In the dimly lit chamber of his underground sanctuary, Nacht stood amidst the swirling shadows, his gaze fixed upon the four demons he had successfully enslaved.

With a sense of pride and determination, he began to bestow upon each demon a name that would forever bind them to his will.

"You," Nacht intoned, his voice resonating with power as he bestowed the name upon the first demon. "You shall be known as Gimodelo, the loyal guardian of the night."

Plumede, Walgner, and Slotos each received their own names in turn, marking them as his devoted servants in the dark arts.

With the naming ceremony complete, Nacht turned his attention to studying each demon's unique abilities, determined to master the Devil Union with each of them.

With Gimodelo, he focused on unlocking the power of Unite Mode: Canis. Through rigorous practice and relentless determination, he honed his ability to spawn numerous shadow clones, each as formidable as the original.

Next, Nacht turned his attention to Slotos, delving deep into the mysteries of Unite Mode: Equus.

With each passing day, he felt his physical abilities grow stronger, his body infused with an otherworldly toughness that bordered on invincibility.

Plumede's Unite Mode: Felis granted Nacht the gift of unparalleled agility, allowing him to move with grace and speed unmatched by any mortal being. With each swift movement, he felt the rush of power coursing through his veins.

Finally, with Walgner's Unite Mode: Gallus, Nacht discovered the power of the crow. He practiced unleashing deafening cries that could paralyze his opponents, rendering them helpless in the face of his dark magic.

But Nacht's ambitions did not end there. With his newfound knowledge and mastery over his demons, he began to explore the possibility of combining their powers through Devil Union.

Through relentless training and unwavering determination, Nacht learned to command a stronger version of both demons' powers when he fused with them in Devil Union.

With each fusion, he felt his own power grow exponentially, his control over the forces of darkness becoming absolute.

As he stood amidst the shadows, Nacht felt a sense of satisfaction washed over him. With his demons by his side and his mastery over their powers growing stronger by the day, he knew that he was destined for greatness.

And with each step he took towards his ultimate goal, he moved closer to fulfilling his destiny.

After his rigorous practice, Nacht felt the need to unwind, so he made his way to the familiar bar he frequented.

He entered the lively establishment and found a seat at the counter, seeking solace amidst the bustling atmosphere.

The lights of the bustling resto-bar cast a colorful glow over the crowd gathered within, illuminating the eclectic mix of patrons that filled the space.

Laughter and chatter filled the air, mingling with the clinking of glasses and the distant hum of music.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Nacht sat at the bar, his mind consumed by the knowledge and power he had acquired in recent months.

He nursed a drink in hand, his thoughts drifting into the depths of his dark ambitions.

But his solitude was soon interrupted by the arrival of a familiar figure. Nova approached him with a determined stride, her presence cutting through the dim of the crowd.

At first, Nacht ignored her, his gaze fixed on the swirling liquid in his glass. But Nova persisted, her voice breaking through his reverie as she asked if she could talk to him.

Nacht glanced up at her, his expression unreadable as he regarded her with cool detachment. There was something stirring within him, an unfamiliar feeling that tugged at the corners of his mind.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Nacht finally relented, his curiosity piqued by Nova's persistence.

With a curt nod, he agreed to her request, though his demeanor remained guarded.

As they left the noisy confines of the bar behind them, Nacht found himself walking alongside Nova, the click of their footsteps echoing softly against the pavement.

It was his first time visiting her apartment.

"Nacht, the truth is, Morgen and I are really worried about you," Nova began the conversation, her voice tinged with concern.

Nacht listened to her words, but instead of responding, he leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes wearily.

As Nacht leaned back on the couch, his beautiful silver long hair cascaded around him like a shimmering veil, adding to his enigmatic aura.

Despite his weariness, there was an undeniable allure to him that drew Nova's gaze.

"Tsk! I'm exhausted. I want to sleep. Don't disturb me," Nacht's voice echoed in the quiet room, his tone weary yet commanding.

Nova couldn't help but feel a sense of safety wash over her in his presence, despite the shroud of mystery that surrounded him.

There was something about him that made her feel protected, as if nothing could harm her as long as he was near.

As Nacht drifted off to sleep, Nova watched him for a moment longer, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

Despite the uncertainties of their encounter, she couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him.

With a contented sigh, Nova quietly made her way to her own bed, the warmth of sleep beckoning her.

As she drifted off into dreams, she couldn't shake the feeling of comfort that Nacht's presence had brought her, a glimmer of hope in the darkness of the night.

As Nacht stirred from his slumber on Nova's couch, he couldn't quite recall how many hours had passed since he had drifted off to sleep.

The room was bathed in the soft glow of morning light, casting long shadows across the floor.

He glanced around the apartment, noting that Nova was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she had retired to her own bed while he slept, he thought to himself.

Remembering her words from the night before, Nacht couldn't shake the curiosity that gnawed at him. Why did she worry about him? He was nothing more than a stranger, after all, and there was nothing particularly interesting about him.

As he made his way towards Nova's bedroom, a sense of apprehension tugged at him. He pushed open the door gently, revealing Nova sleeping peacefully in her bed.

Quietly, Nacht took a seat on the edge of the bed, his gaze lingering on Nova's peaceful expression. In the stillness of the room, he couldn't help but wonder what it was about her that drew him in.

"Why do you worry about me?" he found himself asking silently, his thoughts echoing in the silence of the room.

"I'm just a stranger to you."

As he sat there, lost in his thoughts, a strange feeling washed over Nacht. It was a mix of irritation and something else, something he couldn't quite place. Perhaps he reminds him of Morgen.

With a final glance at Nova's sleeping form, Nacht quietly rose from the bed and made his way towards the door. He knew he couldn't linger any longer, let he risk becoming entangled in something he wasn't ready for.

As he stepped out, Nacht couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the back of his mind. But for now, he pushed it aside, focusing instead on his own quest.
