Chapter 1: The Arrival
In the world of wayloria, there is a gloomy ghost-like town atop Bonepeak Mountain. As its name suggests, there are bones sprouting out of the ground, through the windows of home, and once in a while, through a person's leg.
The reason everyone is so miserable isn’t because of the bones piercing their bodies or the lack of food on the mountain. It’s much, much worse. There is a folk tale that many of the townspeople believe to be real. They say that there is a Lich living within a cave at the bottom of the mountain, taking children from their beds at night, and leaving their parents in despair to wonder what happened to their children.
The local militia does little to help despite it being their duty to protect the people of this town as they have no leads for where these children could have possibly gone so they prayed for saviors at their holy mana tree Soon enough their prayers were answered and in a flash of light four people stood before them bathed in the holy light of their mana tree.
The first person is a very tall man standing at a staggering 7’1 with long black hair and fur around his shoulders and neck that goes into a red cape. He held in his hand what looked to be a white sword but turned to just be his bones morphed into a blade on his arm which he instantly went back into his arm revealing his dark metal gauntlets. He looked at the crowd and said “Where am I?”
The second man was a tall man standing at 6’0 with white hair, and yellow eyes. He wore a white and yellow haori, and is the only one out of the heroes that does not use a weapon but his hands. This man was bathed in the most light out of the four people who came from the tree. He Looked to Asgher “What just happened?”
The third person is a hooded figure with a lanky body. Around his neck is a red and black scarf, flowing in the wind, looking like a smoking fire. In his hands lies a set of dual-sided daggers. After taking a look at the area, he stares at the crowd wondering, “What kind of mess did I get myself into now?”
Lastly, the fourth person is a younger looking man wearing a darkly colored haori, bontan, and a black tightly fitting shirt with black hair tied up in a man-bun. The man holds a huge sword that shatters the ground below him and it breaks open a root of the mana tree and overflows into the man's body.
The crowd jumped for joy as they saw their saviors as they all groveled at the feet of the people bathed in holy light begging for them to save them.
Chapter 2: A Dark March
The saviors after they were summoned were given a grand feast in their name to celebrate their arrival and the end of their dark days in the shadow of the man kidnapping the town's children
At the same time in A castle below the ground under bone peak was a Archlich making a spell circle on the floor in his castle as he recited the incantation for the spell
“Bring me midnight the endless dark,
Bring me beasts that howl and bark,
Bring me crimson liquid red,
Bring me the sickness terror bred,
Bring me thunder lightning true,
Bring me hope of nothing new,
Rot, Decay. Dilapidation
Bring the end of anticipation.”
As he read these words to the spell circle it lit up softly as he dragged out one of the kidnapped children and placed them in the middle of the circle and slowly the child's skin faded away going from his feet slowly crawling up his leg to his torso and finally to his head and next his muscles faded going from his feet up to his head and he was left as a mindless skeleton and the skeleton walks into a room which Jack follows to see his army of skeletons as he walks in they all say “all hail Jack Skellington” these skeletons only goal was to end the towns people who lived on bone peak mountain… Jack yells out to the skeletons “WE MUST TAKE THE MOUNTAIN WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY OURS!”
Jack looks over the guards and then turns to face his four Royal guards Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. Jack Spoke to his horsemen “You will be my last line of defence in this battle so sleep well I don’t want you to fail me and get me killed.” All four horse men nodded and saluted to jack and said in unison “We vow our lives to you my lord.’”
Back at the village after celebrating the saviors arrival, The Saviors wanted to know why they were here. Asgher's expression hardened as he looked to the mayor of the town “Why did you bring us here…?” “What is our purpose being here?” Carlos asked the mayor. The mayor looked at the party and said “You were brought here to find out what happened to our poor children.” The mayor stood up and walked outside, motioning for the group to follow him outside as he walked towards the church. When inside of the church they see a group of townspeople worshiping Lior as he floated in the air with holy light bathing him. Asgher frowned at Lior and yelled at him “LIOR!!! STOP BEING THESE PEOPLES FALSE IDOL!” Asgher proceeded to projectile a bone at Lior. As soon as the bone is thrown out of Asgher's hand, Lior vanishes and appears right in front of Asgher, with the bone in Lior's hand.
Lior looks at Asgher and tosses the bone to Asgher, “I was just checking out the Village”
Carlos angrily says “ What the hell guys, were meant to be a team. Why are we fighting each other?” Asgher glares at Carlos and swings around and attempts to punch him with a hand masked in bone with the density and mass of the earth packed into his fist “What did you say…?” Carlos after seeing him raise his bone activates his Gravity Manipulation ability and makes Asgher levitate off the ground. “How’s That for a LIFT of Confidence” as Carlos laughs at Asgher.
Lior looks at the two idiots fighting, and notices that Ji-Min is gone. Lior said “Hey Guys where is Ji-min?” Asgher and Carlos looked around and then Lior “I thought he was with you?” “I thought he was with you Asgher!". Lior Looks to his left and right and looks back at Asgher, “Nope”
The group now realized that Ji-min was kidnapped like the children of the village were…
Chapter 3:
After realizing Ji-min was gone, the group tells the mayor that they need to go find Ji-min and figure out who is kidnapping all of the children inside of the town of bonepeak mountain. As the group found their way down the mountain they found bits of Ji-min's haori hanging from trees and bushes all the way down the mountain until they reached a cave that looked like a giant skull with an open maw leading down deep below the mountain into the deep darkness of the underground. As Asgher stepped towards the cave bats bellowed out of the cave entrance flying into his face and surrounded him before flying off in a quick gust of wind. Asgher looked at the group and said “I think I found where Ji-Min is being kept!”
Everyone then heads into the dark and deep cave, taking them around 2 hours to finally reach the bottom of the cave to see… A giant castle with giant black spires and a huge skull like entrance with the main gate being in the shape of teeth.
Lior turns to Asgher “How did the town's people never find this?”
Asgher looked at Lior “I think they are just really oblivious” Asgher looked up towards the cave ceiling to see bones shooting from the ground and to where the town would be. Carlos says ”You also got to think, those people normally stay away from this area so it makes sense how they haven’t found it.” Carlos uses his gravity magic to lift himself up to not get impaled by any bones. Meanwhile Inside the castle Ji-min wakes up groggy and dazed
“何が起こったのか、少ししか寝なかった”,(’What happened i only slept for a little bit)
Jack looked down at Ji-Min “I asked for more people to turn into skeletons… Not a summoned hero!”
“ Can you be quiet in trying to sleep here” He then turned away from jack to continue his slumber
Jack glared at Ji-Min and held his hand out to him and prepared to release a full power blast of magic at Ji-Min
Ji-min then turns to yo"Is this guy serious?”,
Jack is about to unleash his full power magic blast straight at Ji-min untill..
BOOM!!!
Jack looks towards the door that was just launched into the nearby wall, The door is completely incinerated.
Jack then turns towards the hallway to see as Asgher punched the teeth shaped doors right off of their hinges and yelled “LET JI-MIN GO YOU SKELETON FREAK!” Asgher would proceed to clap his hands together and shoot a beam of Blood straight at Jack that created a sonic boom as it moved.
While Asgher was being mad at Jack, Lior Instantly appears above Ji-min and just slashes the Obsidian rope with his hands, Grabbing Ji-min by his haori and floats down towards Asgher and Carlos. “Yo Ji-min, how was your little vacation!” Carlos says, holding in a laugh.
After that, Carlos locks eyes with Jack and stares at each other for a minute. Just in one quick second, Carlos dashes behind Jack. “HIGH GRAVITY BARAGE” Carlos yells as he uses his gravity magic to throw stalactites at him at high speeds.
Asgher grabbed Carlos, lior and ji-min and quickly ran off towards the exit of the cave “Lets not Fight this guy yet! Our best bet should be to recoup at the town and figure out our best course of action!” Asgher soon got out of the cave and beelined it up the mountain back to the town.
The town watches the 4 heroes run out of the cave, Thinking the heroes are done with their mission, they look behind the heroes to see hundreds of thousands of skeletons running towards the town. Behind the army was a giant skeletal dragon that wore a large golden collar that said “Zero”. As the dragon roars a giant flurry of bones rain down from its open maw at the village.
Lior sees thousands of bones falling out of the sky, about to destroy the town, Lior Leaps into the sky and starts reflecting the bones back at the dragon, looking like a blur of light in the sky.
The townspeople looked at the scene unfolding before them and some of the townspeople understood what they had to do and grabbed their weapons and ran towards the skeleton army to be ready to fight.
Chapter 4: Evil vs Hope
After the town gathers their weapons, they join behind the 4 heros that were staring towards the distance.
The army getting closer towards the village suddenly stops and Jack walks towards the front of the army flanked by his four royal guards: war, pestilence, famine, and death.
Jack spoke to the saviors “So you are the ones who protect this village…” he motioned towards Asgher and Lior “the two messiahs” He looked towards Ji-min and Carlos “and the two underlings. How about we cut a deal? You hand over the villages people… and i don’t end your lives”
In response to Jack calling Carlos an “UNDERLING”, Carlos loses it and yells “YOU, CALLING ME AN UNDERLING! HOW PATHETIC! I’LL SHOW YOU UNDERLING” as he pulls out his daggers.
“How can someone who gets angry so easily be calling me weak”Ji-min then grips his sword “ You haven't seen anything yet lets see how it feels” Asgher watches these two with a bored expression and yawns, Lior also watches the two argue with Jack.
Lior looks at Asgher, “What are these two doing..”,
Asgher smirks at Lior “Who do you think dies first?”
“If I had to guess then Carlos “, Lior says.
Jack then signs for the 4 royal guards to come to the front, “Since you all did not like my last deal, the four of you fight my four royal guards and that will test if you all are worthy TO FIGHT ME.“
“So… Which one are you choosing, Pestilence, War, Fanime Or…
DEATH..
The Heroes look at each other saying nothing until Lior speaks
“I'll Take Death, anyone have a problem with that.”
Asgher shrugged “Go ahead bud I only want to go for War”
“I got Famine since I think he will give an interesting fight” Carlos says, readying himself.
“You,” Jimin said getting into a sprinting position locking eyes with Pestilence Then launching from the sword and surfing off some skeletons and slamming himself closer to get to Pestilence ”Your Dead”
Lior then looks at Death and says “Ok then”, Lior then vanishes out of thin air and appears in front of death, before death can even react, Lior sucker punches deaths stomach, Death then gets blasted into the air from the impact and then Lior looks at Everyone else,
“See you all later”,
As Lior then jumps into the sky with his air control,
This Is the beginning battle between 4 heroes and 4 deadly horsemen..
Chapter 5: Life & Death
Thirty Thousand feet in the air two beings stand, floating on thin air, the Battle Between Life and Death begins….
After a minute of the cold wind breezing, Death Speaks,” You kno-”
Lior then launches off from the air tackling him, “I don't need to hear anything”
As both fly through the air like a spiral of light and darkness
Lior hands clashing with Death's Scythe..
Death then raises his hands and places it on Lior's arms..
Lior eyes widen as then both of his arms are decayed
Death then laughs “LOOK HOW CLUELESS YOU ARE, IM THE HORSEMAN OF DEATH!!, ONE TOUCH AND YOU ARE DEAD!!”,
Lior Backs up and regenerates his arms instantly. Lior then thinks in his mind, “If I can't get close to him then ill do this”
Light then begins to form in Lior's palm, “ I would probably close your eyes”,
Death watches as Lior Appears in front of him
“I forgot, you don't have eyes”
Lior then Grabs Deaths Skull and then unleashes a blinding explosion, sending shockwaves in every direction
As the town members look into the sky to see brightness, while watching the other heroes fight for the towns safety
The dust fades as Lior wipes his hand
Death stands with a scar now on his skull…
Death then thinks to himself, “even with my superior regeneration, that boy's attacks bypassed my immortality….
Death then grips his scythe.
From thousands of years…
No one has even left a mark on me..
Lior…
I THINK YOUR WORTHY OF MY FULL POWER.” in a instant Lior looks around to now see around 1 million dead souls surrounding him
Lior looks at Death with a little grin, “Guessing this is all the people you killed?”
Death Smiles, “Your Correct”
“So if I kill these souls would the souls be set free?”
Death Smiles again, “Correct again…”
Death then Summonds his horse, "Let see how long you will last”
Lior Grins more, “1 v 1 Million is not fair”
Death speaks “In a Battle to the Death, Nothing is Fair”
Then all one million souls then charge at Lior, Lior Cracks his knuckles.
Lior starts to fight the army of dead souls as Lior fuses his palms with light and slams the air plate where he was standing, creating a huge impact blasting the souls back.
Lior then notices something…
“Wait… the souls are not turning back..
Lior Glares at The Horseman of Death..
“Liar…”, Lior then looks down and says
“If there's one thing I hate, it's…
Liars..”
Lior Then Disappears from thin air, Death then looks around as.
Lior appears behind Death enraged, about to swing his hand, as lior releases his hand, all 1 million souls appear in front of Lior.
Lior Impact destroyed 1/10 of deaths army but the souls reappear
Death turns around…
“I forgot to mention that I can teleport my souls anywhere I want.. And they wont disappear until you kill me”
Lior looks forward, The Horseman of Death Laughing with his army of 1 million souls.
Lior closes his eyes and thinks “how do I kill someone with Immortality”
Lior then remembers something
Asgher told me that the only way to defeat someone immortal is to destroy all of their body in one attack..
But how…
“Thinking about something?”
Lior looks back up
His body starting to form of light, covering every part of him
“If i want to defeat deaths immortaly then i have to do this”
“Divine Form…”
Lior whole body is pure light with a halo above him
Death takes a step back..
Death mumbles “interesting..”
“I will free everyone you have killed..”
Lior then launches forward from his air plate, Destroying the souls in his way
Death then charges on his Horse with his scythe forward
Death Grins..
Oblivion Decay…
Deaths Scythe unleash a powerful beam of decay straight at Lior, Lior just goes threw the decay with his divine light covering him
Lior Then reaches Death grabbing his neck
Death then yells “HOW!!, HOW DID MY DECAY NOT BREAK YOUR FIGHT, THATS NOT FAIR”
Lior also yells at Death “LIKE YOU SAID, A FIGHT TO THE DEATH, NOTHING IS FAIR!”
Death swings his scythe but Lior ducks, “DIVINE KICK”
Lior upper kicks Death's Stomach sending him high in the air, Lior starts to combo him in the air sending death into every direction at light speed.
Death thinking “I- I cant teleport my souls, the time lior hits me is faster then I can summon them…”
Then,,. The Punches stop
Death open his eyes, looking above
Lior floating Above..
“Death.. You know why I decided to fight you in the skies?
Death speaks angry, “why..”,
“Because…”
Lior then leans downwards on his air plate and launches off, destroying the clouds.
And Punches Deaths Chest where his soul is
“I AM THE JUDGEMENT OF THE SKIES!!”,
Death then gets sent straight downwards at light speed, crashing into the ground…
Lior Floats down and walks over to Death in the huge crater,, as it begins to rain from the pressure of Lior's final attack
The only thing remaining of Death is His half destroyed cloak and His scythe..
Lior looks at his left, the Pale horse stares and nods, as it then disappears
And then..
Lior looks up to see Millions of the Souls he fought get sent free flying upwards
Lior smiles and picks up Death's scythe and puts it on his back
As Lior begins to walk and then Freezes, Coughing as the draw back of using his divine form,
When Lior divine form end, he will temporarily be not able to regenerate and his vision decreases, temporarily physical drawbacks. Lior then begins to walk again towards the other heroes, his Haori torn up, soaked, and some wounds from deaths decay earlier, and last half broken halo.
Chapter 7: Famine Vs Abundance..
Carlos bolts at Famine while laughing maniacally. “LETS HAVE SOME FUN, SHALL WE YOU MONSTER!” Carlos activates his gravity powers, increasing the gravity around Famine, before rushing in with all his might. “BOLD OF YOU TO TAKE ME HEAD ON, I’M AMAZED! SADLY THIS BATTLE’S TIME WILL BE CUT SHORT!” Famine says as he cuts a gigantic circle around the two of them. Within seconds, the floor crumbles and the two fighters fall through the hole.
While falling, Carlos increases the gravity of Famine and decreases his own. “You think that this will stop me from ending your PETHETIC EXISTENCE" Famine yells as he falls to the ground. They are now 30,000 feet under the ground. Famine sets a circle of rising fire surrounding them and does a taunting hand motion to anger Carlos.
“Now rush me with those 2 little dagg-” Carlos throws thousands of energy arrows straight at Famine’s Horse. Famine falls off his horse as it gets sent flying out of the hole. “Now that we’re on even footing now, I can FINALLY let loose” Calos says looking Famine in his scarred, frightened face.
Carlos And Famine hit blow for blow but the more that Carlos got hit, the stronger he hit back! “WHY, WHY JUST WHY! WHY DO YOU KEEP RESISTING YOUR DEMISE! CARLOS, YOU’RE DEAD!” Famine yells angrily as he prepares a rain of fire to scorch the entire area. “SAY GOODBYE YOU WORTHLESS BR-” and in an instant, time pauses. “How rude of you to insult me when you know you never were going to win anyway.” Carlos says smiling. Calos jumps 100 feet above Famine and lowers his gravity to float in the air. “THOUSAND ENERGY SPEAR BARRAGE“
After a few minutes, Carlos reaches the floor of the hole to see Famine fade away into dust. Carlos exhaustedly states “That was the best battle I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve been in a good amount of fights. I wonder how the others are doing. Welp, time to go back up.” Carlos then decreases his gravity and jumps up as hard as he can. 10 minutes later, he makes it out of the hole.
Chapter 8: Fortune & Pestilence
Racing to the closest skeleton
“You gotta be kidding me your my opponent just don't drag this on for longer than it needs to be”
Pestilence places down a black box
Enveloping the space around them
“Are you ready boy”
And then he realizes he's in front of pestilence
“Yawns”okay fine lets do this thing a huge castle comes up through the ground behind him”
“Okay then” he walks inside
A big guy jumps down
“Are we serious, fine then you wanna play like that”
‘I throw my sword into the castle”
Smiling as i say ”atomize this place”
In mere an instant the castle vanished and the people inside
“That seems done for now”
As pestilence teleports down “my castle, my minions, my horse what have you done” he shouts angrily
“Maybe don't run next time stuff like that happens so get over it”
“Ill kill you for this”
“Will you?” “I’d like to see you try “
He steps back planting his sword
“Need ryan i think ill copy hmm what was his name i think it was lior?”
As my body begins to resemble lior
“And its over simply”
I put my sword in my hand “2 Sided Purifying Slash”
Pestilence then screams in agony as he was purified of all sickness and sin
His bones fade to ash in an instant
“Transforming in to myself”
I place the sword in to the ground
“What would you like to keep”大剣(Daiken) said
How strong it felt amazing”
He then turns and sees the space isn't closing
“Huh thats weird”
i pick up Daiken again and charge up”
“Zero cutter” as he rips apart the dimension
He then walks to a bench and just lies there before falling
Chapter 9: Peace & War
Asgher shifted his arm into a blade of bone and used hardened blood to sharpen it. He held the blade out toward War and said, “You are not ready to fight against me of all people…”
Asgher lunged and swung his bone blade. Just as he was about to make contact, War’s blade caught his in a swift parry, deflecting him out of the way. War attempted to slash his greatsword toward Asgher and made contact—but nothing happened. Asgher had shifted his bones, causing them to grow out of his body and meld into pale white armor that covered him from head to toe.
Asgher huffed, emitting a deep growl from his throat. He stepped back and used his blood manipulation to quicken his blood flow, increasing his physical capabilities. He also formed an inner layer of hardened blood beneath his bone armor.
Asgher swung his blade toward War and finally landed a hit—but it simply bounced off. He roared in rage, and War used his pathokinesis to make Asgher angrier and angrier until his fury spiraled out of control. In his rage, Asgher increased his density and mass to the point where a single punch could blow a hole through the entire earth as if it were nothing.
War grinned and dropped his sword. “SHOW ME WHAT YOU’VE GOT!”
He lowered himself into a wrestling stance. “LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!”
Asgher followed suit, dropping into position and trudging toward him. He attempted to grapple War to the ground.
War resisted the grapple but was stunned for a moment when Asgher punched him with the force of a black hole.
“NOT SO FAST!” Asgher shouted.
He then slammed War to the ground and pinned him. “THIS IS FOR ALL OF THOSE LIVES YOU TOOK!”
Asgher proceeded to punch War in the face over and over for nearly five hours without stopping or growing exhausted. With each blow, the mountain beneath them dropped by an inch due to the overwhelming force of each and every one of his strikes.
After five hours of relentless punching, Asgher finally stopped to catch his breath. His rage began to subside, and he dropped to his knees, panting.
Slowly, War rose from the ground as if he hadn’t just been beaten for five straight hours.
Suddenly, Asgher got an idea. He remembered that when he fought Carlos, the only way he had managed to bypass Carlos’s hit-absorption ability was by strangling him until he passed out.
Asgher grinned at War and reached out, wrapping his hands around War’s neck. He used his bone manipulation to lock his grip in place, forming a seal of bone and hardened blood around his hands.
War struggled, clawing at Asgher’s grip. Asgher grinned as he realized he had finally figured out how to defeat him. After around thirty minutes, War went limp.
Asgher released him and looked down at his body. He picked up War’s greatsword, swung it over his shoulder, and bowed slightly.
“You gave me the fight of my life… Be proud. You were strong.”
Asgher slowly rose to his feet and walked toward the townspeople, War’s greatsword in hand. He raised it above his head in victory. Then he shifted his bone helmet back into his body and sighed.
The heroes’ party had a brief celebration for their victory against the Horsemen of the Apocalypse before they were rudely interrupted by Jack, who yelled in frustration after realizing his Horsemen couldn’t defeat the summoned heroes.
“YOU WORTHLESS MINIONS! YOU COULDN’T EVEN BEAT THOSE STUPID HEROES! I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS MYSELF!”
In his fury, Jack launched a massive fireball toward the heroes.
Chapter 10: The end of bone peak…
Asgher turned around to face the fire ball and took it head on… As the flames dissipated Asgher was now standing at twenty feet tall and covered in ten thick layers of bone and blood.
Asgher brushed off the flames and spoke “Didn’t think I would have to break out this form.. I call it ‘White Monarch’.. You like it?” Asgher walked towards Jack, grinned down at him, and punted him into the side of the mountain like a pro soccer player.
Jack hits the wall with a painful crack of his bones, then Lior Floats above Jack completely blind and confused, and grabs Jack's head and then explodes a huge amount of light with his palm, then lior vanishes and appears near Asgher
“Asgher I’m Temporarily blinded so like you got to tell me what to do , and I don't know what the other two are doing”
Asgher walked over to Lior and grabbed his head using his blood manipulation to force blood into Lior's face to cure his blindness “Here you go bud.. This’ll buy you at least five minutes of sight.”
Lior says "That's not a lot of time when we are fighting the skeleton king”
Asgher scoffed at what Lior said “You think this bone head is gonna last more than five minutes?”
“Nope”
Jack slowly rose to his feet, his skull missing from his body.
Jack trudged towards Asgher and Lior while his skull slowly reformed. “How could you… My beautiful skull… you ruined my suit… And you killed my horsemen… What did I ever do to you people…?”
“You mean this horseman?” As Lior hold up Death's scythe
Jack looked in horror at the scythe “y-You… You… You… You… You HEATHENS! IF I HAVE TO DIE YOU ARE ALL COMING WITH ME! The Offerings That End All Dawns”
Jack held up his hand to the sky and the clouds started to swirl and swell as thunder cracks across the sky. The clouds suddenly start to open up as what looks like presents start to fall from the opening.
These presents hold random nightmares when landing.
For example, while Carlos and Ji-min were sitting on a bench as they saw thousands of presents fall out of the sky. “ Yo, why are there just presents falling?” Carlos asks in confusion.
While Carlos talked about the presents the town's lovely circus owner, marriage counselor, therapist, and charity man Butterball walked over to one of the presents and opened it up. Inside the present was something that made Butterball’s face twist in absolute horror and start screaming.
Butterball ran off back towards the partially intact town which was mostly destroyed from the previous battle with War.
Asgher looked at the presents, then at Butterball who was running away in horror, and then at lior. “I think we should get rid of those presents, Lior.”
Asgher rushed towards some of the presents and piled them at the edge of the battlefield while trying his best not to drop them just in case something terrible happened when they opened up.
With a look of annoyance Asgher said “I hate presents..”
Near Carlos are over 100 presents falling from the sky. Carlos then freezes the presents in time and then shoots at them with energy blasts. He pauses as he sees Loir appear in the sky!
Lior teleports and starts to collect some of the presents out of the sky, putting them in a sled.
Jack looked at the group with pure rage in his eyes as they caught his presents and Ji-Min sleeping like nothing was happening. Jack screamed at the party “I HATE YOU! YOU INSOLENT FOOLS! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!”
Jack slowly started to grow taller his bones cracking horribly as he grew, his grin became larger and his teeth became sharper and sharper, his fingers growing longer with sharp claw like fingertips, the top of his skull grew spikes that were shaped like a crown on his head, Jack grew boney wings from his back with a black cloth like membrane between them, and finally his bones shifted from a milky white to a glistening charcoal black. Jack chuckled as he looked at his new form
“Haven’t pulled this out for thousands of years… Last time I used this I was fighting that stupid light goddess Lioras."
Carlos then grabs a present and uses its explosion to propel him to Jack, right-hooking him in the process!
Jack looked down at Carlos and swiped him away like a little fly and looked disgusted at the idea of just having touched Carlos.“Ew…” Carlos smacked straight to the ground takes a good look at what Jack has now become…a 10 foot giant lich freak! “I didn’t think you could get any uglier than that, I’m mistaken” Carlos said with a slight chuckle while coughing up blood.
Asgher walked over and laughed at Jack with a big hardy laugh straight from the heart “Aw~ look who’s trying to be all big and strong!” Asgher then slams his fist into Jack's side and flung him thirty feet away
Lior thinks to himself “Lioras….”
And then…
Lior Freezes, as his blood then explodes in his body and Lior falls to the floor, passing out.
Carlos watching Loir explode limps over to Ji-min yelling” JI-MIN PLEASE, WAKE UP, WE NEED YOU. LOIR EXPLODED AND I CAN’T FIGHT RIGHT NOW!” Carlos tries shaking Ji-min awake but in response, he wakes up and accidentally knocks out Carlos with a sucker punch since he was jumpscared.
Asgher looked behind him and saw Lior passed out on the floor and covered in blood and slowly turned back to Jack and trudge over to him and grabbed Jack by the head and spoke in a deep threatening tone “shaingkei’s wrath….” as Asgher said this a giant spike of bone and blood shot up from the ground and out of his hand and went straight through Jack's body with enough force to atomize a normal person's body.
Asgher kept launching attack after attack on Jack not giving him a second to fight back as he blasted him with bones, blood, and punches “YOU USELESS PILE OF BONES! CAN’T EVEN FIGHT BACK!?! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BEATEN INTO THE GROUND BY THE PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT WERE SO WEAK!? WHAT!? NO ANSWER!? CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE!?”
Lior opens his eyes to see an empty space in a dimension, Lior then looks down to see if his guts have exploded, but sees that they are fine.
“Where am I?”
Then a soft voice speaks from above.. “Hello child of light. I am Lioras, goddess of light and life..
“Lioras… What is this place
Lioras smiled down at him as she came into view. She was a pretty young lady in a white dress with golden accents and long blond hair with a golden laurel around her head “This is my domain child of light..”
Lior looks around the domain, “did i die?”
Lioras chuckled softly “Oh heavens no. You are still alive and well, child of light.”
Lior looks around again, “last thing i remembered was falling to the ground..”
She placed a hand on Lior's stomach “makes sense.. Your stomach did explode.”
Lior just freezes “what…”
She looked at him thoughtfully “You didn’t know? It must’ve hurt pretty bad..”
Lior thinks and realizes..
“Damn Ashger…, forcing my blood.. Into my eyes causing side effects”
Lior looks up at Lioras
“Are my friends okay?”
Lioras nodded “Yes, child of light. Your friend Asgher is currently defending your body very relentlessly.”
Lioras placed a hand on Lior's head and showed him a vision of Asgher pummeling Jack and not giving Jack a chance to get one attack in just so that Lior, who he thought was dead, could have a chance at survival and not get completely killed by Jack's new form.
Lioras sighed “Your friend is very… barbaric… child of light.”
Lior sighed “He was like that the first time I met him”
“One thing is, I still don't get how I am here”
Lioras nodded and explained “I brought you here because you caught my attention and you were close enough to death for me to pull your consciousness here without your body coming with you.”
Lior looks up “ I understand it now, so there are conditions to get in a dimension”
Lioras nodded “Correct.. Gods are only limited by rules of old that dictate we cannot interfere with mortal affairs unless they will affect the gods as well. But we can have our own chosen warriors that we may help whenever they meet our requirements.”
Lior looks at Liora's “What happens when I return to the world?”
Lioras thought for a moment before speaking “I shall heal you and give you the energy to finish off this wretch, Child of light.”
Lior Nods “thank you”
Lioras gave him one final smile and a pat on the head before starting the process of sending him back to his body “Goodbye, child of light”
Lior nods “Will I ever see you again?”
Lioras shook her head “Hopefully you will never have to see me again, Child of light”
Lior walks a few steps before looking back “One last thing, I am the Judgement Of The Sky” Lior smiles
As Lior disappeared it felt great, like a warm summer evening surrounded by loved ones at the beach.
Back in Eldergrove where Asgher was pummeling Jack still having not let up his assault the entire time since Lior passed out and where Carlos and Ji-min were attempting to resuscitate Lior.
Ji-min hitting lior with the flat side of 大剣 (daiken)
“Get up its not the time for that”
Turns to you the reader ”Nothing normal in this damn book does anyone even read this”
Carlos also in the same amount of panic at his own injuries and at Lior’s injuries “FIRST I GET SWATTED INTO THE GROUND AND NOW LIOR EXPLODED!? HOW COULD THIS GET ANY WORSE!?”
Suddenly while Asgher and Jack were fighting there was a loud cracking sound and Asgher flying into a boulder with a skeletal arm bursting through his bone armor.
Asgher looked down at his broken armor and roared in rage as he held up his hand and clenched his fist as hard as he could causing the armor over his hands to crack and when he did a Sphere of bone and blood surrounded Jack “EMPYREAN OF ICHOROUS AND OSSEUS HAIL!” inside of the sphere jack was assaulted with spikes of bone and hardened blood repeatedly.
When the sphere receded Jack looked like he had just been shot with multiple cannons from every direction and he was covered in the blood from the blood spikes.
Asgher smirked at Jack “Super Nova..” As Asgher says this the blood on Jack's body explodes. After the explosion Jack was left as a skull on the ground..
Slowly Jack’s bones reformed and he was left looking like nothing had happened to him. Jack laughed at Asgher “I commend your efforts Asgher but you just aren’t strong enough to beat me on your own~ stand proud as you are about to be killed by the new ruler of this world!” Jack slowly walked over to Asgher and prepared to kill him.
Before Jack takes one more step he stops as he hears an explosion behind him.
Standing far away, Light radiating off of him, his wounds healed and full of adrenaline
Lior
Jack turned to look at where the explosion came from and saw lior completely healed and laughed “fresh meat~”
Lior looks around, “Am I dreaming?”
Asgher yelled over to Lior “This ain’t no dream Lior! This guy may be a little strong.”
Lior looks at Asgher and then to Jack, "I'm going to finish what my goddess started””
Then Divine Light surrounding Lior Body covered him completely with two dark eyes made of divine flare….
FORM: DIVINE JUDGEMENT
Lior stares at Jack “your going to get what happened to death”
As Lior vanishes in thin air as he appears in front of Jack with his fist covered in divine light and 4 layers of air pressed into each other, Lior then punches Jack before Jack could see the punch.
“JUDGEMENT OF THE 4 WINDS”
Jack took the punch and flew back ten feet “That almost hurt…” Jack then flew forwards propelling himself with his wings and attempted to grab Lior by the head and slam him into the ground
Before Jack was able to reach Lior, Asgher plowed in and punched Jack away, his armor fully reformed and his fists now adorned with boney spikes “Back off you bucket of bones!”
Jack stumbles back a few feet and then Lior Right hooks him towards Asghar
Lior Looks at Asgher “Isnt that a dumb thing to say, You literary call yourself ‘the Bone King’ ”
Asgher rolled his eyes at Lior “he’s a skeleton and I’m actually a person..”
Lior Teleports behind Asgher,
“I forgot to do something”
As then Lior back hand’s Asgher
“That is for making my organs explode”
Asgher looked at Lior like he just cursed his bloodline “My bad for trying to HELP you!”
Asgher huffed “Can we just deal with this guy already and not beat each other's brains out” Asgher ran towards Jack and hit him with a haymaker and sent him towards Lior “Catch!”
Lior catches Jack by the skull and proceeds to light Jack's skull in Divine Light and throws him back to Asgher.
“Sure”
Asgher splashed his blood onto Jack’s body before throwing him into the air towards Lior “Return to sender”
Lior Jumps up and slams him towards Carlos
“Heads up Carlos”
Carlos wakes up to the sound of the guys beating up Jack and sees Jack flying towards him! Carlos pauses time to get up and prepare an array of energy spikes! Carlos unpauses time and shoots his energy spike at Jack, pinning him mid-air as Carlos surrounds energy around his daggers as Carlos yells to Lior and Asgher “Guys What The Hell Am I Suppose To Do To Him, I Got Nothing But My Daggers And Energy But It Looks Like He Isn’t Really Affected By Them!”
Lior catches Jack and throws him to the ground where Jack lies…
The group of heroes slowly walked towards Jack in a battle field of nothing but rubble and ash from Lior’s blasts of divine lights with the occasional mass of bones sticking out of the ground from Asghers previous attacks on Jack
Asgher stood over Jack's body with a foot on his sternum “You have transgressed this world for the last time…”
Lior walks forwards besides Asgher and Looks at Jack “Before we Kill him, I need to ask a question”
Asgher nodded and stepped back from Jack. Asgher after stepping back drove his hands into the ground and sent fists of bone through the ground and back out of the ground to hold him down.
Lior walks down towards Jack and stops in front of him, still radiating with light
“Do you know anything about the Dragon King Orion”
Jack struggled before speaking “orion..? Yes I do know about him… he hasn’t had the guts to come out of his Tree… why do you wanna know…?”
“Reasons. Ill ask again do you know anything about Orion”
Asgher looked at Jack again and mumbled “Why does it matter to a dead man.”
Jack grunted as the hands tightened on his body “FINE! He lives in the biggest tree on the continent with his Beast emperors… good luck killing him…”
“Thank you”
Carlos and Ji-min walks over to the group and looks at Jack with dead-piercing eyes of rage and hatred. “You know you deserve this……Freak” Carlos whispers that only he can hear.
Asgher clenched his fists as the blood he had splattered on Jack’s body exploded in a flash of crimson red light leaving most of Jack’s body as a piles of ash and bone powder “Supernova”
Lior Looks at Jack, “Do you have any last words”
Jack spoke in a pained tone “I Swear to be a stain on this world through each and every one of your incarnations for the rest of eternity!”
Lior raises his hands as a holy circle appears in the sky, “Judgement of the Divine Angel..”
As a beam of divine light drops from above into Jack,
Jack screamed in agony as he was atomized by the light.
The party of heroes now realized that they have just defeated the stain on this world and turned to the townspeople who were celebrating the fact that they have been freed from this blight inside of their destroyed town.
During the party Asgher suddenly stopped and asked while looking out at the destroyed town “Wait… Who’s paying for all of this damage?”
THE END.
Epilogue
A man sits at a table while writing away on a paper with an ink brush.
The man in question sat wearing an all white suit, with snow white hair, skin, and eyes from which dripped a black ink like substance. On his head were two white fox ears also with the same snow white color and nine long snow white fox tails each being tipped with inky black fur that highly contrasted the white fur before it.
The man quietly wrote about what had happened at bone peak mountain which at the time had happened a few weeks prior. The man looked up from his paper for a moment. “I guess I have some new ‘guests’~” The man got a toothy grin after saying this as large clouds of ink started to swirl around him as he pulled out a brush and painted a door in thin air before opening it to Bone Peak mountain and stepping through.
