《Forsaken By The Light》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The demons heard a voice that caused a chill in the spine. And suddenly, all the mana in the room was out of control. The atmosphere grew denser and the weaker demons began to stagger.
— Some bastard invaded the formation, kill him immediately, we cannot tolerate any interruption during the ritual! — Shouted the demon responsible for the ritual.
— Listen to what the lord's servant says, get together and eliminate the intruder. Shouted other demons
Upon hearing the call of the demon that led the ritual, all the demons came together and advanced quickly towards the angel.
The horde of demons began to cast various spells and curses towards the intruder who remained immobile.
A wave of flame spread and formed a hurricane that swallowed Augusto completely.
The demons did not wait even an instant and cast new spells, while others advanced towards the angel.
— This bastard is an angel! Shouted a demon who tried to engage in physical combat with Augusto.
— What does a creature like this do here? Asked the demon wearing the robe.
After the wave of spells and curses, the demons fought with the angel.
And what happened afterwards was an impressive scene!
The angel cleverly wielded the spear and impaled all the demons that came into his head. Large spins and cuts that caused shock waves and disturbed the mana.
An unfortunate demon approached the angel while he fought another monster, thinking that he could do some damage to Augustus. But he was surprised by his skull being crushed by a terrible punch.
The [Blood Crown] wounded the angel's head and the grayish blood flowed constantly. However, Augusto's face showed no feeling.
— Demons really are boring creatures. Said the angel.
The demons continued to accumulate on top of Augusto until a sudden transformation occurred in the mana of the environment. The air became thick and all the mana was sucked quickly into the crown of thorns that was attached to august's head.
So he finally summoned [Punishment].
The angel opened his left hand as if he were holding the demons' souls and summoned a great deal of dark energy.
The sounds seemed to have hidden in fear and time seemed to freeze.

The demon who was serving the lord who would receive the offerings felt a chill. It felt like his soul was leaving his body.
Then a wave of dark energy was expelled from the angel's palm. Darkness took over and advanced rapidly towards the demons.
Deafening screams were heard when the demons were hit:
— Kill me please!!!
— End my suffering !!!
— Smash my head like you did with others, but please get rid of this suffering !!! Shouted the demons.
[Punishment] was almost a curse, the element of darkness was used to cause a great deal of damage and amplify the feeling of pain.
The robed demon did not escape either, the dark energy reached him and dragged him to the angel's feet.
As he approached the angel, he was met with a spear stabbed in his mouth, which went through his skull.
You have obtained the energy of a demonic creature!
You have obtained the energy of a demonic creature!
You have obtained the energy of a demonic creature!
...
What followed was an absolute silence. The women watched the situation start with great hope. Hope that they would be saved, that someone would have come to save them.
However, after all the demons were exterminated they felt fear, an absolute fear.
— What a scary creature !!
— I heard that angels were war machines, but seeing in person is much more frightening!
— And he uses the energy of darkness, is this not a kind of taboo among angels?
— We will be killed !! — they thought.
The angel spread its wings and flew slowly towards the center of the village. Then he slowly landed near the place where the women were chained.
— Hello, ladies! Said the angel with a smile.
— Before we start our presentation, it is important that you are aware that I left them alive with a very clear purpose.
— I need information about the Mortal World, and it is good that you have some use. Said the angel in an inquisitive tone.
The women were impressed, the angel was incredibly beautiful, more beautiful than words could describe. He was about six feet tall, with long black hair that stretched to his waist and was completely naked.

The feeling they had when looking at the angel was a mixture of fear and desire.
— Thank you for saving us, the demons you exterminated intended to offer us to some evil entity. — They said.
— I already know that. I try to know is how you came to be here, where you came from and etc ... — said the angel.
— Quintuplets are really an interesting phenomenon ... — said Augusto.
— Lord, we are not sisters, it is a skill, fruit of our lineage.
— In fact, we are just a being. — said the women.
Lineage are special genetic traits that were developed naturally or artificially by notable individuals. These characteristics would be passed on hereditarily to the descendants of an individual.
They were a rare physical manifestation that occurred due to a mutation that an individual suffered from being exposed to mana for a long time.
The stronger the individual, the greater the chances of developing a lineage.
[Appraisal]
[Helena Viridi]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 23 years old]
[Status: Wound / Sealed Mana]
[Fourth Magic Circle]
[Profession: Magic Warrior]
— Fourth circle, interesting ... She must be some kind of genius to reach this state at such a tender age. — The angel thought.
Augusto stared at the woman, while he seemed to be reflecting on something. Then he moved towards her and with a spear stroke, he broke the chains that were restricting her.
He was not afraid of Helena. She was hurt, even though she was a magical warrior from the fourth circle. He was confident that he was superior physically and in the use of spells.
— Thank you very much, lord! I don't know how to thank you. — Helena said while kneeling before her savior.
— Understand it as a favor. You will provide me with all the information I need. And I'm curious as to how your lineage works. — said Augusto
— Humans are such interesting creatures ... Seeing in person is quite different from books. — Augusto thought.
— As you wish, Lord. — said Helena.
After getting rid of the chains, Helena began to tell the story of how she ended up in that situation. The angel was standing in front of her, and she couldn't look up, because every time she tried, her heart began to pound wildly.
— Angels are creatures whose aesthetics approaches perfection, I cannot let myself be enchanted by the charm of this being.
— My lineage guarantees me incredible regenerative powers, after healing, I will be able to resist the charm of this angel.
Helena was an outstanding daughter of the Viridi family. She awakened her lineage skills at the age of 12. Considered with a great talent both in the field of magic, as in combat.
She was on an expedition to explore a dungeon in the northern region of Rio Vermelho.
The exploration group consisted of 10 individuals from the Viridi clan. Inside the dungeon, they were surprised by a horde of demons who were in a secret hall.
All were killed, except for Helena. One of his cousins, who awakened a skill similar to hers, was executed and had his head impaled on the spears that were around the fire.
After collecting all the information he wants, Augusto moved to one of the huts that was next to the fire. There he found a chest with some clothes and equipment.
He pulled on leather pants and tossed the rest of the equipment towards Helena, who was naked.
— Thank you, lord! — she said.
Helena was about 1.70 tall, with a shapely body, defined abdomen, large buttocks and short hair at shoulder height. His hair was a dark shade mixed with green, and his eyes were emerald green.
Augusto found it pleasant to look at her, it was a new feeling that he did not know how to describe.
— I don't know how you humans see beauty, but you are pleasing to the eye, woman. — said Augusto without any embarrassment.
— Thank you ... she said as she blushed.
— Now get up and get dressed, we have a lot to do, and if you delay my plans, I will cut your throat! Exclaimed the angel.
At this moment, Helena felt the temperature of the environment plummet, she knew that the angel was telling the truth.
— Yes, my lord, right now. — replied Helena.

Words I Left Unsaid
"Like a treasure map in a bottle, We were slowly drifting apart, Mother Nature sailing our purpose out to sea, The more I got to know you, I realised how much of a hoax your devotion was, Almost as fake as the smile I paint across my shattered face."This collection of poetry releases trauma in the form of expression - mainly the words I could never build up the courage to say. Most of these poems present conflict of the mind and allude to mental health struggles, which may be relatable to a certain community of people.Ranks -#3 in poem#3 in poembook#8 in poetry collection #7 in sadpoems#6 in poemcollection #7 in wisdom #15 in poetic
