The “God” Devil had descended, vowing to destroy this corrupt world. The Public Safety Devil Hunters, in a panic, prepared as the fearsome devil came down upon Japan first, sending disaster upon disaster.

The strongest of the Devil Hunters, including you, set off. Asa had made the mistake of refusing to leave your side and following you, despite your prior refusal.

The war was bloody. Despite Asa and Yoru’s partnership, Yoru’s attempts were futile despite the artillery and weapons. Many colleagues lost their lives, their contracted devils fleeing before they could be eaten. Soon, you and few others were left to fight this monstrous being.

With you having the more powerful devil contract, you fought your hardest. Buildings collapsed and lives fell apart, as evacuation was the least drastic measure being taken. Houses were being used as shelter, office buildings as weapons, it felt hopeless.

As the light and hope you held on to so tightly slipped out of your grasp, your final resort came to mind.

As you gave your contracted devil your entire being, your vision soon became distorted. Even though your wounds were healing as their own monstrous form took your place, you felt peace, knowing it was not on your shoulders anymore. As the darkness of this devil was halfway through taking over your body, Asa ran in, lightly injured but bleeding.

You were then reminded who you did all of this for. The girl you met in the closed off corners of the school. But as her wide eyes met yours, which were filled with tears, her shouts blurring out, you shook your head, a silent message saying it was okay. Even if the world was doomed, at least the last thing you’d see was her.
