394 The World Descends Into Chaos Part 1
Sotis I wonder if things happen for a reason. I wonder if it is because of the things I have done in my life that things happen in such a way that I am left without many options. I wonder if it is because of this that I am stuck here now, as I step out of the palace a large beam of light incinerates half of the lower capital, firing straight up into the sky turning night into day as my barrier shatters into dust.
The light was like an anatomic bomb going off as it rose high into the air leaving behind absolute nothingness. There was no shock wave. There was no wind. Only the sound of the shatter of my barrier and the scene of millions of lives disappearing right before my eyes.
What did the people of my empire do to deserve such an end? What did they do to be killed for no reason? The people I worked with for so long at my factories were now gone. Tryu and his sister. The entire east side slums, were gone in the blink of an eye.
I had no bad blood with the undead kingdom. I never once wanted to provoke them. But this was too much. Why? Why were my people dying for no reason? “Why!!!!!!???” I yelled out at the top of my lungs. I couldn’t take this. I couldn’t stand the people I knew dying one after the other for no reason. Is it because of ? Am I a bane to those who are around ? Am I so kind of plague that no matter where I go brings nothing but death and destruction to those I care for? Will my own family be next?
“Heh…. Hahaha!” My mind slowly sank into nothingness. I felt cold, and I felt the world around slowly descending into darkness. “You dare…. You dare harm my people!? You dare harm the ones I care about!?”
“Faith!” I could hear Diablo calling out my na, but I was in no mood to listen as I shot into the air.
In my mind’s sea, I sat in the white space curled up into a ball. In front of , smiling away, was another . “Do you want revenge? Do you want your enemies destroyed? Let take over, and I will destroy everything that stands in your way.”
“Leave alone. I will not let you have my body.” I replied, but I could already feel my mind sinking deeper. Through my eyes, below was a massive hole that was tens of miles wide in all directions, and coming from that huge hole were millions, maybe even billions, of undead. They were flooding out and moving in all directions attacking and murdering everything and everyone they ca across.
I waved my hand and cast a barrage of fireballs into the hole, but they were stopped easily by a strong barrier. “Haha!” A familiar laugh ca from within the hole. I looked down to see five figures slowly rise up from the hole. Each one with purple lines on their skin. “It’s been a while, my little friend, but hmmm… You are not very strong now, are you?”
“Faith!” Diablo showed up beside as well as Iena and Freidinia. When Diablo saw the man in the middle of the five people, his brow furrowed: “Azengrade!”
“That it is. I am happy you still rember . I am the General of the Altorians. It is a pleasure to et you officially. To think that we would et so soon, well… Maybe not since I had planned to wait a little longer, but I got word you are using an interesting bit of technology and wanted to check it out for myself. Of course, this is just a lie” Azengrade smiled a toothy grin.
“Why? Why are you killing innocent people!?” I yelled out. I should be attacking. I should be trying to stop these bastards, but I still did not understand they would kill so many.
“Hmmm? Cattle to the cause are nothing more than a ans of fulfilling our goals. You see. We only want one thing.” Azengrade slowly raised and pointed his finger at as he smiled sinisterly. “We want you to die.”
I was confused. I did not understand why he wanted , of all people, to die. This made no sense since I had never t him before the ti in the dungeon. “? Why ? What have I done?”
“What have you done?! You do not know!?” Azengrade expression turned cold. “You, of all people, should know what you have done. Because of you…. Because of you….”
“General! Why waste ti!? Let’s just kill her now!” Teladeadja cried out as his hands changed into sharp claws.
“I will not let you!” Diablo suddenly shot forward with Freidinia. I wanted to reach out and stop him, but a voice in my head was screaming at . Screaming so loudly that I couldn’t even think straight.
“Shut up!” I yelled out as I held my head and stumbled backward. The ancient will in my mind was crushing my thoughts.
“Let out! Let out! You can not handle them! You will only kill more of your people!” The other yelled out over and over. My head was pounding. The pain was stopping from taking any action.
“Shut up! You are in the way!” I yelled out as I shook my head and hit it with my fists. If I could, I would reach in and rip the bitch out of my head!
“Faith.” Iena, who was at my side, called out to . But as I looked up at her concerned face, I saw it…. A splash of blood and a claw pierced through Iena’s chest.
“Iena!? Iena!?” My eyes went wide as the hand retracted and Iena’s body fell limp into my arms. I turned and looked at Teladeadja, who was standing there licking his bloody claw with a smile on his face. It was then that the world around turned blood red…..
“Hahahahha! I am finally freee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
