Helping elves

The wall wasn't even the strangest part of the Shadow realm the wall seemed to be holding back a horde of some kind of ant like things though with mutations and all sorts of abhorrent body parts.

And Devan had infact appeared smack in the middle of the horde of ants but right before they could attack him a tall elf covered in armour dropped from the dark sky of the Shadow realm releasing a shockwave that took out over half the horde.

Pulling out a very powerful looking spear the elf begun mowing down the rest of the horde literally ignoring Devan.and just slaughtering ants left and right.

When he had decimated the horde he appeared next to Devan with his spear pointed at him before finally speaking "Who and what are you." Before Devan could answer a loud screech resounded and a much larger ant appeared barreling straight at Devan and the elf.

Though Devan was still open to helping people his Vampire bloodline coupled with the mind of a God made it easy to just dodge the ant leaving the elf to his fate.

Sighing the elf threw his spear right at the ant knocking it back and literally exploding it from the inside before once again appearing before Devan spear back in hand "Again I ask , who and what are you."

By now Devan had noticed that his pride had started spiralling out of control but apparently that was supposed to be normal in Vampires so giving the elf the same attitude Devan responded "It's Devan anyway what is with the wall."

After scanning Devan all over the elf seeming to sense no hostility from him said " From your question I assume you are not from here."

" Yes I came in through a portal that was in the middle of a dark elf village."

At the mention of the portal the elf paused and with a serious look on his face asked " What happened to the Dark elves of the village."

Curios of his question Devan told him how the elves were very weak and most of them had been killed by some beast that kept on attacking and the few that were left asked for his help to kill the beast but he had accidentally opened a portal to the Shadow realm. He had added the accidental part so that it didn't look like he abondoned them.

When he finished telling the elf about the other elves situation he felt something move through the ground and it seemed to be headed for the Dark elf who was still shocked after hearing Devan's explanation.

Using his Shadow divinity which had been growing for each second he spent in the Shadow realm Devan wrapped the creature in Shadows and pulled it out of the ground revealing it's 5 metre long centipede like body.

Breaking out of his stupor the elf stabbed the floating centipede with his spear then said to Devan "Take me to the village."

The portal had remained behind the bushes nearby the wall so they walked though it coming it in the village but the first thing they saw was a pair of the large ants with purple exoskeletons chasing the elves around.

One ant had cornered a group of elves and was just about to eat them until a spear passed through it's body form top to bottom while the other was suddenly wrapped in Shadows and slowly crushed.

After that Devan turned to the elf and said "You seem to have something to say to these elves so I'll leave you to it meanwhile i have to fulfill my promise to kill whatever has been hunting them."

Controlling his now strengthened Shadow Divinity Devan sunk into his Shadow which started moving incredibly fast through the village until he reached a bunch of destroyed houses that looked like a trail so he followed them out to the woods.

In the woods there was another trail of trees that had been pushed to the sides many times as something big walked by which led to a sort of cave where Devan assumed the creature lived but immediately he came out of the Shadow he regretted it as the putrid scent of acid and poison was overwhelming.

If not for the resistance that owning Arpous gave him and the minor divinity the smell coming form the cave alone would have knocked Devan out for a couple of seconds but he could only feel an irritating itch in his nose so he walked to the cave to see what was in it.

The cave walls were covered in venom and Devan could sense that something large was sleeping inside but if his senses were accurate which they probable were the creature was not a threat now that he had new spells in his grimoire.

That made him realise throughout this day he had only used Arpous and still had not touched the other three weapons in the storage ring and he honestly wanted to try them out so during the next adventure he would have to first keep Arpous in his divine realm and use a less powerful looking weapon.

It took a while but he finally reached the back of the cave after walking last puddles of disgusting venom and melted flesh and even a few items that hadn't yet corroded and had magical auras , the depth of the cave was completely dark but that wasnt a problem for Devan which is why he could easily spot the large six metre tall lion covered in black scales laying in one side of the cave.

Just one glance of the creature was enough for Devan to tell that it was a Chimera and a rare one at that as he could tell that it had some Dragon blood in it hence the scaly body and even tougher than normal wings.

Next to the chimera was a small pile of loot with weapons and even Abit of gold and a few scrolls , while Devan continued studying the chimera he felt the Shadows behind him distort and his senses warned him so he dodged only for a fast scorpion tail over seven metres long to strike the soil where he was.
