…CONTINUED

The crimson, boiling flames run under the ground as if is slow motion as Brian watches in horror for his dear friend Auden who is now frozen in fear. The child, still locked within this body, the body controlled by the Unholy Demon who is now just toying with the monk in the monastery. The Unholy Demon laughing in a sick and sadistic delight at the plight of the monk, still stiff with fear. Through the monk's head, he remembers very well the words of the monk master of fire, every excruciating detail…

"So, you want to know of the fires ultimate attack?"

"Yes, I find what I have heard of the other ultimate attacks to be quite interesting, would you be so kind as to tell me?"

"Yes, I do not see why not… The ultimate attack for fire is called 'Extinction', and unlike the other attacks, which were passed down from the Holy God, this came from the depths of Sinas, the Unholy God spent countless hours creating this attack. You see, with a normal attack, when the targeted creature is defeated, the physical being is destroyed and the soul floats off to where it is best suited, Isamis, Celtland, or Sinas… But Extinction is the exception, because when this attack hits its target, something most evil thing happens… The target is swallowed by an orb of searing, hot lava, but not normal lava mind you, this lava slowly burns and kills its target with a pain that surpasses the horrors of even Sinas, while doing this, the soul is dragged from the body and into the depths of Sinas, to suffer an eternity in pain within the orb. This is made even worse by the fact that the attack is fail safe, if the user has mastered fire attacks to the point of knowing this attack, then if this attack connects, the creature is damned."

"How… Terrible… Doesn't that mean that a fire master must also hold the powers of evil?"

"No, it is like enemies using our attacks, it makes they no better than if they used attacks from the Unholy God."

"How can this be? Why must it happen this way?" Auden speaks with quivering lips as the ever-growing flames of Sinas come even closer, he takes a step backward.

In an even more distorted voice, the demon speaks, "I see, I can't allow you to get away from this! Restriction Lv.1!" Suddenly, three rings appeared from the sky and surrounded themselves around the monk, leaving him immobile.

"NO!" Auden screams as the flames start to go underneath his feet, already the flames burn his skin.

"No! Auden, run, RUN!"

The monk says nothing as the pain mutes his ability to speak as the flames start to burn away at the ground, leaving the now floating Auden suspended above the flames only by the restriction attack. The flames start to grow higher and higher as the rings suspending him grow dimmer and weaker with each passing second as the horrified monk continues with helpless to try to speak to the child with restricted lips. The searing, horrible flames rise up around him suddenly, keeping him out of sight as the flames sear him outside in in, each breath hurting more and more unimaginable with each passing breath… A dark circle forms around the outside of the flaming cylinder as a poll of lava gushes from its depths. Quickly, the dark magma surrounds the helpless monk, now in a pain indescribable to even immortals, the lava sears in through his flesh, as he now screams in terrible agony. The flames start to fall into the orb and all that is seen is the orb, the heat and steam emitted from it so loud that even Audens screams are covered. The orb, now compressing, starts to move under the ground, Audens head appearing over the orb, his screams start to come in Brians ears and the Demon start to really enjoy the sight and sounds of imminent oblivion.

Suddenly… The lava losses its form as an orb and quickly sink into the ground which suddenly looks as if nothing had happened to it. Auden, now free of the terror, speaks softly, "S-Silence Lv.1..."

To the monk, the demon demands, "What did you say lowly monk!"

The monk now falls to his knees, burns covering his entire body… Passing out.

Suddenly, the demon screams in a muffled voice, as his lips suddenly start to melt together.

"Cursed monk, I will destroy him once my mouth is free of this spell!"

"No, demon, you will not!"

"What do you mean, you fool! I have you under my constant control, and there is nothing you can do!"

"Stop pretending! That attack was not under your control, had it been, the monk would have died, get away from my soul vile demon, GET OUT!"

The barrier fades, as the child falls to his knees, clutching at his head, screaming is agony as his lips start to free themselves.

"You are mine, child! You will have no control!"

"You are weak demon! My Holy is greater than what your ill-gotten Sin will ever be! Holy God of Isamis, I pray you share my Holy faith to this demon, so it may be more faithful to thee! Holy God of Isamis, I pray you share my Holy faith to this demon, so it may be more faithful to thee!"

"What are you doing child! No, stop… NOOO! YOU ARE PURIFYING ME! NOOOOOOO!"

The body of the child starts to recite the prayer out loud now, a dark mist starts to pour out of Brian, clouding up in front of the child, "Holy God of Isamis, I pray you share my Holy faith to this demon, so it may be more faithful to thee! Holy God of Isamis, I pray you share my Holy faith to this demon, so it may be more faithful to thee!"

The shroud of mist stops flowing from Brian and the dark cloud starts to slowly from into what Brian knows will be the demon, Brian starts to pray for the safety of the monk and all others in the monastery as the physical manifestation of this evil forms right before him in the house of the Holy…
