After making sure that the entirety of the school and my friends were safe behind a barrier, it was time to fight. I knew it would end in death but it seemed as if death was a reward for someone like me. "Impressive," Mr Kim spat as if he wasn't utterly shocked that even after destroying the remains of my first love, I wasn't vulnerable enough to be hypnotised.

"I challenge you to a duel," I spoke to him, walking towards him confidently with my hands crossed. "I assume you join my side if I win?" He tilted his head, tempted yes but suspicious. "Keyword there is if though isn't it?" I replied, "and if you win? What do you want from me?" He questioned making me chuckle.

"What?"

"You see, you won't be able to give me anything. When I win, you'll be dead," I smiled.

"So it's a duel to the death? And why the hell would I kill the person crucial to my plan? You do realise your death is a loss to me, a plan in the works since you were a fucking child would be ruined," he continued. "Well it seems as that you're wrong. You know for a while I was confused on why you were so obsessed with me to get Satan out when you could so easily attempt it with my mother. But then I realised, you're scared of Ivey," I smirked at him for it.

"She did save the world from Satan's beautiful wrath, she overpowered her own father what could I do to her? So I went for the only other descendant of Satan, you," he told me.

"That's where you're wrong." I calmly spoke, taking small strides around Mr Kim as I intimidated him with knowledge he did not obtain. "Satan's parents are dead and he had no siblings, he was an only child, his wife is dead and even if alive she didn't share his blood so she would stand useless. And we all know Ivey slaughtered all her siblings, so that leaves just you."

He spoke confidently, "but did she really kill, all her siblings? A certain boy with silver hair sits in the Ivaeyor and you sit here clueless, great fun," I snickered making him grab my wrist.

"Are you meaning to tell me that Lucifer is still alive?" He spat in curiosity, "maybe I am," I shrugged, making him squint to analyse my face before letting go of my wrist. "I accept your challenge," he stepped back, charging his red light. He was already mad, why? When he made me do what I did, he had the intention of setting my heart on fire, of course he's pissed, I turned it into ice. He attacked me with balls of energy, each of which I skill-fully dodged.

And that is where he went wrong.

Changing his plans wasn't part of our reality.

"C'mon old man, is that all you've got?"

I aggravated him as I lifted myself into the air, calling out to nearby buildings to have them in my power. I dismantled parts of the building, throwing them at him one by one to slowly piss him off. He wasn't going to die so I might as well have my fun. He got annoyed and suddenly yanked me down to the ground with the flick of his wrist, there was no flying spell, I could either do it because I inherited it from my father or because I could just think what I wished to do.

I ended up falling near that sword with the red gem I used to fight the army, I grabbed it quickly to slice his stomach as he walked towards me unfazed. He grabbed me by the throat and lifted me from the ground, "you really love fighting with everything except magic don't you. What a pity, you were meant for so much more," he chuckled, looking down at my sword. I kneed him in the stomach right on the wound that had almost healed completely, his grip around my neck loosened which was enough to me to gather enough strength to push that sword through his chest.

It wasn't much for a basically immortal being like him but it would slow him down enough. I let myself down onto the floor as he was in pain, walking back a little so I could have time to give myself more power. I lit my magic, putting him through immense pain, pushing him down onto his knees. "You know I've noticed people love choking me, but I've noticed something about myself too," I spoke loudly.

"I love seeing people kneel."

I applied more pressure into my magic, almost killing him which wouldn't matter if he simply just came back to life. He mustered all his strength against my magic to rip the sword out his chest, he used a tiny bit of his red light to knock my balance, therefore removing my concentration off of my power as I face planted. He walked towards me with such speed that by the time I had turned around and off of my face he was already there about to shove that same sword into me.

I quickly charged my magic, pushing it away with my eyes naturally shutting with the power I was applying to keep the sword away from me. Suddenly a blast of energy knocked him away from me, and when I opened my eyes I noticed the shield I had made to protect my friends was broken by my own hands. When I applied all that strength onto the sword with my stupid eyes shut, I hadn't noticed my power was being reflected onto the shield, shattering it completely.

While I was unfocused, Mr Kim threw me aside, "this child's play is over, I'd like to get to Lucifer as fast as I can," he told me, leaning down to my level as he whispered; "lethilous,"

I screamed, yelling in agony as an excruciating pain passed over me. I could barely move my own pinky let alone get up and fight, I let myself fall onto the floor as I noticed deep cuts appear all over my arms. Noticing the blood dripping down my face it seemed as if my entire body was filled with these things. I lay flat on the ground helplessly watching him walk towards my loved ones.

This was the feeling of defeat.

3rd person pov

Beelzebub walked towards the rest of the school who watched in horror as Jewel's groans stopped, had she died? Maybe. Taehyung asked what was wrong and tried to make a run for her but he was held back by professor Zeke. "It's the most forbidden torture spell of all, it gives you a slow death, those cuts are full of curses," the professor looked down.

"Isn't it lovely? Like really, isn't it just amazing how I always win? Life is like a game of chess, you guys are just the pieces, I am the board. It is quite sad though, great prophecy for half bloods, and although this generation was blessed with 2 of them, they both die such, unsatisfactory deaths." He continued.

Jewel's blood slowly left her body, purple liquid travelling across the ground, meeting the sword with the red gem, the sword that she had felt so attracted to. As soon as her blood encountered the sword, the scarlet jewel glowed.

"Touch the ground Azriel,"

A familiar motherly voice rang in her head, her back of her hand lay flat as her fingers naturally curled. She could not find the strength to move, she was in so much pain but was so exhausted she couldn't even scream.

"Seek power from the ground," Ivey heeded her child who had already admitted defeat, her helplessness caused whimpers to escape her mouth, "I can't," she managed to utter. "You can," Ivey pushed her strength to her kid through the jewel in the sword that used to be wielded by her. This little push helped her move her hand to the ground, laying her palm on it. "Make a circle with your index finger," Ivey continued to tell Jewel what to do, and she listened, her trembling bleeding finger barely being able to trace a circle with her light.

"I suppose by now you all have realised you're on the losing side, so who is going to use their brain to join me? I've lost my entire army today and a school full of kids with potential sounds good enough for me..." Beelzebub paused in his words noticing hope sparking in the eyes of those in front of him. He slowly turned around to see Jewel standing up straight, ever so calm for a person who should be dead.

"Lethilous!" He yelled the same spell thinking one more should do it, and it would've if Jewel was normal but everyone's established she isn't.

-silence-

Jewel looked down at the red light that hit her with a such a brutal spell with a blank expression. As if it wasn't even hurting her.

"Checkmate."

She spoke passionlessly.

"You see, because of what you ordered your kids to do last year, I was rendered emotionless. For a whole year I couldn't feel, and then when I learnt how to feel, I faked emotions. And it's given me an ability, a switch really," she slowly spoke to him who was still dumbfounded at how she was ok. "Enlighten me," he sarcastically said to shadow his fear. "I can turn off my emotions, and right now..."

"I've turned off the pain."

"Wow you're a freak? Am I meant to be impressed? You're the daughter of Ivey and Alzar, you're meant to be so much more, you were born for much more-"

"Correction, I was born because my parents had sex, you having expectations of me does not give me the duty to live up to them." She cut him off, very obviously stalling but it was such a good quality of hers that Beelzebub hadn't even noticed. "I demolished my first loves soul and I feel like I have died along with him, do you know how that feels? To mentally die over and over again but still be alive?" She tilted her head making him laugh, "I don't," he taunted.

"You will,"

She took a couple steps back, taking a deep breath before kneeling down, "mother, give me strength," she muttered as she dug her lavender light into the cracks of the ground. She yelled as the circle she drew earlier gleed a bigger one around Beelzebub, she mustered all the strength she had to lift the ground beneath him.

Jewel then scrunched her hands in a way that would make the ground curl up around Beelzebub's lower body, his hands that were by his side included. She tormented him immensely while filling his head with the memories of those he had wronged, killing him on the inside again, and again. She dropped him from mid air back into the ground making pieces of concrete fly around with the crash.

She slowly walked towards him, kneeling down to see him groan while bleeding, the more he dies the slower the healing process goes. "Jewel you can't kill me, I'm immortal!" He spat, blood coming out his mouth. She grabbed his collar, punching him over and over again, knocking him out almost completely.

"It's your soul that heals you, now what if I eradicated that very thing?" She snickered, releasing the plan in her mind that made him lose his in realisation. His hands were covered in cement, unable to cast any spells which she of course took the advantage of. "Jewel you don't have to do this-"

She cut him off by pushing her hand into his chest with the intention of separating soul from the body. His soul released as he watched his empty body in horror from above. "Jewel please-"

"STOP CALLING ME JEWEL. I get that it's what you're used to calling me, after all you've called me it my whole life while you were pretending to be a friend. And honestly I thought I preferred the name Jewel too but since it's what you call me, I've started to despise it." She exclaimed in annoyance.

"You will remember my name, as it will be the last thing your soul hears before getting thrown into oblivion. So listen closely."

"My name is Azriel."

"Ivey."

"Jackson."

Her light rushed into his soul, tearing it up at light speed, he yelled in agony which was like a lullaby to her ears. She was avenging everyone. Destroying a soul wasn't a piece of cake, souls are works of God, and tearing them apart is bound to tear you along with it. After completely demolishing his soul out of existence she collapsed, dropping onto her knees as she let the pain back into her body, it was her time to leave the world.

They all ran towards her, Taehyung holding her in his arms as her life slowly left her. "I..." she tried to talk but Tae hushed her knowing how much energy it required. "I know," he assured her, making her give a faint smile before shutting her eyes to rest. "Jackson?" Taehyung noticed her breathing had stopped, she shook her slightly as tears pooled in his eyes, dropping onto her cold cheeks.

He covered her with his school blazer, trying to stop the bleeding but she was leaking blood from everywhere, he then gave her CPR, trying to wake her up when Zanira stopped him. "WHAT SHE SAVED US I CAN'T EVEN TRY TO SAVE HER?" He spat in anger towards the vampire.

"Kid, I can't hear her heartbeat,"
