Weak mind

The attacks had reached the monastery. The attackers were able to bypass the seals that the monks had set. Some monks had, as if by magic, removed the seals themselves and seriously injured their confreres who they tried to prevent. They were obsessed. Blood oozed from her eye sockets, as well as from her ears, mouth and nose. They had an almost crazy grin on their lips. The seal-setting monks were quickly defeated because they did not expect the surprise attack and could not attack their brothers. So they were attacked and almost killed themselves. But not only the possessed cleared the way, demons had also revealed themselves among the monks. Brothers who sat at the same table day after day, doing the same work, turned into gruesome beings with long ears, horns and sharp teeth. They slid their claws into the flesh of their former brothers and tore it apart. A bloody picture played out on the mountain of gods. While the demons from outside broke the weaker and weaker seals, which acted like an invisible dome over the monastery and were supposed to keep sinners from entering, the demons, who had disguised themselves as people and had been in the monastery for a long time, had made the defense weaknesses. The seals did not last long and were completely broken. Many monks tried to evacuate ordinary people and ignorant monks who were neither combat monks nor knew of the existence of demons. But they too were overwhelmed by the demons. A bitter struggle for the monastery took its course.

While the fighting was going on and the last seal was falling, a demon appeared on the highest tower of the monastery. He was over two meters tall. His long, white strands went down to his waist. His free torso was muscular and he wore a gold bracelet on each of his strong upper arms. As with any demon, his ears were long and elf-like. On each of them he had three rings and a chain that went from the outer tip of the ear to the earlobe. It was a silver chain. At the end of it was a pendant that looked like an upside-down cross. The demon wore knee-high, black boots and had a waist band with all sorts of jewelry on it, while the waist band black fabric went down to the ankle of the demon and thus covered his nakedness. The demon's eyes were red and his gaze was sharp. There were marks on the right side of his face that went from his horn, down to his eye, and then down to his neck. Under the right eye this time it was shaped into a red, jagged, open circle with a point in it.

The tower on which the demon stood was a bell tower. In this a monk rang the warning bell. But the demon simply pulled it out of the bell house and threw it into the depths, where it hit the ground and died. The demon laughed coldly and let his gaze slide over the battlefield. "Lucifer !!! I know you are here !! ", his voice echoed over the battlefield. The demon seemed to be the instigator of all the attacks. He looked terrifying and formidable. The demons obeyed his command when he told them not to show mercy. "I will find you, Lucifer !!", were the loud words of the demon, who then penetrated the monastery and slaughtered everyone who came in his way. A cold laugh escaped the demon, who came into the monastery so easily as if there was no resistance.

Godric had heard the words himself down here. So loud and penetrating they had been. The laughter had grown closer and three of his brothers had been slaughtered and thrown into the burial chamber. With a fixed gaze he looked at the entrance and only looked for a few seconds at the demon that Lucifer had asked for. He laughed maliciously and looked at Godric, who had taken up fighting stance. “A talin! The last line of defense. We already had that. ", Were his amused words. Godric gritted his teeth. This demon had an eerie aura. The demon's gaze said he was not going to take prisoners. This could also be seen in the monks lying mutilated on the floor. The white-haired demon was not impressed by Godric's fighting position and took a step forward, carelessly kicked a corpse lying in the way and looked at Godric with a grin. "At last. I had to wait an eternity, but finally we'll see each other again Lucifer. ", The demon seemed to be happy. Godric watched his brother go, who was thrown away. The demon didn't care about the bodies. Humans only seemed like worms to him. "How dare you treat the dead so carelessly ..." Godric whispered angrily, then paused when he felt Lucifer's movement behind him and heard a low voice that he could hardly understand, but it came from Lucifer.

He had gone to the gate, felt the arrival of this demon and heard its call. He rested his palms against the sealed gate and rested his forehead on the cool rock. It had been a long time since he last heard a familiar voice. He had closed his eyes and was standing in the middle of the gate before which Godric was also standing. "Decus ..." Lucifer whispered. Godric looked at the named demon, which was getting closer and closer. So Decus was his name ... Was he here about Lucifer? It looked like that. "Hey Father!" Lucifer Godric got out of his thoughts. This looked slightly sour to the side. "What ?!" He thought that Lucifer would throw some words at his head. That he would now see what he would get out of it, or that he could still count his last seconds, because it would be over soon. But nothing of the same. "Set me free," he demanded in a calm voice. Godric didn't seem to believe his ears. Then Lucifer himself demanded the release! "What? Never! ”“ Set me free, Amon! ”It was more emphatic. Decus laughed. "What is there to whisper? Laughable! No matter what your plans, you will lose against me! I'll kill you first, Amon! Slowly and painfully before Lucifer's eyes. Then he'll have to believe it himself! ”Godric looked shocked at Decus. Had he heard right then? He didn't want to free Lucifer, but kill him? Wasn't he here for his rescue? “I am not Amon! When do you finally get it! ", Godric scolded, who didn't want to be constantly compared to his ancestor. Decus just grinned perfidiously. “I don't care who you are. After processing you into a pile of guts and mud, I don't care about your name either. But to me you look like Father Amon's bastard! Don't hold it against me, little one! You just inherited bad karma and bad face. ”Decus laughed and cracked his fingers. Godric grumbled. He did not allow his ancestors to be insulted. But he wasn't the only one. He could hear a crack behind him. Lucifer had rammed his claws into the rock. The seals on the gate lit up and a choked sound could be heard from the chamber. The seals prevented Lucifer from causing greater damage to the gate. But it wasn't long before the Prince of Darkness was on his feet again and punching the gate with his fist.

"Don't put his name in your mouth ...", Godric heard his voice muffled. He wondered why Lucifer, of all people, had thoughts about Amon's reputation. What was between the two of them? But then he was spoken to again. "Now finally free me!" "Never!" Decus took advantage of this dispute and attacked. He knocked the holy staff from Godric's hand, which landed further away on the ground. Godric was struck against the wall by the gate. Decus' claws had rammed deep into the body and pulled through once. The young father screamed in pain while Decus just grinned in satisfaction. "Nice ~. Oh Lucifer! If you could see this red blood! It's so pure and smells so seductive! ”Lucifer growled. "Bastard!" This only made Decus laugh, then the laughter stopped in his throat. Godric had picked himself up again and thrust a silver dagger between Decus' ribs.

The demon screamed, stumbled back a step, and looked down at itself. A silver, sacred dagger was stuck in his body. "How dare you!" Growled Decus and pulled the dagger out of his body and threw it to the side, so that it jingled to the ground with the blood of the demon. He could not hold the dagger for long because it was sacred. Demons could not touch these items without being burned. You could see this in his wound. Not only was she bleeding profusely, but the skin was burned in a tight radius around it. He looked angrily at the priest. "I'll kill you !!" "I'm not dying that easily," he protested tense and propped himself against the wall. His robe soaked in his blood. Decus's claws hadn't failed to work. The wounds were severe. “I haven't been back a month! I won't die that easily !! "

“What a confused worldview!” Decus had straightened up again and was grinning, considering what shocked the blue-haired man. Actually, the wound should at least put every demon in its place a little, but this one stood as if nothing had ever happened. The white-haired demon just laughed and revealed the bottom. To Godric's amazement, the wound was about to close again. But he couldn't be further surprised. Decus reached out and rammed his foot into the priest's stomach. When it went down, Decus rammed his foot into Godric's back. “Don't underestimate me, worm! I'm not one of the little fish you're used to! ”Godric tensed up. "What's the crap anyway. Why are you attacking our monastery?" He growled and didn't want to give up. He let his hand wander under the sleeve of his frock coat, where he had some banners from his own creation. He had even tested it on demons who thought they had to attack young Talin. So far he had sent every attacker back to Hell with it. He hoped it would work with Decus too. But he noticed it and kept kicking him. He grabbed his wrist, pulled him up, and tore off his sleeve, the ban slips falling out. "Bannery? Laughing! ”Godric groaned in pain, inwardly cursing the demon's attention. The white-haired man's gaze wandered to the abbot's ring finger.

"Oh ~ this ring, this nefarious and ugly face. You really are Amon ~ no doubt about it," came the demon. Four monks appeared behind him. “Brothers!” Godric called and looked at them. He could recognize one of them as Brother Tom, who had looked after the Father since his arrival. “Brother Tom! You others! Go! This demon is not normal! Otherwise he will kill you too! ”But the priest's words fell on deaf ears. "But Father. You don't want to stand in the way of our darkness. Shouldn't a servant of God want what's best for the world?" Asked one of the monks. Godric looked at him, startled. Brother Tom took off his hood and looked emotionless at his friend. "The best would be if Lucifer finally died. The best if you all go with him! All who have the shameful blood of Amon", Brother Tom said. Godric's eyes widened in shock. Hearing these words from Brother Tom stung his heart. It was like a slap in the face! Brother Tom was one of the few monks who took care of the Father outside of the sermons. It was Brother Tom who showed Godric to his room, explained the rules of the monastery, the process and much more. He had inquired about Godric's condition every day. He had become something of a friend in that short time. "Brother ... Tom ..." Godric whispered, but his brother's eyes stayed cold. Decus released Godric and laughed in amusement. He clapped his hands. “What a perfect performance! Sorrow and betrayal! I love that.

Tom had stepped a little closer. “Don't worry. In this monastery there are many people who had only waited for this moment because they had made a pact with Mr. Gehennas, just like us. ”At Tom's explanation, Godric looked at him reproachfully. "You have let yourself be seduced by sin!" Tom laughed. "Oh please! Not that again! ”He brushed a blonde strand backwards. When Godric wanted to take his sacred chain to pray for Tom's sins, Tom rammed his foot into Godric's stomach so that he cried out and was pressed against the wall. “All this praying makes me sick! I had to endure this for so long! I am a ghoul, a servant of the demons and I feel good about it! Still, I had to spend so long here in this filthy place! I only serve Master Decus! He saved me from death! ”Godric bit his lower lip. He didn't understand. Why death? But Godric didn't want to give up on his friend. “Wasn't it you who said that this monastery was a place of miracles? Didn't you tell me that this is a place to feel good, home! ”Godric shouted and remembered the first day he came to this monastery. Brother Tom had picked up the father. Godric worried that so much would have changed that he couldn't do the monastery justice. But it was Brother Tom who kissed his father's hand and laughed at him and took his worries away with words. That everyone was looking forward to Godric and finally wanted to see him home, that everyone was a family and that the monastery was a wonderful place. The father closed his eyes briefly and looked back on this memory, then looked Tom in the eye. He drew in a sharp breath, had an angry expression. Decus laughed. "I have to say. You are not as weak as your ancestors. We had always waited for someone to wake up Lucifer so that we could send him to the eternal hunting grounds. But every father was useless, so we would all of them had to evacuate, "he explained. Lucifer had overheard everything behind the gate. “Send me to the eternal hunting grounds? Ridiculous ... But you've always been like that. ”Decus lifted his head slightly, his long ears dropping slightly. “Oh Lucifer! You'll see what you get out of it. ”Godric looked slightly to the side. No one had told him how his family died or why the Talins had such a short life expectancy. Most of them weren't even thirty. Now he had heard the truth. They were all killed because of Decus' perfidious plan. The father clenched his fists, meanwhile continued to look into Tom's eyes. "I do not believe you. I don't believe that Brother Tom has such a weak mind! ”Godric said seriously. He wasn't going to give up. He had never done that and now he didn't want to start! "You dare ..." Tom hissed, who then looked at Decus. “Oh Master Decus !! Finally kill this father! I beg you, "he pleaded." I want to take his blood with us and become one of yours! "The other monks nodded." Oh please Lord! After such a long time."
