Burning Soul

“I don’t understand one thing?” Valkyrie was nagging to Regis for a while,

“Now what you don’t understand!” this time he decided to answer her instead of dodging it clearly.

“Why must you take so much interest in Mortals!

Like can we not just be ourselves and let them deal with it all?”

“That won’t do?” Regis’s reply was clear,

“First the things that we see are happening because of us being ourselves for so long!

Second, right now, it might not look so overwhelming but in some time things are bound to escalate beyond mortal’s comprehension!

I know for sure that almost no God will take any action over this so I must act on my own!

Also, it’s not the Demon tribe that worries me but something even cruel and grave which could even destroy the heavens!” As he said he showed her a summoning Rune that was similar to the one in Arnor!

…

“Master!

Master!” Ember panicked as Theo caught the fever. His health was going down.

It had been almost 6 hours since their arrest and meanwhile Catherine who was just as shaken somehow got back to her nerves but Theo wasn’t able to deal with the strong stench of dead flesh and rotten air filled with the smell of blood, he threw up almost three times and now was sick enough to panic others.

Sylph, the wind spirit, had taken a hit due to the environment as well. She didn’t dare step out of the Spirit realm this time! Catherine managed to help her escape there but only Sylph could cast high-level Healing spells. Without her, she couldn’t heal Theo effectively.

“His fever won’t go! What should I do!” Ember was rather stressed about his situation!

“Shut the heck you little shit!” A guard, irritated by her frantic cries stamped on the cell door yelling at her.

On his actions, Ember couldn’t hold her anger in and charge in on him. She kicked the door with all her might making a loud bang that almost shook the entire building!

But not a scratch!

Instead, she was electrocuted and was sent back flying!

“What the….” She couldn’t understand at the time what just happened!

“What do you think of us huh! These are specially designed cells for beings like you loads!

All the walls of the cells and the prison are lined with defensive magic, you can try all you want!” The guard left laughing.

.

…

“You…” she charged in yet again, with the same results!

“That smartass! I’ll get him good!” Aeneas also vented off his anger on the wall resulting in similar electrocuting!

“Why don’t you both calm down and be quiet for a while?” Nuae’s voice seemed to stop both of them from being reckless,

“Now, use your healing on him as long as you can! We’ll come up with something by then!” He suggested to which everyone agreed.

His health showed no sign of recovery. His fever was getting worse every minute!

“Master, please reply to me! Can you hear me?” She tried calling for him but to no avail, he had already gone unconscious!

.

…

“What can go wrong with him! Don’t make a fuss over this okay!” Rene had it enough with Diablo getting restless!

“I know!

But, something is off! I think we should go!” He was repeating this every few minutes.

“I said calm down! You’ve already intervened enough, for now, let him deal with it!”

“I know, but what about this awful feeling that is worrying me!” Diablo was still restless.

‘Hmm, you are right! It is a dangerous feeling!’ Rene looked up at the roof of hell. They could feel the tragedy approaching the kid and his companions but all they could do was look!

“He has never seen so much cruelty!” Diablo was talking to himself,

‘A lord of hell is talking about cruelty!’ Rene narrowed his eyes as he gazed upon the restless figure,

“Is it something related to gods or someone else! Should we just kill them, wait but we can’t! But what do we need to do?”

Rene rubbed his forehead as the pain began building up,

Though he didn’t stay distracted long, “Oh! I remember! Didn’t Deffalagus try his luck on someone recently? What happened?” As Diablo asked the Spawn that was standing nearby got on his nerves, “Deffalagus?

He charged on the lord of the seventh plane’s overlord with all his might! I heard it was rather difficult but unfortunately…!”

His silence answered him well!

“But…” His reply got Rene a bit confused,

“You didn’t expect that did you?” Diablo understood right away!

“Hmm, he’s spreading his wings, I didn’t think he’d beat Marcus! Huh! We should keep an eye on him as well! What happened with the seal?”

“We sent Lumiene to go clean up the area and observe the seal! We’ll have a report real soon!” The spawn replied.

“If it's Lumiene, I can stay assured of a successful report, let’s hope she doesn’t go on her own and kill that fat blob! Ha-ha!” Diablo’s reply brought a peel of laughter.

Here, in his own domain, Deffallagus sneezed, scaring the hell out of his spawn
