Five years.
Five years to reshape himself.
Five years to perfect his power.
Five years to make sure that when he returned, Raizo would not escape him again.
Inside the Infernal Citadel, surrounded by flames that burned hotter than any mortal sun, Ryuketsu stood before his generals—a terrifying group of devils, warlords, and forgotten gods.
Their eyes glowed with power, their bodies pulsing with energy stolen from entire worlds.
At the head of the table, Ryuketsu grinned.
"When I return to Earth… it will not be to fight. It will be to conquer."
Ryuketsu’s plan was split into four phases, each one designed to break Raizo before the final battle even began.
?? Phase One: The Corruption of Arcane High
- Ryuketsu would send his spies and followers to infiltrate Arcane High.
- Some students would be tempted by power, others would fall into dark magic traps.
- By the time Raizo realized it, his own students would turn against him.
? Phase Two: The Fall of Humanity

- Ryuketsu would send his armies to wipe out entire cities, turning Earth into a battlefield of despair.
- He would force Raizo and Tenzir to spend their energy protecting civilians, weakening them before the real fight.
?? Phase Three: The Demon Awakening
- Ryuketsu would resurrect legendary demons—ancient beasts so powerful that even gods feared them.
- These creatures would serve as his ultimate weapons, testing Raizo before the final clash.
?? Phase Four: Raizo’s Doom
- By the time the final battle arrived, Raizo wouldn’t be at full strength.
- Ryuketsu would unleash his final transformation, a form powered by the suffering of an entire universe.
- And this time, Infinity would not protect Raizo.
To ensure his success, Ryuketsu called upon an ancient force—something beyond gods, beyond demons.
He carved a sigil into his own chest, speaking an incantation that had not been spoken in a million years.
A voice echoed from the void.
"What do you seek, Ryuketsu?"
He grinned. "The destruction of Raizo."
The entity chuckled. "Then offer the price."
Ryuketsu did not hesitate.
With a single motion, he sacrificed half of his own soul, trading it for absolute power.
His body shook, his veins pulsed with a new, unstoppable force. His skin cracked, revealing glowing runes of destruction.
He had become something else.
Something beyond even the Demon King.
"Raizo," he whispered, staring into the abyss. "Your age is over. The Dangerous Age begins now."
And with that—the countdown to war had begun.
