Pazuzu read the text several times to make sure that he was reading the right thing; and once he had confirmed that he was, he couldn’t help but be baffled by what he was seeing.

“Now that is just a dumb thing to do. Why would you tell a random person exactly how to break the seal? This seems like the work of that idiot Humbaba” Pazuzu sighed in disappointment as he read the text again. While he was pleased that he wouldn’t have to do much, he was disappointed in the people he once called his family. How could they be so naive? Which idiot would tell someone exactly how to release a horde of demons? Even to Pazuzu, this did not make sense at all. It was almost too good to be true. If there was any doubt that this was not the right place, that doubt was gone now; and it was all thanks to a silly message left behind by the gods.

“Sometimes I wonder if we truly were born of the same parent,” the Wind Demon King shook his head in disgust. However, the sooner he spoke those words, the soon

    As Pazuzu was greeted by the light outside the tunnel, his mind wondered what he could do next. He did not have any leads to follow, and the one thing that he had found had been taken away from him in the most cruel of jokes.“Is there any who would know what I seek?” he asked himself, trying hard to recall everything he knew thus far. Maybe - just maybe - there was something that he had missed. However, when he tried to recall what was necessary; when he tried to dig up the memories that he was confident he could find something in, his mind drew a blank as though those memories were forcefully suppressed.“This damned seal is not letting off even after my release!” Pazuzu exclaimed in a anger and punched the ground.*Boom*With a deafening groan a huge crater that spanned several hundreds of meters in diameter was formed. The cat that lay atop the Wind Demon King’s shoulders trembled as it was engulfed in its master’s fear.“To think you’d still be impressing on me even when you’re g

    The Tower of the Hundred was a tower that was known by every elder of the three Great Races. The tower in itself had no great use other than it’s absolute defense and ability to reappear. What made the tower famous was the one who occupied it; and her name was Ashera.Ashera stood upon the roof of the Tower of the Hundred with her eyes fixed onto a ring of clouds located in the east. The lady who was always so calm and composed had a worried expression on her face, and within those orbs, some fear could be seen.“He has awakened,” she stuttered nervously. While it was questionable that she had been able to infer this from just the clouds, this was not a normal world. This was a world were people controlled elements and possessed the ability to take on powerful beasts. There was nothing ordinary here.“I did not think that it would be so soon,” she mumbled. Per her predictions, the one called Pazuzu should have only awakened after a few more decades at the very least. That would have b

    Pazuzu was making his way to Intersection when he felt the distinct aura of a Wind Demon. His eyes flashed brightly as he abandoned his initial pursuit. Without any hesitation he turned towards the direction of that aura and pulled his cat off his shoulder and into his arms. For someone known for his callousness, he sure was gentle when it came to his pet.“Hold on tight,” he gently informed the cat as he petted its fur. It meowed comfortably before nodding its head intelligently and nuzzling into his bosom. Once it was comfortable enough, Pazuzu nodded his head and pushed forward, fracturing the ground he stood upon!*Boom*Like a comet he flew into the sky and dashed past numerous clouds. He who was the Wind Demon King could easily summon the clouds to carry him to his destination, but he was in too much of a hurry to pick such a luxurious form of travel. After all, he did not know when that aura would disappear. He had to get to it before it did. Five seconds - that was ll the time

    As Ashera tried to process what was happening, she was given another clue. For suddenly a strange symbol appeared on Pazuzu’s forehead. The symbol was that of a six-sided star, and it appeared right above Pazuzu’s right eyebrow. It glowed with a trace of malice and unruliness, and Ashera’s eyes sparkled when she saw it.“The Insidious Seal of David” Ashera could not help but be surprised by the star; but her surprise did not deter her from identifying it. The Insidious Seal was a sealing technique that could only be used by Cree royalty - royalty that Ashera was certain had been wiped out because Pazuzu had made sure of that. The Cree royal family was the head of the Cree god clan, a clan which Pazuzu had forced into extinction, leaving only the demon faction behind. Humbaba was the last remaining survivor of the Cree god clan before he cast himself into a seal with Pazuzu. His disappearance marked the disappearance of the Cree god clan from the universe as well.This meant that techn

    Once Asherah had made up her mind, she sprung into action. Her eyes flashed brightly as the winds gathered around her, morphing into several wind blades that were as long as a door yet as thin as a hair strand. At a rough estimate, there were at least twenty of these wind blades behind Asherah! The wind hummed strongly as the wind blades swiftly consolidated themselves.“Blood Arts: Infusion”Asherah’s slit her palm as she spoke. Several drops of blood few out of the cut and coated the blades, giving them a red hue. Their edges became sharper, and the auras that surrounded them grew more menacing after the blood baptism. It was like giving a tiger wings; her blood had added onto the power of her wind blades.Sensing that she had done enough, Asherah gestured with a wave of her hands, and the winds blades flew towards Pazuzu with great ferocity!*Whoosh*The winged cat on Pazuzu’s shoulder meowed to get him out of his current state. Unfortunately, Pazuzu’s ballooning emotions had trigg

    A red beam of light descended from the sky and smashed into the blood tsunami. The powerful storm that seemed capable of destroying the world was immediately blown to bits by the unexpected strike from the heavens, and the land grew calm for a second; but only for a second. For Asherah had not stopped her charge. Her eyes shone with a cruel haze as she adjusted her spear and readied her throwing arm. With a violent swing of her arm the spear was tossed towards the ascending Pazuzu, whistling through the air with vicious intent.“Hmph,” Pazuzu grunted. His eyes flashed coldly as he pulled his arm back. Blood escaped his injured lip and fell onto his arm, causing it to shine brightly like it had been engulfed in a sea of blood. Without a weapon he punched forward viciously, his attack generating several ripples in the air!*Boom*With nothing but his flesh and the assistance of the Blood Arts, Pazuzu clashed with the vicious spear and successfully warded it off!

    The spear that was engulfed in the red beam disappeared. In its place was a pole that was half a meter in diameter and at least four meters tall. The pole was engraved with several blasphemous images – images that screamed blasphemy against the one who was the King of the Wind Demons. For upon its surface had been engraved images of the Wind Demon King pinned underneath the talons of a phoenix, a creature of fire that was said to be the bane of the Wind Demons. Around the phoenix were several strange looking bats that possessed eyes so red that they were not concealed by the redness of the Asherah Pole! Floating above the pole was Asherah, the one whom the pole was named after and the woman who would have become the Queen of all Wind Demons had she accepted the proposal of Pazuzu several years ago. Her eyes were red as crimson, and her hair had adopted the same hue. The green that signified the brilliance of the wind was no more. All that remained was a fiery heat that didn’t come nat

    “These measly flames will never be able to stop me! I am Pazuzu!” The Wind Demon God screamed with vigour upon seeing his sword light cleave the flames into two. His eyes flashed with coldness as the image of the Griffin behind him became more solidified. Seeing this, Asherah furrowed her brows in thought.“Hehe,” Pazuzu chuckled upon seeing her befuddled expression. With a smug smile and a sense of satisfaction welling up within his soul that even he could not understand, he said,“Wondering why I am able to use my power now?”“No. I don’t need you to explain your abilities to me. I don’t have the time nor the energy to listen to the words of a man with one foot in the grave.” Asherah’s harsh words caused Pazuzu’s face to scrunch up into a scowl. The joy he felt from thwarting her plan was swiftly replaced by rage, and he wanted nothing more than to rip her apart. Now that he had confirmed that his power was effective against her flames, he knew that it was possible that this power s

    “This…is amazing,” Mane’s eyes widened as he took in the sight before him.The young Supreme was seated on Roxanne. The beautiful dark horse had been granted the power of flight by Crystal who had no trouble casting a flight Lease on the lovely beast. While this was not a permanent condition, it would last hours, and that was thanks to Crystal’s expert command over Chaos. Any other person would have been able to cast this Lease for just under a few minutes. Mane was no exception to this. Even if his power was not sealed, he would not be able to use this Lease to liberally. If this Lease was that practical, it would have been popularized.Next to him, Professors Stern and Stanley, and Dean Desmond had smile plastered on their faces as they watched the Supreme’s gobsmacked reaction to the impressive sight before him. Behind the professors were the students, both old and new. While the older students, Kahn, Frost, Bel, and Maia were floating on their own, the new students had to be envel

    “What a brilliant welcome,” Poseidon slowly moved towards the teenage looking Zeus and Atlas with a broad smile on his face.The god of the waves floated elegantly upon a bident, his eyes briefly scanning Atlas before finding his brother’s immature figure.“You have grown weak, brother,” Poseidon chuckled as he slowly flew towards his brother.Atlas, who had been on guard since Poseidon’s appearance, frowned upon seeing the god of the waves getting closer to a much weaker Zeus. His figure flashed as he appeared before Zeus, shielding him from the gaze of his own blood brother. “You have fallen low brother. Now, you require the protection of a titan? Hilarious.” Poseidon mocked as he locked eyes with the delicate looking Atlas. “Of course I have fallen. Not only was I betrayed by my own son, but I also almost died. What did you expect will happen when one who is considered as part of the big three of Olympus approaches a fallen god?” Zeus did not mind his brother’s comments.Instead

    Days passed and soon it was time for Mane to leave the planet of the Celestial Emperor. Well, he wasn’t the only one leaving. It was time for the professors to return to their academies with their students – both old and new. In front of the portal that could transport them back to their academies, Mane stood with his friends as they bid each other goodbye. Well, something close to that at least. To give them some privacy, the other professors had gone on ahead with the students, standing a few tens of meters away from the Silver Wolves.“Our great Supreme, our captain and leader, the Unbended is finally leaving us. Whatever are we to do?” Abe waved his hands theatrically as he feigned sadness and pain.His words caused Selina and the twins to snicker. Only Aegeus snorted before shooting Abe a deathly stare. As for Mane, he could only smile wryly at Abe’s comments. He didn’t know when it had started since he had been away for so long in the Dreamscape, but Abe had become more easy goi

    It took a week for Godking to complete its assignment and soon, Mane was back on Planet Celestial. Walking through the streets of the capital, he noticed that he was receiving a lot of stares. While it wasn’t unusual for people to stare at him given his appearance and his ethereal aura, that was only on Zandor. One could argue that it was because he didn’t look like a Celestial, but that was not accurate either. Since Celestials opened their homes to others who craved entry into the God Academies, they had welcomed several different species into their home world. Mane wasn’t not out of place in this new era, meaning there were definitely staring for another reason.“You have become very popular, young Supreme,” Professor Stern who was walking next to Mane chuckled and said.“Hahaha! The recordings that were taken of you should have spread everywhere by now. Even those who were unable to attend the event know who you are!” Professor Stanley laughed heartily while striking the young Sup

    “You are still eating, even after all that happened?” Hildegarde frowned and said.She was looking at the boy who had forcefully taken her with him when he was returning to his realm with a disapproving gaze. They had escaped that world that had been prepared as his burial place. As though it had never happened, they had returned to the exact spot he had been teleported from – the kitchen. Hildegarde was confused about his current reaction.Seeing him biting onto his tuna sandwich caused her eyebrows to lift in frustration. It was the very same meal that Mane had made and had barely taken a bite of when he was transported to another world. And yes, that was not a dream; it had really happened. She couldn’t understand how the Supreme could be so calm after coming out of a life-or-death situation.“What would you have me do then? Toss it into the trashcan? That would be a waste of food.” Mane answered nonchalantly as he wiped some fish from his cheek.“That…” Hildegarde searched for wor

    There were many things that could not be understood in this world, regardless of the amount of logic that one’s mind could process at any given moment, there were things that befuddled even the most brilliant minds. One of such brilliant minds – no, two of these – was staring into the sky full of stars with a torn expression on his face. This man – nay, this god – was the trickster and master shapeshifter, Loki. But he wasn’t alone.“What are you thinking about?”“Many things.”“The great Loki has more than one troubling issue? This is interesting. Odin would have laughed at the absurdity of such a statement; but looking at your expression, it seems to be true.”“It is arrogance to assume that one can solve all one’s problems with one’s mind alone. Why do you think I sought you?”“Isn’t it greater arrogance to presume that two would be enough?”“But its not just two is it? One is the mind of Odin and the other is the mind that Odin sought.”“You say you aren’t arrogant, but you do not

    He moved quickly, his feet gliding across the floor soundlessly as he reached the Earth Realmer’s unguarded back. He opened his mouth and spat out a dagger, sending it flying towards the neck of his enemy. Before he was spotted by one of the Profound Realmers, his dagger had already pierced the Earth Realmer’s neck, and the latter was grasping at his neck furiously, almost like he could seal the hole and return his blood to his body by doing so.“Intru-“*Puchi*Dan swiftly waved his hands, changing the direction of his dagger and sending it flying into the neck of the Profound Realmer who had tried to sell him out. As he did so he was already sweeping his foot towards the abdomen of another enemy.*Boom*The stunned guard was sent flying into the wall and coughing up blood before he could fully understand what was going on. By this time, the last guard had finally caught up. He dashed towards Dan quickly, drawing his sword in the process. Without any hesitation he swung his blade at

    “There really is no one impressive here,” Dragon King Bast stated as his sword sliced through a Noble as easily as cutting through tofu.“I knew he said he will make sure this place is left almost unguarded, but this is incredible,” Captain Hafiz muttered as he watched the disciplined legion of warriors beelining into their path.While he spoke calmly, his rioting aura and the violence being radiated in his eyes showed his eagerness for war. He was not the only one expressing such deathly intent. Every member of the Sun Squad was ready to go wild, their eyes gleaming just as dangerously as their captain.“Why are you people talking so much. Let’s fight!” Monkey King Hanuman roared out and jumped towards the approaching legion.While the others were a bit taken aback that there were none of the Skies here to face them, Monkey King Hanuman didn’t care about that.
