Orcus cleared his throat, his body trembling as he spoke. He knew that this might be his final moment, and he needed to make it count. "May-ergh... May I beg my Lord for a few moments of his time?" he asked, looking up at Archibald with a mixture of fear and determination in his eyes. "To bid farewell and, among other things..." he trailed off, unsure of how to proceed.

"Hrm... Even if it wasn't for a very long time, you were still kind enough to give Veronica the chance to say her final goodbyes in her own words. I appreciate that. Archibald's past vindictive temperament was inconsistent with the compassionate response he offered, which took everyone by surprise. Well, you're welcome. You battled extraordinarily well, just like Veronica of Greed did."

Orcus acknowledged Archibald's unexpected kindness and expressed his gratitude for giving Veronica the chance to say her final goodbyes in her own words.

He found it surprising that Archibald's past vindictive temperament was inconsistent with his current compassionate response.

Archibald reciprocated with a nod of acknowledgment and then gestured for the reluctant Lord of Lust to come down and talk to Orcus.

Although hesitant, Orcus complied with Archibald's request and waited patiently for the Lord of Lust to appear.

It took a while for the Lord of Lust to make an appearance, and Orcus made a feeble motion himself to encourage him to come down and talk.

The Lord of Lust, though young, was well aware of the decree that had been issued by the older Lord of Lust, which ordered Orcus to speak less and less.

However, the youthful Lord of Lust did not hesitate to overturn it, showing his compassion towards the defeated demon.

As he knelt down to talk to Orcus, the young Lord of Lust showed signs of sadness, which was evident in his eyes.

Orcus, who had just been defeated, was hesitant to speak freely to the Lord of Lust. However, he mustered up the courage to ask for permission to speak, addressing the Lord of Lust as "my noble Lord. May I have the order to talk freely!?"

"Of course," said the Lord of Lust, giving Orcus permission to speak freely. Orcus was grateful for the young Lord's understanding, especially given the decree that had been issued against him.

With his permission, Orcus began to open up and express himself, thanking the Lord of Lust for allowing Veronica to say her final goodbyes.

Orcus struggled to breathe, his throat constricted and his body wracked with pain. But despite his agony, he managed to unhook the pendant hanging around his neck and rolled it into a ball before handing it to the Lord of Lust.

His gratitude was palpable, as he choked out a raspy "Thank you" before taking a few moments to catch his breath.

The Lord of Lust looked at the pendant with a mixture of curiosity and recognition. "Ah, that is the necklace that belonged to my mother," he remarked, before turning his attention back to Orcus. "I ask that you comply with my requests in the future, as I am your Lord. And speaking of requests, I have one for you. Can you locate a demon with a scar in the shape of a star? If you find him, I ask that you bring him before the law, rather than taking matters into your own hands."

Orcus continued to cough up blood, his condition worsening by the minute. He struggled to speak, but managed to convey his understanding of the Lord of Lust's request. The pain was unbearable, and he knew that he was close to death.

Anne? What did you end up doing after we said our goodbyes?' It is thought for the last time. Orcus eventually shut his eyes, and with that, the Orcua came to an end.

As Orcus closed his eyes and passed away, the Lord of Lust was left speechless and uncertain how to react. He felt a sense of sadness at the loss of a fellow demon, but also knew that he needed to focus on the present situation.

He was aware that there was a dangerous adversary standing before him, and he knew that he would need to engage in combat with them.

The youthful Lord of Lust took a moment to compose himself before addressing his opponent. "It seems that fate has brought us together in this match," he said calmly. "I must warn you, however, that I will not hold back. I will fight with all my strength to ensure my victory."

The adversary, who had been silent up until this point, simply nodded in agreement. The two demons then stepped forward and began to circle each other, each one watching the other carefully for any signs of weakness.

The air was thick with tension as they prepared to engage in battle, both fully aware of the high stakes involved.

Alex, also known as the King of Lust, was not a stranger to feelings of anger and vengeance. He had only recently become acquainted with Orcus, who had always been a reserved and quiet demon.

Despite not knowing him well, Alex had heard of his reputation as the most devoted of all the members of the pillar. Orcus had been working tirelessly to purify himself of any permanent flaws.

Alex had been impressed with Orcus's dedication and work ethic, but now those feelings had been replaced by a burning desire for revenge. He couldn't shake the feeling of anger and betrayal that he felt after witnessing the death of Orcus.
