Chapter 2

Demon lord Moloch

As Sky Stormbreaker  looked up at the sky, the most unbelievable thing that could have possibly happened did take place: the dark shadow in the sky transformed into a creature that was almost humanlike in appearance. It was possible that people would have taken it for a human if it hadn't been for the two horns that stuck out from the top of its head.

However, the black creature that was floating in the air radiated everywhere like a dazzling dark star, and everyone was able to see it, throughout the battlefield. Even though the darkness that was all around made it difficult for the army to see their surrounding,they were still able to see the creature clearly.

In the presence of the monster's gaze, Sky stormbreaker experienced a feeling similar to that of having all of his deepest, darkest secrets revealed to this incredible being.

He noticed that the creature was also gazing at him as he stared at it. 

The creature continued to descend downward until it finally landed in the area where Sky's wife Aria was. When the creature's legs made contact with the ground, it resulted in a pressure on impact that was so great that it caused everyone to be thrown backwards.

Sky stormbreaker found himself in the middle of a pile of rubble that included the dead bodies of both humans and demons. He threw the dead bodies that were on top of him and stood up.

He searched the battlefield in an effort to locate his wife because the creature had descended close to where she had been standing. Because of the this, he was worried about how it would affect her well-being.

He looked in every possible place around the battlefield, but he was unable to find her. After that, he turned his attention to the area where the creature was and noticed a large amount of shredded flesh to the side of it. It appeared as though a hammer had been used to shatter the bodies that belonged to the people who had this shredded flesh.

He was immediately plagued by apprehension. He looked close the spot where his wife had been standing and all he saw was mangled flesh; which had the similarities of his wife. He was immediately filled with an ill foreboding.

He had the impression that a thousand needles were penetrating his heart, which caused him to feel unending anguish and resentment. His wife had been killed descending impact of the creature.

Bloody tears started to fall from his eyes as an insatiable desire for revenge and a frenzy that seemed to have no end took over his mind. He was going completely insane. He shouted with anger using all of his might and then reached for a sword that was nearby before running towards the creature.

Almost instantaneously, he closed the distance that separated him from the creature, at which point he raised his sword and aimed it at the creature's head with the intention of beheading it.

 The creature looked over at him and surprisingly he came to a complete halt while still rushing through the air.

"Inpudent ……….How dare you Ant!!"

Sky Stormbreaker, was thrown to the ground at the same time an enormous amount of pressure descended upon the entire planet, as the creatures's voice reverberated across the whole planet.

His entire legs collapsed, before his body completely laid flat on the floor, due to the pressure created by the creature.

Everyone on the planet was compelled to lie on their chests in the very same position as Sky Stormbreaker.

Those individuals who were not as strong as Sky Stormbreker was had all of their bones fractured, and others were completely suffocated by the pressure.

Sky Stormbreaker struggled to stand, but to no avail, he was going to try everything to stand, he no longer cared about the repercussions of his actions. At this point, the only thing that mattered to him was killing the creature that was responsible for the death of his wife.

"My exalted self has seen how you lowly beings have defended your so-called world against my minions, and I must say that your struggles were quite entertaining, especially you, who goes by the name Sky Stormbreaker" A loud voice reverbrated throughout the planet.

"The name of this exalted demon lord is Moloch, your pitiful performance provided me with much amusement.

I gave you plenty of time to prepare yourself so that you could make this experience a little bit more enjoyable, but you have all dissapointed me, including you Sky Stormbreaker, with all the time given to you by this lord, this is the pitifull strength it resulted to, you guys can't push me into raisinga finger"

After listening to what the demon lord had just said, Sky Stormbreaker couldnt help but wake up from his state of insanity.

He had devoted an uncountable number of years to training and combat in preparation for today, the day on which he would vanquish the demons, but all of that was just mere child's play infront of this demon lord, he could not even resist Moloch's pressure talm more about fighting him.

In the eyes of the demon lord, all of his practice and planning were nothing more than a joke. Sky Stormbreaker laughed hysterically as tears streamed out of his eyes.

Was this the end that their world, was this what fate had in store for them, was it the fate of  humans to perish, becoming food for the demonds?.  He thougt as more tears streamed out of his eyes.

When the demon lord saw Sky stormbreaker crying, he let out an angry howl and yelled, "Pa-the-tic!! "

"If this is the best you lowly beings have to offer, then it is time for this charade to come to an end," said the moster.

"

The demon lord spoke while raising his hands and a suction force streamed from it, all of the other people who were still alive on the planet were drawn toward the demon lord as if they were being pulled toward a vacuum.

Then, one by one, they all appeared in the presence of the demon lord.

Demon lord Moloch yelled, "The one named sky!!, I have seen your pitiful exhibition for a long time, and today I want to show you how pitiful your attempts were." 

Sky stormbreaker turned his head and saw all of his friends, brother and sisters, other people he considered to be members of his family and all the other humans all appearing above the demon lord.

The demon lord made a gesture with his fingers and then people began exploding one after the other, their flesh dispersing all over the battlefield.

Soon almost all the humans had exploded, the people that were left were all the people he knew.

Sky Stormbreaker pleaded with tears streaming out of his eyes, "I beg you, spare them, and I promise to do anything and everything you ask," .

It was the first time in his life that he had ever begged anyone for anything, but given the fact that these were his brothers and sister, with whom he had fought in a great many wars, he simply could not stand by and watch them die.

The demon lord turned his attention in Sky Stormbreaker direction glaring at him in disdain.

They wailed and begged, but just like everyone else they exploded, the demon lord paid them no attention;

After a few minutes, there were only five people left on the continent who were still alive excluding Sky Stormbreaker. These five people, were the five strongest humans on the continent below Sky Stormbreaker. In addition, they were his sworn brother and sisters, the people with whom he was most closely associated.

Even after he pleaded with the Demon Lord a final time to spare his companions, the Demon Lord was unmoved by his pleadings. When he was about to continue pleading with the demon lord, he heard one of his friends calling out to him. He turned around to see who it was.

"Senior brother, stop pleading with him; we have fought the demons with everything we have; even if we have been defeated, our dignity will not be diminished by this demon. Stop pleading with him."

One of his older friends said shouting at him, he could see the resolve in his friends eyes, they was no longer the fear on death in them.

The friend continued shouting loudly with all his strenght

"We shall fight with every fiber of our being, even in the face of death, we shall not surrender!"

The individual continued chanting for a considerable amount of time.

Following the individual who was shouting,the other four people who remained joined in chanting

"we shall fight with every fiber of our being, even in death we shall not surrender!!!,"

They continued to chant at such a high volume that it was possible to hear them from several meters away. All of them were chanting together.

This was their war song, and whenever they went into battle, they would sing this song over and over again as they marched to the front lines.

They continued to chant, and as they did so, they began to struggle against the restriction whic had been placed by the demon lord, that had been holding all of them back up until now.

The demon lord no longer found thier display amusing, he longer saw fear in their eyes, instead they were filled with blood thirst and hate and were even begining to rebel against his restriction, this was not what he wanted.

He had created this entire setup, so he could see them wallow in anguish and die begging for their lives, but surprisingly this five people have deviated from the othes.

So he put an end to their lives in a single instant.

At this point, Sky Stormbreaker had already given up pleading with the demon lord, and the tears in his eyes had dried up completely.

Instead, there was only insanity and the utmost madness in his eyes as images of his wife's mangled flesh, along with images of his brothers, sisters, and every other human, flashed through his mind. This continued until he lost all he sanity.

Subcontinously he started chanting the war song

"we shall fight with every fiber of our being, even in death we shall not surrender!!!,"

As he continued chanting, the volume of his voice went up slightly with each new word.

"we shall fight with every fiber of our being, even in death we shall not surrender!!!,"

These words reverberated all around the battlefield, creating the impression that every human being that had been killed had regained consciousness and was now chanting along with him.

"we shall fight with every fiber of our being, even in death we shall not surrender!!!,"

As the chant continued, Sky stormbreaker started struggling against the pressure that had kept him on the ground.

The demon lord looked at Sky Stormbreaker's struggle and smiled

This was nothing more than the ant's final display of strength.

He increased the amount of force he had been applying on Sky stormbreaker; immediately, Sky's body slammed on the ground once more, he had almost been able to stand, but this new preesure set him back to the beginning.

Sky Stormbreaker did not give up and instead continued to struggle against the pressure, a strange force began to awaken inside of his body. This force sucked up all of the energy from its surroundings and pumped it into his body. Because of this new energy that filled his entire body he regained back all his strenght.

The demon lord did not notice this new power which had awakened in sky's body, he was just amused by Sky's struggle.

As the seconds passed, Sky could feel his body getting stronger as a result of the energy that was continuing to enter his body from the environment. As a result of this, he made an increased effort to fight against the pressure, that was pressing him down.

The demon lord was taken aback when, after one minute, sky was already almost standing.

This was the second time that he had incresed the pressure that was emanating from his body, and at the moment, he was utilizing 80% of it.

It infuriated him that this lowly human was able to withstand it because such a weak being wasn't supposed to have such strength.

Once more, he ramped up the pressure all the way to one hundred percent, but the human continued to fight against him.

Once more, Sky was operating at his maximum potential, and this time he had alreaded stood up, he picked a sword which was by his side holding it so strongly that it creaked.

The demon lord saw madness in Sky's eyes along with the craziness which had overtoo him, and he knew that this human was going to oppose him, Sky had decided to break the natural order and defy him.

This lowly being was not soposed to have this kind of strenght,

Sky Stormbreaker, whose thoughts were consumed by rage and the need for vengeance, rushed towards the demon with his sword drawn.

As the demon lord observed Sky's movements, which were like those of an ant attempting to stop a chariot, he muttered,

"Crazy fool." 

Soon after, the demon lord extended his hands upward in the direction of Sky, and shortly after that, a ball of black flames formed from the demon's fingers, which began to coalesce into one another. After the fires had successfully formed themselves into a perfect sphere, the demon lord let it loose and sent it hurtling in the direction of Sky.

Following what appeared to be an instantaneous teleportation, a sphere of flames materialized in front of Sky and struck him multiple times until he was propelled hundreds of kilometers away.

Sky experienced a level of discomfort that he had never encountered before; however, he did not make any sounds of distress, and the only sound that could be heard coming from him was a chant.

"we shall fight with every fiber of our being, even in death we shall not surrender!!!,"

The dark flames engulfed his entire body and ate away his flesh piece by piece as they spread throughout his body. Sky felt a pain he had never felt before.

But still he uttered bo cry of pain, he had obly increased the volume of his chant.

He was completely deranged, and the only thing on his mind was getting even with the demon lord Moloch who had wronged him.

The demon lord waited patiently as Sky was consumed by the dark flames. He had been looking forward to the eerie and agonizing screams that Sky would make as the flames burned his body, but he did not hear any of them. This made him unhappy, especially considering how the day had not gone according to plan.

He stood there and watched as the dark flames consumed Sky, his flesh, his intestines, and every fiber of his organs, until the only thing that was left of him was his skeleton.

Once the demon lord realized that the lowly being had passed away, he extinguished the fire, regardless of whether or not the events transpired in accordance with his original plan. He had been successful in achieving the goals. The total elimination of all living things in the planet.

At the precise instant that the demon lord was making preparations to leave, the charred skeleton that belonged to sky raised its hands.
