"Strange to see you on your knees, Demon," greets Gaia coldly.
They have met because Gaia is standing outside the castle walls, trying to find a way in. Breaking through the castle's strong defenses.
That's when he popped out. At first Gaia had thought he wanted to ambush him.
No.
He got a lethal wound.
The Demon King is dying and they both know it. His wound is too deep beyond recovery. Life is seeping out of him.
"Luc...Luc..."
That's the only thing he could say with great efforts.
"I'll take you to him, Demon."
Gaia lifts him up. The giant golem takes the dying man to meet his son one last time.
Luc opens his eyes when he felts someone is approaching him.
His father is heavily wounded, bleeding to death in Gaia's enormous palm.
"No! How could you?"
Luc punches and kicks Gaia but his blows are too weak to be felt.
Gaia puts down the dying Demon King.
He only says, "It wasn't me."
The Golem morphs into his hamster state.
Luc kneels down next to his father. He used to loath him. Now to see him dying like this. He got mixed feelings.
He asks, "Father, who did this?"
"Shar...kie..."
"That good for nothing..."
"Please...the blade..."
His father is gasping, having difficulties to breath.
Luc holds the blade, trying to pull it out. The Demon King puts his hands on Luc's hands. And he pushes the blade deeper into his wound. Killing him.
"No! Why?"
His father's body explodes into ashes. His great power swirls into Luc at once.
"No! I don't want your f*cking power!"
He felt enormous power is swirling in his veins. Rejuvenating him. His dark armors begin to grow back in rapid speed. The process hurts too much that he fainted on spot.
The other Guardians show up when they felt it. The end of the mighty Demon King.
Undine stares down to the fainted demon.
She says, "We must kill him before he could use his great power."
Little Gaia stands before his demon friend.
She scolds, "He is a demon!"
"I'm his friend. If you want to kill him, kill me first. I won't let you touch him."
"Pathetic moron!"
Undine has left.
Ifrit says, "I know he's different than the others, Gaia. Both Zephyr and I won't hurt him."
"Thanks, guys."
Ifrit adds, "You should spent more time with Undine. Then she won't be too hostile to your "friends."
"Pardon?"
Ifrit shakes his head. The guy is too dense to realize anything at all.
He blurts out, "She loves you, okay? Tried to win her heart for eons. But she only loves you."
