The power awakens.

"You should never have come down here Declan Akaba. This is my turf and in the name of god I will kill you. That I swear!". At that Declan snort.

"Does it look like I care?" he snorts back "I am taking back my contractor and that is that. You cannot stop me!". Another swung with his sword made Declan move backwards. He rubbed his chin as purple blood were running down his left cheek.

"You were saying?" the priest replied.

A confident smile was shown on his lips as he swung the blade towards Declan again, and the only thing the demon lord could do for now was dodge. It annoyed him to know end that he was driving him further and further away from his beloved Gili.

"Declan be careful. There's a hexagram..." he could hear Gili say as he finally noticed the seal written on the floor.

With great speed, Declan managed to dodge the seal, and even managed to come behind the priest. It was not without cost since he had gotten a nasty gash on his right arm. Blood were polling out as well.

"You will not escape. Even if you manage to get outside with that girl of yours, my companions will deal with you" the priest sneered rather fierce "Then we will be rid of you for good. You will not pollute this human any longer".

Then he once again attacked, but Declan was ready for him. He grabbed around the blade surprisingly with his left hand. A sizzling sound could be heard as the holy blade began burning away his flesh in that hand, but Declan couldn't care less.

"I put up with you for long enough priest! But no more. I can live with being called filthy names and injured. I can even live with that you have tied up my contractor on that altar. Gili can live with it, being human and all, but don't you dare tell me I am polluting her! Never! You crossed the line pal!" Declan hissed in an angry matter as energy rose around him "But no more. You hurt my pride by even insinuate that. Prepare for a merciless death where I will show no mercy. Prepare to witness my true power your filth!".

He let out a scream of pure rage as he began transforming. Unlike his other three forms, his water, fire and wind form, this was in reality his true appearance as a demon which he had split into these other three forms to preserve power. For beneficial reasons. He was a demon lord after all, and he knew the order wasn't wrong in their assumptions of him having the power to destroy the world or bring humans to sin. This form was all that and maybe even more since it had the power of all his forms combined. Declan usually didn't want to use this form because he also lost most of his reasonings doing fights. For that reason, he was unsure of how much power he truly holds. However, in order to save Gili, to save his beloved Gili, he would do anything. Even use his full power in order to keep her safe. That was the only thought in his mind as he began transforming. His body scattered his human form, while changing into a warrior individual in clad black armor with red pieces that resembled his fire form a bit. Black hoody covered his face, who had turned almost into a skeleton, and a blue cape wrapped itself down of his back. It resembled his water form. Two giant horns in almost silverish colors grew out from the top of his head and fitted neatly with the holes in his hoody. Two gigantic horns sprouted out from his shoulder blades as well. They were having the same color and that part of him resembled the silver in his wind form. Black threats, attached to his back, rose to life and hovered in the air. They could function as a demon's tail if you were technically, but in this case, Declan used them to rip off the ropes that tied Gili down. He didn't care some got ruined by the holy water in it, since the threats regrew seconds later. However, before he grabbed her, he did summon a ball of pure darkness in his hands and fired it at the priest. Regardless if he did defend with his blade or not, Declan really didn't care there, he was sent flying in the other end of the room. Declan growled victoriously. That felt good. He should destroy more, he really should, but first thing first. Gili. The only reasonable thought he was having in his head was her being safe, as he turned towards the altar and picked her up in bridal style. He could see her stunned face, as his red glowing demon eyes were looking up at him. He was not sure if it was shock or pure horror, he saw, and Declan tried making a mental note, that this form might even scare or scar his Gili for life. He was after all looking very demonic in this form.

(this is his true form by the way) 

"Dec-lan?" Gili then managed to say. Her voice shivered slightly.

The demon lord growled in approval as he tried forming a sentence, but in the end gave up and decided to high tail it out of there. He could explain things later when she was in the safety of the two ninjas. Then he could destroy them all. Yeah that sounded so good.


He left the hut seconds later. The fresh air, even though was still the orders territories, was making him feel good. The sage from before still did a number of his body, but here he did manage to clear his head. His reasonings for a while.

"I will keep you safe" he mused as he looked down on Gili.

She was so beautiful he could almost ravish her. But only almost... he couldn't do that to her. She was his beloved Gili. He couldn't, wouldn't hurt her. He loved her. Everyone else he couldn't care less about. They could all die for all he cared. Just now her.

"Dec-lan. Above... you" Gili stunned out, but it was too late.

Pain ran through his arms as Declan instinctively, accidentally, dropped Gili to the ground because of it. With quick steps, the priest from before swooped in and grabbed her. His beloved Gili and took her away from him! Declan growled fiercely as he turned towards this priest's partner. The one who had attacked him just now. The boy who had run out of the hut as he had entered before, to face Sun and Moon Shadow. Had he defeated the ninja's already? Then he noticed the blade this warrior was using and hissed.

"Galaxy eyes..." he even managed to say as he were glaring at the blond-haired boy in front of him.

Anger rose in him by the mere thought of it. The galaxy eyes monsters were part of his clans. Lesser beings of course, which did make sense that it had been one of those creatures taken by that occult ritual he discovered. Even if its essence were only coming from the sword, regardless if it was captured in the sword, or created the sword from its claws, it made Declan feel grotesque.

"I will kill you all!" was the last words he managed to speak before he lost all his reasonings.


With Gili.


"This should be far enough" the priest, Aster said, as he put Gili down on the ground.

She was grateful for that, even though she wasn't sure that she wanted to leave Declan. Things had just gone fast. Declan came to save her, as she and the order expected. He had fought this priest and then... he was suddenly in a form, a demonic form that she had never seen before. It had surprised Gili beyond belief. She was not sure how to take this actually. A water bottle got tossed towards her, and she instinctively caught it. The priest, Aster send her a reassuring smile.

"Drink. It will help on the shock" he instructed.

His gaze turned towards the fight between Declan and Kite. It was visible in the horizon, as Declan had just grabbed Kite, and tossed him merciless to the ground. Gili did follow the events at first, before she began pouring the water down her throat.

"What... what..." Gili then tried asking.

"This is his true form yes" Aster said, believing that was what Gili wanted to ask "I told you he was dangerous. He is after all a demon. Still don't want us to deal with him? hmm".

Gili shook her head. Not to really answer Aster's question, but more to clear her head. What she wanted to ask earlier had been what they were going to do with Declan, but that got confirmed when Aster said they were going to deal with him. They were either going to send him back to hell or kill him. Both options she didn't like at all. However, at the same time she didn't want Declan to kill the order members or anyone for that matter either.

"I got to stop him!" she uttered and began running towards the fight, only to find a hand grabbing around her wrist and hold her back.

"Stop! What do you think you are doing?" the priest asked "You can't do a thing. Besides Kite has this under control. Trust me. The demon lord will be dealt with...".

"No! NO! I don't want that!" Gili yelled in fury as she glared at Aster "Let me go! I need to save Declan from you! I don't want him to disappear!".

"Are you still delusional? Didn't you see how horrifying this monster is?! This demon can kill us all!" Aster yelled angrily "And you still...".

"Declan would never do that. He wouldn't. I trust him! Because I love him!" Gili shouted rather loudly. Blue energy rose in her hand and forced Aster to let go. It was like he got burned or something. The priest was staring in disbelief.

"Love... Love him?!" he then uttered in pure disbelief "But that's... a demon... and the holy mother... are you...?". That was all Gili heard him say, as she had already run off towards her beloved Declan.


As she reached the area where the fight was progressing, Gili found Declan standing in front of Kite Tenjo. His hands had wrapped around his throat, and now lifted him up in the air. He was clearly going for strangling the guy. She could see how Kite even had dropped the blade he had been holding to the ground. His eyes were closed, and wasn't he mumbling something... Not that it mattered. Gili rushed forward until she was more or less a meter away from Declan.

"Declan..." she began. Her voice has an instant effect as the demon lord turned around and were looking at her. He growled but did no action in letting Kite go.

"Declan, Declan, I know you are in there" Gili continued as she took a step closer "This... this is not like you. You don't want to destroy things. Please let him go".

"Must destroy...him!" Declan growled angrily as his grip around Kite's neck tightened "He hurt my pride. They all did".

"No! No! You don't have to. Declan! I know you are a prideful demon. I know they hurt you. They hurt both of us, but..." Gili said and she put her hands together. Almost as a prayer "But if you do this... we are no better than they are!".

"Who do you think you are?!" Declan hissed as he tossed Kite away like he was just a doll. Stream emitted out of his nostrils in pure anger "Ordering a demon lord around?! You have some nerve!".

Loud footsteps could be heard as he began walking over to her, and soon were standing millimeters away from her. This close, with that skeleton face, horns and demonic aura he did in fact look like a true monster. Gili however stood firm, not backing down. If her Declan was even in there, she knew this demon would not hurt.

"I am your contractor Gili remember? We were living together in my house and had a great time, until the order showed and took me away. You came to my rescue remember" Gili tried in making him remember "You took on your true form in order to fight them. In order to protect me and I am grateful for that. But I am safe. You don't need to fight any longer. Please Declan. Return to your human form, so we can go home together". '

Silence uttered for a while, before Declan growled. His right hand grabbed around her wrist and lifted her up in the air now. They were face to face. His glowing red eyes against her blue ones.

"Must destroy everything!" Declan hissed and began squeezing tightly.

"I...I love you Declan" Gili said as she sends him a little smile "I am your contractor, and I could stop you easily, but I don't wish to chain you. I believe in you. Let's go home. Together. I love you so much Declan".


That pretty much did it, as Declan instantly dropped her to the ground. He even let out a fierce shout, before his body began changing, and before Gili knew it, her Declan was back in front of her as human.

"Gili... I...I am sorry!" Declan apologized and fell to the ground in pure distress "I... I almost destroyed you. And... do you really love me?! even after witnessing that form. I am a demon... I...".

"Of course," Gili answered as she kneeled down to his level. Her arms wrapped around his waist as her head was now lying on his chest. "I love you very much".

"I... I love you too" Declan replied rather hesitant. Properly because he never ever had said those words before to anyone. "Please don't leave me".

"Oh, what sentimental babble!" another voice then suddenly said as Kite Tenjo as he walked towards them. He did seem rather okay, besides the giant bruise on his neck. How he could be this fine after such a battle Gili had no idea, but it scared her.

"Gili!" Declan uttered as he tried to rose to his feet, only to fall back to the ground "I... I used to much... energy in that... form".

"Don't worry. I will protect you this time!" Gili uttered fiercely as she was putting herself in between Declan and Kite. Like a shield.

"Well isn't that sweet? You, a human is protecting a demon" Kite mocked as he pulled out the sword from the ground "It doesn't matter to me. Die together if you want".

Then he charged towards them. Gili was sure she heard someone yell Kite's name though. Something with that he had to stop, but Gili didn't have the time to ponder of its meaning. Kite was in front of them, ready to slice someone in pieces and Gili just didn't want that.

"Leave us alone!" she shouted, as energy, clear hell blue emitted around her. It created a shield and send kite flying instead.

"Gi-Gili?" Declan uttered stunned "You... that Astral light...".

"Yes... She is the reincarnation... the one who inherited the holy mother's power" A voice then said as Aster, while supporting Kite, who was in a wild frenzy to get free, approached them. He bowed respectfully now "All hail the holy mother, and the power of harmonics".


A,N: Yes! The chapter is done! Can't even believe I got this far in the story. Really, kinda denying this moment in my mind lol. But what a chapter. Gili really come from behind. Declan goes on rampage and yeah. A lot of stuff happened. This is the longest chapter yet. Amazing right?! Hopefully not gonna create that long of a chapter again. However, what do you readers think so far? Would like some feedback. As for the next chapter, we get more into the holy mother and Harmonics. So, stay tuned.
