Ryūko and Iruma were sitting on the back of the white demon bird. It went through somethings and ended up having Ryūko heal its wound. It seems to have grown attached to her. "I wonder if its just going to take us straight to the goal." Said Iruma. To his demise, Ryūko noticed the surroundings and signs telling them to stay away. "If this valley isn't giving us a chill, relaxing route... Oh-no! We got pushed down to Cutthroat Valley by accident!" Said Ryūko in shock. Oh boy, this won't end well.

Meanwhile With Sabnock

Sabnock was still fighting against the guardian of Cutthroat Valley. He couldn't withsatnd the guardian's attacks any longer. "I was too careless. At this rate... I'm going to...die..." Thought Sabnock, "The Guardian of Cutthroat Valley... Just as its name suggests, it is a formidable foe!" Giving up just wasn't Sabnock's option! He bit on the bronze tag hanging with a silver and gold tag on his necklace and he creates a bronze axe to fight with.

Sabnock's bloodline ability: Weapon Creation. He can create weapon made of the same material he is currently biting.

He charged towards the beast. "I cannot lose here... I must become the Demon King!" He thought. Sabnock then remembers his childhood, where he read the Demon King Prophecy Scroll, where his elder brother left his family to become the next Demon King, and where his younger sister has fallen ill and asking Sabnock to become the next Demon King, no matter the cost, as her last wish. But in reality... "None of that actually happened! My older brother is a pacifist and my younger sister is just fine!" He released aloud, "The reason I want to become the Demon King... is just because that's the coolest thing you can be! Because I was born a demon, the coolest thing I can do is stand at the top!" He threw away is broken bronze axe and bit the silver tag on his necklace to create a steel broadsword. He relentlessly attacked the Guardian, but to no avail. The Guardian swinged its leg and catapults Sabnock's sword and slammed him to the ground, nearly at the edge over scalding hot lava. He struggled to get back up.

"I will not... I will not... I will not become a lame demon like him who never strives to be anything better!" Said Sabnock, "I have no regrets... My ambition has brought me this far! I have seen ny will through the end!" Before the beast could deliver a final blow, Ryūko and Iruma slide in between Sabnock and the beast with their arms outstretched. "Sabnock-san! Art thou alright?" Asked Ryūko now using Shakespeare English. He didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on her. "Ryūko! What art thou and Iruma doing here?!" Questioned Sabnock.

Ryūko never thought it would be the end of her time of protecting her brother, but before the Guardian launched an attack on her group, it stopped when the white demon bird was in front of it. It was talking to the Guardian. "What art thou doing here?" Asked Sabnock again. "What art I doing here? I, alongside Iruma, hast seen thou in danger so support thee we must." Answered Ryūko. "Could that be... the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley's child?" Asked Sabnock refering to the white demon bird. "Guardian? This massive beast is the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley? That's the Guardian's child?" Wondered Ryūko. Sabnock eyed on his broadsword, a few meters away from him. "This is my chance to attack!" Thought Sabnock. "Guardian! Your child's foot is okay now! You must've been upset that your child was injured right!" Said Ryūko to the Guardian, "Oh, we won't do anything! Right, Sabnock-san?" "Huh?!" Sabnock just picked up his sword and was prepared to make another strike, but Ryūko interfered, "What art thou saying? This is our chance to-" "Is it not?" Asked Ryūko with expectant and clear eyes. For some reason, Sabnock had a weird feeling in his gut, just by looking in her different coloured eyes.
