DEOS- X

‘’Lord Viscor Mukha, the centipedes are almost wiped out by one human, what should we do?’’

‘’Secure a path for their retreat. I’ll do it myself.’’

‘’B-but he is an awakened too.’’

‘’An awakened huh? I will devour his head.’’

-------------

Niru, who was left alone in his battle against a group of creatures called centipedes, is winning despite being disadvantageous. The centipedes that once covered a great fraction of land in their blackness decreased, their strength relying on number did not even touch Niru.

The centipedes slowly walked away in their escape.

‘’They are retreating? I must do something before they safely get away…’’

One centipede didn’t join the other in their retreat, but instead, it stood firmly on his feet- He is the mightiest in the army of centipedes, his eyes are all red, dark thick plated skin, he appears like a knight in dark armor and spike is all over his lengthy body-these spikes served as legs. Aura of darken energy surrounded its skin, transforming into its humanoid form.

‘’Lord Adreen! Don’t do it for us!’’- his people cry in pity for their tribe leader.

‘’this insect’s appearance changed?-----child’s play.’’-Niru is whispering.

‘’I know I can’t beat you, we, centipedes are among the weakest tribes in Zuotia… but I’ll hold your time, until the Leader of mantis tribe arrives here.’’- He then noticed Niru’s Horari Mittere- a sacred weapon that is only granted to minims- supreme beings that existed in the beginning, even before the history was sewed.

‘’How did that human gain such overly powerful weapon? I have no chances of surviving this battle…’’

KSSSSHHH….- the Horari Mittere blares, it makes a sound to show dominance. A sound that even  Adreen, the leader of a beast tribe steps back, he cautiously moved back for brute force isn’t enough to stop its bursting shots.

 The cries of his centipede men fades as they walk away, leaving Adreen alone in this fight.

When his men are all gone, he screamed in fury, and advanced to attack Niru. The spikes on his back grew long and sharp, and with those, he tried to slash Niru many times, but a bright barrier is protecting Niru, Adreen’s attack did not reach Niru.

Niru’s physic maybe is not suitable for fighting, but his weapon Horari mittere was so superior, All of Adreen’s might is not enough to even leave a scratch on Niru’s body.

‘’This isn’t fair! How could a mere human have such weapon?’’

‘’What are you talking about? Mere human? You are in front of a high being.’’

‘’WHAT?’’

‘’I, Near Prosp-esp Aev, shall end this abomination! In my hand, hell will be destroyed.’’-His voice has changed a bit, the way he talks, and the way waves his hand armed with the horary mittere, he isn’t Niru anymore. Since he faced hundreds of the centipedes, his power have grown immensely, for him to be able to defeat such number of beasts. A different being is taking control of his body.

He summoned a strong and fast-moving rill of wind, and it caught Adreen with it, in the air, the leader of army of centipedes flew. The completely overwhelming flow of wind shoved him down, stabbing the ground, and in it, a wide crater was left.

‘’I’ll end this.’’

‘’Stop it! Adreen can’t barely move anymore. I can’t believe how a human have such power, that a leader from Zuotia was cruelly beaten down. Do you hold grudge against us? Against nation of beasts?’’

‘’I Despise you, beasts! That is why I sent you here in this rotten place.’’

‘’What are you talking about, have you lost it? After that weapon from the minims took control of you?’’

‘’How dare you talk like that in front of a high being!’’

‘’You lunatic human. I’ll make you eat your words.—or rather, I’ll eat your head.’’

This beast that appeared in front of Niru, is the leader of Mantis tribe, Viscor Mukha- known as the devouring head. His face is masked and a large red horn is atop of its head.

‘’Before I eat your head, can I ask you your name?’’

‘’There is no need for my name.’’

Niru elevates in air, his eyes are all red, glowing in pure hatred and behind him is the darkness of the distortion.

‘’ I want to kill you and slaughter all your kinds here, but my time is running out. I already fulfilled my goal, some time from now, this body will be nothing but a weak human… but I can still entertain you for a while. Come and charge at me beast!’’

‘’Haha! Fooling around huh?’’

‘’You sure talk too much even in near danger huh? I’ll show you real power.’’

A huge symbol appeared after the distortion- It is the eye of the distortion- It only appears when a being chosen by the distortion is using masterfully- its enormous size is a proof of even higher mastery. Whenever it shows, great destruction will sure to come and devour anything that the distortion touches.

FIZZLE~

‘’You’re quite a fighter! What is your name?’’

‘’You mean we? We are Naranja, the two of us is one.’’

‘’I know…You’ve been saying that many times already… My name is Legios Anguis, and just like you, I am separated by multiple beings, I, we, are the only member of snake tribe.’’

Naran and Legios Anguis fought each other for a long time, and they are in an equal level of strength.

‘’Our fight isn’t unfair at all. You being two, and I being made up of multiple snakes. But… I am more adept in using the distortion.’’

Legios Anguis tried to summon the distortion, He woke up the eye- the opening of eye of the distortion, but it can’t draw out the power for some reason. A mysterious force is cancelling it and it failed. The force is so powerful he was sucked inside the distortion.

‘’Why am I being pulled inside..What is happ-…’’

‘’WHAT?? What just happened?’’

And just like that, the seemingly unending fight of Naran against the beast, Legios Anguis ended.

‘’Gaaahhh…’’- He made a soundful sigh-

‘’I thought I was going to die… but I guess this is still a win.’’

 He was just faking his tenacity, the courageous look in his face was all fake, and what he really feels inside is fear.

‘’Ranja, you did great! I’m glad you were with me in this battle.’’

‘’I will always be with you.’’

-----

On Miragin, Zaru who is helplessly struggling by himself, crawled, he reaches for the highest point he could possibly get to, along with Lux Fierre, who seems to have been able to get back on his original form, and there they talked.

‘’Father?’’

‘’You don’t have to call me that again, you erased a fraction of my right?’’

‘’Forgive me father! This unbearable suffering must be a punishment from the Creator, I did many awful things.’’

‘’Don’t worry, it won’t matter anymore. Everything that you did to me will be forgotten. You will realize this far along, everything won’t matter, the only future for us in this hell is the ever-changing history. The before will be forgotten, and another DEOS will be created again.’’

‘’a-nother… DEOS? ...’’

‘’Memory will be corrupted by the disease, and everything that we know will not make sense… and eventually, the history will be forgotten.’’

DEOS X- END
