"Are you really going to do this?" Morgana questioned upon seeing Dante beginning to take hold of the cube. Several hours had passed, and various preparations had been made to keep everything stable for Valentina''s return. This consisted solely of Morgana, Kaalindra, and Dante facing the monster recently awakened.


    "We don''t have much time," Dante said. He hadn''t yet disclosed the timeframe they had until whatever was to happen urred, nor the demonic wars starting in Hell. Dante needed his greatest strength by his side, and that was Valentina, his beloved first wife.


    "Call your mother, Morgana, I know she''s watching," Dante said, and Morgana nodded. "Hey, you witch, show yourself. I know you''re here," she said, and from a portal, Alice Arcano emerged...


    Her almost translucent white hair and a purple-ck dress hovered in the air as if it were an extension of her body. The sunlight hit her body, forming a beautiful work of art. Dante, however, wasn''t much in the mood to be admiring the body of ady as beautiful as her; he had things to attend to, and that meant nothing mattered except Valentina.


    "It''s good to see you''re alive," Alicemented. Dante, however, didn''t have much to say. "Free her soon," he said, without any conversation, quick and straight, which sounded...


    "Tsk, arrogant," Alice said upon seeing Dante''s and Morgana''s faces looking at her without any respect. At the same time, Kaalindra appeared between the two, emerging from the mes like...


    "So, you can do that too..." Dante murmured. After all, he was convinced that only he and Valentina could use that technique... It seems he was wrong.


    "Who do you think helped her develop that technique?" Kaalindramented, and Dante was left speechless. "Enough nonsense," they heard from Alice, who descended near them.


    They were flying at an extremely high altitude to avoid damaging the ground. However, was this enough? Dante was genuinely concerned, but he already knew he would have to fight against that...


    "Excalibur," Dantemented, and the demonic sword materialized in his hands. Unlike the Holy Sword Alice knew, this one was... Pure Evil. "Evangeline," he said. If there were truly going to be a fight, having the entity of greed by his side, limiting Valentina''s power, would be the best choice. From the portal, the woman emerged, immediately bowing to her master.


    "At your service, my sovereign," she said.


    "You''ve got some interesting things in..." Alice murmured with a bit of greed in her eyes, and it wasn''t because of Evangeline. "Mother," Morgana called, diverting Alice''s attention from what she sought in Dante''s knowledge. "Spoil-sport."


    Alice was cold at this moment, unlike the loving mother who only wanted her daughter back; now she was the loving yet stern mother who didn''t ept a Demon King revived after ten years being alongside her daughter. After all, she was a protective mother and considered all witches her daughters...


    "Let''s see how this ys out," she muttered to herself mentally. "Do you really want this?" Alice asked, looking directly into Dante''s eyes. "Just do it," he ordered, without even blinking.


    "You asked for it," Alicemented and disappeared, causing the cube to start floating and spinning uncontrobly... "Tsk, she fled," Morganamented.


    "She doesn''t matter, what matters..." Dante said, looking at the enormous portal that began to emerge from the cube, as if the whole world was starting to turn ck... In the distance, the girls were...


    "That aura..." Velryna said, trembling. After all, it was the first time she felt something like that. The same went for Vex and Aldria...


    "It''s her," Saramented as she looked at the skies turningpletely dark... "It seems that monster ising back," Nagasawa said. She, after Morgana, was the one who knew Valentina''s aura the most, having personally felt it a few times before going to the East.


    "That... is... a Vampire?" Voralith questioned beside Eldrax. She wanted to go there to help somehow, but... she was weak. "She''s not just any vampire," Saramented, aligning herself with them.


    "That''s the strongest Vampire in the world." As she finishedmenting about it... a rain of blood started falling from the skies, red lightning began striking, and an unimaginable pressure descended from the heavens.


    A tremor so great shook the entire world.


    Entire Umbral trembled. Not just Umbral, Nightsphere, which was far away, began to shake. After all... Valentina was no longer just an ordinary vampire...


    "I should''ve known something like this would happen," d said upon seeing the three moons forming a great eclipse. "Has she broken the limit of her blood?" He questioned... "A legacy in..."


    Few knew what was really happening; even Valentina wasn''t aware of what she had just felt, but the skies didn''t reject her, on the contrary... It seemed like the was taking possession of her existence.


    It was indescribable, a sensation of chaos and madness, as if the evils of evil were being painted in the ck space of the skies.


    All eyesnded on that woman hovering in the air, with four ck wings like the veil of evil, eyes closed and cold as the existence of the end. Her skin was still pale, and her hair was even redder and livelier than before; her body was already filled with muscles that were nothing but a surprising addition to her beautiful sight.


    "The Key!" Kaalindra shouted; Dante quickly looked and saw something like a ck box beingpletely sucked into the hands of the untouchable Valentina.


    "I should have destroyed that, but since it''s here..." Valentina''s voice resonated throughout the world; everyone heard her voice the same way it happened with Dante earlier... She was... Awakening.


    From the box, an ancient ck crown flowed over her hands and began to be recreated from the woman''s own blood. "Return to my side," she said, and the crown floated over her head while from the portal, a phoenix nearly twenty meters tall emerged. "Igris..." Dante murmured.


    Everything fell silent for a few minutes, and finally. "A world without him doesn''t need to exist." When she uttered those words, Morgana appeared in front of her; Valentina seemed... like a different person. "Stop, Valentina." She was the first to speak as Valentina surveyed the area; unfortunately, nothing good came when she appeared in her path.


    FUSHK


    A single p was enough to send Morgana out of the world; a p so strong that it sent her out of the Earth''s atmosphere. "Damn..." Kaalindra muttered. "Young Master, prepare to fight." Kaalindra said as her legs and arms trembled.


    "Mistress! It''s me, Kaalindra!" She shouted, trying to get Valentina''s attention, but she was disconnected from the world; it was as if... she was just an empty shell.


    "Valentina? Who is this?" Valentina questioned... or rather. "I am the Mother of the Night," she replied, and soon...


    KABOOM!


    Kaalindra went flying away just like Morgana... The n waspletely destroyed; Morgana was the only one who could stop this, but she... was incapacitated so quickly? How was that possible? These were the questions Dante was asking... but he couldn''t stop now; she was one step away from him.


    "Who are you?" Valentina said, looking directly at Dante; unlike the other two, she didn''t attack directly; she just observed him first, because... she felt a lot of powering from that man. "Who are all of you?" Shemented again.


    "She doesn''t remember?" Dante wondered... "A negative effect due to the difference in dimension? No... it wouldn''t be so simple... perhaps..." Dante murmured, but his eyes were drawn to attention when he saw Igrising towards him as he glided. "Igris." Dantemented seeing the immense phoenix in front of him.


    "When the Dragon Empress left, I thought something had happened, and to think she used her existence to revive you, Little Dante." Shemented, but... "We don''t have much time, it seems she is still trapped in a dream." Igris said.


    "How do we stop this?" Dante quickly questioned, summoning Valentina''s Red Spear as well as Excalibur. "Make her remember you, or incapacitate her." Igrismented.


    "Tsk, how many years has it been since I faced that?" Dante questioned upon seeing the woman who seemed like a death goddess, wearing a ck dress that burned the tips in smoke. "It seems there''s no other way." Dante thought and with Valentina''s Spear, he merged with Excalibur...


    Dante''s eyes met Valentina''s for a second, and finally. Both teleported in mes for a great impact... An impact so great, it shook the world.


    As the battle between the strong began... It seems that our witch... is a bit...


    "Why did you run away from the battle?" Alice questioned; Morgana, however, sitting in a cross-legged chair and eating popcorn, replied: "Let him deal with it, it''s his punishment for having so many women, right?" She offered the popcorn bucket...


    "Tsk, you''re bing more like me." Alice said, conjuring a chair and sitting beside her daughter, thus also grabbing some popcorn. "Do you think he stands a chance?" She asked, "Yes, many chances to die hahaha".
