Chapter 3. The quest begins.
5 days passed after arrival of Darknarach, now what came in the world nothing but terrific, lunatic terrors. Soldiers had to defend the gates from Forces of Darknarach, but in vain, the soldiers unable to hit back his forces. In the Daemus mountain, darknarach just sitting on his throne, seeing all the chaos he does in the world through a mirror and was enjoyed it, then turn to front of a few unknown beings he created after the castle risen up from the Mountain.
My dear servants, you see they now aware of how dangerous we are, we keep doing till they give up and sell all of their lives to us. - Darknarach said as raise his sword up on the air. - And the reason why I created all you, Dark demons... Ankheg, Ogopogo, Archelon, Semektet, narkthan, MWG, Forthone and Nobilis. - He echoes their names.
We will serve you all years, even when you dead, my Lord. - Ankheg said as kneeled down to him.
We will show those Minazuryu Vermins they has no chance against us. - Forthone says with a smug.
You're right, Forthone. - Darknarach said as laugh evilly which everyone outside of the castle can hear it.
In Karsberg everyone was in their houses, because they are afraid of coming out due to their fear they will be attacked by Forces of darknarach at anytime. Only Gerick and Elise was outside, seeing the castle on the mountain.
Pfff. If i was knew about it, then already killed him while we in the way. - Gerick growls.
I don't know why he chosen this place, and why you? Despite he is such a fallen astakrieg but he has mazankrieg blood inside him. - Elise said, reminding of her deceased father once died at a hand of a astakrieg.
Astakrieg? I though they was a fallen clan, how he was the only one? - Gerick asked.
When the mazankrieg clan didn't exist, the astakriegs was slave sellers, they enslaved some peoples from my clan till my father had no choice but eliminating the Astakrieg clan even though, its current leader was a greedy and heartless person. Their failure was they was separated, but they became dead later. Once I heard of a astakrieg woman who married to a Mazankrieg, but when the child born, he realized what she is and killed her behind him, telling him that she leave them. - Elise said as looked at him.
And he said his mother leave him and his father, not that she is killed... - Gerick shocked a bit.
Well some clans has their own dark secrets unfortunately. - Elise said with closed eyes.
Okay, but we need a way to destroy him, maybe I can use power of the drakeblade to slain him, but there is his strongest attack. - Gerick said.
The only way to kill him is to releasing full power of the Drakeblade. - The Wizard who was Gerick's adopted father said as came out of his house.
Full power of the drakeblade? how? - Gerick asked.
I seen you're ready for this quest, zeonian knight. - the wizard said wisely.
Zeonian knight? - Gerick asked like he never heard of this name before.
Gerick, I guess its the time to reveal myself, I'm not actually a wizard and I wasn't your adopted father, I'm a deity. - The wizard revealed himself who is only as King deus.
You're a deity? Wait, if you wasn't my adopted father, then why... - Gerick asked again.
The lord gaved me permission to raise you, since he also aware of that you will be our hero who slain the evil. - King deus explained calmly.
That's mean... My destiny to defeat the one who was supposed to be my rival and once became evil? - Gerick asked.
Of course My son gerick, I'll gift you with this equipment we call the Mythic Gauntlet which it grant any abilities to you, it will help your quest. - King deus said as handed the Mythical gauntlet to him.
A such equipment I never heard... Thanks deus. - Gerick said as equipped it on his right arm. - but what kind of abilities will grant? - He asked curiously.
You will see, but now you both ready and go to Athen where you can release the full power of the Drakeblade at its mountain. - King deus said as vanished in the shining.
Athen, he meant... - gerick almost finished his sentence.
Greece... - Elise said.
Yes, okay Elise, then we go to Greece tomorrow. - Gerick said.
Good idea, now see ya. - Elise said as go to the Inn to sleep.
See ya tomorrow. - Gerick smiles as go to his house to sleep.
Meanwhile in the Castle, darknarach was sitting in his throne, thinking currently as someone told the news to him.
So they going to Athen to release the full power of the Drakeblade to defeat me? Hahahahahahah! Laughable so much. - Darknarach laughted.
So, what should we do? - Ankheg asked.
You and ogopogo now go and stop them! And Ogopogo, you Release the Panzera Deep terror on Athen to put them in fear. - Darknarach ordered them.
As you want, Lord Darknarach. - Ogopogo said with a grin.
Indeed! - Ankheg said as giggled a bit.
Perfect! now Go! - Darknarach commanded them.
Alright! - Ankheg and Ogopopo teleported as darknarach laughted.
Tomorrow, Gerick and Elise leave Karsberg and made their way to Athen, in the way happened nothing, a Panzera didn't appeared in their ways but a yellow barrier seen from Karsberg, it was used by Elise in case of protecting the peoples there. In few hours, they reached Serbian where they find a Inn but suddenly they seen a person coming toward them, but he was a mysterious one, he had fox ears and tail and he wear a mysterious ninja attire.
Who are you!? - Gerick asked angrily, doubting he is a enemy.
You was sent by darknarach? - Elise asked.
Nope, I know what are you talking and my answer is nope. - The fox earedman answered as standing front of them. - And I guess you're talking about Zeron astakrieg, right? I had a experience with him before he didn't met you two.
What...? - Gerick asnwered.
So, let's go to the Inn and we continue the talking there. - The fox man said as he go with them to the Inn.
In the Inn, they was talking during eating.
So, your name is masamune? - Gerick asked curiously.
Of course, I'm the leader of the Kitsuka clan from Japan, I'm just here for chasing 2 enemy which they trying to release some panzeras here. - Masamune said.
Weird... then why did you come to us? - Elise asked.
I though you are these enemies while I'm wrong. But whatever, I wanna show you something. - Masamune said as placed a Map about darknarach's castle on the table.
Its... - Gerick surprised.
A map to Darknarach's castle. - Elise said as was surprised.
Of course, his castle has 6 district, the Terror Entrance, the marble hall, the aquatic chamber, the black night tower, the amethyst quarter and finally... The Royal Corridor. And his throne hall of course lays there. - Masamune explained as pointing on the Royal corridor on the map.
So we should just need to break through all the 6 district to find and defeat him. - Gerick said.
But watch out, because darknarach placed some soldiers everywhere in the castle, even panzeras too but not to mention there are his servants the Dark demons.
Dark demons? - Elise and Gerick asked.
Yes, a Group of evils with demonic powers who are exists to serve darknarach. The 2 I chase are belongs to this Group. - Masamune explained.
So.. we had to defeat the dark demons to weaken darknarach's power. - Elise said with closed eyes.
Even though they protect him, his power remain the same unless if the Drakeblade's full power didn't awaken.
After the talking, they went sleeping together, outside of the Inn was silent this night until 2 shadow appears from nowhere. One was a Scorpion-like Creature but with Centipede as his tail and a dark-skinned, lunatic human, they was looking around, everyone went sleeping, the dark-skinned man stepped one front.
They went sleep so early as I think. - The dark-skinned man said.
Ogopogo, don't you think its a trap? - The Scorpion creature asked.
Don't worry Ankheg, we gonna release some Chaos on them and they don't notied them till they wake up. - Ogopogo said with a grin.
Nice! - Ankheg laughted as he summoned a Pentagram.
Now let's start the fun! - Ogopogo yelled.
As they starting the Panzera terror, someone tossed a Kunai dagger on him but he quickly stopped it as Ogopogo turn around as the one who tossed the kunai only as Masamune, also Elise and Gerick come out of the Shadow too to fight against the 2 dark demons. The 3 Hero and the 2 Dark demon just staring at each other as Anhkeg keep opening the Pentagram.
So you are these so Called Dark demons who want to slain this city? - Gerick asked.
Of course, My name is ogopogo and he is Ankheg! And now you all Go away in Name of Lord Darknarach! - Ogopogo asked me, but they didn't moved.
We know you are all who and we don't allow you both to do that! - Gerick said.
Wait, You're just not! - Ogopogo shocked.

Ankheg! We don't have time! Summon 2 Drakon and then let's stomping them! - Ogopogo Commanded.
Indeed! - Ankheg said as Summoned 2 Drakon Necros and these summon a few Undeads front of them.
The Undeads runs on them but they killed all of them quickly to reach the 2 Dark demons. But the Drakon Necroses Summoned together a Endolock front of them and it started punching on the ground to kill them, but they dodget it.
A Endolock!? - gerick shocked.

Shit... That's Panzera so Dangerous... - Masamune was angry after seeing his 2 teammates fallen and decide to take the fight against the Endolock.
Just be prepare, this Panzera can hit very well! - Ogopogo Mocked him as laughted.

A black Aura surrounded Gerick and as strange shadow appearing above him. Gerick starting Roaring as his skin turn into pitch black, Wings came out of his back as a tail came out as well, yellow horns grow out of his head and sharp nails grow out of his fingers in process. After fully transforming, he became a Black dragon-like humanoid and start staring at them with anger.
