"AMEN." SAID THE ARCS and Demons as they finished their prayer. Then everyone started eating.
"So Kharon had already explained to you about those two S Ranked Demons," Dongmin stated. Sunggyu nodded his head and answered, "Yeah, Kharon already told us about them being one of Pandora's evil emotions. And apparently, he asked us to protect those two assholes."
"If you ask me I'm against it. Why on earth would we protect those Demons after what they've done to us?" Junhyung added.
"I know what they did was wrong but we can't judge them easily. After all, all of you were "destined" to kill each other before, but look at you now." Dongmin stated, making Sunggyu and Junhyung lower their heads upon realizing it.
"But what does the king want with them anyway?" Taeil asked as he looked at the Arcs's guardian.
Dongmin took a sip of his wine and looked at the Demon's master planner, "We're not quite sure, but if it's the king he's obviously going to use them to destroy all of us. If he can possess those seven emotions, then he can never be destroyed. It's going to be impossible. That's why Pandora has them so she could keep everything balanced. Well...had them."
"We can't harm Pain and Panic, so if the king absorbs all seven he'd be indestructible," Taeil says; now understanding it as well.
"Well he's really smart, I'll tell you that," Sungjae adds.
"But why did Pandora give them to the King of Hell if she knows it will destroy the balance?" Hyunseung then asked.
"It's not like she's given a choice," Lay answered.
"Well, you do have a point there."
Sunggyu quickly joins in the conversation and says, "But we're still trying to look for Jiyong, and we obviously don't have much time. We can't waste the little time we have left by protecting those two."
"They told you they know where Jiyong is placed right? Protect them and maybe they'll tell you," Dongmin stated, but Jihoon quickly shook his head and says, "They'll never tell us. They'd rather have us play their games before they'd even say it."
"Then isn't it obvious? Play their games and win them. They were sent here for a reason, and I think telling you where Jiyong is, is part of the reasons why they're brought here. They're technically on our side," Dongmin explained, making everyone look at him confusingly.
"On our side? They wouldn't play us like that if they were on our side. They're treating us like we're weaker than them." Mark complained, so Dongmin quickly added, "That's because you are."
"That's bullshit, we're way more powerful than-"
Dongmin quickly cuts Minhyuk off and says, "More powerful, yes. But haven't you realized something? They're training you through their games. I've watched it unfold through the mirrors. What they did was a way for you to stop using your powers and start using your brains. They were right. If you keep on doing this then all of you are bound to die like Jiyong. The battle that happened at hell, I would lie if I told you that you didn't have a chance at saving Jiyong because you obviously could have won if all of you used your brains. Taeil won't be there to tell you all what to do as soon as the battle starts. You have to act on your own."
"So you're saying that we should be thankful that they're doing this to us?" Suho asked and Dongmin nodded, "Yes. They're the only chance you have if you want to outsmart the king."
"And how are we so sure that these games will benefit us?" this time, it was Jackson who asked.
"They escaped the King of Hell, and obviously they didn't use their powers to do so. You need to strategize if you want to win, and you need them to make a good strategy." Dongmin answered.
