(AN; see picture guide book for demon lord descriptions)

Nono was not the weakest but he was considered old so he was asked by the others to assist the heirs in wiping out the apostles with his guardians. The battlefield was boiling hot like a volcano ready to erupt.

Kawahira appeared relax as he appeared in front of Gabriel. Half of his face was covered with a checkered mask and he was dressed in a top hat and suit, and carrying a cane. This was his other persona checker face. In the middle ages he did not use his real name but he would show up from time to time along the river of time wearing this disguise giving him an air of mystery.

" Good evening senor.", Checker face sounded like and old gentleman with a British accent. The angel looked at his opponent. His black eyes were like spinning vortexes that wanted to swallow the soul of the living. He unfolded his wings and took to the sky and Checker face followed right behind walking in the sky with the power of illusions.

Gabriel clasped his hands together as if praying and said reverently as if he was a divine envoy, " God love all beings. It is my honor to spread love. Child you lack the most cherished love which is eternal slumber(meaning death)."

" Good sir, may I ask what God a demon like you refer to? And I can't recall adding to die as a wish on my bucket list. Thank you for your unkind intentions, but my wife will get jealous if she hears us discussing love.", Checker face replied seriously with a joking undertone.

" My God is above all, he is the King of the underworld. Your fate is to fall in love with death. It is the most beautiful dream. I am the angel of love and for love I will never lie.", Gabriel responded. His words sounded like holy decrees. Behind him countless angels holding musical instruments appeared as they bowed down to him.

They were beautiful, ethereal and most importantly they were tangible meaning they could do harm. This was one of his powers dream manifestation, the ability to manifest dreams into reality. Checker face did not speak but responded with a mischievous smile instead. He made a step towards Gabriel and the singing angels discarded their harmless appearance and decided to attack him all at once.

A skeletal warrior blocked each angel as Checker face disappeared in mist flames. The next moment he appeared behind Gabriel holding a pair of black wings that was dripping with dark corrosive blood due to being separated from their owner. A startled look appeared on Gabriel's face and vanished in a split second, moving away from checker face he asked, " How?"

Displaying two strange rings that appeared on his fingers from who knew when he gave a chuckle, " I will introduce you to Ossa Impressione and Segno, two of my six hell rings. Cursed objects, one to summon undead souls and one that conceals killing intent. I fancy them since they are useful, but I have to pay a price to use them. Just a little secret you were not aware of, I am older than your so called God."

" This battle just started.", Gabriel put away his reverent demeanor as he painfully regrew another pair of white angel wings. " Fortunately it will end soon. I only have four more rings, so this duel will end in four moves.", Checker face put up four fingers as he let go of the wings that became ashes.

Not wasting anytime hearing this remark Gabriel pulled out the big guns by transforming into his battle form. The four winged fallen archangel with a winged mask that covered his eyes and upper half of his face appeared in the sky above the battle realm. Before he had a holy air now nothing could conceal his sinister demonic air. His voice was no longer divine but malicious and seductive like an incubus.

He made a move to remove his mask when he faced off against Checker face. His eyes were sealed shut and a third eye appeared in the middle of his forehead which was glowing with a golden light. Looking directly into it will cause the opponent to fall into eternal slumber. Checker face was prepared. A third ring appeared on his finger with an eyeball.

Behind him a huge crack appeared in the void and when it teared open it revealed a monster eye. The eye was a monster itself made up a grotesque eyeballs smashed together. The scene was creepy. It was more creepier when those eyeballs all stared at their prey which was the golden third eye of Gabriel.

These eyes had the power to reflect any attack back at the opponent no matter how powerful it was as long it was a spiritual attack. It so happens that the third eye of the archangel was a spiritual object. Instead of being put into eternal slumber by his own power he gouged out his third eyed and crushed it ruthlessly. This halved his power and blinded him permanently making him beyond furious.

" ANT HOW DARE YOU?!", Gabriel bellowed. He swept his hands towards his legions below and they all became blood mist that he swallowed. His battle form gained another pair of wings making up for his lost power. It came as no surprise since sacrificing each other to gain power was common practice for demons.
