Chaos

While Jay was cleaning up the mess he was in...

--- Izumi's Abode, Fatelord Plane

At the previous location of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, at the eastern borders of Wildergreene and near the Nix River...

Toran and an army of Shurymites were currently camped out at the place. There were around 10,000 of them in total, and among these 10,000 Shurymites, there were 10 Shurymite Generals.

They were currently camped at this place. Their tents just looked like the stalagmite houses they had back at the Shurym Plane.

Inside one of the tents...

"Damn this job."

Toran said as he started drinking some water. Together with him in this tent was the 10 Shurymite Generals.

"Sir, when should we attack?"

"Sir, should we keep interrogating the prisoners?"

"Sir, should we move our forces somewhere else?"

The Shurymite Generals kept on inquiring about their next move or kept on giving suggestions about their next move. It has been a few hours and they still kept harassing Toran with all of their thoughts.

"As much as I want to start our conquest, the War God commanded me to wait until Lord Deroth's forces arrive." Toran said but in reality, he was lying.

Just like Jay, Toran did not want to kill any innocents in this planar war. He just wanted to delay the inevitable as the tyrants from the Great Millennia watched them and hope they won't get bored and destroy the Shurym Plane.

"No way! Lord Deroth is coming here?!!" The ten Shurymite Generals were shocked. Among the 10 Lords of the Shurym Plane, if there was a ranking system depending on their power, it was known to the Shurymites that Lord Deroth was the 2nd among the lords.

"Indeed. All of you can now fuck off and just chill at our camp." Toran said as he dismissed the Shurymite Generals in his tent.

...

Just a few moment after that, Toran felt a strange premonition and took out his communication orb, the usual yellow colored orb that almost everyone uses to communicate with someone very far away.

"Torvani, any news back there?"

Toran immediately decided to talk with his wife.

"Toran... when will you come back?" Torvani replied after a few seconds. There was even a trace of sadness and worry in her voice.

"One more week before I leave this common rabble and let Balkor take over. What's going on back there?"

Toran did not receive any response from Torvani but only heard her crying. After a few seconds, he also heard a thunderous roar.

"Teria is dead. Our son is dead. Five lords are dead. Thousands of us are dead..."

When Toran heard this, he did not know if he was dreaming or not. He dropped on his knees as he held the communication orb tightly.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!" Toran shouted as he felt his world turning upside down. He did not give a shit about the lords or citizens of the Shurym Plane, the only thing he cared about was his family. For him to receive news about his sister and son's death...

"Honey, please don't come back here anymore. Our plane is in total chaos and I know my death is near..." Torvani's voice was shaking as she continued crying while speaking.

"Please, just tell me what is happening there..." Toran tried his best to calm down as he started crying.

"No one knows what happened... but Lord Balkor and Morrok suddenly disappeared. Due to this, the seal that was protecting us from the planar invaders weakened. Just as we thought it wouldn't get any worse, three powerhouses from three different planes were lying in wait and suddenly ambushed three of our lords."

...

--- Sacrificial Pits, Shurym Plane

Jay was oblivious to the catastrophe he caused when he killed Balkor and Morrok. He was currently walking back towards Underbelly City while he conversed with Hellson.

"I just noticed something weird. When I fought the Shurymites back at the Fatelord Plane, they gave me a hard time and I had to use almost all of my skills. But now, when I fought two of their lords here in their own turf, why do I feel as if they became a bit weaker?" Jay asked Hellson.

"Its obviously due to you learning blood magic. Back then, the only thing strengthening your body and senses was magicka and the Fate Particles. But now, combine those two with blood magic, I guess you could guess what it does to you."

After hearing Hellson's answer, Jay took out a jug made out of ice which he created using 'Touch Of Blizzard.' The contents of the jug was the blood he managed to gather from the two Shurymite lords he fought.

"Sacred Blood Magic... I wonder how strong I will..." Jay's thought was suddenly cut off as he felt a dangerous aura near him.

He suddenly used Shadow Phase Rush and targeted a random shadow far away from his original spot.

Just a split second after Jay moved away, a gigantic wolf with white fur suddenly pounced where he was.

"Where the hell did this guy come from?" Jay thought to himself as he dodged the white wolf's pouncing attack and immediately stored the ice jug he was holding back at the Storage Orb.

The white wolf growled as it looked at Jay. Then suddenly. Jay heard a feminine voice in his head.

"You are not from around here are you?"

Jay was not stupid and realized that it was the white wolf that was talking to him.

"Nope. I am..."

"Don't bother introducing yourself chicken guy. Just get out of my sight before me and my brothers tear you apart."

After threatening Jay, the white wolf pounced at the air and vanished.

"Planar invaders? Were these the guys Toran mentioned?" Jay thought to himself as he immediately transformed back to his Shurymite disguise and rushed back to Underbelly City.
