backing away "argh! dammit" Ziglalth grabs his shoulder looking at his wound "that actually hurt but this isn't enough damage." Ziglalth hell the wound his his shoulder, watching it heal Bjorn thinks "Is the effects not working?" after recovering Ziglalth black flamed energy around his body starts to flow into his hand "Bad Omen! coming out of the flame a sword, the hilt of the blade covered in corrupted flesh as the blade fused into it. "I hope you survive this!" Ziglalth charges Bjorn swinging wildly, Bjorn tries to dodge but can't fully escape due to the size of his body getting cuts and scratches. "Damn this form is becoming a disadvantage, I have the strength to fight but this body is to limited." 30 minutes later over on the fourth line the Western army and the southern forces. the death angels lead the charge killing Arch demons and demonic beasts "we have gained the upper hand hold this position do not to let them gain anymore of a hold." Hayyle shouts, exhausted from the long battle as the day reaches noon the demons retreat into the forest. the death angels in the southern elites gather "we've made them retreat, everything is going well but where is the Eastern forces they should have been here by now." Vincent says to the others "do you think something may have happened?" Coretha replies saying to Vincent, as as they talk amongst their self suddenly rushing to them, they sees Mil'lynn and Madiir covered in injuries carrying two others. "wha...what in the world happened!?" put of breath Mil'lynn explain to the others what is happening in Vita "so you telling that a commander arch devil appeared?" Izrail says "Why can't we feel his presence, we would feel it" Coretha ask Mil'lynn "That thing put up a barrier stopping anything from getting inside, Madiir and I barely made it out of it when it casted it." shocked from hearing the news, " Coretha, Izrail go back with Beno and Darrin to Vita to help Bjorn. back in the city laying in a crater Bjorn back in his regular form cover in cuts bleeding. "(Coughing up blood) Da..damn" standing in front of him Ziglalth "This is the end of you demon boy!" swing down Ziglalth stabbing through Bjorn's chest into his heart, "Argh!!!" leaving the sword in Bjorn slowly bleeding he thinks hearing his heart beating. "is...this...the end?" as he bleeds out suddenly he body start spazzing becoming overcome with demonic energy, surging through him his body starts to change but not fully. Ziglalth turns around looking down at Bjorn's body moving with his eyes closed, "?" suddenly piercing through his skin dark emerald scales all over his body, Bjorn eyes open changing into the snake eyes. Two jagged horns start to grow from his head, as he begins to raise up off the ground Bjorn pulls the sword out of his chest, letting bloods spew out everywhere and then his wound begins to heal suddenly letting out a screeching Roar. a white energy almost fur like energy appears around Bjorn's neck like a lions mane. "I can't believe you survived that, I have never seen this before." Staring at Ziglalth Bjorn let's out an overwhelming bloodlust enhanced with demonic energy. "?" Bjorn shoots an acidic energy beam at Ziglalth, surprised he dodges to the side and appearing right in front of him Bjorn swing trying to claw him barely missing. "I see you have some new tricks now charging at me wildly almost like a wild beast" Ziglalth checks Bjorn's energy "seems he made a breakthrough his strength has increased but due to the how he changed his isn't in the right mind." they begin clashing Bjorn rushes attacking with no regard for damage. "Take this!" Ziglalth palms Bjorn's face then flies up covering his hand in black flames then throws Bjorn down at high speed, Crashing to the ground Bjorn bounce back up from the force of hitting the ground. then Ziglalth gather demonic energy into his fist the flies down punching Bjorn back into the ground. as Ziglalth connects the blow Bjorn digs his claws into his forearm pulling out a chuck of flesh. Bjorn gets up jumping back and shoots another acidic energy blast at Ziglalth, but this time when he tries to dodge he suddenly become dizzy and his vision becomes. "What!?" taking the full blast of Bjorn's attack Ziglalth Is burned by the acidic blast melting away skin on his chest. Increasing his demonic energy, at the same time arriving outside the demonic dome placed on Vita "This is the barrier they we're talking about, how are we going to get through?." Darren says "Step back I will try to pierces it" Izrail says "Death Chain" Channel his energy Izrail forms a chain with a blade on the tip, Izrail spins then sending the chain at the barrier. Izrail attack is defected "Damnit this is a strong barrier" He says Back to Bjorn inside the barrier Ziglalth collapses coughing blood, "why am I feeling like this, I'm sure I healed the poison...ugh" Ziglalth struggles to stand as Bjorn walks up to him hissing "Haha for I the great Ziglalth fall to poison." Ziglalth says as he continues cough up blood standing in front of him Bjorn stands, looking up into Bjorn eyes Ziglalth says "this isn't over" as Bjorn slices Ziglalth head off and his body falls over. then slowly Bjorn body changes back to normal, the Demonic barrier disappears revealing the city. falling to the ground Bjorn exhausted and covered with injuries. outside the city Coretha and the other suddenly sees barrier disperse and they Rush In, slowly moving through the city they see your bodies of soldiers and demons everywhere they come across "these bodies....they were killed in a single move." Beno says moments later they sees Bjorn and the headless arch devils body "Did he fight it alone and kill it" Darren shouts to the others "but look at his injuries he is hurt pretty is he still alive." Coretha crouches down next to Bjorn to sees if he is breathing , "....mhm" "he is alive we need to move him to a secure area." Beno picks up Bjorn using his energy to limit the damage him, as the begin to leave Vita they go back to the other forces. 30 minutes later they arrive bringing Bjorn "He is in rough shape take him to get healed!" Beno yells soldiers rush over and grab Bjorn taking him away, been on any others had to go talk to Hayyle. "so tell me how was the situation?" "Vita is fine but most of the townspeople are dead, this whole town was littered with corpses of demons and that of our soldiers. when we arrive there was a large barrier a extremely strong one in fact, Izrail tried to pierce it but it was deflected after a few attempts it's suddenly dispersed on its own and when we arrived we seen Bjorn lying covered in injuries right next to a headless demon that we can only assume that is the archival from how it looked." Beno says to Hayyle "so you're telling me that this newly appointed boy has defeated one of the commanders in the demon factions..an arch devil, that would mean this boy has to be at least orange stage those commanders are no joke. the gods did tell me that he had an unique blessing that only he has." Coretha cuts in "this is still hard to explain though for one how did they even get a commander this far past our line without us noticing it?" she ask "only thing I can come up with is that thing summoned it I don't know how maybe a ritual of some sort it's the only possible explanation." Hayyle replies "he couldn't have been an orange stage as I was carrying them I can only feel the energy of the blue stage, what ever his blessing is it must be strong." Beno tells them "once the boy is healed bring him to me so we can have the full story, I do not want to hear only speculations I want to hear what happened from the source we will leave some forces here for now and retreat back to the main camp." Hayyle orders, over to Bjorn laying wrapped in bandages laid in a bed in the medical tent, Madiir and Mil'lynn watch over him while the healer is on the way. moments later walking into the tent the western armies healer "hello I am the healer I was here earlier I was told there is a new patient for me to see." the healer says to Mil'lynn "Yes this is him" The heal walks over to check over Bjorn's Injuries, after a few minutes of looking over Bjorn he finishes "these injuries that he has are quite serious, I will only be able to do first aid using energy to heal the minor one but he needs to rest for a while." the healer tells Mil'lynn and Madiir the nod their head then the healer puts his hands over and energy flows out alike a golden fog coving Bjorn healing the minor injuries he has. "I am done now he should wake up tomorrow around noon if he has a strong will." the healer leaves the tent "what do you think happened, do you think they killed that demon?" Madiir ask Mil'lynn "I don't know most likely because they returned and only bjorn is injured, I'm going to go inform Hayyle imbalance Bjorn's recovery." Mil'lynn leaves the tent heading to Hayyle and the other death angels "Hayyle, the healer said that he should be able to wake up tomorrow around noon but could only heal the minor injuries he has because the injuries are so severe that he would need to rest for a while." Mil'lynn tells Hayyle and the other death angels "Mil'lynn, I have a question for you about Bjorn." Hayyle ask Mil'lynn "Yes what is the question?" Mil'lynn replies "What is Bjorn's blessing? would he be able to take out a commander demon?" Hayyle ask "I also want to know, I was quite curious when we went to go get him and the dead body of the arch devil was next to him." Izrail says to her Mil'lynn thinks "bjorn was the one who killed that demon? he did have a power up before we left but I don't know." then says "Bjorn's blessing is really unique it allows him to transform into a serpent like dragon, he is also able to use demonic energy which makes his Blessing unique." with surprised looks on their face "he's able to transform himself into a serpent like dragon, I can see how he could have won being able to use two types of energy means a longer battle but we will get the final explanation tomorrow. thank you Mil'lynn for coming and telling us this." Hayyle replies saying to Mil'lynn, leaving the the death angels talk amongst themselves "being able to transform his self into a mythical life Beast that is quite a blessing." Rachel's says "yes I would like to see it once he recovers." the next day in the medical tent Bjorn slowly wakes up "ugh wha...what!?" Bjorn suddenly jumps up "Calm down Bjorn we are in the camp near the forest we will be returning soon leaving most of our forces here." Madiir says to Bjorn walking into the tent "What's going on? I thought I was dead." Bjorn says sitting back down "Hayyle sent four soldier to come help you." cutting Madiir off Mil'lynn comes in "Hey, Bjorn can we talk for a second, sorry Madiir." Mil'lynn says Madiir leaves the tent leaving only Bjorn and her, "So tell me how you killed him?" surprised Bjorn looks at her " kill who? that demon I didn't kill them, I thought it was whoever came and helped. last thing I remember was being stabbed in the chest by that demon." Bjorn replies
