Rox... you pathetic leech! 4

"When I'm done, everyone will die tonight, and not even one soul is going to leave my shadow to tell the tale~"

Christopher spoke and what followed next was silence. A complete silence, a dead silence that no one dared to break for a few seconds.

The wind blew around the town, lightning was slashing the stormy sky, and the ground was on the verge of collapsing.

Christopher's statement fell like a death sentence for all those present.

If before there were doubts about his origin as a Darkness King, now with this statement, every doubt was unconsciously erased throughout the lands of the entire Aragos.

The death silence continued to linger upon the entire battlefield and when these words, spoken by this new star rising in power, were finally registered in the minds of all the Vampires and Angels present, in the minds of all the curious Supernaturals who were watching this encounter from afar or from their homes, when those words reached the depths of the hearts of all beings present…

All beings felt fear, a primordial fear, that consumed their entire existence.

Homes because this encounter started being recorded and broadcasted by Anna, with a wide smile on her face, for the citizens of Sangruil who were cheering for their Lord in their homes.

"What a wonderful idea Anna~" Selena spoke, satisfied as Anna, who was holding a recording device smiled back at her in response.

With girls, she decided that media are good propaganda tools, and with the help of the media, they can gain even more influence over this dead planet.

Don't understand it wrong, she may be coming from an ancient kingdom of Spirits but her mind and thinking are different.

With the citizens, she participated numerous times in research of something that could catch an image or record a video, all thanks to her passion for her Darling who shared some of his knowledge about cameras from Earth.

And from this passion the citizens shared as well, they later discovered something similar to the camera.

Immediately, Anna supported this discovery and even brought a few models for herself.

You never know when an event like this might occur.

...

From afar, a group of Witches from Withpoke were watching this incident as well.

They came to rescue their sister, who fell into the hands of Rox while spying on him, but amid this encounter, they rather decided to watch instead.

Intervening into this clash would be only hurtful to them and their faction, so at least, they're recording everything.

Looking at a big screen floating in front of her which was covered in green magic, a blond-haired woman was sitting on a throne made from branches and leaves, wearing a small mischievous smile.

"At long last, The Lord of Sangruil~." Spoke the woman as her green eyes which had a complicated magic circle rotating in them glistered with excitement.

"Show me what you're made of~" the woman spoke as she leaned closer toward the floating screen.

...

The same goes for the Goddess of the Credia Empire who began watching Christopher and his actions after their telepathic talk.

Sitting inside her Egyptian-looking throne room, she felt slight fear when watching the individual she found interest in.

"What a terrible creature you bestowed upon me, God of Christians~" she chuckled, feeling her insides twitch with lust upon his gaze.

"But don't you worry, I'll take care of his needs~," she said as her eyes turned completely black and a raven landed on her shoulder.

"Go, my love, protect him, protect my beloved soldier in his toughest wars~" spoke the Goddess as the raven on her shoulder flew in the air and left the colossal throne room made from pure gold.

...

Now, as Christopher stood in front of a horde of Vampires facing him in fear, he smiled widely which sent shivers down their spines.

The entire situation worsened when a golden divine light covered Christopher and a sign of a flaming Raven appeared behind him.

'That bitch...' Rox muttered when he felt the divine blessing that fell upon Christopher's existence.

Everybody who saw the sign of Raven clearly understood one thing.

'Sangruil and Credia are allies! ' Jena thought a similar thing that Adam, her brother did, as they together slowly started planning their escape.

'I don't like this situation one bit, Jena.' Adam telepathically spoke to his sister who nodded in agreement.

'Same... Let's wait until he's busy with the bait. Then we will escape. Fuck Rox and Amanel. We should have denied this request from the start.' Replied Jena at which Adam nodded in response, and they together backed down.

...

[... Withpoke ...]

"THAT BITCH! " the Witch Queen shouted in rage as she punched the screen in front of her made from green magic when she saw the Raven sign behind the Sangruil Lord's back.

The screen collapsed in a second and a big explosion filled the Withpoke's entire throne room with dust, in which only a pair of glowing crimson-red eyes could be seen.

"First, she stole my property, then she stole my Husband, and now, she wants to steal him from me as well?! " the Queen shouted as countless magic circles started appearing all around the big hall-like room.

The color of these magic circles was at first green but then, they changed into crimson-red. 

"I'll show you, you Goddess slut! No one will try to steal from me and escape without being punished! " The Witch Queen screamed at the end as those magic circles expanded until they suddenly disappeared in a blinding reddish light.

...

'What in the world is this? ' Christopher thought as his right hand was glowing with a golden divine light while his left hand was covered in reddish magic aura.

Suddenly, the golden light started glowing stronger, exceeding the magic aura of his left hand countless times.

But then, the reddish magic aura suddenly started acting weird as if it wanted to be on pair with the divine light, and began to pulsate until the light was almost blinding.

Everyone who saw this started sweating like a pig about to be slaughtered.

'Just how much power does the monster in front of them have? ' Was the thought that circulated in the minds of every individual on Rox's side, including Rox himself.

'Those two betraying whores! They're clearly breaching the rules of our contract! ' thought Rox as he recalled a memory of his father, the Goddess of Credia, and the Withpoke Witch Queen who made a contract to protect each other.

"..."

And only then, Rox understood.

'That was not a contract between the Lords as individuals, but between the posts of the Lords. Whoever becomes a Lord of Sangruil, Withpoke, or Credia has the protection of his two neighbors. That's why...'

'AAAAHHHHHH! FATHER YOU IDIOT! ' Rox screamed with rage in his mind as he understood that unconsciously, his Father granted Christopher a red button to control two weapons of mass destruction.

Meanwhile, feeling slightly uncomfortable, Christopher asked 'Nicolle, is this your doing? ' as he glanced at his hands filled with extremely raw power.

'No, that's not me, it's coming from outside. Clearly, someone is blessing you Master, but I can't recall an incident like this...' Nicolle replied.

'What do you mean you can't? Isn't it normal? ' Christopher asked.

This time, Ardelean replied.

["What she means is that two individuals are blessing you constantly. Normally, when someone powerful blesses someone, the individual gains a small power boost and that's it. "]

["But in your case, brother, it's different. It looks more like they're fighting over you instead of just giving you their blessing and leaving you alone. A fight about who can give you a stronger blessing. At least, that's how it looks like..."]

'Fighting over me, huh... What am I? A price? ' Christopher had doubts that someone would fight over him, but then, turning around toward his brides and Master, and seeing their displeased gazes upon his own existence, he clearly understood that it was possible.

After all, even Selena, his bellowed Master now looks like she wants to devour him so she can be alone with him.

And understanding this fact that someone was fighting to win him like a prize, annoyed and later irritated him completely.

As he was about to say something, the two blinding aura covering his hands suddenly started acting strange.

The golden divine light began to dissipate and turned into a black raven while the reddish magic aura started changing shape too, becoming a snake with black scales that had small reddish patterns all over themselves.

Seeing the blood-red gaze of the Cobra that was gently squeezing his cold forearm and the fully black gaze of the Raven, Christopher sighed, annoyed.

'Women...' he thought as he grabbed the Raven and the Cobra by their throats and threw them behind him like trash.

'I don't need a borrowed power to win the battle I choose...' he thought, and coughed.

*COUGH! "Forgive me for this inconvenience... You know what happens when you become famous. Fans can be quite, competent..." Christopher smiled widely as the reaction of his enemies filled his soul with satisfaction.

"Bruh, this? An Inconvenience? Are you serious?! " The Vampires thought.

After this statement, and how the man in front of them treated the blessings of the two Queens, their fear started being built up, and in response to that fear…

Consciousness was erased from the Vampires present, and instinct prevailed.

Therefore, all the Vampires' reaction was unanimous.

"We need to get rid of this abomination! Therefore, we need to KILL HIM! KILL THE LORD OF SANGRUIL! "

Nobody knew who screamed those words. 

Was it Amanel? Rox? Someone else? Nobody paid enough attention to it, but this man's words made these Supernatural beings present loosen their restraints completely.

They ignored rationality and attacked him like crazy with the blood in their veins boiling.

ROOOOOOOOOOAR!

Vampires, Angels, all these beings present showed their true form, their primordial form, and attacked Christopher all at the same time.

Pillars of blood and light powers erupted for the bodies of Christopher's enemies who started running and flying at him like he was a prey they were ready to feast on.

A few angels' bodies present with Amanel's started glowing white as their clothes turned into golden armor and their weapons got enveloped in holly light while the Vampire knights turned into monsters from your worst dreams.

Their skin turned pale, extremely pale, their nails grew into long claws, their eyes glowed blood red and because of their madness, all of them tore their armors from their bodies for better movement and greater speed.

"..." Selena displays a sneer at the Vampires' and Angels' expressions and instinctively takes a step back with all the girls next and behind her because she understands that something big is about to come when she sees Christopher's stance.

The air started circulating around Christopher like water in waves as the lightning mixed with water drops started falling from the sky.

['Yeees! PUNISH THEM! ']

Christopher heard the distorted voice of the Darkness in his mind as his body began to feel an incredible power boost and excitement coming from his newly acquired Dragonheart.

But, instead of dwelling on it too much like he used to, he let the unknown energy flow through his veins, filling him completely.

The feeling he got from the energy was insane. He felt like a God of War on the verge of battle.

He felt like he was in his home again, in a place that his mom showed him one time, the place where he was born and a place he almost forgot about.

'When I get out of here, I will visit them...' he thought but felt suddenly that something about his body was off.

'Hmm, I don't recognize this one...' he spoke with his inner voice as Ardelean's words only agreed with his thinking.

["Christopher, something is invading your soul..."]

From the word 'something', and the feeling he got enveloped in, Christopher understood that the energy coursing through his veins now began to change somehow and that Ardelean had no idea who or what it might be.

He also knew that it wasn't one of the two women who fought over him, he would recognize the taste of their power.

From understanding all concepts of the universe through books and Ardelean's speeches, he concluded that someone new from the outside started interfering with his inner being.

The power in his body was not only his now but was mixed with someone else's.

And to make matters worse, he found himself being familiar with the power somehow...

As he dwells upon the knowledge of powerful individuals in Aragos, he finds no knowledge of someone with the power of this caliber.

The only theory he can come up with is that the power belongs to a Primordial, a being outside this planet who is also one of the beings controlling the concepts or the balance over the Universe.

Even a similar pattern was present, which is invading individuals or realms with their power without explaining anything.

So, there was no doubt that the Primordials were watching this encounter but what was more concerning was the mentioned familiarty.

It was like he knew the individual or was related to him or her.

'But why? Did I somehow attract their attention? ' Christopher asked himself.

The energy was so powerful and pure that he could literally feel every atom of his being, which felt extremely satisfying but also, this energy was coming from an unknown source.

Even when he felt a familiarity with it, he needed to protect himself in case of an unseen attack.

Therefore, he decided to make a necessary countermeasure.

'Nicolle, protect my soul in case the energy tries to harm me somehow. If you need something more, ask Arddelean.'

'What Energy? ' Nicolle asked, startled.

["You can't feel it? "] Ardelean asked in surprise.

'No! And that pisses me off now! '

'Interesting... Ardelean, explain to her what is happening and try to locate the source as well.' Christopher spoke.

["Roger that..."]

Trying to understand what is happening while dodging the upcoming attacks of the Vampires, Christopher recapitulated everything in his mind.

At first, he felt only the energy of his Dragonheart but somehow, this energy got mixed with something else, coming from an unknown source but somehow familiar.

'Who could it be...' Christopher thought once more as he danced between the Vampires and Angels.

He knew this was not a coincidence and that someone wanted to see something, but he couldn't think of what the individual wanted.

Most of the time when these individuals interfere, they go after two things.

Either they want to destroy the land of the individual or they want to evolve it.

Meanwhile, his soul merged completely with his new Dragonheart and began to fuel his body even more and as if this was not enough to prove that someone was forcefully evolving his being, the next thing was.

As he unconsciously squeezed his swords from a slight pain in his entire body, Christopher's eyes started glowing purple as an image was shown in his mind, while the one who interfered stopped the time in the entire Aragos' dimension.

Suddenly, an image appeared, containing an oval portal with purple flames rotating around it, forming a sight resembling a mirror.

The image inside the mirror showed Christopher, kneeling in front of the dead body of his first wife Vicki while everywhere around were lying thousands of pieces of flesh and bones.

Behind Christopher stood an unknown man with black and reddish medieval armor, holding Christopher by his shoulder.

On Christopher's right and left stood his right and left hands, Merener and Frederic, and the entire land around looked like an apocalyptic version of Earth.

The sky was blood-red and everything around was covered in sand, blood, and twisted bodies.

As Christopher inspected the vision of himself, Christopher in the vision suddenly looked at him with madness and rage.

His eyes were black like he was possessed, his teeth sharp like daggers, his claws long and pointy, and his long black hair, moving with the wind.

He looked like an older version, resembling the monster known as Nosferatu.

"Hah, so this is the day, huh? Finally... Well to let you know, I wasn't quick enough, and this is the outcome, Christopher... But you, you now know the future... I didn't..." spoke Christopher from the vision and got up, taking slow steps toward the portal and his past self.

'Future?...' Christopher thought as he asked quickly.

"So the interference... it's you huh?"

"I can't say but consider it a gift I didn't have..." the future Christopher responded.

As Christopher's eyes fell upon Vicki's twisted and little burned body, his rage appeared, filling the questions he asked next.

"Who was it? Who did that?! "

"I can't, and I'm sorry for that. You must understand that if I say something more or agree with you on something, it will destroy the balance."

"Fuck the balance, I need to know! " Christopher insisted on the desire to wipe off the individual who killed his wife in the future.

"No, you must not! You must care for the balance! If not, something similar like this will happen to you as well. Without the balance, what would we be? Just a mindless beasts filled with desire to only fuck, sleep and eat."

"Huh? " Christopher narrowed his eyes but decided to listen to his future self.

"Listen to me carefully, I don't have much time, and you as well. Soon, they will find me, and kill me in this reality! And then, they will go after the only one that's left. You! "

"They fear us because we are unique. For them, we are a Singularity of unpredictability, and that's your only weapon."

"I can only give you another three pieces of advice you would need for the not-so-distant future. I didn't have them and therefore, I risked the safety of our family countless times throughout my long unlife, losing some possible members of our Family in the process."

"What are you talking about? " Christopher asked as he didn't understand a thing. One second, he was ready to clash with his enemies, not caring about anything else than his revenge, and the next, he was talking to his future self while being forcefully evolved?!

"Shut up and listen if you want your brides and the rest of your family to stay alive! " spoke Christopher from the future.

"First, not everyone close to you is always who you think they are! Trust your instincts but don't be paranoid. Paranoia will kill you. Remember trust your instincts but don't be misled by them! "

"I don't understand! " Christopher complained but his future self ignored him and quickly continued.

"You will at the right time! "

"Second, never let desire cloud your judgment. Never let your guard down, until you can truly trust the individual you chose as an ally or a woman you chose as your bride. I almost lost my life a few times like this and... Rose died because of this too..."

Hearing this, Christopher's eyes turned completely dark as if the demon inside him showed that he was present and now truly pissed off because of the name of his wife and the word "died" mentioned in a single sentence.

"Third, train! Never ever ignore training! Even if you reach an Enlightenment block! "

"You see, our bodies are working differently than the rest of the Supernatural world, brother. We are special because we don't need training to truly gain power! Ardelean probably explained to you already what Enlightenment is, but we are not bound by the rules of this Universe, nor by any other rules. Eventually, you will find out what this really means but trust me, training will help you speed up this process countless times."

"But, the reason behind this advice is that in the future, a few very powerful individuals will come for your head, and they're not only from this Universe." the future Christopher spoke.

"What? " Christopher narrowed his eyes even more.

"Hah, as you may probably know-"

The future Christopher was about to say something more about the topic when the man standing behind him, in the medieval armor interrupted him.

"Christopher, stop, you revealed enough. Think about the Primordials and the balance. You're already breaking the law with this action, my friend..."

Suddenly: "My Lord, I can feel several powerful auras quickly approaching..." Frederic joined the conversation as Merener turned his face towards the horizon where a few levitating individuals dressed as priests appeared from different colored portals.

"I got carried away again, huh? " the future Christopher laughed a little.

"Anyway, myself, this is probably the end of my way.... and the start of yours. Remember these four pieces of Advice and always follow them if you want to live a happy unlife! " the future Christopher spoke as the vision in the flaming portal started to blur out.

"No, wait, WAIT! How can I get out of here? How I can gain the Eye?! "

Hearing this, the future Christopher turned back as his face suddenly turned serious and his eyes formed purple irises.

"Take this as another gift... You don't need the Eye to leave... Only the weapon that killed you..."

"Heh... You will never learn, Christopher." Spoke the man in the armor with a slight smile, showing his sharp fangs as his gaze gleamed blood-red.

"You from all present is saying this to me? Dude, you were walking side by side with Jesus! " Christopher laughed.

'What? With Jesus?! ' the present Christopher thought with wide eyes as he looked at the man next to the future Christopher.

"Fair..." the man mumbled and turned to face the horizon with Frederic.

Suddenly, "Here, this will be helpful for you," Christopher from the future spoke as a wave of purple energy exploded from his body, and like a missile, flew through the flaming portal, and hit the present Christopher's chest.

As Christopher fell on his knees, the future Christopher spoke.

"You know, I made a lot of mistakes throughout my unlife, but I can feel this is not one of them. I have faith in you, don't disappoint us."

As he was about to turn, he stopped and turned one more time.

"Oh, and one more thing. Use it wisely~..." spoke the future Christopher with a mischievous smile as the flaming portal closed and the vision ended.

Immediately, the time around Christopher started slowly working again as his enemies began to move slowly forward.
