A thick smoke covered his surroundings as he stood up.
'Just what the'
Before he could complete his thought, red lightning tore the smoke; the sound of a furious roar echoed as the mist became visibly thicker.
Blood drained from Asher's face as he stared ahead. Seven masked men stood, wearing black armor with red lightning cracking around them. Feeling his spine tremble, he looked ahead with a solemn expression.
One of the men with a tachi smiled as another one with an axe let out a small hiss. Asher narrowed his eyes as he observed them; each of them was covered, albeit in a different way.
"What do you want." Asher exclaimed with his pale face. A red-lightening cracked as he said that.
His eyes widened as he slowly turned around.
'what'
A giant dragon rested as thick smoke covered it like clouds, moving as if ethereal. The giant dragon had a pitch-black color filled with various sparkles that shone like stars.
The dragon's cosmic-coloured eyes snapped open. A bloody intent fell over Asher, sweat-soaked him down to his toes.
A moment of silence lay; Asher stood there stunned, staring at the cosmic titan before him. He gripped his hand anxiously, only to realize he had a tachi in his hand.
'How is this possible?' Asher thought as he looked at his white-blade. One of the men behind him, wearing a white shirt beneath his half-worn black jacket, let out a small chuckle.
"I am the Cosmic God of Heavens." One of the men behind him exclaimed in an amusing manner. His lips had curled up as his raven black hair waved.
'Did I hear that right?' Asher thought with eyes widened; a cold bucket of water fell on him as he continued to hear the words.
"Each and every one of us are Gods, Gods of the Unknown Heavens at that."
'Why am I here?' Asher thought as he felt becoming an ant amidst these people. The dragon alone was giving him chills, and yet, the true danger was always in front of him.
"Ah yes, reading minds sure is quite fun." A man on the right exclaimed, his blond hair waved, his eyes hidden beneath his mask.
A bead of sweat trickled down Asher's forehead, feeling his legs giving up. He sat down with the help of his sword. Shivers went up his spine as he lay stunned.
'Unknown Heavens...'
"Yes, you're right." The man with raven black hair spoke once again as his lips curled up even more. His white face and chiseled jawline made him indeed a god amongst men.
"Gods Of The Void." Asher exclaimed, his pupils contracting.
The other men nodded, each one of them smiling. One of them, who was standing with the help of his machete, let out a small sigh as if in relief.
'Is he annoyed.' Asher thought, hoping he was wrong.
The men let out a small chuckle. Asher let out a small 'oh' as he realized that they could hear his thoughts.
Suddenly, Asher's expression filled with fear vanished as a solemn expression appeared, completely different from before.
The black-haired man let out a small 'hoh' as he saw this.
"So let's get to the point, are you my friend or a foe?" Asher said with eyes filled with determination. Gripping his tachi tightly, his senses became alert.
One of the men let out a small chuckle as red lighting cracked the smoky sky. Suddenly, the lightning intensified, and the ground beneath him trembled.
Asher, who was blinded by the sudden lightning, had his eyes widened as he looked in the sky.
A huge red star lay in the sky, and the smoke surrounding it looked like clouds. Red lightning occasionally escaped it, piercing the sky with its bloody might.
The man laughed slightly as he raised his hand towards the sky. The red star trembled as if awaiting his command.
"You think you can match us?" The man said as he pushed his to the ground. The red star immediately moved towards the land. Everyone's hair waved as the wind intensified.
Feeling his flesh burning as the star approached the world. Asher immediately tried to awaken that power from before.
'Wake WAKE!' Asher screamed internally, hoping it would listen to him. Immediately, he felt a course of power rage within him.
A white lightning illuminated the world, a tinge of flames hidden beneath it. His hair waved even more as it turned bright-gold. His eyes also turning into the same color. A tinge of flames convulsed within it, extending into intricate gold runes covering his neck to his hands.
The man with raven-black hair smiled widely. Immediately, he snapped his fingers as black-purple flames suddenly covered the expanse of the world. Black-purple lightning tore the sky apart, along with white and red lightning.
With a grin, he added:
"Let's see Asher Ashborne, if you really are worthy!"
