WHILE KIYO IS OFF speaking with Empress La-tif and Alice is reattaching Lucifer's arms—after Kiyo cut them off. The others are training hard for the upcoming tournament.

"Luna, tell me what you know about Sage Dakotha." Asmodeus asked.
"She's considered the mother of incantations. Having created the concept and introduced it to the world centuries ago. Earning her the title of Sage."
"And do you know why incantations are no longer practiced in this day and age?"
"Not really. All I know is that it's considered outdated."
"Very well then. Come, follow me."
Asmodeus leaves his personal study with Luna trailing behind. He leads her to a training ground designed for spell casting.
Targets are set up on the left and right every twenty-five meters, — as far out as three hundred meters.
"Now to begin I want you to cast a fire ball spell."
Luna raises her staff, and points it at her desired target. "Fire Magic: Fire Ball!"
The fire ball — as big as a softball strikes the right twenty-five meter target dead center, destroying it.
"As you just demonstrated, that is the typical way of spell casting used nowadays. You were shown how to do it through visualization and then replicated it.
Now there is nothing wrong with it. However it lacks power. True power. Even if you were to reach top rank as a mage and your powers grow they'll still be lacking. So read this and try again."
Asmodeus snaps his fingers, materializing a grimoire, and hands it over, already open to the page Luna needs.
Holding the book open with her left hand, she aims her staff with her other hand and chants her spell—targeting the left side.
"By flames that fiercely rise. I summon fire to heed my call. With magic's might, I now decree, A blazing orb of fire, come to be! My will, aflame, now takes its stand, Unleashing fire, at my command! Fire Magic: Fire Ball!"
The size of the fireball is the same size, but its power is on another level. It blasts through the twenty-five meter target along with the fifty meter target, seventy-five meter target, and lastly the one hundred meter target.
It makes it to the one hundred and twenty-five meter target, slightly singeing it before petering out. A clear burn trail can be seen going from where Luna is standing all the way to the one hundred and twenty-five meter target.
"As you can see, incantations are far more powerful. However it takes time to invoke the spell, and the longer the incantation is the more time you'll need to cast it. And in the heat of battle that could be a costly mistake. There's also one more draw back to using incantations. Do you know what it is?"
"It takes a bit more mana when invoking incantations. So having a drawn out battle would prove to be a major hindrance."
"Very good, Miss. Luna."
"What happens if I can't complete the incantation because I said it wrong or an outside force prevents me from completing it then what?"
"Nothing. You'll lose whatever mana you had poured into the spell, but that is all."
"So how will this help me during the tournament?"
"You'll start by building up your mana reservoirs. Hmm… let's see, based on your current level I'd say three spells using incantations is your max."
"You can tell just by looking at me?"
"I can and given enough time and training you can too. Now moving along, I'll have you memorize every incantation for every spell that you know — including their sub counterparts. Speaking of, what elementals are you proficient with?"
"All of them." Luna replied.
"Even light and dark magic?"
"Yes. I have the rare skill: Yin and Yang."
Asmodeus then asked, "what's your combat style?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you use attack magic, defensive magic, or are you more of a support type?"
"Oh I see what you mean. Headmaster Red said I'm what's known as a 'jack of all trades master of none.'"
"Good to know. I now have a better understanding of what you are capable of, Miss. Luna. I can now devise an appropriate training regiment for you. You're entering the Team versus Team category correct?"
"Yes, alongside Leo and Lilly."
Asmodeus nods, "you'll want to start training with them both soon to ensure your team work is on point."
"Once Leo returns, we will."
"What incantation would you like to try next?"
"How about a lightning bolt attack, no wait, a hailstorm attack?"
"Why not both?"
"Can I?" Luna's eyes light up, clearly excited.
Asmodeus hands the grimoire back saying, "think about which spell you wish to cast."
Luna does as instructed. The grimoire's pages fly open to her desired spell. With staff raised Luna casts her spell.
"By thunder's might and stormy night I call upon the bolt's pure light. Descend from skies, oh electric force and strike with power, in a wondrous course. Lighting Magic: Lightning Bolt!"
A lightning bolt strikes the one hundred and twenty-five meter target on the right blowing it to smithereens. Luna immediately casts her next spell.
"Unleash the storm, for all to see. The hailstorm's roar, my magic makes, and all around, the tempest shakes. So let the hail, in fury fall, heed my call, one and all. Ice Magic: Hailstorm!"
Because this attack spell is considered an area of effect spell or AOE for short. Several targets and whatever else is in the vicinity gets taken out.
"That was…" Luna sways on her feet, and starts to fall backwards.
"Whoa there!" A strong set of hands grabs her by the shoulders.
"Huh!?"
"Over did it on the spell casting I see," said Leo."
"Oh, Leo, when did you get back?"
"A little while ago. I was wondering where everyone was when I saw a massive lightning bolt fall, so I came to check it out and saw that hailstorm attack. Nicely done by the way."
"Thanks Leo."
"We'll resume your training in an hour. So rest and recover until then."
"Understood."
"Leo, once Miss Luna has recovered her mana, would you please join me for some training of your own."
"You're Mammon correct?"
"Yes."
"Leo, I'm fine here. Go start your training."
"Only if you're sure."
"Yes. Now get going."

"Is that the best you can do?" Taunts Satan. "At least entertain me a little bit."
"Chain Binding!"
Lilly's black chain whip wraps itself around Satan—like a boa constrictor, pinning her arms to her side.
"Is this supposed to stop me?" Satan flexes and breaks the chains with ease.
"Tch!" Lilly clicks her tongue in annoyance. She throws down her busted chain whip.
"What, done already? It's no wonder your girlfriend died, you're so fucking weak you couldn't even avenge her after she was brutally rape and murdered."
Abby lets out a whistle.
Lilly smirks at Satan's derogatory remark.
"Did I say something amusing?"
"I recently had a chance to make amends and come to terms with what had happened to Dawn. If I hadn't, that remark you made would've set me off. I would've lashed out in a blind rage.
"And that's exactly what you wanted isn't it? You feed off of other people's anger or you could say their wrath. After all, wrath is one of the seven deadly sins, and your name sake."
Satan removes the sānjiégùn from around her neck, and starts spinning it above her head.
The sānjiégùn has many names. Such as: three-sectional staff, triple staff, three-part staff, three-section whip, sansetsukon, or coiling dragon staff.
Historically made of white oak, waxwood, or Chinese red maple, modern staves are constructed from rattan, bamboo, various hardwoods, or aluminum. They are connected by chains of rings, rope, or ball-and-socket joints.
Satan's sānjiégùn is made from a bone white metal known as Dlarun with each of the three sticks being zero point six meters long. These are connected by one hundred and thirty millimeter chains of rings.
"Let's see how well you handle the cold." As Satan spins her sānjiégùn, the temperature around them drops dramatically. A layer of frost spreads across the ground.
Lilly takes a cold breath in, holds it, and lets it out. "You call this cold? It's much colder in the Zinnia Mountains."
Lilly's silver cuff bracelets begin melting. The tendrils of the melted steel stop just short of touching the ground and start reshaping themselves into linked rings forming a chain. At the very end instead of a ring it's a hexagonal steel weight.
Once solidified, Lilly begins spinning the kusari-fundo in her right hand, leaving the other one hanging – ready to strike.
"You really love using chain weapons don't you?" Said Satan, "too bad I'll just break them like the last one. Ice Slash!"
Without breaking momentum Satan grabs one of the end sticks of her sānjiégùn, and lashes out with it. A blade of ice flies towards Lilly.
"Chain Shield!" Lilly blocks it with the spinning kusari-fundo in her right hand, and counter-attacks with the kusari-fundo in her left hand.
"Heavy Blow!" The hexagonal weight on the end of the chain grows to the size of a shot put ball.
Satan should've been out of its reach, but just like with Cosmo's monkey hammer the chain's length changes depending on how much mana is poured into it.
Lilly's attack forces Satan to block using both end sticks; she's knocked backwards a few meters.
"Impressive. I wasn't expecting that attack to have a knock-back effect. You also handle your kusari-fundo's like a pro. What rank are you?"
"Why do you care?"
"I can usually tell someone's rank just by looking at them. Abaddon and Kiyomaro are SS ranked, Luna and Leo are D ranked, and Alice and Corym are C ranked. But for some reason I couldn't tell what your rank is."
Lilly just shrugs, "you'll just have to beat me to find out."
"Don't get cocky you little shit. I may not know your rank, but I do know you're not on my level."
In her right hand Satan holds one of the ends sticks vertically, while holding the other end stick in her left, points it at Lilly.
"Ice Bullet Rapid Fire!" Satan fires off a multitude of ice shards at Lilly.
"Accelerate!" Utilizing her speed, Lilly dodges the attack. She keeps accelerating – running circles around Satan while attacking.
Satan with stands the attacks for a bit then gets board. She transforms her sānjiégùn into a Bo staff and slams the end of her weapon into the ground. "Omnidirectional Ice Wave!"
Waves of ice radiate in all directions.
"That's enough Satan. You win." Declares Abby.
"Where is she?"
"Frozen solid over there." Abby points to Lilly whose body is frozen mid-run.
****
"Haven't I been here before? When was that again?" Lilly looks left and then right taking in the familiar white void.
"Oh right, it was when I first went to the Zinnia Mountains, and developed altitude sickness. Next should be…"
Lilly waits for the cats to appear like last time, but they don't. Instead it's a woman wearing a cream colored close-fitted sleeveless, transparent kalasaris – adorned with jewelry, a golden silk sash tied at the waist. The woman's head is that of a lion.
Lilly goes to speak, but the woman holds up a finger indicating to wait.
****
Satan walks over to Lilly and taps her on the head with her sānjiégùn – unfreezing her.
Lilly shakes off the bits of ice. "Brrrr! That's a new kind of cold."
"Chilled ya to the bone did it?" Asked Abby.
"Just a bit."
"Go get warmed up and we'll continue your training later on."
"You're really gonna train me?" Lilly asked in amazement.
"I am." Replied Satan. "I find you interesting and I still haven't figured out your rank."
"I could always tell you my rank."
"No thanks. This is more entertaining for me."

Leo had followed Mammon into the woods.

"First let me explain to you what's going to happen. You will remain where you are and I will attack you from different places using my bow." Mammon materializes, a golden bow. "I want you to ascertain where I'm going to shoot from and block my shot before it hits you.

"What happens if you do hit me?" Leo asked.
"Don't worry, they'll be non-lethal shots."
Leo reluctantly agrees. Mammon nods and disappears. Leo ready's his flange mace and bronze shield.
Mammon's first shot is a head-on shot that grazes Leo's right shoulder. The next shot comes from Leo's left – he manages to deflect it with his shield.
Mammon fires three more arrows – two from above and one head-on. Leo blocks the two from above with his shield and smacks down the other with his flanged mace.
Mammon calls out from somewheres, "now that you're warmed up let's get started. Arrow Storm!" Dozens of arrows rain down on Leo.
Leo takes a knee making himself smaller — well as small as someone his size can be. Raising his bronze shield overhead he weathers the attack.
Mammon doesn't let up. "Accelerate! Precision Shot! Ricochet Shots!"
Leo tries his best to block them, but is soon overwhelmed. Although several arrows have penetrated his body none of them have hit any vital spots.
"I'm impressed. You've remained standing despite being unconscious from blood loss."
"I...mmm...naw...." Leo falls forward. Mammon catches him and gently lays him down.
"Time Dilation Field!"
Time Dilation Field: a field that slows time inside of it. The user can target specific subjects, including entities, powers, objects, concepts, etc.
"Alice, pull the arrows out one by one and heal him as you go." Ordered Belphegor, an open pocket watch in hand.
"The arrowheads are field points, so just pull them straight out." Said Mammon.
"Got it."
Mammon to Belphegor. "Didn't know you could manipulate time."
"Only with this pocket watch am I able to manipulate time."
"How long does it last?"
"An hour or until I close the watch."
"How big is the field?"
"Three meters."
"Won't the girl be affected?"
"If Alice didn't have a Space-Time Lock/Seal placed on her then yes."
Space-Time Lock/Seal: the user exists 'outside' of space and time and as such are immune to just about anything that would affect or harm them.
"Say Belphegor, why are you two using my homunculi?"
"While watching Alice train, I noticed her picking up on things at a rapid rate. So I left Lucifer to suffer for a bit in the infirmary, while I pulled these out of your storage room and explained to Alice that we would use them as part of her training."
"Fascinating. I never considered using them as training tools before. By channeling mana into its core and offering up, I'm gonna assume blood because I don't think Alice can produce semen, unless she's really a he."
"She's female."
Mammon continues, "the homunculi then transforms into an exact clone of you and Alice. But tell me, how will you transfer what the homunculi learns to Alice?"
"Oneiropathy." Replied Belphegor.
Oneiropathy: the psychic ability to communicate, receive information or manipulate the minds of others while unconscious or dreaming.
"You gave the Oneiropathy skill to the homunculi?"
"I did. This way even as she sleeps she's still training."
"Won't that overload her mind?"
"Maybe. I'm gonna start off slowly and see what happens."
"You do realize that if Abaddon finds out you're using her friends as guinea pigs she'll likely kill you."
"It'll be a nice nap."
"Before you take a dirt nap, tell me what else you took from my storage room."
"Nothing. I would've told you if I had. Why what's missing?"
"That's just it. I know something's missing and yet I can't recall what it is."
"Do you not keep detailed records of everything you create?"
"Of course I do. I've poured over them countless times. They match with what's in storage, and yet I feel like I'm still missing something."
