The clash between the hooded man and the monstrous figure intensified, as their claws clashed and their bodies contorted in an intricate dance of combat. Each blow landed with bone-shattering force, creating shockwaves that reverberated through the battleground. As they fought, the hooded man's cloak billowed around him, revealing glimpses of intricate tattoos etched across his body. The monstrous figure, on the other hand, had a menacing aura surrounding him, emanating raw power and darkness. Their battle echoed with a mix of guttural roars and grunts. Sparks flew as their claws clashed, creating a symphony of fury. The ground beneath them cracked and split from the sheer force of their attacks. Meanwhile, Scott and Derek continued their own battles against the horde of monsters.

Cerberus, the formidable multi-headed dog that stands guard at the gate of the underworld, is often regarded as the faithful hound of Hades, serving as his loyal pet," the hooded figure shared, his voice tinged with a mysterious air. The students, including Derek, were all present, their faces etched with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. Scott, his voice filled with anguish, couldn't help but ask the burning question that plagued his mind, "So, they were the ones responsible for the attack on my father?"The air grew heavy with anticipation as silence settled upon the group. Sarah, her voice laced with determination, spoke up, her eyes fixed on the hooded figure. "If that's the case, how do we go about defeating them?" Her question hung in the air, each person in the room waiting for an answer.The hooded figure paused for a moment, seemingly collecting his thoughts before responding. "Not just anyone can take on such a formidable task, my young friends. The power required to o

Before you read this chapter, let me tell you something. When the night covers the day and everywhere is dark, turn off all the lights. Let the darkness dominate, and only the creeping in of the full moon. Then, light a candle and place it in front of a mirror. Say these words three times: "Bloody Mary." Prepare yourself for what you may see, but don't attempt it, as that's what Annie did the night she disappeared. **** Today is Saturday, so there is no school. Peter stretches himself out of bed. The morning sun illuminates the room. The events of last night replay in his head—what a long night. Just then, his phone rings and it's Sandra."Hello, good morning," Peter greets."Morning, are you free this morning?" Sandra asks."Huh, yeah," he replies."Let's go out for a date then," she suggests. Peter, the happiest being on Earth right now, eagerly replies, "Oh yeah, yeah!" He quickly got ready, making sure to wear his best clothes and splash on some extra cologne. As a clumsy pers

The supreme demon sits atop his lofty throne, while his messenger stands solemnly before him, burdened by the failure of his assigned mission. The tasks bestowed upon him had been thwarted by a mere group of children. "They possess greater strength than we anticipated," he finally admits. Upon hearing this, an overwhelming rage consumes the demon, prompting him to rise from his seat and fix his intense gaze upon the messenger. The gaze alone paralyzes him, conveying the weighty implications behind it. "I... I will carry out your command, sir," he stammers, despite the demon's unspoken words resonating loudly through the silence. The messenger hastily departs, realizing that the time has come to summon the demon.As the final bell rings, the teacher exits the classroom, and the students pack up their belongings. Peter, who had been observing the newcomer Derek had attacked, periodically stole glances at him and his friend. Could Peter possibly be aware of their true nature? It seemed i

Kira abruptly opened her eyes, convinced that she had heard a whisper calling her name. Feeling drowsy, she got out of bed and walked toward the window, where the voice seemed to originate. Despite the darkness of midnight, she couldn't see anyone outside.Thinking she might have misheard, she turned to leave. But then, the voice whispered her name again, echoing throughout the room. Certain she hadn't imagined it, she quickly turned back to the window and saw a figure, obscured by the darkness. She wondered if it could be her friend, so she grabbed her phone and turned on the flashlight. The sight made her scream in terror.*****The day at school proceeded as usual, but Derek's uncharacteristic silence caught everyone's attention. After observing him closely, Peter remarked to James, "Derek seems so calm and collected now. I think what happened last time knocked some sense into him.""Maybe, but who knows what he's plotting? Let's just be cautious," James responded. As the class end
