Dreadful Lilies

Taking a step back, Edward looked around his surroundings to see everything slowly getting submerged in a thick dark fog. "No One" walked closer to him, their hands clasped together tight in a prayer like manner.

"What are you scared of?" "No One" mocked once more.

Edward took out his revolver and aimed at "No One"s forehead. In which "No One" replied with a chuckle as they slowly walked towards him.

"Give me one good fucking reason not to kill you." Edward cocked the hammer of the revolver back.

The air was tense with the sheer power of the two, and soon the police department was fully submerged in the thick dark fog. The people outside of the police department could only see it emitting the thick black smoke.

"This fog has a deadly poison in it, and I can snap my fingers and the whole city will be covered in it." they explained as they took a document from the floor, inspecting it.

Bang!

A bullet came out of the revolver's barrel piercing through "No One"s forehead, but it did no damage as they revealed themselves to be made of the same black smoke. Edward quickly engulfed both his arms in the fiery crimson aura, but "No One" stood still.

"I won't attack because I'm just here to warn you that the Wyrm Howl Cult are almost done reviving the Scorched Wyrm." No One spoke as they flicked Edward's forehead.

Small residue of the black smoke entered Edward amplifying his Echo as "No One" slowly vanished right before speaking one last Tim, "I'll see you soon, old friend."

The thick black fog slowly lifted up as the officers around slowly woke up, and Edward stood there silent as he gathered his thoughts of the information he just gained.

Brring! Brring!

His phone rang out from his pockets, he picked it up as the voice of Kieran was heard.

"Traitorous bastard, on Halloween the Wyrm Howl Cult will start their plan to control Tundor City. So you better prepare, and don't die before I get to kill you myself." Kieran warned before he abruptly ended the call.

Sighing, Edward quickly grabbed a notepad and wrote down all the information he had gotten before placing on his desk as he left the police department.

Of course Edward was confused, but he knew that Kieran was telling the truth since he had saved him from Manor Black. But, Edward was still skeptical on what "No One" had said to him since the creature killed him after all.

He entered his apartment, and rushed upstairs to his room where he was met by a sword to his left shoulder. Standing in front of his room was a lion masked Wyrm Howl Cult member who stabbed Edward with a sword made of crimson roots with thorns on its edges.

"The Scorched Wyrm sends his prayers!" the man exclaimed as he took the sword out of his torso and swung it towards his throat.

Edward quickly counted by punching the masked man in his face. He then quickly followed the punch with a flaming kick to the masked man's chest breaking his ribs, and burning his robe.

The lion masked man rolled out of the way as he put out the fire before trying to swing the sword towards Edward's stomach. Edward took a step back before placing his palm on the man's chest allowing the fire to rush inside the masked man's body.

The fiery crimson aura attacked all of the organs, blood vessels, including the DNA of the masked man which instantly killed the man from the inside. Finally he entered his room, and grabbed a dusty old book, the front cover barely stuck to the book.

And before he left the apartment complex he could hear the sounds of sirens outside his apartment. Peaking out, he could see fighter fighters rushing towards a building which was burning with large serpents coiled around the building. From the ground were lumps of flesh tied together forming the symbol of the Wyrm Howl Cult.

Seeing all of this made Edward think he was in a nightmare or it was all a illusion. Tundor City had been consumed by the Scorched Wyrm and its followers, slowly the buildings broke piece by piece forming spiky lumps of flesh attached together while cars were overgrown with roots, and flesh.

The whole city was being absorbed within the Scorched Wyrm as the ground shook frantically, and every civilian ran through nearby evacuation shelters. 

4 days had past, and all of the countries in the Xethos Continent were calling it the Tundor's Scorched Apocalypse, all of Tundor City was overgrown with crimson flora, flesh, and serpents. The evacuation shelters were filled with civilians as the Golden Tooth Mafia, Edward, and of course the Wyrm Howl Cult were the only ones out in the open.

Kieran was sitting on the edge of a burger restaurant as he stared at the crimson city, and behind him was the rest of the 13 Tooth except for the top 3.

"Looks like Hell finally decided to conquer." Jensen commented as he prepared his two deagles.

Leila giggled before she kissed her scythe, and jumped down laughing as she killed any crimson serpent she saw. Willem sighed at this sight before flying towards her to watch over her just in case she gets too crazy.

"Hey Dr. Jiang how many crimson Abnormalities are there?" asked Kieran as he prepared an incoming storm.

Jiang chuckled before replying, "Twenty Thousand my friend," 

He prepared his signature black gloves before sliding down the rooftop to another one. Then the remaking Tooth jumped down except for Jensen who was sitting on a floating giant whale that Kieran called.

The Crimson Fog has finally arrive, and soon the Scorching Fauna shall feast, and after that shall the Scorched/Blood Wyrm rule over its new Kingdom.

A story every Wyrm Howl Cult member has read, and heard of as they awaited for the orders of their dear Lord Father. All of them in rows as they knelt before the Lord Father and his 5 Trumpets.

"At last the day has come for our God to rule over this forsakened city, and I your Lord Father, and the Scorched Wrym's vessel shall lead all of you to paradise. So I ask of thee all of you to preach our prayers, and execute the heretics that stand against us!" the Lord Father preached out as every Wyrm Howl Cult member all answered amen.

"And to end this off, do not execute Edward Benedict Martin, for he shall be judged by me and our dear God!"

With those final sayings, every Wyrm Howl Cult member rushed out of the overgrown church, and the Lord Father including his 5 Trumpets remained waiting for Edward.

Back at the beach house of Laxus in Moonlit.

Laxus was see wearing black sunglasses as he pulled his yellow jacket around his shoulders, and walked out of the beach house with animals including Katherine.

"I don't wanna miss this event!" he grinned as he jumped in the air, and multiple eagles latched their feet on his jacket bringing him to Tundor City.

The Crimson Apocalypse of Tundor has finally begun, and the most prominent figures of this even were Edward, the Lord Father, Kieran, and "No One".
