"Well it appears that Seamus has an advantage against Seth." Fuurgrim said seated from the balcony as him and the others gaze through a magical window showcasing the progression of the reapers. "What's the big thing about the aura." Tobias asked. "The Madman gives off an aura of pure madness. When others are around him and exposed to it they find themselves being influenced by the madness. They in turn feel obligated to him for freeing them of their worst fears and paranoia." Samsara said. "Wait, so what does Seth normally do?" Tobias asked. "He does the complete opposite. He induces pain in others by making those same fears come to life. Not to mention Seth is the fighter, and The Madman is the thinker. The Pain manifestation allows him to feel no pain. Whereas the Madness manifestation allows him to think on a completely different intellectual level." Samsara said. "So what would happen if they were to manifest at the same time?" Dahlia asked. "That's never happened, they're split so they are two completely different entities.Which is why I chose him, to challenge them through his versatility." Fuurgrim said. "Well my money was originally on Seamus at first, but now I don't know." Nekronix said. "I don't see how you all can be so calm about this. They're out there losing their minds." Xander said. "When did you become so dramatic, Xander? I have the hardest time remembering you were just as bad as your sisters, until you learned to have a moral compass." Jun said. "I was young those days and didn't know any better. I have made an obligation to see to it that Cain remains safe. So I have every right to be concerned." Xander said. "Especially when we don't know how this hunt may go." Dahlia said.

Cain, Aurora, Rahim, and Karin approach the an area with three greater demons. There was one that was beast-like with long talons and fur. The second had more of a bird like form that had static emanating from its feathers. The third was very tall and lanky as it's mouth was sewn shut and it had no eyes. "Wonderful. There's 30 points standing right in front of us." Rahim said rubbing his hands together. "So how do you want to handle this?" Cain asked. "We actually won't need your illusion for those three, you will be a lot more needed for Seth. We don't need Aurora either." Rahim said as he removed his jacket revealing the numerous crests that lined his spine. "So just us two are good enough?" Karin asked. "Yeah. I just need you to cover me." Rahim said as he teleported in a flash of lightning in the middle of them. "When did he become that much of a show off, to go in alone?" Karin thought to herself. The demons noticed Rahim in between them. They all then growled and then became agitated. Rahim smiled as his eyes glowed a pure white and put his hands behind his back. "I've been waiting to try some of these new abilities." Rahim said. The winged demon flew into the sky. As the furry one began to circle him. The one with no eyes was the first to run in his direction. He then leaped toward him. Rahim glanced at it, and the demon became instantly frozen. He then stomps the ground as a rock formation rose from the ground and the frozen demon runs into it breaking into pieces. The furry one then begins to howl extremely loud, creating a loud screeching noise making Rahim cover his ears. "Ibinu Ọlọrun runmi!" Rahim said. A bolt of lightning then strikes down on the demon as it stopped howling to dodge the lightning. The demon then attempts to begin howling again, but Rahim summoned flames to his hands and blasted it at the demon. It caught on fire as the demon growled in pain. The demon then died. The flying demon attempted to summon lightning to strike Rahim. Rahim then took the lightning strike and caught it and made the energy from it disappear. He then held out his hand as he made sharp gusts of wind strike the flying demon slashing off its wings. The demon then started to fall. Rahim was about to blast it with fire when a flash of light went by taking the demon with it into the wall of a nearby building. The flash of light was Angelo who had stabbed the demon mid-fall the demon then faded away. Angelo then pushed away and landed on the ground beside Rahim. His eyes glowing a pure white. He closed his eyes and upon opening them again the glow faded away. "Sorry, Rahim, but we had to take one of those from you." Tralexei called out from one of the building tops with Trinity standing next to her. "Karin! What happened to watching my back?" Rahim asked. "What? I thought you were talking about the demons you asshole. Not other reapers." Karin replied in an irritated tone. The others then joined Rahim and Angelo. Rahim begins to put his jacket back on. "What was that just now?" Aurora asked. "It's my celestial form. It's pretty hardcore to control, but I can manage. You should have seen when I first started using it." Angelo said laughing. "I still have scars from it you know." Trinity said. "But with that we are now at 20 points." Tralexei said. "Yeah I guess we are too." Rahim said looking off.
