Chapter 3: Journey into Turel's castle

Raziel had reached a huge castle where he had sensed where Kain and Turel were hiding out. 'Your tastes in abodes has improved little brother, but this won't keep me out.' He thought as he walked through the gate only to be pushed back by some sort of barrier. 'So you've been expecting me. Well this won't stop me from killing the both of you.' Raziel shifted to the spectral realm and walked through the gate. Raziel then shifted back to the material realm and immediately was attacked by several turelim vampires. Taking the soul reaver blade Raziel hacked and slashed the vampires and then devoured their souls increasing his strength. He then walked inside the castle and noticed several ugly stone statues by all four walls of the room. As Raziel walked further into the room he didn't realize that the statues' eyes glowed red. When Raziel reach the end of the hall the doors slammed shut and Raziel turned around to find that he was face to face with a dozen living stone statues.

Raziel swung the soul reaver at them but it was batted away before he could strike at one of them. Raziel flew up and shot ki blasts at each one of them destroying them instantly. 'Wonder what other surprises Turel has in store for me. Only one way to find out.' Raziel picked up the soul reaver and blasted the door and saw that it led to a huge hole in the ground. Seeing no other way out Raziel down the hole and when he reached the bottom he found a long passageway in front of him. He went into the passageway which was crawling with turelim and other assorted creatures of the night. He hacked and slashed at them devouring their souls whenever he could. When he reached the end of the passageway he found that it led to a tunnel going straight up. He flew up the tunnel and when he reached the top, a bolt of lightning that sent him barreling into the nearest wall struck him. When the smoke cleared Raziel saw Turel standing a few feet from him. "Well, well, well, Raziel isn't this a 'shock'?" Turel mocked as he ran inside a building.

Raziel ran after only to find a huge monstrosity before him. It was a huge spider with venom dripping from its fangs. "I hate spiders." Raziel said as the spider attacked him. Raziel flew as high as he could only to get caught in a huge web. 'Oh shit.' Raziel thought as the spider crept towards him. Raziel then had a thought and activated the fire glyph burning the spider and the spider web. Raziel ran out of the room to find Turel only run into another lightning bolt. As Turel ran away another group of vampires appeared and begin to fight Raziel. Unlike the others, these vampires carried weapons and blocked Raziel's attacks. Raziel got annoyed and used the fire glyph on them making quick kills of them and quickly devouring their souls. Raziel was about to run after Turel again when he ran into Xellos again. "There you are. I've been looking all over for you." "Fuck off." Raziel said as he threw Xellos 50 feet into the air. Xellos fell onto a pile of sharp rocks and groaned in pleasure. "I'm beginning to believe that he doesn't like me. Nah!"

Raziel ran inside the building he saw Turel run into and saw not only Turel standing in the middle of the room but Kain as well. "Welcome to the party Raziel. "Kain said as the doors slammed shut. "It's one to die for and you shall die." Kain laughed as he and Turel teleported to a pair of chairs in the back of the room. Raziel turned around to find himself face to face with what he though was three humans and a man that looked like he was made of stone. "If you think that these mortals can protect you then you've lost your mind. But I'll indulge them and give them merciful deaths." He turned to the foursome "Prepare yourselves cause I will be the last face you'll ever see."
