CHAPTER LI: Might, Power and Trump Cards
CHAPTER LI: Might, Power and Trump Cards
“YOU amazed me, brother. Is that what love can do to you?” Astaroth asked Mammon, taunting him with a pestering smile plastered on his face. Mammon was taken aback because of Astaroth’s question. What did Astaroth mean? How come love was being dragged in to the topic? My forehead creased as my eyebrows furrowed.
I heard him clear his throat before giving a response to his brother that was not really connected to the question. “Don’t drag that here, Astaroth. I know that you were after me so bring it on!” Mammon exclaimed then the aura around him became more intense. But if I’m going to analyze Mammon, he was trying to divert the topic.
Astaroth finally stood up from sitting complacently on his chair decorated with a petrified snake on its headboard. But after a while, the petrified snake came to life and it slithered on his right han

CHAPTER LII: Memories of the FallenHe’s controlling the dead. Astaroth has the power to summon dead people from their grave and use them as he wishes--a necromancer. I and Raid eliminated hundreds of these living corpses but their numbers were not decreasing. They kept on coming.We were being careful because as we went near to them, they spewed a poisonous gas. And the whole arena now is being engulfed with a thick toxic fog, restraining us to move freely without covering our nose and closing our eyes to prevent the noxious air from entering our body. This is insane! Now, we need to rely only on our instinct. I need to concentrate and sense where the next attack will be coming from.“Cerina, behind you,” Mammon told me so I quickly pivoted my body and released a black slash of my weapon. A deep voice grunted followed by a crunchy sound as the dead corpse disintegrated into thin air. I was stunned when I felt an attack coming from above.
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER LIII: Betrayal and Broken Promise
CHAPTER LIII: Betrayal and Broken PromiseI keep on swinging my weapon to slash these balls of dark energies pursuing me and to eliminate these annoying living corpses tainted with filth and poisonous stench. Not yet. I can’t resort to that. I need to reserve my trump card in this fight for Astaroth. I know he has many more to offer in his sleeve. But I’m thinking he’s a really worthy opponent because he’s using underhanded tactics to exhaust us and push us to our limits. D*mn that coward demon king! Why don’t he fight us himself?“Because that’s the nature of his cursed magic. He’ll use his enemy’s loved one or someone close to them to make them feel betrayed. Astaroth believes that betrayal does not come from enemies stabbing you behind your back but it comes the from person you trusted the most,” Mammon answered my question while I continue evading and slashing those attacks from the enemy’s puppe
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER LIV: Farewell, My Brother
CHAPTER LIV: Farewell, My BrotherI laid Raid’s lifeless body on the ground. “You fought a good fight, Raid. Thank you… thank you for everything you did for me. I appreciate you. You may take rest now. Rest in me… my love,” I muttered without any hint of emotion in my voice.I bowed my head and positioned my left hand with my palm facing him. I wrapped his body with black feathers and put him inside my celestial realm along with Archmaster Leonard and Archmistress Demia. Basically, I can’t use my celestial realm in this fight because they will be affected. But that is not a problem because I still have Mammon’s cursed realm and have trained myself to manifest it in the outside world.A tear escaped my left eye as I completely absorbed Raid using Beelzebub’s gluttony. There’s no time for mourning the dead. Vela was right. We are at war. We should not let our emotions get in our way or else our lives might be

CHAPTER LV: TraitorI and Astaroth keep on exchanging blows. The snake on his right hand turned into a long iron rod and he’s using it to counter my attacks. He attempted to thrust his weapon to me but I was able to grab it. However, I immediately loosened my grip on it when its higher tip suddenly turned into a serpent and it tried to bite my arm. I gritted my teeth as I have remembered how it found an opening on me earlier to inflict a poison in my spiritual realm that targeted Mammon.I need to think quickly on how to defeat this filthy demon. I need to find a gap. I stepped backward and jumped meters away from him. “Cancer, please help me bring my enemy down. I’m begging you,” I said mentally. I concentrated and channeled all my divine magic and celestial mana in my weapon.My grace turned back into its former state because Mammon’s curse left it the moment he died. My divine magic also came back to me without a taint of dark ma
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER LVI: Confusion, Sorrow and Extreme Fear
CHAPTER LVI: Confusion, Sorrow and Extreme FearMy friends came to me and assisted me to stand up on my feet. I looked at them one by one with a blank expression in my face. The rain is still pouring down from the sky but they didn’t mind if they will be soaked. Their eyes are filled with sorrows. They took me in the shed of the viewing deck of the arena while my mind was so pre-occupied by multitude of thoughts. I don’t know but every time I remember Astaroth saying that there was a traitor among us, there was a voice in my head telling me that I should not trust them.That demon was sincere and serious that time when he warned me so I have this intuition that he was telling the truth. And it frustrates me that I wasn’t able to know that d*mn truth. Though I know I wasn’t ready for it. I might collapse if I learn that one them is going to betray me. But it’s bugging in my head especially that truth is concerned about Mother Ariana’s

CHAPTER LVII: Demons and DeceptionsThe fires are dancing around the fighting arena and they created small dotted flares that sparkled on the night sky like what can be witnessed in fireworks display during New Years on Earth. The view was mesmerizing, but, I realized it’s not the time to be amazed.“Before we begin the next bout, allow me to introduce to you first the fighters,” the announcer started. And without further much a do, he began with the introduction of his demon lord.“Hailing from the side of the revered demon kings, we have King Satanel or also known as Satan in other regions of the demon realm,” he loudly uttered and there was a bliss in his voice as he mentioned the name of his respected demon lord. That name… it’s enough to inflict fear in my whole system. Cold sweats started to form on my forehead not because of the temperature of the surrounding but because of the agony within me.According t

CHAPTER LVIII: The Whole TruthSilence reigned between us. It seemed like we were observing who will attack Vela first. Should I move now? Not yet. I should carefully think of a way on how to take her down. She’s a formidable magic knowing that she can gather endless supply of mana from different timelines.“What are you waiting for, Celestial Twelve? She is outnumbered so there’s no doubt you could defeat her. Just believe in yourselves,” Goddess Lumia cheered us.“Wait a minute, Goddess Lumia. Before we start the fight, can someone make a detailed explanation or narration on how Vela ended up as our enemy? And what about Caya? We thought Vela is just an altered ego of her? Besides, you called her as your daughter earlier, Goddess Lumia. So how and why things turned this way? Because no matter how I comprehend the whole situation and how I try to untangle the events, everything is beyond my understanding,” Glade asked out of

CHAPTER LIX: The Dawn of the Final BattleI can’t move my whole body. Even my eyeballs but I can still see those in front of me and can still hear what’s happening in our surroundings. It’s like my body had frozen but my mind is still functioning.My thoughts came into halt when Lotus’ voice echoed in my head. He’s using thought communication through his Mind magic. “Vela, as we all know, has the ability to control and stop time. She can slow and fast forward events, too. She can also gather mana from different timelines, making her supply of mana limitless. However, she doesn’t have the ability to stop some of our bodily functions with her Time Magic. That’s why I can still use my mind to connect with you,” he started. He was about to speak again but was taken aback when he received a fatal blow from her sister, making Lotus groaned mentally.“I know you were using your Mind Magic to devise a pla
