"Your three generals: Kuma, Dart, Lux and even your wings; common Azrael, I have taken everything that makes you a devil king, why don't you consider your pride and consede to me, I'll definitely make you my chief generals even without your wings." Sheon said as he watched Azrael walk towards him in a burning rage; his hand balled into a fist.
'Ah... I guess I have to bite down, this is gonna hurt a lot,' Sheon thought.
"How dare you Sheon!" Azrael's rage echoed as he threw a punch at Sheon which send him flying. He wasn't done yet and ran after Sheon before he landed and sent several series of punches at him.
It was a long hour of torture for Sheon. After Azrael had vented, Sheon's face was now pummeled.
...
"Sigh...to think that you would stand against me for my throne Sheon, what a bold move you made" Azrael said as he sighed in half-satisfaction, because nothing could get back his wings; a king without wings? What a mess indeed.
"Hmm?" Azrael hums in observation. "A devil with a golden black aura, I have never seen such before...tell me Sheon, where did you get those powers from?" He asked.
"I wud buf unforshunately I cash shpeak froperly. (I would but unfortunately I can't speak properly.)" Azrael stared at Sheon blankly, he did not expect to get the answer anyways but Sheon's next words caught him off guard.
"Twe!" Sheon spat out blood. "Ahh, that's better." He said as he wiped his mouth.
"My dear Azrael, let's be honest with each other, between the two of us, you know that you do not deserve to be a king, you are too weak for that position, but alas, you are our king.
Abyss has become a laughing stock because of how weak you are, you can't even challenge the other seven kings. We need a strong ruler like myself, not some pitiful, dishonorable dirt bag of a king..." Sheon paused. "A king without wings."
"Sigh...I'd never guess you'd want to talk me into making you king after you lost the real battle. I'm a devil Sheon, we are all dishonorable it's what we do, so stop overacting. It was such an amusing battle, but unfortunately I lost my wings, but if wings make one a king, everyone would be fighting for the throne right now. But not everyone is as daring as you." Azrael said and started to cast a magic spell with the little energy he regained.
"I'd like to do this again sometime but," Azrael continued "I must get rid of you. I have questions regarding the origin of your powers, but it won't matter anymore, I can gain powers greater than those." He finished casting the spell and looked at Sheon who had recognized the spell and said,
"Since you are of no use to me, I shall dispose of you properly." Azrael declares.
At the mention of that, Sheon's eyes widened.
"No, no, not, Abyss King's Just." Sheon muttered in shock to the spell Azrael had prepared. One could not get into Abyss, but the king of the abyss can seal devils in another realm and they would never be able to return to the abyss, this power is called the Abyss King's Just.
Sheon began fuming with anger, he looked Azrael dead in the eyes, with a serious expression, he says,
"I'd rather you killed me Azrael! Kill me this instant!" This statement did nothing but amuse Azrael as he smirked.
"But I feel this will be a very nice punishment for a maggot that dared to go head to head with me, besides if I killed you, you would just be reborn again." Azrael said.
"Then send me to the bottomless pit." Sheon suggested, that was the worst he could imagine happening to him, it was known as a place of no escape as you'd be falling for ever, but Sheon had a plan of escape, it was his back up plan in case he lost.
"Suggesting punishment for yourself now? Know your place Sheon. Falling for eternity is boring, I want you to suffer for all eternity, besides, you'd spend time playing with the sinful humans, it's a better place than the bottomless pit don't you think?"
This statement made Sheon feel helpless,"Earth? You're sealing me to earth?!"
"Amusing isn't it? You'd be in a world full of fragile humans and yet, you'd be so powerless to conquer them. Now, this is the proper way to destroy a devil. Destroy his pride." Azrael let out an evil laughter
"Hehe, haahahahaha!" Sheon lets out a frustrated laugh. He was laughing at his pitiful situation. "Here I thought I was going to become king." He muttered to himself then turned to glare at Azrael.
"You underestimate me Azrael. I'll make it back and then when I come for you, not even absorbing the whole of the Abyss will save you from my wrath...but don't worry," Sheon gives Azrael a gentle honest smile that slowly crept up into an evil smirk. "I shan't kill you. I'll make you entertain me for eternity."
"You talk too much Sheon and as it is, I'm exhausted to listen to your whining. I have heard you, and I shall readily await your return." Azrael said perfectly hiding his anxiousness.
"If you succeed, then I'll see you again and I'll crush you again." Azrael said and with a snap of his fingers Sheon's body starts to slowly dissipates into tiny particles.
Sheon's smirk had turned into a bitter smile, he was silent, and his eyes began to slowly loose the spark in them.
He was about to start all over in a world that recognizes his existence but not his presence. Loosing to Azrael was one thing, but, he did not in his widest dream see this coming, hell, he never considered loosing.
Just then, as his body was about to completely disappear, a thought came to his mind igniting the flame of hope back in his eyes.
'Ah... If I do things right I might be able to lift some restrictions and possess a human. I cannot exist in the human realm as Sheon but I can definitely possess a human, that will give me enough time to think of a way back. Then it's settled; my first cause of action should be finding a host.' As his face starts disappearing, he looks at Azrael with a wide grin, he isn't hopeless after all, he just found a silver lining.
"Get ready for round two Azrael. It won't be long." Sheon says before completely dissipating.
~Sigh~ Azrael heaves a long sigh as he fell on his back, facing the empty sky.
'Is he really going to find his way back? It would be troublesome if he does. But I guess he won't be causing trouble for the meantime.' Azrael thought.
"I will have to get stronger." He concludes.

Beside a tree in a busy street, tiny particles clusters in the air, forming a little above average sized snowflake. The snowflake floats around like it's in control of it's movement.
"So this is the human world huh? You pitiful creatures, rejoice for I have graced you with my presence!" Sheon said.
