A thick black mist was emitted from War's body as it was enveloped in blue flames, slowly burning to ash. The thick mist entered Colin's body, and as it did, the runes on his body glowed brightly and wide smile stretched across his face. The darkness domain was released, allowing Bartus and Skorn to see properly again. The battle was over, and victory belonged to the Dunamis family, but...there was still one more threat left.

[Now!!!] Skorn said, and both he and Bartus rushed towards Colin, but their bodies fell limply to the ground, I'm moving as all of their strength disappeared.

"Nice try, but unfortunately for you, my [He'll Rage] rune has expired, and now you're facing the repercussions." He said, chuckling evilly as a dagger flew into his hand, and he walked towards both of them menacingly.

"Colin!!!" Alice shouted as she flew towards Colin

"Alice wait!!!" Lily said as she flew after her and caught the vampire midair.

"Colin's not home right now honey. But here's a present from me to you." He said and threw the dagger towards both of them, as it cut through the air at a very fast speed. It was too fast for either of them to dodge in their present state, so Lily quickly hugged Alice and turned her back towards the dagger.

"Shit, you little brat. You strong willed brat." Colin growled out annoyed as the dagger floated behind Lily, only inch from his back. Colin's hand trembled, before spasming uncontrollably, unnaturally, causing his bone to pierce through his wrist.

"You know you are only hurting yourself right?" Mephistopheles said nonchalantly as he looked at the bone piercing through his wrist and blood painting the ground.

[Fuck you.] Colin said from inside his head. He had figured out how to see everything from inside the strange mindspace Mephistopheles put him in, and he was watching everything since Mephistopheles decided to join the fight. He then started trying to work out how to actually move his body, and breaking his own wrist and stopping the dagger was the result of that.

"I don't swing that way kid." Mephistopheles laughed and Colin roared at him angrily

"No need to be upset, I have what I came for and I'll happily give you back your body. But I would like some respect and gratitude." He said

[Respect and Gratitude? You just tried to kill my friend and my wife, and you want gratitude.] Colin asked fuming

"And respect, don't forget the respect." He said and Mephistopheles could feel his affinities go out of control due to Colin, and he sighed

'I still don't have full control of this body huh.' Mephistopheles thought

[I heard that, bastard.] Colin said

"Damn it." He said before he was enveloped in a pillar of hellfire, and his consciousness went back to the recesses of Colin's mind. When the pillar of hellfire disappeared, Colin's body returned to normal and he regained full control of his body.

"Curse that bastard." Colin said, before looking at his wrist and wincing in pain. Hellfire surrounded his hand and once it disappeared, his hand was fully healed.

"Are the two of you alright?" Colin asked, turning towards Bartus and Skorn

"Just peachy." Bartus barely strained out, while Skorn only groaned, unable to speak because of the nerve wracking pain.

"Colin!!!" Alice shouted as she crashed into Colin with tears flowing out of her eyes, and Colin gently patted her head.

"What happened? How did the fragment take over? Please don't tell me he can do that anytime?" Lily asked as she landed on the ground, and Colin could see the other demons that survived the war rushing towards them. They looked exhausted and injured as they slowly made their way towards him.

"I'm not sure how he took control, but I don't think he can do it anytime he pleases. Taking over my body seems to have taken a lot of energy out of him." Colin said, looking at the rune on the right side of his body, which now covered his entire right arm. The elaborate tattoo has lost it's red glow, turning completely black and Colin couldn't feel any energy coming out from it.

"Hey, what's that?" Alice asked, looking over Colin's shoulder at War's corpse. Floating above it gently was a soul crystal with yellow and red energies floating inside and what looked like small orange stars orbiting around it.

"It looks like a soul shards?" Colin said

"Not like any I've seen before." Lily said as she picked it up, but winced when she felt it burn her and quickly dripped it.

"Yep, not the kind of soul crystal I'm used to." She said while looking at the burn marks on her hand. Colin used the [Psychic Force] enchantment of the [Psychic-Aquarius Chain] to bring it towards him and make it float above his hand.

"I don't think this thing is safe to keep inside the town." He said as it vibrated unstably in his hand and he could feel the raging energies inside it. He also remembered Mephistopheles' explanation when he was fighting War, which reinforced his thought on not keeping it in town.

"In that case, maybe we could talk to mom and ask her about it? She may have seen something like this before and know what we should do with it." Lily said, a bit nervously

"I think you're right. We should talk to her, hopefully she won't try and kill me." Colin said, causing Lily to sigh in relief.
