Garcia stands face to face with his father. He glares at him like seeing a mortal enemy.

They are deep underground in Dante's secret lair. The tunnel has quite complicated structures. It won't be easy to find them down here.

Torches hanged on the walls are burning brightly, illuminating the cavern.

Dante mocks, "Are you still angry? He is just a pathetic human being. His beauty will wither in time. You should have found another demon."

He points to humans trapped in cages like cattles.

He mocks, "You have been hungry for a long time. Eat. Now your pesky boyfriend is no longer around..."

"Boiled. Grilled. Or maybe fried?" teases Dante.

As an old sophisticated Demon Lord, he doesn't eat raw human flesh. He prefers them cooked. Like cattles.

He even kept a human chef to cook him a decent meal. Using fleshs and bones from other human beings.

Garcia grits his teeth until his gums are bleeding. It was his choice not to eat human flesh or drink their blood. He is trying to keep his humanity.

Nathaniel never bossed him around. He was a sweet little lover. Too good for a half demon like him.

Ayla walks in and stands next to Garcia. She smiles brightly at him. Her previous Master looks at her like a disgusting bug.

She hugs him and claims, "Master, I have loved you for ages. Please accept me."

Garcia pushes her and Ayla falls backwards.

He hates Traitor.

She rises back to her feet again. She wipes her dirty hands on her dress. She walks toward her new Master, Dante.

She smiles to earn favor from the old Demon.

Dante snorts. This stinky boy knows nothing good. Having a grudge over a puny human being.

A stab to his back makes him hissed out of pain.

He slashes her with his sharp claws.

A shard of broken blade is still buried deep on his back.

Ayla screams when she lost her right arm. Blood is streaming down from the wound.

Garcia leaps forward and stabs his father with another shard. He obtained it from Ayla earlier when she hugged him.

Ayla manages to gain Dante's trust and infiltrates his deepest lair to steal shards of Balmung.

It's also known as Dragon Slayer Sword. The only weapon known to injure Dante in the past.

The sword wielder has been killed and eaten many centuries ago.

Dante broke the sword and kept the shards to prevent others to use against him.

He let his guard down because Ayla is a cute and innocent looking little female snake.

Ayla's betrayal was only a scam. Her Master asked her to switch side and found out about the Balmung shards.

Garcia learned about the item from a dying Elder in Snake Clan many years ago. Dante has mortally injured him in cold blood.

Your foe is my dearest friend.

Dante is a snake failed to become a dragon. One Imoogi.

That's why the Dragon slayer sword worked on him.

Dante hisses out of pain. He strangles his son and lifts him off the ground.

"I can give you life. I can also take it back."
