The third day began as once again the Army of Heavens returned with Goddess Lumina as the main morale figure.
She never entrees the battlefield but she has shown herself as an excellent strategist who had in the flame of revenge used all of her time as she slowed down and perceived all the strategies that she could absorb within the time limit.
One could say that she has done her homework.
Amd how she could effectively use her units to get the job done. The main problems with Asuras is that except their rage there are mostly no weaknesses in their physic or their body structure. She used her strategy and used it to the best of the extent except they were human strategies which were used to fight against human. Thus in the tide of battle they turned fruitless and they had to fall back in order to reorder the knights around.
Rest the strategy mostly remained the same. On the Frontline. Were Jay and McElroy carving their way now even with more speed. Strategy Level up.
Suddenly from the sky dropped not one, not two but five heavenly demons before us towering with all their might and each with their respective symbol. Of the magic they practiced. The might they put their all Into.
And their pride so much that they named themselves on the magic they practiced.
Those Heavenly Demons are :
Agni, Jal, Tsuchi, Metal and Raijin.
Which are just names picked from a handful of different languages.
Agni means fire or Indian God of Fire and Jal means Water. translated over from Indian languages.
Meanwhile Metal is just metal in itself.
While Tsuchi and Raijin are earth and god of thunder in Japanese folklore.
And these five standing at already fifteen feet tall.
Agni :
Is your name Jay Garrick and McElroy.
Once again they carefully considered their position they were facing not only one but five heavenly demons.
It would be a very exhausting fight.
McElroy :
Yes.
Agni :
Oh i feel bad already we had just become friends yesterday.
And today we've received your termination orders.
From our Lord.
Raijin :
You know this man.
Raijin was the lord of thunder taken the form of a Heavenly Demon. Behind him were a set of drums with the symbol of lightning imbibed on it with strokes made with a paint brush.
There were a set of 10 drums made to make a different sound each time the drum was hit.
Raijin :
So you're both Jay and McElroy. You both have heard Agni.
Were here to make you both rue the day that you held a weapon before our kind.
Tsuchi :
But before I have to ask you. Are you an-
Agni :
I already asked them they said that they're neutral and not an ally of God. and they have no hatred of our kind.
But they have business with our lord.
And they're the first one I found which would not just start attacking out of the blue.
Jal :
So you have met them already Agni then why haven't you reported this.
Agni :
There were no orders asking for their elimination. So why should I bother. They're some actually good folks.
Out of the five heavenly demons not all of them were bulky muscular towering men. Tsuchi and Jal were the two women who had managed to reach the state of the heavenly demon.
Out of them Both Tsuchi and Jal were demons who had seen the mainland. They would live on the mainland.
But as Asura their rage was uncontrollable. And couldn't be suppressed which caused them to eventually attack villages and towns just to quall their anger.
And when their senses came to a somewhat pseudo normal point. They would bear witness with their own eyes the horrors they had created.
The brutally mutialed bodies of Men women and now even children were not spared. Huts were broken. Nothing but pure destruction.
They had become animals who just not slaughter humans but also their own kind.
But their own kind was also built with strength as they would fight on hours on end.
And mostly due to both of their strengths they would manage to survive one way or another.
Bekinging to these families were the daughters of the Asura Skimi and Fahdbur.
Their lives was spent the same way as their parents. Spent in fighting. With one another. Several times they would come close to killing one another. And several times they had to prevent their parents from killing one another.
During the pseduo tranquil state. A state which would only last for a few hours before the anger start flooding their minds again.
This state would mostly occur during the day time and during nighttime when their energy would be spent they would fall asleep.
To prevent fights while being in the psuedo anger state. They would bind each other with tight restraints so they couldn't hurt each other. And during the psuedi they would be locked within their domains so they couldn't hurt the others.
While the ones who were normal would rush to complete their chores such as filling water to drink from the rivers.
And catching the hunt for the entire family to eat.
But one day Jal and Tsuchi who didn't understand the reasoning behind these restraints escaped from them and arrived at a village. Where they lost their minds once again.
And when they returned the village ceased to exist and the entire village had been slaughtered with no one spared.
And this gave the girls a fright. As they were shocked on what they had done. The one who was barely alive was covered with blood his both was pierced very badly and still he headed towards them. With the last of his breath he chanted the same words Demons, Demons ill never forgive you. You took everything from me.
And he died.
Before dying the bloodied man toucher Jal and Tsuchis leg in an attempt to do something but his heart gave up in the end. The frightened girls shook his hands which grabbed their feet and when the suddenly realized what they had done.
They had reached the first stage set on the path of the heavenly demon. The oath dies not start with mediation or training of any sort. But just on the basis of a simple enlightenment
Self Realization.
