Chapter 15:

Skirmish, Laughter and Annihilation

The Descension of the Unholy Crusader


Shizuku looked at me with a bright smile on her face, she seemed like she was thrilled at this. Even the rallying Shesh seemed overjoyed at the sound of these Warriors banding together. We are united under one banner, we may have lost our Light, our Zeal, even ourselves... and what do we have left? Well there can only be one answer to that... A chance to take back everything!

Shesh raised her hand to the air and all the Warriors joined her, Shizuku turns to me and says, "Do you hear that Jean? That's the sound of the Birth of a new Era! Where the damned and forgotten joined together despite their own differences in hope to take it all back from the enemies hand."
I nodded my head, "And We are the cause of it all. Without us there'd be no hope for these sorry souls. Without you Shizuku, I'd be walking towards my demise by now... Thank you.."

Shizuku's smile never faded, instead it became brighter, she said to me, "Jean, without you. I'd be a Living Corpse in a cell longing for the sweet release of death. None of this would've happened without you. You saved me and gave me a new purpose! I can never repay this debt... so I vow to always stand with you no matter what!"
I smiled and replied, "The feeling is mutual, I promise you that no matter what we go through, I will always save you. I will always come to your rescue, even if it means sacrificing everything. Even myself..."

Shizuku and I stepped forward and joined with Shesh during the rally. These warriors are hungry, and Freedom is on the menu! We need to start heading out and readying ourselves for the coming War! I stepped up upon the Rock once more and raised my iron blade for all to see, and from the top of my lungs I shouted, "Here me Proud Warriors! This is the Day of Salvation! Come with me and let us take back everything by Force!!! GO!!!!!"
 Without a moments hesitation, the Army marched forth down the descending staircase. I stepped off the Rock and took Shizuku by the hand and said, "Let's go Shizuku, Freedom awaits!" Her face became really red and her smile widened, "Yes! Lead us Jean! Lead us all to Freedom!"

Shesh soon joined up with us, we began making our way to the front of the marching army. The sounds of rallying cries could be heard from all around us. Soon after we made our way towards the front and lead them. I don't know what lies ahead, but with these powerful entities behind me, we can do anything! We marched down the descending staircase and came before a massive double doors. There was a Ram head acting as the handle and the door looked like it measured about 20 meters wide and 25 meters high. Quite a magnificent door I should say..
Shizuku gazed upon the door in awe and said, "This massive door, there must be a multitude of Prisoners beyond it!"

I agreed with her, "Yeah, and I don't think I have enough power to burst through it like before. We might need the help of everyone behind us."
Shesh then stepped in and interrupted me saying, "What? You can't break this feeble thing? All it needs is a good love tap! Here let me show you!"
With a moments wait, Shesh stretched out her hand and then a bright green orb appeared. The orb gained a lot of mass, it was probably 2 meters wide, then she condensed it to fit in her palm. She took a deep breathe and then released the pent up spell! In a flash, the small orb shot out and impacted into the massive door and blew a huge hole through it!!
*BOOOOOOM*

The Ram head was no longer visible and the rest of the door was caved inwards, what tremendous power!!! Without thinking, Shesh looked at the Army and said, "GO FORTH WARRIORS!! Free every Prisoner and have them join our ranks! Slay every opposing force and don't hold back! Go go go!!!"
When they heard that, the entire Army stormed in and completely trampled the destroyed doors. They all let off a mighty war cry, "HIAAAAARRRGHHHHHHH!!", "HAAAAAAAHHHH!!"
Shizuku and I rushed in after them, let's do this!! Once we made our way inside, we were greeted by demons in iron armor that wielded blades, bows, maces and chains! My Army quickly clashed into them! I heard the sounds of a mighty roar from all sides! I myself grabbed readied my blade and went charged forth. I came into contact with a smaller demon from the ones before, he looked like a grotesques beast, I ran forth and slashed him in half with ease!
*SLISH*

I saw his body tear in half and a fountain of blood poured out forth, I then became hungry and almost lost myself again! I rushed forth and grabbed one half of the demons body and sank my teeth into it and fed! The taste of blood relieved my hunger slightly and I felt a new profound strength inside of me! I really do become stronger as I feed huh?
I saw 3 demons then surround me, I shift my eyes towards all of them and in an instant, I saw a flash of light beam through all 3 of them, they fell to the floor in an instant! I looked over and see Shizuku with her right hand raised forward, she had a fierce look in her eyes, almost like a fire. She said, "None will stand before him and live..."

That was kind of badass Shizuku, however I don't have time to thank her. I quickly scan around and see Shesh in the corner of my eye with a crowd surrounding her.
"Oh Jesus of Nazareth! What the hell is going on over there?" I shouted in awe.
Some of the Army were standing back and watching her, she's completely decimating them! She's summoning huge spikes of poison and forming various objects and impaling them by the dozens!!! The demons body parts were flying all over the place!! It was an absolute blood bath!!!
"Hehehe hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~~!! Weak and pathetic, WEAK AND PATHETIC~! Look at them all die HAHAHAHA~!" She shouted during the decimation, she's enjoying this slaughter!

 She spread out her hands and a pool of dark green ink appeared under her. The ink chased the 5 demons that were fleeing. Once it reached under their feet, they began to sink in. I heard their disgruntled cries and pleas for help, but no one came to rescue them. Soon they were completely submerged under and the laughter of Shesh sounded through the whole prison!
I felt a small fear run into my spine, "W-What a monster.. who are you Shesh..?"
She turned her head towards me and said, "That's not a polite thing to say to a beautiful maiden Jean. You should learn some manners~ hahahahaha!" She then looked at the trembling rebel army that stood before her and said, "If any of you stands in my way, I will not hesitate okay?"
Remind me to never get on her bad side...
I shouted at the Rebels, "Warriors, remember your mission! Start freeing the prisoners! Their numbers are dwindling now!"

Some of the army began to travel to all the cells while others stayed and fight. Their numbers began to slowly dissipate, I kept swing my blade and consuming them. Shesh seems to be pulling all the weight, while the others simply watched! They all soon dispersed and began fighting and freeing again!

The other warriors fought bravely, I saw hordes pouring out from every place! Just how many of them are there guarding this jail!? It seems like they number in the thousands! I gripped sword tightly and ran forward, I will slay every one of them! I ran forward and slashed another one, I swung my blade in every direction to every opposing force! They were swarming in from all sides! I looked up and saw bow users aiming at us. There is war everywhere I look, their numbers are surpassing our own!! Shesh was shredding them apart by the multitudes, but the numbers never seemed to decreased! Shizuku was supporting from afar and piercing them with frozen spears and beams! My warriors were clashing with them, some prevailed while others had close combat! I ran forward towards a group of smaller demons with many arms!

They surrounded me completely, it's time to show them what I'm made of! I focused all my power into my blade once again and charged forth towards the bigger one in the group, in a instant we clashed, but my blade tore through him and cut him in half! I did a backwards side attack and got the demon at the rear and leaped up in the air, as I jumped I readied my blade and regathered my strength, with a fierce burning hatred and drive, I plummeted down and crashed into the crowd of demons that were below me! 
*BOOOOOM*
The ground exploded under me and the demons were blown back!!
I said to myself, "I truly love the monster I've become..."

I took a quick glance around me, one of the many demons stood back up while trembling before me. I looked at him and walked forward, with the most intimidating voice I could make, I said to him, "Demon.. why do you stand back up..? Don't you know that it's pointless before my power? So why...? Just roll over and die already."
He took steps back with fear in his eyes, he answered back, "What are you accomplishing by doing this..? Why do you fight..? Do you really think you can take on the Hordes of Hell?"

I stepped in front of him and pointed my blade at his chest, "If I didn't then I wouldn't be doing it now." In an instant, I slashed sideways and his head fell off. A fountain of blood sprung out from his neck and his body fell over. I looked around myself and saw the corpses around me, they looked delicious..
"Such a wonderful feast before me hahahaha!" I said with a menacing laugh.
I lifted up one of the corpses and sank my teeth into his flesh! A warm and spectacular taste filled my mouth and I fed. I felt more power entering my body, I kept feeding on the corpses. One by one I fed.. until there was nothing left..

My power kept rising, with each drop of blood... I felt more and more lethal as I fed. The feeling was amazing!!
"Ahahahahaha!!! The feast never ends!!! Soon none will stand in my way!" I ran forward and slashed them, none were able to match me! Adrenaline and overflowing power poured out from my veins!
One, three, seven, twelve, fifteen! I kept dropping them and feeding. The power was overwhelming, with this, I can one shot Lucifer himself!!
I kept killing them and feeding on the corpses, I looked around and saw my army freeing the captives and our numbers grew! They began to retreat, I looked upon the whole army, banded together under one Salvation! This uprising will win, I will guarantee that. With my power... no.. OUR power, we will decimate this God forsaken Hell and everything in it!

I shouted upon the Unholy Crusaders saying, "Warriors, tear them all to shreds! Show them OUR power! Show them a fate worse than Hell itself!" The Warriors kept pushing them back, they were fleeing in the hundreds. We never let go of our pursuit, it was time to take back what the Enemy stole from us! 
I looked at Shesh, she was still laughing up a storm as she annihilated the hordes that surrounded her, she shouted at all of them saying,
"He who has ears, let him hear! I, Shesh of the 9 Renegades of Limbo, will obliterate all that stand before me and my freedom!!!"
Well said Shesh.. let's get our freedom back together! 

The opposing guards of the floor were almost no where to be seen. They mostly have fled to bottom floor probably to gather up and inform the floors below of our presence. Who cares though, victory is already ours, they're just delaying their imminent demise. Piles of corpses filled the area, I couldn't even see the ground below. My warriors were still pursuing them, I guess we can't rest just yet, we still have a Prisoners to release! It's time for retribution..

I raised my blade forth and declared to the warriors saying,
"Angels, Demons, today we take back everything! Let's strike these bastards where they live!"
