Sheng Mountain, Cheena, Earth *** “How did you manage to escape, Viriel?” Dreygo asked. “Yeah. About that. I made a compromise with him.” Viriel answered. Viriel pointed from behind the three and as they spun back, they saw the same features as Viriel and wearing also almost the same suit. They were flabbergasted by his presence. Even though, with the forest getting dimmer, ready to embrace the cold of the night, everybody felt safe and secure with the presence of the First ranking Angel before them. They sensed a strong aura that surrounded them like an invisible shield that not even wild animals would dare to attack. Seemed to have discouraged every evil that lingered in the forest with the presence of another angel. His face was somewhat gleaming and was mysteriously handsome but deadly at the same time in a dubious way. “Viriel told me about the path you have taken and I am willing to partake in this journey. But on one condition. If we are successful, Viriel will submit will
Zi Lok Fortress, Tsi Luen, Cheena, Earth *** The beautiful Zen garden that mantled the Fortress’ front yard was now strewn with dead bodies of the demon thugs that previously heaved the place. The Bahukatsu ninjas were standing before the dead Zi Lok goons. They were all staring at the majestic courtyard house, unexpectedly silent. As if to rush an attack would be a trap. The ninja assassins of Belrag were assumed to be present inside the Courtyard house as the Demon Lord planned for defense or an escape route. Dreygo sauntered along the cobbled paths of the Zen garden and towards the stairs connected to the large sliding Japanese-designed doors of the Courtyard house. The only sounds audible momentarily were his steps, the cold mountain breeze, and the water dripping at the automated miniature waterfall that made the Koi pond alive. This was the moment he has been waiting for. To kill another Demon Lord. But he was not sure if he was ready to face him without help from angels. Th
Zi Lok Fortress, Tsi Luen, Cheena, Earth *** Death Harbinger and the Lord of Envy standing in front of each other with their swords unsheathed. Dreygo and a few of the super ninjas behind him were ready for a fight against Belrag standing at the center of the largest room of the courtyard house. The atmosphere gradually grew heavy and it was felt by the humans present in the room. Elaine had her breathing increased and so was Sho. The air was thinning and getting hotter. It had little effect on the Bahukatsu ninjas and master Jade wearing their armor that served as a shield from the discomforting atmosphere. Everyone was ready for what was going to ensue. “I am ready to die, Dreygo, but it won’t be easy without the angel,” Belrag said. “Viriel will come, for that I am sure. But do not get too cocky without him. I might surprise you.” Dreygo responded. “Do you know what my capability is?” The Demon Lord asked. “Dancing?” Dreygo chuckled. “You are funny, Death Harbinger. This
Zi Lok Fortress, Tsi Luen, Cheena, Earth *** The Demon Lord hung about against the wall with the Death Sword still plunged through his chest. The grotesque form of a lifeless body had spoken, with the mocking face it wore. "You missed my head, Dreygo. You know that, right? The way to truly kill us is by severing our brains." Belrag chuckled. He slowly dislodged the two Kunais from his forehead and dropped them on the floor. The sounds of those metallic weapons clanged against the wooden floor. Belrag pushed himself away from the wall but the sword still lodged through his chest. Everybody was silent, looking at Belrag. The surprise was written on their faces. "I like this sword. What is its death count? A million?" Belrag said as he pulled the sword out from his chest. Blood continued to flow together with the sword, he was spluttering in the process. The horrendous scenery made other ninjas rose their food up to their mouths. "I won't make that same mistake again," Dreygo said
Tengzu, Tsi Luen, Cheena***Saturday. Alyssa grunted at the heavy groceries she had with her both hands, placed in a plastic bag, as she sprinted from the wet market together with her foster home's guardian, Miss Wendy. It was a few weeks since her mother died during the attack of Demon Lord of Wrath in the municipality of Tengzu. Her home also was destroyed by the assassin’s attack prior to the wreck brought by Zerath. As per judicial policy, every orphaned child, if the child was below the legal age, shall be directly sent to the nearest Foster home within their respective municipality. Alyssa had no choice but to get on with the system. “No to Martial Law!” One woman screamed with placards on her hand at the side of the curb Looting had increased as people panicked from the notion of the “End of the World” premise. Major Cities on the western side of the planet were at war and Cheena had undergone tremendous unrest about a drug that would turn users into killing machines. It w
Zi Lok Fortress, Tsi Luen *** “Here I come. I will attack your most vulnerable.” Belrag mused with a face grimaced in immense pain. “I am not used to this human body.” He continued, coughing blood. “My most vulnerable? I have not found it yet.” Dreygo said. “Really? Well, think again.” Belrag responded. The Demon Lord was still regaining from the damage he took from his hip. His blood still spluttering from his mouth as well as from his open wound. Then he lifted his sword forward, pointing to the Death Harbinger. The fire had started to engulf his body, creeping like snakes. As the flames passed on portions of his body, it vanished. He started to use his invisibility again. “Another coward move, Belrag.” Dreygo laughed softly. "Cowardice is neglecting who you really are and having nothing to do with it but fighting against it. You are a Demon, a Death Harbinger and you are fighting on the wrong side. You are the coward one!” “Your mind is crazy as it is corrupted. There is
Zi Lok Fortress, Tsi Luen, Cheena *** His saliva flooded his mouth. The color of his eyes turned black but the rage within him had been suppressed. He had control over the urge that invaded his being. Even he was surprised to have controlled this transformation. His training paid off, fortunately. The Mental chamber had taught him to conjure this power to feed by his free will. Not only the urge to feed that increased in this transformation but also his strength and his speed had given him a portion of the Demon Lord of Gluttony’s power. “What is this? Your eyes and your skin turned dark. This is impossible!” Belrag’s voice raised, agitated with what he witnessed. “This is Ashmoth’s power. The Lord of Gluttony. I know you are familiar with this capability.” Dregyo mused. “How could you control that power here? It is impossible to have conjured that here on Earth. Are you sure you can handle that here? You could kill everyone, including your friends.” Belrag continued. “Nah. I do
Unkown location, Northern Continent, Earth *** A slender young lady, on her mid-twenties, wore only a loose shirt and tattered jeans amidst the coldest season of the north side of the planet. The heart-shaped beautiful face she had, deceptive enough to lure men into admiration. She sat on a high rock, above a hill on the edge of a steep cliff where below was a deadly and rocky chasm covered in ice cold snow. She squatted on the rock, her back slouched, leveraged by her slender hands behind her. The cold wind continuously caressing her body, her cheeks felt shivers and her eyes had stood strong against the blinding chill of the harsh and sharp breeze. She trained her eyes to the patch of forest blanketed in snow, and the dark gray overcast, thick clouds covering the shy sunlight, and the treacherous valley that strewn below the hill. “You must miss Hell,” A voice loomed behind her. She glanced over her shoulder and smiled to the man who wore a business suit. “I might be. But I sta
