Everything felt different, the Silver Foxes were tasked with liberating Thorn from Nakhu's Khante however his forces surrendered without resistance.
Aegeus, Maia, Alicia and Kaguya went up to Kaguya's temple however as this happen the sky felt different as the temple glowed and portals opened.
Demons stormed out, the Silver Foxes and Nakhu's forces were taken by surprise now they have to hold off this attack.
Maxon thrusted her rapier into the throat of one of the demons that lunged for her, Malak used his orcish strength to easily crush the skull of a lesser demon.
"What the hell is happening?!" One of the Silver Foxes shouted, "Where did they come from?!" "Where's Master Aegeus?!"
Rhoz flip kicked a reptilian like creature under it's chin then drew his sword slashing down, "Everyone form a circle! Archers behind Mages! Spearmen protect the mages and archers!" Rhoz ordered.
Archers fired their arrows at the demons that exited the portals while Mages used any spell to assist the archers.
Rhoz and Maxon took temporary command of the Silver Foxes til Aegeus return back to them, however unknown to them Aegeus was send to another world thanks to the demon Chernabog.
Maxon fired her flintlock dropping a Boar demon then stabbing a lunging Imp, "These aren't like the monsters that serve Volt" She says.
Rhoz noted this as indeed different from the creatures that serve Volt and the Black Dogs.
"Stand firm and we will be victorious!" Rhoz commanded as the Silver Foxes shouted in defiant against the odds.
Meanwhile...
Taylor huffed as his sword was drenched in blood, he released a battlecry cutting down a goat like demon then cursed.
"Damn Bulezaus!" He says then stabbing into another's chest before splitting it wide open.
Bulezaus were violence-craving tanar'i demons thay embodied primal fury and the bestial brutality of nature.
Though the minotaur-ike creatures appeared gaunt, they were the heavy infantry of the Abyss, too stupid and stubborn to retreat.
The demonic breed was commonly referred to by planar scholars as "Baphoment's perfect children".
Taylor motion for his Calvary to charge in and break the enemy's lines. The Knights of Blood Calvary charged and skewer the enemy with their lances and created a large enough gap for Taylor and the rest of the Knights to push through.
Any beast in the Black Dogs army listen to the voice of Chernabog as he told them "Rip them all to pieces my children! show them whose superior!"
The beasts begin to become more crazed as their eyes turn blood shot, even some of their mouths begin drooling from saliva as they roared while charging into the Knights of Blood.
Taylor blocked a strike from a Wereboar's axe as he turned and slash it's side wide open as he proceeded to grip his blade and crack the guard into it's skull as he bludgeon it.
Spearmen ran their spears into the charging Bulezaus, while the Knights of Blood looked to be victorious they suffered casualties like any other force.
"For the Goddess!" One Knight shouted in defiance before being bitten by a group of hungry Beastman.
Taylor let out a other cry of war as he hacked and slashed through any Black Dog Mercenary or Beast, "Keep pushing! we will win!"
Claudia and her Dawn Templars came down to assist the Knights of Blood. The Dawn Templars were skilled female warriors who were powerful Paladins
Claudia being Celestine's bodyguard and a Paladin herself she was skilled swordswoman. "Taylor!" She shouted as he turned to look at her then luckily to duck from a Orc's strike allowing Claudia decapitates the Orc.
"The monsters are more deadly something is making them like this" Taylor hissed clenching his blade tightly, Claudia held his shoulder firmly "Ease yourself Taylor remember what I taught you"
Taylor sighed, "Yes Lady Claudia" He says readjusting himself.
Kingdom of Ken
Celestine held her chest tightly as she tried to catch her breath.
Sitting on her bed as she tried to calm herself, she had contact to Aegeus but now she can't sense him anymore and worse Chernabog as returned.
Celestine held herself tightly as she closed her eyes tightly, "Just give up pathetic Goddess your little Champion is done"
Celestine lay on her bed curling up as she begin to whimpering, "Please...stop...Please stop...Sir Aegeus save me..."
Olga held her head tightly as a increasing headache plagued her, she was the former Queen of the land of Darkness.
This increased darkness plaguing her made it hard to breath as she felt like she was on the verge of a mental breaking.
However something popped to the two Elven women something gave them hope as they both mutter to themselves "Aegeus..."
Elsewhere
Forces of Kjolr marched after sacking a castle in ruins, Ivar sniffed the air then drew his axe as his Queen and fellow Kjolrians noticed and did the same.
Suddenly floods of rabid Beastman charged at them. Ivar and the Kjolrians counter charge the Kjolrians have faced Beastman before in their homelands.
Ivar slammed his axe into the head of a Minotaur as he begin to jiggle the axe out and strike for a Boars neck.
Alya cracked her shield into the chest of a Bulezaus as she stabbed it through the heart.
"sendu þá til helvítis!" She shouted. /Icelandic Translated: Send them to hell/
Ivar swung the back end of his ax as it cracks into the jaw of a Bulezaus then he hacked into it as it's blood sprayed onto his armor and weapon.
Suddenly the beasts begin to screech like they were in pain as they begin to fade leaving the Kjolrians confused.
"Hold yourselves Kjolrians! we're still not finished march!" Alya shouted as Kjolrians followed their Queen.
Realm of Nyx
Aegeus pushed himself as he placed his hands onto a boulder as he shoved and pushed it til he reached the top of the cliff.
"Good good your strength has returned Aegeus now go to Hephaestus and return to me" Nyx says while she rested on her throne.
Aegeus nodded and walked to the portal which transported him to Hephaestus. "Aegeus you returned, I have finished your weapons and armor"
Aegeus placed his breastplate armor as it was stubbed leather armor strapped tightly to hit him, his arms had leather fingerless gauntlets. Aegeus clenched a fist in the leather gauntlets as it felt easier for him.
The shield was a hoplon which was in the shape of dish similar to his previous shield but less heavy, Aegeus strike it with his fist at it made a loud banging noise.
As for his weapon Hephaestus crafted him a short Javelin which he mimic his previous one however the blade had carving onto it on one side was Zeus and the other was Nyx.
"Your armor was crafted from the skin of a Chimera allowing you to withstand strikes from even the strongest warriors without wound, your shield I build from strongest ore I've found lighter then steel but as powerful"
"As your weapon I simply rebuilt it, as you can see one side images our father Zeus and the other Nyx as your in her debt and she gifted you her blessing" Hephaestus says returning to his work.
"Hephaestus" Aegeus says to him as he turned to look at him, "Once I'm done with the war that takes my home I will come back, I will bring you and your daughter to Eostia! We'll need craftsmen Hephaestus your craftsmanship can help rebuilt homes and your daughter can be free to roam I promise this I will come back for you dear brother!" Aegeus says then turns running to the portal.
Once Aegeus leaves, Hephaestus quietly says "Goodbye Aegeus" behind him he heard someone enter his forge as he turn to see another one of his siblings the Ghost of Sparta himself Kratos.
