Slayer could see the redhead boy from earlier with a full set of wings flying around the corner with a large group of angels of all ages that looked dirty and bruised. They looked like they had been through hell. Leading them was the beaten Angel from the alleyway that was the friend of the boy. He had large debris floating above him under his control. They sent two more flying at the ballistae. He picked a wall with one hand and then flung at a troop of soldiers coming down the street. He was ruthless. He unsheathed a sword and led the people forward. He pointed a blade at Slayer who paused. The group from earlier in the building came into the crowd screaming, "No he's here to help us!" One of the women said. Red headed boy touched down between Slayer and Waik. "No he is the one I was telling you about Waik. He's the King Slayer!" Frey said. Waik lowered his blade. "Thanks for the pills. You saved me and the boy" he said. Slayer turned to see more soldiers coming. "We need to clear the way" he said as he ran towards the troops. He manifested blades all around him as they shot forward killing soldiers with a single blade. He fought one as he dodged a crimson sword that came at his head.

 Slayer wrapped his arm around his helmet, spinning him around and then impaling him with his black odachi. He tackled another soldier stabbing his sword through his head. Waik jumped over him engaging another soldier trying to kill him. He fought two soldiers and killed them brutally with his sword. Frey dove another soldier stabbing a dagger in his helmet and sent electricity all over the armor shocking the man. He crumpled over dead. As Frey soared in the sky towards an archer. He slashed his knee and then drove a dagger into his groin. He dodged another arrow, but was unlucky with the second. An arrow pierced his shoulder. He started descending to the ground. Slayer used a soldier as a springboard catching Frey mid air. He landed and Waik took the boy. "You'll be fine! Keep moving!" He screamed. Frey nodded and fought the pain. He still had another arm. He broke the arrow in half, careful to keep the head in his shoulder.

Slayer and the mob fought their way through the soldiers till they came to the gate. Soldiers made a shield wall. Beams of light then shot from their hands at the mob. It struck some instantly. Slayer dodged a beam and threw the black sword at a soldier killing him. He controlled the darkness to form a wall between the soldiers and the mob. He was able to block the beams. He then used all the power in his mind to push the wall forward. Spiked came out of the wall on the soldiers as he pushed towards them. Soldiers started to panic as the wall got closer. Waik backed him, creating a wall from the ground to reinforce the shadow wall. The double wall started to press on the soldiers crushing them. Bones, armor, and screams could be heard as the wall enclosed them.

 Once it went quiet. Waik and Slayer released their control, dispersing their element walls. Corpses were smashed against the wall and the gate was now clear. Slayer stepped out to see if angels flew overhead. It was clear the city was on fire and fighting seemed to end. Waik and escapees that remained gathered last minute weapons and supplies from guard quarters. Slayer sat outside the gate meditating. "We are prepared for the journey" Waik said, interrupting Slayer. "Good. Hope you all find what you're looking for'' he said standing up. "Thank you for helping us escape '' he said. Slayer gave him a nod. The refugees then all took turns jumping into the clouds as they began flying to the surface. Frey was the last, "I will become strong like you one day! Agh!" he said when he tried raising his injured arm. It was in a sling. Slayer shook his head and handed the kid an elixir, "Speed up the healing. Come find me when your rank five young one" the kid looked taken aback taking the elixir bottle. He smiled at Slayer and gave him an assuring nod. He waved and then dove down through the clouds. 

Slayer was alone now he approached some dead soldiers and took their chi. He then put chi into his boots and levitated off the ground. He flew west towards the Gate.

A shadowy figure stepped out onto the main street of the Light Kingdom. He was hooded and had a glowing gem on his wrist with integrated silver armor coating his left arm. His face is covered by half a mask leaving only his black eyes to see. He approached the Colonel that was being tended to by surviving injured soldiers. He stared at the shadowy figure and then stood up weakly approaching him, "Some support your man gave us Vick!" he yelled at the hooded figure. 

"Your king refused assistance from us. Demon King gave up trying to convince your mad man of a king! He created strife in his own walls Darius he was barely an ally to us", Vick explained. Colonel looked angry, but shook his head in surrender. "He was slipping. He wasn't even the king that swore my sword too anymore. Vanity is a curse" he whispered. Vick looked around, "So the King Test has begun. Seems he was formidable?" Vick said, staring at a headless angel. "Yes...even sparked rebellion in the impure subjects of this kingdom. They escaped the city freeing criminals before doing so" Colonel explained. "Impure? Still believe that hogwash? I am a shadow element user, you going to cut me down here?" he said chuckling. "It was his stupidity in creating that ignorance of the people for fun Vick. But he got results with that as well" Colonel picked up a down chair and sat upon it. "Now what?" Colonel said out loud not looking for an answer. 

"Nothing. You can do nothing till your king is chosen by the World. Your life is now at a stand still" Vick said before throwing two knives at Darius sticking in his chest. He looked shocked. His remaining men swarmed Vick who unsheathed a saber and killed them all quickly moving around them like a formless shadow before reforming solidly staring at the dead Darius. "Well that was uneventful. I'll inform my liege this news and prepare for his arrival" Vick said walking away from the scene. He stepped through the shadows and was gone. He reappeared in a desert landscaped with raging volcanoes all over the sky full of smoke and orange hot heat. He kept walking towards a circular city with tall walls. This was the Fire Realm home to demons, dragons, and all other nightmares of fire. He approached an open demonic skull gate with thousands of demons running about. Some carry weaker demons in chains. Some walked through the market and guards stationed everywhere with large spears and shields. 

Vick approached a four armed orange demon with four blades sheathed on his belt. He had webbed ears, three eyes, three horns atop his hairless head. He smiled revealing large tusks that protruded from his bottom lip. "Vick was beginning to worry you lost your way among the angels?" he said with a jesting tone. His voice was deep and guttural. "I bring grave news for our king Brigg" Vick said with a serious tone. "We need to gather our cohort and go to the king immediately" Vick ordered Brigg followed close behind. "Where are the others?" Vick asked. Brigg chuckled, "Drinking sir" he stated. Vick shook his head, "Dumb question on my part. Of course they are and probably causing problems like always. 

The two approached a tavern as a demon came out of the door crashing out into the street. A goat man came out of the tavern cracking his knuckles. He had red goat eyes, large black curved horns, black light armor, and cloven hooves. He had an ax sheathed on his back; he pulled it off and then drove the ax into the demon's chest, killing him. He paused as he saw Vick and Brigg staring at him. He then bowed in front of Vick, "My captain" he said. Three more demons followed out of the tavern one was a little girl with tusks, ram horns, green skin, and spiked tail. She had two bat wings on her back making her float off the ground. The other was a big fat demon with yellow eyes, green skin, and one eye. Each of his four arms he had meat on a bone as he ate it. The third demon was a beautiful woman with cloven hooves, she wore black armor, large black wings upon his back, and curved horns that protruded from the side of her head. She had pointed ears dawned in earrings. Two swords criss-cross on her back reflecting off her purple skin. She had jagged teeth making a grin as she stood in front of Vick. They all bowed down to Vick. "I see you all are making quite a scene again. Another tavern you'll be banned from again" he looked into the bar from the street seeing demons lying all over the bar with bystanders standing against the walls. 

"Shadow Cohort we are to report to the king and deliver some dire news I have discovered in the heavenly realm" Vick stated. The goat man looked up, "What news is that sir?" he asked. "The King's Test has begun" the four demons looked shocked. Brigg as well standing behind Vick. "The Light Realm has fallen" Vick stated.
