......... Truly it is as though the flames of hell have scorched this land...
The struggling one... so these are the footprints of his passing.
It appears to be over... it seems his devil's luck has not deserted him.
However... this path is a path of the night, far too rigorous for a human body to travel...
Can he continue to walk this path as a human? Or...
.............
(Huff Huff)
(giggle giggle giggle giggle)
you killed...
you killed them...
yeah, you killed lots of them...
children...
infants...
many...
yeah, you killed them...
lots...
to quench your hatred...
you killed them...
you killed them...
just to satisfy your own feelings...
poor innocent children...
so many...
you killed them...
is it okay because they were demons?
is it okay to kill them?
those kids didn't ask to become demons, you know...
they were just poor little kids...
lots of them...
for the sake of that one sole feeling in you...
is it okay to kill them?
children...
tens of people...
hundreds of people...
is it okay to kill them?
if it's to keep just yourself alive...
is it okay to kill them?
you have the scent of darkness...
you do...
you have the scent of darkness, very much like we do...
it's there...
it's there inside you...
a beast...
a black, black
beast of darkness...
you will thirst...
with this inside you...
more and more...
you will thirst...
the more you bathe in blood...
the more you will thirst...
for the beast's appetite is endless...
the more you kill, the more you thirst...
the more you thirst, the more you kill...
keep bathing in blood...
keep killing...
keep thirsting...
forever...
alll alone...
forever...
forever...
alone...
forever...
forever...
then the beast will consume you...
it will replace you...
you will no longer feel anything but hatred...
you will become a monster in the shape of a human...
no...
maybe...
maybe you can become a real monster...
maybe you can...
maybe...
maybe...
just like your friend...
just like...
(giggle giggle)
No way in hell!!!
in a place like this...
against these puny weaklings...
But... when will I arrive?
How many more spirits do I have to push through?
How many more apostles do I have to slice through?
How much further do I have to crawl through the darkness...
...to find him?
Ah, he's close!
With wounds like that...
I'm sure he'd be lying half-dead around here somewhere, right? Geez...
(hmm, a signal.)
Idiot sighted!
Oh man, am I gonna give him an earful!
Hey big guy! Just sit tight there!
WAAAH!
HEY! Whaddya think you're doing, wake up! You're gonna die!
HEY MORON!! GIVE IT SOME GUSTO!! You were acting like such a badass talking to Jill, now look at yourself! What happened!?
GYAAAAH!

......!!
Be grateful, that was a wake-up poke.
Why you...

Ha... hahahaha... ahhh...

Heh... I can let up a bit with you around...
Being serious all the time can really screw with your head.
Looks like they've finally given up.
Did you see my awesome power!!?
it's there...
a beast...
you'll become...
a monster...
you'll become...
......
A beast...
A monster... gimme a break.
I am who I am.
Not anything else.
I'll find my way to him...
...exactly how I am now.
So... I guess you should go wash off all that blood, then I can tend to your wounds.
Hey...
Its all thanks to me!
Thanks to ME, you were able to stay alive.
All because of ME.
(Well, one thing's for sure...)
(...he makes a good medicine box.)
All right already.
You win, Puck.
You've got yourself a house.
Have a blast.
Hey! Did you just say "Puck"!?
Huh?
You did, you said it! I've been with you forever and a day, but that's the first time you ever called me by my name!
Gimme a break.
