile.

Levi: Your stupid name won't change anything, so what are you looking for here?

Abaddon: Humans are so special, they found me a new name that inspires terror and despair.

Asha: ...

Abaddon: I should thank them for these gifts that date back thousands of years.

Asha: What do you mean by that?

Abaddon: I will take control of the nearest city and become its ruler.

Abaddon: Of course, those who resist will be punished mercilessly.

With these last words, he disappeared.

Quetzacóatl: It is imperative to catch up quickly.

Quetzacóatl transformed and they set off after Abaddon on his back. Asha, curious, then asked a question.

Asha: Lady Phoenix...

Phoenix: Hmm.

Asha: Can you tell me who Thebesus is?

Phoenix: Thebesus, also known as Abaddon, is undoubtedly the demon lord whose actions are most visible.

Asha: What do you mean?

Levi: Thebesus leads a campaign of terror by leading the horde.

Asha: What is a horde?

Phoenix: This is a huge army of demons sowing destruction and death in its path.

Asha: Is it dangerous?

Levi: We are facing a demon lord, he is obviously dangerous.

Phoenix: His physical power is immeasurable and he is capable of changing his size and weight at will.

Asha: I understand better.

Phoenix: We need to get to Quetzacóatl quickly.

Quetzacóatl: Hold on tight.

He flew at lightning speed, and Asha instantly recognized the path they had taken during the journey.

Asha: Oh!

He had returned to his village.

Asha: It seems impossible.

Senpū Village was engulfed in flames and chaos, plunging Asha into disarray.

Asha: No, not that, please.

When they landed, Asha rushed towards the burning village.

Asha: Is there anyone waiting for me?

No response came to him.

Asha: It's not possible, not yet.

She was devastated, her grief was such that she fell in the rain.

Phoenix: Oh!

Phoenix was surprised by this event.

Phoenix: (It's raining.)

Then Abaddon came out of his hiding place and said in a disconcerted manner.

Abaddon: Well, well... Look who we have here.

Asha: Oh!

Abaddon: A magician, it's surprising, I thought she had disappeared.

Phoenix quickly ran to Asha and said:

Phoenix: You won't touch a single one of those hairs.

Abaddon: Oh well, you have no sense of humor.

Abaddon: Just like these villagers.

The rain had extinguished the flames that had ravaged the villages, but Asha was so angry that she unleashed lightning.

Asha: How can you?

Abaddon: Oh!

Asha: How can you remain so indifferent after causing such chaos.

Lightning roared loudly, Asha's anger causing the thunders to tremble.

Abaddon: You seem very angry, but also very sad and confused.

Abaddon: I will end your suffering.

Panicking, she unleashed a series of lightning bolts.

Asha: Don't come any closer!!

The lightning instinctively protected Asha and attacked Abaddon, but barely scratched him.

Abaddon: How powerful.

This source of energy exhausted Asha who collapsed.

Phoenix: Asha?!

Abaddon: Your friend seems exhausted, I'm going to finish her off.

Quetzalcoatl immediately intervened to protect him.

Quetzalcoatl: You will not leave.
