Prologue : Divine light

"That's enough!!!!."

A loud thunderous voice echoes through the battlefield bringing all action to a halt. The demons begin to retreat and settle at the origin of the voice while The chosen and Holy knights are taken aback by the loud voice and begin to wonder who it was that owned the voice.

"Who the hell is that??..."

"That voice worries me greatly…"

The knights began to fall back as murmurs flew out.

The chosen converge around Elijah and set their eyes on the location that the voice had originated from, readying themselves for any eventualities.

"This insolence from you mere mortals will no longer be tolerated. your kind shall not continue to shame the forces of hell, you all shall be exterminated at once..."

The loud voice remarks, yelling out in a loud ominous tone.

"Who are you??."

Elijah ask yelling back with a raised brow.

"I am Paimon, One of the greatest earls of hell, most loved of our dark god Lucifer, leader of the largest legions of demons…. You have done wrong by trying to oppose my forces in their mission and now you all shall pay the ultimate price....."

The voice replies.

"Oh wow, I'm quite amazed that an earl of hell would be kind enough to grace us with his presence but you should know that your presence will not change the fate of your subordinates, so it would be best you run away while you still can else you face the same fate as your pitiful subordinates.."

Elijah remarks without mincing words.

"Hmm, is that so??....."

Paimon asks as he steps out from the shadows into the view of the chosen and the knights so as to survey the surrounding area with a terrible aura erupting from his being.

He seemed humanoid albeit with red eyes and slit irises as well as big black bat wings with tattoos around his body that most couldn't interpret or make meaning of.

He had two prominent dark horns protruding from his head at opposing sides and his claws were quite visible, reaching over one centimeter in length.

"Die!!...."

Paimon says as he puts up his right palm and causes a large dark cloud to gather en masse just above him. Red lightening crackle to life out of it after which the lightening moves towards his palm and it muddles together to form a mega bolt that he aimed towards the church.

"He's trying to destroy the church."

Elijah remarks in an urgent manner as he realized what Paimon was planning to do with the attack.

"Stop him!!!"

"Don't worry,  I'll take care of it.... Heavenly art : walls of Jericho."

Celia remarks as she slams her palms on the ground.

Large walls of earth immediately spring out from the ground and form a large fence in front of the church just in time to block Paimon's attack, though it shook terribly from the resulting impact as the attack hit.

The chosen see the intent of their new adversary and immediately get themselves in position for a rather dangerous encounter with a high ranking demon of hell.

"You lot are truly something else, I'll have to take care of you here..."

Paimon remarks in a menacing voice.

"You know my wife is currently in there giving birth and I'm trying to make her delivery as safe as possible. I'd lie and say I really wanna protect the civilians as well but my first priority is my wife and unborn child but you just tried to murder both of them along with countless others all in a bid to prove a point. I can't forgive that neither can I forgive you, I'll make you pay for trying to hurt the ones I care about, I promise you that…"

Elijah remarks gritting his teeth in anger.

"…. Do you really think this is is some game, boy… how dare you threaten an earl, what can you possibly do to me??"

Paimon bursts into laughter with his subordinates joining in to mock Elijah.

Elijah stares intently at the demon earl for just a moment as his thoughts ran wild after which he lets out a breath, having come to a conclusion concerning his next course of action and puts up his right palm while still keeping his eyes peeled on Paimon.

As he puts his arm up, a bright orb of light can be seen emanating from his palm, growing ever brighter with each passing second....

"….Why don't you come here and find out...

... Divine light : living embodiment."

Elijah remarks in a low tone.

Paimon notices the changing aura of Elijah and immediately creates an energy ball and sends it towards Elijah at supersonic speed.

The other Chosen step back a bit before the ball makes impact and causes a massive explosion, with shock waves that pushes the chosen even further from Elijah's position.

Paimon's subordinates begin to laugh aloud with their voices echoing across the battlefield as they are about to swarm on the other Chosen but are soon blinded by a bright light emanating from where the energy ball had made impact…

"I was expecting more from that blast but it seems I overestimated you."

Elijah remarks in a rather proud tone as the smoke cloud clears to reveal a rather spectacular sight...

Elijah is unharmed by the blast and his being is changed completely with his body glowing with a bright white light.

He had also gained a jacket made of pure light with light flakes floating out of him, dark lines marked around his body in an intricate work of design creating a sense of divinity from his person....

"What is this??"

Paimon asks with shock on his face).

"Let me show you.."

Elijah remarks with a serious expression on his face as he tightened his fist....

Elijah plants his feet into the ground and moves quicker than the eyes can see.

Moving at light speed, Elijah appears in front of Paimon before he can react and plants a punch that launches the earl over a hundred meters away, causing devastation as he flew and a bigger explosion as he makes impact on the earth..
