"Do you have any last words?" Daniel asked but never got a response as Riser lowered his head. "Then so be it."

As Daniel was about to deliver the killing blow the voice of a girl cried out. "Stop! Please don't hurt him!"

In a brief flash of flames a small girl appeared with her arms held out in front of Daniel, her eyes and hair colour matched Riser's own as she protected the older Devil. "Please I beg you, don't kill my brother."

Daniel silently glared back at the small girl, who done her best to act tough in front of him. After a few seconds, Daniel unsummoned Gáe Bolg from his hands as he sighed. "Be grateful you have a sister like her. Next time she won't be enough to save you." Daniel stated to Riser and turned his back on him.

"The match is over. Riser has lost by forfeit. His life has been spared due to a family request. Rias is now free from her marriage with Riser Phenex!" Daniel exclaimed out to all those watching as Rias and her supported either cheered or smiled.

(My Hero Academia OST: Mind of Evil)

But before they could celebrate, they witnessed Riser push his little sister out of the way and fire a point blank attack at Daniel. "DIE! PHENEX HELLFIRE OF DESTRUCTION!"

Noticing the attack at the last second, Daniel knew he couldn't dodge it. Nor could he summon Rho Aias in time. 'Shit.' He thought to himself as he done the only thing he could do to protect himself, overload his body with mana in hope that'll be enough along with protection rune.. And raise his arms up to try and protect himself.

As Sera watched on from the reception she along with the rest of the other Devils around her screamed out his name. "DANIEL!" As the flames engulfed his upper body as Riser poured everything he had into his final attack.

Once he had finally stopped the smoke rising from Daniel's body made everyone unable to see if he was still alive or not. But they were all shocked to hear that he was still breathing. It was clear he was in great deal of pain as his breathing sounded more like he was hissing. That and it was extremely heavy, almost laboured.

When they finally seen the shape his body was in, they gasped in horror. All the clothes above his waist had all been burnt away by the flames, but what shocked the older Devils in particular was the now clearly seen mark on his right forearm. Exposed for the entire Underworld to see.

But his physical body was now littered with deep and heavy third degree burn marks along with melted skin, but covering over those marks were small and thin lines that appeared like circuits. Their neon green glow littered Daniel's body. Small amounts of mana were even dripping out from the magic circuits. They could see he was gritting his teeth to help deal with the pain as he glared back at Riser with blood shot eyes.

'Fuck, this huuuuuurts!... He over powered the protection Rune.' Daniel thought to himself as he fought through the irrepressible pain his body was experiencing.

Slowly the burns began to heal as a rune over his left shoulder began to glow. However it appeared to be acting oddly. It was stopping and started irregularly. It was clear to the other Devils this wasn't meant to be the case.

"How are you still fucking alive!?" Riser asked out loud but never got a response.

"T... Trace... On!" Creating a single dagger, Daniel staggered over to Riser before slamming the dagger into the young Devil's chest. The young Devil screamed out in pain as lightning and demonic energy arced around were he was stabbed. "You're... Gonna... Pay... For that!"

After a minute, Riser's screamed stopped as Daniel pulled out the dagger. He tightly gripped his other hand. "There... Riser Phenex is now dead... I think I've... Delivered on my... Promise." Daniel stated out through his gritting teeth.

"What do you mean? I'm still alive!?" Riser pointed out.

"I offered you a chance to surrender... You turned it down... Your sister surrendered for you... And you attacked me from behind... Death was too good for you." Daniel stated out to Riser as he knelt down to him.

"So I done... The one thing that'll make every Devil... Fear me... That'll make the entire supernatural world... Fear me." Daniel growled out as he showed Riser what was in his other hand.

"And I done what should... Be impossible." Lifting it up for those watching to see as well, it was a King Chess piece. "I made you... Human."

"I'm/He's what?" Riser and his sister both asked at the same time as Daniel began laughing."You're another piece of human trash... Just like me." Daniel answered as he smirked. "This piece contains everything you've ever held dear... Your immortality... Your powers... Your peerage... Even your Devilhood."

(OST End)

"Death would've been too good... For someone like you." Daniel finished as he pocked the King Piece. "I'll be handing this over to the Four Satans... They'll be the one's to decide wither... You're fit enough to become a Devil ever again."

"Can I go now?" Daniel asked out loud. "I need help... And fast." Within a moment both Sera and Rias arrived in front of Daniel.

They both went to check on him but the moment they made any contact with him. His body heavily spasmed from the pain. He done his best to hold back his own scream, clamping his jaw tightly so no sound could escape. But as best as he tried to stay awake from the pain for any longer, he soon passed out in their arms.

(Monday 21st May - Morning)

It had been two whole days since Daniel had passed out after his fight with Riser. As he slowly opened his eyes he was thankful that his body was no longer in a great deal of pain, instead it now felt numb with barely enough strength to move. Looking down he noticed that his arms were covered in bandages. Taking a peak under the wraps he seen that his burn marks were recovering, but he didn't know if was due to Sera healing him or the Rune doing it's work.
