Chapter 3 - Birth of a God(3)

In a dark cave

A werewolf sat cross-legged with shut eyes but suddenly, the moment his eyes opened, the space in front of him distorted.

A man suddenly through a crack in space with black hair, red zircon-like eyes that could unravel the greatest of mysteries, and 2 elongated horns that came out from the front of his head. The being sat on a throne that was jet-black yet seemingly alive with its pulsative reaction to any light that it touched.

"Demon King Zelk..." the werewolf murmured.

"Hm?" said Demon King Zelk mused when finally noticing the figure.

"Well, would you look at that, it seems the son wants to go to his father." Zelk said as he got up from his throne and put his hands in his pocket.

"Shut up. You have no idea how long I hav-"

"Yeah, yeah, you want revenge for your father after I conquered his tribe. I get it, I truly do." he said while putting his hand over his heart.

"SHUT UP!" the werewolf couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped right to him but instead of punching him, he punched the air.

*WHOOSH*

Immediately after the punch, a sonic shockwave was formed causing the whole cave to collapse.

The werewolf then stomped the ground causing a magnitude 9 earthquake that shook anything in a 200 miles(322 km) radius.

"Do you have a grudge against me or the environment?" spoke Zelk with a raised eyebrow while he covered himself in a sphere-like force field.

To this, the werewolf gathered all the energy around the cave to his fists and burst it in one shot towards Zelk.

To this, Zelk's force field absorbed the energy as if it were the most delicious candy ever.

Immediately after, the werewolf jumped in front of the force field and punched in a slow yet deadly manner.

"Seriously, I was expecting more from this revenge but- Hm?" Zelk questioned but soon heard a sound.

*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*

Suddenly the force field shattered and just as the werewolf's punch was about to connect with Zelk, he dodged and put some distance between them.

'Is he using his life force? No, even if he uses his entire life force, it can't compare to the power he just displayed. Is it perhaps a Corrupted Relic, it would make sense if it is but why can't I sense it?' Zelk's thoughts came to a halt as the werewolf began to chase him down.

"It seems this fight will be more fun than I originally anticipated," Zelk spoke with in a playful tone.

Entrance of the Demon King's Castle ---- Roverdiam

On a battlefield that was filled with blood, guts, and craters dozens of meters big, a clash between two opposing powers is seen.

"My soldiers FIGHT until you can't breathe, FIGHT until you are smeared with the enemy's blood, FIGHT until death embraces you!" roared Ron as he brought down a 2-meter-long giant machete to any enemy that came his way.

*Rumble* *Rumble*

'Guess it's about time.' Ron thought as felt the ground shake around him.

"All soldiers follow Code Red! I repeat follow Code Red!" Ron roared to which all soldiers began to move as far as possible from the castle's gate.

The assassins were perplexed by this predicament but found their answer as suddenly the castle's gates burst open.

Dozens of chimera-like-beasts, ranging between 10 to 40 meters in height, began decimating all those who stood in their path, no matter if they were soldiers or assassins.

*ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR*

'They should be able to get rid of all the assassins, however, calming them down is a completely different matter' Ron thought with a solemn look on his face.

****

In a deep pit

*Rumble* *Rumble*

"It seems those two have begun their fight..." said the cloaked figure with a small sigh.

"...guess I'll have to hasten the process." saying those words, the cloaked figure put his hands on Lorella's forehead which began to emit a bluish light from his hands that began to spread over Lorella's body which made the purple cracks around her become darker and larger.

"AAAHHHHHH!!!!"

"Hm?" suddenly the cloaked figure's gaze went from Lorella's face to her womb.

"The baby should be dead by now, how is it still alive? The Corrupted energy should've long-"

Suddenly Lorella's womb glowed with a hint of purple and started to pulsate like a beating heart.

Suddenly the cloaked figure moved back as if he's been hit with a realization.

"That crazy woman!" the cloaked figure said before completely disappearing from the pit.

****

On top of the rubble that seemed to stretch for miles lay two figures, one standing with few scratches but still looking clean while the other was a bloodied mess with a body that seemed to have been crushed and smashed in together.

"Good job, I did expect you to last for 3 minutes, consider be impressed" Zelk spoke in a surprisingly impressed tone.

"I was wondering why I couldn't sense a Corrupted Relic on you, it was because instead of using it you instead consumed it at the cost of your soul"

"He-Hahaha-"

"Have you finally gone crazy little pup?" Zelk questioned with a small smile.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"You see as much as I love to see the despair of those who are at the precipice of embracing death I also have a trophy that I need to get back, so goodbye little pup." but just as Zelk was about to cut off the werewolf's head, his body started to convulse and shine with an intense hue of red.

*BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* 

A series of explosions occurred soon after, covering both the Demon King and the werewolf to their wrath.

As the explosion started to settle down, Zelk was seen with a bloody hand and ruined clothes with burned marks all over.

Slowly Zelk turned to his palm which seemed to be charred completely black.

"What sort of sacrifices did you put on both your body and soul to generate such energy? No, this sacrifice wasn't just yours was it? Rather it was of thousands of different individuals ranging from young to old, weak to strong, werewolves to even my race, demons." Zelk spoke with a contemplative edge to then let out a long sigh.

"Even so, I made my declaration on 'that' day that no matter who curses me, what I have to bring down, which ties I have to sever, I will become a 'Devil'." saying those final words, the space around Zelk cracked.
