"Remember the plan?" Scorpio asked his companions one last time before they attack the castle. All demon generals nodded their heads with determine face.

"Good, now let's go!" The Demon Generals all nodded their heads as they follow Scorpio sneaking inside the castle.

They managed to pass 5 demon soldiers without being caught and was about to sneak on another 3 more. Scorpio use his telekinesis magic. He lift a small stone and fling it in the other side, catching the 3 demon soldier's attention. Scorpio and the demon generals didn't waste time when the soldiers went to check the noise.

After sneaking on the 3 demon soldiers, Scorpio and the demon generals arrived at the castle dungeon. They saw knights or a demon was locked up in each cell. But what caught their attention was the cell at the very end.

Scorpio went towards the cell and saw the mysterious old man that helped the knights, Krono. He was aware that the old man, along with the weapons, was not with them when they escape.

"What are you doing here?" The old man asked. "We're getting you out of here." Scorpio answered in his cold voice. "For what?" The old man scoffed, making Scorpio angry. "Stop asking questions. We might need you in this." Scorpio snapped but manage to compose himself.

Scorpio gathered his magic and blast the lock, destroying it and freeing Krono. "Now let's go!" Scorpio sternly said as he started walking followed by his demon generals and a reluctant Krono.

While at the same time, the knights were huddling at a distant bush near the castle.

"Wait! Are we going to attack directly or is it going to be a sneak attack?" Leo asked, looking at Capricorn. "Don't be stupid!" Taurus whacked Leo at the back of his head. "If we attack directly, we would've been dead without reaching Ophiuchus  first from all that demon inside."

"Actually, even if we use sneak attack, it would just be the same when they decided to call for the demon soldiers." Cancer slowly pointed out. "Yes! but if we use sneak attack and slowly kill those demon soldiers around, it would be harder for them to call some of the demon soldier." Virgo said.

"So we would use sneak attack then?" Capricorn asked for confirmation. All the other knight nodded their head and started walking towards the castle but also trying a lot not to be seen by one or two demon soldier.

As they went inside the castle, they saw some demon soldier unconscious which confuse them. 'What happened? Is there someone other than us, sneaking in?'

But they shrugged it off for now and decided to kill it along with the few remaining demon soldier. The knights were having a hard time finding the throne in which Ophiuchus  might resides.

"I think it's left."

"No, it's right."

"Left."

"Right."

"Lef-"

"Enough!" Capricorn shouted but not loud enough to attract attention. But it somehow stopped Leo and Pisces from bickering in which way. The duo look at each other and childishly stick each other's tongue.

"So, Cap! Which way?" Virgo asked, looking at Capricorn. Virgo can see the clog turning in Capricorn's head in order to find the right way.

"Your majesty! Where are we going? The throne is this way." Sagittarius said while pointing a direction towards the throne room. "I know! but we are not going there yet." Scorpio answered.

The 5 demon generals looked at each other then back to their king. "What do you mean, Your majesty?" Gemini asked. "We are going to the treasure room and find the 6 legendary weapons. They must have put it in there." Scorpio answered while the demon generals nodded their heads.

As they turn a corner, it was a dead end which confuse the 5 demon generals. But when Scorpio push the light torch, a secret passage open which made the 5 gasped in shock.

"Did you know about this?" Aries whispered to other girls. "No, I didn't know such thing exist." Libra answered as they followed Scorpio. "Do you think there are more of like this here?" Aries whispered again. "I would say yes considering what we just saw." Aquarius commented. Aries was about to spoke again but stop when they arrive in their destination.

Scorpio opened the door and got inside followed by the demon generals and Krono. As they looked around, all they saw are golds, jewelries, goblet and many more.

"I want you to split up and find the 6 legendary weapons." Scorpio ordered as the demon generals nodded their heads and started searching for the 6 legendary weapons.

Gemini looked at the northern part of the treasure room and saw a sword - but not what they are looking for - ,a beautifully made golden crown, a jewelries and many gold coins.

As Gemini looked at the northern part, Sagittarius also looked at this southern part of the treasure room. He saw some goblets, some golds, a statue made of gold and many gold coins.

Aries also search at the western part of the treasure room. She also saw what both Gemini and Sagittarius saw. Some goblets, golds, jewelries and many gold coins.

Libra searched at the Eastern part of the treasure room. Libra saw some jewelries and decided to try it on while posing in front of the mirror she saw.

Aquarius searched the center part of the room. She keep on looking and keep on seeing some jewelries, gold and gold coins. As she keep on searching, something shiny caught her eye. She look for the shiny object and saw the 6 legendary weapons at the very center of the room.

"I found it!" Aquarius exclaimed which caught the attention of others. "You found it? Where?" Scorpio asked as he made his way towards Aquarius.

Scorpio looked at where Aquarius is pointing and grin as he saw the 6 weapon. He took big strides towards the weapon and took one of the sword and unsheathe it.

"Now the real fun can begin..."
