High-rise buildings, overpasses, roads intertwined from below and above, numerous lights, billboards, and so much more flitted in the eyes of Dreygo. He kept it to himself but Elaine and Viriel knew that Dreyo was flabbergasted with the sights he experienced. Tsi Luen City was a colorful city and the economy was booming compared to Derunia City – dry and heaved with residential housing that mixed with medium scale enterprises. Modern structures and establishments in Tsi Luen had large LED screens that would appear that the building was a large Television or was moving, which fascinated Dreygo.
The rain poured hard against their vehicle and it made the ambient temperature cooler. Dreygo loved the feeling. The coldness, the view, the way the humans portrayed love as they greeted their loved ones at the airport, a driving force grew that his mission should be accomplished. A mission to stop Kragus from destroying Earth.
As their vehicle stopped at a red traffic ligh

Demon Ascension The Diversion
Siren sounds of police cars and firetrucks surpassed the music volume of all the advertisements on digital billboards. Barricades were placed surrounding the exploded car. Dreygo and Viriel were oblivious to the assassin’s move. It was the doing of the cunning Zi Lok’s assassin to divert their attention and left Elaine behind the room, defenseless. Elaine approached the room hurriedly as she heard the housekeeper’s call. By instinct, she peeped at the door’s hole before she opened the door. She saw nobody conspicuous looking at the peephole but she knew that somebody was out there as she pressed her ear to the wooden door. She heard faint breathing. She did not respond to the call and she suddenly remembered Zi Lok’s reach and capabilities. Moreover, the man gawking at them at the airport. There was nowhere to hide and there was only one thing she could think of. She must contact Dreygo and Viriel. But both did not possess a mobile phone. So, she hurried to the balcony and closed the
Demon Ascension Azakiel of the Third Ranks
The deafening sound of alarm alerted the people in the Xianchi hotel. Another batch of Rescuers and bomb squads invaded the place and every customer was evacuated outside, a block away from the building. Elaine and Viriel carried Dreygo as the latter was half-conscious toward the taxi. Blood continuously dripped at Dreygo’s shirt as he coughed blood and suffered minute lacerations caused by flown cement particles during the blast. There was no need for hospitalization for the Harbinger for he could heal faster than human beings. He could feel pain but his body could regenerate itself at an accelerated pace. The Taxi driver, a lanky old man, complained about Dreygo’s condition that blood might stain his car seat covers. Viriel negotiated with the driver and gave him extra bucks for any trouble that would cause him. The driver had a different language which made Viriel difficult to communicate. In the end, Viriel used his power to make the Driver peacefully submit and accept the paym
Demon Ascension The Earth God - Nebirus
Dreygo grimaced in pain as the water trickled down on his lacerated skin. His eyes fluttered and all he saw was the blurred image of a concerned Elaine face hovering above his vision. He felt the cold air penetrating freely on his skin and then realized that he was naked and lying on the cushion bed as his wounds were attended to. He did not complain. He had no energy to do so. “You are alright,” Elaine said. Her voice muffled in the Harbinger's hearing. He felt weak but better as he felt comfort when Elaine’s warm hands gently touched his body. He wanted to move and get on with his mission but his body and mind urged him otherwise. Every inch of his body was engulfed with pain and exhaustion. His Earthly body was not used to the pain like what he used to experience in hell. This body could perish. His soul would be sent back to hell, back to a humanoid demon, stripped from his power as a Death Harbinger. Recklessness was not an option from now on. Sheer strength and willpower wer
Demon Ascension Assassin's Encounter I
Dreygo was suddenly awoken by his dreams of the past. The unending cries, screams, and wafting sea of flames flooded his dreams. His shirt was soaked wet with sweat and Elaine peacefully slept on the floor with only the extra sheets that comforted her. He looked for Viriel but there was no sign of him. The faint light of the morning sun found its way through in between the blinds. He tried to stretch his body, his arms outward, and a slight discomfort felt as freshly healed wounds on his chest. It seemed forever that he slept that numbed his feet as he tried to place them on the floor. He grabbed a glass of water on the side table and drank it whole. The water only filled his stomach but not his hunger. “Elaine.” He called and coughed right after. She did not flinch and continued with her sleep, her mouth slightly opened. Dreygo glanced at her and urged him to stare at her slightly shown midriff as her white shirt unconsciously lifted. The sheets covered most of her legs but slight
Demon Ascension The Traitor
The breeze carried dust and wafted in between them and the Assasin. The neighborhood was surprisingly empty but seemed to hide behind their homes as petrified to become witnesses of an ensuing murder. Even though Dreygo still felt the pain looming from his newly healed wounds, he should overcome this fearsome adversary. 'How could he know our current location?' Dreygo thought. He could not grasp the thought of how the Assassin could have followed them. He assumed technology had contributed a great part to his hunt. “Over my dead body!” Dreygo responded strongly as if trying to intimidate. “Certainly.” The assassin said while he took two knives from his vest. The technique he holds the knives was to throw them at his targets. Dreygo knew this. Knives were their secondary weapons during medieval times. Unfortunately, the Ferrum Minus was not with him. It was in the car. ‘I had to sacrifice my body to cover Elaine from possible attacks.’ Dreygo assessed He anticipated the assassin
Demon Ascension Officer Sho
The moon was high beyond the delicate grey hues of clouds. Tsi Luen City lights danced colorfully that refracted intricately against towering structures. Beneath the beautiful scenery, lay underground darkness that deteriorated the core of the said City. The Zi Lok Triad contributed most of its underground endeavors, not only corrupting the system but infecting them subtly with Demonic influence. Beyond the heart of the city, towns were quieter which was an opportune place for clandestine activities. Fear had directed the people to give a blind eye to witness Zi Lok’s operations which made them safe from the eyes of the fearsome Triad. Two three-story buildings provided a small alley in between them that made seven police officers sneak along. Their positions were concealed by prying eyes. Faint illumination was provided by the few lamps spaced farther that hardly served its purpose. The bright lights of the city could not penetrate the girth of the alley and civilians were rarely pr
Demon Ascension A Possible Ally
Dreygo grumbled to have known that one of the Angels had connived with Demons. It fumed him with anger at the thought of Heavenly Angels could be corrupted, stripped down his integrity in exchange for what? His precious life? They stooped so low, even a Demon like Dreygo churned his stomach at the idea. The fortress was impenetrable, even with a sneak attack was near to impossible. Ninjas added strain to the predicament. Storming the front would be easily gunned down by thirty roving demons. Motion detectors and sophisticated alarm systems were strategically installed. They need an army to penetrate the fortress but a luxury they do not have. Moreover, an Angel who had partnered with Zi Lok doubled the predicament. The angel could have greased the Triad's growth almost unchallenged. Dreygo thought that a threat this scale would need Viriel’s assistance. ‘I never thought that this mission was this problematic.’ Dreygo thought. It led him to think of putting down his arms and surre
Demon Ascension The Rescue
Tsengshe Hospital, Tsi Luen, Cheena *** The Harbinger's mind raced and his heart hammered against his chest as they hurried to the hospital. The demons could get Sho before they could get to him. Dreygo stepped inside the hospital lobby followed closely by Elaine. ‘My heart again. Having a mind on its own.’ The feeling was unusual. He ate risky situations for breakfast in hell but his heart said otherwise. But then again, as he assessed, Elaine was the root of his worry. Such a fragile creature, so human. He was not used to caring for another person as He was used to being a lone wolf in Hell. He could not afford Elaine to be shattered, mauled, or killed, for the thought was unbearable. Every worry that came up with his emotions was new to him. Something had grown inside of him, creeping out from a dark well. It was not his demonic powers but his essence of being human. Involuntary visions and sudden flashes of Hell, burning, screaming demons, and dark skies, diminished graduall
