"Sacred Demise.""Sinister Demise."They both cast the same spell in their own power type to end their fight, placing all their powers in their attack. A white light began to emerge from Kriss, reflecting his powers.A blackish maroon light began to emit from Zadicus as well, displaying their powers openly which no ordinary person could withstand. The lights were deadly but aware of the risks they both clashed.Everyone was taken aback when their swords clashed and the mountains of fire behind them perished in one second. They disappeared as if they didn’t exist, gleaming their monstrous powers.Zadicus being the owner of eleven relics, pushed Kriss away, he hit the wall with a force powerful enough to crack the wall. Zadicus appeared from behind and tried to cut him but moving to the side, he dodged the attack which burned the ground and slashed from the side, changing the whole surface of this dimension.The attack Zadicus dodged by ducking- it went upwards and hit the eye on above
Zadicus was back again to his mind. All the twelve relics were in his grasp. He had the whole control of the relics Zadicus was bleeding, losing his breaths as before he was a fifteen feet tall warrior. A knight in black armor with his face covered with a hood and a ripped red cape, holding an ancient maroon scythe with an obsidian in its middle, carved delicately to trap souls in it. “You look beat.” His deep husky voice came, holding his scythe while sitting on his throne, looking down at Zadicus but his face couldn’t be seen because of the shredded cloak over him. “I am.” Zadicus responded coldly, holding his bleeding arm which was burned too because of the fight. “Becoming a criminal, hurting your loved ones, your lovers, your friends, those unnecessary killings, all the destruction…” He began to say with a long and disappointing sigh, manipulating Zadicus by his words. “Was it worth it, Zadicus?” He asked, resting his elbow on the armrest, leaned back relaxed. “As if I had
“If you want to save your country then you must collect all my fragments and release me.” He enunciated, horrifying Zadicus to fathom what the hell he was talking about.His eyes widened in appall, not believing he was truly asking him to find the relics he resented. Moreover, knowing what they could do.“Are you out of your mind!? Why would I collect them?!” He gasped, making a disgusted face, denying flat out to do something ridiculous at this.He chuckled darkly at Zadicus’ denial and spoke what he dreaded the most, “Because if you didn’t, I will destroy your home.”Zadicus immobilized in fright, eyes widened, mouth gaped at his open threat which he couldn’t reject.“Don’t be ridiculous. Y-You can’t do this. I.. I can’t collect all relics, It would make me a worldwide criminal and- and the countries will fall apart too.” He stammered, terror creeping on his face to think what he could do.“Do you think I care? You must get me the relics and I promise I will live in you, Zadicus.” H
To present.In Yizar.Delora was resting on her throne, a series of screams echoing in the halls but she held unaffected face, glancing at the dried blood on the pillar with no reaction, deep in pondering.But, her rhythm of thoughts was broken when the ground shook for a brief second followed by a dark energy which stilled her for a second.“Well, well, look who’s back after two hundred years.” A dark smirk came to her lips when she felt this strong energy, rising from her throne gracefully, showing her seductive demeanor.“I should definitely greet an old friend.” She mumbled temptingly.She began to walk away to open her portal to Fier to witness the chaos which was going to take place there followed by her intrigue.“Let’s see if you are as strong as you used to be or not, Katastrofi.” ***To Hizerl.Zadicus was released along with Katastrofi, coming back to the world. To Hizerl where the gray clouds were moving rapidly when their owner came into this world.A fifteen feet knight
“Bring my Father back to life.” Zadicus whispered, a tear rolling down his cheek, his strenuous expressions converting into pure woe.“What…?” All of them were taken aback at his wish, unable to comprehend what happened to Zadicus.“Are you sure?” Even Katastrofi asked again, not believing the son of a scholar was making a foolish request like this.Wiping the tear on his cheek, he nodded in a broken voice, trying not to cry, “Yes. Bring my Father to life.”“Don’t be ridiculous, Brother! Dead don’t come to life! Send him back to his dimension, Brother! Don’t do this!” Tristan yelled, thinking logically and asking him to do something about this demon and not flow before emotions.“You should listen to your younger brother.” Katastrofi said, resting his scythe on the ground, waiting for his final decision but unable to bear it, Zadicus couldn’t take it. “I said bring my Father.” He growled, tears recollecting in his eyes. Hissing at Katastrofi to do as he says.“No!” Tristan shouted, d
“Oh my Dear, what have they done?” Sir Zuka’s voice broke, embracing Zadicus tightly, shutting his eyes, disheartened to know what his son faced all this time.Zadicus told his Father how badly he was treated by the people he intended to serve, how terribly they all broke him to never recover again, stealing his dreams from him.“All of them hurt me, punished me for something I never did.” He sobbed, complaining about the atrocity he faced all this time, pulling away a little.Pointing at Katastrofi who was disinterested in his miserable state and more focused on observing the human world. How the air felt after a devilishly long time.“A-And He threatened me to release him or else he would devastate Aziel. I was so powerless, I couldn’t do anything… They all hurt me.” Zadicus whispered, tears glistening in his eyes, pointing his trembling at Katastrofi who turned when he was mentioned.None of them dared to open their mouths after knowing what Zadicus held in his heart but never told
“Glory of faith, purge all stains, don’t let thy life pass in vain- Holy Purification.”The gray clouds of misery that were moving on the sky hastened, vanishing gradually, blessing the land of Hizerl with the chance of espy at night after twenty years.People were staggered, thinking they were hallucinating as they lost hopes of catching a glimpse of sky for eternity but their prayers were listened to.The night was shining bright with a blood moon which indicated to everyone that one of the greatest and darkest demons was released.The deepest shade of blue shone, creating a deadly atmosphere but Katastrofi was not pleased at all to see someone manage to lift his curse.“Hurry! Evacuate all civilians.” Tristan said, motioning to people to run away quickly and help as many people as they could.With a nod, they didn’t waste time and began to run to alarm people about the nightmare which had fallen on their heads.“Daphne, Alarm all the rulers about Katastrofi and prioritize citizen’s
“Come Forth, Palace of Malevolence.”When he brought his other world to the human world, the light from the blood moon began to shine bright, turning into a darker shade as the ground began to shake.“What the-” They all moved back when the ground cracked open and Katastrofi moved far back, creating a large crack in the terrain.Thrilled, he moved his hand back to the air again, a palace was brought out from the incredibly large crack on the ground, emerging as a palace where two twice the size of a normal human spartans were guarding.“What the fuck?” Tristan whispered, eyes widened in disbelief to see how he managed to bring out this nightmare without casting an actual spell. Simply by his hand motions. He was on a much higher level of magic and evilness.Followed by twenty cerberus and five cyclops they faced at the war, bringing a portion of Palace of Tears to the world but unlike Dimension of Katastrofi, it had no weak point like it had that eye on the sky.Leaving them with no
~Leaving this corrupted tale behind like a chapter in the past…~ Knocking, he took a deep breath, the sensations he once used to feel for her no longer existed, replaced with a delight to find his most cherished people binding in a sacred bond. “Persephone.” Kriss called, opening the door slowly to find Persephone an exquisite princess gown with a veil over her head. She had tears of felicity in her eyes which she wiped quickly and grinned at him, “Kriss?” Kriss returned a kind smile, taking a step towards her, standing before as his eyes contemplated her form, she looked like a princess who was about to end her fairytale. “You look angelic.” Kriss whispered sincerely, stopping at her eyes, felicitous for both Persephone and Zadicus. “Thank you.” She mumbled sheepishly, not used to fancy dresses and gowns but for her special day, she wore the most beautiful floor length lace gown, embroidered heavily. “Zadicus is dying to see you. He is so lucky to have the one he loves. No
While they went to take care of the guest, everyone else was lost in their own world and matters. Waiting for the final moment delightfully. Amid them, Tabit noticed Vera coming with her two years old adopted daughter. Vera wanted to give her life a meaning and adopted a girl from the orphanage. “Hey. How’s Ava doing?” Tabit asked, waving sweetly at Ava. Tabit had changed entirely, the deadness in her tone had faded, the seriousness in her eyes no longer existed, she had become a jovial person. “Good.” Vera smiled, patting her daughter’s head, considering her new meaning of life, offering her everything to this kid now. “Ava, Say hi.” Vera whispered, “Hello.” She greeted sweetly, bowing out of respect. “Hey, sweetie.” Tabit greeted, patting her head and noticing her happiness, Vera asked about her wellbeing, “What about you, Tabit?” “I am doing great. Actually better than I could ever be.” Tabit grinned, straightening her back to turn to Vera and talk to her. “Glad to hear
6 Months Later. Things were finally coming to their nonchalance, everyone was learning the ways of this new world gradually, everyone was accepting their lives- reviving the dead economy of Fier. And after a devilishly long time, the time to make a promise Zadicus made to Persephone had come, the day where their souls would connect eternally had finally come. Their wedding. In a three piece white suit, having an expensive brooch on the label. Hairs combed perfectly behind followed by a clean and trimmed beard unlike before. Clearing his throat, Zadicus looked at himself, checking himself to see whether he looks fine or not and smiled, remembering his Father in this auspicious event. “Finally, this day has come, Father.” Zadicus breathed out, looking out from the window of the grand house he once called his home, smiling beautifully. Following his Father’s steps, he had devoted his life to knowledge and education, he would lead a new generation through his powers and knowledg
After Tristan left, they all exhaled in sadness, turning to each other. “Tristan left too now. First Juniper and Ahlum and now him.” Vera whispered, not liking there were reducing in numbers but at least no one was dead.“I am going home.” Kriss said sadly, not wanting to talk about it anymore, ever since Juniper left, Kriss was totally depressed, he didn’t want to talk with her anymore.“I will check-” Persephone was about to speak but Zadicus stopped her.“Don’t check up on him. He needed to be alone. You guys go. I need to take Persephone somewhere too.” Zadicus said, taking Persephone’s hand.“Where?” She asked but he began to drag her away with him as quickly as he could, leaving everyone bewildered at his rush to take Persephone somewhere they didn’t know about.“Just come. We are already late.” Zadicus said, panting heavily while they were running down the forest, hands tightly locked together so no power of this world could part it. “Zadicus?” Persephone asked, worried at hi
Time passed in a blink of an eye, it had been a month, most of the damage was recovering gradually. Obviously the loss of lives couldn’t be recovered but people were trying to save whatever is left.Everyone was back to their position, to their duties. Many people died so everyone joined in to help. Continuing the family’s work, Zadicus left all violence behind and chose knowledge.He became the education minister, continuing what belonged to his family. Tademono's lineage had always been scholars and he would continue it with Daphne as his assistant. Sir Lark lost his life so Ruth pinched in to handle the country’s security. Of course they would have to work hard to gain acceptance but they did.“I am placing all my faith in you guys. Do not disappoint me. I have already lost too many people and you guys are the saviors.” His Majesty sighed but he truly had no choice but to have their help due to the crisis.“Rest assured, My Lord, we will devote ourselves. You can trust my people
Smiling, Kriss didn't wait for a second and pulled her into a passionate kiss, moving his fingers to her hairs, locking them perfectly to gain access to her lips so he could kiss them with all his endearment.Juniper was taken aback for a second but melted into his pure affection, closing her eyes, pulling his shirt as she kissed him back, moving her lips in unbreakable sync with his.They both smiled, kissing each other passionately. Juniper was slightly sloppy while Kriss’ talented lips gave her a whole new sensation of euphoria. Chuckling huskily, Kriss pulled away, holding Juniper possessively, “Be mine.” He pleaded, losing his breaths, having one desire left in his heart. But it wiped her felicity, replacing it with the apprehension of what she ended up doing in spur of emotions. “I can’t.” She whispered, horrified, realizing she ended up being manipulated by feelings.“Why not? You love me, I love you, I am willing to do everything.” Kriss asked, laughing nervously to wonder
Since Juniper was injured badly, she took a prolonged period to recover from that injury. She was sleeping peacefully until she felt long nails running down softly.Opening her eyes slowly by the foreign feeling, she saw Ahlum was no longer there with her but Delora was.She gasped instantly out of fear, unable to move while she was stroking her hairs.“How are you, Juniper?” Delora’s seductive tone came, caressing her sister slowly. “Fine.” She gulped, alarmed in her presence but her body was not ready to move and judging Ahlum’s disappearance, Delora must have taken her back to Yizar.“You guys did great. I knew he could do this. Zadicus had this potential in him.” Delora whispered sincerely, pulling her hand away, tracing her finger down to Juniper’s scar on her back, ruining her beautiful sister’s skin- according to her.“Are you here… to kill me?” Juniper asked hesitantly, swallowing hard in dread to wonder what she wanted from her.“You had enough adventure. I cannot risk your
“Finally the old man is retiring.” Vera chuckled, shaking her head to see Azen finally giving up on his position as the leader of Red Rain.“Yeah…” Tabit and Vera smiled at the adorable scene before them, looking at the elderly couple made them have faith in love. Their love had been the same for years. Rose is Azen’s lifeline. “Boss, we found someone from the assassin’s camp.” Since Tabit had become the leader of Red Rain, her responsibilities were enhanced. Sighing, she grinned, waving at all of them and left to see. Being from the camp too, she knew what could save a lost soul.Before Tabit, a thirteen year old kid was there who had no hopes of living just like her. She won’t ruin another life. I won’t do what Azen did. They are kids after all. Tabit thought compassionately. Taking a deep breath, she bent on her knees, holding her hand out to the kind who was unknown to kindness.“Hey, I am Tabit. Nice to meet you.” Tabit said happily, giving a sudden spark to the child befor
Sunlight penetrated through the curtains, falling on the face of a handsome man, covered in bandages, sleeping on the king-sized bed, waking him up from the deep but peaceful slumber of his.Opening his eyes slowly, his eyes fell upon a beautiful lady who opened the curtains to allow his skin to absorb some sunshine. Turning her head, she returned a sweet smile, whispering with a most loving tone of hers, “Hey…” Blinking, he regained his senses, clearing his vision from the light and noticing his beloved sitting next to him on the bed.“Persephone?” He called, blinking a few times before gaining his ability to see properly.“How are you feeling, Zadicus?” Humming, Persephone ran her fingers down his soft raven locks while holding his hand with her other hand, caressing him like a cherished possession.“Isn’t it... Your room?” He asked vaguely, sitting up, groaning in pain from the fight, looking around to find himself in the room he never thought would come again, finding himself o
