Beyond bloodlust

Nearby, a fearful group of soldiers commanded by one of the viceroy's sons gather, ready to end the reign of terror of one of the apostles of the underworld.
Max begins to conjure a spell that allows him to create a beast from the remnants left over from the massacre at the casino. The newly created creature is over 10 feet tall, has over 8 arms of varying sizes and a deformed face with over 12 eyes scattered throughout its head.
This beast violates one of the taboos of this world, which dictates that only the benevolent God can give his blessing to make way for the birth of a being. Unable to communicate, as it is composed of rotting corpses.
Max creates a device to emulate the sound of vocal cords. He binds the souls of humans to the beast's consciousness and commands it to repeat endlessly:
"I will wipe out all humans to offer their blood and bones to Zephyr."
Max orders the beast to go out into the village and start exterminating every single soldier. The beast, enraged, rushes out of the ruins of the casino and slaughters every person in its path. Terror is reflected in the faces of the villagers, as parents try to escape with their young children.
The beast grabs an entire family in its arms and places them in its jaws, tearing the family members apart with its fangs. The fluids of that family run down the chest of the beast.
The beast swallows dozens of culprits and heretics, some begin to pray to the heavens for help, but they are silent, no one has been able to hear their faint cries.
The viceroy's son appears, his weak legs begin to tremble with fervour and suddenly the golden-haired hero appears before him and begins to attack the beast, pushing him back.
The soldiers accompanying the young knight begin to encourage him to put an end to the nightmare that is before his eyes, the soldiers in an attempt to support the hero try to cut the arms of the beast.
The beast begins to crush them one after the other leaving a huge stain of blood all over the small town.
The hero tries to conjure a spell but the beast lunges at him, the small and defenceless son of the viceroy gathers some courage and tries to buy some time.
The beast grabs the arms of our intrepid warrior and rips them off in the blink of an eye, the little warrior screams at the top of his lungs, an immense pain runs through each of them and he begins to curse the heavens for abandoning him, he believes that all these years of devotion have been in vain,
The beast is about to end the suffering of this anonymous hero, like a ray of hope the sky begins to illuminate the hero, the intrepid hero finishes conjuring a spell that allows him to break his limiter and in a jiffy ends the life of the beast.
Everything begins to cloud over for the viceroy's son, death stalks as he has lost many fluids, as he loses consciousness he regrets all the time he has lost praying to that empty god who has abandoned him.
After a while he regains consciousness, he is surrounded by beautiful women who are treating his wounds, ashamed he covers his naked body with some pieces of his worn out clothes, he sees how the hero approaches him with a smile on his lips asking him if he is well, he blushes and tells him that he is healthy although he is a little confused.
He does not understand how he has managed to survive, his wounds were lethal, the hero tells him that he must rest and regain strength because then he will witness something that will mark him for life, the hero is grateful that he will try to sacrifice his life in exchange for saving all mankind from that beast.
A few hours passed in which silence filled every corner of the viceroy's castle, the hero returns to the chambers of our cautious protagonist, who asks the hero how his father is doing since that beast attacked the inhabitants of the village and he has not heard from him.
With a huge smile on his lips he tells him that his father is in perfect condition, that he could rebuild this emaciated village and rule for centuries, he smiles shyly and asks the hero if it is possible to meet with his father to tell him what has happened during the sneak attack.
The hero indicates that it is possible to meet with the viceroy during the feast he has prepared for the courage shown during the conflict.
Robert, it is time for you to meet your father," says the hero.
The viceroy's son incredulously asks the hero why he knows the name of the son of a modest viceroy.
Let me tell you that the blessing that God has given me is to know all the people who believe in him, I can see their souls," says the hero. Robert with some caution follows the hero towards a banquet, he sees that in each of the chairs are those women who diligently healed his wounds, but he can see how his father's chair remains empty.
He asks again in a nervous voice when his father will arrive, and the hero replies in a calm tone that he will arrive soon.
The hero tells Robert to take a glass of wine to calm his anxieties a little, he takes a drink with a bit of suspicion, everything starts to darken slowly around Robert, he tries to stand up but those women take him by the arms and tie him to the chair.
Robert is surrounded by a huge fog, his senses begin to fail but he can only see a light at the end of the fog, as he approaches the light a voice calls him again and again, Robert thinks he recognizes the voice of his dead mother.
He tries to run towards the voice, as he gets closer he begins to see two figures, one of them is his father crying while holding the corpse of his beloved wife, tears begin to flow from Robert's eyes, suddenly the whole scene fades and he can see how his father brutally beats his mother.
He throws the lady into the arms of thousands of beasts that begin to brutally rape her. He tries to save her but it is too late, in a corner he sees a terrified little boy who sees the grotesque scene and tries to console the child but his face changes to a countenance full of terror and he can see that the terrified child is the same one.
Suddenly he sees how his father shakes the hand of a grotesque being full of divinity that beast whispers that his reign will last forever, with fury he tries to hit his father but everything fades around him as if it were a dream, he wakes up from that grotesque nightmare and sees how the hero approaches him with a huge smile on his face.
Times of war are approaching, a man has lost everything he loves, his soul has been corrupted and for him there is only the scent of blood and revenge.
