The air feels heavy.
The ground is filled with blood and sorrows.
The last light, the bearer of great hope, the merciful, Zion was kneeling on the ground, around him countless demons gather.
They did not gather here for sorrow, they gather here for celebration. They mocked the last hope of humanity.
"Pitiful human, why struggle" a demon ask him sounding like he cares but in his face it draws the mocking face of the demon.
*Huff* *Huff*
In the lands of Alveha, the world were filled with mystical things. Magic, aura, and divine energy were possible.
Some lunatics who gather together open a gate that never ment to be. The demons march towards the lands of humans, elf, gnolls, dwarves and other species.
Those who bear the power of the Gods were the fortress of humanity. They are the pillars that was holding the fight towards demons.
One of them is the person who were known as "The Knight of Light", "The First Proxy of Goddess of Light" and many other titles.
"How did this happened" He ask himself.
In the past, eradicating the cult of the lunatics. He spared life of countless human lunatics who pleas with their life.
He, who were pure and kind hearted, didn't know how to distinguish those who are rightful for his mercy and not.
He let many dangerous people live for the sake of salvation. He vow to let those who come under him and the Goddess live without question.. and that's his biggest mistake.
Many of the people he give mercy to, come and backstab him. Though he didn't die, he was unprepared on such attacks.
Of course some of those became his most trusted fellows too. Specially the "Mage of Blood" that he trust.
"Zion.. what a pitiful fool" A familiar voice comes through him. He looks up and see a familiar face.
"Greya.." Zion utter clearly out of breath.
"Why is she here?" He thought as he looks up to a face he will always remember.
Her gray hair, red eyes, and her iconic, robe of nightfall. She excell on one and one technique only, her very own, Blood Magic.
In the past he fought the Mage of Blood, he saw a young pitiful girl, he thinks that's she was enslaved by the cultist.
"This filty heathens! They dare to enslave human!!! A girl at that!" Zion shout as his companion arrive at the site.
"Oh what a pitiful young woman.. thos dirty pieces of shit! They dare to lay their hands on this young woman's face???" With her short brown hair, and ember eyes, she was the treasure of the temple of knights, the Knights of Wind, Zeya.
"Look at this beautiful little girl.." Zeya said as he scrub the face of the little girl.
"Little girl what's your name?" Zion asked with a commanding tone.
"Hey dude! Tone down a little bit~" Zeya said as he pat the young girl shoulder.
"M-my name is..."
Nothing but regrets in Zions eyes, as he looks up and see Greya, the very child he save to stab him in the back.
With the last of his energy to speak, he gather his strength and shout.
"Greya!!!" A loud roar echoes throughout the battlefield.
"Hehe.. bye now.. father" Greya said as Zion froze on those words.
"Yeah.. it's my fault for being to soft" He thought as he close his eyes and prepare for his final attack.
The demons smile as they saw the falm of the bearer of humanity. The last hope, the proxy of Light.
"Huh? W-wait! Run!!!" Greya shout as she suddenly feel the concentration of the divine energy circling Zion.
"This is my final attack!!! My final resolve! If I die! I'll get you all go with me!!!" He thought as his blood overflows through his mouth, nose and eyes.
[The Sacrificial Lamb]
The whole area of the battlefield, was completely vanished. Everyone in the 2 kilometers radius was reduced to dust.
"Ahh is this the end? In the end.. I didn't stop the invasion.. the demon king.. didn't even descent and I'm already dead"
"Why the hell did I even been selected. If in the end I failed?" Zion question himself as his consciousness float to nothingness.
"My knight.. you did nothing wrong" A familiar voice answered his doubts.
"Goddess? Is this really the end.." Zion ask.
"My knight you must be brave for you hold the last pillar of humanity" The Goddess reply.
"But.. I'm nothing... What did I do wrong your Holiness.. did I become too soft for people that it ended up becoming the sole reason that the demons were able to accelerate their plans?" Zion had regretted his recent decisions to spare those people, the traitors of humanity.
"You did nothing wrong my knight" The Goddess was worried, hinted by her voice, it's hard for her that her first ever knight, her proxy died in regret.
"Everything gonna be okay for now my knight, be brave.. I hope you will achieve things that you didn't achieve in the past" The Goddess said as Zion drift towards the nothingness crushed in the space.
He opened his eyes and take his first breath again.
[The law of causality detected abnormality]
[Will impose the punishment]
"Tch! This is giving me a lot of headache" The man said, his silhouette was visible on the round table.
"The time was now back, in the human world. The Gods all recall the memory of the past events that soon will happen. Of course the power of "that" God can't control the other gods too" Another one said as he raises concerns.
"But because the [Law of Casuality] interven, us Gods, can't even inform our representatives about this information.. that is if you care about he punishment though" A womans voice said.
"Well this should be fun. I'll see how much that guy will grow this time around.. and this time I'll make sure to devour his soul" A sulky man said as he stands and walk away.
"This is the end of the sudden meeting of the [Gods]"
