VERNER: The Devil Hunter The price of freedom
Hector's POV: "Eighteen years, it's been eighteen long years since I left that hell of a place for good, how time flies, I could hardly notice it though, been too busy doing my thing, living my life. I never thought any of them would find me, I guess I've been taking too many jobs lately, I guess..."Guardian society Intern base, 18 years ago: I still remember the good old days, I and Rodric used to sit on the swing in our camp and talk a lot, talk about everything and anything. We were just 21, but we were already some of the most powerful members of the Guardian society, many of our colleagues and seniors predicted that we might even become sentinels before we hit thirty, and they weren't wrong after all, well I mean they weren't supposed to be... Rodric has changed a lot, he used to be so tall and skinny back then, it really didn't affect his strength though, I'm just glad he's put on some weight, his long purple hair today was short and ruffled back then, I always took good car
VERNER: The Devil Hunter A painful reunion
The streets of Starfall City were still very busy even as midnight drew nearer, horse driven carriages and pedestrians roamed the beautiful well lit roads, pubs and guests houses were all still running as they were night time businesses. This city was one of the biggest in Celestra after all and big cities were well known for their stunning nightlife scenery, but they got something very special this time around A huge lightning bolt travelled through the streets of the city extremely quickly, and it was followed by a wave of wind that destroyed almost every thing around it, this was all the civilians of the city saw, but it was just two men fighting so quickly that nobody could see them move at all. Rodric and Hector slashed their swords at each other ferociously as they raced through the streets at tremendous speeds, Rodric used one of his thunder flash techniques while Hector used a tsunami hex art to propel himself "Is that all you got?, RODRIC!!!""DAMN YOU!!!" Rodric increased
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Anything for my princess
Starfall City, the next morning: Hector laid with Belzara on his king sized bed in his fancy mansion bedroom, the sun had already risen but the room was still quite dark as tall decorated curtains covered all the windows. He gazed at the ceiling, very deep in his thoughts, and stroked Belzara's hair as she rested her head on his chest, clutching him with her arms as well and both of them were covered with a duvet, she was still asleep while Hector was wide awake. Hector couldn't stop thinking about his encounter with Rodric last night, this was the first time since his 'awakening' that he actually started to feel like he probably shouldn't have left the guardian society, Rodric has gotten much stronger than him now, most likely due to the fact that he had been hunting powerful devils the whole time and adapting to the conditions while Hector himself was just going around killing regular humans for huge bounties, he had built a fortune from his new profession though but he didn't fee
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Live and be happy
Celestra's Royal island resort; Tywin, Erik and Astrid sat at a table covered in so many different kinds of exotic cuisines and sea food, they all wore light shirts and shorts and were amazed by what this place had to offer, a bunch of other guests also sat at the other tables in the resort restaurant, every one seemed to be having fun, three empty seats were by their table as Verner, Skylar and Cedar were absent "This place is WILD!!!" Erik commended as he munched on a grilled lobster tail, Tywin just calmly ate his meal while Astrid was playing with hers, she used a fork to shoot an oyster into Tywin's face, making him to spill a spoonful over his shirt, she and Erik laughed and almost choked, and Tywin didn't find that really funny at all He looked at both of them with disgust, playing around like children while he was just trying to enjoy a decent meal, he was starting to believe Verner was the only other sane person in this squad of theirs, he hated Verner earlier but these t
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Not again
Valdrik and Zaltar; black night number six, stood on the roof of a guest house in the resort, it was almost five o clock in the morning and the sun would be up in an hour, but they had to take this chance of theirs, they had come to abduct Princess Skylar and were well prepared for the operation After Zaltar's extremely lucky escape from Malachar's annihilation of the black nights, he knew he had to do something to ensure that Malachar still felt he was useful to him, Bane had saved his life that day in the throne room by managing to convince Malachar to spare the remaining black nights and Zaltar knew he had to prove his worth to Malachar after that. He decided to team up with Valdrik in this quest to capture the light bearer and bring her to Malachar, Valdrik on the other hand was very pleased that he had managed to find Skylar before Belzara did, and when he eventually got her and handed her over to his father, Belzara would be put to death just like they agreed, and his revenge w
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Skylar's powers
The residents of the resort all scattered in different directions, each of them running for their lives as hundreds of feral devils appeared out of no where and began to slaughter every human in sight, the red flames that burned the buildings were extremely hot and spreading very fast. Valdrik and Zaltar watched all the chaos going on from the top of the building they stood on, waiting for the hunters to show up, and they did in no time. Astrid used her water hex arts; living spring pillars to create huge water eruptions from the ground, she gradually flooded the resort but the red flames were extremely difficult to quench, even when doused with so much water "It's pointless, this flames aren't normal" Astrid said, feeling very frustrated, Tywin and Erik stood behind her, "I can't control them either, the flames are made of dark energy, my fire hex arts won't work on it" Tywin added, Erik put in his knuckle braces and the metal spread and covered his arms; "We have to find Cedar, ma
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Zaltar vs the Interns
"Dark magic arts; cold blood assassination" Zaltar joined his hands together and formed the shape of a gun, his grey blood droplets that filled the air all joined together and shot at Tywin in a high pressure laser stream "Shit!!" Tywin exclaimed and used his flame sword to block the blood laser, it scattered into droplets again, "ASTRID!!, ERIK!!, protect Skylar!!, I'll hold him off!!" "Not today" Zaltar responded, he dashed towards Tywin and used his metal blood to form two daggers "Fire hex arts: Flame projection!!"Tywin sent a wave of fire towards Zaltar which he casually dodged by spinning over it, he shot his laser again, but not at Tywin this time, it went straight to Skylar's face and was too fast for her to react. Erik jumped in and shielded her, using his metal coated arms to block, Tywin slashed at Zaltar multiple times but he blocked all the strikes with his fists much to the surprise of Tywin, he had used his blood to fortify his arms, almost the same way Erik uses hi
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Prince of the underworld
Tywin, Astrid and Erik could only stand and watch as a huge beast devil burst out of the building rubble behind Skylar and gobble her up in a split second, they watched as it gulped her down it's throat, "Skylar...no..." Erik stuttered, all of them were extremely horrified, the beast returned their gaze for some seconds before running off to wherever it came from "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!!!" Tywin screamed, he drew his sword and tried to chase after it but so many more beast devils gathered around them, growling and barking, they were completely surrounded, whoever was releasing these devils was definitely making a coordinated attack "Astrid!!!, run after that thing, see if we can get Skylar back, I don't think it wanted to kill her!!!" Tywin commanded, Astrid nodded affirmatively and ran after it, killing two devils that tried to stop her, the rest focused in Tywin and Erik, gradually creeping closer to the boys "Erik, it's just you and me now, we have to kill these o

The majors vs the primordial
A few minutes ago: The three majors stood over the rooftops of the metropolitan buildings, surrounding the business complex that had Bane's wine bar at the ground floor, they were getting ready for a full scale invasion as they had gathered substantial intel on the identity and potential of the devil that ran this undercity business empire, black night number one, Bane. "How long are we going to wait out here Marvin?, it's almost ten o clock" Renae the new major of the thunder clan seemed very impatient, at the age of 21 she had never fought a black night before and didn't understand how much more powerful they'd be than the common red grades, Marvin the fire major and Hugo the major of the water clan were a lot more experienced and knew better than to jump in this early in the night "We'd be better of waiting here as long as we can, if what we heard is true then this devil we're about to face must be extremely powerful" Marvin stated. "The closer we are to sunrise the greater our

The daywalker
Bane's wine bar, the capital city, 9:30 pm A beautiful horse driven carriage pulled over at the front of Bane's establishment, a couple of men who stood around where drawn by the very fancy vehicle and the two brown horses that pulled it. Two hefty men who were most likely body guards stepped out of the carriage from the doors on both sides and one of them offered a hand to help their mistress step out. Belzara walked out of the carriage and looked around, she wore a very long suit jacket and trousers over a white top and black tie which was elevated by her huge breasts, as well as a black hat over her head to conceal her little red horns, her blood red eyes glowed in the dark of the night and her lips were the same colour. She walked into the bar hurriedly and was swiftly followed by her bodyguards, the men who hung around the bar had all their eyes on this fascinating lady, a few of the regular customers could have sworn that they had seen her here before. Belzara went into Bane's

A dangerous secret
Tywin arrived at the disaster management base on the island at sunset, the same place where Cedar was taken to for treatment, he brought Erik's dying body and cried out for help as many of the staff rushed and relieved his injured comrade from his hands. Tywin himself was very worn out, he had a punctured lung and many damaged organs and bones after fighting both Zaltar and Hector, the attendants tried to walk him in but he kept on wailing and just knelt on the ground. "Tywin..." He raised his head up and saw Daegan standing in front of him, Daegan had arrived on the island's sea port an hour ago after Cedar sent a pigeon to him during the night, just after Valdrik's invasion began, he took a horse ride to the management base as he couldn't find the interns he was supposed to carry home. "Where are the others?,...Verner, Skylar, where are they?!!" Tywin just stared at Daegan, he saw the grief Tywin's eyes, the poor boy must have seen very terrible things today, and that could only

True freedom
Hector was aghast as he watched Verner's halved arms fully regenerate, a million thoughts ran through his mind as the horror scene played out in broad daylight, a human with the power of devils?!!, a devil that managed to survive the sun?!!, whatever this brat was he definitely wasn't a normal human being. Hector shook himself out of his appalled state and drew his sword then charged at Verner; "I'll kill you again!!, damn devil!!!"He got to Verner and slashed at him, he gasped in shock as Verner had vanished from his sight and stood behind him "That's my sword isn't it?" Verner pulled out the thunder flash spear from Hector's strap and took it out of it's sheath, Hector growled and spun quickly to strike him again and Verner halted the attack with his own sword, a shockwave tore through the air as their blades jammed each other "He's a lot faster and stronger now, this is bad!!, this is very bad!!" Hector thought, Verner released his sword from the blade lock and attacked Hector

A zombie
"Where am I?...what happened to me?...where is everyone?,...Tywin, Erik...Skylar..." The island's forest had become very quiet and only the sounds of chirping birds could be heard, Verner's body laid in a pool of his own blood as his two arms were cut in half and his head was drilled open by Hector's dagger, all of which spilled blood like a bursted tank. The sun was at it's brightest and high up in the sky which meant it was midday, Verner's eyes slowly blinked as he gradually regained consciousness "Who am I kidding?,...why am I even doing all of this?,...I'm just a pathetic and powerless brat,...I don't deserve to be a devil hunter,...I don't have any reason to live anymore,...I should just die already,...yeah...maybe then I'll finally meet my mother,...that was all I ever wanted,...wasn't it?..." Verner began to see memories of his childhood, back when he was just a little boy, when he would come back home after spending a whole day playing with the village children, when his

Mission accomplished
Tywin, Erik and Skylar hid themselves in a building on the island, the place seemed to be an abandoned guest house that probably had all it's inhabitants evacuated during the devil attack early this morning. Skylar sat on a chair with her face in her palms, Erik paced around the room and Tywin peeked outside a narrowly opened window, looking out for any signs of Verner or Hector. "Anything yet?" Erik asked and broke the silence, Tywin shut the window and sighed in frustration, "no" he replied coldly. Erik had his hands on his waist and stared at the ground, deep in thought, Tywin bumped his forehead gently on the window repeatedly, the whole room was very tense and moody, they didn't know what to think, what to feel, they could only imagine what Verner would be going through out there, they felt it was best to hide incase Hector got rid of Verner too quickly and chased after them. "Why is all this happening to me?!!,...what did I ever do to deserve this?!!, all I wanted was a good

Hector strikes
"Tywin, Erik, take Skylar and run as fast as you can, I'll hold him off" Verner commanded, watching Hector very sternly, Tywin didn't seem to agree with his request; "No way Verner, this guy can kill you!!, if we're going to stop him we'd have to fight together" "We cant!!, you two are badly wounded, he'd take you both out immediately and I can't let that happen, get away from here as fast as you can, find somewhere to hide, we can't let anything happen to Skylar." Hector grinned as he watched Verner's heroic act, the whole scene was just so comedic to him, this kid really thought he stood a chance against him in a fight, or he was probably just sacrificing himself, both ways the result would just be his death and it would all be for nothing. Tywin left with Erik and Skylar, she took one last glance at Verner before turning to leave, this was most likely the last time she'd ever see him and the thought of that made her so distraught. Verner and Hector were now all alone, Verner

She's not worth it
Guardian society disaster management and paramedics arrived at the resort as the sun rose fully, they had a base at one end of the island as they do in every major residential area in Celestra to help survivors and bring medical support after battles with devils like these, the resort was in total shambles and all that was left was ash and wreckage of the destroyed buildings and facilities. Verner, Skylar and the other interns gathered around Cedar as he got his wounds treated and bandaged then placed in a stretcher. Tywin, Astrid and Erik also got their injuries tied up as well, Zaltar's cold blood attacks took a huge toll on them but it not nearly as bad as Cedar who might never be able to fight again. Cedar took one last glance at each of his students "Verner, Tywin, Erik... you..." he said as he couldn't remember Astrid's name, "The four of you should take Skylar and head to the port, this island is no longer safe for any of you, or anyone at all, I sent my pigeon to HQ last

The decisive battle
Valdrik stood still and really considered the stakes here, he knew very well that his plan to capture Skylar today was very implausible as time was not on his side, the sun would be up in any minute from now and he'd be doomed, Zaltar and the monsters that he sent after the princess had not given any signal till now, he already began to assume that they were dead, the odds were all stacked against him but he knew that if this operation was botched he would never get a chance like this again. He slammed his fist into his palm and summoned a ring of red flames around himself, Cedar smiled gleefully and spun his sickles; "So this is how you want it to be huh?!!""Dark magic arts; Crimson death wheel!!!" Valdrik launched himself with his red flames towards Cedar, he had to finish this battle as soon as possible or it would be over for him, this fight was all or nothing, Cedar ran towards him as well and swung his sickles at him, Valdrik was wading them all off with his flame covered fi
