Verner and Cedar watched Callus do all sorts of acrobatics with his chained rods then take his battle stance, Cedar held his sickles and spread his arms apart while Verner did the thunder spear pose "WAIT!!" Cedar commanded, Verner stood up straight and looked at him "What's the problem?" Verner asked,"This devil is much stronger than he looks, he has some sort of messed up ability that allows him to switch places with his opponents, so he could use it to his advantage and make us kill each other by switching places when we're just about to cut him down, the only reason you got him the last time is because he wasn't expecting it, neither was I" Verner looked back at Callus, he really didn't look strong, but he was black night which meant that he was definitely someone to be wary of no matter his appearance "You just called my dark magic art messed up, seems like all the beatings I gave you kinda knocked off your memories, because you'll know that I can be very dangerous when someo
"Verner!!!...Cedar!!!...where are you guys?!!!...Verner!!!" "That's enough Erik!!" Tywin shut him down, Erik sighed in frustration "Is it just me or have we gone through this corridor for like the third time in a row..." Tywin and Erik turned to Astrid who was observing the angel and devil painting she saw while they were searching for their room earlier "I don't see how that's possible" Tywin stated, Astrid still had her eyes fixed on the painting, "no, I can't be mistaken, I've seen this painting three times now in the last three corridors we were in, besides after going through so many floors we should have been at the ground floor by now, but we're still in the 200 series, doesn't that bother you guys?" Tywin and Erik glanced at each other,"I mean now that you mention it I think I get your point, it's been more than seven floors if I'm not mistaken and there are sixty rooms on each floor" Tywin pointed out "Which means that it should take us about five or six stories to get t
"Cedar!!" Verner ran to Cedar's corridor panting heavily, Cedar just stared at the flesh blobs that were slowly absorbing the guests in the rooms whose shattered walls were already getting patched up by Vagas flesh, once again he had been put in a dilemma, black night magic arts were always a pain in the ass to deal with. "What do we do now Cedar?, how are we going to save all these people?" Verner asked anxiously, Cedar turned to him "Remember what I told you earlier?""If I can die to save humanity?, I said yes" "No, not that"Verner's eyes narrowed as he tried to recall what Cedar was talking about "I told you that we're here to kill devils, not to save people, so even if it meant sacrificing all the guests in this hotel, we have to do whatever we can to find and kill that devil" Cedar peered into his eyes, Verner still looked reluctant "But we're so close, we can still...""Verner, crash the walls, destroy any flesh that tries to heal them, forget about the humans, the devil
The sun had begun to rise slowly on the horizon and all the survivors of the haunted hotel incident had been evacuated from the scene by the local police as well as members guardian society's disaster management squad as they had operational bases in every major city in Celestra. Verner and Astrid had been pulled out of the rubble from the collapsed hotel and were receiving treatment. Verner took a lot more physical damage as he wrapped himself around Astrid just before the building fell so prevent her from getting wounded but for some reason he didn't seem to feel the pain anymore. "How you feeling now?" Cedar asked Verner whose head was wrapped in blood stained bandage "I'm feeling good, which is very surprising" he replied. Verner was sitting on some rocks from the shattered building and he covered himself with a blanket, Astrid was already with Tywin and Erik. Cedar patted Verner on his shoulder, "I have to talk to the police and give them an official statement before we're
Blue lily pleasure house, Water fall City, 11 o clock at night; The pleasure house was booming with colours and music as they were having a special party which was held every full moon, performers played different kinds of songs with their musical instruments and the guests all danced and frolicked. Fully naked girls swung on poles and humped the men in the house to please them as they threw money notes and coins into the air and spanked each of them like the dirty whores they were. Everyone in the house were either dancing, drinking, gambling or banging, this place was by far the biggest sin establishment in Water fall City and one of the hottest in all of Celestra as well. Within one of the rooms of the pleasure house, Zaltar was getting serviced by three fully nude women while he sat on his bed, he had bright blue hair which was very scattered, his eyes were also blue with pupils slit like that of a snake. He wore a black leather jacket over a blue shirt while his lower body was
"You, look at me, black night six" Malachar commanded, Zaltar raised his head up steadily from his bowing position, his face dripping with sweat, he looked up to Malachar who was sitting on his high throne with the blood red flames burning behind it, it was his turn, this was the end for him. "I believe you were also part of the defectors, or am I mistaken?" Malachar asked, Zaltar was silent, then he summoned the courage to speak; "No...no my lord, you're not wrong, you can never be wrong" he answered "Can you give me any reason why I should let you live?, any point to justify your existence at all?" Zaltar was frozen, he searched his memory and knowledge to try and cook up an answer, then something came to his mind; "My Lord, I have disposed of two sentinel devil hunters in my life time, I believe I am still strong enough to fight the guardians and..." "You disposed of two sentinels you say?, the last time you fought any devil hunter was 300 years ago, and ever since th
Bane stared at Malachar who looked very gleeful, which was quite awkward as he rarely ever looked happy or pleased by anything "This dream of yours seems a little...far fetched my lord, how exactly do you plan to achieve this" Bane asked inquisitively, Malachar made a very devious smile and put his fingers together; "I'm going to unseal Damorak...""WHAT!!!" Bane shot back, the slammed his hands on the desk and stoop up sharply "My...my lord...you can't...Damorak... he's..." "He's what?, too powerful?, please!!" Malachar signalled at him to sit down, he dropped to his chair slowly, still looking very disturbed "Damorak and Phobius were some of the first members of the black nights when I first formed the cult and were the most powerful till today, but they grew too strong and slipped out of my control when they achieved the status of primordial, once a devil believes that it is strong enough to defeat me, whether it's true or false, I will lose my power of absolute control over it
Great plains of Celestra, 8 o clock in the morning; The train to the capital city whistled and chaffed on the railway built along the massive plains of low grass, wide horses and rabbits scattered around at the sight and sound of the massive train. Verner and his crew had crossed a sea on a long four day trip to get to the main land of the kingdom of Celestra and were on there way to the royal square in the capital city, just as Daegan had instructed. Astrid and Erik rested their heads on Tywin's sides as the trio read a book that he held together, Verner and Cedar were sitting just ahead of them, the train was full of other passengers who were going to the capital as well. Verner sat by the window and gazed at the green plains and wildlife while Cedar was sheathing and unsheathing Verner's thunder spear sword repeatedly, he was just toying with the weapon "You said Rodric gave this to you right?", Verner turned to him and saw Cedar shaking the chain at the end of the handle, "y
