Prologue
Helfuryon charged out of his temple archway onto the elevated platform two holy farseers were standing on, one was kneeling in front of the other one summoning a protection circle, Helfuryon came to a stop behind the first farseer his paladin armour wasn’t going to be anywhere near thick enough to stop him from forcing his Chaosruned War Palm through him. The clawed fist burst out of the farseers chest paralyzing him, blood exploded everywhere as he wrapped his claws around the kneeling farseers head and squeezed so hard the claws dug into his skull. Helfuryon then pulled his arm back through the first farseer bringing with him the second now screaming farseer, when the screaming farseer was halfway through the first he crushed his head silencing him immediately then wrapped his left arm around the paralyzed farseer pulling him in close, then wrapping his right arm with the War Palm around his neck.
"You will not hurt my family paladin!" Helfuryon growled, his deep rasping voice sending chills down his captives spine.
"I...might not... but they...will" The holy farseer said coughing up blood and looking down at the two groups of holy farseers at the bottom of the temple steps. Helfuryon looked down and growled pulling his hand across the farseers neck giving him four perfectly spaced ear to ear slits blood sprayed from the farseers throat wounds, Helfuryon then kicking the two farseers down his temple steps. When the bodies hit the ground a Holy farseer with six wings folded around his body stepped forward.
"Devil, hand over your family, you have been banished and deserve no such pleasures as raising your young" The angel yelled in a huge booming voice pointing a huge gold and silver lance up at Helfuryon. Helfuryon looked down at the Chaosruned War Palm, he looked at the silver black claws dripping with red blood, at the skulls that covered his knuckles then past his spiked wrist at then the ram skull protecting his elbow its horns curling around on either side of its head, it was a gift from Rhyodin before his ascent and turning into an ethereal Chaos Overlord, he looked down at the holy farseer and flipped him off.
"How about you come take them" An unnaturally deep voice screamed from Helfuryon’s right he looked around and saw Cariondyte walking forwards out of the same temple archway, Cariondyte was a huge demon he stood around twenty foot tall, his eyes were sunken so far into his skull they were barely visible his eyeballs were completely black, his nose had completely disappeared and in its place were two holes in the middle of his face, he had no lips covering his jagged teeth and horns protruded out of the side of his head curled up and then back. Cariondyte was a deep grey colour and incredibly heavily built his biceps were the size of large beach balls his forearms made pine tree trunks look like twigs, his chest was as thick as an oak tree and a huge white scar crossed from his right shoulder to his left hip, the only armour covering Cariondyte was a chain mail loin-cloth. A chain hung around his left hip a skull was attached to the chain unholy green and black smoke emitting from its eye sockets, his legs were as thick as stone pillars and his thighs were covered in heavy blood red plate armour, his legs bent back and then bent forwards again like huge grey fawn legs ending in black hooves, giant black wings folded across his back and a huge snaking tail following in his wake.
"Still wearing that armour I see" Cariondyte said examining Helfuryon from head to toe with a look of disgust on his face.
"Yeah I am, not everyone has carbon for skin you know" Helfuryon replied in a matter of fact tone. Helfuryon wore thick black plated armour that was so sleek it looked robotic, there was a gold trim over his heavily built greaves, and his knee guards were silver skulls red energy pulsing from their eyes, his upper thighs hidden under a chain mail loin-cloth much like Cariondyte’s. The armour protecting Helfuryon’s chest and stomach was incredibly thick and a silver breast plate had been fitted over the first layer on his chest with blood now splattered over it from the dead farseers, his shoulder plates were huge balls of spikes human skulls had been stabbed down onto some of them and twisted black armour covered his left arm ending in a spiked gauntlet, the Chaosruned War Palm covering this right forearm with no armour between that and his shoulder plate.
"So be it" Ziladias called waving for the two groups of farseers to run up the steps of the temple towards the two demons, with an almighty battle cry that sounded like thunder the farseers ran lances held toward the bigger of the two demons, Cariondyte responded by roaring so loudly and deeply it made the whole temple shudder, the huge demon opening a black portal in the ground and plunging his arms into it, he then pulled them out bringing with them in each hand a huge two handed mace, the handles were easily six foot long and the mace head was the size of an elephants skull, the head was perfectly round and four axe heads protruded from the front, back and sides of each mace, there were silver ram heads visible between the gaps of the axe heads and the horns of the rams bent straight up. Cariondyte leapt down the steps taking them five at a time, he met the farseers before they were even a quarter of the way up kicking the first one in the face and sending him flying off the temple steps into the ground quite a distance being the holy Apostle Ziladias who just stood there glaring up at him. The second, third and fourth farseer were the first angels to meet the maces Cariondyte lifting them both over his head and bringing them down as hard as he could on top of the angels the maces had so much force behind them they smashed the steps leading up the temple the steps becoming vertical pillars, blood exploded up onto Cariondyte completely drenching his chest in blood, a farseer saw the opportunity to strike while Cariondyte’s weapons were lodged in the ground, he thrust forward with his lance, Cariondyte tensed his stomach muscles as the lance hit his stomach it made the sound of nails scratching a whiteboard mixed with grinding metal, the farseer looked at the lance, its tip had bent on the demons tensed stomach, the farseer looked back up at the demons face and took a step back between the two vertical pillars that use to be steps. The second group of farseers had retreated and now stood behind Ziladias the last farseers sprinting back down the temple steps to join them, Cariondyte had sandwiched the farseer between the two pillars and then picked up his maces and was now standing on the ground fifty meters from where Ziladias and his farseers stood, his maces rested on his shoulders.
"You should leave now angel before I kill you and your paladins" Cariondyte growled swinging his maces around finding a place to hold them comfortably.
Ziladias smiled up at the demon and raised his arms his hands began glowing golden yellow and spread his wings his eyes filling with the same glowing light at his hands.
“Paladins of the holy farseer council in this time of reckoning, Aid me and my fellow angels into battle” Ziladias called his voice booming sounding like thunder, white portals were opening everywhere, behind Ziladias paladins emerge from the portals and drew their lances, when the portals had closed easily fifty thousand paladins stood awaiting orders from their commander.
“I see you’re trying to have all the fun without me” A voice filled with fire and rage erupted from behind Cariondyte, the huge demon looked around to see his younger brother walking up to him.
“Novaseramond, I wouldn’t dream of fighting the angles without you by my side after all I need a score keeper” Cariondyte called mockingly to his brother, Novaseramond always sounded angry he was the avatar of Chaos his skin had the same grey colour as his brothers, it was carbonised the only difference was Novaseramond’s skin was covered in huge glowing cracks, Novaseramond wasn’t as heavily built as his older brother so he wore greaves and Battle fists to make up for it in battle, where Novaseramond lacked in strength and brutality he more than made up for it in magical ability. Novaseramond’s greaves looked something like Helfuryon’s but thicker and they were also covered in flames the same went for his Battle fists they were black clawed hands with spikes protruding all the way around his wrists these also flamed but molten steel dripped from the palms and hissed when it connected with the blood soaked ground around Cariondyte. Novaseramond had no horns on his head and flames flowed down his back looking like waist long burning red hair that licked at the wind as it passed, he didn’t have wings like his older brother he could fly by raising the temperature of the air around him until it lifted him up.
“You two, can you hold them off long enough for me to get Jessca and my son to safety” Helfuryon called down from the top of the temple.
“Pfft no problem” Both demons said in unison.
“We aren’t called avatars for no reason” Cariondyte said flexing his muscles making him look like he was about burst if he tensed any harder.
“Thank you” Helfuryon called back and then turning into the temple archway, when he made it to the central chamber he saw his wife sitting on a huge mat in the centre of the room cradling a baby in her arms the baby was wrapped in a thick white blanket and giggling as his mother ticked his sides.
“Jessca you have to leave it’s not safe here, I’m sending you to earth” Helfuryon said helping his wife up and kissing her on the cheek. Jessca started gathering things up from around the room while Helfuryon summoned a portal to earth, once Jessca had gathered all she needed the ran over to the portal, before she jumped in Helfuryon hugged her and kissed his baby son on the head.
“I’m going to miss you” Helfuryon said as Jessca stepped into the portal and started to disappear.
“We’ll miss you too” Jessca replied a crimson tear running down her pale cheek and onto her white dress. Ziladias charged into the room and pointed his lance at Helfuryon.
“Move!” He screamed drawing his sword of Holy Righteousness and spreading his wings revealing golden armour with a silver trim around the chest plate and greaves, the wings were suppose to help Ziladias intimidate Helfuryon. He responded by closing the portal off.
“Make me” Helfuryon spat turning into a shadow and flying out of the room landing back outside where he materialized. Helfuryon looked out over the battle taking place at the bottom of the temple.
Novaseramond was in the air blasting the farseers with small suns that exploded when they hit the ground, he was creating the suns by materializing them in his right hand and throwing them over arm at the grounded farseers laughing at their attempts to retaliate by throwing small hammers of light back up at him, Novaseramond then took his left hand and created a sun in that hand, keeping his already materialized sun in his right hand then slowly beginning to spin as he got faster he got brighter until he was a huge sun with two smaller ones orbiting him he then shot the two suns down at her ground one missing completely the other catching a farseer in the back blowing his back open and smashing him into the ground, four suns took the place of the last two and then fired themselves off then another eight materialized and shot off, this kept happening until suns were raining down all over the battle field, most of the farseers activated protective holy shields over their left arm and then grouped together creating turtle shield of holy energy over the battlefield, when Novaseramond stopped spinning the whole barren wasteland in front of the temple had been obliterated craters every few feet smoked from the punishing rain of suns. Cariondyte had taken refuge in the air spreading his huge black wings and flying up to avoid being blown apart by his smaller brothers attack, Cariondyte touched back down as the farseers were breaking from their turtle formations and charging at the huge demon who charged back with a guttural roar and slammed his maces down on the two closest farseers who were crushed instantly the ground around them cracking and huge chunks of ground becoming vertical like the steps did on the temple, a farseer jumped at Cariondyte who saw him out the corner of his eye and flicked his wing open hitting the farseer with the force of a baseball bat not seriously hurting him but stunning him and flicking him up into the air giving the huge demon long enough to swing one of his maces around and hit him as he came down, this attack didn’t hit him with the force of a baseball bat it hit with such force it may have been a eighteen wheeler truck sending the farseer screaming into another group of farseer trying to throw holy hammers at Novaseramond who was batting them away with the back of his palms. Another farseer ran up behind Cariondyte he jumped onto his back and stabbed his lance into his back this time it sunk about a meter in because the demon hadn’t expected the attack and hadn’t tensed, the huge demon roared in pain and swung his head around the tip of his horn catching the farseer in the side of his unprotected head Cariondyte then dropped a mace and grabbed the farseer and threw him to the ground then pinned him to the ground with his huge hoofed foot as he ripped the lance out black coagulated blood erupted from the wound he then rammed the lance into the farseers head then he picked up his mace again and walked over to another group of farseers, as he walked a group of farseers on his right threw out ropes of holy energy which wrapped themselves around the demons right arm, another group did the same on his left side, both groups started pulling trying to get Cariondyte to the ground.
“What are you doing” The huge grey demons said pulling his arms together pulling both groups off their feet, they quickly got up and started pulling, more and more groups joining in on trying to take the huge demon down wrapping holy binds around both his legs and his neck. Novaseramond saw what was happening and tried to go help his older brother but more groups came after him as well the holy binds catching his legs and bringing him slamming into the ground. Two farseers jumped up onto Cariondyte’s back and stabbed their lances into his arms making him finally fall to the ground one of the farseers that stabbed him jumped off his back and landed on the ground in front of Cariondyte.
“I call fourth the holy gods to bind this demon” The farseer called out in a booming voice, huge beams of light emitted from the ground around the fallen demon and turned into armour, Cariondyte was becoming weaker by the second the armour he was now wearing exhausted him he couldn’t even tense to protect himself.
“Get away from him” Novaseramond screamed getting up and flying up into the air bringing with him the farseers that were holding his legs with the binds he looked down and saw what was still attached to him and disintegrated the farseers in two jets of flame erupting from his palms and then slamming his hands together when he brought them apart a ring of fire materialized and grew the further apart as Novaseramond’s stretched his arms until his arms were spread as far as they could go.
“Stop now demon or we will kill him” The farseer called up from Cariondyte’s back, he had removed the lance from Cariondyte arm and now had it pointing at the back of his head. Novaseramond released the flaming halo it dispersed instantly a huge heat wave was felt by everyone on the battle field, Novaseramond sank back down to the ground and fell to his knees letting the farseers tie him down, he had lost all will to fight now that his brother had been caught, there was no need for the weakening armour.
“Well that was over quickly” Ziladias said emerging from the temple archway and walking up behind Helfuryon coming to a stop next to him, Helfuryon didn’t look back at him as Ziladias turned his head and smiled at him.
“Well we didn’t get your family but we got something just as important” Ziladias said smirking and spreading his six wings taking off, Helfuryon reached out with his Palm grabbing Ziladias by the leg as he took off, Ziladias turned meeting Helfuryon’s gaze of pure rage and hatred, Helfuryon swung the Apostle around in the air and smashing him into the archway wall so hard Ziladias came out the other side with an explosion of stone he then swung Ziladias down smashing the back of his head on the corner of the first step and then swung him up and into the wall of the temple wall and pinned him to it holding his throat in his huge clawed palm, he then drew the Devils fang from its resting place on his back, the devils fang was a black sword its hilt was a skull with horns protruding from either side of its head the bottom half of the blade was like a chainsaw with three inch spikes on it, the top half of the sword was just a plain broadsword blade. Helfuryon stabbed Ziladias in the stomach with his sword the bottom half of the sword coming to life the spikes spinning around making a whirring noise.
“We will find your family and kill them” Ziladias spat, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. Helfuryon slammed the sword all the way into Ziladias the spikes shredding his stomach blood flying everywhere, Ziladias grabbed the hilt of the sword and tried pushing it out of him Helfuryon responded by grabbing Ziladias by his right arm with his Chaosruned War Palm and ripping his arm clean off Ziladias cried out in pain as blood covered the temple floor form his opened shoulder and the arm now lying on the ground.
“Get away from him” A farseer screamed running at Helfuryon with his lance aimed at his head, the devil responded by moving his head back so the lance stabbed nothing but the air where his head use to be he then grabbed the farseer by the head, pulled the devils fang out partially and slammed the farseers head down onto the rotating spikes mulching his face then he threw the farseer off the side of the temple and saw more farseers charging up the temple steps. Helfuryon pulled the devils fang out of Ziladias who slumped onto the ground and turned to face the farseers who had now reached the top of the stairs and were running at him, he cleaved the first three farseers with the Devils fang cutting the head off the first, the head and right arm off the second and the top half of the third in one huge diagonal swing, a lance burst through Helfuryon’s right shoulder from behind him he turned and saw a group of farseers had come up the back steps of the temple he grabbed the farseer who had stabbed him and threw him down the main set of steps colliding with farseers on the way down giving him enough time to deal with the farseers already standing opposite him he snapped the lance off at both ends and threw the pieces to the ground he then attempted to cleave the group with the Devils fang and brought his Chaosruned War Palm across from the left the farseers were expecting the cleave and so they jumped back leaving one to block the attack with his own sword, the farseer was straining to keep the devils fang away from his neck while the other farseers moved in for the kill, the group however didn’t expect Helfuryon to use his palm as he smashed the farseer holding Helfuryon’s sword in the face breaking his whole face in. Helfuryon swept the Devils fang low across the ground slicing off the foot of a farseer who fell over and cried in pain he then put his foot on top of the farseers head and crushed it, brain and blood exploded out onto the ground, the two remaining farseers lunged at him with their lances Helfuryon ducked under both lances and grabbed the farseers legs one in each hand he then flipped them onto their backs and then swung them apart then back towards each other smashing into each other with the force of two cars crashing head on.
Three more lances burst through Helfuryon’s body he coughed up blood it spilling out onto his silver breastplate and dropped the farseers, he started to sway and turned around slowly and saw the farseers had made it up the steps, he fell to his knees and vomited up more blood he looked across to his left and saw the Devils fang lying on the ground by the crushed farseers, he sent out a purple beam from his Gauntleted hand that pulled the sword to him and then wrapped his hand around it and launched himself off his feet and swung at the closest farseer who ducked his attack and stabbed him in the back with his sword as Helfuryon moved past him and onto the second farseer, Ziladias threw a huge hammer of holy energy at Helfuryon striking him in the head and then slumped again dead his body already deteriorating and turning into wisps of light. Helfuryon fell down the stairs of the temple and landed on the ground hard on his stomach, he looked up at more farseers standing around him and then up at the sky.
“Rhyodin... help me” He whispered before collapsing, the last thing Helfuryon saw was a huge comet blasting down from the dark heavens he heard a huge boom and the ground shake and then a guttural scream that sounded like a whole legion of demons all screaming at once, everything became hazy and then disappeared sinking Helfuryon into complete darkness.
Helfuryon opened his eyes he was so weak he couldn’t move, he was floating above the ground and so were dead farseers he strained his head to look around bodies were floating everywhere and the ground had been completely shattered huge rocks were floating around everywhere.
“Helfuryon” The legion of voices called, He slowly turned his head and looked ahead what he saw amazed him, Rhyodin was floated there in front of him he looked much like Helfuryon did he was wearing the same armour but it was covered in red glowing Chaos runes his face however looked ancient white waist long hair draped down over his armour, his face had no wrinkles and his features were incredibly sunken he had high cheek bones and pale leathery skin stretched over his face. Huge black tendrils snaked out of his back and were ripping farseers to pieces and pushing the huge rocks around.
“What happed” Helfuryon croaked his throat caked in dry blood.
“When you summoned me my powers ripped the Void apart you know I can’t be in the physical world my power is too strong for even me to control that is why I ascended and became an ethereal Void Overlord” Rhyodin said his thousand voices echoing through the now destroyed realm called the Void.
“Can you watch over my family for me in the human world” Helfuryon asked his voice becoming louder as his throat cleared.
“Yes I will, also when I leave instead of repairing the Void I’m sending you to hell you will be the fallen leader and it’s also where Cariondyte, Avatar of Carnage and his brother Novaseramond, Avatar of Chaos are being held and tormented, your son in the future will come and release them from their torment and lead a war against the Holy armies, at that time you will give him this” Rhyodin said one of the countless tendrils bringing forward a scroll with the same markings as the mark on the back of Helfuryon’s Chaosruned War Palm as he grabbed for it Rhyodin’s tendrils pulled the lances out of Helfuryon’s back blood floating out into the air around him and then Rhyodin closed the wounds and healed Helfuryon green light emitting from the wounds as the closed.
“Are you ready” Rhyodin asked his voice’s echoing loudly.
“Yes” Helfuryon replied, there was a huge explosion of white, when Helfuryon’s sight cleared he was standing on top of the temple he had been fighting on his armour completely fixed and unscratched, Helfuryon looked out over what use to be a barred waste land in its place was a huge citadel of black stone huge spires rising up all over the place, the windows in the spires gave off a flickering red light and he could see shadows in some of them, he looked up at the sky it was raining huge black clouds covered the sky as far as the eye could see lightning jumping from cloud to cloud or from cloud to spire top, past the citadel walls it was another barren waste land Helfuryon could hear distant screams and roars and could pick out shapes moving along the horizon, suddenly the clouds split becoming thinner and after a few minutes completely disappearing, Helfuryon looked up at the sky to his amazement he saw stars.
“I haven’t seen the stars for nearly a thousand years, Wow” Helfuryon said as his gaze moved towards the horizon he saw a huge blue planet and behind that a dark red one they looked so close that it looked like you could reach out and touch them. Helfuryon stared at the sky for what felt like hours he never realised how much he missed seeing stars in the sky. Finally he broke his gaze away from the huge planets and sparkling stars and looked around the temple it was floating above the citadel held in place by huge chains with paths up the middle of them, the chains were swaying gently in the light breeze and Helfuryon could see a skinny figure moving towards him along the path on the chain, the figure began to run and started waving, Helfuryon tensed preparing himself for an attack and began walking down the chain path to meet the figure moving towards him.
“My lord” The figure cried his voice carried on the light breeze, the figure slowed to a walk and as he got closer Helfuryon could make out what he looked like.
“I am here to serve you, you must come and meet the council they have been waiting for hundreds of years to meet you” The figure said, it was a small skinny man dressed in rags he was incredibly dirty covered in cuts and bruises and smelt so bad it made the demon lord gag.
“This way” The small man said taking Helfuryon’s hand and pulling him back the way he came.
“The council will have very much to say to you, my name is Siphon” The small man said hurriedly pulling Helfuryon through huge stone doors, the two walked into an open hall with ancient tapestries hanging from the walls, small imp like creatures sitting in groups talking quietly between each other when Helfuryon looked at them.
“Ahhh, I see you have arrived” An ancient demon said his voice whispering around the entire hall, Helfuryon looked up and saw a huge table with six ancient demons staring at him from their resting places in huge thrones.
“There is much to explain to you, please sit” The demon said gesturing his hand in an upward motion, a seventh throne appearing on the opposite side of the table, Helfuryon took the seat lifting his left leg resting his ankle on his right knee so that his left leg was horizontal, he then slouched back into the throne tapping the clawed fingers of his Palm on the armrest of the throne.
“I’m listening”

“Pfft no problem” Both demons said in unison.
“We aren’t called avatars for no reason” Cariondyte said flexing his muscles making him look like he was about burst if he tensed any harder.
“Thank you” Helfuryon called back and then turning into the temple archway, when he made it to the central chamber he saw his wife sitting on a huge mat in the centre of the room cradling a baby in her arms the baby was wrapped in a thick white blanket and giggling as his mother ticked his sides.
“Jessca you have to leave it’s not safe here, I’m sending you to earth” Helfuryon said helping his wife up and kissing her on the cheek. Jessca started gathering things up from around the room while Helfuryon summoned a portal to earth, once Jessca had gathered all she needed the ran over to the portal, before she jumped in Helfuryon hugged her and kissed his baby son on the head.
“I’m going to miss you” Helfuryon said as Jessca stepped into the portal and started to disappear.
“We’ll miss you too” Jessca replied a crimson tear running down her pale cheek and onto her white dress. Ziladias charged into the room and pointed his lance at Helfuryon.
“Move!” He screamed drawing his sword of Holy Righteousness and spreading his wings revealing golden armour with a silver trim around the chest plate and greaves, the wings were suppose to help Ziladias intimidate Helfuryon. He responded by closing the portal off.
“Make me” Helfuryon spat turning into a shadow and flying out of the room landing back outside where he materialized. Helfuryon looked out over the battle taking place at the bottom of the temple.
Novaseramond was in the air blasting the farseers with small suns that exploded when they hit the ground, he was creating the suns by materializing them in his right hand and throwing them over arm at the grounded farseers laughing at their attempts to retaliate by throwing small hammers of light back up at him, Novaseramond then took his left hand and created a sun in that hand, keeping his already materialized sun in his right hand then slowly beginning to spin as he got faster he got brighter until he was a huge sun with two smaller ones orbiting him he then shot the two suns down at her ground one missing completely the other catching a farseer in the back blowing his back open and smashing him into the ground, four suns took the place of the last two and then fired themselves off then another eight materialized and shot off, this kept happening until suns were raining down all over the battle field, most of the farseers activated protective holy shields over their left arm and then grouped together creating turtle shield of holy energy over the battlefield, when Novaseramond stopped spinning the whole barren wasteland in front of the temple had been obliterated craters every few feet smoked from the punishing rain of suns. Cariondyte had taken refuge in the air spreading his huge black wings and flying up to avoid being blown apart by his smaller brothers attack, Cariondyte touched back down as the farseers were breaking from their turtle formations and charging at the huge demon who charged back with a guttural roar and slammed his maces down on the two closest farseers who were crushed instantly the ground around them cracking and huge chunks of ground becoming vertical like the steps did on the temple, a farseer jumped at Cariondyte who saw him out the corner of his eye and flicked his wing open hitting the farseer with the force of a baseball bat not seriously hurting him but stunning him and flicking him up into the air giving the huge demon long enough to swing one of his maces around and hit him as he came down, this attack didn’t hit him with the force of a baseball bat it hit with such force it may have been a eighteen wheeler truck sending the farseer screaming into another group of farseer trying to throw holy hammers at Novaseramond who was batting them away with the back of his palms. Another farseer ran up behind Cariondyte he jumped onto his back and stabbed his lance into his back this time it sunk about a meter in because the demon hadn’t expected the attack and hadn’t tensed, the huge demon roared in pain and swung his head around the tip of his horn catching the farseer in the side of his unprotected head Cariondyte then dropped a mace and grabbed the farseer and threw him to the ground then pinned him to the ground with his huge hoofed foot as he ripped the lance out black coagulated blood erupted from the wound he then rammed the lance into the farseers head then he picked up his mace again and walked over to another group of farseers, as he walked a group of farseers on his right threw out ropes of holy energy which wrapped themselves around the demons right arm, another group did the same on his left side, both groups started pulling trying to get Cariondyte to the ground.
“What are you doing” The huge grey demons said pulling his arms together pulling both groups off their feet, they quickly got up and started pulling, more and more groups joining in on trying to take the huge demon down wrapping holy binds around both his legs and his neck. Novaseramond saw what was happening and tried to go help his older brother but more groups came after him as well the holy binds catching his legs and bringing him slamming into the ground. Two farseers jumped up onto Cariondyte’s back and stabbed their lances into his arms making him finally fall to the ground one of the farseers that stabbed him jumped off his back and landed on the ground in front of Cariondyte.
“I call fourth the holy gods to bind this demon” The farseer called out in a booming voice, huge beams of light emitted from the ground around the fallen demon and turned into armour, Cariondyte was becoming weaker by the second the armour he was now wearing exhausted him he couldn’t even tense to protect himself.
“Get away from him” Novaseramond screamed getting up and flying up into the air bringing with him the farseers that were holding his legs with the binds he looked down and saw what was still attached to him and disintegrated the farseers in two jets of flame erupting from his palms and then slamming his hands together when he brought them apart a ring of fire materialized and grew the further apart as Novaseramond’s stretched his arms until his arms were spread as far as they could go.
“Stop now demon or we will kill him” The farseer called up from Cariondyte’s back, he had removed the lance from Cariondyte arm and now had it pointing at the back of his head. Novaseramond released the flaming halo it dispersed instantly a huge heat wave was felt by everyone on the battle field, Novaseramond sank back down to the ground and fell to his knees letting the farseers tie him down, he had lost all will to fight now that his brother had been caught, there was no need for the weakening armour.
“Well that was over quickly” Ziladias said emerging from the temple archway and walking up behind Helfuryon coming to a stop next to him, Helfuryon didn’t look back at him as Ziladias turned his head and smiled at him.
“Well we didn’t get your family but we got something just as important” Ziladias said smirking and spreading his six wings taking off, Helfuryon reached out with his Palm grabbing Ziladias by the leg as he took off, Ziladias turned meeting Helfuryon’s gaze of pure rage and hatred, Helfuryon swung the Apostle around in the air and smashing him into the archway wall so hard Ziladias came out the other side with an explosion of stone he then swung Ziladias down smashing the back of his head on the corner of the first step and then swung him up and into the wall of the temple wall and pinned him to it holding his throat in his huge clawed palm, he then drew the Devils fang from its resting place on his back, the devils fang was a black sword its hilt was a skull with horns protruding from either side of its head the bottom half of the blade was like a chainsaw with three inch spikes on it, the top half of the sword was just a plain broadsword blade. Helfuryon stabbed Ziladias in the stomach with his sword the bottom half of the sword coming to life the spikes spinning around making a whirring noise.
“We will find your family and kill them” Ziladias spat, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. Helfuryon slammed the sword all the way into Ziladias the spikes shredding his stomach blood flying everywhere, Ziladias grabbed the hilt of the sword and tried pushing it out of him Helfuryon responded by grabbing Ziladias by his right arm with his Chaosruned War Palm and ripping his arm clean off Ziladias cried out in pain as blood covered the temple floor form his opened shoulder and the arm now lying on the ground.
“Get away from him” A farseer screamed running at Helfuryon with his lance aimed at his head, the devil responded by moving his head back so the lance stabbed nothing but the air where his head use to be he then grabbed the farseer by the head, pulled the devils fang out partially and slammed the farseers head down onto the rotating spikes mulching his face then he threw the farseer off the side of the temple and saw more farseers charging up the temple steps. Helfuryon pulled the devils fang out of Ziladias who slumped onto the ground and turned to face the farseers who had now reached the top of the stairs and were running at him, he cleaved the first three farseers with the Devils fang cutting the head off the first, the head and right arm off the second and the top half of the third in one huge diagonal swing, a lance burst through Helfuryon’s right shoulder from behind him he turned and saw a group of farseers had come up the back steps of the temple he grabbed the farseer who had stabbed him and threw him down the main set of steps colliding with farseers on the way down giving him enough time to deal with the farseers already standing opposite him he snapped the lance off at both ends and threw the pieces to the ground he then attempted to cleave the group with the Devils fang and brought his Chaosruned War Palm across from the left the farseers were expecting the cleave and so they jumped back leaving one to block the attack with his own sword, the farseer was straining to keep the devils fang away from his neck while the other farseers moved in for the kill, the group however didn’t expect Helfuryon to use his palm as he smashed the farseer holding Helfuryon’s sword in the face breaking his whole face in. Helfuryon swept the Devils fang low across the ground slicing off the foot of a farseer who fell over and cried in pain he then put his foot on top of the farseers head and crushed it, brain and blood exploded out onto the ground, the two remaining farseers lunged at him with their lances Helfuryon ducked under both lances and grabbed the farseers legs one in each hand he then flipped them onto their backs and then swung them apart then back towards each other smashing into each other with the force of two cars crashing head on.
Three more lances burst through Helfuryon’s body he coughed up blood it spilling out onto his silver breastplate and dropped the farseers, he started to sway and turned around slowly and saw the farseers had made it up the steps, he fell to his knees and vomited up more blood he looked across to his left and saw the Devils fang lying on the ground by the crushed farseers, he sent out a purple beam from his Gauntleted hand that pulled the sword to him and then wrapped his hand around it and launched himself off his feet and swung at the closest farseer who ducked his attack and stabbed him in the back with his sword as Helfuryon moved past him and onto the second farseer, Ziladias threw a huge hammer of holy energy at Helfuryon striking him in the head and then slumped again dead his body already deteriorating and turning into wisps of light. Helfuryon fell down the stairs of the temple and landed on the ground hard on his stomach, he looked up at more farseers standing around him and then up at the sky.
“Rhyodin... help me” He whispered before collapsing, the last thing Helfuryon saw was a huge comet blasting down from the dark heavens he heard a huge boom and the ground shake and then a guttural scream that sounded like a whole legion of demons all screaming at once, everything became hazy and then disappeared sinking Helfuryon into complete darkness.
Helfuryon opened his eyes he was so weak he couldn’t move, he was floating above the ground and so were dead farseers he strained his head to look around bodies were floating everywhere and the ground had been completely shattered huge rocks were floating around everywhere.
“Helfuryon” The legion of voices called, He slowly turned his head and looked ahead what he saw amazed him, Rhyodin was floated there in front of him he looked much like Helfuryon did he was wearing the same armour but it was covered in red glowing Chaos runes his face however looked ancient white waist long hair draped down over his armour, his face had no wrinkles and his features were incredibly sunken he had high cheek bones and pale leathery skin stretched over his face. Huge black tendrils snaked out of his back and were ripping farseers to pieces and pushing the huge rocks around.
“What happed” Helfuryon croaked his throat caked in dry blood.
“When you summoned me my powers ripped the Void apart you know I can’t be in the physical world my power is too strong for even me to control that is why I ascended and became an ethereal Void Overlord” Rhyodin said his thousand voices echoing through the now destroyed realm called the Void.
“Can you watch over my family for me in the human world” Helfuryon asked his voice becoming louder as his throat cleared.
“Yes I will, also when I leave instead of repairing the Void I’m sending you to hell you will be the fallen leader and it’s also where Cariondyte, Avatar of Carnage and his brother Novaseramond, Avatar of Chaos are being held and tormented, your son in the future will come and release them from their torment and lead a war against the Holy armies, at that time you will give him this” Rhyodin said one of the countless tendrils bringing forward a scroll with the same markings as the mark on the back of Helfuryon’s Chaosruned War Palm as he grabbed for it Rhyodin’s tendrils pulled the lances out of Helfuryon’s back blood floating out into the air around him and then Rhyodin closed the wounds and healed Helfuryon green light emitting from the wounds as the closed.
“Are you ready” Rhyodin asked his voice’s echoing loudly.
“Yes” Helfuryon replied, there was a huge explosion of white, when Helfuryon’s sight cleared he was standing on top of the temple he had been fighting on his armour completely fixed and unscratched, Helfuryon looked out over what use to be a barred waste land in its place was a huge citadel of black stone huge spires rising up all over the place, the windows in the spires gave off a flickering red light and he could see shadows in some of them, he looked up at the sky it was raining huge black clouds covered the sky as far as the eye could see lightning jumping from cloud to cloud or from cloud to spire top, past the citadel walls it was another barren waste land Helfuryon could hear distant screams and roars and could pick out shapes moving along the horizon, suddenly the clouds split becoming thinner and after a few minutes completely disappearing, Helfuryon looked up at the sky to his amazement he saw stars.
“I haven’t seen the stars for nearly a thousand years, Wow” Helfuryon said as his gaze moved towards the horizon he saw a huge blue planet and behind that a dark red one they looked so close that it looked like you could reach out and touch them. Helfuryon stared at the sky for what felt like hours he never realised how much he missed seeing stars in the sky. Finally he broke his gaze away from the huge planets and sparkling stars and looked around the temple it was floating above the citadel held in place by huge chains with paths up the middle of them, the chains were swaying gently in the light breeze and Helfuryon could see a skinny figure moving towards him along the path on the chain, the figure began to run and started waving, Helfuryon tensed preparing himself for an attack and began walking down the chain path to meet the figure moving towards him.
“My lord” The figure cried his voice carried on the light breeze, the figure slowed to a walk and as he got closer Helfuryon could make out what he looked like.
“I am here to serve you, you must come and meet the council they have been waiting for hundreds of years to meet you” The figure said, it was a small skinny man dressed in rags he was incredibly dirty covered in cuts and bruises and smelt so bad it made the demon lord gag.
“This way” The small man said taking Helfuryon’s hand and pulling him back the way he came.
“The council will have very much to say to you, my name is Siphon” The small man said hurriedly pulling Helfuryon through huge stone doors, the two walked into an open hall with ancient tapestries hanging from the walls, small imp like creatures sitting in groups talking quietly between each other when Helfuryon looked at them.
“Ahhh, I see you have arrived” An ancient demon said his voice whispering around the entire hall, Helfuryon looked up and saw a huge table with six ancient demons staring at him from their resting places in huge thrones.
“There is much to explain to you, please sit” The demon said gesturing his hand in an upward motion, a seventh throne appearing on the opposite side of the table, Helfuryon took the seat lifting his left leg resting his ankle on his right knee so that his left leg was horizontal, he then slouched back into the throne tapping the clawed fingers of his Palm on the armrest of the throne.
“I’m listening”
