The Ruined Death Knight-Novel

The once benevolent city of Ged´uruk, which now has fallen to ruin and became the dungeon that it is today from an event of the past.

A sand storm covering miles through the end was ravaging the outside. 

If one were to look at what was in front of him, they would write the sandstorm as a natural disaster that just happend to take place at a time and space.

One of the many unfortunate events that life would come to experience in the deserts of Azu´rah.

But if one were capable to sense nearby active mana or see the outside of the sand storm from far and high away, they would immensely recognize that this sand storm was in no way natural.

Like a sphere that turned in circles and covered most if not all sight together with other magical senses.

A barrier.

And the one currently responsible for it was a monstrosity that came back to its birthplace.

The tower of Ged´uruk was once ruled by the great Azu´rah.

****

Currently on the last floor...

As Danzel was about to swing his bastard sword at the young magic caster in the ground, a sudden shake as if an earthquake was taking place happend through the whole tower, making him barely miss the young man.

Seeing a massive shadow being cast on the floor, Danzel froze like a statue as he raised his head to see where the shadow was coming from.

Hanging into the top of the roof with its massive dragon-like leg and two massive wings covering the sunlight from falling down the floor. A massive being covered with freshly made wounds that made the blood coming out from them fall down the floor which Danzel was.

The most eye-catching thing of it though was the two massive necks that instead of a head there, two hands that looked as if they were molted down and fused with the neck itself in which in there middle of their palm hand a lipless mouth, showing to everyone the sharp teeth that it had.

Though Danzel and the others couldn´t see the other half of its body, if they could they would be able to see the massive blood that was coming from the place where its legs were supposed to be.

It would have looked as if it was cut in half.

"What the hell is that..." Danzel whispered to himself as he suddenly heard a metal sound falling to the ground.

Turning his head, he saw how the wraith´s possessed bodies had fallen to their knees and laid the voulges to the ground. 

`Why did those guys fall to the ground?´ Danzel thought to himself puzzled.

Noticing the necromancer´s confusion, the young magic caster saw its opportunity.

Raising his palm, his mana came outside and turned into flames.

"[Firebolt]!" The young magic caster cast, letting a small ball of flame fly towards the necromancer while he moved a few meters back.

Noticing the sudden chance coming from behind him, Danzel turned around a bit too late to either dodge or block the small of flames.

*Brough!

Receiving the impact, Danzel took a step back as some flames remained in his armor.

"..."

Watching the boy running towards the gate, Danzel paid him no mind. 

Although he was annoyed by the spell that he cast on him, Danzel's current concern was of no way that magic caster.

His focus lay towards the huge abomination that was on the roof.

Noticing that the two neck-arms with mouths were pointing their direction down to where they were, Danzel cursed internally.

`That thing heard that!´

A second later, he noticed a sudden change happening in that abomination's body.

Between the two neck-arms that it had, its muscles started to vibrate and move weirdly, with them not long after starting to grow.

"Wait, they aren´t growing but..."

Observing how the muscles started to get a top of each other and fuse together, Danzel recognize what the mass of muscles started to form was the top part of a man.

At first, the torso grew followed by two overly long hands that compared to the torso was skinless. 

"It´s building...a person?" Danzel questioned himself as he stared at how a human head started to form from the mass of muscles.

Alas, when he expected to see a normal head, what came out was the head of a man who had its eyelids melted with its flesh, essentially making the figure blind.

Or so would had been the case if there wasn´t a vertical bloodshot eye in its forehead.

The most disturbing fact of this figure was in Danzel's opinion how the man cried tears of blood out its already closed eyes that had melted with his face.

As soon as the creation of this half-human body was created, it turned its head down the floor and used its vertical bloodshot eye to dart left and right to see what was below him.

It first laid its eye towards the kneeling corpses that it recognize as the wraiths that took residents in its territory.

Switching its gaze towards the small human running away, a creepy smile started to form as its hunger started to awaken.

Turning its gaze towards the last person present under him, its previous smile vanished.

Staring down at the black armored figure with a hood, the focus on its vertical eye lay towards the right hand that was holding the bastard sword.

Specifically towards the black armored figure fingers.

The longer it stare down at that location the more furry was building up, which at one point turned into pure killing intent.

Danzel who was recognized how the eye stared at him with rage and sensing the killing intent.

He knew he was in huge trouble.

`Dammit! That thing will come for my head!´ Danzel thought as he was about to turn around and run.

But before he could, that abomination let a loud cry out of both its neck-arms and the crying man´s mouth. It was so loud that it generated a shock wave going through all the tower.

"KYAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

The shock was so strong that it traveled through the first floor and the ground itself outside the tower, raising simultaneously the sand of ruined city.

The sand that was raised though didn´t fall back to the ground though.

Instead, it started to gather like a reversed vortex in the air above the abomination, resulting in at the same time revealing many more buildings that were before covered in sands.

Luckily for Danzel and the wraiths, they were unaffected by the deafening roar of the abomination.

Alas, the same couldn´t be said for the young magic caster.

"Aghh~"

Falling to the ground with both his ears and eyes bleeding, the young magic caster fell to the ground like a puppet that had its strings cut off.

The abomination soon gripped the walls of the tower with its neck-hand and dragged itself down the floor itself.

"GIVE IT BACK!!!" The crying man roared with an overlapping voice of a different being.

"Dammit! Here is the home of this damned thing!" Danzel cursed out loud as he dashed towards the gate at full speed.

The moment the abomination started to drag itself into the walls and carve huge scars similar to the ones he saw in the pictures. He recognize that they were the same.

Ignoring the wraiths who were still kneeling to the ground, Danzel imminently made his escape from the falling down monstrosity and the wave of sand that was following behind it.

Once he reached the outside of the gate, the ground shook greatly.

Turning his head slightly, he saw how the monster reached the ground already and sent one of its neck-hands towards his direction.

"GIVE IT BACK!!!" 

Ignoring the crying´s man words, Danzel cursed internally as he guided his mana into the bastard sword.

`Dammit!´

Swinging his bastard's sword to the air, a dark green wind blade flew towards the neck-hand.

*Fsheeeeeen!

Slicing bits of flesh from the hand, it only halted for no longer than a second before it continued its way towards Danzel.

`It will catch me!´

Seeing that attacking this beast was useless and it was about to catch up to him in just a few seconds. Danzel gazed to the ground as an idea crossed his mind.

"Do I seriously have to do this!" He complained out loud as he guided his mana into the bastard's sword.

Knowing that there is no other way, he gritted his teeth while swinging the blade to the ground.

*Tiiink!

Ignoring the fact that his bastard's sword broke apart from using all his strength to slash the floor, he achieved what he wanted to do.

Showing cracks at first, the floor underneath Danzel grumbled.

Making Danzel free fall to the staircase floor just about when the neck-hands were about to grab him.

"Status!" Yelling out loud, a status window appeared in front of him.

Ignoring the hundreds of different skills and talents that this thing had Danzel finally got a grasp of what this monster was.

A devil.

"Dammit! From what kind of hole did that thing manage to come from!?" Danzel screamed in disbelieve as he watched the Devil breaking the floor and chasing after him.

Looking at the ground he was falling to, he braced himself for the impact as he decided to go for the plan that he made in case things don´t go that well.

*Boough! 

*Crack.

With his legs cracking, but not breaking apart thanks to the runes that lessen the fall of such height.

Danzel channeled his mana into the walls of the tower.

"To think that I will be forced to do this!" Danzel cursed out loud as the tower walls started extending to block the Devil, which the latter broke with no effort.

"GIVE IT BACK!!!"

But as a result of Danzel's action, the material that created the wall came from the tower itself.

And by taking the remaining stone that was supporting the tower from the top...

The tower started to grumble.

"Fall!" Danzel yelled as the tower started to grumble from the top all way through the bottom and burying the wraiths together with him and the Devil with the whole damn tower itself
