Aguile

Chen Rui uses the alias Agulie (阿古烈), also translated as Aguile or Guile, when engaging in infernal affairs, going undercover to infiltrate various secret organizations like Bloodfall, fighting criminals at night, and battling in the Arena so that he does not reveal his true identity. Agulie is the leader of the Cloak Gang. He wears a mask.

## Story

### Coliseum

*See also: Aguile vs. Lance*
As for today, Aguile was also a mysterious powerhouse.

At first, Aguile was simply a small fry who could barely participate in the lower rank of Intermediate Demon battles. After that, he slowly climbed the ranks. Within a short month, he defeated a total of three opponents, who were the early stage Intermediate Demon, “Bloody Hand” Lance, the middle stage Intermediate Demon, “Quick Wolf” Jesse and the strongest Intermediate Demon, “Balrog” Reka. Every battle was at a different level, and he was victorious in every battle. Nevertheless, his current opponent was Arux. There was a huge boundary between an Intermediate Demon and a Higher Demon. The difference in boundary was nothing like the difference in stage within the same level. Even if Aguile had defeated the strongest Intermediate Demon, Reka, it was still the same. It was impossible at all.

Not to mention, only a month had passed since Aguile defeated the Reka. In other words, when Aguile first started competing, he was one of the weakest among Intermediate Demons. After two short months, he was going to battle the strongest Higher Demon Arux.

The two month long War Contract turned him from a beginner Alkaid state Star Collector into the Star Leader that he was today. The enormous pressure served as his driving force at the same time.

### Seal

Agulie makes up the story that he has a 'seal' that constrains his powers and that he is training to break the seal.

No. 64 coldly said, “I’ve already lost the glory of my family and our family name. I once vowed to the Demon God that I will never take this mask off before I recover my deprived glory. Anyone who disrespects this oath is my enemies!”

The most important thing for the demons was the inheritance of their family. The demons who were deprived of their family names were, in a sense, crueler than death. Chen Rui’s reason was pretty demon-like. Generally speaking, the other party would not refuse.

“Loss of family name and glory…” A strange look flashed through Arux’s eyes, then he sneered with disdain, “You want to challenge me? Unfortunately, your current strength is pathetically weak. I only need a finger to completely eliminate you. You aren’t qualified for it!”

Chen Rui’s brain was thinking quickly. When he thought of the poison dragon being sealed, he suddenly had words, shook his head and said, “I’m being cast by a seal. My power and talent can only be awakened level by level through a life and death battle. That is the main reason I come to the arena! Although I am no match to you now, I can let that disdainful smile disappear from your face forever if you give me two months! If you dare not accept the challenge, you can kill me now and then uncover the mask from my corpse to satisfy your pathetic curiosity!”

### Agulie Beelzebub

Agulie fakes descent from Beelzebub using the God Devouring Mask, the royal artifact of Beelzebub. He is then called 'Agulie Beelzebub'.

Just as Chen Rui was passing a street, he was intrigued by the 2 demons chatting.

“Hey, haven’t you heard of recent news that Aguile of the Cloak Gang is the remnant of Beelzebub Royal Family. He was publicly wanted by Princess Royal before…”

“It’s impossible. Aguile is the biggest hero who defeated the Red Spirit Estate Army in the wilderness of Town Leith…”

“I don’t know. If it is true, isn’t the Cloak Gang a force of the Beelzebub Royal Family?”

“It is rumored that the Cloak Gang is now controlled by Princess Royal. Many members have already quitted…”

When Chen Rui heard this conversation, he frowned. “Aguile”‘s “Beelzebub” identity is only officially revealed in front of Joseph, but the Dark Moon City actually has such rumors, so there should be only 1 possibility.

Chen Rui was almost killed by Bridget when he was in Lupin Town of the Blue Lava Estate. He had no choice but to activate the God-Eating Mask’s [Demonic Flies Transformation] to escape the catastrophe. Bridget mistakenly believed that this secret technique belonged to the Beelzebub Royal Family. This could be the only way of the “news” leakage. Then this rumor should come from the Bloodfall.

### Cloak Gang

The Cloak Gang becomes the reserve Imperial forces for Dark Moon. After taking over Silva's estate and destroying the Gorefiend Gang of the Mellon Family, it becomes the most powerful economic force in the city. After Agulie and Arnoux defeat Lavat, Dominique of Blue Lava Estate and Lombardo of Mellon Family, the Mellon Family—once loyal to Joseph—becomes a vassal of Dark Moon and is forced to give up their estate to Paglio.[*Citation needed*]

## Quotes

Under the thunderous cheers, Chen Rui wasn’t happy at all. On the contrary, the moment of silence was him enduring the disgust and discomfort for covering in blood the first time. He kept reminding himself with determination, If there is any more cowardice or carelessness in the future battle, then the body that will fall to the ground will be mine!

At the moment after he raised both his hands, Chen Rui was completely integrated into the character of Aguile. He was also fully integrated into the Demon World where the strong was respected, and power was everything. In order to survive, and in order to control his own destiny, his brave heart that would never retreat would always be burning until the end of his life.

## Trivia

* The original Chinese 阿古烈 is spelled **Agulie** in pinyin. Some translators re-spell this as **Aguile** which makes it sound more French, Spanish, or Italian. Moreover, in English, 'guile' means crafty or cunning, which fits the duplicitous nature of Aguile as a disguise.
* In Chinese 阿 a is also used to denote closeness, so sometimes the name is translated as simply 'Guile'.
* 阿古烈 could also sound similar to the name 'Aguilar'
