“I won't die, I still have too much to live for.” Hades spoke to himself as he struggled to his feet, the punch from Raigulus messed up his insides, he could feel the broken ribs that pierced his lungs. However he had no luxury time of healing himself as the sphere of destruction came closer and closer to him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe even though with extreme difficulty due to his punctured lungs.
‘Gather, feel the metaphysical essence surge from your feet up to your core and hands open all five Hieroglyphs at once and let the accumulated power do its bidding, do not force it. Allow it on its own free will.’ He thought and extended his hand forward, the Metaphysical Essence within his body being bent to his will and like a puppet following the instructions of the puppeteer, it served his purpose.
A loud boom reverberated around the whole eastern side and a huge gusts of wind blew about as everything in a five kilometers radius
The brief interaction between Thanatos and Asylum stopped after Asylum's words. Thanatos merely closed his eyes and sighed, for he knew that the downfall of one started with the show of arrogance, he wasn't arrogant nor that confident to underestimate his opponent unlike the person behind him. It seemed like all of the gate guards have some complex to them that makes them thing they are superior to every individual. He saw no need to speak any further for the man he was conversing with had shown that he wasn't willing to negotiate with anyone or anything, his only option now was to fight him and win.He turned around and looked at Asylum without batting an eyelash, Thanatos was cunning and cynical, he did what he did to taunt the man into taking drastic actions as he appeared nonchalant about everything even to a point of yawning, He knew it was the highest form of disrespect to do so but he found excitement in watching the man before him get angry and angry from his actions
Earlier when the fight between Hades and Raigulus was still taking place. |The guard sent to inform the queen by Raigulus stumbled and stopped at the castle's extrance, his breathing was hazardous and he tried to catch his breath. He had burned his stamina from running more that two miles from the east gate to the palace. He stopped before the imperial guards at the gate to the palace and looked at them with shivering eyes.“Can I see t-the queen? It's very important, lord Raigulus sent me to inform her of what was going on.” He said with a frail voice, his worries weren't on the response of the gate guards but his leader, Raigulus.The guards nodded as they knew that for Raigulus to send someone instead of coming on his own life usual meant something was up and it needed his attention. The gate guards stepped to the side and allowed the shaking guard inside, once inside the guard ran all the way to the castle
“What was that?” Skyla asked feeling the building shake, She carried her new born daughter and with difficulty placed her on the alter, she collapsed soon after next to her. Her strength had been syphoned greatly by the pregnancy and childbirth, she was powerless to move much more, those subtle movements were the last of movements her body allowed her to make as he had yet to heal from childbirth.“I don't really know but we must get started before anything happens, I'll start the ritual and go to see what was the cause.” Lilianith said and knelt besides Sklya, she cut her hand and sprinkled the blood on the alter and the baby before taking a step back, everything was in order and the sacrifices that were needed were given, she closed her eyes and extended her hands forward.“The great penance let the blood of the king sip into the less blessed and grant her your overwhelming power.” Lilianith chanted, the blood started glowing and t
“We cannot do what you ask of us, we are running late as it is. I hope you can understand.” Thanatos stepped forward and said what he had to say not bothered about the entire platoon behind Morbius and Marquis.“I see, by the power and authority bestowed upon me by queen Lilianith I hereby sentence you delinquents to your executions, for the treason you have committed against the kingdom and the queen.” Morbius declared and once he did, the platoons charged forward aiming to overwhelm the small army in numbers, dragons, wolves and vampires all ready to deliver the killing blow.“They never learn.”“That they don't.”“Celestial body, Dark cloak.”“Celestial body, burning cage.”Thanatos and Hades said in union as they commanded their respective elements, one commanding absolute darkness, the other commanding absolute flames and heat. Th
The whole room became icy cold after Skyla said those words, the cogs in Lucifer's mind recalled that day, that conversation she had with Skyla on that night. Her eyes dangerously narrowed and her hands tightened into fists, “Aren’t we feisty devil Queen Lucifer? But rest assured I didn’t do anything yet…” those words, she remembered them all and the laugh that followed them.“So this is what you were planning all along.” She said under her breath, her once radiant crimson eyes turning to blood red. This woman, was a degenerate of the worst caliber, she didn't deserve to live after she had took advantage of her husband for power, all because of her selfish desires the entire lineage of succubuses would be erased from existence if it was the last thing she would do.A veil of malicious aura blanketed the room originating from the malevolent looking Lucifer who had a sick grin plastered on her face, h
It's been six months since the whole return from the underworld saga. In that six months Rogue experienced the joys and the downs of being a father, Aqiel was a fussy little girl who always bore a mischievous side to her, whenever Lucifer left her side she would cry and trash about becoming a bit restless. She literally hated him, or so he thought since she kept crying whenever he held her. In those six months they had relocated to Tokyo since Rogue found a job as a tutor in one of the prestigious schools in the main city, he and Lucifer lived in a simple two storey house and tackled the daily challenges of being parents, plus they were expecting another one soon. Rogue sighed as he placed his coffee cup on the table besides the headlamp which was on, he was grading papers from the mock quiz he gave his class and to be honest they weren't all that bad. Lucifer came up to him after putting Aqiel to bed and hugged him from behind. “Rough day at work?”
Rogue and Shizuki awaited with held breaths as the archangel descended down to their level but not entirely touching down. The ambience of the school parking lot immediately turned to icy cold, far colder than the autumn afternoon breeze. Rogue stepped in front of Shizuki and glared at Tamiel who merely looked at him with his multiple eyes.“Rest assured son of Chronos, I came here not to issue violence but to give warning, a warning you should heed and hold close to the heart.” Tamiel said telepathically making his words known to the two of them.Rogue didn't relax his composure but was intrigued at what the Archangel said, he came here to warn them? What could be so important that the archangel himself decided to come personally to issue out the warning, is it because it had something to do with the second sovereigns?“What’s that you wish to warn us about?”“That girl there besides you, is far more than what she seem
With Shizuki, the lass laid down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief as she allowed herself to rest comfortably, she never knew the Strifes would be such kind and welcoming people, but who were to blame her? She just met them today and mysteriously she got welcomed in the home.Shizuki closed her eyes allowing the soft mattress to ease away her worries and land her in the land of dreams, where everything was how she wanted it to be. However, immediately as she closed her eyes she saw a blinding light and looking closer she saw the spirit of the high priestess standing before her.“High Priestess Lenora, I thought you died, so happy to see you.”“Shizuki, I did die. What you see here is a remnant of my spirit residue I sealed inside of you when I gave you the book.”“Oh, I see...”“Fear not child, for we are with you in spirit remember that. Oh I came here to tell you something, something I should've to
