Book 4: Chapter 76: The Beast's Rage and the Judgement of the Ages

The In-Between

Moments Ago

Tar panics as he repeatedly slams into the barrier of solid miasma around him, uncaring that each time he does so it wears away slightly at his avatar. Uncaring that it will take him months just to recover after this.

Because all thats on his mind right now is the image of Scarlets injured face in his vision as he slams himself into the wall with abandon, just like hes been doing for Oberon knows how long now.

But out of nowhere, the miasma barrier suddenly lifts itself, making him fly straight through it, passing out of the In-Between again and into Tartarus where he finds himself in the Demon Kings throne room. And without a single care for the various dukes in the room, the two duchesses, or even the two Demon Lords, Tar immediately flies straight past them to end up right at the Demon King as he physically grabs and pulls on his hair, to the mans absolute shock along with all of the demons in the room.

Please help her! Shes dying!!!!! Tar shouts, his voice echoing throughout the room in a panic.

Then the Demon Kings eyes flare red, a flurry of emotion passing through them so quickly that Tar barely manages to catch the absolute rage, hatred, and fear in them before a powerful bubble of blood spreads out from him, filling as far as Tar can see with the Demon Kings Blood Domain. And within that Domain, everything begins to shake. The demons and even the Demon Lords in the throne room all drop to one knee without a word, each trembling in fear, leaving the Demon King to rise to his feet, the ground beneath him cracking as flakes of crimson blood fly out of his eyes like flames before vanishing again after getting a few inches away from his face.

Take me to her now, the Demon King declares, his voice echoing throughout the throne room with a sense of power that urges Tar to immediately enter the In-Between after handing the Demon King a piece of his fur to use for tracking. And after mere seconds, he appears back at the Battlefield hundreds of meters above the ground where he looks down to see the lunatic attacking Scarlet and throwing her battered and broken body like a ragdoll.

All of his beloved best friends armor is shattered, leaving naught but the unbreakable under armor remaining as her own bones stick out of her skin all across her body. Meanwhile her very eyes are crying blood, blood is leaking from every single pore in her body, and he even senses wounds all across her reality through his bond now that hes close enough.

But to Tars surprise, the undead kitsune just laughs throughout all of this until he can no longer laugh anymore, his lips perfectly seamed together by themselves as the blood lycans all around them continue kneeling, their glares directed at the undead kitsune.

Then they continue speaking.

Furthermore, all family members of the assaulter shall be executed should there be any and have their holdings claimed by the crown to be distributed to the Royal Family member who was assaulted. This punishment will thereby be increased in severity for the next one to earn the judgement of the ages as according to the Demon Kings will. For those who break the Laws of Tartarus deserve no easy death, nor do those who fail to learn from their predecessors.

Tars eyes widen in shock at that, not having known the Laws himself, only for his gaze to return to Scarlet as he rushes down to her, only to find her wounds having already healed. The Demon King having apparently healed her long before dealing out the undead kitsunes punishment despite not having approached her himself.

So Tar looks up again just to find six different demon dukes and duchesses appearing before the Demon King, each holding a chest. And without a moment of hesitation, the dukes and duchesses each place one segment of the undead kitsune whos eyes still have laughter in them despite the absolute pain he must be in right now into each chest.

Then Tar turns back to the unconscious Scarlet again, only to find both the Demon King and the Blood Lord kneeling next to her already, both in their lycan forms.

But before the other demons leave, every last demon in the world shouts one last thing, making a chill run down Tars spine despite him being in an artificial body. One that he feels is beginning to lose consciousness.

The Dawn of the End shall rise only after the Blood no longer Stains the Battlefield, for the Royal Family are all there is. The Bringers of Hope, and the Calamities of the Kingdoms enemies.

And right when the last word is stated, everything goes black in Tars vision, the fae prince falling down to the ground himself in a heap.
