Demonic Ascension: After 10,000,000 Years, The Lord Abyss Returns

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Time of Distress

" Ten million years ago, during the time of the Saturn Era, there were only three power systems known to mankind, the first two power systems are aura and mana, aura is specific used in battles "

" Auras are engraved in those with natural born talents for warfare "

" But the most common power to possess is an aura, amongst the auras, there are different categories, based on their colors determines their actual strength and it's ranked up in different levels "

" the star ranking system is something I just learnt about in this time, it never existed ten million years ago, the star ranking system was created to grade the auras by their levels, first star is low, second star is intermediate "

" Third Star and above proves the strength of an aura user "

" While there is a vast difference between auras and manas, aura is particularly known for countering the effects of mana, in this world, one can't truly be invisible, there will always be a weakness "

" The weakness of mana is auras and the weakness of auras is mana, both counters eachother, only the stronger one truimphs, but the higher level power system is the skill, the ones that reforms the laws of the world "

" They are the powers known as skills "

Kyle explained, he is seen sitted in his library again, engrossed in the book which talked about the powers of this world, it's an history book written a hundred thousand years ago, found in the ancient times.

" Even in the Saturn Era, the power of skills stands above the heavens, they are what created the most powerful humans at that time and even in this time but it doesn't matter now, there are two new power systems now "

" The power of divinity and the demonic energy " Kyle uttered.

" Ten million years ago, the divine beings reigned on their own, I refused to let humanity reverend and worship them, not even the demon race had a say but to think they are now more influential "

" The twelve churches of the Zodiac, both divinity and the demonic are now official religions in this world, its either one worship the gods of the primal days or the great demons of the ancestral times "

" Tch, this is sure is annoying "

" To think even the great demons benefited from my fall, in the Saturn Era, I was their common enemy, the enemy of every single higher being, what was I called again? the Blackest Evil, Astroth Vermont "

" Once I recover back my true powers, they will pay " Kyle said to himself when he suddenly heard approaching footsteps, he turned his gaze to see Ser Tristan walking into the scene with smiles on his face.

" Ser Tristan? " Kyle called out.

" My liege, it seems you're busy, I came here bringing reports, if you're busy, I should come back later " Ser Tristan said, turning to leave when Kyle stopped him on his track!

" I wasn't busy, was just thinking of something, tell me what report you have for me " Kyle demanded!

" Sure, we rounded up Ravarn soldiers as you ordered and locked them up, they are locked in the prison facility, I personally went to invade and take back the land stolen from you but they were all dead "

" Now both lands have been merged together as you wished " Ser Tristan reported.

" Good, good job.... although our land was cursed by the chief priest but her death revoked the curse, whoever killed her really is our savior, now this land can properly prosper but what about what I requested? " Kyle asked.

" Are you talking about the mage corp? " Ser Tristan asked.

" Yes, I explained to you before didn't I? the Black Corps will be divided into three forces, knight, soldiers and mages, all loyal to my cause and orders, are there any mages in this land? " Kyle asked.

He slowly stood up from his seat, closing the book he held.

" We weren't able to find a single mage in this land " Ser Tristan answered!

" Sure, well it's understandable, you can go continue your work, and Ser Tristan, those prisoners, what are their numbers? " Kyle asked.

" Two thousand, what should be done about them? " Ser Tristan questioned.

" Leave them, and leave the prison facility open for me, I will be paying them a visit tonight, If my mood is quite sour, they will be dying tonight, all of them " Kyle answered, Ser Tristan bowed his head.

Within a few minutes, he left the library, heading back to the Werlock Castle.

" Hmmm, two thousand soldiers, the numbers are quite sufficient considering I have eight thousand souls all rounded up, if i devour them tonight, I can obtain a new skill but this time, it's a skill engraved in the soul "

" A skill that will twist the laws of darkness "

[That Night]

As he requested, the door of the prison was opened for him, and there was not a single guard present, all war captives were locked up in different cells, Kyle approached them, he covered his face with his black hood.

" With all your lifeforces, I can boost my strength a hundred folds, the weakness that this body had will be long gone, to me....you guys are mere foods " Kyle declared, slowly taking off his hood.

He revealed his face but before anything could happen, his eyes glowed.

\Time Stop/

And time was frozen, Kyle approached the first cell, he broke through the bars and within the frozen time, he took his time, absorbing the lifeforce of everyone within that cell, the more lifeforce he absorbed.

the more absolute his body became!

There were twenty cells, each cells contained a hundred prisoners of war, Kyle took his time absorbing all the souls from every cell within the time stop period, it took him two hours to finish.

He stared at the corpses of all two thousand prisoners of war, he took a deep breath when a sigh escaped his lips, Kyle turned his gaze, his face became even more beautiful and his silver hair became longer.

Kyle became taller and more muscular!

" Body Reforming Art, it's still sufficient, by converting lifeforces into pure energy, I can reform my body true the body reforming art, perfecting my mortal body and my physical prowess " Kyle said when he noticed something.

" What is this? " He asked himself.

He weaved a single hand sign, focusing on the blood pressure which covered his body, he could feel his bones breaking down, Kyle fell aggressively on his knees, he screamed out in pains, spitting out black bloods from his mouth.

His eyes glowed brightly, expanding the darkened light across space.

" Tch, Enzerath.... what's happening to me? " Kyle questioned when Enzerath manifested a shadowed humaniod form, appearing before his master when he stretched forth his hand, his eyes glowed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

" It seems you totally forgot that I mentioned your soul was corrupted by the abyss, you're in the state of being demonified, while using the body reforming art, your cells fought eachother, killing eachother "

" Cells died and cells were born "

" But amongst the cells that formed newly within your body, demonic cells takes the lead, your body is slowly being overwritten by the dna of a demon, you are ten percent a demon right now " Enzerath explained.

" He-he-he-he, it's quite shocking isn't it? It doesn't matter if I became a demon or anything, as long as it isn't one of those bastards above, I'm fine with whatever i became in this world, the one who slays the gods will be me "

" If I have to become a demon in other to carry out my revenge, so be it " Kyle stated, he slowly rose up to his feets when Enzerath smirked, he took a few steps, approaching his creator when he stretched forth his hand.

He touched the forehead of Kyle with a single finger!

" What are you doing? Enzerath " Kyle asked with a confused look written on his face!

" That's not the complete explanation, I did tell you that some cells were born right? amongst the cells which newly formed within you, there's only a single percent od immortal cells within your body "

Enzerath explained!

" Immortal cells? What are you talking about Enzerath? " Kyle asked.

" Its nothing, you will figure that later, when the time is right, you should devour all this souls and awaken another skill " Enzerath stated, vanishing into nothing when Kyle lets out a sigh, and he turned.

" Yh.....It's time to have my feast "

" Dark Magic: Soul Gathering! " Kyle chanted, casting a long range spell, he devoured all the souls belonging to the two thousand dead war captives, once the process was completed, he sacrificed ten thousand souls.

Awakening a new skill!!
