23. Darkness.

(Y/N) felt a puncturing pain piercing through the palm of his hand, the one in which Makima had intertwined their fingers together.

"I can't access Hell like that." Makima said, hurrying to explain as (Y/N)'s confused gaze stared at her. "Princi's powers don't work like that."

(Y/N) felt the blood trickle down his hand, the dense liquid already going through his wrist. "I want a further explanation, Makima." He said, noticing the small hole Makima had done through his hand, and the coursing blood flowing down his skin. "Like, right fucking now."

"Princi's powers let her summon me and my peers to her location immediately, but it can't cross realms." She said, giving a light squeeze on his hand. "I won't harm you any further, but in order to enter Hell, I need a sample of your blood."

"And why is my blood so special?"

"Because it is deeply connected with the blood of the Hellfire Devil." She said, but this seemed to only exacerbate (Y/N)'s confusion. "In order to cross the door that connects both realms, I need the sample of blood of a devil that can cross between Hell and Earth at will."

"So you're telling me the Hellfire Devil can travel between planes whenever she wants to?"

"Yes, didn't it tell you about it?" Makima asked before continuing. "But if the devil can take you along with her, that I don't know."

"And how do you know so much about her anyway?"

Makima simply smiled at him, and went silent for a couple of seconds. "All you need to know by now, is that only your blood can allow us to cross the gates of Hell."

"Fine, fine, but you'll have to work harder than that to explain these things to me the moment we're not in a hurry." (Y/N) said. "Can you tell Princi to stop waiting like an idiot and take us there already?"

Kishibe was able to dodge Quanxi's fist, but he hadn't been able to duck in order to evade the following kick she threw, climbing on the table between them. Although the kick left him quite stunned for a second, Kishibe reached for a knife on the pocket of his trench coat, and threw it right towards Quanxi's face while at the same time he directed a kick against her body.

Quanxi was able to grab the knife mid air by the edge of the blade, and waited for Kishibe's kick to counterattack by grabbing his leg, and upon cancelling his momentum, she was able to throw him out of the building by making him fly against the window at the side of the table.

Kishibe broke the glass with his back, shattering the window completely and promptly felt the cutting noise of the wind passing through his ears. Swiftly, he grabbed a pair of knives out of his trench coat once again, and sunk them in the concrete of the building trying to muffle his fall.

Still, it wasn't enough and he fell directly into the roof of a car sitting outside of the building, one that seemed awfully familiar.

"Could you let the girl go for me, sweetheart?" Quanxi asked Power, who was still holding the fiend by her neck, threatening with a knife which grazed the jugular of the girl. Quanxi took a moment to look at Power's whole body, something that bothered the latter. "You're really cute, and I don't want to fight you."

Power shivered slightly as she stared at Quanxi. She noticed the shark fin navigating through the floor, and realized Beam was in his way to help Denji. "Sorry, I'm already taken!" She sneered as she looked back at the group of Aki, Angel Devil and the other two devil hunters, who were still lying on the ground unconscious.

"That's a shame." Quanxi said, taking a battle stance as she stared at the whole group. "Then you'll be next." She stated preparing to fight Power, right before Beam emerged out of the floor and bumped his head against the fiend that was pinning Denji down.
