Chapter 14 - The Great Escape (6)

[Host has entered the Awakening of Judgement]

Rafael heard as he finally opened his eyes. Some time had passed since he had been unconscious. What had happened? How did he lose consciousness out of nowhere? 

Similar questions ranged in Rafael's mind as he rubbed his eyes. However, his confusion deepened further when he became aware of his surroundings.

Darkness.

The whole place, or should he say, the whole Dimension, had been engulfed by darkness.

It felt like a suffocating void, making it hard for Rafael to breathe. The addition of silence only enhanced this feeling further.

'What?' Rafael thought as he tried to move his arm.

Only to find out he couldn't feel where his arm was.

Now that he was aware of his surroundings. He realised something...

All of his senses were blocked.

He couldn't feel where his arms and legs were. That is only possible if all of his senses are blocked.

Dread surged through Rafael's heart as he realised all of this.

Was he dead?

No, that was not possible. No one could die as long as they are in Hell.

And Rafael, an infernal, just knew how huge hell was. It would take years, if not millions of years, for Rafael to escape on foot.

However, a new and unfamiliar feeling soon started to rise within him as he speculated the situation. Rafael's eyebrows widened as he learned what it was...

Déjà vu.

Somehow, he felt a strong sense of deja vu here. A sense he had never experienced before.

Rafael started to go through his memories of the heinous past. Yet, he couldn't find anything.

Until.

He tried to go through the Memories of the Shadow Dragon of Embers.

In the Memory, the Shadow Dragon roared from the Abyss...

Or should he say...

A black hole.

In an instant, Rafael realised what was happening. He had somehow...

Fallen into the depths of a black hole.

One thing Rafael didn't realise before was that he could also feel the Shadow Dragon's emotions in the memory. And the feeling he received from the Shadow Dragon coming out of the black hole in the depths of nothingness.

Was very similar to what he was experiencing now.

However, as Rafael was examining the situation with a sense of deja vu, which was increasing constantly. 

He heard a voice...

[Host will now awaken his Judgement]

Instantly, the suffocating void was illuminated by the purple runes that appeared beneath Rafael. Purple lightning surged throughout the Dimension.

'RUMBLE'

The Dimension quaked under the sheer amount of energy released. Purple sparks of lightning flew in all directions.

Rafael's senses, which were previously blocked, immediately came back much stronger than before. His white hair waved upwards as he looked towards the purple runes beneath him.

What was happening?

First darkness, now these runes?

Similar thoughts appeared in Rafael's mind as his sense of Deja vu got stronger and stronger.

His blue eyes glowed, and so did his white hair. Purple lightning crawled upwards and covered Rafael in various places.

"AH-" Rafael started to scream in sheer agony as the purple hew, released by the purple lightning, pierced its way inside Rafael.

His muscles started to reshape themselves as sparks of purple lightning were absorbed in every part of his body.

In a second, Rafael was hit by a massive rush of energy. Purple lightning illuminated the Dimension. 

[Host's Immortal Essence has evolved into Judgemental Energy]

[Host has unlocked The Judgement of the Unknown]

In an instant, Rafael puked out blood as the purple lightning dissipated, and so did the purple runes.

It was as if nothing had ever happened. 

After a minute or so, He finally stood up and closed his eyes. If one were to observe, he or she could see a tremendous amount of energy coming out of Rafael.

Rafael took a deep breath as he bore through the pain.

Meanwhile, in hell. Everything had returned to normal. The world had shifted itself back horizontally. 

The 10th commander was sitting inside his room. His eyes conveyed apprehension as if he was about to eat a load of faeces.

"Enter"

In a moment, a black demon entered the room. His eyes were cold, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Chief, there are only 3 hours left. The army is ready and is waiting for you at the Gate of Severance."

"Sure enough," The 10th commander said with a deep sigh. In the next moment, he stood up as his aura surged forward, smashing the chairs against the wall.

His whole demeanour changed from a leader to a warrior.

His eyes showed intense killing intent as his bloodlust came out like an ocean. 

"It's time for battle."

-------------------------------------

In the Overworld, several men stood in front of a huge portal. The portal was circle in shape, made of black stone. 

Each of the men had intense aura's, just a little weaker than the 10th commander's. Their eyes narrowed, purely sharp.

Their whole demeanor was that of an experienced warrior. 

"Men! Prepare for battle"
