Ryūko and Iruma were sitting on the back of the white demon bird. It went through some things and ended up having Ryūko heal its wound. It seems to have grown attached to her.

"This is mind-blowing. I wonder if it's just going to fly us straight to the goal." Said Iruma.

To his dismay, Ryūko noticed the surroundings and signs telling them to stay away.

"If this valley isn't giving us a chill, relaxing route... Oh no! We got pushed down to Cutthroat Valley by accident!" Said Ryūko in shock.

"We need to turn back!" Exclaimed Iruma but the bird didn't listen.

Oh boy, this won't end well.

With Sabnock

Sabnock was still fighting against the guardian of Cutthroat Valley. He couldn't withstand the guardian's attacks any longer.

'I was right... I'm going to...die...' Thought Sabnock, 'The Guardian of Cutthroat Valley... I guess it's no surprise it certainly lives up to its name.'

Giving up just wasn't Sabnock's option! He bit on the bronze tag hanging with a silver and gold tag on his necklace and he creates a bronze ax to fight with.

Sabnock's bloodline ability: Weapon Creation. He can create weapons made of whatever material he is chomping on.

He charged towards the beast.

'Failure is not an option... I must become the Demon King at any cost!' He thought. Sabnock then remembers his childhood, where he read the Demon King Prophecy Scroll, where his elder brother left his family to become the next Demon King, and where his younger sister has fallen ill and asking Sabnock to become the next Demon King, no matter the cost, as her last wish. But in reality...

"None of that actually happened! It's all a LIE!!! My older brother is a pacifist and my little sister is just fine!" He released out loud, "I wanted to become the Demon King for only one reason... because of all the things I could be! That one is the coolest! Because I was born a demon, the coolest thing I can do is stand at the top!"

He threw away his broken bronze ax and bit the silver tag on his necklace to create a steel broadsword.

He relentlessly attacked the Guardian, but to no avail. The Guardian swung its leg and catapults Sabnock's sword and slammed him to the ground, nearly at the edge over scalding hot lava. He struggled to get back up.

"I won't... I won't do it... I won't become a weak, pathetic, toothless demon like him who never strives to improve himself!" Said Sabnock, "I promised myself. I have zero regrets... My ambition has brought me all the way here! Yes, I will see my results through right to the bitter end!"

Before the beast could deliver a final blow, Ryūko and Iruma slide in between Sabnock and the beast with their arms outstretched.

"Sabnock! Art thou alright?" Asked Ryūko now using Shakespearean English.

He didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on her.

"Ryūko! What art thou and Iruma doing here?!" Questioned Sabnock.

Ryūko never thought it would be the end of her time of protecting her brother, but before the Guardian launched an attack on her group, it stopped when the white demon bird was in front of it. It was talking to the Guardian.

"What art thou doing here?" Asked Sabnock again.

"What art I doing here? I, alongside Iruma, hast seen thou in danger so support thee we must." Answered Ryūko.
