"ALL THOSE WHO REMAINS SHALL BOW BEFORE THE DEMON CLAN TO EMBRACE AND REMEMBER THIS DAY!!!"
"AS THE LAST!!!!"
"DAY!!!!"
"OF ALL RACEEESSS!!!!!!!!"
The destroyed academy, the students and teachers and instructors, the Ruthwilfers. All of them witness the horror happening infront of them.
Domikhael said aloud with pride. Knowing full well that no one can stand in his way. He turned his head to Dante's lifeless body, eyes wide open. He walked up to him and gazes at him.
"My humble condolences, Dante. You put up a good fight against me and Taouon." Domikhael summon his longsword from the ground as it levitates to his hand. "But this is where it ends."
Domikhael raises his blade at Dante's lifeless body and strike it hard in a impale position. Sending dust and cracks to the ground.
"The hell?" Domikhael eyes widen to see that dust clears, only to see Lytharis was on him. Lytharis was impaled to the chest with Dante together.
"Puahhk!" Lytharis coughs out a lot of blood.
"NOOO!!!" Taouon yelled at Domikhael. "YOU IDIOT!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!" Taouon was in rage. Both of them argue.
Lytharis cried hard, her life was fading. "Dante... . Hic..." droplets of her tears drop at Dante's face. His eyes imprinted on Lytharis dying state.
"Dante...." Lytharis eyes fading to death before she has her absolute saying.
"Dante, on the first day we met. You took me by storm. You fed me, protected me, played with me when we were ten. I'm grateful for the fun time we have. With you, Zhurong. You two were my only friends I had. But more than that, I loved you."
She coughed up more blood but held on and continued.
"I love you so so much. I wanted to confess to you today. But look now, hehehe...." She cry more. "I dont wanna die. I wanna be with you. I wanna eat your cooking, your treats, I wanna have a peaceful life with you and Zhurong. I don't care if you marry the two of us. I just want you."
Lytharis time was almost up, she leaned down and gave a deep long kiss to Dante. "My first kiss, belongs to my only man. My Dan...teee....."
Lytharis view was going fader by the second. Before her last breath. She uses her final will of magic and open her chest wider. The wound tore out.
"AAAAHHH!!!" She screamed in pain. She use her magic and finally took out her infinity mana. Her foundation. With her last bit of strength. She shoved it into Dante"s chest which has a big hole on it.
"MY FINAL DEATH GIFT TO YOU, DANTE!!!"
The ground burst into a whirlwind, as purple, red, and black energy was flowing into him. Dante's wound's were all healed up. Except his chest. The big gap hole was still there.
Domikhael and Taouon heard Lytharis scream. They both turned to see what she was about to do to her rare mana foundation. "NO! The infinity mana foundation!!!"
But they were too late.
"No matter what you do Dante." Lytharis muttered. "Fight!" Lytharis lay down on top of him. Snuggling into him one last time as her final resting. "Dan....te.e.... . I...love...you.. ."
Her eyes closed, her breath stopped, her body is lifeless.
Lytharis has died in Dante's arms.
"Tch, pathetic." Taouon said to himself as he walked up to the two lifeless body. "Stupid elf girl, you can't use your foundation on a dead body." He said.
Taouon kneeled down and was about to take the infinity mana foundation back to the new young demon king Malric.
Until a spear stopped him. "Arrgghh!!! Who is it now?!!" Taouon turned to see another elf. An army of elf has came from a summoned portal. Stand before him was a woman beautiful with big chest, curvy figure but has a battle on her left eye.
"Get you filty hand's off my DAUGHTERR!!!" She screamed in pain. Her looked at Lytharis dead body as she clings on Dante.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!!!" She burst countless raging magic like platoons at Taouon and Domikhael.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The damage they're taking was intense. "So this is the power of a high elf. She's worse than the Sin of Wrath faced her 100 years back." Taouon thought.
"DOMIKHAEL, RAIN OF FIRE!!! SOUND THE HORNS!!!"
With that Domikhael blow the horn. A ginormes portal appeared. Thousand's of thousands of demon came runing out from the portal. High ranking to low. They all came.
"Hahaha!!!" Domikhael laughed, "Now this is what a war be like—!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The demon's fly from the unkown explosions. "Look's like we came in time." Floating before them from behind were the king and queen of the dragon clan. King Giang and Queen Xilang.
"Dragon clan!!!" Domikhael spouts in rage to see the two figures and they're own army of dragon's.
"Where's Zhurong, my love?" Xilang panting in worried for her daughter and only child. Giang searches and found her out cold by the rubble but were tended by the students of dragon's from the academy. "Hahaha, she safe my—, Xilang?"
Giang see Xilang eyes widened in shock, Giang looks at her direction. Dante, dead and breathless. Giang suddenly huffs in rage.
Xilang's claws grew sharper. Both of them had respect for Dante's worth back when he was 9 years old during the ballroom incident in the Ruthwilfer estate. And he protected Zhurong back then.
The armies have assembled. Human, elfs, and dragons kin all together. The other side were the demon's all ready to kill and go rampage.
"ATTACK!!!" Taouon yells to the demon army as they all run towards the other side of the army. Five gigantic serpents burst out from the ground and sliter together with the demon clan.
"RRAAGGGHH!!!!" The other side of the army went all out. Two side clashes at each other. A war has begun all. Fina using her bits of strenght and magic. Teleport to Dante and Lytharis body. She picked them up and teleport again to the Ruthwilfer's side.
Diana notice that and ran to them. "Fina!" Diana stammers. Slided to her knee and checks on all three of them. Fina passed out but muttered at her lady. "I'm sorry my Lady. This bodyguard has failed you."
Diana looks at Dante's big hole on his chest. Then to Lytharis. She begins to heal both of them as much as possible. But was no use. She use her life enegry instead but failed. She has wasted two years of her lifespan.
The high elf notice that her daughter, Lytharis is with Diana. She teleported quickly to her. "Move away!" Diana jolted by the suprised presence of the high elf.
"Queen Milan,". Yup, that's the high elf priestess name and Queen to the Elf Clan. "Your healing ability is not strong enough, Diana." She said.
Milan uses her acient kind of healing magic. But still, nothing has changed. Though Lytharis wounds were healed up. She expected her daughter to awake. But nothing.
"Why...!" She muttered. Milan searches for the mistakes until she felt it. Her mana foundation was gone. "Where is her mana foundation!" She asked herself in frustration.
She remembered a few minutes back where Lytharis was lay on Dante. She turns to Dante's lifeless body and begin searching him. Until it glows dark mana. "By mera's grace." Milan gasped in realization.
"My daughter has Infinity Mana foundation, and she gave her own core to this child?!" She voice raised many question.
Milan then uses her magic. But not healing kimd. Diana felt that and teleport Dante to her arms. "The hell are you doing to him, Queen Milan." Diana in rage.
"The infinity mana foundation belongs to my daughter! Not to you human's!!" She yelled.
Diana clinged tightly to Dante. As if she was holding on to her own child. "We're at war and your choice is to rip out a foundation on this boy who save your daughter?!" Diana scoffed in dibelief to how the Elf Clan only cared about their own culture and believes. "How mighty the Elf Clan has corruptly becoming!"
Milan flares in rage. "You dare!!!"
"Yes I dare!!!" Shouted Diana. But something slided out of Dante's pockets to the ground. A vial shaped but a big red dot on the top. A button.
"What is that?" Curious, Diana picked it up and press the red button.
"BBOOOMMM!!!" All presence see the academy exploded. Something flew up in the air. Many followed up as well. Hundred's of them. The ground suddenly shook.
A slither was formed from the ground. A gigantic figure burst out from the soil.
"KKKIIIEEGGGHH!!!" A gigantic snake like metal being creamed in rage.
"The hell in mira's grace is this?" The high elf Milan eyes widen. The hundred figure flew down. They were flying armours.
The demons, elfs, humans, dragons. All looked at the object levitating. By the center of the armours chest of these figure. Held a huge chunk on mana crystal's eteched into their plates.
"These are..." Diana muttered to realize what they were. She has seen them a few years back. Flashing back to where Dante was 13 as he show Diana his metal armour's of plates which he told was a working progress.
Then Diana notice a skeleton like metal in the room Dante bought using his gold earned from his chocolate creation. Though he did not reveal his otherworldy life to her yet.
Back to where is happening. Diana chuckled under her breath and looks at Dante's lifeless body and brushes his black hair aside "So that what you meant when you said 'everybody need's a hobby', huh?"
All the metallic figures searches for something. Someone that is. Until they notice him. Dante, they're creator.
"They're eyes turn red. So did the gigantic metal snake. They scanned the area. All locks are on demon kins only.
"Commence 'Operation: K.A.D'". Said all the droids in the air at the same time. 'K.A.D . As in 'Kill All Demons'. The metallic snake screams in wrath to see Dante, its creator dead. It too, was on lock mode.
Lady Diana realize the ally's would attack them. She uses telephatic magic to warn them all. "Everyone hearing me!" Said telepath them all, except the demon clan since they were the enemies.
"The metallic things are Dante's forgery. Don't attack or destroy them. Their ally's to us!!!"
The droids engage. From the droids palm burst plasma energy at the demons. One flew at a straight direction killing all demons in its path. Another notice one of the elf was about to be killed until it flew straight and ripped the demon in half.
"T..thanks." The elf muttered. The android didn't replied since they were all programmed by Dante and only Dante.
Another android drop big missle explosions at the demons, sending them flying and burning them to crisps of ashes.
"The hell are these fly's." Domikhael was pissed by the flying objects of Dante's creations. "It's must be that boy Dante's doing." Said Taouon.
"How's that possible?! The boy is dead!!"
"Must be by death triggered alarmed by these things." Said Taouon as he caught one and destroy's it. But he heard a beeping sound. The armour burst to an heavy and wide explosion.
"ARRGHH!!" Taouon felt the burn. Leaving burnt marks permanently on his skin.
"I had enough of this!!!" Domikhael found the out cold Lustia, the Sinner of Lust. He grabs her. "Wake up, you whore!"
He dhakes her up and Lustia eyes open back. "Umm..., Domikhael? What happened?" She asked in dazed. Until she sees the battle before her. The field was on a warzone.
"What is hell's name is—Urk!" She got grabbed by the neck by Domikhael. "What are you doing?!" She tried to break free.
"Forgive me, but be blessed that your doing your due for his young highness." Domikhael tighten his grip on her.
"No..urk....you wouldn't." She relaliaze what was going to happen. "You only got yourself to blame. Being so weak." Domikhael uttered mockery at her.
"I sacrificed everything after hundreds of years, thousands of life, my friends, my diginity, my first, I killed my own lover just to get to to where I am! And this is what I get?!" She spat on Domikhael's face.
"Heh? Sacrifice?" Domikhael chuckled mokery at her.
"I sacrifice for myself. Not for the demon clan. I am Domikhael! Sinner of Pride! And I don't care about your stupidity." With a move of his grip. He cracked broke Lustia's neck. Domikhael rips out her clothes and tore her chest open to take her mana foundation.
He channel it and fuse it with his. "For the glory of the demon clan..." he muttered with a smirked. Lustia, flesh torn. A single tear rolled down her cheek. Regret? Revenge? Or shame?
"RRRAAGGHH!!!" Domikhael burst intense mana and now looks different. His eyes were red, his body was gold but crimson. His longsword looks even more demonic.
With one swung, all half of the life were perished in the battlefield. Including his own demon kind. "Now where are you, Dante..."
Domikhael muttered, his tone was of a monster. He closed his eyes and begin smelling for Dante's scent. "I can smell you, boy!" His eyes flashed open. And leap in blink of an eye straight to the Ruthwilfers side.
"Found you." Said grinned. Both Diana and Milan were eyes widened by the speed. "Like hel I would let you hurt my boy!" Diana atack but was shoved aside harder and flew to the crates. Blood cough out.
Milan watches that gritted her teeth and unleash fury of magic. "Go back to where you cam—Urk!"
Her neck got caught by Domikhael. "Heh, weak." He tossed her hard, crashing to the ground as it struck rubbles.
"Time to end these nonsense." Domikhael took Dante's lifeless body by his shirt. And was about to do the same thing like what he did to the demon Lustia. But this time, he will give the infinity mana foundation to his king. Malric, the new and young king to the demon clan.
"Dante.... ." Diana muttered as she watches the horror was about to happen. Her tears were welling up, life's with Dante where when he was young till the age on 15 and her at 47, were flashing before her very eyes.
"DANTEE!!!!" Her screamed echoed as Domikhael lunges in for the rip.
CAUGHT!
"What in taion's mercy?!" Domikhael gasped. Diana heared Domikhael's muttered, tilted her head up and eyes widened.
Dante's hand single-handedly caught Domikhael's claws.
Read, purple, blue, and black were surging with ferocious mana in Dante's body. Dante move his head up to Domikhael's face to face but eyes closed.
Domikhael felt something. Something he never felt after hundred's of years sealed of the demon clan. He remembered being defeated by a figure. A man. A very godly but demonic man. His shadow grew bigger as it form a holy goddess otherworldly behind him.
And Dante was giving that same exact fear in him. Fear Domikhael forgotten. Fear that made him sweat. Fear that tremble and shake him to the core that he wishes to kill himself but was a wuss to do it.
Something was bulging out of Dante's forehead.
"No...., please not that! Anything but that!!!" Domikhael thought in fear. A line was cutting itself out of Dante's forehead. Blood was dripping down, bathing his face.
His eyes were soaking on his own blood, eyes were getting fully red, he didn't flinch. Dante's face was fully bathed with his blood from his forehead of his third eye.
Until Dante open's all his eyes, including his third eye on his forehead and whispered quietly to him in a calm but raging, wrathful and malice-like tone.
"Big mistake."
BOOM!!!
BURST!!!
The ground shattered, all the bodies scattered like papers. The land became a death valley as the rubbles flew everywhere to the point of nothingness.
At the demon realm, Malric. The new and young demon clan felt it and jolted up from his studies. His mother, the current demon queen Malvera notice her son's behavior.
"My boy? What's going on?" She asked.
Malric reply'd with a grin. "I sense it, mother." He said to her. "I sense, the 'the god of human's'."
Domikhael, Taouon, Giang, Xilang, all those who can withstand it hold their grounds. But failed as they as well scattered to the whirlwind.
The aired cleared. The sky turn black, lightning rages as rain poured ragingly to the battlefield.
Domikharl was first to escape the rubble.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
He staggered up to see the view before him. A wasteful land of emptiness. Then, he felt the raging mana of no end. He turned and see's Dante, sitting on the lifeless bodies of demons, towered like a mountain of scraps with a leg on his knee and hands rested on it.
His dark skin is alll white now, his hair, so black and long to his legs that no shading nor sunlight can be seen. Skulls, limbs, tendons of demons, all hanging around his neck like a garland. Black eyes with white pupil were staring at Domikhael straight up like a demonic figure that can make a person not bear to watch or see the horrifyingness of it.
Flame-like tattoos etched into his skin. Though his long black pants and the shirt he tied around his waist was still attached to him tight. Now became one with him. Black flame-like aura was oozing out of him.
His forehead, another eyes was there. A third eye was raging in red of blood. The blood on his forehead on his third eyes was like a burst splattered on him.
"Who are you...?" Muttered by Domikhael.
"Who am I?" Dante said in a mocking yet hateful and vengeful tone but smiled. He leaped. Just a blink of an eye.
He was standing face to face at Domikael again. "Is this yours?" Dante offered an arm to him. Domikhael realize who's arm Dante given him.
It was Domikhael's own arm. He turned to see his left arm was gone. A clean silent cut. No sounds, just pure quietness.
Domikhael leaped back in fear and fix his arm back with healing magic.
I ASK YOU AGAIN!!!!" He yelled, his longsword was ready. Griping tightly so hard and it form black and blue on his skin. "WHO ARE YOUU!!!"
"Hihihihihi....."
"Hehehehe...!"
"Hahahaha....!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA....!!!!!!!!!"
Dante's laughs echoed throughout the field. Some were able to got out of the rubble and see's Dante's horrifying form.
Diana eyes shocked and scared by the scene before her. Giang, Xilang, and Zhurong's eyes werw covered by Giang watches the scene in shakened.
"Such intense pressure.... ." Giang muttered.
"It could be on par with millions of heavenly gods... ." Xilang was scared, but focus by the scene before her.
Evan, looks in horror. "How is this possible. Such powerful in him." He thought, comparing it to his own son Taka. "Is this really his true mana foundation?"
Will and Avabel Ruthwilfer crawled out from the ground. They heard the echoed laugh and see's the white figure.
"Is that...?" Avabel gasped in rage.
Will was schocked the most. To see his illigemate son in this horrifying form. "Blake.... ." He thought. Remebering the time her ordered his sister Avabel to kill Dante's mother Blake. Who he learnt that she'a a dark mage.
"What kind of son did you gave birth to....?"
Back to where Dante was laughing like a insane maniac. He took a breather and answered Domikhael's question.
"It's been years since someone like a demon asking me who am I." He folded his arms.
"Who am I you ask?" Dante said. Giving a wink gesture.
"No..!!! Noooo..!!!" Domikhael realised it too late based on the tone and the way that Dante was speaking.
"Hahahaha....!!!! Music to my ears!!!! Music to my fucking ears of your peasant cry, demon." Dante claps mockingly to Domikhael's reaction. And announces himself out loud like a possessed maniac-like being.
"I"
"AM"
"KILAMAHIIIIII !!!!"
Thunder struck loud noises, the ground burst of Dante's laughter turn into a gigantic cobweb line as the crowd descents to chaos. That the day came that feared by all races.
The Goddess of War has risen from the unknown.
"AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
