The Chairman vs the Nine Circles, Part 1

Lucifer barges through a pair of double-doors which lead into one of the many buildings of the Slayer Organization Headquarters and drops to the ground on his knees, gasping for breath and panting heavily.

"That atmosphere was just too intense, with that crazy-strong old man and that weird half demon always talking about his mom…I had to get out of there!" Lucifer rants.

Lucifer then perks up a bit when he sees a swarm of demons out the corner of his eye, and turns to face the demon horde Lucifer then picks himself up off of the ground and creeps over to the edge of the demon horde, where he sees them engaged in combat with a group of Pro Slayers.

"Yeah, kill them, my demon army!" Lucifer cheers, causing the group of Pro Slayers to perk up. Each one of the Pro Slayers turn, and lock their eyes on Lucifer, who flinches, and begins to sweat.

"Hey, there he is!" Ralph exclaims.

"Lucifer, right?" Jamie asks.

"Let's get 'em!" Ivy barks.

Jamie then charges towards Lucifer, as Ivy continues playing her flute, sending Lycan after Jamie. Meanwhile, Austin and Ralph remain behind to provide cover fire.

"AHHH!" Lucifer cries as he ducks behind a group of demons for cover. "Protect me, my demon army!"

In response, the demon horde lets out a series of grunts then jumps in front of Lucifer, protecting him from harm's way.

"Adaptability: Iron Gauntlet!" Jamie shouts as she reinforces her iron fists with her yellow Cursed Power, using them to slam into the approaching demon horde, and send them flying.

"Gunsmith: Assault Rifle!" Austin shouts as he constructs an Assault Rifle out of his Cursed Power and aims it at the approaching demon horde, squeezing the trigger, and using it to mow down dozens of demons where they stand.

"Morale Arrow: Valley Shot!" Ralph shouts as he constructs a bow out of his Cursed Power then knocks back dozens of arrows, firing them towards the approaching demon horde and piercing them, killing them instantly.

"Zoo Keeper!" Ivy shouts as she blows into her flute, using it to send a wolf-form Lycan pouncing upon the demon horde, and using his claws and fangs to shred through them.

But no matter how many demons the Pro Slayers kill, more just keep spawning, and they can't seem to be able to make it to Lucifer.

"ACHOO!"

"Are you okay?" Ella asks as she pauses and turns to face me.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply as I wipe the snot from my nose. "Someone must be talking about me."

The fight between the Chairman versus the first three Circles of Hell starts off when the Chairman shouts; "The Notebook: Wind Control!"

The wind around the three first Circles of Hell then begins to spin rapidly, until it forms into a towering tornado wrapped around each demon. The Chairman then couches down into a running stance, while also wrapping wind around his ankles.

"Normally I'd have used Slayer Hachi's attack for speed, too bad he's dead," the Chairman comments. "Oh well. Slayer Fūjin's Wind Control works fine."

The Chairman then dashes forwards while also summoning a tailwind behind him for an extra speed boost, charging towards the first three Circles of Hell just as Luis would.

Once directly in front of the first three Circles of Hell, the tornados spiraling around the three demons dissipate, allowing them to get a good look at the Chairman.

"The Notebook-" the Chairman begins to say as he brandishes his notebook again, leaving his bookmark on Luis' page, and flipping through the notebook until the Chairman finds a specific page. But this time, the Chairman leaves his notebook open.

"-Adaptability!" The Chairman shouts as his entire right arm changes into iron, like Jamie. The Chairman then slams his iron-solid fist into Lust, sending the demon flying backwards and shattering through the wall behind her.

"My bookmark has two main functions-" the Chairman begins to explain. "A) it allows me to use the Cursed Ability of whichever page my bookmark is on while my notebook is closed. And B) it allows me to use the Cursed Ability of whichever page my bookmark is on while also being able to use the Cursed Ability of whichever page my notebook is opened to. Though of course, I had to recruit a Pro Slayer to specifically design their Cursed Ability for me."

"So that book must be the source of his Cursed Ability…" Limbo begins to say.

"We better grab it," Gluttony finishes.

Slowly, Lust pushes herself out of the rubble and turns to face the Chairman. "CHARGE, MY LOVE SLAVES!" Lust angrily shrieks as she points to the Chairman.

The Chairman hears a series of grunts and roars echo from outside of the lobby of the Slayer Organization headquarters, and then; an army of demons bursts through the front doors, shattering the glass double doors to pieces, and charging the Chairman.

"My Cursed Ability; Love Slaves, allow me fully control anyone who feels any sort of attraction to me," Lust smirks. "And as the sexiest demon of them all; these small fry are all over me."

Lust cackles her horde of love-stricken demons charge the Chairman, surrounding him.

But the Chairman remains stone-faced as the demons circle around him.

The Chairman pulls his bookmark out of his notebook, flips through the pages of his notebook, then stops on a specific page and slides his bookmark into it, as the Chairman closes his notebook. The Chairman's arm then reverts back into flesh from iron.

With a roar, the demon horde surrounding the Chairman all charge in unison.

The Chairman peers around…surveying his prey.

"The Notebook: Alchemy," the Chairman says as his hands begin bubbling with his platinum Cursed Power.

The Chairman then crouches down, placing his hands to the floor.

"Tar Floor!" The Chairman shouts as the floor around the demons turns into tar, trapping the demons, who begin sinking into the sticky, black tar, unable to move or free themselves.

The Chairman then opens his notebook again, flipping to a certain page until the Chairman finds the one he's looking for. This time, however, the Chairman leaves his notebook open.

"The Notebook: Hydrokinesis!" The Chairman shouts as he holds his palms out to the demons, unleashing a blast of water so high-pressure that it shoots the demons straight through their guts as the Chairman turns in a circle, firing his blast of water at each and every demon, killing them instantly.

After slaughtering each and every demon, the Chairman closes his notebook then turns back to face Lust, as the tar floor reverts back to its regular tiles.

But before the fight can continue, Limbo appears beside the Chairman and snatches his notebook out of his hands, causing the Chairman's eyes to widen.

"You were too busy focusing on Lust's Love Slaves to notice me disappear," Limbo comments. "Gluttony, eat up!" Limbo then shouts as he turns to face Gluttony, chucking the Chairman's notebook Gluttony's way.

"The taste of despair, my favorite!" Gluttony cackles as he leaps into the air, opening his bulging mouth up wide and snatching the Chairman's notebook out of the air. Upon landing back on the ground, Gluttony then swallows the Chairman's notebook with a mighty chomp.

"Hah!" Limbo spits as he turns to face the Chairman. "How do you plan on fighting us now?"

"Love Slaves: Lustful Rampage!" Queen shrieks as she sends her horde of love-stricken demons charging towards the Chairman again.

This time, in order to defend, the Chairman brings his hands together and begins charging up a sphere of platinum Cursed Power between his two hands. The Chairman then thrusts his hands forwards, sending an emission of platinum Cursed Power flying forwards and blasting into the approaching demon horde in a rush of platinum Cursed Power. But some of the demons manage to slip through the Chairman's initial attack, and continue charging towards him.

In order to counter, the Chairman chambers his right fist as it begins bubbling with his plagnum Cursed Power. The Chairman then launches his Cursed Power Barrier reinforced hand forwards, slamming it into the approaching demon horde in yet another rush of platinum Cursed Power, killing them instantly.

"Damn, so that didn't work," Gluttony complains.

The Chairman doesn't reply. Instead, the Chairman smirks as he holds a hand out, constructing a notebook out of his platinum Cursed Power, which then takes shape, forming into a physical notebook.

"My notebook is made out of Cursed Power," the Chairman explains with a cocky grin. "That way, why you destroy it, I can just create a new one that is an exact copy of the original. I've lost count as to how many notebooks I've had over the years. I don't use my Cursed Ability via my notebook, I use my notebook via my Cursed Ability."

But that's when the Chairman feels two hands wrap around his neck tightly. The Chairman grunts in pain as he feels his neck benign to close up, prohibiting him from being able to breath.
