Chapter 3

Dream

The demon lord ceased his action and watched as the skeleton stood up step by step, giving the appearance of being reanimated from death.

The demon lord was unable to make sense of what he was seeing; he had just finished killing a human, and despite having all of its organs burned-out, the human was still alive. The demon lord was unable to comprehend the mystery that was going on 

The demon lord yelled at the skeleton, "What kind of creature are you?" but the skeleton did not answer his question.

This was the first time the demon lord had seen the body of a lowly being that had been reduced to a skeleton, reanimate. He had seen a great number of creatures, even including the undead, but this was the first time he had seen something like this.

When the demon lord gazed into the eyes of the skeleton, he had the unsettling sensation that his soul was being sucked into them.

He quickly took his attention away from the eyes and moved on to the rest of the body, which he examined carefully.

He saw what appeared to be a small black hole developing in the middle of the area that was supposed to be the human stomach. Almost instantly, he pulled his gaze away from the stomach, because it gave him thesame sensation as the eye did.

The tiny black hole continued to grow larger over the course  time, and eventually became bigger and easier to spot.

Because this was the very first time anything like this had ever happened to the Demon lord, he was completely at a loss as to what actions he should take.

Even though he had been to a great number of planets in the past in order to destroy them, he had never before come across anything that was even remotely similar to what he was seeing right now.

He had finally made up his mind about what course of action to take; he created a larger sphere of black flames, and just as he was about to send it out, he noticed the small blackhole inside the skeleton suddenly grow in size, and then he watched all of the energy in the surrounding area of the battle field rush towards it.

The Skeleton promptly started regaining its flesh, and a few seconds after that, Sky's face became visible again. As if that were not enough, the black hole proceeded to swallow and the demons' corpses that were scattered around the battlefield and it surroundings.

Sky's entire body began to regrow its flesh, and as time passed, Sky was completely restored. There was not a single wound that could be seen anywhere on his body. After being reduced to the state of a skeleton, he had made a full recovery and was functioning normally once more.

The black hole inside his body continued Devouring until all of the demon corpses on the battlefield and in the area around it were consumed, at which point the black hole that was growing inside of Sky, grew to an even larger size.

The demon lord was completely taken aback when he discovered that Sky stormbreaker had been brought back to life. A lowly being had just succeeded in doing something that not even he himself was capable of doing.

Though he was suprised by what Sky had pulled off, this didnt deter him nonetheless, Sky was merely a more powerful Strange Ant, an Ant was still an Ant, no matter how strong it was, so there was no reason to be concerned about it. 

He saw that Sky's eyes were still crazy, the demon lord put on a condescending smile and said, "If you desire revenge, you should evaluate your capabilities first."

Sky's eyes seem to have gotten more crazy as the demon lord spoke.

The demon lord raised his hands once more,  this time he was going to bring out the most powerful black sphere he could possibly manufacture and destroy the ant once and for all.

At the precise moment when the demon lord was about to fire his black flames, Sky raced towards him at an incredible speed. Because of his incredible speed, the demon lord did not even see him approaching, the demon lord only noticed Sky disappearing and then felt some one was in his back.

When the demon lord turned around, he saw Sky standing behind him with what appeared to be a hand in his grasp.

When the demon lord turned his head to look at where his left hand was, all he could see was blood streaming from his own shoulder. It appeared as though his hands had been pulled directly from his shoulder. This caused the demon lord to experience a severe pain in his left shoulder.

He felt ashamed because he had been hurt by these lowly human, and the worst part of the whole situation was that whenever he looked into the eyes of a human he experienced intense agony and panic, two emotions that he had not felt in a very long time.

While he was gazing into them, the human eyes gave off the impression that they were a bottomless pit that was attempting to swallow him up.

As blood continued to trickle from the wound that had been given to him, the demon king howled in agony.

"Ant you dare injure me!"

When Sky saw the demon lord howling in pain,broke out in a wicked smirk, which looked out of character from his stoic angry face.

When the demon lord saw Sky's smile, he couldn't help but wonder if Sky  was the demon lord in this place and not him. Sky's smile appeared to be more threatening than the demon lord's smile did.

Once more, the demon lord began to collect as much dark flame as he could get his remaining hand wanting to quickly put an end to this human as fast as he could.

Once more, Sky moved with the speed of a jet, yanking the demon lord's remaining hand directly from his shoulder, just as he was concentrating the black flame into a sphere. The demon lord was just finishing the process of condensing the black flame sphere for the second time when this happened.

The Demon Lord felt a sharp pain on his shoulder once more, but at this moment, he was more concerned about the menacing smile that was permanently displayed on Sky's face than he was about the fact that he didn't have any hands any longer.

It was quite obvious to him that, sky was playing with him.

This was a complete embarrassment to him, a demon lord being toyed with by a lowly mortal being. 

Loking at Sky's once again the demon lord had the impression that the only thing he could do was run away from this human, from the new strength the human had showed the human's abilities far exceeded those of the demon lord.

Just as the demon lord was about to make a break for it, he felt a powerful pressure descend on him. This prevented him from escaping. When he felt this pressure, he was on the verge of passing, this was simmilar to the pressure he had applied on all the human, when he had descended.

"You are just a lowly human, and I assure you that you would pay a very high price if something were to happen to me." 

He raises his head to the side in an attempt to look at Sky, but all he saw on the human's face was a sneering grin. He was able to tell from the expression on the human's face that the human was getting ready to behead him, as he was constantly looking at his head.

He went into a state of panic, he was afraid he was going to die,he had never experienced anxiety on this level in his entire life.

The demon king got down on his knees, lifted his head up toward the heavens, and yelled with all of his might.

"Please, Lord Father, save me!"

His voice reverberated throughout the void space that existed beyond the sphere of the planet. Even for the demon lord, this was a lowly move; if he hadn't been in danger of losing his life, he never would have acted in such a pitiful manner as he did now.

At the very instant that his words reverberated throughout the entirety of the void, the void itself started to vibrate, and the planet, along with all of the planets and satellites in the surrounding area, started to shake.

Everything pointed to the possibility that a massive entity was getting ready to invade the world by bursting through space.

 Sky stormbreaker, who had gone insane, seemed to have regained back his sanity due to the presence of the being which was about to descend. He stopped and gazed up at the sky. He was under the definite impression that someone was looking at him very intently as he looked at the sky.

After what seemed like only a few moments, the sky was suddenly covered by a gigantic face that was visible from any location on the planet. In point of fact, if Sky Stormbreaker had been away from the planet and in the void, he would have witnessed the manifestation of an entire being together with its full body rather than just a face.

It was only the being's face that could be seen anywhere on the planet due to the fact that it was literally larger than the planet itself.

"I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WOULD BE YOU DEFIANT S-K-Y!!… LIKE A COCKROACH YOU REFUSE TO PERISH…."

Sky stormbreaker heard an angry voice that was reverberating and was echoing everywhere on the planet, including the void. It would appear that the pressure and sound emanating from the enormous face were successful in fully rousing him completely from the delirious state he had entered.

Even though he had never before in his life seen anything even remotely similar to what he was looking at, the enormous face which strangely appeared seemed to recognize him.

On the other hand, surprisingly he was taken aback by the realization that his feelings of rage and hatred were aimed more at the giant face than they had been at the demon lord.

After all, why should he feel such intense hatred for a being that he had never seen before? The fact that he felt more hate towards the strange face than the demon lord Moloch who had killed his wife, friends, and everyone else he had ever known left him perplexed.

"DEFIANT SKY, YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO DEFY US, TIME AFTER TIME,… THIS SOVEREIGN HAS DECIDED TO GIVE YOU A FINAL JUDGMENT, YOU SHALL WILL BE DESTROYED AND NEVER ALLOWED TO EXIST AGAIN FOREVER…."

The entire planet started to shake once more as the gigantic face announced its verdict on Sky.

Sky Stormbreaker was unfazed by the enormous face's statement; all that he was experiencing was an incomprehensible anger and a desire from the depths of his heart to challenge this being that appeared to be so powerful and gave off an aura that it could not be violated.

As a result, he chanted the war song, while bringing his fists up together, facing the giant face.

"WE SHALL FIGHT WITH EVERY FIBER OF OUR BODY,EVEN IN DEATH WE SHALL NOT SURRENDER !!!"

Only one phrase came out of the face as it took in the sight of Sky Stormbreaker's Defiance

"DIE!!"

A gigantic leg descended upon the entirety of the void space, with such an overwhelming force that the planets that were in close proximity to Sky's planet were completely destroyed even before the leg descended.

The planet where Sky lived was also destroyed together with Sky, everything from the void itself to all the planets in it, all turned to ashes.

……………..

A young man who had been sleeping on his bed and whose entire face was covered in heavy sweat as he slept, awoke at this time wailing in agonizing pain.

"No!!!!!"

"Damn it, it another one of these stupid nightmares again."
