Vomiting, Dreygo had his stomach churned. He could not make the trip with a solid stomach. He was never used to interdimensional travels. It was maybe his human body could not take the magnitude of unexplainable pressure that his body felt as he traveled on an outer-dimensional plane and then back to Earth again.

He plunged both palms into the rubble, his knees were dug too as they reappeared to the Earth once again. Dreygo saw his vomit splashing against the ground. He lifted himself as he recuperated from embarrassment. He glanced at Elaine, she was doing the same. He guessed that porta; travels were not designed for human bodies. She was alright though, but gagging to vomit.

He saw Viriel training his eyes outwardly beyond the crater. A crater was so wide that it would cover ten football stadiums. Studying the smaller craters that sprawled on the mouth of where they stood, they assessed that a gruesome battle had ensued.

Somewhat battle scars had been made just recently. He saw D

  • Demon Ascension   Army of Ashmoth

    Lith, Hell *** Every step he made had a cracking sound - metallic boots against bones. The angel of the first ranks had sauntered into Hell over a hill of the dead. It was the closest route to Ashmoth’s throne. The skies cried red and black, horrifying to look at paired with what had been transpiring on the ground. The stench grew stronger every time they had a step nearer to their objective. The stench of the dead, rotting flesh, and the growing bacteria that plagued the bones that heaved the ground were stronger than it filled the atmosphere. It was so strong that it could be mistaken to be poison. The crimson soil was not its natural color, it was constantly bathed by the blood of the dead humanoid demons, a stain that stayed for thousands of years since the beginning of time. It was the opposite of Earth, it was the opposite of creation. Whatever that may be. All they saw was death by a sea of dead bodies. He heard King Nidas cursed under his breath as he grabbed one demon ske

    Lith Continent, Hell *** “You could have stabbed me in the back, Angel. What stopping you?” Ashmoth plastered with a hint of mockery on his face. Or his body was bathed with utter grotesque mockery of a monster. His voice was like a lash to the humanoid demons. But not to Nethaniel. He had fought more wretched beasts almost single-handedly from the deepest bowels of hells from post wars era, Red Dawn - an Era of peace after the Celestial Wars between Heaven and Hell. Nethaniel and the other angel warriors had kept the peace after the wars, cleaning the messes from where the armies scattered. The armies of hell divided into places in the realms of Heaven after their defeat. They were hiding in the forests but even in hiding they still pose a threat to the citizens. Some of these demon warriors looted farms. Thus Arkeus sent in a hunting party, a special mission, only for the first-rank angels. Nethaniel and his special task force eliminated every single one of the scums that linge

  • Demon Ascension   The Seventh Demon Lord

    The Demon Lord splurted with the black ooze that came from the lacerated wound. He gagged helplessly but his stare held the unmistakeable intent for revenge. The venom showered and as it touched the ground, it burned even the marsh of the soil. Nidas held his spear, pinning down the demon lord but the latter dislodged it easily from his neck and delivered a kick to the Earth King’s chest. His sole almost covered Nidas’ whole body. Nidas flew back to the crawling few of the demon army. He crashed, killing some demons in the process as they cracked their skulls or bones from the impenetrable body of an Earth King. “Wretched Earthworm!” He screamed, gargling, as he hauled himself up. His armor was heavy, his breastplates overweight for him to move swifter. Angrily, he took his sword from the marsh. “You better face me, monster. I am your top concern.” Nethaniel sliced his sword through the air. A whistling sound was audible momentarily. “Then, you are in trouble, puny angel.” Ashmoth

  • Demon Ascension   Ghosts of Limbo

    Leechway, Limbo *** Dreygo led the way toward the vast and seemingly aimless path along the plains of Limbo. They called the place, Leechway. The souls that tread along this path seemed to walk without ending, like a Leech – slowly. It was also the thought of his human friend, Sho, who he had left for dead made him weary. Every step gave the longing to find Sho’s soul in Limbo. But such a feat would be impossible with a place so vast and with millions of souls passing through. Elaine was trailing behind him, Viriel next, and lastly was the hunter Earth King, Davyd. The Demon’s mind was not only disturbed by what Nethaniel had brought the news but the suffering he remembered every fiber bit of memory that swam his thoughts. The gray sands that mantled the world’s bed were borne with every bit of memory. It was where the purging happened before a soul was judged towards their destination – Heaven or Demon World. “So, this is Limbo.” Elaine started. Her breathing had adjusted. “Yes

  • Demon Ascension   King of Ghosts

    Leechway, Limbo *** ‘We meet again!’ Dreygo thought as the ghost advanced incredibly fast toward them. The indistinctive moans continued and they were all around them. The sound of sand from the footfalls of the ghosts gave them gooseflesh, at least not to the Angel. He had survived Leechway when he had escaped from the Limbo courts. He was sure that the duration of his stay in these ghost lands was eventful and he was also sure that the ghosts were salivating for the opportunity to get him again. “Remember, these ghosts can kill you. They can manipulate your thoughts if they can touch you. They can play your mind and put you in a blender. You do not know what hits you.” Dreygo pondered. “That’s reassuring, Dreygo. How about a suggestion on how to beat them?” Elaine said strongly, trying to overcome the noise made by the invisible crowd. Her voice was shaking. “We can’t. Only your mind can. Remember, strengthen your mind. Focus on what you love the most. These ghosts cannot figh

    “You can’t take them. They are stronger than me. Incorruptible by the hate of the three realms. Their hearts are pure and it is uncrackable even for you.” Dreygo dashed towards the ghostly being. His fingers grabbed the garb. He tried to pull the being but it was immovable even though he only floats in the air. “Are you sure, Harbinger? The Angel had a secret. He’s hiding something from you. The woman. She is human. Weak and sinful. Yah know them, corrupted by the times of human trends. Sin stream along the trends, Harbinger. And King Davyd. He could not remember when he felt love. He was a King and hate had made him a better warrior. But yah know, hate.” The ghost laughed and flew backward away from Dreygo. The Demon’s hand had slipped from the distorted image of the ghost as if he only held air. “We have faith, Elban. We do not fear for we know what’s at stake.” “You know what’s at stake? Are yah sure, Harbinger?” He. He. He. You make me sick. Yah have strong words, harbinger. Bu

    Leechway, Limbo *** “What happened?” Dreygo scurried to Elaine’s side. She was perspiring but the glow that emanated from her had power on it, Dreygo felt the surge. “The ghosts. They let me remember how my dad died. They unlock something in me. This power started on that day and I was able to use it to my advantage.” Her voice was shaking. She was seemingly adjusting, maintaining her equanimity. “The ghost. The one who possessed me was scared shitless. It did not know that I am a prophetess.” The draught of her power was dampening. “I created a mental barrier that the ghosts could not touch. I controlled the realm that the ghosts created inside my mind. They stood no chance and I saw fear in them. Not by me, but to the being in Gwelleth.” “Are you sure?” Dreygo asked. “Yes, I am. They fear the Demon Lord. It was Sloth. It could be it.” “Well, they fear every being that is bestowed with a god’s power.” “Yeah. Each in every one of us has a god’s blood.” Viriel added. “What ab

    The cave made by two large rocks leaning against each other and another rock that served as the floor had a mysterious energy emanating from its belly, surging that power outwardly from the mouth. They felt the strangeness, they could taste the death that the air was borne with. “This is it boys and girl. We are going in.” Dreygo said as he went first inside. “Elaine.” He turned his back to face her. “I know Sloth, he claims to be the strongest of all Demon Lords. He fled from hell to get away of everything. He defied Kragus’ instructions to rule his continent. But he was not being punished by his way of treachery. There is a reason that he is here, this might be a trap.” “A trap or not, we still need to flush him out.” Viriel said. “I am good with traps.” Davyd said. “I was the best hunter back in my days. And this is the reason that I am with you, guys. To this quest. Because I can help track unlike the other Kings.” “Ok then, King Davyd. Do what you must and we will heed everyt

  • Epilogue

    It was the rain that woke Dreygo up. The gentle drops of the rain like small drums on his small hut roof had struck him with nostalgia. His head rang hard as if he had been asleep for years. His knees teetered as he tried to stand from the bed and found himself leaning against the wooden wall. His energy was drained maybe from the long slumber, he thought. He tried to think of something, but he knew that the world he was in was not a memory, nor the past, it was a new world. The feeling of nostalgia had suddenly visited him, escorted with pain, and depression. The reason was vague for the emotion he had experienced. He feared ever digging further into the root of what rumbled inside his stomach, deep in his thoughts something had lingered. He knew only sadness was waiting for him if he ever fathomed the reason. He took gentle strides outside the bedroom, his sole felt cold against the wooden floor. The woodwork was great, greater than he could ever build. The shack was small, and the

  • The Forbidden Spell

    “Elaine, start the incantations!” Viriel suggested. “We will triangulate him.” Elaine opened the book of Forbidden Spells. “Dreygo ready your weapon.” “Wait! You said, there is a sacrifice, what is it?” “Do not to worry, Dreygo. Just do your thing. Keep Kragus weak and I will do the rest. Viriel, hold him again with your vines. He had no powers at the moment but we have very little window of opportunity here.” Viriel summoned again the vines, now they were deadly as ever as Anacondas in the deep rivers of Amathon. The pointy sharp tips of the vines like-blades, weaved through Kragus's body. Kragus incinerated them eventually, but it gave a heavy toll on God as his knees trembled right after. “You can all stop what you are doing, and I will reward the three of you. Kings and Queen of realms. You will have power and riches you can never imagine.” Kragus tempted, his words bubbled with blood. “Stop with your lies, Kragus. You are going to die now.” Dreygo said as he stabbed his swor

  • Four Horses II

    The Portal Keepers were giants riding with horses twice as large as cattle. They did not speak; their presence spoke for themselves. Their empty rustic helms held no face, only a long mantle of torn cloth that covered their bodies. Skeleton arms were mounted with rustic armor and gauntlets that held their weapons. Kragus was even silenced as their horses set foot on the ground. They stopped neighing and the horses stared at Kragus with a deadly intent and one portal keeper glanced at Dreygo. The harbinger was stunned by their presence as if one move would kill him instantly. He could not read their intentions, their plans, or how they fight, they just stood there as if they were greater than the God in front of them. The Hag finally drowned in her own blood and dropped dead to the ground. Elaine released a heavy sigh after their skirmish of black magic. She won, defeated a Century-old witch but it gave out a large toll on her. Weakly she stood against Viriel but happiness was plastere

  • Four Horses

    “Now, Dreygo. This will be my last offer. Are you going to join me or join your comrades who had died in battle?” Kragus asked. He recovered and a mantle of aura could be sensed from afar. The Seer was beside him, delivering the Ferrum Minus back to God’s hand. “Welcome back, Lord Kragus.” The Seer whispered. “The clock is ticking, Dreygo. What are you going to do? I do not have time to wait all day. There is so much to do.” “Just kill me now, Kragus. I do not want to join with the likes of you. A scum to the realms! You made me what I am today, and you have shared your power. This does not give you the right that you can bend my principles. Kill me, if you don’t, I will kill you.” Dreygo answered. “So, you are determined to keep your decision on taking a God like me, even if it's impossible. Dreygo, I like your persistence. You have come this far and become the most powerful being in Hell, second to me. It is sure that I admired you, even from the start. You are my creation and my

  • Hag of Surprise

    As the Nocturnals and Kragus’ fight pressed on without any form of stoppage, the ground shook hard, an earthquake, so strong and abrupt. It was not because of their fight but something more dubious happening underneath them. The ground cracked and depressed as if they were pulled down to a hollow space underground. Dreygo ran himself to safety to where the cracks stopped. The birds flew everywhere as if the whole mountain was shaken. The fight between the Hell god and the Nocturnals had stopped momentarily. Something burst out from beneath the center of the crater and suddenly, vines sprouted. They grew so fast as if their growth were accelerated a billion times more than normal. The vines became larger as they emerged and crawled towards the air vertically. They intertwined so grotesquely but beautifully; one could not understand the combination of the natural design with less feeble-minded beings lesser than the gods. As it grew almost a kilometer high, the branches sprouted outwar

  • Mysterious Beings

    “I know you’re out there, Dreygo!” Kragus called out. His voice was fierce but calm, but somewhat tired like a man drank too much but could still hold his composure. The Hell God sauntered closer towards where Dreygo was hidden, his sword dragged against the ash ground. Dreygo went out from the shadow of the boulder and made himself visible to his enemy. His beast transformation was still intact, it was a good thing he thought. Now, the only question that flooded his thoughts, can he defeat the weakened Hell God? or was it another Hell God’s misdirection. He had to secure victory for this fight and should give his all, no second chances, otherwise it would mean the end of the three realms. “Well done, Kragus. You have proven yourself the most powerful of all three realms. Then, what’s next? Sit yourself on the throne and turn the realms like hell?” Dreygo responded. “We will cross the bridge when we get there, Dreygo. The offer still stands. Stand by me and you will become a God. I

  • The Selfish God

    It was too late. The Kraken was only a diversion and Arkeus had fixated his attention on killing it. Even Dreygo and Sarakiel had bought the same distraction. It gave ample time for Kragus to rally strength to conjure his ultimate weapon. His Solar Flare and Hell Freeze combined. Flame as bright and hot as the sun and frozen wind gust freezing everything it touches, both phenomena in one plane on opposite sides and Kragus was at the center. It created a dome around the two Gods, it was faint at first, but it became more visible as time passed.A dome made of flame and cold chilling air combined, it seemed that Kragus’ ultimate power was a God killer, Dreygo thought. The look on Arkeus’ face was stunned and surprised. Dreygo and Sarakiel was outside of the dome, but they could see passed through it. Dreygo could not explain but the dome was horrific to look at. Never in all his waking life had seen such powers of opposite character were merging into one. Even science could not fathom a

  • Ultimate Powers

    The Templar’s Hall cracked open as two Gods clashed each other with their unfathomable might. Kragus summoned a flame that engulfed his arms and Arkeus with his wind and lighting on both palms and with tremendous speed and energy, everything was devastated as both clashed together.And as the dust settled, the two gods were both gone, only the rays of the sky light shone through the devastated ceiling. Sarakiel had difficulty in standing up as his skin was burnt. But he was healing. Dreygo followed as he jumped through the ceiling and landed on the garden outside the hall. He found them just over the outskirts of the city boundaries as the clash continued, just at the foot of the mountain Stoic.He could feel the small quakes of the ground trembled below his feet. Lightning came and a gush of a deadly wind all in one place where the fight transpired. Flames and Ice also towered as assumed Kragus with his attacks. Dreygo ran towards to where the fight took place. It would take him ten

  • Demon - Angel - God

    Just right before Dreygo had to jump for an attack, Kragus faced him and said, “Remember, Dreygo. Remember, who you serve and remember the stakes for killing me. I know you have prepared on the knowledge of conjuring the Forbidden spell.” The Hell God smiled. It gave Dreygo a jolt of memory of the powers the coursed through his veins were just borrowed from the Hell God.Sarakiel sauntered to the dead angel bodies and took one sword lying on the ground. Without hesitation Sarakiel moved almost unnoticed by Dreygo as the former grasped the sword. Sarakiel poured everything on his sword attacks, even shouting at every strike. Dreygo could feel the heavy reverberations of steel hitting against steel in an incredible showcase of skill. It was intense and fast. But Kragus just defended them all with his sword, wide and light, almost effortless and without even delivering a single counter attack himself. As if Kragus was just observing or relaxing as their skirmish lengthened. It was seemin
