Apocalypse in DxD

The Lamb of God, or Lion of Judah opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons forth four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. Although some interpretations differ, in most accounts, the four riders are seen as symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, respectively.

Mac an Luin: Undefeated Violet Flower.It is the weapon which can transform into a sword and a spear.It is the magical weapon that is said to have defeated the wicked fallen Divine Spirit Aillen. It can transform into a sword and a two-handed spear with a length of two meters or so.

A weapon which can nullify mental interference and control water.

The weapon belonged to Fionn mac Cumhaill, a descendant of the Celtic War God Nuada. Fionn was a great hero and warrior that established many valorous deeds and miracles, such as gaining control over healing water from the oil of the Salmon of Knowledge, having saved the capital from the wicked fallen Divine Spirit Aillen that manipulated flames and sleep, defeating invaders and monsters as the guardian of Erin, and defeating great warrior various battles and defeating powerful wicked monsters such as the fallen Divine Spirit Aillen, the magical Demon Boar, the horse of the underworld, and in the end, even his divine ancestor, the War God Nuada.

Serving the High King of Erin, Cormac mac Airt, Fionn was a man who attained appropriate achievements to be celebrated as both the leader and greatest knight in the glorious Knights of Fianna. He underwent an impeccable journey as a great hero, but during his personal life, he also had a fate of trouble with women. His first hardship was becoming charmed by a pair of beautiful sisters and receiving a curse. His misfortune continued afterwards,seven years were stolen from him by a conflict with a fairy over his first wife.

....

Ralph: The Spear is buried with him under a mountain in Tír na mBeo with rest of the dead warriors of Fianna. It's two days journey from here to that mountain if we use our horses.

( A/N: Fianna were a band of warriors led by Fionn mac Cumhaill.)

Ryan: Shouldn't we teleport there?

Jamie: That wouldn't be possible, the whole realm is under the authority of Sun God, Lugh. If we try to bend space here it would automatically notify him.

Blair: Lugh is one of the strongest beings in the world.

Liam: He is at the same level as Egyptian Chief God, Ra. That's going to be a problem even for all of us combined.

Blair: And I don't even have all my powers yet.

...

The road to Tír na mBeo wasn't one that was filled with danger but things got a little troubling from them when they were just a few miles away from the mountain.The area from where they were to the mountain was covered by dark clouds and no living creature was to be seen in that darkness.

The group entered the forest which was miles wide and lessened their speed.

Ralph: You are happy now?

Liam: It's been two days since we are riding. I want nothing more than just to get that spear.I wish we go faster.

Blair: If you guys have gone at full speed, you would have destroyed everything in your way thus notifying the gods here.

Blair was riding a blue horse-like familiar she called Sacruf.

They all stopped talking as they heard noises produced horses coming from all around them. The noises grew louder and louder by the moment.

Ryan: Could this be?

Ralph: Yeah, it's those annoying zombies.

Liam: Only in Ireland.

They were all surrounded by headless riders on black horses known as dullahans. The dullahans also referred to as the Headless Horsemen in Irish folklore. This sinister being appears as men or women riding upon a black horse, but the rider has no head upon their shoulders. Typically, the dullahans carry their head under their arm; the head appears dead and rotten (sometimes compared to having flesh resembling old cheese) with a demonic grin spread across its face from ear to ear.

Ralph: Nathaniel

A three-eyed crow covered in blue flames appeared in front of the Horseman of Death.

Ralph: Burn them.

Just like an arrow changing its trajectory, it pierced through all the dullahans burning them in the process.

Jamie: That was easy.

Ralph: We just entered the forest.Dullahans aren't naturally born, they are creatures born through a curse casted by Druids. Reanimated corpses created to guard treasures and other precious objects.

Blair: Creating dullahans is a heavy investment, i mean the resources required to create even one dullahan is enough to buy an army.

Liam: But they don't die easily, they could give higher ultimate class trouble, if it wasn't for the fact that Flames of Passing is their natural nemesis, they wouldn't have gone down so easily.
