As soon as the duel ended, Harry, Daphne, and Luna exged gnces, knowing it was time to make a swift exit. They didn’t o stick around for the aftermath; the look of shod anger on the face of the phenex family was something they did not wish to deal with.

  So with that group stood up and walked out of the arena, they sed they were out of view.

  “I don’t feel like killing eveyone so I say its high time we go tout of here.” Harry states

  The moment they were out of sight, Daphne sighed, brushing a hand through her hair. "Harry’s right. Hanging around any longer would be tempting fate," she said, gng over at him.

  "Agreed,” Luna nodded, gng back the way they came. “Phenex pride might be a bit much to ha this hour.”

  Daphne k on the ground, swiftly drawing a teleportation circle with practiced precision. Her hands moved smoothly, glowing lirag themselves into the stone. "New York should be just the right distance," she murmured, trating. "Ready to leave the Underworld and its headaches behind?”

  “The only headaches here are the ones we caused, I see why that pesky thing loves chaos so muow!” Luna announces with a mischievous grin, Luna pced her hand on the circle, her magic sparking as she activated it with a quick surge of energy. In an instant, a brilliant glow surrouhem, and the Underworld faded from sight, leaving behind only the cracks on the arena floor as evidence of their swift departure.

  When the light faded, they found themselves on a rooftop in New York City, the bustliropolis stretg out below them with its gleaming skyscrapers and busy streets. The distant sounds of honking cars and city life filled the air, a stark trast to the tense quiet of the Underworld.

  Daphook a deep breath, sav the ge of atmosphere. "Now this is a wele ge," she said, looking around. "And no irritated Phenex family in sight."

  “I don’t know about you two but its cold snowing, and I could go for some fired chi right now.” Harry states

  Luna and Daphne look at eachother before nodding and grabbiher of harry’s arms holding them to their chest. “Why dont you take us to a nice pce than husband.” Luna states

  Harry chuckled, feeling the warmth from both sides as Daphne and Luna held onto his arms. "Alright, alright," he said, trying to suppress a smile. "Let’s find somewhere that meets yh standards for fried chi, dies.”

  ========================Ba the Underworld, the aftermath of the duel left a storm of rumors, accusations, and e in its wake. The Phee, once a symbol of family pride and trol, was now in disarray. Ruval nursed his bruises, his pride more wouhan anything else, and gred at his family, whose disappoi alpable.

  Around the Pheerritory, nobles whispered with delight at the sdalous turn of events. Daphne’s defiance, her bold departure with her “vampire lover,” and Luna’s audacious challenge had sparked fasation and gossip among the aristocratic circles, many of whom reveled in the high drama.=========

  At the Maou’s cil chamber, Sirzechs and Grayfia were telling Serfall and Ajuka what had happened.

  In the grand cil chamber of the Maou, Sirzechs and Grayfia sat across from Serafall Leviathan and Ajuka Beelzebub, their expressions a mix of intrigue and amusement as they reted the events of the duel. The chamber, a vast room lined with dark, polished stone and dimly lit by a series of ented torches, carried an air of authority that only heightehe gravity of what Sirzechs was about to share.

  "To say it was ued would be an uatement," Sirzechs states finishing off the retelling.

  “Did you say her name was Luna? An she summoned a real moon into the fake sky?” Serfall asks

  Serafall’s eyes widened, her usual pyful demeanor repced by awe. “A real moon... Are you saying we have a vampire who manipute celestial forces in our midst? That's unheard of.” She paused, clearly intrigued. “And she’s not even one of the high-ranking devils?”

  Grayfia nodded, adding, “As far as we tell, she’s ninally from any known house here. Whatever her ins, her power— no, thats not possible it’s a fairy tale. Did she also have wings and a horn at any point? Maybe show that she wasnt inally a human?”

  Sirzechs paused, exging a look with Grayfia. "Actually," he began, "acc to my observations, she did show hints of something other than vampiric power. During the duel, there were brief moments where her appearance shifted—wings and a horn, almost ethereal in nature. It was as if she was eling an iething fn to our world."

  Serafall leaned forward, her eyes wide. “Alis… I’ve read about them in the oldest tomes, but I always thought it was just a myth. To think that one might actually exist in our realm. Her name was Luna, Ajuka you dont think?” She g Ajuka, who was listening ily.

  Sirzeodded. “It’s possible that the Phenex family’s mishandling of this duel will have sequences beyond just their status. It’s no longer a simple dispute over marriage proposals. They’ve put themselves at odds with what we think is an ali aH”

  Serfall and Ajuka sit ram rod straight.

  Ajuka’s usually posed face shifted as he processed Sirzechs' words. “Death itself, aligned with an ali? And both aligned with Daphne Crocell? This is no minor i. The Phenex family may have triggered something they 't tain.”

  “Yeah, he didn’t seem too too upset but if they go after him, well it would be best to call the Phenex family a loss.” Sirzechs answers======================

  As the st bites of fried chi disappeared, Harry leaned back with a satisfied sigh, patting his stomach. Daphne, smirking at his blissful expressio her gss down and looked at Luna, who seemed lost in thought, tapping her fingers rhythmically oable.

  "So," Daphne began, "we’re free, full, and far from the Underworld. What's ?"

  Luna’s eyes lit up with suddeement. “Oh, I have ahere is this really cool camp on Long Isnd I have always wao visit.”
