A white glistening scale stood out in the Dark Blood Red Sky while a purple and grey moon hanging high above, riding Fafnir, a Dragon type Destroyer Class Contracted Beast, Cain Aramir oversee the chaotic battlefield from above, the United force of humankind, elf, dwarf and other races are being routed by the Chaos beast.
"Damn stupid Council, I already told them this strategy won't work". Cain cursed inwardly. Even though he has his own territory and his own Rune Knight Army but his influence still cannot penetrate the parliament that is made up from the five biggest kingdom army and the elder council of other races.
Cain can see even though their troops seems united on the battlefield but this is only on the surface, in truth most forces hold back their strongest trump card afraid of the other party backstabbing each other. They also don't have the same commander with each kingdom commanding their own troops with their own strategy believing their own approach are the best way to win the war.
The Enemies, a horde of chaotic beast with abstract form that come from space rift seems pursuing their troops in a tactful manner with the Gigantic Chaos hives sending a screeching sound. Cain already inform the council that these enemies are smart not just a bunch of mindless monsters. They can communicate through vibration and sound. They have one commander in the battlefield, the Gigantic Chaos Hives that is the incarnation of True Chaos Rune in this world or what the legend called Chaos core.
Cain can see that many of his Rune Knights are still struggling to defend their position, most of their contracted beast have been killed by the Chaos Beast or corrupted by the Chaos energy emanated from the Chaos Core. If they lose this war Cain believe that there will be no future for Virelant continent, the chaos will spread out throughout the continent like a plague.
Cain focus his mana on the True Rune of Observation and Knowledge engraved in the form of a tattoo on his head. This tattoo is invisible to others in normal condition except when the True Rune bearers use the rune power. Cain tried to simulate various strategy and condition only to end up with failure. All option seems to lead to dead end even his powerful True Rune cannot simulate a feasible plan to turn this situation around.
Searching for the plan with the highest success rate which only amount to 0.1%, Cain made up his mind.
"Fargo, please take me near the Chaos Core"
Fargo the Fafnir seems to understand what his master intends to do, His wings open wide and scattered the Chaos beast that fly near him. With a loud swoosh, Fargo rush to the Chaos Core that is about 30 mile from his position.
Waves after waves of chaos energy fired from Chaos beast approached them and Cain use his mana to stimulate his True Rune of Space and Time to create a space barrier, distorting the coming chaos energy and accelerating Fargo flight.
"Just a little more"
"BOOM", The Chaos Core, feeling threatened spit out a concentrated spear of chaos energy that penetrates the space barrier straight to Fargo heart.
Cain can feel Fargo pain, the huge white dragon falls out spinning from the sky. Even while falling Fargo still use his remaining power to control the angle of fall as near as possible to the Chaos core.
Thud!, Cain jumped from Fargo back when they are about to hit the ground. He roll more than 10 times to disperse the momentum of the fall.
Still Feeling Dizzy, Cain struggling to get back up and dragged his weary feet along the battlefield, his back illuminated by the rising blue sun. Every one of his heavy footsteps was accompanied by the dripping blood that trickled down the edges of his Armor.
He trudged on slaying the chaos beast that come in swarm, the sight of countless bodies of human, elf, dwarf, beast, monster and other variant races came into Cain's line of sight. His main objective is to destroy the gigantic Chaos Core in the back of enemy line.
"The Chaos have come to put an end to us all."
Even with the power of true runes I still failed to prevent this losing war, regret filled Cain's mind as he remembered the wasted times that he has been through to slowly develop his region.
"If only I have plenty resources to gather more True Runes to seal the Chaos Rift and prevent this calamity from happening"
The group of Chaos beast born from the core suddenly stopped what they were doing and stared at Cain, who was silently walking towards the Hive.
Their gazes were filled with hunger and madness.
"Grawwwwhhhh...." The Hive puts out a creepy sound.
"Impressive Human, you manage to barely survive the onslaught." The Hive puts out a barely understandable sound with a broken human language
"All My Contracted beast have died and My True runes power have been overdrawn, maybe staying alive itself is bad luck." Cain tried to make a conversation with the core not knowing whether the Chaos Core could understand him or not.
The Chaos Core vibrate and create a murmuring sound, I can smell the power of true rune coming from your body, I am very curious how come a mere human can bound more than one true runes to their soul? Calmly listening to the chaos core question, Cain slowly walked closer towards it, his face full of determination, He did not give any attention to the roaring's of chaos beast in the periphery of the chaos core.
Cain came to a stop in front of a giant pulsating blob of flesh that is called Chaos Core in Ancient Record. Just by being closed to it, he could feel the overwhelming pull of fear and madness that emanates from it, It stood more than a hundred metres long and as wide as a royal castle with pulsating veins all around the body. He swears that he could feel the Hives eyes if it has one is silently looking at him as if guessing what he is going to do next.
Now that I let you come near me what do you intend to do alone? Do you think you can win human? Your True Rune have not awakened either, don't tell me you don't know that every true rune posses intelligence and sentience and both of your true rune are still in a dormant state, fall asleep like your foolish race that are still struggling against each other even in the face of destruction.
Cain answered "I know that I cannot win this battle therefore the only hope I have is to detonate myself and pray that I can bring you down with me", having this thought, Cain silently stimulated the two true runes engraved in his body, it was a gamble, he intends to blow himself up by using the power of true runes so that the explosion can somehow take down the Core along.
The Chaos core sensing danger coming calls out a humongous roar that makes Cain ear bleed and his eyes explode, he could feel the roars power trying to crush all his internal organs and all the chaos beast near the core quickly come to him as if want to tear him apart.
Booom…..
A chaotic explosion engulfing the gigantic Chaos Core and all living thing in 50 mile radius. Mix of chaos energy, True Rune energy and elemental energy converging into an intricate tapestry of colours so beautiful but destructive, Cain can feels his body dissolving into dust and his soul floating in a void while remembering how he came to this god-forsaken world in the first place.
