I can see nothing but darkness.

"This is your fate. Your heart will be plunged into darkness and you will kill all Angels and Humans" a mysterious voice says.

"Like hell I will! If that is truly my fate, then I will fight fate and change it!" Shiro shouts.

"Oh will you? The Seven Swordsman has always been someone who kills a lot. Not just Angels or Demons, but Humans as well. You are no hero. You are a killer!"

"I'm not a killer! I haven't killed anybody and I never will!"

"But what if those close to you were to die?" Shiro hesitates.

"I'll protect them all so no one will die!" Shiro replies.

"I see. Well, here you go." Images of the stabbed bodies of Liliana, Juno, and Emi appear in Shiro's mind.

"No...What are these pictures!? What did you do to them!?"

"You couldn't protect them, so now they're dead. How does that make you feel?" Shiro clenches his fists.

"Shut up! They're fine...They have to be..."

"But they're dead! Oh how I enjoyed the feel of my blade entering their hearts, their terrified screams as I raped them. It was wonderful!" Shiro doesn't respond.

Liliana...Emi...Juno...We're basically family. I didn't want anything to happen to them and now they're dead. And this bastard killed them. What is this feeling? My body is shaking and I feel the urge to end this pain.

Kill the one who caused this pain. Kill all who have hurt you. Kill all evil people. Kill all Angels and Humans. Kill all Angels. Kill...everything.

Outside of Shiro's mind, his dormant bodies is surrounded by a dark mist. Jupiter watches happily.

"Was this the plan all along?" Kuro asks.

"Yes. The King wanted me to use this left eye to awaken the Demon inside the Seven Swordsman. He will definitely go berserk now and kill everyone until he too falls in combat. It is a truly perfect plan" Jupiter replies. The mist grows heavier as Shiro awakens. He faces Jupiter and Kuro. Horns sprout from his head, black Demon wings sprout from his back, his nails are now sharp claws, and his eye patch falls from his head, revealing that both of his eyes are red. He glares at Jupiter with intense fury in his eyes.

"This is the monster you truly are! Now kill all Angels and Humans!" Jupiter orders. Shiro growls, then pounces at Jupiter. "What the hell!? I am not Angel nor Human. Why are you attacking me!?"

The Saigo no Nozomi falls from Shiro's hands. It is covered in darkness. Shiro swipes at Jupiter with his claws. Jupiter raises his sword to block Shiro's relentless attacks.

"Damn, I did not plan for this. Kuro, deal with him" Jupiter orders.

"Yes Captain." Kuro flies towards Shiro and stabs him in the back. Shiro stops attacking Jupiter, then turns around. He growls and glares at Kuro.

"Stupid toy! Now that you're broken, it's time for me to throw you away!" Kuro plunges her dagger into Shiro's chest.

"Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Boom!" Nothing happens though. "Hey, what gives!?" Shiro grabs Kuro's arm and plunges his five claws into it. "AHH!" Kuro retracts her arm along with Yami. Shiro's stab wound heal instantly. Shiro then grabs Kuro and tosses her into the ground. She slams into it hard, creating a small crater.

"Owie. Jupiter, why didn't he go boom?" Kuro asks.

"Your legendary artifact doesn't work on Demons," Jupiter replies. "Well this is bothersome."
