Chapter 65: Ally or Enemy?

A powerful fire suddenly descended on Belphegor. That fire was orange with a bit red of mix. He resisted that fire and from which appeared Leviathan — one of the Seven Prince of Hell, the sin of envy.

"What is your problem?" Belphegor asked Leviathan calmly.

"Huh, what's my problem? You're the one with the problem! You crazy dumb ass! How dare you three times a day!"

Leviathan punched but Belphegor resisted the attack. Their fists collided and their flames spread around.

"What is your butt firing?" disgusted Belphegor asked.

Leviathan frowned.

"Don’t deny!" he was still angry with his language.

"What are you saying?"

Their fists remained colliding as they stared intently.

"Regina told me-one of the souls I got that a man with red hair helped her siter and set her on fire. It's not her time yet!"

A silly laugh escaped Belphegor. He lowered his fist and looked at Leviathan who was even more annoyed with him.

"It's not me. I haven't even been to your territory yet. It's fun... The red-haired creature like me is none other than my rebellious son Grimm. Alas, he went to hell. I did not even see the bewildered."

Belphegor even combed the ends of his red hair. Leviathan was stunned and understood looking at his face.

"Is it Grimm?" he said in amazement.

"That's right. The last update for me was that he joined with an exorcist-priest and he was fighting us. He is now serving on the opponent's side. That one is really fool, does he think a Failure-creation like him will be accepted? It was a big mistake for him to side with the other side because at first, he was no longer there. Grimm is really stupid. And his stupidity is annoying! How dare him three times a day!" Belphegor explained.

Leviathan was sarcastically shaken by what he heard. He also laughed softly.

"In that case, you wouldn't be offended if I sent a staff to finish Grimm?"

"I do not care. Do what you want and I will be very happy when the head of that rebuke is brought here to me."

"Hmp! You said it clearly."

"Yeah."

Leviathan turned around and walked away. Belphegor smiled.

"What are you going to do now, Grimm? Your enemy is increasing. Leviathan is mad at you now. He will definitely send a strong demon to kill you." He retorted.

Gaunt was just outside and he could hear everything that his father and Leviathan were talking about. He took a deep breath and came up with an idea. He immediately walked away.

Rusty and Grimm stopped walking when Gaunt suddenly appeared in front of them. They came from school and were on their way home. Grimm prepared himself for the upcoming fight. Gaunt smiled at Rusty but his face became serious as he turned his eyes to his younger brother.

"G-Gaunt?" Rusty was surprise and she backed away.

Grimm walked quickly forward and hid the girl behind him.

"Just relax, brother... I did not come to fight." Gaunt suddenly said.

Grimm was stunned and amazed to see his older brother. He could not believe what he heard.

"First of all, I'm here to apologize for the blasphemy I did to Rusty last time."

Gaunt tapped his fingers on his right hand and in a flash a bouquet of white-roses appeared in front of Rusty. It fell into the girl's hands and she looked at Gaunt in shock. Grimm did not say a word but he felt whatever his brother would do. It may just be bluffing.

"Secondly... I appeared to you to warn you, Grimm."

"H-Ha?!" Grimm did not expect what he heard.

Gaunt folded his arms.

"You heard right. Leviathan was angry at what you did to his toy. He will send a powerful demon to kill you. So you have to be careful."

After that Gaunt fired his right-fist.

"Do not think that I am saying this to you because I have forgiven you. I am doing this to get revenge on our pest father Belphegor."

When Grimm regained his composure a wide smile suddenly flashed on his lips. He could not explain how he felt, as if something had lost weight on his chest. He was glad to see his brother.

"Brother Gaunt, thank you!" he said excitedly.

Gaunt's eyebrows met and he threw the fire he had gathered into his right fist. Grimm quickly released ice to ward off his older brother's attack. There was thick smoke due to the mist that collided with their power. When the smoke cleared, Gaunt disappeared like a bubble. It left no trace. Both Rusty and Grimm were stunned because they were shocked by what Gaunt did. They did not expect that thing.

Grimm first recovered from the shock and excitedly faced Rusty who seemed a bit surprised. He excitedly grabbed her by both shoulders.

"R-Rusty! Kuya Gaunt forgave me!"

Rusty smiled as she saw Grimm's happy face. It obviously cries with great joy.

"Yes. I think so. Hopefully, you two will get along."

"He showed good signs, didn't he?"

"Right."

After that Grimm looked at the road again. He hoped his brother would reappear there but it did not show up. Still, he was very happy with what happened.

It was obvious to Grimm the intense joy he was feeling because while he was baking bread in the oven he made he was still singing. He no longer cares if his voice is out of tuned and not good.

"Hoy, what bad wind is blowing on you ah?"

Grimm was slightly startled when he heard that voice. He slowly stood up and faced the speaker and he saw the smiling face of his teacher Orphen. He smiled at it.

"Something as good as happened." he replied.

Amaze, it looked at his face and smiled mischievously.

"You are now the boyfriend of Clemen’s niece?" suddenly its language.

Grimm's face suddenly warmed up and he frowned at his teacher.

"No! I was so scared of her Dad then. But anyway, I'll just say outside."

"That's right, the weird priest is also outside."

Orphen came out first and he followed. He saw Father Clemen busy eating monay(a type of bread roll but in Spanish it means... Just google it) while drinking the hot coffee given by his Lola Epang.

"Oh, what happened? Why isn't it just the hair that makes Grimm blush? Why even his face?" Clemen asked casually.

Orphen laughed softly.

"None. I just asked if he was the boyfriend of your niece. It suddenly happened. He blushed."

"It's just because of the heat of the furnace. But anyway, why are you here?" Grimm asked to his Teachers.

"Hmm... Nothing. We just want to see if you are still alive. So far, you look okay." Clemen said.

Grimm took a deep breath.

"How about Miss Ruth? How is she?"

"She is okay, her life is back to normal. It was be a big help that we erase her memories. If Clemen and I hadn't done that, she probably would at the Mental Health Institution. It's a pity when that happens." Orphen said.

"But anyway, why do you look so happy?" Clemen asked.

Grimm suddenly smiled as he remembered his brother. He took a deep breath and was happy to look at the faces of his companions.

"K-Kuya Gaunt, he suddenly showed up."

"Ha?!" Clemen reacted in shock.

"He did not challenge me to a fight. Instead, he warned me. He told me that Leviathan was responsible for what happened to Regina and because of that, he said he would send a demon to kill me. What do you think?" Grimm asked Father Clemen.

It sighed and folded its arms.

"He did a wonderful job but let's not be complacent because we do not know right now if your Kuya Gaunt is your ally or enemy." he just commented.

Meanwhile... Leviathan smiled when he saw what he was looking for. He was sure, it was the perfect demon he would send to put an end to Belphegor's rebellious son Grimm. The man sat on a black rock and played with the knife in his hand. Its straight black shoulder-length hair is loose. It is darker, taller and somewhat muscular due to the training it has undergone. The man bowed. Leviathan walked over to it and looked carefully at the creature he was going to. The man is all-black attire.

"I have a job for you." he began.

The man looked up and he saw the entirety of his beautiful face. Its light-brown eyes focused on him.

"Who do I have to kill?" this question is straightforward.

A frugal smile flashed on Leviathan's lips. He walked in front of the man and then he looked at it again.

"Grimm is your best friend - Belphegor's son, right?"

The man answered with a simple nod.

"You became close to each other because you trained together to discover your abilities, that’s all, you left him and he remained a useless creature. Did you know that he is a headache now? He is fighting us now. Is it okay if you kill Grimm, for me?"

The man looked at him without emotion. The corner of its lip moved.

"All right." its short answer.

"In that case, I will send you to the world of people. By the way, Belphegor's special request that you bring Grimm's head to him by the time you kill him."

The man did not uttered a word.

"I hope you can do my bid as soon as possible, you are the best assassin here in hell. This is your chance to show that you are better than Gaunt." Leviathan added.

Leviathan turned around and walked away. The man let out another violent sigh.

"Grimm... We'll meet again." its language is still weak.

The next day, Grimm was busy with his friends. They are arranging all the old things in an haunted old-mansion. They were accompanied by Father Clemen and Orphen.

"Where can I put this mirror?" Rey asked.

Father Clemen looked at the young man holding the mirror. It was as big and vintage as any other item. It should remove the brown paper wrapped around it but...

"Don't!" he stopped.

"Why?"

"That mirror belongs to the witch who used to live in this mansion. The story says that before she was killed, she locked her soul inside that mirror. Her earthly body just died but not her soul. By the time someone looks in that mirror, her soul will merge with the body of the person who looked in the mirror. It is said that the mirror represents our soul. It's a simple thing but it's dangerous and complicated."

Because of what he heard, Rey almost let go of the mirror he was holding. Fortunately, Grimm was prompt. He grabbed the mirror that his friend was carrying which he almost dropped.

"I'll take it."

"All right. You want it."

Rey immediately handed the mirror to his friend. When Grimm touched the mirror he felt the strange aura there. Bad-aura. Father Clemen was right.

"What to do here?" he asked to his teachers.

"Bring it to me." Orphen said.

Grimm had already brought the mirror to Orphen. He presented the mirror to his teacher. Orphen immediately pulled out a pentagram and wrapped it in full mirror. He bound the spirit that dwells there. He took the mirror from Grimm and placed it on the table next to the wall.
