Back in the human realm Shiki, Melty and Natasha are Gathering in a Abandoned Building, Natasha is sitting on a old chair with her legs crossed she looks at Shiki and begins to stare her endlessly the mask on her belt floated up to the side of her face covered in black Tendrills as Mayker looked at Natasha saying "We have been here for 4 days and haven't done anything" Natasha tried to ignore Maykers voice. A loud banging sound started coming from Melty's direction. Massive sparks started to follow from the loud noise. Natasha walked over to Melty and saw her hammer red gems into her body. She grabbed Melty's shoulder and said, "What are you doing? Have you gone mad?" Melty laughed from Natasha question she put down the hammer and placed her sword onto the table, Melty looked at Natasha and said "These blood gems were created using my blood they are able to contain a large amount of magic within them" Natasha looked at her confused and said "Your insane" Melty laughed then placed more blood gems onto her sword and started hammering the gems into the blade. Natasha looked at shiki and said "How long are we going to stay here and do nothing, I thought we was going to go to the Underworld to meet nezha" Shiki turned and faced Natasha her fingers were covered in blood as she said "There's no need for that anymore he has already figured out that we are trying to open oblivion, but i think its time for me to do my grand trials" Natasha looked at her confused before saying "Grand Trials" Shiki smirked as she black magic crest appeared beneath her feet. Melty grabbed Natasha by the back of neck and pulled her away from shiki, Melty looked at Natasha then said "The grand trials is a set of three trails that will allow someone to evolve there grand spells into something far more powerful, only when someone has master a single grand spell they are able to do the grand trials" Natasha though to herself "i have never seen shiki use a grand spell though" the magic cycle on the ground started glowing purple as black light start to Engulfed shiki whole. Shortly after she vanished Natasha said "where did she go" Melty said "once the trial is complete she will return but if she fails the magical crest will vanish and she will die" Natasha and Melty both sat down and waited for shiki. Deep inside a dark space, Shiki feels a sinister aura emanating from within. She starts heading towards the centre of the space, but four long tentacles wrap around her legs and arms and drag her into the deepest part of the space. Shiki opened her eyes to find a giant octopus pulling her arms and legs tightly. Shiki began to feel a burning sensation throughout her body. She looked down and saw the tentacles on fire. Shiki tried to use her magic, but it felt like her magic was being cut off. She looked directly at the octopus as it was about to rip her apart. Shiki took a deep breath as her black Aura started to cover her whole body. The octopus tightened its grip, but then Shiki grabbed the tentacles wrapped around her arms and ripped them off. Shiki smiled as she said, "I get it, this trial is to see if I'm able to endure and contain my power even if I'm under attack." She swiftly grabbed the octopus by the head and crushed it. The black space turned bright white, and she walked back into the middle and saw a giant statue of a black dragon. There was writing on the statue that said, "Power is the greatest symbol of this world." Shiki was confused. She tried to summon E.N.D., but it didn't appear. However, she noticed that she was able to use her magic. Shiki fired multiple Black projectiles towards the statue, but it didn't even leave a scratch. Shiki tried multiple spells, but the result was the same. Shiki started to become frustrated as she started to charge up a massive spell a gigantic black orb appeared in front of her hand she grabbed it and crushed it, she fired a massive black beam that covered the whole statue this was one of shiki's grand spells called "mávri ávyssos" the dragon Statue was completely destroyed shiki was breathing heavily while she said "So you want a demonstration of power huh" the space around shiki change as she entered the final trial. She walked in the centre of the space this time it didn't change but She saw a black figure with her hands out the figure voice spoke in a Distorted tone "a sacrifice is required" shiki Sliced open her hand as blood started dripping onto the figures hands, she squeezed her arm tight as more blood rushed out the black figure closed one of its hand as it said "a greater sacrifice is required" shiki already knew what she had to give up she opened her hand and placed four black orbs into the figures hands shiki then said "I offer my remaining grand spells" the figure took the orbs then disappeared. The space began to crack as everything around Shiki flowed into her. Her whole body was engulfed in a massive amount of black magic. She quickly started to vanish. She returned to Melty and Natasha. Shiki appeared from the Grand trials. Melty walked up to Shiki and said, "Everything is ready. We just need the final two things," Shiki smiled as her wings burst out of her back. She said, "Melty, Natasha, head to the Nether Realm and obtain the river of dammed power." Melty opened a blood Portal to the Nether Realm as Natasha went through it. Melty followed behind. Shiki felt on top of the building as black magic began to emerge from her hand, and she said, "With this power I have obtained, everything should go smoothly." Shiki stood on top of the building, laughing endlessly.
