Targon reason for going to the demon realm was to reduce the size of the demon invasion force. Targon would then use his powers to summon a gate that would lead to the demon world, at the top of the door was a passage in an unknown language but to Targon he knew what it says which was abandon all hope ye who enter here which the only thing that waits all who enter is despair and eternal pain just before he passed through the gate he would explain the layout of the demon realm which was the inspiration for Dante's inferno. The real layout of the demon realm was as follows the first three circles was where all lesser demons held residence, the forth, fifth and six circles was for the mid-tier demons which included vampires, the seventh and eighth circles was for all greater demons with the strongest of guarding the gates to the ninth circle which was Grogar's citadel. Targon would request that Victor accompany him to which Victor said he can't because what happened in Victor's past to which Targon states that one can out run their past forever and eventually one has to face the past no matter how painful which Targon understands better than anyone. Targon and Victor would then pass through the gate while Targon uses his power to create a window some everyone can see what is happening in the demon realm. Targon and Victor would enter the demon realm first circle then Targon would release a small pressure from his elemental powers combined with his demon powers which terrified the lesser demons, Targon and Victor would then head to the castle of the vampires where Victor would reunite with people he never thought he see again, as they both enter the castle at first they stoped by the castle guards but they would stand down after seeing Victor, the guards would escort Targon and Victor to meet the leader of the vampires who is called Marceline which surprised Victor because he was once one of Victor's retainers.

After all the vampires in the room took a sip of Targon's blood they all Targon has endure over the last five thousand years, they were able to see Targon's memories was because of an ability the vampires have that allows them to see the memories of people they had drank blood from. Once they realize that Targon is a Vampire Lord they all would stand down and allow them to pass to the seventh circle but warned them that the greater demons will be unreasonable and a female vampire named Asphodel would ask Targon that when he reaches the gate of the ninth circle to not kill a demon named Zeldros to which Targon would say he will try.

As Targon was about to enter Grogar's citadel the demonic royal guard tried to stop Targon but they failed. Targon would come face to face with Grogar. Grogar would be very different then his original form, Grogar's current form was bipedal but kept his ram legs, hand grasping hands, his horns had not change but his face was oni like. Grogar would demand to know why Targon is here to which Targon state he is here to keep from interfering with Stendhal war to which Grogar refuses at first but then Targon would make a bet with Grogar which was if Targon could beat Grogar with just one attack then Grogar would agree to stay out of Stendhal's war and if Targon lost he and his followers would do whatever Grogar wants. Grogar would agree to Targon's bet thus the two would ready themselves to win, Targon would suggest the single attack they should is an energy beam which Grogar agreed. The two would then fire two powerful beams toward each other. As the beams collided at first they seemed evenly match then Targon's beam was being pushed back, to those that known Targon better then any know he would not lose then they realize that Targon is fake it, at the last moment Targon put more power into his attack which was pushing Grogar's beam back while Grogar uses all the power he has to win but was not enough Targon would then mock Grogar by using only one hand for his beam then just three fingers in the shape of a pistol. Targon would win and send Grogar flying to the wall with his horns breaking off from the shockwave then Targon would state the difference between their powers.
