Side story 2: The Fallen star

'Loan your heart to hatred, and you'll find that it pays you back with self-satisfaction.' -Ru The High Priest of Mercy.

On a land filled with black roses as far as the eyes could see a large tablet made of a black material stood. The writing exuded an unfathomable aura and its golden lines blinded those who viewed it.

Near the large towering tablet stood a man covered in tattered black robes. His wool pants were stained brown from the dried blood. His left arm did not belong to a human but a beast long and thin covered in abyss-like skin with sharp claws that seemed to tear into space just with its mere presence.

His legs were like his left hand but other than that he looked like a young man barely older than his teens. His grey and red eyes gave off a lonely and cold feeling as he started at the tablet.

From behind him, ten people appeared each exuding a powerful aura that no mortal could withstand.

"You look tired how about you give up?" the man said.

Out of the entire group he was the only male, he wore a red robe that accentuated his red hair. He wore a silver crown that held small emeralds around it. He held a large flaming halberd that burned its surroundings.

Behind him were nine women that could be considered top models in all the universe. Each held different weapons from normal swords and polearms to rare weapons like ring swords and katars. They each radiated a different elemental aura but most were the normal elements but two gave off the aura of time and rebirth.

The young man turned to look at the group his eyes showed no change as he reached out and two swords appeared appeared in his hands one was normal and the other had segmental groves meaning it was a chain whip sword.

"I see you continue to fight don't say I didn't warn you." the man in red said as he raised his weapon and rushed towards the young man.

The man in red raised his weapon above his head and attacked with all his might. The young man did not look to be paying attention as he started to look around the area. But before the attack landed the young man redirected it to his right and counter-attacked the man in red.

He stabbed with his normal sword and when the man in red made space he used the other chain whip to reach him. The chain weapon wounded his abdomen but it quickly healed and the man attacked again.

The young man kept looking at the field of black roses seemingly lost in thought yet his body fought on auto pilot easily keeping the man in red at bay.

Around the young man, black energy started to warp around him.

"His true form is being revealed stop him!" one of the women yelled.

"I see so that's the most effective way to use my power to think it would take me so long but no matter I have all the time in eternity to learn." the young man muttered as the energy reached its crescendo and entered his body.

The energy finally stopped but in the next instance, it exploded outwards and pierced the sky. The energy formed into what looked like a huge snake with many eyes the sight rivaled Miðgarðsormr's appearance during the twilight of the gods.

It seemed as if all of time had stopped at this point. The energy moved backward and reentered the young man's body but it was not the same young man but an older man in full black armor that took his place.

The man was the size of nearly four adult men his body weighed 780 pounds his armor and weapon would easily make him reach near half a ton in weight.

Above the sky, many stars sparkled shining the area in light. The group looked stunned at his transformation before the man took his giant sword and attacked the group.

"Change of plans we have to retreat!" the man in red yelled as the group split to avoid his attack.

"It won't work." a woman said as her eyes glowed with sliver light.

"Why?" the man in red said as he made his way behind the man.

"He will kill us all we have to have someone stay behind."

"I'll do it!" another woman shouted.

"No, you can't!" the man in red shouted as he launched a flame attack at the man.

"Don't you realize I can be rebirthed I won't die for good just get me some stuff once I'm back ok?" the woman said as she rushed to the man.

"Let's go she'll be fine!" the woman said as she retreated the man in red he hesitated before leaving.

"Come on big guy show me the might you hell long ago!" the woman yelled as she launched two ring swords towards the man.

The man stabbed the sword into the ground and reached out for the two ring swords. He caught them and threw them away so the woman wouldn't have a weapon.

"Well that was worth a try right?" the woman shrugged as she took out another weapon from her spatial storage.

The man's large sword started to shine in bright golden light and runes appeared on the sword.

[ᛟᛞᛁᚾ] was inscribed on the sword the man grabbed the sword and got ready to fight again.

"Show me the power of [the blackest star from nowhere]" the woman said as she attacked quickly with her new weapon.

Around the man, black energy covered him and then quickly faded revealing the young man again.

"True death." the young man said as he cut the woman into with his large sword before quickly leaving.

[you have died starting [REBIRTH] skill]

[skill failed trying again]

[skill failed detected issue host has been infected with [TRUE DEATH] deleting host and resulting to nexus]

The woman's body became ash as she die never to be reborn in any shape or form again.
