-in other pov-

Only the humans scream was heard the air was filled with the scent of blood as everyone was trying desperately to take down the devil demon in their eyes but they couldn't since john moves were so fast for them

John moved through the chaos of the battlefield with ruthless efficiency, his eyes filled with a cold, calculating gaze as he methodically eliminated human after human.

No mercy was granted to the humans that crossed his path, as bodies began to litter the ground in his wake John's face was streaked with blood, a faint smile playing on his lips as he reveled in his killing spree.

Suddenly, a peculiar feeling washed over him, and he spun around, prepared to confront the newcomer. To his shock, it was Aria, rushing towards him.

"What are you doing here?!" John exclaimed, his voice filled with surprise and anger. He seized her shoulder firmly and demanded, "Where's Hael? he should prevent you from continuing here!! Why are you alon-" "he is dead…he get killed because of me" aria cut john world coldly as she looks into his eyes "I can't let you all kill the human king alone! I want to kill him myself!"

John's frustration was palpable as he scolded Aria, his voice tinged with anger and disbelief. "You're such a fool! How could you expect to survive here without your powers?! This stupidity will be the end of us!"

He reached into his pocket, withdrawing a knife, and firmly placed it in her hand.

"Use this. You're a damn liability right now, so stay close to me. And if you move away i'm not responsible for you anymore!"

Aria smiled wildly she finally can go to human kingdom but she also knows that john would never let her get hurt!

As the time passed John and Aria moved through the area together, the silence around them making them both uneasy. Something felt off, and John's watchful eyes scanned their surroundings carefully, alert for any signs of danger.

Little did they know, they were unknowingly treading into a trap, their guard inadvertently lowering due to the deceptive quietness.

Arrows showered down upon them without warning, a lethal rain of projectiles flying in their direction. John swiftly tried to deflect as many as he could, his reflexes quick, but his efforts weren't entirely successful.

Aria's sharp senses perceived the trajectory of an arrow aimed at John, and she acted swiftly. Without hesitation, she launched herself in front of him, pushing him aside just in time to suffer the arrow's full impact on her own life core.

John's voice echoed through the air, filled with anguish as he cried out Aria's name. He hurled his sword in a fit of anger, the deadly blade hitting its mark and claiming the life of the human who had injured her.

John's heart pounded frantically in his chestas he go to aria, his hands trembling as he held onto Aria's, his voice filled with desperation."Aria! Please, stay with me!" He knew that he was to late as he heard

Aria's voice was weak and soft, her breaths coming in gasps as the pain took its toll. She managed to utter her final words, her eyelids slowly closing. "I'm glad…this time no one died because of me…" she smiled in pain as she looked at john eyes

"John...please...take revenge for both of us..." she says as she coughs before she says he last word "don't be sad joh…n" and with that aria's body was lifeless between john's hands

John was in complete shock state…his eyes were on her as he shakes her softly… he was calling for her as his mind won't accept the idea of her death…

His eyes colors were slightly changing into red hue…bloody eyes as he pull her body into tight hug…as he just gazed to ground… still hoping for her to move to speak…

John's voice trembled as he spoke, his words filled with a mix of pain and anger.

"I won't forgive you, Aria...not you, nor Eric... You both broke our promise... We were supposed to stay together..."

His eyes welled up with tears, the reality of the situation crashing down upon him, leaving his heart shattered and his mind in turmoil.

John stood from where he had been cradling her lifeless body, determination etched on his face. He picked her up gently, intending to give her a proper burial.

As he buried her, a bitter coldness settled over his heart, his emotions locked away under a stoic facade. His mind was consumed by a singular goal, fueled by a burning anger that demanded retribution for her death.

He took her life core between his hand and put it in his bag it was the last memory of her before he start to run fast to human kingdom killing anyone in his way without even thinking

John arrived at the human kingdom, finding both Han and Charles waiting for him. The usual banter and conversation between them was conspicuously absent, replaced by a tense silence that hung in the air.

Han and Charles exchanged quick glances, their curiosity piqued by John's unusual quietness. However, neither of them mustered the courage to break the awkward silence, the unspoken question lingering between them.

The trio moved silently through the castle halls, their footsteps echoing in the eerily quiet corridors. It seemed almost too still and eerily quiet, with not a human in sight.

Finally, they arrived at the large door leading to the throne room. The significance of this final destination was undeniable, and anticipation hung thick in the air.

Charles pushed open the heavy doors, and the group entered the throne room. Sitting upon his throne was William, his wide smile exuding an air of smug satisfaction.

"Ah, finally, the guests I have been expecting have arrived. Welcome, dear demons, to my kingdom."

His voice held a cheeky tone, as if he were hosting a twisted and twisted tea party. Charles held his sword steadily as he addressed William, frustration and anger in his voice.

"Why did you harm Eric? He was here on a friendly visit to your kingdom," he demanded, his grip on his sword tight.William chuckled at Charles' question, his expression full of sadistic glee.

"Ah, Eric, the most beautiful demon I have ever laid eyes on. Of course I had to collect him, for I am fond of beautiful things," he replied with a wicked smile.

John's rage flared, unable to contain his anger any longer. "Shut up!" he roared, he was about to attack but all of sudden his body couldn't move at all he looked at Charles who was also standing there shocked about the situation his body isn't moving either as something held them

Willow's voice echoed through the room, his words filled with sinister cheer.

"Ah, my friend, how delightful to see you again. Your performance was truly splendid, and I am eternally grateful for everything you've done. I couldn't have accomplished it without you, my dear."

Charles and John exchanged bewildered glances, confusion written across their faces. However,

their attention was quickly drawn to the sight of HAN walking towards William with a wide smile on his face.

"Ah I truly enjoyed everything too~ and i got what you asked for~" han says with playful sarcasm tone as he pull out eric's life core
