Beyond The Stars


Chapter 579: The Forest Terror

Narrator: Zeth and Sasha have just learned the truth about how Sasha is the Creature Deity!

*Zeth and Sasha are in awe at all the dark creatures surrounding the temple and bowing to them*

Zeth: This is incredible! Look at all of them!

Sasha: Having this many dark creatures becoming loyal to me…

***

Narrator: Nearby in the Forest Terror.

*A humanoid demon is sitting against a tree*

Narrator: Plant Demon of the Forest Terror – Herbigon.

*Herbigon has rough gray skin. He wears a red cap on his head. His iris color is blue. He has a slim feel to his body. His clothes have leaf markings on them*

Herbigon: The creatures around here are acting differently. Why is that?

***

Narrator: Back to Zeth and Sasha.

*All the creatures are making noises as they still bow to Zeth and Sasha*

Zeth: What are they saying?

Sasha: They are saying “All hail the new Creature Goddess!”

Zeth: That’s awesome! Congrats on the new followers!

*Zeth and Sasha start walking down the steps. As they reach the bottom of the steps, the dark creatures make way for them to pass. All of the dark creatures start making more noises*

Zeth: What are they saying now?

Sasha: They said that if we desire to go to the Forest Terror, it is straight beyond this point.

Zeth: What exactly is the Forest Terror?

Sasha: It’s a very dangerous place in Hell. It’s also where I met Ultensmite.

Zeth: Do you want to go to the Forest Terror?

Sasha: I was last there as a young girl. I would like to see it again.

Zeth: All right, then let’s go.

*Zeth and Sasha start walking through the path as the creatures on each side start bowing again. They soon reach the end of the line of dark creatures and enter the Forest Terror. It’s full of creepy trees. There are also streams of water and some rock walls*

Zeth: I can see why they call this the “Forest Terror.” This place is super creepy.

Sasha: It is and yet I feel at home here.

*As they continue walking, they see demonic creatures. The demonic creatures leave them alone as they walk*

Zeth: At least the local wildlife doesn’t seem interested in attacking.

Sasha: It’s probably because I’m here.

Zeth: That makes sense.

*Zeth and Sasha soon reach a narrow stream next to a rock wall*

Sasha: I think down this way is where I met Ultensmite.

*They start walking down the dirt path next to the narrow stream and rock wall and they look around as they do. Suddenly, a few sharp spikes launch out from the leaves of a tree toward Zeth and Sasha. They both notice in time and dodge it*

Zeth: Who is there!?

Sasha: You chose the wrong people to attack.

*Standing in the trees are two demons. They are both male dark gray-skinned demons with spikes protruding out from their arms. They both smile confidently.

Narrator: Spike Demon – Rod.

Narrator: Spike Demon – Dod.

*Rod has a scar on his face*

Rod: At last, we have found our prey.

Dod: Zeth and Sasha. Public enemies number one among demons loyal to Dakame.

*Sasha sadistically smiles*

Sasha: So you’re loyal to Dakame? You just made the biggest mistake of your lives challenging us.

Zeth: These guys don’t look that tough.

Rod: Both of you are dead!

*Rod and Dod jump off the tree and launch more spikes at Zeth and Sasha*

Zeth: I got this!

*Zeth forms a bunch of Star Shards and releases them toward the spikes. The Star Shards hit and destroy all the spikes*

*The spike demons become angered and start running toward Zeth and Sasha*

Dod: How dare you!?

Rod: We’ll kill you!

*The dark creatures in the area are starting to become restless as the fight happens*

*Zeth and Sasha get ready to attack as Rod and Dod rush toward them*

Zeth: This won’t take long!

Dod: Enough talk! Time to die!

*Dod tries to attack Sasha by slicing her with his spiked arm but Sasha quickly chops his arm off using her own arm and, at the same time, grabs him by the neck. She then quickly pins him to the ground*

*Zeth stops Rod by gut-punching him. The gut punch hurts so badly that Rod vomits up blood and then falls on his back*

*Rod lies on the ground in a lot of pain while Sasha still has Dod pinned to the ground. She looks at him sadistically*

Sasha: By trying this foolish act, you deserve to have your insides carved out.

Zeth: And fed to your Hellhounds?

Sasha: Actually, if you look around, all of the dark creatures are restless. They aren’t fond of these demons. I think they want to snack on them.

Zeth: I see.

*Sasha pierces Dod’s gut, causing him to scream in pain. She carves out some of his insides and then licks the blood off her fingers*

Sasha: Not bad. They will definitely enjoy eating you.

*The hungry dark creatures are getting closer*

*Rod and Dod look terrified*

Sasha: Let’s go.

Zeth: Okay.

*Sasha looks at the dark creatures*

Sasha: Feast on them.

*Sasha and Zeth walk away as the dark creatures gang up on the wounded Rod and Dod*

Rod and Dod: Nooooooo!!!

*Zeth and Sasha reach the bottom of the downward path*

*Sasha smiles*

Sasha: Hey there… Ultensmite.

*Ultensmite is lying down and looks at them. It makes noises*

Sasha: Yes, it is good to see you again.

Zeth: Whoa! This is my first time actually seeing Ultensmite! It’s huge!

*Suddenly, they hear someone*

???: So, you’ve come to this place.

*Zeth and Sasha are alerted and look to their right to see someone entering the area*

*Herbigon comes into view*

Herbigon: I have to say, I’m very interested in meeting the ones capable of taking down the Dark Goddess.

Narrator: Herbigon confronts Zeth and Sasha! What does he want?
