Chapter 37

Desolation God

Well, We reached the 1k views, And I would like to thank everyone who read any of this story, even people who skip. It really does mean a lot to me. I hope you enjoy this chapter, because it will be the last one to be published to get to 100,000 words. I will not stop however. Okay, well that is enough info for now, so I will see you on the next chapter.

"Akaz, haven't you noticed that the egg has not even hatched yet over months?" Elise asked.

"No... I think it has been shorter than the expected time." Akaz answered. "It usually takes more than three months for an egg to let out the baby inside. Four if it is lazy."

"I am really starting to worry about the young one... What if he does not make it?" Elise asked.

"Do not worry, its the environment around us that is probably going to determine what he will grow up to be." Akaz said with a frown. "I mean, have you even seen this place? Lava is circularly flowing, and there is a gap that leads into a whole world of it. What do you expect?"

"One more day till the lunar desolation occurs... And tomorrow Arinias is going to manipulate it like never before... Get ready." Akaz informed.

"Alright we had enough desolation talk for one day, lets just rest and see what tomorrow brings." Elise said.

Akaz and Elise curled up around each other, making their scales rub against one another. The heat shared with both of their bodies resembled the fire, still simmering hot and harmful if humans touch them. They suddenly began joining both of their claws and hands together, like they were holding a item that both of them had to hold. They both smiled, being happy they were together, and then they slept with silence.

Dreams kept on coming to Akaz's mind ever since the egg was laid. Sometimes in his dreams, it would be smashed by some imaginary cliff that somehow shifted into another, resulting in a crushed egg, or Elise would drop it and break it. But this time however, was way more different. This time it took place in a strange black temple, which had tons of blue fire, being extremely cold in there. then several knights surrounded him. He dashed around and controlled the lunar desolation like it was his slave. Soon, they were all gone, and the egg remained, but then a random knight appeared and sliced it in half, as blood came out of it, spilling with terror. Akaz yelled no when it was almost the crack of dawn, making Elise startled.

"What is wrong!?" Elise asked in a loud voice.

"Nightmares... Just keep on coming back..." Akaz said while stepping onto a platform doused with Lava. Soon, the energy of the lunar desolation appeared around him and then emitted a blast that sent the lava flying. The lava almost hit the egg, but only by a foot. Akaz looked at the egg, thinking that he was almost a murderer for doing so. Then the aura came back and emitted a wave that caused things that Akaz was enemies with to wither and die, and for his allies to thrive and become positively affected by it.

"Akaz Careful with the Egg!" Elise complained.

"Oh no... I am sorry Elise. This Desolation just passed on to me.. But Why?" I said.

"Probably the holder has died and you were in the bloodline that inherited it?" Elise guessed.

"Maybe so." Akaz said with sadness.

Elise seemed like she was still on her toes, but was still going for straight answers, not ones with extra stuff on it. Meanwhile, Enuo came across a old temple similar to Akaz's dream. He walked inside, seeing the blue fire, thinking that it must of been cursed by the desolation. He pulled out his bow with an explosion arrow out of his quill, preparing for any surprises. He pulled back his string, feeling like there was a enemy right behind him. He then got to the point where the suspicion was at an all time high, and he thought he heard footsteps, so he quickly turned around and let go of the string, making the arrow fly through the air. It was flying and it began curving towards a blur. It hit the blur from a distance, making it explode. Suddenly, a grunt was heard from the blur and when he finally landed without bouncing back up, he stood up, letting out a cold aura.

The aura that he radiated began corrupting Enuo from the inside, with its cold and unforgiving energy. Soon it was felt, as multiple sharp pains rose up from his legs to his head. He grimaced and was forced to the ground by the powerful foe.

"You shouldn't have done that..." The blur said from afar in a firm voice.

Distress was going around Enuo as he thought that he was not going to make it. Why couldn't he just not shoot the arrow? He was then relieved of his grip, but the grip is still light. He no longer had the searing pain that was shooting from most of his body. He then slowly walked towards him as the blur warned him to back away. Since Enuo at firsthand experienced his wrath, he stayed where he was. He then holstered his bow and arrows and waited for the blur to show itself.

The blur walked from the door to him in a slow manner, and began breathing heavily. It seemed like he was faking it, just from how he walked. He seemed so angry, yet so calm. Soon he got where the blue fire emitted light, where Enuo was standing. He stood right in front of him, with a suit of light blue armor and a giant battle axe.

"Do you know... Where the Vermilion core is?" The blue armored stranger asked.

"Sorry, you are out of luck." Enuo answered. "Raleigh destroyed it."

"And I am assuming you work with him?" The stranger guessed.

"Work with him!?" Enuo yelled. "Hell no!"

"Oh, I know the sentients are way stronger than that. And I received Intel that one was roaming on this surface." He said. "So, you heard about it or saw it In any shape or form?"

"No. Not at all." Enuo answered back.

"Fine then, my next prize might be the one who controls this so called Lunar Desolation." The stranger said. "Tell me where he is..." He said in a raspy voice, whilst grabbing Enuo by the neck. The bowman who was getting demolished by Nesc was almost choking and since Enuo did not want to lose his life, he told him who he should look for. Nesc explained that the Lunar Desolation is almost everywhere in the universe, and if the wielder is a bad person or someone who cannot control it, he should try and either seal it away or dispatch it immediately. Enuo said that Akaz was the wielder after his draconian father, but he was a son to two who had some kind of dominion of the Desolation itself.

"He is in the lunar kingdom..." Enuo choked still wriggling around in Nesc's grasp. "Please do not hurt him, he is a good soul."

"I will not hurt him if he doesn't attack that's all." Nesc informed. "The least I can do is seal him away during this apocalyptic era. Now you lead me to him."

"Alright.." Enuo said while still being choked by the Templar. "Just please let me go."

Nesc let him go, while Enuo dropped down to the ground with force. Enuo did not know who he was, but he knew that if someone gets on his bad side, somebody is going to have several blades shoved down their throat, and its not going to be pretty. Just hearing his motives and goals made the Templar sound like a reasonable guy, except the aggressive behavior. Enuo then led the way from the dark temple to the lunar kingdom itself, while Nesc was hot on his tail. He was so close, that even Enuo's bow touched his leg. With response, Nesc quickly sidestepped and pulled out his axe, thinking that it was some kind of poison tip on the edges of the bow. Enuo said that it did not have anything on the edges and was sorry for being too close. Nesc then backed up and followed in proximity still, but this time, he was not in range to be touched by any of Enuo's weapons, even the bow and hand extension couldn't reach him.

When they finally got to the secret cave outside the laboratory and underground, they came along a sight of Akaz standing in Lava while floating over it with a bright red aura. Nesc assumed that it was the Desolation's power, so he walked up with Arcane energy, making the air look like it had invisible stairs, and told him he had to seal him away. Akaz's expression looked depressed, like he just got rejected by Elise, which happened a few times when they were little.

"Either that or I have to kill you."

"Why can I not have this power?"

"Trust me, in our solar system, there are others that abused it, and I was assigned by my king to hunt them down." Nesc explained. "Even If you are good, there is a good chance that you do not know how to control it, therefore, I have to make sure that the desolation cannot hurt anyone else."

Soon Akaz felt something rising, but at the same time, lowering. It began stirring up, and the funny feeling made him realize that he was becoming unstable again, even with the armor piece to attempt to prevent, it still would not work. Akaz then felt his control slipping out, and with no warning, Akaz sent out a huge blast that sent everyone flying. Elise had the egg in hand, and luckily the egg did not break, but at the same time, she wished that it would've hatched.

Nesc was extremely angered while Enuo kept on trying to calm him down, but the light blue Templar refused to back down, since this was his other job other than conquering and pillaging. To protect his king and the Cedran, possibly helping others as well. He then made his axe shake the ground, and immediately, himself and Akaz were teleported to the sky. The black dragon was not surprised or stunned, so he charged at Nesc at the speed of light. Nesc attempted to swing his axe at Akaz's neck to try and kill him, but then he remembered that it was not his fault. Something probably just triggered some nerve or something. Either way, this has to be done. Seal him away or kill. Nesc chose to seal him away, but within that second, he swung his axe, and it slightly hit Akaz, but the axe was then stopped by his scales, and immediately was forcefully punched from the air to the lunar surface away from the kingdom.

When Nesc looked up, he saw Akaz as a blur, and quickly at the right moment dodged him, avoiding the black dragon who was probably going to drive him through the ground. Even though the Templar's armor is almost indestructible, it still had weaknesses. An Acron death beam could weaken it, but it takes too much power and is a kamikaze tactic, as a last resort. Once he burrowed through the ground like a drill, Nesc heard rumbles coming from the ground. Then he noticed that he somehow can sense where he exactly is. This was not something he ever encountered before. A person who had dominion over Lunar Desolation and excelled with quite a ferocious fury. Soon, Akaz shot up from the ground, spewing magma from the center of the moon. Akaz seemed stronger now, and he charged at Nesc again with a speed never seen by the human mind or by minds imaginable. Akaz then charged up like a Sevawing, seeming like he got something from Ytrian or another Sevawing and shot a huge beam at him, aiming at the space above. Nesc then turned on his aura, and immediately the laser began weakening, until it finally stopped. Akaz still was there with the aura as he chased Nesc into space and Nesc countered with his axe swinging at his head. Although his scales were actually stronger than Nesc's armor, it shown a scratch on Akaz's head. Then it healed quickly and with a ear shattering roar, Akaz threw a arcane spear at Nesc, making him land down to the Moon with extreme force.

Nesc was already getting rag dolled by the dragon with Desolation powers, but then he realized he has not used any element yet from the seven tribes. First while Akaz was shooting at him with an arcane Sniper-like Bow-gun dubbed the Tyunasis, and energy was not being drained due to the effect of Melequis's aura. Nesc then made Akaz get dragged down to him as he moved him like he was a puppet, then made him blast himself with the Sevawing's laser. Then With the Cold nova, he emitted a Huge blast of cold energy, and then made his axe a long sword infused with ice. Nesc, using Control and Ice at the same time, attempted to stab and/or weaken him, but it was not enough. Soon Akaz broke free, and the Desolation aura caused him to get even stronger, now negating all his powers.

The dragon then reverted the effects done by Nesc, and then grabbed him with a force that was unreal. It began weakening his armor like the Acron beam, except that this did not hurt Akaz at all. Nesc tried to use his aura, but he now couldn't with Akaz's aura obviously reigning over his powers like a supervisor. Within the few seconds of Nesc struggling and Akaz increasing the intense pressure, his claws glowed and made a blast that made a explosion like a nuke. Then with the main desolation powers, called a torrent of red energy to strike from the black sky. The red energy pierced Nesc like he was paper, and the Templar now fell unconscious.

Akaz then calmed down from losing control and his aura gone back to normal. Elise came running down to him asking him what happened. Akaz answered back what just happened and Elise saw Nesc looking dead and Enuo asking why Akaz did that.

"I-i do not know... Its so Sudden.. Its like I am a god or something." Akaz answered.

"No, if you took out somebody who could destroy Pluto with his own hands and was nearly indestructible, You are indeed a God of Desolation." Enuo called Akaz.

"Elise... I need to go..." Akaz said.

"No do not leave me!" Elise called out, but it was too late. Akaz teleported within a bright orb into the abyss.

"I know that guy is still alive.. He was right, Akaz needs to be stopped. And fast." Enuo said lightly.

"I do not care! I want him back!" Elise cried out.

"Arinias blessed him with his power, and Equinox helped. Now he experienced the ways of darkness and light... He will bring forth the end of everyone." Enuo said. "Someone has to try and help him before he accidentally takes the lives of trillions. Or even more."

"Get up you piece of Anophyst..." Enuo taunted. " You got a job to do.
