When they got in the castle, they were greeted by something that they will never unsee. There was tank after tank of quỷ beetles all squirming trying to escape. When they saw this, they froze in terror wondering why there were so many of those beatles here. They started walking again but they were still in shock about the bugs. After walking for what seemed like forever, they finally came to a door that looked like the entrance to a king's room only there were skulls lining the door covered in blood. They were scared to enter but they knew they had to go in if they wanted to save Mich. Inside the room, they saw a man in a black robe wielding a staff with horns and an eye in the center that seemed to follow their every move. His face was in shadow. All they could see was two glowing eyes. The man seemed mad at them for disturbing him. Rose and Zach apologized for disturbing him. They said that one of their friends was taken by him and they would like him back. Even though they couldn't see the man's face, they could tell he was annoyed at them.
"You mean that rebel that calls himself Mich? I was planning on killing him!" said the man.
"Rebel?" asked Zach.
"Yes, he disobeyed my orders and disobeying me is not a good idea."
"What do you mean by disobeying?" asked Zach.
"I created him to do one thing and he didn't. All I made him do was to take control of someone or mimic and kill them," said the man.
Zach and Rose were silent. They were shocked to find out who caused the devil bug infestation. The man stared at Zach for a while until he finally said something.
"Oh, you are the one he mimicked. I knew you were alive but I didn't know you were here. That will make the job much easier." Zach got frightened when he heard that. He didn't have a good idea of what that meant. The man started floating and, when he did, they could see that he had no legs or physical form. As he floated up, they saw in the place his legs should be was a tail made out of what looked like a shadow but Rose and Zach knew it couldn't be. The man yelled one thing before trying to kill Zach. "YOU SHOULD NEVER DEAL WITH THE DEVIL!"
