After a lot of talking, Corvus had all the information he needed. Silverwing had an ability that lets him create anything out of silver. It is useful for a little kid. His parents left him because they wanted him to get used to nature. Corvus silently listened to Silverwing. He ruffles Silverwing's grey hair. ''I will be your father,'' Corvus chuckles. Silverwing looks at him with disbelief in his eyes. Silverwing then smiles. ''He's so innocent... I will make sure he stays alive,'' Corvus thought. They head to two more forests until they spot a dead fox on the ground. Silverwing crouches down to see the fox better. ''Oh... Can we save him?'' Silverwing asks, his eyes almost tearing up. Corvus gets startled by Silverwing's eyes. ''Eh... I am afraid no-,'' he gets cut off by tears streaming down Silverwing's eyes. Silverwing looks at him with puppy eyes. ''Please... Save him...'' he pleads. Corvus sighs. ''What an innocent heart you have, Silverwing. Is it okay if I call you Silver?'' Corvus asks as Silverwing quickly nods. Corvus crouches down. ''Blessed Reincarnation!'' he yells! Dark red aura comes from his hands, going into the fox's mouth. After some minutes, the aura stopped flowing out and the fox started breathing again, his wounds disappeared. Silverwing smiles again. ''Thank you!!!'' Silverwing yells while he wraps his little arms around Corvus. Corvus' eyes widen but he quickly relaxes. ''No problem, anything for you!'' he says while stroking Silverwing's hair. The fox had ran away after looking at them... It was peaceful here, not like the cursed society they lived in.
After an hour of walking, they found an abandoned house in the Keiko Forest, a place no one dared to enter, loomed with an air of foreboding that sent chills down anyone's spine. The towering trees, their bark dark and gnarled, seemed to twist and reach out like skeletal fingers. A perpetual fog clung to the forest floor, obscuring what lay beneath and adding to its sinister reputation. It was said that Nocturnes frequently gathered here, his movements blending with the shadows, making him almost impossible to spot. Lauren and Arnold, known figures, were often seen among them, their presence adding an ominous weight to the forest's dark legend. Strange whispers echoed through the dense woods, leaving visitors questioning whether they were merely the wind or something more sinister lurking within. ''What are you looking for?'' Silverwing asks. ''An item used for... devils,'' Corvus replies. ''Oh, a suit? A potion? A book full of magic spells?'' Silverwing asks. ''I'm not sure, Silver,'' Corvus answers. They get into the abandoned house. It's dark, so Silverwing takes out a lucifer and lights it up using the side of the box. The house had many rooms, but... There were chairs everywhere, knives, guns, and broken plates. ''Get on my back, Silver,'' Corvus commands. Silver jumps on Corvus' back. After 8 minutes of searching, they found a chest. It was locked... ''Oh... Damnit...'' Corvus says. ''I can do it!!!'' Silverwing yells. He gets off Corvus' back and puts his hands close to each other. ''Mimic Key!'' he yells. A silver key appears that fits right in. 'You're amazing, Silver!'' Corvus says, praising Silverwing. Silverwing's eyes shine. 'Thanks...'' he says, looking away. The chest opens, there were... Books? ''I took all this time just to find books,'' Corvus says, in a annoyed tone. Silverwing crouches and takes a red book. ''This looks like an information book...'' Silverwing says, while inspecting the red book. There was written ''3 ways to kill'' on it. ''Wait, isn't this the book that got banned because a devil wrote it...?'' Silverwing asks. He looks at the books. ''3 ways to destroy'', ''3 ways to kill'', ''3 ways to hide'' and ''3 ways to ambush''. ''We should inform the auth-...'' Silverwing pauses mid-sentence. ''Never mind. They're not going to do anything anyways... They just slack off thinking that they are the strongest. It might come to use too! But why are you looking for them?'' he says after. Corvus looks at him and smiles. ''Because... I'm a devil,'' he answers. Silverwing's eyes widen, but he quickly regains his composure ''Everything will be fine. As long as I'm here,'' Corvus says as he ruffles Silverwing's hair. Silverwing nods. ''As long as you're here...''
Corvus and Silverwing headed back to Taehyun's house. The books were in Corvus' backpack. It was 9 am, according to Corvus' watch. He knocks on the door, the loud knocks echoing through the silent morning. They hear nothing for a few moments until some loud footsteps can be heard from inside the house. The door opens a bit, and some glowing blue eyes look outside. Corvus and Silverwing feel the chills in their spine. Taehyun opens the door. Taehyun: ''I was already wondering where you went...'' Taehyun says while looking at Corvus and then looks at Silverwing. ''Hello there, who might you be?'' Taehyun asks. Silverwing looks down, not daring to make eye contact with a stranger. ''He's my ally, Silverwing. Please let him stay here with me... No, us'' Corvus says, without hesitation. Taehyun nods and opens the door wide. Corvus shoves Silverwing into the house. Taehyun chuckles. ''Want me to make a quick late-night snack or do you two want to go to sleep now?'' he asks. Corvus looks at Silverwing and he nods. Corvus: ''A late-night snack would be appreciated.'' Silverwing sits on the couch, his face buried in his knees. Corvus puts a hand on Silverwing's shoulder. ''It will be fine; you are safe here,'' he says. Silverwing shakes his head. ''The authorities... I wish they didn't exist,'' Silverwing whispers. Corvus looks at him. Corvus did want to be with Silverwing forever, an innocent soul who can shine as bright as the sun... He is like a brother. ''I promise on my life I will always protect him! I promise I will change the world,'' Corvus thinks, full of confidence. ''It's okay. We will take care of it. I promise to change the world, then we can live in peace,'' he says, reassuring Silverwing. Silverwing nods and then Taehyun comes with two bowls with snacks in it and two sodas. ''Enjoy and go to sleep after,'' Taehyun says and leaves. When Taehyun leaves, Corvus gets the books out of his backpack. The one that catches Corvus' attention the most is '3 ways to destroy'. ''Silver, I bet you can't win against me in a pillow fight!'' he shouts, daring Silverwing to do it. Silverwing stands up, grabs a pillow from the couch and throws it at Corvus. ''And I bet that you will not even hit me a single time!'' he reflects Corvus' sentence. Corvus grunts and tries to grab another pillow, but Silverwing snatches it away. ''Nothing is faster than my speed!'' he says, full of pride. ''We'll see about that!'' he says, daring Silverwing to hit him even more. Silverwing throws but misses... Corvus laughs, suddenly Taehyun comes back. ''What a drama... I can't even finish my work!'' he says, sighing. Silverwing and Corvus look at each other and nod while giggling. ''The barrage of pillows to intruders!'' they yell at the same time. Corvus holds Taehyun still while Silverwing takes the biggest pillow he sees, holds it in front of him and jumps on Taehyun. Taehyun yells to get him off. A barrier forms around Silverwing and Corvus while they are crying out of laughter on the ground. Their eyes widen. Taehyun says: ''You both are on time out! If you laugh or look at each other an hour comes by!'' He was clearly mad. Corvus looks at Silverwing, who is holding in his laugh. Taehyun did not notice. After an hour, he deactivates his barrier, setting them free. ''Now eat up. If I hear a single pillow falling, be ready,'' he says while walking away. ''I'll go bring my backpack, I will be back!'' When Corvus goes into his new room, he closes the door. He gets all the books out of his backpack. "3 ways to hide' suddenly glows, catching his attention. He opens it. A lot of blue light shines while he opens the book. Corvus looks away and quickly closes the book. ''What was that...'' he says, clearly shocked. Silverwing was still waiting for him. Corvus takes the books and puts them on the bookshelf which was above his desk. He looks at his bed... It's not even made up. He quickly makes his room neat and heads back but... Silverwing is not there anymore. The cup with soda is on the ground. ''I am ba-...'' Corvus says but then... the window was broken, glass on the floor. ''What happened...!!!'' he thinks, panicking. Silverwing's kunai knife was still on the table... He takes it and jumps out of the window. He lands on his shoulder. His shoulder is broken, but he does not yell out of pain. ''Arnold... Tell me where Silverwing is,'' Corvus orders. A crimson red soul appears behind Corvus. It was a tall figure; that person was Arnold. He was grinning, clearly enjoying Corvus' bossy side. ''C'mon, do not act like that to your old man~...'' he says. Arnold points in the direction of the Nara Forest and disappears. ''What would Silver do there...?'' Corvus wonders as he walks into the forest. When he stepped into the forest, the sight was overwhelming. The air was heavy with the metallic scent of blood, and the ground was littered with lifeless bodies, some partially decomposed, others more recent. Tattered clothing clung to the corpses, hinting at the lives they once lived, now silenced. The silence of the forest was eerie, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves in the cold wind. Flies and other insects hovered over the remains, the only sign of life in this haunting place. Scattered belongings, like shoes, bags, and broken tools, lay among the bodies, telling fragmented stories of their desperate final moments. ''It smells like rotten eggs and bread...'' Corvus says in disgust. ''What happened here...'' Corvus thinks, while following the corpses' way. Suddenly it led to a chair. The back of the chair was facing Corvus. To his surprise, Corvus sees Fianna, the 'queen' of the authorities. She is the strongest in the country, having an art ability. Anything she draws turns into reality. On her lap was Silverwing but... his eyes were gray. Silverwing looks at him confused. ''Villain villain...'' he mumbles. Corvus: 'H-hey Silver... What's up...?''. ''Villains die...'' Silverwing continues mumbling. Fianna smiles at Silverwing. ''Right!'' she says as she stands up, her long hime cut framing her face perfectly. She looks at Corvus with her cold green eyes, a stark contrast to hate. ''Silverwing we are allies ri-...'' Corvus stops speaking like a dark circle form around him. He sees Dante grinning with his errand-boys. ''I knew it, Her Majesty. He even has the marks!'' Dante says, while pointing at Corvus' neck. Corvus looks shocked at Dante and tries to find a way to get out of the forest. ''Oh my, Elmir, go ahead, kill him,'' Fianna orders, smirking. Silverwing moves towards Corvus. Suddenly, Silverwing punches Corvus in the stomach. Corvus yelps, while Dante and his errand-boys are laughing. A tear rolls down Silverwing's cheek. As if he was being forced to do something... Corvus notices T-Ray in the tree. He is a superhero and has a mind-controlling ability. Fianna chuckles. T-Ray controlled Silverwing... Silverwing... Silverwing... My trustworthy friend... 'SILVER, STOP IT. DONT DO IT IF YOU DONT WANT TO, SILVER,'' Corvus yells. Silverwing pauses for a moment. Fianna: ''What are you doing? Kill him already!'' T-Ray gives Fianna a piece of paper and she starts drawing. Her eyes are glowing. She is drawing a lot of heroes who had died... In which he sees... Arnold.
Elijah, a hero who had died to execution before Fianna was the queen, appears in front of Corvus. Some other heroes; Arnold, Mujika, Sonya, Erza, Yuro and Noriaki appeared after Elijah did. They were the strongest heroes, Mujika and Sonya were twins but had different abilities. Mujika has Dark while Sonya has Light. It lets her create anything out of light, the same goes for Mujika, but with dark. Arnold has demon powers, but Fianna doesn't know, at this moment, his power is animal instinct. Yuro has acid, it lets him melt anything with acid. Erza can make fires appear everywhere. The fire is hotter than hell's fire. Noriaki can create deadly weapons in the blink of an eye.

Mujika and Sonya: ''I feel bad! We must kill a little kid. Interesting!'' they say at the same time, clearly a bit overexcited. Mujika and Sonya look around, until they spot Fianna. ''Her majesty!!! How have you been!'' they say as they both kneel formally. Fianna nods in acknowledgement. ''Elmir, c'mon. He means nothing to you, right? He is ruining society... He killed your parents! Don't you want to take revenge for them?'' she asks, trying to manipulate Silverwing's innocent soul. Silverwing looks at her and nods. ''Father... Mother... Let me avenge you...'' he mumbles. Corvus' eyes widen... This isn't the Silverwing he knows. ''Why does every fun end so fast? God, what are you planning,'' he thinks. Corvus looks up to the clouds, before he can react, Yuro launches a bomb made of acid on Corvus. The explosion made his face burn, Corvus coughs out blood. ''W-what...'' he says, trembling. Yuro looks at Erza and nods. Noriaki creates a bow which you could shoot 5 arrows at a time with and hands it to Erza. She gets the arrows off her back and takes 5 of them... ''Hell's ashes...'' she yells, her voice clear and firm. The bow and arrows light up and the arrows go at Corvus with great speed. ''DIE IN HELL!!!'' Erza yells. Corvus dodges it but... two of the arrows suddenly curve in his direction. One of the arrows hit his shoulder, while the other one hit the side of his ear. ''Damnit...'' he thought. He quickly pulls them out, even if he knows he's taking a risk. Mujika climbs up a tree. ''Void's Trap...'' she mumbles, creating black orbs... She points at Corvus, as the orbs suddenly launch at him, but they stop midway. They form a cube and trap Corvus in it. Corvus suddenly falls onto the ground, now kneeling. He is just getting smashed onto the ground, harder than ever, then spikes appear from inside the cube, stabbing Corvus... The cube and spikes disappear after a few seconds. Corvus was fully covered in blood. Sonya grins widely and walks to Corvus. ''I will kill you, no matter the cost!'' she yells, full of hatred. She holds her finger up... 'I am the strongest, after all. Give it up,'' she says, full of confidence. ''Unyielding light!!!'' Sonya yells, creating swords of light behind her. In the middle, there is a very bright light that looks like a star. Corvus squints in his eyes, not wanting to be blinded. Suddenly, Elijah dashes forward and punches Corvus right in the face. Corvus stumbles and falls on the ground, helpless. The swords keep growing, and then... They get pulled by the star as it grows. Sonya shrinks the star and points at Corvus' head. The star slowly goes into his left eye... Corvus screams out of pain, he can't see much out of his left eye. Elijah: ''Don't turn a blind eye to every possibility''' Elijah smiles. The smile was... Half genuine, half fake. Elijah looks around, his smile fades. ''And here I am, being curious about why we're fighting a little kid. Could anyone explain?'' he asks. Fianna grits her teeth and stands up from her chair. ''Who are you to ask at this moment! Just finish him off, useless man!'' she yells, clearly annoyed by his behavior. Elijah backs off a bit, standing in front of Corvus. ''In that case, instead of finishing him off... I will help him!'' Elijah says while smiling. This one was so genuine... Elijah turns to Corvus and reaches his hand out. ''Elijah Arukay, pleased to help!'' he says while smiling, his brown eyes shining. Corvus hesitates for a moment, but gives in. He gives Elijah's hand a firm shake, as Elijah pulls him up. ''Let's do this, mate!'' he yells, shining more than anyone. ''Elijah... HOW DARE YOU?! He is a devil; he must be killed. You are a devil worshipper, aren't you?! Kill both of them, now!'' Fianna yells, her face red. Silverwing suddenly walks to Fianna and kneels. T-Ray is still controlling him... ''Erza, come here,'' Fianna orders, glaring daggers at Erza. ''Burn this useless kid... Or even better, kill him,'' she says, pointing at Silverwing, who is still kneeling. Erza nods and walks toward Silverwing. ''Hellfire's Impact!'' she yells, fire surrounding her fist. The flames grow bigger and hotter with each passing second. She raises her fist high, her ginger-colored hair whipping upwards in the heat. ''DIE!!!'' she screams, slamming her fiery fist into Silverwing's face. Silverwing collapses onto the grass, his face turned to the side. Blood trickles from his mouth, staining the grass red. Elijah watches in horror as Silverwing lies motionless on the ground. ''What do you think you're doing, Erza?! It's just a little kid!'' Elijah shouts, his brown eyes blazing with fury. He turns back to look at Corvus, but the only thing he sees is a dark circle radiating a demonic aura...
''Where am I... I feel so dizzy... What happened to Silver...?'' Corvus says. The last thing he saw was Silver falling on the ground. Everything around him was pitch black. His voice echoes through the darkness. ''You're here,'' a loud voice said. ''Silverwing is dead. There's no way to revive him. Your only choice is to avenge him, Corvus. Kill. Kill them all. Trust me and kill. Do not hesitate, just kill,'' the voice said. Something opened in Corvus, a dark place, right in his heart. He runs his hand through his hair and smirks. His eyes shine full of bloodlust. ''I have no time to be emotional. Kill,'' Corvus repeated. Corvus begins to change, his body trembling as an ominous energy engulfs him. His skin darkens to a deep crimson, glowing faintly as cracks of fiery light streak across it like molten lava. His teeth elongate into razor-sharp fangs, perfect for a predator. A black horn spirals out from the left side of his head, jagged and menacing, while a second, smaller horn begins to form on the right. From his back, red, leathery wings burst forth, their edges jagged and glowing faintly like embers. His fingers grow longer, claws emerging where nails once were. Shadows swirl around his form, adding to his terrifying presence. Finally, his eyes glow a piercing yellow, blazing with demonic fury. Tears escape from his right eye, the bright contrast against his monstrous visage. ''Let me avenge you, Silver,'' Corvus says, his voice deep and distorted, carrying both sorrow and wrath. A single tear slides down his yellow demon eye, leaving a faint trail of steam against his heated skin.

Several minutes later, Elijah sees the dark circle fading. Corvus' demon form appears, his wings widespread. Corvus was looking at Silverwing. He lets himself fall on the ground. ''You're on my nerves, humans,'' he growls. Before Noriaki can react, Elijah hits him with his Godspeed ability. ''Have a taste of my god speed barrage!'' he yells. In the blink of an eye, Noriaki falls on the ground, mumbling something. His nose starts bleeding, his hand is gripping his arm. He grunts in pain. Yuro quickly runs to him. ''Are you okay? "Ugh you... traitor!!!'' he yells at Elijah. Elijah smiles at him and waves, clearly trying to piss him off. Elijah carries Silverwing in bride-style and lays him down behind Corvus. Corvus watches as his brother-like friend gets put down. Corvus brushes a leaf off Silverwing's face. ''I said I promise to keep you safe... Sorry... I could not...'' he says, tears of blood streaming down from his eyes. Elijah kneels to Corvus' height and wipes his tears away. ''I can... Revive. Go fight first, that comes later,'' Elijah said, reassuring him. Elijah ruffles Corvus' hair and smiles. Corvus stands up, so does Elijah. Corvus creates a dark circle around Silverwing, wanting to defend him even while fighting. It clearly shows how much he cares about his 'brother'.
Elijah rushes to Yuro, before Yuro can move, he quickly makes an acid shield. Elijah stopped his fist midway, not wanting to melt. ''What a narrow space, scary!'' he says in a sarcastic tone. Yuro grits his teeth. Suddenly, Arnold jumps in and pushes Elijah away. ''Don't even touch him, worthless fool,'' Arnold says, being overprotective. Arnold uses lion claws and scratches Elijah on his stomach. The mark of three parallel claws on his stomach. His shirt ripped off a bit. ''My costume, no!!!'' he says with a look of concern in his eyes. Arnold yells: ''Secret technique... Elephant's Anger!'' An elephant appears and slams his trunk on Elijah. Elijah manages to dash backwards but... His leg is stuck under the trunk. ''AAARRRGHHHH!!!'' he yells, trying to free his leg. Corvus walks to Elijah, his aura terrifying. There were black spider legs around his wings. ''Leave him alone, deal with me,'' Corvus says, his voice filled with anger. The elephant looks at Corvus. Arnold here was the genuine hero... Before he was a demon. That's why he hit Elijah. He is an enemy to Corvus.
Corvus' mouth starts drooling... ''Human...'' he says, being too enthusiastic. Corvus looks at Silverwing. "You hurt him... So I'll hurt you,'' he says, full of anger and hate. Who even has the nerve to hurt Silverwing like that?! His eyes are burning, wanting to kill them all. "This world is cursed, and I'm here to fix that. Forever,'' he says, sure about it. Fianna has a scowl on her face. "What can YOU possibly do to me? You are nothing but a monster. Get it in your damned head already,'' she says, irritated. Corvus grins. ''Make me, if you can, ugly witch who can't do anything other than drawing,'' He says, trying to rage bait Fianna. Fianna breaks her pencil... "What did you say...?" she asks, giving him a death stare. "How did you not notice? Everyone suffers because of you. People like you,'' he points at Silverwing, "What did he ever do to you. He was innocent. Yet you hurt him. Society is suffering. You are the cause, I must get rid of you, whether it takes my life,'' he says, his voice clear and loud. Fianna takes another pencil and starts drawing. What was it this time...?
After a few minutes, while Elijah was fighting Yuro and Corvus supporting him, a dark dimension appeared around Corvus clearly made by Fianna. Elijah notices but before he can grab him away from it... Corvus disappears. ''NO!!! COME BACK!!!'' Elijah yells. Corvus vanishes in the dark place. ''How many have I lost... Silver... Even my own son. I am such a bad father...'' he says to himself. He bashes his head onto a tree with instinct. ''Damn it damn it damn it...!!!'' he says, disappointed in himself. Silverwing was smiling... He looked in the direction of Corvus' dark barrier. Silverwing is inside. What can I do at this moment? How can I be useful? I don't know. That's the problem. There is no solution. There wont be. This is the end. I want to die. Elijah takes Noriaki's kunai knife...
Again... What is this place? Corvus looks around. It was dark, just like back then. I feel like it is draining all my energy! Where's Silverwing...? ''HELLO?'' he says, his voice echoing. He hears someone breathing softly. The person did sound like he was suffering from something. Corvus walks towards the direction of the sound. Suddenly, he sees Silverwing laying there, blood all over his face. ''S-Silver... Is that really you... Are you okay?'' Corvus asks, a frown on his face. Silverwing's eyes were closed, his hand gripping his shirt. ''Hey Silver... Answer me!!!'' Corvus yells. He shakes Silverwing's lifeless body. ''Don't leave me like this...'' he says, blood streaming down from the ceiling of the place.
Silverwing finds himself buried deep in thoughts. ''Where are the others... I don't remember anything... Wait... Where's Corvus...?!'' he thinks. As the memories flood back into his mind,he quickly realizes how bad the situation is. ''He's fighting! I have to help him...! Please, body, move! Move...!!!'' he thinks, struggling to get out of his mind. He suddenly sees Fianna in front of him. ''Corvus is dead,'' she says. ''You can't help him, he's dead already. So, stop crying, it's annoying, you weak fool,'' she says. Silverwing's eyes widen.
