Demonic Forces Arc
Chapter 11: The Old Enemy
Demon's Bane rode out beyond the walls with its two new members as well as Rezo Faala. Aaravit looked over at Lyra who seemed lonely. He rode over to her.
"Hey, you ok? You seem sad," he said.
"Oh, no, its nothing. Just thinking," she replied.
"About what?"
"I don't want talk about it."
"Well alright then."
Aaravit continued to ponder what she might be thinking of. Suddenly, there was a horde of Demons that attacked.
"What the hell? Where did they come from?!" Reyla yelled.
Red Dragon Knight drew his sword and began to decapitate the monsters.
Above them were two Demon War Captains flying and studying them. Rezo made a fist and then there was a magic aura around it and with just one punch to a Demon's chest, it made the monster explode. Aaravit drew one of his many staves and fired numerous spells. Uria shot arrows at the enemy. Lyra drew her sword and killed some Demons on her own. All of a sudden, the ground began to shake and then collapse. The ground shot up and down, separating the team members from each other. They were in Demon territory now.
Gwilln looked around at where he was at. He was shocked and surprised.
"Hello?! Anyone?!"
No response.
"Damn it."
He was separated from everyone else. It was completely dark where he was at. Behind him, he heard a voice.
"Well, well, well, little Ranger. We meet again." Oni said as he stepped from the shadows.
"Oni…"
Gwilln thought about the last time they had fought against Oni and how they had nearly been killed. Gwilln drew his sword. He was quivering. His grip was not steady. He was afraid.
"Seems the little Human is afraid of me."
Oni smirked at Gwilln's fear. Gwilln refocused himself, but before he could, Oni appeared in face. Gwilln was shocked and then Oni kneed him in the stomach. Gwilln fell to the ground holding his stomach. Oni gave him a chance to get up purely for entertainment. Gwilln swung his sword at Oni but the Demon simply stepped to the side. Gwilln swung again but Oni grabbed his arm flipped Gwilln making him land hard on his back. Gwilln let out a cry of pain. Oni then kicked him into and punched hard into Gwilln's stomach. Gwilln 's eyes began to close and he could feel his life slowly fading.
'Is this really how I'm going to die?' he thought to himself.
Gwilln's eyes closed and all he could see was black. Suddenly a bright light appeared in the dark.
"My son," said the light "you will not die here. You must wake up."
Gwilln opened his eyes and saw that Oni was about to perform a finishing punch. Gwilln caught his fist and threw the Demon back. Gwilln stood firmly with a glowing aura around him. He appeared and glowing gold armor and now had flaming wings on his back. Oni looked surprised.
"What?! No…" Oni said terrified.
Gwilln stood there simply just looking at Oni.
"I can't believe it. This weak Human…is a Demigod!"
