Walking along the destroyed streets of this fallen city, his whip in hand and bronze mask concealing his face, Lord Raven couldn't stop himself from smiling. His being faded into thin air as he reappeared in the confinements of a tomb and before him lay that lifeless body resting on an elevated platform, it was the body of the queen of dragons, Montifera.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAIidJwQYwmj
"You couldn't survive his attack, could you ?" Raven sighed. "I guess I'll have to do this again making you indebted to me for more millenniums once more."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAlMOmgO1usK
Walking towards the resting body, Raven climbed the stairs leading to the top of the platform, placing his right palm on queen Montifera's forehead, that halo of light descended upon them and in that instant, the queen's eyes opened.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA4t6acaKFXL
"Lord Secregard", she exhaled, "you have come but my child, my people, I sent them to meet you ..."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAicXjjtdTK3
"There's no need for you to be bothered", Raven replied, "your daughter and your people are in safe hands."
269Please respect copyright.PENANABCAVXWqiCd
"Is that so", the queen sighed, "I'm glad to hear that. You've made me indebted to you once again."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAHULYGSZRxO
"Don't be so downhearted old friend", lord Raven said as he took off his mask, "you'll only be running some errands for me. As for your people, I'll make sure they return as soon as the war is over"
269Please respect copyright.PENANARsQLMwcIuG
"You have changed a lot", the queen said as she held Balkyre Fang's face, "and why did you choose to descend to the lowest of realms when you were the mightiest of all even in Godsland ?"
269Please respect copyright.PENANA2iwLmphcbd
"That's a secret which I can't tell anyone", Fang replied.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAKJKlsfk7wZ
"Because I can't believe that the grand vampire god Secregard would get betrayed without him even knowing", Montifera continued, "how can the sun be ousted by the planets revolving around it ?"
269Please respect copyright.PENANAlMtmvbi0HQ
"Your guess might be correct", Fang replied turning around, "but what's important right now is ..."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAXmiPHOH00l
"The book of creation", the queen said holding her forehead, "that demon", she tried getting up from the platform on which she was lying on but slumped back.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAVdnOeGoha5
"There's no need for you to bother yourself about it right now", Fang consoled, "you need to rest in order to completely heal from your wounds. I'll send you to sleep and will wake you up once I return, the fact that you are alive must still be hidden as I am not fully aware of the ones pulling the strings of the events which are soon to unfold."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAImV9zvJCQV
"Your wish is my command lord Secregard", Montifera said as she fell into a deep slumber.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcFnmv70d5D
"Then what's next", said Fang putting on his mask, "is to see how weak I've become."

Vegraz marched with his army across the destroyed plains of this realm, after harnessing the power of the book of creation, he had now awakened a new plain of strength and celestial knowledge that made him feel invisible, but what was funny about all this was, it seemed that he had only been able to go through just a line from the book of creation, when it suddenly disappeared.
269Please respect copyright.PENANACyfi1LaP5s
"I'll make sure to find the complete book", he swore, "I can't be half fed and expect this hunger for power and knowledge to be quelled."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtzABv6T1Sn
"How odd isn't it ?" That whisper echoed through Vegraz's thoughts.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAWXhniQIqYP
Vegraz spine became stiff, he had felt the presence of someone whispering right into his ears just now, but on turning around, he couldn't find anyone, only his men were marching behind him as they rode their infernal beasts.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAee59PE6RR0
"Who is this ?" Vegraz wondered.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAWHgGDJYr2S
"Surprised ?" The whisper came again.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtfpkEehDEV
This time, Vegraz was at full alert, he wasn't mistaken, someone was playing with his thoughts, but who could it be ?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAp01lVN3Ot3
That halo tore out from the unknown, blowing past like a typhoon, it struck his marching army from the left flank sending them exploding into a mountain of flames.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAQTriJsPivP
Vegraz was dazed as he strained to rise from the ground, he hadn't expected to get attacked from dark, this was beyond what he could tolerate, who was it toying with him ?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAWFpi90UfiN
"Look ahead of you", the voice called.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAwmmWOTTcI0
On doing that, Vegraz saw that shadow in the distance who's robes fluttered as the wind blew by, with a hood covering his head. Not wasting time, Vegraz sent that flying orb of flames straight at the phantom blowing it into shreds.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAc8TKj4xl7W
That laughter rang like lightning and it sent shivers running down Vegraz's spine.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAixQIEFF9kh
"Who the hell is this demon ?" Vegraz couldn't help but say, but before he could react, that shadow emerged from the flames, his bronze robes fluttering, whip in hand and a hood covering his head with a bronze mask concealing his face.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAmdLh9vhFlQ
"Are you surprised to feel threatened ?" Lord Raven asked as he went into a fit of insane laughter which shook the foundations of the earth making the skies rage in their seas of lightning and flames.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAELspmmTK6a
No one needed to tell Vegraz that he was standing before a demon. How was he going to get out of this ? He hadn't anticipated such a powerful being to be residing ... wait, this time Vegraz smiled, how could he have forgotten, even though the demeanor of the person standing before him was grand, it was nothing compared to the one who wielded the power of the book of creation.
269Please respect copyright.PENANARi9mEdu1rH
"You scared me", Vegraz said, "but I can see that scaring people is all you can do."
269Please respect copyright.PENANABBC2M4guB8
Vegraz's form faded through the air like a streak of lightning as he charged at lord Raven who countered. Like gales of destruction and chaos, both beings clashed, their collision causing the earth to tremble. Lord Raven knew he was no match with the lord of the infernal realms, he was just putting on a show right now, a show to see ...
269Please respect copyright.PENANAkgu7voXXPS
" ... how weak I have become", said Raven as he barely countered the blow of Vegraz.
269Please respect copyright.PENANASpM95BdBEE
It broke through Raven's shield, sending him flying through the distance as he burst through mountain after mountain, until he finally crashed to the ground.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAIajvSIxZXk
"This is it", Raven smiled, "the revelation ... it's about to begin."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAiI3b4D9wNn
Not wasting time, Raven rose like a bolt of thunder charging at Vegraz who didn't hesitate to counter. Locking horns, they rammed into themselves making the heavens burst with flames and like before, Vegraz had the upper hand, grabbing Raven, he sent punch after punch straight into his ribs sending him crashing to the ground and like a pillar of flames, Vegraz descended, striking the already fallen Raven, the impact was fierce resulting in that chaotic sea of flames which rose to the heavens.
269Please respect copyright.PENANARK6NEWrXRQ
"How dare a weakling challenge the power of the book of creation ?!", Vegraz roared.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2jMQjqhW6
"Look beneath you", the voice called.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAIPX1YAaPR0
On looking to the ground and the crater he had formed, Vegraz was shocked to see that Raven was missing, the monster had ...
269Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ZwdezfUP
"Never be too sure about victory, when the battle has just started", said Raven as he sent his burning whip striking Vegraz from behind.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAfPSfcVpNsh
"Is that all you can do ?" Vegraz growled. "Sneak attacks ?!"
269Please respect copyright.PENANA050naX7Hnp
"It doesn't matter", replied Raven, "so long", he charged at Vegraz, "as I can defeat you."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAVsQgfpnyu7
Both clashed, this time, Vegraz summoned his lance and the battle of both whip and spear began, those sparks rising to the skies as they battled fiercely, blow for blow, both beings drove themselves back and forth, they kept charging at each other neither giving his opponent any opportunity to take advantage of an opening. Then, Vegraz took the offensive, striking Raven with his lance, he sent him flying through the distance.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAzRbgNNuHJw
Raven crashed, his fall forming a crater, but his being faded once again as he bolted through the distance, his whip lashing like a live snake and charging at Vegraz who couldn't help but wonder if he was the one being toyed with.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA3UPKAbtOZK
"It seems like I underestimated you", Vegraz said, unleashing that sea of flames from his being, "feel the wrath of true power, not this game of tricks you've been playing."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ8TpbkrzO
They clashed, Vegraz was getting the upper hand, his motion like lightning striking and burning down whatever stood in his path, he struck at Raven endlessly, not giving him even a single chance to retaliate or counter.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAueGYd0oMec
"You have only been running around all this time, let's see how you can withstand my might ?!" vegraz roared.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAwPr4C3bgpT
Unleashing that killer move which fell from the skies, it struck Raven, burying him deep into the foundations of the earth, it didn't stop, that lance of flames kept pushing Raven deeper into the ground, until it finally exploded, engulfing the entire terrain in a sea of flames.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAPjm8zVFXhN
Walking into that massive gorge which had been formed by his savage attack, Vegraz saw the body of this strange being lying on the ground.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAKZgtliuMVa
"Is he dead ?" Vegraz thought. "One couldn't be too sure when dealing with a trickster like this."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAoYt2cD42Qo
And Vegraz was right, Raven's being tore at him like a demon unleashed from the depths of hell. This was insane, Vegraz could deal with the attack, but something was wrong somewhere, why did it feel like he was fighting a thousand millennial existence, a god who's origin was unfathomable, that pressure, it was indeed overwhelming.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAIWTsxNkYk1
The battle continued, Vegraz kept landing blows on his opponent, throwing him back and forth, striking and stabbing, it was a savage fight, with Raven being thrown around like a torn rag, smashed and bashed to ground again and again but always getting up, always fighting back, it was like the struggle of an ant against the heavens.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA0F1y09XvQO
Vegraz couldn't help but wonder, had he been thinking too much ? Was it his own power that had overwhelmed him at that moment ? Because right now, the person before him was no match and he hadn't even used his full power, what was the point of this fight anyway, when he could end it all in one single move ?
269Please respect copyright.PENANANVQPHh7q3T
"You'll feel the power of the book of creation and will realize the vast difference between us, when you have been thrown into the void endless disparity and inexistence !"
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7LE9j0DdH3
The heavens rattled, their frenzy making the already broken earth shatter as they began this ritual of fire and lightning, that sea of destruction brimming in the heavens descended upon Raven, it was a colossal monster beyond description, shattering mountains and blowing away valleys, this was, he raged of celestial and savage power, power that could throw the heavens into chaos.
269Please respect copyright.PENANABGA8FiE0dw
"This", Raven sighed, "is how weak I've become. You were right Foran, I'll be dying countless times in this war, but, I'll make them feel my wrath."
269Please respect copyright.PENANATLF7xfN7NG
That sea of flames fell upon Raven, consuming him in its waves it sent the earth shattering, enacting the rise of those pillars of lightning. This was hell unleashed, rising to the heavens, it tore almost everything apart, with Vegraz at the centre of it all.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAnpRkSlh3yn
"Who dares challenge my might ?!" Vegraz roared to the heavens making them rage and thunder.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAjbNy0bnojz
A war of gods was at hand and the survivors of this war were going to be those who had the power and will to defy the orders of existence and rise to supremacy, only this group of beings were the ones who were going to survive.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAByYR8nUTvQ
"And my friend", Vegraz boasted, "I don't think you can be counted as one of the mighty ..."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAOICSzjtBmr
That mighty sea of bronze flames tore out from the depths of earth, bursting through Vegraz's sea of flames, it rose to the skies. Vegraz was taken aback by the aura which this explosion possessed, so powerful was it that it almost made him fall to the ground and staring below him, Vegraz saw that pair of beastly eyes and fangs roaring like an untamed serpent as it charged at him.
269Please respect copyright.PENANADoqCA0gGBt
"What is this power ?!" Vegraz gasped, the cold wave of fear running down his spine.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGuuvhsIzX5

269Please respect copyright.PENANAHIs9iDSky1
Walking across this plain, Vegraz was surprised at the amount of destruction lying before him, even his army had been caught up in the battle and not even their bodies could be found, as well as the body of that strange being who was the one Vegraz was more concerned about at the moment.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAc9Gb4em2fO
"I feel like I was the victor and at the same time the vanquished", Vegraz sighed staring around him, "I'm not sure that being is dead, I really underestimated him. Next time if I find you", he swore, "you won't survive to see the end of that day."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGurXIL2rPt
Lifting his right hand to the air, Vegraz summoned that typhoon of shadows and flames which rose to the skies, moulding and sculpting themselves, they formed that infinite army of Kaldroxs.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAUi4f61cEwO
"I wonder what realm will be next."
269Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ5pDaRbb5
***
269Please respect copyright.PENANAQgvCs306QH
BACK TO THE PRESENT.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA15yzVw60RA
Staring at that army of Kaldroxs covering the skies above them, Fang couldn't help but smile.
269Please respect copyright.PENANANddR8YKAjD
"Although I've become weak", he said as his bronze robes engulfed his entire body and his mask concealed his face, "I don't think this group of beasts will be a problem to deal with."
