LIBERATING THE DEMON WORMS
"Did you kill all those infested worms?" Meera asked her.
"I saved them actually", Eirot replied to her.
"You really are the Savior of the Revelations?" Meera asked her.
"I really don't know much about the Revelations, I can't answer you about that", She replied to her.
"The Revelations are coming true, the Trinity are united again", Meera told us joyously.
"Forget about Meera, she's always talking religion that we don't understand", Cassandra told us as she walked up, her plague all gone from her.
With the crawlies taken care of Rinna and her shamans inspected the Door to Suffering again.
"What are you studying about the Door?" I asked her.
"I am trying to repair it", she replied to me.
"That is wise, so the crawlies won't come out again", I said to her.
Rinna brought a team of shamans over to the island to repair the broken portal to hell.
The emptied lagoon was drawn with complicated magic runes and imageries as a magic arraye was cast. Night stones were liberally cast on the arraye to empower its magic.
Upon the completion of the spell, the Door of Suffering was repaired.
"Did you repair the Door to Hell?" Eirot asked Rinna.
"Yes, it is repaired", she replied to us.
"But what is the use of this door it is only one way", Cassandra said to her.
"This is now a two-way gate. The original damage the Door suffered turned it into a two-way portal, otherwise the demon worms wouldn't be able to cross over to infect our people if the door was one-way", Rinna told us.
The Door to Suffering was a one-way gate originally, so that souls from the Asura Underworld could reach Hell but the minions of Hell couldn't return through that door.
That was the design of the Door of Suffering.
There was a barrier and lock that prevented those from Hell escaping through the Door, and that was for good reason. Demons are not meant to return to this world. But that barrier was broken. That was the reason the demon worms from Hell managed to reach the island.
When Rinna repaired the gate, she didn't repair the broken barrier that prevented the other side coming through.
"This is precisely what I need. I was wondering how to get to the surface of Hell and back. I must go to the Realm of Suffering", Eirot told us excitedly.
Eirot needed to go to the Realm of Suffering because she wanted to claim more Pools of Sufferings.
"Indeed, the wars in Hell are about to start", Alfred said to us.
"And the Revelations are closer to fulfillment", Meera added.
"We should not be hasty. We must make adequate preparations to make an expedition to Hell", I told Eirot.
"Yes, Hell is a dangerous place even for the Savior. We must be prepared", Alfred advised us.
"What is there to prepare? I have my army of demons in my soul realm", Eirot asked us.
"I can modify our tanks to run in Hell but that will take some time", Sara said to us.
"Alright, we'll prepare. It is not like I have a schedule to do this", Eirot told us.
"We'll still have to deal with the demon plague in Nyx kingdom", I said to them.
----
"We need to gather all the demons in one place. That will make it easier for me to liberate them", Eirot told us.
"I have something that can do that", Sara told us to our surprise.
Sara found one of the third horns of a Demonlord who was killed in the battle for Starri city. Naturally, she absorbed the creature artifact to study its magic.
The creature artifact from the Demonlord taught Sara how to cast their demonic fiery beams and also a unique utility spell, an ability of the demons to call minor demons to serve her.
Sara spent some time flying throughout Nymera making calls to the little demons and imps who were scattered across the kingdom and like Pied Piper of the children's stories, gathered the demons and imps in the Finelle pass.
It was time for Eirot to liberate the demons.
"Realm of Suffering Souls"
Eirot opened her hands wide as she floated before the gathering of demons and imps in the pass. The demons and imps were her flocks and Eirot towered over them like a cross floating in the sky.
"I've seen this in the scrolls before. This is the Gathering of the Flock", Meera said to me as she witnessed Eirot summoning the little imps and demons, before she passed me a scroll.
On the scroll the Savior appeared as a cross of light before her faithful as they floated toward her to be received and baptized by her.
"Weird and Uncanny", I said to her as I looked at her scroll.
The demons and imps gathered around Finelle pass suddenly transformed into magical essence that floated toward Eirot who readily accepted them into her realm of suffering souls and became their savior.
When she was done, all the demons and imps that infested Nyx kingdom were taken away by her.
-----
"Did you cleanse our kingdom from the demons?" Queen Mistral asked Eirot.
"Yes, the demons are gone. We will guard the Door of Suffering and make sure the demons will not crawl out again into this world", Eirot replied to her.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest came to the Halls of Istiopolis.
He was a princely regent who was accompanied by four beautiful women, all of whom were among the most beautiful in the world.
"The maidservants of Mahal? Aren't they already dead?" Alfred asked us.
"They are revived as golems", I replied to him.
"I notice there are many immortal golems around you, Dark Angel", Alfred said to me.
"Turning my friends into golems was the only way to retain their souls. The only way I knew of at the time", I replied to him.
"Hah, Orion, you are back in Istiopolis city", Melroy said to me.
