I opened my eyes slowly, my vision was a little blurry but I knew perfectly where I was since I''ve been here many times. I was in my mind. I slowly stood up and looked around, many Devils were wandering around, sometimes they would chant something and star moving again with a dejected expression tattooed on their faces. They didn''t seem to have noticed me but I couldn''t move immediately since my mind right now was the usual black space.


    From the look of it, they seem to be searching for something, I don''t know what but I can guess. The body, the mind, and the soul are linked, the body is just a hunk of material in which the soul is put, once the soul is put in the body a second carapace called the mind will form. While the body allows the soul to interact with physical matter, the mind if inside the body will simply be a space the soul can freely visit and take refuge into. But if the body disappears then the mind becomes a fake body that can only lightly manifest in the physical world, in other words, a ghost but if both the body and the mind disappear then the soul will become non-sentient and simply information but can still have thoughts.


    So if they are searching their King, whom certainly was one of my past incarnations so they must be searching for my soul to make his memories resurface, but since my soul has split I don''t know if they just need me or all the other. Of all of us, I am the least experimented in the mind since I''ve mostly lived in my body while they have lived in the mind since their "birth" if it is an accurate word for them. Well, I can''t say my searching for stronger enemies has been in vain but I think the difficulty has increased a little too much.


    I focused and tried to communicate with my other selves.


    |Guys, I need ya to come up with tha most confusing and biggest maze we''ve ever seen or thought of.|(Apocalypse)


    |Right on it.|(Dragon)


    |I want to smash those bastards.|(Tytan)


    |Some of those She-devils need a good whipping.|(Sophia)


    |Welp I guess I''ll use some of the ideas you had when you were in your edgy phase.|(Evan)


    I dare you to do that you little piece of crap, do you think you can handle my edginess ? Anyway, I guess it isn''t the time to joke about things like that right now. Suddenly the "ground" shook and strange light began to appear, tall dark tower rose and disgusting fleshy-looking walls were erected, to my right some kind of fluffy water started to float above my head and frenetically zig-zag about everywhere. The Devils started to get confused.


    |Who the hell has such a ridiculously twisted mind|(Devil)


    |I don''t know if it is better or worse than the mind of the Eldrich guardian we once fought.|(Devil)


    .... I don''t know who you are but I''m taking this insult personally you son of a whore. Okay, now that it has been done I can start a little hide-and-seek. I started running around the maze using my other selves to communicate where the Devils are. I don''t know how Evan and the other are escaping the Devils and still keeping an eye on them but I am very thankful to them because otherwise, I don''t know what I would have done.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent.

    Sometimes I would see some of them run through a corridor and then hear a faint howl of pain, I doubt the traps that have been laid in this maze can kill them but it is very funny to hear those ridiculous cry when you know they are at least more powerful than a regular Vermillion. After a while, I came across a red-skinned man who for some reason was rather blurry. I got on guard but I did not sense any aggressivity coming from him so I did not flee.


    I took a step forward and the man opened his eyes, I flinched a bit but did not run away.


    |You standing before me, this King salutes you, this is a recorded message. My name is Salem and I am an incubus as well as your previous incarnation. If you are seeing this it means Kugira has found you and is trying to revive me. Although my life ended abruptly and with many regrets it has ended and it should stay this way. It is up to you to decide whether to resist or give in to them but do know that we used to conquer worlds and as such they know things that could be your worst nightmare. A mad goddess used to help us in our conquest, I do not know how much time has past since then but if it is still the case then your chance of winning are naught.|(Salem)


    He stopped for a moment and looked at the ground.


    |But if by some miracle you win... I ask of you, please have mercy on them. I do not want them to be punished because of something I started. They ... they should go back to where they come from, The gods won''t forgive them but ... but they ... they could live the rest of their lives in a relative peace. Please, this King beg of you to show mercy.|(Salem)


    ... Well, that was unexpected ... but I don''t know what to do, I''m kinda in a stalemate right now.


    |Guys, any idea on how ta get out of this shit ?!|(Apocalypse)


    |We could all gather and try to beat them up until they finally leave your head and then once we awaken we could take their Queen as a hostage to make them leave. The only thing is that those guys are experienced in fighting in this kind of territory while us, not so much.|(Evan)


    Oh fuck it, I''m tired of hiding. I AM A VERMILLION !!


    |Destroy those walls, we are going to fight.|(Apocalypse)


    The wall and all the buildings disappeared, all around me were Devils on their butt or frantically looking around. I snapped my fingers and my other selves appeared next to me. Each of them was raging to go, especially Tytan. Without warning we all charged in different directions and started to fight with the dumbfound Devil, I say dumbfound but it only lasted for a few seconds and they soon started to fight back. It was unlike any other fight I got into, each time they struck me I would fly backwards while my fists dealt little to no damage to them.


    They soon started to over-power us and pushed us back but as soon as I could I grabbed Dragon''s tail and began flailing him around, knocking thos bastards down.


    |YYYUUuuuuuOOOOOuuuuuuuuOOOuuu BBBBaaaAAsTARRRRRRRddd !!! SSTTTttOOOOooPP TThhiIIISSSss !!!!|(Dragon)


    |He''s crazy, he''s beating us with his own soul !!! flee, retreat, abort mission we can''t afford his soul to get more damaged.|(Devil)


    They all started to fade away. It''s true that even though they struck me with a lot of power they did not harm me. Or at least I don''t feel it, but is my soul already damaged ? Is it because it has split to make Evan and the other ? I shouldn''t worry about that and instead worry about getting up.


    |Guys, send me back to the body.|(Apocalypse)


    |Right away bastard.|(Dragon)


    And with a flash of light I opened my eyes once again.
