Pillar 8's gonna be out tomorrow with the most recent issue of ZeroSum. It will have a colored cover, featuring the release of the first volume, which you should BUY NOW. xD But for in the meantime:To those impatient on what's going on in the current arc, here are some juicy spoilers! Huge thanks to an anonymous angel for the scans of the teaser images and Yukihito for providing to us the summary =DIt started off with the fiancee (Lamia) being really annoyed that Dantalion has been gone for a long time, and she is sure that he's cheating on her. So, the woman (Ashe) used her powers to check up on Dantalion and saw him with William. unfortunately, Lamia misunderstood that Dantalion is cheating on her with William and ran off to the human world.Later William gets a letter from Kevin, explaining that Kevin has gone to Egypt, because he might have found where William's uncle went. Then Dantalion appeared from nowhere, saying he can take William to Egypt if he wants to go. But William just wants the demons to go away and wonders if he is in a really long dream. Sitri and Dantalion asked if he was worrying about which one of them to choose, but William explains that he doesn't want to choose either of them because he doesn't believe in unscientific things. Isaac wants William to accept them, but William only thinks of them as a stupid stalker and a candy maniac.A random student asked William for his help with something and Isaac went along to help. They ended up in a strange, dark corridor with nobody else around. Lamia brought William to the demon world (along with Isaac), saying that she's going to test his powers. Sitri and Dantalion noticed the the door to their world had been opened, which worried them. They're both particularly concerned because that day happened to be the grand banquet marking the new moon.William and Isaac ended up in the demon world, just as a party is taking place. William tries to get Isaac to be quiet so that they wouldn’t be noticed, but the demons quickly caught onto the fact that they were humans and began chasing them.They reached a dead end and William touched a seal on the wall, which caused him to pass out. While he was passed out, he had a dream about Solomon and Lucifer. Lucifer asks Solomon to wait for him until he wakes up, 100 years later. However, Solomon explains that he won’t be around then and says goodbye to Lucifer.When William wakes up, Isaac tells him that they were rescued by Astaroth. William is excited to be in the demon world and starts asking Astaroth about the ranks in the demon world. She explains about the two types of demon (Nephilim and fallen angels). So William asked about Sitri and Astaroth said that Sitri is different because he was raised among demons. Isaac explains that Balberith (Sitri’s master) is the most influential person in the demon world and he favours Sitri, so that’s why Sitri’s rank is prince.Isaac is proud that he could remember all the 72 pillars, but William is just annoyed and thinks he should use his intelligence for tests. William is surprised to find out that Astaroth is a Nephilim when she says it’s she and the other Nephilim who are supportive of Dantalion becoming the substitute king. Astaroth asks William whether she remembers him because he’s the descendant of Solomon, but William just wants to go home and says he’s got nothing to do with this.Lamia suddenly appeared and said she won’t let him go home. She’s angry that William was using his position as elector to trick Dantalion, but William is just confused. Lamia says she won’t let William go home until he proves that he’s good enough to be the elector.William explained that it’s not like he wanted Dantalion around him and Astaroth says she already knows, but she’s still interested in him. Astaroth challenged William to tell her what her name was while she was still human. She gave him some clues about who she was, but William is unable to answer in time. Astaroth tells William to promise to choose Dantalion, otherwise she’ll take his soul.
