"Woah! You're so fast!"

The giant bird that is giving Iruma and Hayami a ride is a demon that went through some things and ended up having Iruma heal its wound, along with Hayami showing signs of compassion and patience. It seemed to have grown attached to the two students.

She smiled brightly while holding onto Iruma. Her hair waved behind her through the wind as it carried them. "I wonder if it is going to take us straight to the goal." He said.

"Maybe. I think so." She said, unsure of it. This bird is the largest creature she has seen so far in Netherworld. She narrowed her eyes a little at the feathery bird demon. "I wonder..."

"Hmm?" He glanced behind him while she looked at him once more. "I wonder if it is the child of the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley." She said then she put her hand over her head and closed her eyes. Her eyes opened afterward then placed her hand on his shoulder. "No."

"No? Huh?"

Danger.

Stay away.

"Th-this way is probably a bad idea!" 

Seriously stop.

Those were the signs that were spotted as the bird went through this alley. "No, wait! Let's not...Hey!"

Sabnock was attacked. 'I was too careless.' It swung its claw at him and he was on the ground. 'At this rate... I'm going to... die...' He looked at the large creature. 'The Guardian of Cutthroat Valley. Just as its name suggests, it is a formidable foe!' He stood up and bit on the golden tab that was around his necklace with bronze and silver. He created a golden metal double-sided axe.

Weapon Creation: Sabnock's Bloodline Ability. He can create weapons made of the same material he is currently biting on.

He charged at it. 'I cannot lose here! I must become the Demon King then a Demon God!' He remembered everything from his past and the Demon King and Demon God's prophecy scroll. 

"He shall make one and all his servants... One will be exceptionally great with leadership skills." He looked through it—To watching his brother leaving him while urging him to get to the Demon King's throne and then his sister who supposedly died in bed just before making him swear his promise. "None of that actually happened! My older brother is a pacifist, and my  younger sister is just fine!" He swung the double axe at it and it cracked from the damage. 

"The reason I want to become the Demon King... is just because that's the coolest thing you can be! Demon God is just as cool or even better! Because I was born a demon, the coolest thing I can do is stand at the top!" He threw the axe to the ground and bit on the silver metal tag to create a large sword. He leaped in the air, charging at the beast with a battle cry, then swung his sword at the beast to attack it. 

It effortlessly stopped the sword with its claw. "Why you..." He tried to pull it away. The guardian knocked the weapon in the air and attacked back, he slid across the ground and near the edge of the cliff with boiling lava at the bottom. Any closer and he would have fallen to his demise. The Guardian approached him while he sat up painfully. 

"I will not... I will not... I will not become a lame demon like him who never strives to be anything better!" He thought back to when he was crafting while he was watching him. "I have no regrets... my ambition has brought me this far! I have seen my will through  to the end!" Suddenly, Iruma stepped in front of him to shield him. "Sabnock-kun!" 

"Iruma! What art thou doing?!" He pushed him away as the guardian was going to attack, but was stopped just in front of their face. The child of the guardian was chirping at the guardian. While it was distracted by its child, He grabbed Iruma's head. "What art thou doing here?"
