Chapter 16: Knowing the Threats

*In the Limbo*

Okay, what do you want? as John placed his hands on his pocket while he was watching the figure in the stern gaze. The figure hummed and snaps his hands while he snaps John clutched and the memories of the future showed him for what will happen to his world, the person who will sacrifice his/her life for his/her country, the other person will die along with the demon who will invade the history of humankind and the birthplace where human beings lived and it will shake to its very core. After the revelations, he got up and gazed his eyes on the figure while looking at his hands still glowing than before. The figure observed John's expression and saw his hands were glowing " To think that he already knew what will happen next and another? My Master said that one who held such great power, a mortal one who possesses "The Eye of the King" and the "Phantom Hands" who can change the fate of the world and the universe itself. This mortal possesses those two powers and now he was right in front of me, Master said that he will find answers and also he will come". John looked at his hands and asked " Why me? The figure replied " You've experienced something that no man can do, You are really interested human you know that? Also, you are really something else than a human...." John look at the figure questionable and asked " What is the news that you wanted to tell me? The figure shook his head and snapped his fingers revealing the image or a vision surrounds them.

As the vision goes by they saw a desert stone terrain looking peace and harmony but, they heard a sound of the horn came from the west. The sound of metals heard in different directions and the marching sounds were repeated as they reached their destinations, as the black flag that symbols a circle with a weird shape that looks like a hood around the circle. There are people who wore black helmets, black chest armor, black shoes, black wrist armor. Their skins were black and have a rough scale around their necks, sharped teeth, yellow eyes, dark skins and also dark horns on their heads. "They are demons if you remember them that you waged war with Howard a long time ago". I stared at my hands and see the blood of my friends when I was in the parallel world, I looked back on the image and recalled the memory of whom I face a long time ago. Was X to Z class of a 'demon' world and their levels are about 500 to 700 while their ranks are about 1,000 to 5,000 levels, which illustrates Y and Z class, furthermore the people that live in their about 200 to 900 levels that illustrate A to B class. While I and Howard are about Z class and S class why? Howard was a Z class and also me? an S class because I was a novice of Howard so I am still learning under him. I looked at the figure and said " The enemy was growing strong their forces were increasing, however, the enemies of the past have now reigned on the parallel world was now planning to invade your world". John was shocked that his 'past' was still alive and they are planning to invade his home, as his blood boiling through my veins, the heat on his body suddenly burst on fire the light suddenly grows darker and darker as his power consumed by the energy. The clouds getting darker and the thunders rage in, the mist suddenly appears on the ground. As the mist covers John and his silhouette suddenly disappeared and the figure was still looking for John as his presence suddenly vanished, in fifteen minutes a sound of chains suddenly attached on the unknown things that bind within it and suddenly a loud roar heard from the north as the thunder rages in and shows the silhouette 'demon' which the chains attached on the demon hands. The figure walked into the unknown knowing what will happen next, as the figure reached the place and saw the 'things' that make him break a sweat, the place which the figure stands in front of him was a huge door like a golden gate. He saw John with chains that bounds on his hands and feet, he didn't move because he was a statue that illustrates that he was a gatekeeper, after that, the ground shake when the mist suddenly erupted and saw a 'demon' that suddenly roared and his hand reaching out John and struggling to break it. But all of a sudden, the 'other demon' rushed on the demon's hands and he unsheathed his sword and slash through the demon's hand, the demon moaned in pain and the other hand that the demon whose on the under beneath the surface revealed himself. Black eyes, big sharp teeth, giant body, Five horns that look like a crown with a Viking axe that hangs across his head. The figure looked at the giant demon who's trying to block an attack all of a sudden the arms begin to shatter and reveals the other demon that looks like John in a demon form, his eyes were changing into unknown modes that he performs in different colors, blue and red flames that spread across his body, black wings, sharpest teeth, and claws, he held a flame katana on his right hand, and, obsidian dagger on his left hand. On another hand, the voice said in echoing tone.

"Orb.....

"Orb.....

"Orb...

" Give me the orb...

"The Orb must not be touch by anyone who wants the power from it".

The figure suddenly remembers the information about the prophecy that was ordered to the 'others'.

" Only the 'One' who can wield the power of our ancestors, and he will bring the fate of the universe".

"It will not fall to the wrong hands if that happens this world will be doomed and the war will be triggered everywhere"...

After that, the four portals open beside John who was locked down in chains, suddenly the figures jumped out and stand in front of the last portal. When the three unknown steps aside and the three portals suddenly closed leaving the fourth portal, the sound of the footsteps that came from the fourth portal echoing as the figure gasped as he saw the last person who wore a 14th-century European armor. The figure said " Impossible! How?! When?! I cannot believe it!" As the figure shaking and glancing at John and murmured " What are you, John?"

All of a sudden the light from above descends and the entire screen consumed by the light.
