Using the connection he felt from what he believed was the deal he had made he followed it and soon found the Imp who is currently on the outskirts of the city. Cosmo approached the Imp as he was dressing his wound before he sighed. But he turned immediately when he heard the noise of someone walking. He was surprised to see Cosmo before he relaxed.

"So, you took care of him?" The Imp asked him as he looked at him.

"Yeah, more or less. But I think you should move before he comes back." Cosmo said to him.

"Yeah that's a good idea. So, I guess I'm your servant now." The Imp said as he looked at him.

"Oh, yeah, the deal. What's your name?" Cosmo asked him curiously.

"Ritz. What is your name?" Ritz asked him.

"Cosmo. So, I guess I own your soul or something like that due to the deal right?" Cosmo asked him curiously.

"Yeah. You currently own me right now due to the deal. I have to do your every bidding." Ritz said to him with a shrug.

"You don't seem that bothered by the fact that you have been enslaved." Cosmo said with a raised eyebrow.

"We Imps are in the lowest ranks in Hell. We're basically the working class as you Sinners call us. So I don't mind it that much." Ritz said to him with a shrug.

"Right. Okay, can you tell me more about Hell and other related things. I don't know much." Cosmo said to him as he regarded the Imp.

"Sure. I can do that while we walk." Ritz said to him as the Sinner nodded to him.

And so the two of them walked out of Pentagram City and on the road as Ritz explained about Hell and it's inhabitants to him. Cosmo learned about the Royal family which consists of Lucifer, his wife Lilith and their daughter Charlie. There were also the Ars Goetia which has powerful hellborn demons and are like nobility.

Then came the Overlords, Sinners and the rest of the lower ranked hellborn demons. Cosmo gained interest when he heard that topic of the Overlords.

"Wait so, Overlords are Sinners who gained enough power and have control over several parts of the Pride Ring?" Cosmo asked him surprised.

"Yeah. They are kind of like nobles but their standing is right below the Ars Goetia. They are said to gain power from the deals they make and the number of souls they own." Ritz said to him with a nod.

"Okay." Cosmo said as he digested the information.

'So even a Sinner can gain enough power in Hell huh.' Cosmo thought to himself as he mulled over it.

"So, where are we going exactly?" Cosmo asked him curiously as they have been walking for some time now.

"To Imp City. It's a city where Imps live. My family lives there. I had come to Pentagram City to get more money but I didn't think I would get into that kind of situation." Ritz said as he sighed.

"Well, as long as the guy doesn't know that you live here. Though I think you should tell your family about it." Cosmo said to him as Ritz nodded to him.

'He is quite different from the other Sinners. Is this a mask?" Ritz thought to himself as he glanced at Cosmo.

"Oh yeah, I have your gun here." Cosmo said as he pulled out the gun.

"My gun. Where did you get that?" Ritz asked him surprised as he took the gun.

"It fell from you when you first bumped into me. I'm glad I kept it cause it helped take care of the guy chasing you." Cosmo said to him with a shrug.

"I see. Thanks." Ritz said as he digested the information.

"Say, can you get me a gun as well. I think I will need it just in case I have to fight." Cosmo said to the Imp.

"Sure. We're almost there." Ritz said with a nod.

Soon they reached Imp City as Cosmo took note of the city as the Imps there looked at him curiously as Ritz made his way to a two storeyed house in the city. But before he could call out the attention of the two were taken a teenage boy Imp running towards them.

"Hey um, is this you?" The boy asked as he showed his phone's screen to the two.

Cosmo and Ritz looked at each other in confusion before they looked at the screen. But their eyes widened when they saw what was on the screen as it is a video of Cosmo shooting the sign binders and smashing him through the building. Their eyes widened in disbelief but for two completely different reasons.

Ritz was shocked because he didn't think that Cosmo had taken care of the bull Sinner like that. He was also impressed by the shots done by Cosmo.

Meanwhile the Sinner there is panicking a bit as he couldn't believe that a video of him dealing with the bull Sinner was circulating through the net. Now he knew that the bull demon would surely know his face and come searching for him. Basically he traded places with Ritz.

Cosmo almost fainted when he saw the number of views as the video had already reached the 10,000 mark as he was shocked at how many had already seen it.

'This is going to be a problem.' Cosmo thought to himself as he let out a sigh.

"So, is that you?" The boy asked Cosmo eagerly.

"Yes, yes it's me." Cosmo said as he didn't try to deny anything.

"Wow, I didn't think I would meet you here. Well, that was a cool thing to do." The boy said before he took a picture of him and Cosmo together and then walked away.

"Teenagers. No respect for their elders." Ritz said with a deadpan at the nonchalant attitude of the boy.

"Well, let's forget about that and focus on the matter at hand." Cosmo said to Ritz as the Imp nodded to him.

Ritz then turned to the door and knocked on it before the two waited. Soon they heard the voice of footsteps before the door opened and revealed two Imps who seemed to be in their middle ages.

'Well, this will be fun.' Cosmo thought to himself as he looked at the couple.
