BOOK 2 /44 - THE END

Ring - 9th
Realm - MURHIL


Sykerians, Throne Guardians, an Impera Cervus and the only Elder Force within the entire dungeon stood Ina circle.

Silver eyes showed doubt and caution. Athena was not sure about the idea. Ernwes looked sure of it though and the Sykerians seemed okay with it.

"Very well. We follow Ernwes plan".

The Sykerians formed up with the Throne Guardians. Tepes standing in front of then with neighs. Athena shared one last glance with Ernwes and I frowned.

They won't really die. Get over yourself. Nodding to him, he looked forward and raised his hand. Swinging it forward he charged out. Tepes neighed and stomped the ground. He bolted after the Sykerian and the others followed.

She watched for a moment as they raced down the peak. Then she looked up to the flying knights. They've noticed. Two dropped like missiles to the ground. Halfway their blazing wing flapped and took them forward.

She noticed the moment the first two died. Spikes perforating their heads and Telekinesis held them in place. The rest of the knights swooped down like birds of prey.

I'm up.

She waited for a bit, letting the knights get down enough before she acted. Reality Sculptor flared. Athena felt them beneath the ground, moving and slithering. Stretching her hands forward she guided them through the earth and forward.

Tepes. Calling the Imaginara Cervus she sent images into its head.

Sire Bond did its work. The Beast of the Weaver she instantly fly her range of sculpting expand. "Yes". She stomped the ground feeling herself shaking and heaved.

The flying knights were already caught in a clash of spikes and Divine swords with the Sykerians and Throne Guardians. The guardians acted as tanks for the knights beating and the Sykerians picked them off with Telekinesis and spikes. The knights didn't see the vines. Even with the rumbling earth the failed to notice as the vibrations didn't reach them in the air and the sound was a bitutef by the sound of their fiery slash exploding on the ground.

The vines rushed up, splitting fast sharp tips impaled, and grabbed unaware knights. The moment they noticed and turned to cut the vines her Sykerians doubled up their attack. The Throne Guardians surged forward jumping into the air and grabbing some to drag down.

With Tepes channeling her Sculpting it could not recreate spikes for the Sykerians. They instead chargerd forward grabbing their used spikes and rethrowing them. Telekinesis helped to keep them safe as the moved through the battle.

Athena stopped the Sculpting and the vines fell to the earth. Taking out another essence orb she drained it. A quick use of Minf leap and Side step brought her to the plains where she swiftly grabbed some of the knights. Checking ht notifications she got their names.

Min Sculpting the Seraphic Knights was just as easy as the Throne Guardians and Athena got something more from the memory pools in them.

So unlike the Throne Guardians some of them were there when the Guardians and...

Her thoughts froze as she glanced at the final mov of this plains. This is going to be difficult. Atleast I can see how Essence works.

She watched a stream.og golden energy flow from a large golden orb. It was hard to watch the process the essence took inside from the guardians from.thr memories so she left it.

"My Lady".

"Ernwes". The Sykerian captain stood there. " What to you have for me?".

"We lost seven if your Throne Guardians".

"Hmmh. We're any of you injured?".

"No My Lady. The guardians kept us safe". Nodding she found alk the knights were dead. Five should be enough.

"Do they need to rest?". Ernwes looked back at the group.

"No my Lady. We're all in good health".

"Let'sive forward them. The faster we get this dungoen cleared the faster we can head back to the city". Plus I need to log off. My mind has taken enough of this for a day.

"Tell them to start moving. Also I have an idea on what the next mob might be. Come and let's discuss it while we climb".

Nodding he walked off to the others and Athena looked the Seraphic Knights over. Their wings burned with golden flames and looked almost like light. Unlike the Guardians they wore lighter armor and lacked capes. Their swords were interning though. Lean and a bit curved. The helmet was the same though.

Athena looked away to the new peak they were going to climb and couldn't help but wonder just howarhe and tall it was to cover the thing they were going to face.

Hopefully it's just one.

Ring - 6th
Realm - NETHERHEIM


Three pairs of wings beat as threw devils ascended the pillar flying up for the throne. Below a savage beasts jumoe1nams clawed his way up the pillar.

Abel, Melody and Eve landed at the top just a few moments before Adam soared over the top and then came back down with a crash that the pillar seemed to ignore.

"The stone is strong". He commented briefly. No one answered as all eyes locked on the throne and even Adam looked to it too.

Apart from Cain no one had calmed down enough to really take it in. Adam's eyes followed the grooves and lines on the ground moving till the top of the pillar. Did I see such grooves on the pillar?.

Shrugging he turned to Melody. The girl noticing his look shook her head. "If anyone you deserve it more".

"Maybe. But I believe Death is the most powerful of all our domains". He looked to Eve and then to Adam. The Juggernaut nodded in agreement.

"I bring destruction. But destruction feeds death".

"My fires feed death, war feeds death". Abel smiled down her. Melody cringed and kicked his shin

"Told.you not to smile". Abel rolled his eyes and just stared.

"Fine". She turned to Eve. "I won't not ask you"

"Does it matter". Eve muttered. "Its not like anyone here will let me sit on it".

"We won't". Adam barked. Melody sighed mentally. Its just a game no need to be so aggressive.

Wordlessly she stepped closer. Her hands fidgeted and she bit her lips. Standing right in front of it she turned and stared back at Abel. Adam now stood to his left. His head nodded slightly and she exhaled.

Slowly Darkness and Death sat.

The pillar shook like a Titan had sat on it. The black clouds spread and purple lightning flashed within them.

A text appeared for all three to read. Not just them but to all.the denizens of the realm. Anario and Telemra standing in her shadows same the words in their tongue but it meant the same thing.


**First Throne of NETHERHEIM - Claimed**
**High Kaizer of the Abyss - Claimed**


Roars and screeches, howls and outcries filled the air. The Elder's looked at themselvesams stared out into the darkness gripping the land. Below only the fires of Abel's wrath illuminated the ground in a circle.

Then the pillar shook and stone ground on stone.

"Abel!".

The throne was shrinking towards Melody and everyone stared wondering what was happening. One it was just wide enough for her to shift from a side to the other and leave just enough space it stopped.

"What is that?".

To her right, like liquid something was steadily forming and rising. Once it was done the liquid settled.

"Its the throne". Eve murmured.

Everyone just stared.

"There can be more than one?". Adam groaned.

"Abel take it!". Melody's voice brought the three out of their shock and Abel looked at Adam.

"Go on. Death has spoken. Besides I think there'll be another". He scratched his jaw. " Hopefully".

Without a word Fire and War moved to the throne and took his seat. The pillar shook again and new text flashed in everyone's vision. The roars grew and the cries rang louder.


**Second Throne of NETHERHEIM - Claimed**
**Grand Kaizer of the Abyss - Claimed**


Just like with Melody the Throne shrank till it was just wide enough for Abel and then stopped.

"Its back". The liquid was there creating another Throne.

"So we could all have thrones after all". Melody frowned. "The fight just feels meaningless now".

"It was not". Abel grunted. " I didn't fight him for the throne". The girl blinked then nodded.

"Thank you".

He grunted. Turning the watched th3 throne completely form.

Adam blinked. Melody and Abel nodded. The Juggernaut shook the earth as he darted forward like a child but the pillar and throne remained unmoving.

Strength and Destruction collapsed into his Throne and the pillar shook once.


**Third Throne of NETHERHEIM - Claimed**
**Grand Kaizer of the Abyss - Claimed**


Everyone watched with bared breath as liquid once more rose from the ground and formed the finak throne. Everyone had the feeling it was the last one.

Once it was completed everyone turned to Eve. The deviless looked at them and to Melody who nodded. Slowly she walked round and to the throne.

Trickery and Chaos looked at everyone once more before she sat. The pillar shook the final time and the new text appeared for everyone.


**Fourth Throne of NETHERHEIM - Claimed**
**High Kaizer of the Abyss - Claimed**


Everyone ignored the creatures calling around as they waited for the next thing to happen.


**Fifth Throne of NETHERHEIM - Unclaimed**
**Kaizer of the Abyss - Unclaimed**

**Abyssal Connection Set**
**Kaizers Essence Signature Confirmed**
**Spawn Region Unlocked**
**Spawn Effect Unlocked**
**Realm wide Sovereignty activated**


The texts vanished.

"Anyone understand what any of those mean?".The Juggernaut askwd with a confused face.

The pillar shook again. Everyone turned to see if a fifth Throne was coming. The throne's moved. Stone and earth rippling and grinding one another. The throne's moved till each one was set in a perfect cross formation.

A smaller base rose from the center of the pillar. It had a bowl carved into its top and blue liquid held there.

"Uhm. Any ideas?". Adam asked again.

"Drink drink".

"Drink drink".

A chorus of chirps and tiny voices filled the air. Everyone looked up to see sparkles of light trailing behind the fairies.

Adam frowned and Eve just shook her head. No one said it but they were all thinking it. The fairies were nowhere to be seen in the fight but showed up afterwards.

Abel shook his head and turned back to the water. "I think we should drink it".

"Because they say so?". Adam asked.

"Yes. They've not left us astray have they". Melody asked.

"Cowardly but cute". Eve murmured glaring at her fairy standing on her shoulder.

"I'll go first . To be sure". Looking at everyone and getting no arguments Abel stepped around his throne and took the base. Everyone followed but stayed back.

Going down he put his palms in and scooped the liquid up. Bending over he took a sip.


**Tears of the Absolute devoured**

**Domains - Fire, War - Detected**
**Domain - Fire Bound to Elder Devil Abel's Essence**
**Domain - War Bound to Elder Devil Abel's Essence**

**Elder Devil now bound to the Primordial Molliwag**
**Elder Devil now Bound to the Primordial Freyr**
**Congratulations Elder Devil Abel. You are now technically Immortal. So long as your Parents remain in existence you will always exist**

**Ascension complete-Please Hold on**
**Quest - Domain complete**
**Rewards - Please Hold on**


Abel blinked and stepped back. Looking around at the others waiting for him Abel nodded. "It completes the ascension". He looked at Melody a grin splitting his cheeks. "We did it".

The girl shivered but smiled back. "Just this once. Only smile just this once".

----

Beasts and the Depths lay dead within the fires of his murderer. Standing over him a Wraith wolf licked its chops in hunger. Looking around and finding none to drag it's meal it but down hurriedly. Whining in shock it jumped back as the corpse slowly began flaking into ash .

The wraith wolf blinked in shock as the meal it wanted turmed to nothing but ash. Growling in anger and loss it scanned the terrain looking for the culprit. There was none. It turned to leave when it paused.

There wherw it's prey lay was something it was familiar with. But this one was different and strange. It was larger, it was a darker and deeper purple. It called to it. The realm shook and texts appeared. Texts it could see.


**Fifth Seat of NETHERHEIM - Unclaimed**
**Kaizer of the Abyss - Unclaimed**


A portal appeared next to it and the wraith yelped stepping back. It was beast and it knew less to no reasoning but it was sure of one thing. The hand of gray stretching out of that hole was here for the weird orb. The hand seemed to pause as if waiting for something.

The wraith stared at the orb. It felt danger from.i5 and yet the pullx the hunger it gave it for power made it decide. The hand moved and the wraith dashed forward. Locking its jaws around the core it tried to take it.

The core shattered. The hand paused. The realm shook for the final time and slowly the hand withdrew.

The wraith stood as it frozen in time. Waves of black and purple mist and lightning racing over its body. The last thing it dae before darkness consumed it was a confusing line of text.

**Error**
**Error**
** Ascension Error**
**Ascension on Hold**
**Error**

**Akashic Records filing Error**
**Solution Found**
**Solution Set**

**Ascension on Hold**
**Domain Reset**

**Wraith Wolf -> Elder Beast of The Abyss**
**Domain: Beasts and The Depths**

**Ascension on Hold**
**Rewards": Please Hold on**


The mist consumed the wraith wolf and the portal from which the hand came vanished.

----

In a room, an empty pod sat to the side while a player sat at his desk. Hands shook and he gritted his teeth in anger as he looked through the forums.

He saw it then.

GODFALL -> REBIRTH.

The screen refreshed.

GODFALL -> THE END.

Acertain household echoed with the rageful cries of a angered player. Ex-player.
