Emperor of the Huan-si empire POV


    |YOUR GREATNESS, ANOTHER CITY HAS FALLEN !!!|(Soldier)


    |SHIT !!!|(Emperor Huan-si)


    Since that monster showed up our cities have been falling one after another, no matter what we send to stop him it is meaningless. The fallen warriors even come back under his commands as undead. I even sent assassins to get rid of him when he sleeps but that bastard did not close his eyes one in those three days. He doesn''t leave any survivors and only ruins can be found where proud walls should stand. People have started to flee to the inner country but it''ll be meaningless if we can kill that man.


    An Empire without people to rule over isn''t an Empire, I may hate the low populace but that is a truth that even the heaven can''t change. We can''t flee to the central continent since the other continents would use this opportunity to wipe us out.


    |Your Greatness, someone is using a communicating crystal to speak to us !!!|(Soldier)


    |Accept the communication !!! If they have information about what is happening maybe we''ll be able to deal with that monster !!|(Emperor Huan-si)


    The soldiers brought a small stone in front of me, it shone for a few moments and a deep and low voice spoke through it. That voice was filled with power and just by hearing it all my hopes were drained away. Whoever that voice belonged to is the one wrecking havoc in my Empire.


    |Hehehe ... I know ya can hear me ..... Let me plant tha seed of despair even farther in yar heart ..... Let me taste yar fear ... For ya will regret kidnapping my daughter.|(Apocalypse)


    And the communicating crystal exploded in a bright light. What did he say ? Kidnapping his daughter ? It can''t be, he can''t be Apocalypse Vermillion. That thing is no Demi-Human, it is a monster, it can''t be Apocalypse Vermillion. How can a monster like that become the Duke of a Human country ?


    I can''t even take the risk of killing his daughter because it might make things even worse, as long as she is alive I have something to bargain with. Shit !!!! Why is this happening to me, I still have things I want to do, many great conquests in the name of the Huan-si. I can''t just die here ... I need to come up with something !!! At this rate, I might just hope the great spirits that dwell in those lands can stop him.

    Great Forest spirits Bl?wenlia POV


    And here I am, me, a spirit even older than this puny Empire, looking at my druids trying to prepare the defense of the forest. I had not expected the Vermillion to come back and I thought that this "Continent shaker" was but a Dragon whose roar had mutated into something even greater but it was just a young Vermillion of Wrath who went mad. I would not mind letting those Humans die but I made a pact with their ancestors ages ago and a Great spirit never goes back on its words.


    And he came, carrying the reptilian wings of darkness, each of his steps breaking the ground as the world shook under the power he unleashed. As scary as he might look he is still young and weak for a Vermillion, the ones I knew wouldn''t even have to come down from their thrones to wipe this Empire from the surface of the world.


    |Druids of the forest, let him pass. Do not resist, he will not harm you.|(Bl?wenlia)


    As weak as he may be he is still a Vermillion and normal Humans are but ants to him. If someone must face him it''ll be me. My druids obeyed and did not attack and he passed pass them without killing anyone. I led him to the heart of the forest using my mind tricking power and we met face to face. As a spirit, I don''t really have a physical body but I can still create one in order to communicate with other beings. So I chose to take the form I usually use to meet the fledging druids. A woman made out entirely of wood, no need to spend time on details when they aren''t going to witness it for long.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    |Welcome to my humble abode son of the earth.|(Bl?wenlia)


    He said nothing and just kept glaring at me with his dark red slitted eyes. Sigh, I should''ve known better, there is no use talking with a Vermillion of Wrath. They are always like that, hit first and whatever comes next hit it too. Not wasting any more time I sent vines to grab his throat to strangle him. Since they were coming from behind him he did not notic e them and I managed to get a hold of him and he seemed pretty surprised too.


    |Don''t even try to set yourself free or I''ll cut your head off.|(Bl?wenlia)


    He glared at me and grinned.


    |Kzuvan Drokmorta Nertar|(Apocalypse)


    [Fucking sea-weed]


    And without warning the ground around him caught fire, burning the vine along with him. I was to shocked to do anything as he stepped out of the flames and grabbed my head between his hands. Vermillion aren''t supposed to be that good at using magic, for a magic of this scale he should at least have to chant the aria. He locked his eyes onto mine as he bumped our forehead against each other.


    |Koldra Nieun Fultraz Beldritum Firgartraio Wuakradir.|(Apocalypse)


    [I am fire, what can you do to me with your puny leaves.]


    |Keep spewing bullshit in Tytanic you fucking weakling .. I''ll show you what those puny leaves can do !!!|(Bl?wenlia)


    I left my body and started to make the roots attack him from every angles but he either dodged them or straight up punched them and shattered them. Tsk, I was careless, had I know he was that good of a mage I would''ve left him alone. I doupt he has much mana left since he has been fighting for several days without any rest.


    |I Humbly implore you, power of the southern wind, to grant me your heavenly power. Let me crush the enemy that stands in my way for I shall repay you with blood. I summon the great fire that dwells in the heart of the warriors, burning brighter than the sun and warmer than a never-dying love. GATHER, GATHER, GATHER WILL OF THE ASHES END OF ALL THING AND TYPHON OF FLAME, BLINDING LIGHT OF THE VOLCANO I ASK FOR YOU !!!! {Pompe?''s night}|(Apocalypse)


    WHAT ?!!!! He still has enough mana to cast such a powerful spell. The fire that had already ignited started to gether around him, dancing like a balrina, becoming a typhon of fire. The earth shook as some kind of mountain rose from under him and .... an explosion. Fiery rocks flying everywhere, the sky was tainted red and the heat the whole forest was blown away. Although I can not be harmed through physical means if my spiritual body get hit by those flames I will die.


    |YA WILL BECOME THA INSTRUMENT OF MY VENGEANCE, I''LL ABSORB YA. YA''LL BECOME MY STRENGTH AND YA''LL REGRET HAVING TRIED TA STOP ME !!!! APOCALYPSE SATAN SERAPH AMAEL VERMILLION !!!|(Apocalypse)


    He made large hands movements, the flames acting as if they were extansions of his body. Many times I dodged them by air-breath, I can''t afford to be careless for even one moments. He destroyed all my means of attack and the druids are all dead. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. He once again locked eyes with me, he souldn''t be able to see me in my spiritual form but he must have sensed me. He held out his hands towards me and fired several fireball as large as a Human. I dodged them but I was met with whip made out of flames, he got my left arm.


    Shit .... I can''t stay here much longer ... I must flee. I turned away and started to rush the farther I could. But Lady luck had already abandoned me and Apocalypse appeared in front of me like a wall of flames and smiled, revealing his sharp white fangs that had been sullied red by all the men he had killed with them.


    |It''s normal ya don''t know but it''s not tha flames of tha volcano who killed tha people of Pompe? ... It''s tha hot air of tha explosion. {Scorching wind}|(Apocalypse)


    And I met my end in the scorching fire that came out of his hands, me, the Great Forest spirit Bl?wenlia got killed because I had forgotten that nothing can compare to a Vermillion. Hmmpff, I guess I was a fool to even believe he was manageable. I hope my next life will be wiser than this one.

    Inside Apocalypse''s head, Dragon POV


    |Sigh ... so many meaningless death.|(Dragon)


    |There is no such thing as a meaningless death, just worthless people.|(Tytan)


    |Apocalypse .... is .... scary ...|(Sonia)


    Sigh, I know we can''t stop him since it is his nature as Wrath but for us who don''t have a physical or even spiritual body yet we can only sit by and watch as he slaughter his way through. Except for Tytan none of us are Vermillion. We each have a personality according to how we were created.


    I was created when he was searching for wisdom in the books he read when he was young.


    Tytan was created when he wanted to surpass Human''s body limitation when he was in Mundus.


    Sonia was created when he took his fermal form for the first time, giving a form to the desire he had to have a sister.


    And finally the oldest of us, the one who was born insided the void when the young mind of Apocalypse wanted to cry out for someone to talk to. The one who sealed away the cruelest memories Apocalypse have.


    |You should come out .... Evan.|(Dragon)


    |Kukuku ..... Oh believe me ... I will.|(???)
